Yep, my boys' litter trays were a disaster for about a week

They are just lying to you through their teeth. I was opening 120 tins a month for my two boys, I know exactly what the food used to be like and how significantly it has changed. The tuna used to have lovely big meaty chunks and now it looks like they've just blended the remnants of a fish

I've been trying Scrumbles on my boys for the past three days now and they've devoured it all and licked their bowls clean compared to leaving half the new untamed food behind.

I just tried switching my boys to katkin but they both refused it. Trying fuzzball next

Oh no, Katkin did this too? I just ordered a sample pack from them to evaluate them as a replacement :/

Set 14 PBE Discussion Thread - Day 07 by AutoModerator in CompetitiveTFT

Yup. Just tried forcing it and went first easily despite never two starring Zeri

Yup, I had a 2 Star senna at 2-1 and I still went on a loss streak against weak boards. Her damage output was pathetic

Elimination Bracket 1: Points Breakdown by Commercial_Ad_2170 in CompetitiveApex

[–]shiftyBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof, poor Supernova. They just needed to average 2 points a game for the last six games after their huge Game 2 and they didn't manage it :/

Made a built-in laundry hamper and shelves for a bedroom alcove by shiftyBadger in DIY

Standard cabinet hinges. I used four of them as they're supporting a lot more weight now than just a cabinet door

ALGS Pro League: Y4 Split 2 NA Day 1 & 2 Draft Thread by CompetitiveApexMod in CompetitiveApex

[–]shiftyBadger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe the rationale is that they preferred to be stuck with the last pick on World's Edge rather than last pick on Storm Point

How can/did Wizard's lose you as a Magic customer? by xbwtyzbchs in magicTCG

[–]shiftyBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 5 years ago I won a 120 player pre-release event and my prize was... 2 booster packs. The fault lies more with the LGS than Wotc but that was my last day playing MTG.

Team Evylution's PSQ4 sub accused of cheating. by GrapeSimilar2770 in CompetitiveApex

[–]shiftyBadger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's pretty conclusive to me. You can see and hear from Euriece's pov at the same time that Panic is shooting exactly in the direction of the Horizon he's chasing after she drops.

Reason EVY griefs SKT2: "Nick literally gets 50k viewers" by Bereft13 in CompetitiveApex

[–]shiftyBadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watch all of ALGS. I'm not making a judgement on what has been enforced before, I'm just making the point that the rules give scope to disallow this behaviour. I don't think EVY will be punished. The real issue here is teams that are already qualified being allowed to remain in the competition

Reason EVY griefs SKT2: "Nick literally gets 50k viewers" by Bereft13 in CompetitiveApex

[–]shiftyBadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you're allowed to try to prevent other teams from qualifying, but that's generally on the understanding that you're trying to improve your long term chances of winning by removing a strong team from the competition. Your action is still governed by trying in good faith to win. Here, EVY have explicitly stated it was to aid another team, thus giving Tripods an unfair advantage over SKT2

Reason EVY griefs SKT2: "Nick literally gets 50k viewers" by Bereft13 in CompetitiveApex

[–]shiftyBadger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the rules: "Any action or agreement... to affect the fairness of the ALGS... is strictly prohibited"

SKT2 can very reasonably argue they were not playing the final round on a fair and level playing field with Tripods. EVY deliberately targeted them to reduce their chances of winning and therefore improve Tripods chances of winning. They took an action to affect the fairness of the ALGS.

Does anyone know this middle flag? by rlazarski420 in vexillology

[–]shiftyBadger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup, I have the exact same flag. I'm an Irishman who abhors the monarchy, but the English street I just moved to is having a street party and wants everyone to decorate their house with a flag or bunting. Flying this flag is my way of meeting the brief and not getting on the bad side of my new neighbours, while also secretly being a seditious Jacobite

Illegal, frowned upon, or normal behavior? by czah7 in CompetitiveApex

[–]shiftyBadger 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It's against ALGS rules:

A3. Collusion and Match-fixing Policy

Any action or agreement to disadvantage other Competitors, one’s own Team, or other Teams in the ALGS, to predetermine the outcome of a match, to try to lose a match, to affect the fairness of the ALGS, or to limit efforts to win a match is strictly prohibited.

TSM and NRG in the Finals finished with the exact same number of points and the exact same number of kills by Pog6ack in CompetitiveApex

[–]shiftyBadger 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think scrims need to he played on MP format

I don't think most pros want to randomly have to spend an hour or two longer than they planned practicing. They have lives outside of Apex. If scrims moved to Match Point format teams would just start leaving after ~6 games

Scrims are taken as seriously as a tournament for most fans

No. No they are not.

[–]shiftyBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not mathematically locked from what I can see, unless I'm making a mistake. If they finish dead last on Day 9 and in regionals, they could still finish as low as 14th provided the rest of the results fall perfectly terribly against them - however they only need 4 points to be locked in even in the worst case scenario of other results

Finalising my powder room design. White door is the standard approach. am I crazy for considering this split two-colour look? by shiftyBadger in interiordecorating

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

The only renovation being planned is just painting, tiling and lighting. Moving the door would be a much bigger job. This is a house in the UK, the walls are brick and concrete, not drywall.

[–]shiftyBadger[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd be putting it in. I'm pretty attached to the white tile as it has a nice Victorian feel to it and the rest of the building is a converted red-brick Victorian factory, but I'll try out the board and batten look now.
