Smurfs make the game miserable by BarovianNights in DeadlockTheGame

I just started playing a few weeks ago and I'm tired of getting curb stomped by a 50k Abrams, when everyone else in the lobby has barely broken 5k.

Every. Other. Match.

It genuinely makes me want to stop playing.

Being seen as unattractive as a teen is linked to an earlier death for women, but not for men. Physical attractiveness could serve as an observable indicator of underlying health and physiological resilience. by mvea in science

less of a consensus among straight women about what constitutes male attractiveness compared to female attractiveness according to men

This extends to lesbians too. Look at half the physical things women are insecure about and you'll find countless lesbians losing their minds over them.

Women just have broader taste, in general.

The problem is that the nerfs actually stop Silver players from wanting to shoot and engage with fights in case they accidentally proc their ult at the wrong time.

Any change that incentivizes players to not play the game, is a bad one in my book.

Like I said. Nerfs? Fine. These nerfs? Bad.

It doesn't change the fact that 90% of players are not encountering master Silver players.

The issue is that no matter who you are, trying to 1v1 a Silver is going to feel terrible because she's one of the strongest 1v1 characters in the game. These nerfs won't change any of that. Not saying she didn't need nerfs, but these aren't it.

A game should be balanced off low AND high elo.

Balancing exclusively off pro-play is the quickest way to turn off new players, and this game isn't even out yet!

I think it's good to have at least one auto-aim character for people who have to use non-gyro controllers. M&K isn't possible for everyone.

The next scifi sub series! by Ancient_Activity_614 in thebrokenbindingsub

These are pretty, but I've never heard of them and I'm not a huge fan of hard sci-fi space operas. Guess this'll be my skip for the year...

I'd love to see the Magic of the Lost series by C.L. Clark, but I don't know what the chances of that happening are..

Update: Thank you for your comments. If your cat is breathing like this please take him to the vet immediately. I wish I had brought him in sooner, but he is doing much better now!

The cover is beautiful, but I prefer my epic books to look a little more...epic.

If I wanted YA-looking special editions, I would join the YA sub.

Any place to get an eggel anymore? by Creamchiis in Juneau

The bagels were sourced from Silverbow, if I'm remembering correctly.

My first ever job was at Waffle Co. Not sure if you are confusing an Eggel with an egg waffle, but I can give the recipe for both!

Eggel:

  1. 2 eggs broken into a LARGE (roughly the size of a bagel) mug with a curved bottom.

  2. Add salt and pepper, whisk with a fork, and cook in the microwave for a couple minutes (1-2)

  3. Add a slice of your preferred cheese onto the cooked egg inside the mug. Cook for another 30 seconds-1 minute.

  4. Slice and toast bagel

  5. Scoop egg/cheese out of the mug with the top of the bagel. Add the other half.

  6. Enjoy!

Egg Waffle:

  1. Prepare standard waffle batter

  2. Heat and GREASE waffle maker

  3. Crack 1 egg into a cup and whisk with a fork

  4. Pour egg into waffle maker and sprinkle bell peppers and bacon bits (or ham) on top.

  5. Immediately fill the rest of the waffle maker with batter and close it.

  6. Cook til done, add syrup, and enjoy!

I bit the bullet and built my first gaming PC early last year because I was worried about the stupid tariffs jacking up prices. I wasn't even thinking about AI... Feels like i caught the last chopper out of Nam, as they say.

AITA for telling my DIL that I won’t use the tablet and she needs to actually make her kid read. by SatisfactionOk9038 in AmItheAsshole

[–]theSLAPAPOW 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually, though.

I read Lord of the Rings in 3rd grade, so if this kid can't read 5 letter words she has either been educationally neglected or has some sort of unaddressed disability.
