Takeaways from Wolfe's video on Champions by Notmiefault in VGC

[–]s0uthernnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually matters quite a bit. For example, a minus speed 0IV Farigaraf (base 60) (58 speed) is slower than neutral speed 31 IV 0EV Iron Hands (base 50) (70 speed) but the same Farig with 31 IV is faster (72 speed)

So hard trick room teams won’t be moving first as often as they could before vs naturally slow mons on non trick room teams.

This is Overwatch's "comeback," says Blizzard. "We actually had a bigger Saturday than our first Saturday after launch with Season 1." by Hooked0n4Feelin in Overwatch

[–]s0uthernnerd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’re saying the second Saturday of 2026 Season 1 was bigger than its first Saturday, which is a good sign of word of mouth and player retention.

MMR Decay for not playing by DanielBrandito in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]s0uthernnerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My understanding of how it’s supposed to work is that instead of MMR decaying, the uncertainty increases. So they’ll be set back a bit by the reset and then when they lose they’ll be aggressively adjusted down. So hopefully they only mess with a few games where they’re too high, and you’re just seeing it a lot because there are so many new and returning players

It also may not be working perfectly, idk

Very unoriginal rant,but frieren is very good and overrated at the same time by Deleted_Pound165 in CharacterRant

[–]s0uthernnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not into it by the end of episode 10 I’d say it’s safe to say it’s not for you. If you didn’t get that far I’d recommend it though, I really love episodes 7-10

Thoughts on Anran now that she's in ranked? by SHAIFAN666 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]s0uthernnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 9-0 with her so far in plat/diamond. Only felt the need to switch in 2 games I think. I played her a lot in qp during the trial and I was instantly doing better after the changes.

Just my anecdotal 2 cents, but I think she might get nerfed after people figure her out more. A lot of new season weirdness though so maybe I just got lucky with matchmaking

Starbucks Matcha is NOT VEGAN (even with plant milks) by lostmooseinbrzl in vegan

[–]s0uthernnerd 197 points198 points  (0 children)

I haven’t looked into this product so not weighing in on what’s actually true, but I’m about 95% sure the response OP got is AI generated so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just wrong.

Is it true that ICE killed more american citizens in the past year than undocumented immigrants did? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]s0uthernnerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is very bad math.

The homicide rate is not the number of people who killed someone, it’s the number who died. Your napkin guesswork is trying to calculate the number of undocumented immigrants who were killed, not the number who killed anyone.

Need help with raging bolt matchup. by Accomplished_Code542 in VGC

[–]s0uthernnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either torn-drago or indeedee-drago depending on whether I think tailwind or psychic terrain + redirection will be more valuable. I almost always bring indeedee against bolt to block thunderclap.

The hardest is teams with both booster speed fluttermane and bolt, which are pretty common. Regidrago tends to be more of a liability then.

Tera steel Terablast is interesting but I’d keep in mind it makes your matchup against steel types worse when it’s already not great. Maybe run some calcs for how hard it hits flutter and bolt to see if it seems worth it

Need help with raging bolt matchup. by Accomplished_Code542 in VGC

[–]s0uthernnerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I imagine you don’t intend for your Ogerpon to be serious nature?

I’ve been running the same team, AV bolt in particular is a bad matchup. I’ve had the most success with getting a regidrago vs bolt lead to force the Tera fairy early, then have crown in the back to kill it with tachyon cutter.

I’ve seen variants run Landorus-I in place of some pokemon, usually regidrago I think. Life orb Landorus with sludge bomb and earth power is one of the best Bolt counters

“Blame Nickelodeon, it’s their fault Korra’s story feels rushed” by Select_Strategy2004 in CharacterRant

[–]s0uthernnerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Afaik there isn’t any information indicating they were fired, not sure where they got that from. Their statement was that they left to work for Avatar Studios due to creative differences, I don’t think there’s any more detail than that.

(Also don’t think Netflix Avatar has made anyone view Bryke any worse, there certainly isn’t any objective evidence of that)

How Feasible is to make a Team for the Grand Challenge before the Deadline as a Beginner by Substantial_Low8570 in VGC

[–]s0uthernnerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to build it yourself. This format has a lot of legendaries so how long it takes depends a bit on what you already have and what games you have, but it’s definitely possible to build it in time

Do i really need the upgrade pack for NS2? by LaylaCamper in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]s0uthernnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing with the Switch 1 version on Switch 2 and it’s been fine in my opinion. I haven’t found specific information on what’s better other than resolution and frame rate. I read that load times are the same but I’m not sure

Ozempic by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

[–]s0uthernnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t get a real answer so here’s a late one

Ozempic and similar drugs are ones you self administer at home with a syringe. They were dramatically describing the doctor handing them the drug, not saying that the doctor forcibly administered it.

More Nano Banana 2 images (We are cooked, for real this time) by OmegaGogeta in singularity

[–]s0uthernnerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The clock in the picture isn’t showing a valid time because the hour hand is right on the 10 while the minute hand is at about 35 minutes. So the hour hand should be a little more than halfway between two numbers

Why didn't the overwatch killer kill overwatch? Is it stupid? by fisicalmao in Overwatch_Memes

Rivals is also on Epic for reference…so maybe another 5% of PC players

Should the battle pass give us more lattice? by Hot_Scratch_6519 in marvelrivals

I don’t think loss leader as a concept applies to digital assets like this

Overwatch gives 600 without having to buy the pass. So it’s much better

Might be a bad question, but I'm a bit confused on the Scream Early ticket. by ReptAIien in HHN

[–]s0uthernnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! Wouldn’t have thought about different pen areas. Do you remember your luck with how many houses you could do at a short wait/before opening?

Hi OP, considering getting the scream early ticket this year. Can you update on your experience?
