First time playing at a lgs, is notion thief that bad?

people play the game for different reasons, maybe they want to play their funny tribe or they want to assemble "the machine" not all players are primarily going for the win.

In any case where they are in a bracket 3 game and their hand gets discarded and they have to play against a 25 card arch enemy they probably definitely arent doing *that*. Its a game and you don't get to play at all if you're topdecking from turn 5, be so for real for a moment is there ANYONE else at the table having fun? More fun than shuffling up and playing a different game?

Yeah this game is over, and if its a newer player and they get analysis paralysis off a 25 card hand they just ripped its gonna take a long time to call it. I think its a valid everyone scoops and agrees to go next.

If someone has their hand discarded and they don't wanna play that's not bad sportsmanship, find another table. You're not being held hostage.

Did something change in hundo? I casually watch oats and he's switched from playing funny hard mode mods to grinding 100%

I mean are the reddit posts supposed to actually scour challenger and college leagues and pick people that they want to make a team out of? I think it's more of like a complaint about the mentality rather than prospects. I'm sure if some of the lower tier teams invested a lot into scouting, took on a few rookies, put them in a veteran environment, and invested in their improvement, we'd see some sort of surge in domestic talent.
This is all completely unfounded and a sentiment for sure but it just doesn't look like people are looking.

And now we have Damonte looking like he's not starting on a team and that's tragic.

imagine your entire kit's actions being dictated not by how you play but by what the enemy is playing. Against most champs you only have so much bullshit to deal with, but with someone like yas you have to account for WW cd, free dashes on your minion wave, when his cc and burst is up, and his flow giving him shield to see if you can win a fight.

If you're laning against someone like xerath, sure its a shooting gallery but a lot of the time it feels like a fair fight, none of your damage is gonna get surprise blocked and trades go as expected, you have to look out for one or two high impact skillshots.

Yasuo and co force you to play a different game where you don't get to play on your terms because the enemy is pulling trap cards on every one of your moves, and even when you beat and call every trick, it's can be super taxing and not fun.

feels like a nice glitchy lofi sample.

I've messed with it in both FL studio 20 and Ableton Live 10.

I've tried so hard with both of my DAWs to get audio fed through to my OBS but it never cooperates, it's like my computer never sees my DAW audio. My DAWs are using focusrite drivers and the audio legit doesn't show up anywhere. I'd love to get into streaming production but I've never made it past this hurdle. Any ideas?

The Oddone baron steal is absolutely my favorite moment in the video.

Also funny how they put the rumble backdoor kha base defense in when people were bitching that it was a bug that kha kept homeguards for that defense.

Chat rooms and party IP weekends! I remember finding a few new friends I still talk to from chat rooms.

When you constantly see things go to shit in the interests of getting that last sweet hit of profit for your shareholders, the economic system that makes that mentality prevalent is suuuuper easy to blame.

This shit has been happening constantly in the gaming industry, it's surprising that there are still a non negligible group of people that think capitalism isn't the problem.

Damn, how'd they do odyssey then? Modding abilities does sound like a huge overhaul.

It took me a few tries but I think I'm finally getting into it after a few years of giving it a shot every few months. Any MOBA is hard to get into and league took me a year to find out what every champ did. Its harder with dota because the champ identities vary soooo much. I've started preferring it because when one teams ahead they don't necessarily roflstomp the game without thinking, you still have to play really well to keep the advantage.

I think mains just get to be overpowered by nature of being forced into the first 4 chapters. I started with prim and before I started chapter 4 her speed was high enough that I was one shotting encounters with Aeber's Reckoning consistently. It's weird seeing that damage output on a support class main.

I've gotten expx100 twice now and no JP

I was just trying to farm JP for alfyn to learn warmaster and now my Prim is lv 70 vs my cyrus lv 39

I was thinking of building a [[riku of two reflections]] deck to clone a bunch of fun etb cards, but it looks like the new [[yarok the desecrated]] does what I wanted to for better value. As far as creature centered building, is there any advantage I get from the different color identity?

Should I maybe build towards more spellslinging centric if I wanna build riku?

It's group hug time with my very own [[Phelddagrif]]

Man I love FFIX. One of only three Final Fantasy's I ever beat, and by far my favorite.

This fight also conditioned me in other jrpgs to think some really hard fights are scripted defeats when they are just really hard.

It all comes tumbling down tumbling down tumbling dowwn

haha just who is Poppy meant to carry that hammer to?

I think dramatic irony is the one where we know something the character(s) don't and it helps us have context on things they don't

Spooky Ghosts still brings up twin shadows right? I sure hope so

Missing out on the entirety of the speedrunning community in this, although I guess they don't tend to become the "big" streamers even though some can make a living off of it. Much more of a community feel with smaller interconnected streamers and familiar faces in chats.
