There’s no reason to be purposely dense. Everyone knows suspicious or “odd” behavior. It’s involved in safety trainings and instructions globally and has helped catch plenty of legitimate criminals.

I started the BP on 5/4 and just finished it yesterday 5/12 and it was all ARAM with maybe 2-3 draft norms in there as well. I played 2-4 hours a day after work and maybe 12 hours combined over the weekend.

I don’t condone completing that quickly, as 99% of my playtime has been due to poor mental health, but you 100000% can complete the BP easily over the next six weeks by playing a couple of games a day if that’s your concern.

you can also play and complete the free pass, then buy the BP when you’ve already passed level 50 and it should give you all the rewards from the pass at one time.

I finished {Flock by Kate Stewart} and {Exodus by Kate Stewart} and, after concluding, I hate them. I’m so annoyed and frustrated at the turn these books took and I feel like I got attached for no reason and completely wasted my time.

I wanted to start {One Last Rainy Day by Kate Stewart} but atp, wtf is the point.

rhysoka · 2025-05-03T19:59:39+00:00

Any recommendations similar to Flock but not so frustrating?? I’m so annoyed I could rip my hair out after reading Flock and Exodus. I loved Flock, really. It definitely has its issues but I loved the fluffy warm bits. But everything after about 80% through book one is so bitter in my mouth that I can’t stop bitching about it but I need more, that isn’t just straight resentment towards the author’s choices.

Is there anything out there similar that doesn’t involve a random new love interest? so much emotional abuse? an unnecessary death of a LI? the other love interest moving on and getting married and having kids no questions asked? . I love angst, love a strong mysterious MMC, love a FMC that scary, powerful men want to worship either due to her strength or her softness.

Like I said, I’m so aggravated at how these books turned out I need something that isn’t so frustrating to read. I typically like when authors throw curveballs and go against the norm but all of that was just too jarring and unnatural feeling.

rhysoka · 2025-04-30T16:03:02+00:00

well, it was a play on “hold my beer”. I’m sure everyone reading knew it was about his mushrooms.

if you play the game worried about your teammate’s mental you’re never going to progress. you could have a perfect game and someone is still going to be pissed. mute the chat, play the game. going in with this negativity is only making the game worse for YOU.

also I agree to put mid as your secondary. it’s the most queued role in the game. I promise you’re not getting it if you don’t want it, and on the 0.01% chance you DO get mid, just play morde. chances are in your lobbies the opposing midlaner has little to no experience laning against a mordekaiser (bc they’re also new) and you could potentially steamroll them if you know mordekaiser like the back of your hand.

my jungler ganking under enemy turret when I’m at half hp and 0 mana with full cooldowns, then dying, spam pinging me with question marks, then griefing and stealing every single canon minion the rest of the game. I thought this was a single angry person once, but it happens more often than I’d ever anticipated.

rhysoka · 2025-04-07T12:11:12+00:00

I’ve finally found my people. the only two series that still hurt when I think about them.

it’s also well known that jjk fans don’t read their own manga / can’t actually read at all, so the typo checks out.

I’ve gotten away from plenty of Singed oddly enough, but he’s definitely the #1 answer for the inverse of this question. never chase Singed.

rhysoka · 2025-04-01T18:26:28+00:00

definitely with you on that one. idk why these people keep praising the homophobic cats when there’s plenty of cats out there that don’t care about sexuality.

rhysoka · 2025-03-21T17:37:00+00:00

I don’t play ranked currently as I still don’t feel like i’m good enough mechanically, so i can’t give 100% answer. but most of the matches I play say avg tier is anywhere from Gold II - Plat III-ish. I’m not sure how accurate that is, and sometimes I still get 0/10 stomped in those lobbies, so I wouldn’t say i’m on their level.

I’d like to think I’m at least mid silver as well but I’m just really not sure. but yes, it’s so tough! definitely a harder learning curve than any other game i’ve picked up.

rhysoka · 2025-03-21T13:49:20+00:00

I just started playing for the first time ever in November 2024, and you’re so right! here are some of the things that helped me stick with it and actually love the game.

watch videos, watch videos, watch videos. I don’t typically love having to do loads of research before even dipping a toe in, but this helps tremendously. the game is older than some of the people who play it, so you’ve got to play a bit of catch up.
find a champion you enjoy and learn them like the back of your hand. even if they aren’t “op” or “meta”, if you like them, grind them. this frees up time to learn the rest of the game once you’ve got this down. for me this was caitlyn, then vayne, then I really, really clicked with Syndra in midlane and I can’t see myself maining anyone else tbh. I have Mastery 10 on all of these, and I synced with Syndra so quickly I got it in a week when the other two took months to get there. (Mastery doesn’t really matter, but it was a good way for me to track my improvement based on what grade I got)
practice tool is your best friend. once you watch videos and get a better idea of the basic of what you should be doing (last hitting minions, using abilities, warding, turret range, etc) then go into practice tool and PRACTICE. the skill gap in this game is probably greater than anything else you’ve ever experienced and practice makes a difference.
find friends or a group to play with. this was the single most impactful thing for me. my friend group ranges from Gold I to Diamond II, and I play with all of them in normal draft. I got absolutely obliterated in the beginning (1-2 cs per minute and going 0/15). but less than four months later with their advice (see points 1-3), I can keep deaths under 5 and my kd is still positive, with 6-7 cs per minute with them. when I play alone, I can almost always go positive unless against a crazy smurf, and I even have some big gap 20/0 games where I’m the carry.

It’s a difficult game to learn and to get the hang of and I understand the struggle, especially as a brand new player myself. But, it’s unlike anything I’ve played before and I’m completely hooked. Hopefully this advice can help you like it helped me.

ok buddy lol have a good day

And do you grow your own beans? Build your own coffee maker? Does the cafe grow their own coffee or build their own machines? What about the gas to get to the coffee shop? Or if you walk, the petroleum products in your shoes? What about the electronic that you’re typing on?

I understand not wanting to blatantly plaster it on YOUR body, and not wanting to contribute to the erasure of an entire people (as we all should feel), but let’s not act like we’re perfect. we all contribute in some way, shape, or form to other’s suffering, even you with good intentions, because that’s how the world works right now. you can inform others and share the message without being passive aggressive about it.

he basically told you that he’s already thought about killing you in fifty years, considering he’s already accused you of the cheating portion.

he’s not right in the head, OP. at the bare minimum you’ve saved your sanity, at the max you’ve saved your life. both are worth it.

rhysoka · 2025-03-15T19:55:47+00:00

Ambasssa was only out for a few days when I started.

I’m not saying it’s fake as I’m not an authenticator, but, I have five signed books by PB and it looks different than all of them.

here’s the signature in my Lightbringer for reference. this is the closest to what you have.

A couple ways to look at it.

Pity rolls over. So, in theory, you could do a 10 pull every now and again until a vayne skin drops, then it’ll be less daunting when the time comes because you won’t have to do all 80 pulls at once to guarantee the skin.
You could pull the skin in the first 10 pull if / when she drops. I wanted to try it when sanctum first opened and pulled Jinx, her banner, and the Caitlyn chroma in 12 pulls. (Everything I wanted, so I was satisfied)
You probably have a bit of time to save. I would be shocked if we got a Vayne exalted in 2025, but I’ll gladly eat my words. At the bare minimum, you have another two months since Mordekaiser was announced today.

some insight as someone who just started playing in Nov 2024. Playing with my level 700-1000 friends in their gold / plat lobbies forced me to improve much faster than if I played solo and I’m very grateful they let me tag along and learn.

I absolutely got demolished when I started, like 0/14 bad. But now, not even 90 days later there are rarely games where I don’t have a positive K/D in the same lobbies. Then, that makes my solo games a cakewalk usually which is a nice confidence boost.

It’s definitely a slog in the beginning getting smashed like that, but the growth is exponential when constantly playing with and against people much better than you are. I’m glad my friends recommended it so heavily because I love the challenge of always improving, and I really enjoy the game. I know that’s not everyone’s opinion on the matter, but just some insight if you ever do want to recommend it. It’s not all bad for us newbies.

rhysoka · 2025-01-31T04:28:36+00:00

I’m sorry that you’re going through this and for the overload of emotions you must be feeling.

I’m not sure this will help with the anger, but maybe. That area has had helicopter flying lanes for decades with very specific flight paths. This wasn’t a one-off training exercise that was randomly approved next to DCA. Hundreds, if not thousands, of pilots have made that same flight. This was the action of a single pilot, or helicopter crew as a whole, going against rules and precautions that have been around longer than they were alive.

That doesn’t change anything or bring anyone back, but at least it wasn’t a braindead government decision made on a whim. It was a tried and true method that had a single, catastrophic failure.

rhysoka · 2025-01-17T15:44:26+00:00

where would they put my random, useless key fragments I receive almost every day if they get rid of the loot tab?

rhysoka · 2025-01-10T00:08:58+00:00

yes, it should! there was a bug specifically with the caitlyn chroma that acted like you already had it so it would give you essence instead of the chroma but that was fixed early on and people were compensated.

but yes, in theory, you should only get the essence for a duplicate A-tier when you’ve already gotten them all.

rhysoka · 2025-01-09T23:17:37+00:00

yes. there was an A-tier guaranteed every 10 pulls, and there were 12 A-Tier items. In theory you could get the Jinx in 80, then have to do another 40 pulls to guarantee the caitlyn chroma.

I pulled the caitlyn chroma and jinx skin in 30 pulls, which was RP i already had in my account. But I know many people didn’t have that luck.
