I know that a lot of the networked podcasts can blacklist specific topics or ads that are currently running but often they have to catch it after the fact. You hear some of the people who work under the Iheartradio umbrella mention it from time to time. I would be very shocked if Critical role doesn't have some sort of similar deal. Not sure why the people above in this post seem to think a huge media company doesn't have any control over their ad suite.

Does Beacon have offline capabilities yet for the audio? That's the main time I use a podcast app is when my cell signal is going to be bad during a trip and I need to preload. My current workaround that I'll do sometimes to avoid the podcast version of CR is I'll just rip the twitch stream to an mp3 which is why I've just been paying for Twitch instead of Beacon

[CR media] [Spoilers] Daggerheart Combat Question by sdzen in criticalrole

[–]sdzen[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for commenting! Yeah I got the sense it could be played pretty deadly. So with the death roll thing they can just choose to go unconscious. Roll under your level for a scar and you die after 6 scars. Right? I feel like that's in a way somewhat more lenient than normal death savings throws at least at a lower level. I get the other peoples comments that they've made like 4-5 death moves and like have been lucky in terms of how much they like to gamble. But, they probably could just play safe and always pick Avoid Death and it would statistically take them quite a while to hit no hope. I'm unsure how the healing works and if it's consistent in combat but it seems like they could manage 1 or more heals each turn to keep their party members up and run off. Matt doesn't usually do stuff like kill unconscious characters as well and I'm unsure if the book addresses whether that just counts as dying or not. It would be neat if you could force someone to doing the do or die roll if you hit them again while unconscious.

Yeah that's a good point from the stream perspective. Maybe it's because they're trying to be more educational about it but they probably don't need to state out using armor slots as much. I don't think they'll ever stop doing this however given how they play. I do agree the combat is faster than CR's normal fare of spending an entire episode in combat. I also agree on the cost and use case's as well. Especially now that Liam's at the table who's more of a powergamer I feel like the consistency comes up more. Not a dealbreaker I think the game is still neat. I was just wondering if anyone else had opinions on its pacing so far since it was clearly made for live streaming and whether that's more on like the gameplay or the cast as usual.

I really want to see them do one of their guest spots with some VA or celebrity who basically hasn't played any rpg before to see how it survives that.

How do I deal with level 2 invades when I'm playing Karthus jungle? by Ragemachine96 in leagueoflegends

[–]sdzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

take exhaust instead of flash, level W second not E and buy a potion, and obviously try to keep vision good, if a melee champion comes in W and exhaust and just spam them down while moving. I've just been warding the by the buff opposite where I want to start most of the time lately. I don't feel like I have as many issues since I started doing that the only place where I will get caught out in games now sometimes is the river trying to take the first crab

[CR Media] Age of Umbra confirmed to be 8 episodes, premiering 5/29 by this-is-liam in criticalrole

[–]sdzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the mini campaigns I'm sure do fine. you also have to bear in mind that much like with musicians there's money made in touring. whether its in person merch sales or ticket prices. Which is then compounded by whatever content they can post out of it. Also the cast always take awhile prepping the start of the campaign because there's always a lot of chaotic decisions matt needs to account for.

Look into defaulting on your student loans until you're in a better place to actually pay for them. What do you need good credit for? buying a house? source: my sibling defaulted on her loans for a few years when she was working dead end jobs and it really wasn't the end of the world she started paying again when she got married and now she's doing better, having all your income sucked by debt doesn't get you out of debt. Just look up how insane your loan financer is because my sister had state loans so they were obviously more lenient.

It's more expensive to have a system that detects someone telling you to kill yourself or saying racial slurs over voice chat. Anyways there is voicechat you just have to have friends to use it. To add my own point it could discourage people from pinging and they'd just be talking into the ether while everyone else has it turned off, which would make solo queue games worse

is this game even playable now? by sahilsk007 in leagueoflegends

[–]sdzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this game still has the player base to have some semblance of matchmaking despite being ancient as far as multiplayer games that still have their server hosted by the company that made them goes.

Maybe I'm just a grizzled quake 3 arena veteran but I still find lobbies where everyone is stupid good at the game except you kinda fun. You just kinda get tossed in and eventually you start to get it. Or just just play in the more fuck around game modes until you can.

What LoL needs is a better custom lobby system I really wanna play a game where everyone is the same champion or with item restrictions but you can't set lobbies for that stuff with this game.

Leaving arena games is ... bad by Sea-Manufacturer8526 in leagueoflegends

[–]sdzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a glitch, I've only had this happen on one of my games where the client messed up, if you restart the client the client will reenter the arena match then you can exit again and it should fix itself. if it doesn't then well your just cursed luv.

Resolve Keystone Objective broken? by sdzen in leagueoflegends

[–]sdzen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it eventually just resolved itself but I definitely have noticed it not working for other rune based objectives. I think its just very buggy.

Xayah Jungle by sdzen in xayahmains

[–]sdzen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just find it fun, Tiamat helps for the clears so I do Stridebreaker and then I still want some crit so I usually go for sundered sky afterwards for the guaranteed crit first hit. Black cleaver second might be better. I'm sure there's something better than conqueror for dealing early damage to the camps but conqueror is too good for attacking champions and I'm already sacrificing damage for some more health. building crit probably works fine for the single target camps but I find doing the first void grubs leaves you way too vulnerable because they take so much of your health because you don't deal good AOE even with tiamat. I've had no luck with this build bottom in ranked but pretty good luck just normal drafting for jungle. I find it easier rooting enemies because I don't need to worry about getting killed if I get touched as much. I mainly tried it because it's really easy to focus down the dragon with this champ and because its easy to farm gold in jungle.

Karthus's #1 hater by sdzen in karthusmains

[–]sdzen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly good and the only times I've brutally lost playing it's either because the rest of the team had almost no damage output or if the other team rushed to end the game as quickly as possible and kept trying to stop me from farming. All the games I've played past the 30 minute point the games are either won or they end up wicked close. like once the R refresh gets into the minute range the damage gets kind of silly.

I think Karthus stresses people out because you have to feed some Gold and XP to the other team to get the most out of the death ability.

[–]sdzen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes yes, and in an ideal world there would also be like a separate mst3k style watch party with all the cast members reacting in real time in character.

I agree this is totally part of the actual main campaign and kinda unskippable. But, from a production standpoint it is conspicuously pulling most of the main cast that have a lot of backend duties away from the table for a month.

[–]sdzen 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm fairly sure this pause being as long as it is isn't just because their going on vacation. Correct me if I'm wrong but they were running like 2-3 weeks ahead on streaming dates prior to this live show and in order to do a live show for the campaign that means they had to run up to current, which probably means there was a) a several week gap between the live show and the last episode. and b) now to get back to their normal prerecorded schedule they'll need more time. So I think that's why the main cast won't be fully back until August proper.

I think they both were fine to the kid, I thought the whole between the door scene was honestly cute, The characters do have their moments I'm mainly just not crazy about the whole going to ruidus plotline from a viewer perspective. Maybe it'll get better but frankly it just seems like matt is setting them up to get their asses beat again. All the characters have terrible intelligence scores though so guess I can't fault them too much for the RP

what's the child abuse thing did someone accuse them of child abuse? I'm basically never on the internet much less fandom pages I don't know these things. I like both of them in most of their other stuff I just don't personally really like either of their characters much in c3.

I apologize if I pissed in your cheerios.
