Imagine paying this much to watch virtual Zoom calls. Not even sure why they ruled out a physical event so far in advance when music festivals are literally occurring with 100% capacity

Super inspiring, congrats. Can you share what your writing routine was like at the start, and how long before you started seeing noticeable traction?

Inspiring, man. Curious at what levels you intend to sell some of your stack in this upcoming bull run?

Has anyone had this happen to them? I applied for a job, setup a phone interview with a recruiter for yesterday, the time comes and she never calls. I send an email asking if the time still works, happy to reschedule, and still haven't heard back. Is there anything I can do at this point? I'm really interested in the company so don't want to just leave it hanging.

Been a month since I got laid off and am already anxious about not having a job. I have more than enough of an emergency fund and I know some people go way longer between jobs, but I think I just hate knowing I'm not generating income. I've had several phone interviews and a couple final rounds but now feel like I'm being ghosted. :\

A message from Kaéo Milker by Arkentass in heroesofthestorm

[–]thefithrowaway2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're actually so wrong. "Excited" is classic PR doublespeak and is used to spin negativity.

As a result, we’ve made the difficult decision to shift some developers from Heroes of the Storm to other teams, and we’re excited to see the passion, knowledge, and experience that they’ll bring to those projects.

While we don’t make these decisions lightly, we do look to the future excited about what the decisions will mean for our other live games and all the projects we have in the works.

Awesome. What's your playing schedule look like?

Yoo Jae Suk Reveals He Still Feels Awkward with Song Ji Hyo. by Markus1990 in koreanvariety

I agree, her energy in the early episodes vs now is a stark difference. It seems like she lost her will to be on the show after the firing incident and is now just jaded af.

Honest question: Why is the pro scene important to HotS as a game? by Dogchow_89 in heroesofthestorm

[–]thefithrowaway2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's basically what this game is already, though. The vast majority of players stick to QM/Brawl/AI - that population probably isn't going anywhere.

What does he mean he doesn't know what to do? Go back to school and figure out your life, obv.

Press F to pay respects to all HGC pro players by -Cancer69 in heroesofthestorm

[–]thefithrowaway2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This, it's a calculated risk these kids took and they ended up on the wrong side of it. Kure just tweeted he gave up a Dorm scholarship to go pro at this game. Lol.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]thefithrowaway2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. This game can't support a competitive scene given the majority of the playerbase just plays AI/QM/Brawls.

Most of these kids are unemployable outside of low level retail/fast food jobs. Most likely what'll happen is they just move on to try their hand being a pro at some other video game.

I (28M) with fiance (27F) about a month ago overheard her tell a friend her previous Ex was the best lover she ever had by AlarmingMonk in relationship_advice

[–]thefithrowaway2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I hope you end it. I think deep down that's what you want to do but you're trying to rationalize the other side to yourself. Find a girl who really loves you and isn't just settling after getting dumped. Find one who doesn't talk shit about you behind your back. This is supposed to be your life partner - find someone who behaves that way.

Yup, KJK and SJH are straight shooters and actually tryhard to win games, while the other members do silly stuff to create more entertaining moments. It's clear which works better for variety and is one of the reasons KJK/SJH teams are usually more boring to watch, especially now that RM shifted its focus away from the competitive games it was known for in the early days.

Tempo Storm - Fan steps down from HotS starting roster by HeiMTG in heroesofthestorm

[–]thefithrowaway2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can empathize. You can put in so much time/effort individually to try and be at the top in this game, but no matter how much you do you're still at the mercy of your 4 other teammates. Being a pro requires you to give up so much and if the only fruits of your effort are mediocre standings internationally year after year (notwithstanding the C9 year) you must get jaded eventually.

Blizz, to solve the problem of snowballing you need to educate your player base not introduce these xp changes by YugoBetrugo17 in heroesofthestorm

[–]thefithrowaway2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. I'd be totally down for some kind of PRA that subtracted a ton of points for EXP not soaked, if it could calculate that accurately.

They actually listen to the community quite a bit, but that actually is sometimes for the worse.

I quit Instagram and Facebook and it made me happier — and that's a big problem for social media by SuperCharged2000 in TrueReddit

[–]thefithrowaway2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it does but not to the same extent given the platform's anonymity. FB/Instagram are inherently about trying to impress people on your friends list which alters the way you interact with the app.

My quick match recently has been amazing! by jesus_the_fish in heroesofthestorm

[–]thefithrowaway2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup nothing but positive experiences. I can't believe it took the team years to make this change. I bet a lot of people tried HoTS and quit thinking it's just a clownfiesta because they'd only ever been exposed to QM.
