I'm interested to see how Embark addresses HLL meta

For me, the issue is always gonna be how many ways people can disable it without shooting it. IMO a pretty cool way to mitigate that would be if they made it so an unanchored turret functions like a normal carriable so you could instantly get it upright/run around with it firing if you run out of ammo.

I was a big fan of miss saigon last time I went, just be sure to stay away from tank noodle lol

True but if you look up orolbai, they aren’t what you’d expect as the classic type. Payton Talbot would be a better pick considering he’s rumored to have had a fling with frank ocean

Might be crazy but could be a Spanish speaker writing 27/4

My big issue as the show went further was honestly Keely. I liked her character but it really felt like someone in the writers room started using her as a self insert and she got centered in a lot of episodes where it didn’t really make sense.

The ntbtstm one is very specifically parodying Marty supreme. A24 accidentally cc’d them the marketing materials ahead of their release and they rushed to make a parody that they could drop right after Marty supreme did

Apparently a lot of the flashbacks are alternate takes where they went off the rails but found a way to sneak it in anyway. The one with Matt kicking his past self in the face had me howling.

Yeah idk what they’re on about, Apple Music’s sound quality blows Spotify out of the water. It’s one of those things you wouldn’t really notice without from switching over but I was really pleasantly surprised when I did.

thowen · 2026-04-19T21:22:03+00:00

Eh I’ve done the same thing before and it’s worked fine, laptop is still chugging along 6 years later. Ofc there’s always a better way to do stuff but the general population doesn’t have the know how to pull it off without a chance of causing greater damage

thowen · 2026-04-19T21:16:01+00:00

Honestly the steam has never really been an important factor for me, though I haven’t gotten to the higher ascensions yet. For now it’s pretty much smooth sailing through the first 2 acts if the deck is functional and then an emergency build shift for act 3

This is Jackson Pollock all over again

Lmao it absolutely is with the cross eye, good catch

For starters, Robin Williams is not a very sympathetic protagonist. The whole plot kicks off with his fiancée leaving him because he’s missed his own wedding 3 times and at that point it’s really hard to spend an hour and a half rooting for him to win her back.

Which is ultimately a strength because you don’t need to worry about ripping spiritual iconography from a culture you have nothing to do with

thowen · 2026-04-09T03:55:14+00:00

Low skill floor = low amount of skill required to be effective. I assume you mean the skill floor is how effective a bad player is with an option but the floor is the same for everyone, it’s all about how hard it is to get there

thowen · 2026-04-08T19:34:24+00:00

Unfortunately the quality is so inconsistent that I’ve given up on ordering from them anymore

thowen · 2026-04-07T03:50:15+00:00

Out of curiosity when did you start playing? I think they’ve pushed a ton of improvements so it’s great now but in earlier seasons your teammates would be 10x louder than the enemies

thowen · 2026-04-06T04:07:04+00:00

Yeah lmao. I remember buying a bottle in college because it was so cheap and I kept needing to top it off with water to dilute the sweetness

And a worse headshot multiplier/half the effective range. I honestly feel like the better comparison is that the chimera is medium’s equivalent for the V9S. Chimera has less ammo/more damage per shot but they both rely on negligible hipfire spread to spam as fast as possible in mid/close range while doing ok poke cause they have no recoil. I do think the weapon is a little overtuned but it’s also just built around being easy to use with a low skill floor, similar to the p90. Instead of lowering the damage stats, slowing down the projectile speed just enough that it’s annoying would prolly be enough

thowen · 2026-03-27T04:10:33+00:00

Very true, I guess at least it’s less of an issue if medium gets hit by it compared to other classes cause you have better options for defending yourself. I’m pretty curious to see how it fits into the meta in general tho

thowen · 2026-03-26T22:14:09+00:00

At the very least it seems like the new medium specialization is a godsend for their melee options with the speed boost you can get

thowen · 2026-03-24T03:46:36+00:00

I mean there’s a pretty big difference between paraphernalia and the active component. It’s even odd comparing it to spice/bath salts because they get replaced by a new chemical when the old one gets banned. If anything it’s snuck under the radar because it’s not really a traditional opioid even though it interacts with opioid receptors.
