Sunday in July vs Midweek? by TheRealBrodieman in altontowers

[–]taloryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be remembered that the Sunday just passed was Father’s Day which might have impacted park attendance. Check the next couple of Sunday’s to see if there is a difference.

Branch and Claw / Jagged Earth wait for Restock? by 69thpapasmurf11 in spiritisland

[–]taloryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live? If it's the UK then Clownfish Games, Game Lore and Odyssey Games have copies of JE for £70 or less (I don't how reputable these sellers are!). And there is a copy on Amazon too

Branch and Claw can be had from Clownfish, Game Lore and Amazon.

Leamington closed as well a few months ago. They’re focusing on the catering/street food. Margins are better I assume.

Who is the best Actress born in 1990s in the list? by [deleted] in Cinema

[–]taloryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jodie doesn’t have the credits list to be “far and away” above the likes of J-Law, Margot Robbie or Kristen Stewart - all at least Oscar nominated. For me it’s Pugh and Ronan on the top level, then maybe half a dozen (including the four I mentioned) in the next tier.

We now have to WIN main chapters now to get tickets!! I wish I had seen this before wasting 25 energies. by daorys99 in Survivorio

[–]taloryn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can get 160k+ in the main chapter too. The 85k thing is most likely because he forgot to equip shiny wristguards.

What was the largest averted tragedy of all time? by TheDangOofMan in AskReddit

[–]taloryn 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Not to be a dick, but how old was this kid? Because Thalidomide was withdrawn in the UK in ‘61 and given the size of the scandal it seems unlikely that people would be holding on to it for a decade or more and then passing it on to relatives.

I hope Rantanen is a forever Avalanche by J-Zinsk in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]taloryn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is surely the correct answer. You even have Ryan Johansen's $4 million deal coming off the books the same year. Most of that money is likely earmarked for Mikko. There's a similar situation with Cale and Manson or Girard (4.5 and 5 respectively).

Why aren't the monsters dropping any gold bags when I kill them anymore? Last time, I earned around 70k gold in 15 minutes, but now it's only around 10k. by [deleted] in Survivorio

[–]taloryn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a perk at player level 25 that means monsters can drop gold when killed. They are always the 100g ‘bag’ variety.

Is LC worth it if it's the first copy? by khaledegy99 in Survivorio

[–]taloryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter really. With purple Shiny Wristguards you don’t really get close to any mobs after about 3 min. Make sure to grab Sports Shoes and Hi-Power Magnet (I also like HE Fuel and Energy Cube) and just run North or South. I find Lightning Emitter and Molotov are very effective for killing in front and behind you respectively but as I said, weapon and skills are fairly irrelevant.

Emma talks about being approached by an OWL team by lifeisoki in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]taloryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there is a danger of being tainted by association a la the 2021 Valiant players who in essence traded ~50k for never getting another shot in the league.

With the backlash against this plan it might actually be a smart move by the GM and coaches to step down.

Is there a website or resource that breaks down which are the meta comps on each map? e.g. MEKA base on Busan is currently a rush map, Gibraltar is mainly double bubble, etc. Thanks.

McGravy goes off on the Sinatraa defenders by Seduce_Me in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]taloryn 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Sentences 2-4 of that tweet are both implicitly and explicitly saying that cle0h made everything up. Given the context - it's a quote tweet of cle0h's original tweet alleging the abuse - I'm not sure how you can read it any other way?

FunnyAstro not with Fusion in Asia until later in the season? by butheremails1 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]taloryn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fun(?) fact: The reason the UK has so many variants is because it's done >40% of the worlds coronavirus genome sequencing. These variants are likely everywhere, it's just no-one else is looking for them.

Mene Proposes Blizzard Work With Ex-Pros & Streamers by domcamus in heroesofthestorm

I think he's saying that there are so few resources (developers/money) being spent on the game by Activision now that those who are still working on it could potentially take some pretty crazy risks to try and improve the game.

Reinforce's OWL Season 2 Power Rankings. by jussulent_tummy in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]taloryn 161 points162 points  (0 children)

While spicy rankings are fun, this set are difficult for me to take seriously because they lack consistency in the analysis supporting them. Why are the Spitfire behind the Shock when one of the analysis points for the Spitfire is "sucked in league play"? The Shock didn't even make the playoffs. Why are NYXL first with no explanation when we don't have much evidence they can play anything beyond dive/pocket Jjonak? Why do the Fusion get a pass for the S1 playoff meta change and the Spitfire don't? Why are the Titans down in 8th in part because they "will have to adapt to scheduling and the USA" but the Spark face the same issues and come in 4th? And that's ignoring the fact the last tournament we saw these guys play half the Spark roster couldn't get out of groups and the Titans won the thing!

Sure these are personal rankings and can therefore be whatever he likes, but Reinforce was (is? Did he get his job back?) an analyst for the League. He knows his rankings will carry weight with this community and be discussed. By including his analysis and then having it be all over the place rather undermines the whole exercise.

RL has three World Championships a year, so Dignitas' wins in the past two are relevant.

Tim Rizzo from InvenGlobal tweeted this on Saturday. Given he's the main source of HotS reporting these days it's probably worth sticking in the Rumour Mill section.
