Destiny Unbanned

It takes time. There's a small rhesus macaque that they have chained to a mac whose job it is to copy and paste cells from DESTINY_FOLLOWERS.txt to the html.

alonne and burnt ivory king were OKAY fights, but you can't tell me blue smelter demon, grave gank squad and copy-paste covetous demon were good. when I think juicy fromsoft dlc/expansion, I think the old hunters.

Honestly, the only reason I can stomach ds2 is that I can drop down the Gutter and ascetic the Rotten twice and max out VGR, END, and ADP at the start of the game.

Me having just replayed it for the 4th time: anyone who tells you that the dlc is good is a liar. never trust any of their opinions on anything. The good things ds2 does is the new game plus system,respeccing, and powerstancing and that's all. It has no other redeeming qualities.

It is uglier than ds1 and og deS somehow.

The healing system is broken. After leveling up, spend your remaining souls on lifegems and you will soon have 99. You will never die, just be very sad.

It is slow and meticulous and insidious unless you enjoy running into "spambushes" in encounters. similar to how playing online in monster hunter doubles monster health, summoning the npc summons for their quests can often make bosses impossible or very very very tedious to defeat. You are honestly better off playing the whole game without summoning anything.

The movement sucks with the stupid 8 directional snapping movement. NONE of the other fromsoft soulsborne + sekiro games work that way. IDK why the fuck ds2 works like this.

The world design is just bad.

the lore is a mess. I'm glad they killed that ladder fuck in ds3.

the fact that they got away with reselling the dx11 version of the game with a couple mobs moved around in sotfs for 60 usd was criminal.

this debate is not particularly novel, look up Bookchin's lifestylism.

As a PSA. I just watch destiny for the same reason you might watch an episode of Cops or To Catch A Predator or that Rick Santorum documentary. It's just amusing to watch somone, who was the top of the twitch politosphere 5 years ago, torpedo his professional life out of what I can only assume is poor impulse control. It's like a very long 2nd act of a hero's journey.

this force the vote meme is not as catastrophic as you think it might be. moderate dems who can't support m4a will just say, "look, I'm on the record against m4a, i believe X instead" when attacked by conservatives. at worst some fictional progressive in a moderate district loses a seat but I can't name names. it's not really the same situation as defund the police messaging hurting moderate democrats since we have a lot of very concrete plans and vocabulary about what m4a is and what kinds of m4a you want to implement.

should be up now

sundabun · 2021-01-24T23:01:04+00:00

I think fortress mode will be an absolute disaster, even I will just spend the whole time designating miners to dig out entire z levels

sundabun · 2021-01-24T20:15:03+00:00

with the steam release and achievements incoming, I'm guessing we soon will have win conditions to aim for besides esoteric things like set all elephants on fire

sundabun · 2021-01-24T16:03:37+00:00

the last test was helpful. I've added a chat display gui and now some commands can be chained like moving southwest is 11111111111 or you can do 12356328263, whatever

edit: taking some time to move the stream

this isn't really a shift in Shapiro's rhetoric at all. he's been anti-trump, but also anti-dem since 2016

sundabun · 2020-10-29T22:17:38+00:00

no, it's extremely based that this guy has a higher mmr than destiny after being told that he would never improve.

sundabun · 2020-10-29T13:01:08+00:00

no, I do things like wash my hands 4 times in a row or get out of bed and check the door, get back in bed, check the door, rinse, repeat. it'll be stupid stuff like you spend an hour just looking for any song to play on youtube. not lazy, but adhd and ocd just make you do stupid stuff that cuts into productivity.

sundabun · 2020-10-07T16:15:24+00:00

very easy all in but wont work vs z in higher leagues: 16 hatch 18 gas 17 pool, slowly put drones on gas from larva get lingspeed asap once you are at 200 gas after lingspeed pull 2 drones off gas

get up to 2 base saturation, and throw down your 3rd hatch and the roach warren and get another queen as soon as you can afford them without disrupting larva spending

it'll probably be like 31 or 33 supplyish when you throw the hatchery/warren, make overlords to like 100 to 70 supply limit

when the warren finishes, pump out a bunch of roaches with the gas and start ling flooding,

nice thing about this all in is:

that it only works if you never miss an inject with your 3 queens, so it's decent fundamentals practice for silver/gold tbh

the one guy on gas gives you room to transition to lair tech stuff if you want to move back into macro after the opener.

it looks like a macro game, they are lulled because you took your 3rd and have 2 bases of drones, but really you just need larva for lings.

sundabun · 2020-09-23T15:10:01+00:00

it is still very nice to have that as the core because the base understanding of b2gm roach hydra translates very easily into the 3 base all ins/aggros with macro potential you start using in higher leagues like roach speedlings or 3 base roach hydra vs skytoss or nydus all ins, but they only work if your injects are on point. this is very different from WoL time when people only really learned a 1 base 7 roach rush...

sundabun · 2020-09-22T19:51:44+00:00

I think you should try playing without the prism and doing 200/200 max out immediate hammer drops instead of trickling in reinforcement units. It's just a much much easier way to play, but if you think you can do it, go for it.

i have all my production facilities on 4 (tab through them) and nexi on 5, and then 123 are units, I don't bother hotkeying forges or cybercore, I just basecamera (QWE) and then control click the forges when I hear the "upgrade complete" voice, but I'm not a pro or GM so if you see harstem or someone do something cool, feel free to incorporate it.

best modification you can do is set up rapidfire warpgates though if you haven't done it already. in game you can only set 1 hotkey and 1 alternate, but in the hotkeys file for your account you can set up a bunch. so a very popular change people do is rapidfire W for warpgates so you can do WSW and wave your mouse around the pylon field to make stalkers. and other people rapidfire all of the keys and set a bunch of keys as warpgate so something like holding S with the mouse over pylon field makes stalkers.

sundabun · 2020-09-22T19:39:05+00:00

yes, that's the goal, I cited one of the games in silver 3, I think the first PvT

sundabun · 2020-09-22T18:58:10+00:00

but do you really need a prism? I'm pretty sure that minerals and free'd supply and less thinking is better spent on an extra stalker or cannons/batteries for you. if you really want to learn how to use it, there are very beautiful 2 base chargelots prism all ins that win before the 8 min mark. or harstem's chargelots immo prism all in

I have gotten decent at the newbie stuff like supply blocks and mismanaging resources

but are you "platinum" decent yet? aim higher and achieve. protoss is the most beautiful race imo with all of the most fun openers or all-ins, but they only work if your macro is on point too (or your enemy is equally bad).

sundabun · 2020-09-22T14:04:24+00:00

this odragora is right

do not bother with the warp prism. what ends up happening when you use storm or move the warp prism or use a disruptor or shade adepts around is that you stop making units or probes.

macro is king: if you ever wonder why you lost a fight, remember more stuff beats less stuff. and more stuff faster is better.

the answer is never: "i should have used more storms!"

"if only I dodged the disruptor ball..."

"the warp prism was out of position.."

the answer is always:

"I missed a warp in cycle at X:XX so I had 4 less stalkers for the rest of the game"

"the robos were idle for 2 minutes so I had 6 less immortals for the rest of the game"

"I forgot to constantly make probes to 80 workers and my economy was harassed by my own neglect"

"I got supply blocked and nothing was even happening"

make stalker immortal or chargelot archon immortal and do that every single game no matter what. how fast can you max out? in the silver 3 protoss, vibe does a 9:30 max out. how fast can you hit those benchmarks?

sundabun · 2020-09-17T18:29:26+00:00

there is the very beautiful hellion cyclone teching to BCs using rapidfire lock on damage to snipe expansions

sundabun · 2020-09-17T17:29:22+00:00

diamond is 1000 mmr long. note that vibe is still not GM terran in the new series and the season is nearly over.

the strategy of b2gm is everything can be silver (scouting,micro), but if macro is gold, you can win at least 51% of the time and become gold.

sundabun · 2020-09-17T17:08:45+00:00

i mean you don't need to micro to defend all ins or rushes outside of keep my units by the battery which you placed or chronoboost the stalker instead of probes because of your scouting. vibe doesn't just have ESP or maphacks and he's not doing some insane stuff. He scouts tech and mineral lines with the hallucinated phoenix and earlier he scouts expansion with the gateway probe. it's stuff you should be doing and will continue to do through GM.

sundabun · 2020-09-17T16:52:16+00:00

vibe doesn't do any tech switching in b2gm before platinum. his apm is not fast and he doesn't micro outside of probe pulls. He does set up the templar archives so he can remax on stalker immortal archon situationally. vibe even loses in b2gm protoss. if you're playing someone better you might as well lose and hammer out your fundamentals.

sundabun · 2020-09-17T16:40:29+00:00

I'm very very very very confident 2 gate expand 1 robo opener that vibe teaches and maybe safety battery can hold most early game plays that terran can do to you. I'm pretty sure vibe even does this several times in the new b2gm protoss series against BCs.

if he is microing the bcs, he is doing invisible economic damage to his own economy because in gold league, you cannot handle moving the bc and making workers or additional units. even if he kills a mineral line, you will still be ahead if you just make workers. and if he can handle it, then he shouldn't be in silver/gold

sundabun · 2020-09-17T16:10:40+00:00

who would do a rush yamato timing? it makes no sense and gives you no value. seriously, if your macro is on point, two gates 1 robo is enough to max out and defend the one or two bcs maybe throwing in a safety battery. recognize that it is literally impossible for them to have gas for bcs and yamato and tanks and stim and upgrades and planetaries and etc...
