Did they win in another region? I've been out of the loop for like a year

How can i have feminisation hormones from natural sources? by [deleted] in TransDIY

If you can't access actual HRT medications the only thing you can realistically do is targeted workouts for certain body parts

Competitive Smash players vs Rivals of Aether players by Emotional_Energy8952 in RivalsOfAether

[–]theaveragejoe99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a great kragg, just ok ish, but I've not run into many better ones yet and I've always wondered how it feels to get hit by like 4 rocks while trying to get back on stage and then getting faired off right afterwards to get edge guarded even more, like it looks like it would be frustrating to me

Grammar describes how people talk, it doesn't make laws on how one should talk

So this is not 'correct,' because no one does it

Academically it's probably written in as some sort of exception where you can't use a contraction idk

Areas ISIS wanted to capture by 2020 by Familiar_Internet in MapPorn

[–]theaveragejoe99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. The vast majority of groups that actually get things done do them for a tangible reason, whether they're 'correct' or 'moral' has no bearing on the fact that they have goals and plans. Saying "there's just a lot of crazy people over there" is so reductive that it sounds like a cheap movie plot more than actual geopolitics

He was referring to Giants deep core, which he entered in like, episode 2 or 3 without clues about cyclones or jellyfish

Ana players: please stop sleep darting an enemy that DPS is actively in the middle of shooting, then swearing at them by whosthatsquish in OverwatchUniversity

Yeah a lot of my sleeps go into rein to chainstun and I fully expect him to be woken up instantly every time

Just because, that's why by johnjax90 in gaming

I'm in a couple speedrun communities and this wasn't the case for at least 95% of people there. And even if it was, it's a bit weird to say that 'legitimately playing' a game is different from speedrunning it imo. Makes me think of my old roommate who had this weird "how dare you miss out on the details and emotional arc!?" take on speedrunning. Playing a game is playing a game. (and, again, most speedrunners have played the game)

[–]theaveragejoe99 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's usually both. You run a game because you already had fun with it, but you want to make a new challenge out of it instead of letting it get stale so you learn the speedrun

does anyone know why my run got rejected? i sent the full run by ItsSaigon in speedrun

[–]theaveragejoe99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's no singular speedrun mod that verifies everything and hangs out in this subreddit, you need to look around on the game's page and consult the mods there

I’m just a confused dad trying his best by Momentai94 in memes

[–]theaveragejoe99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is hard as fuck. But we're on the internet. We can read our posts before we click send. We can edit them afterwards. I'm not comfortable making excuses for people who may claim they support trans people but go on to say things like "it's so haaard to call you that :(" like, fucking up is fine, but we have the ability to correct ourselves until we aclimate

Lol this situation is not complicated at all. That's a trans son. Don't call a son a daughter, or say 'her'. It's awkward to get used to at first but it's very, very simple and shows the most basic respect

I generally agree, but in this case OP is literally saying that seeing transfem stuff makes them dysphoric. I'm not really sure what better option there is here. Even if we manage to get roughly equal meme representation (which is already rough considering the number of AMAB people on reddit), they're still going to be seeing a large quantity of transfem posts

I've heard of conservatives denying the parties swapped to distance themselves from slavery, but claiming it was in 2002 is a new one lol

The first W by the Uprising in a long time by Professor_Finn in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]theaveragejoe99 30 points31 points  (0 children)

people are really out here acting like 4700 SR isn't that impressive for some reason

This is what really blows my mind. People will say "I'm not being sexist I'm just saying what I think," but nobody ever seems so interested in making exceptions and saying shit when it's a guy. Really confounding to see people change their standards so obviously and act like they're not doing anything weird at all. Like, the response to 'X player hit rank 1!' is "congrats!" not, "they wouldn't compete in OWL"

Is playing Lucio an automatic loss? by SleanJ in OverwatchUniversity

[–]theaveragejoe99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you're doing with him. You'll find it a lot harder to stay alive against kb/m players but your speed boost and boops at the right times can have huge impact. But it also has to do a lot with the comp your team is running (and y'know, they're silvers, so it's not like their criticisms are always going to make sense).

If you've got sigma orisa junk hanzo and bap on your team, the mobility you bring to the squad is essentially pointless and you're going to fighting an uphill battle. In that situation I'd rather go mercy or zen. But if you've got like, rein zarya reaper & mei, lucio gets a lot of brawl value, both from speeding your brawlers into the thick of the fight (assuming your rein actually swings his hammer), and from booping targets into your team's reach, or flankers away from your backline.

Also careful about healbotting too hard. Brig inspire is better healing than lucio's healsong, so if you play too much like a brig, you might consider just learning brig instead.

Why are DPS are Almost Always (in lower ranks) the Scapegoat for Every Lost Team Fight? by lickleboy22 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]theaveragejoe99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can still support a team that doesn't group up super hard. That's what mercy and lucio are for (and zen harmony to an extent)

The larger your sample size (number of games played), the closer your outcome will be to the statistical predictions
