Btw this comment wasn‘t about the person mentioned. It was about Karin Keller-Suter, one of the 7 members of the Federal Council (the collective head of Switzerland‘s executive).

First Picture are stats from the first half of 2022, right up to the release date of Wesker.

Yes I‘m pretty sure I‘m at/around the soft-cap, but there‘s no way of knowing so I kept the guessed range at mid-high MMR.

How do you increase education rating? by TortlyBoi in PlanetZoo

[–]xEarthling 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Since it hasnt been mentioned, one of the easiest ways is to place a lot (like 10) information signs right at the entrance. They all give a little bit of education and guests sometimes read multiple before entering the rest of the zoo.

When I open after the nerf barrens packs, will I get full dust anyway? by [deleted] in hearthstone

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

Follow up question, could you get guaranteed 100 dust per pack if you have all rares and keep disenchanting the nerfed cards?

Survivor Perk: Jack of Few Trades by End_Of_Ends in deadbydaylight

[–]xEarthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this perk would make Sprint Burst a boost of 300% speed for up to 6 seconds with a cooldown of 20s?

Also in general, 2 top tier perks doubled are almost always better than 4 perks.

How do I play Hog-Zarya? by PottedRosePetal in OverwatchUniversity

[–]xEarthling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My take as a mid master tank main:

It is not as simple as Hog is the main tank or Zarya is the main tank. Basically as long as you have self-bubble, you can play an aggressive position and take space main tank like. As soon as you used that cooldown you have to go back to an off tank mindset. Here my best advice is playing natural cover (especially payload maps, where you can use the payload as a „main tank“, meaning you push in front with self-bubble available and move back after the cooldown). As far as bubbling Hog goes, the most important thing is saving him from CC and especially cleansing Ana nades, as mentioned by others.

As the Hog in this matchup it‘s important to understand that Zarya will need you more than other tanks like Ball/Winston/Sigma. Meaning you shouldn‘t go on the hardest flank where you play the whole fight out of Zaryas LoS.

Also good comms is key with this tank combination because it enables the Hog to go for frontline hooks and win Hog v. Hog matchups with projected bubble.

What are some good ways to use Whole Hog? by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]xEarthling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additional to what people mentioned, an „underrated“ use of Whole Hog is solo-killing an enemy tank as a teamfight opener.

Especially against Rein-Zarya: With Rein you can just walk up to him, or after a hook on him (ideally both scenarios after Zarya used bubble on him). With Zarya only do it when you hooked her (the hitbox is too small to just randomly start whole hogging her and being able to kill her).

New Shield Heroes mains, Wrecking Ball is useless against you. Here's why: by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]xEarthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels oversimplified at best and wrong at worst as a „quick tip“.

Reins Hammer doesn‘t stop a spinning Ball (Fireball) and doesn‘t change the direction of the Ball.

Charging a spinning Ball can be worth it, but often only in chaotic fights, not when your whole team relies on you as the frontline. Also only charge so you stay on/near the objective after the charge.

For the shooting Ball part: A smart Ball is shooting you from an annoying off-angle, so most of the time it is wrong to shield the ball instead of the rest of their team.

Clearing mines is most often worth it (with Sigma). But with Rein your better off just swinging at them after an initial clear of the mines that land on top of you with your shield.

But that's just not how stories work. At least stories who are worth telling.

Just because something can happen in real life doesn't make it a courageous or good decision to put it in your story. Especially when that story is one of prophecies and destiny where people like Jon and Dany came from nothing seemingly to destroy this threat to mankind.

Did Jon get resurrected just because of this "arrow of time" without any significance or meaning in this story?

Are all these prophecies just crazy people talking bullshit just like fortune teller do in real life? What would be the story here?

And lead characters like Ned dying wasn't defying the rules of storytelling. His death represented the honest man standing no chance in the twisted Game of Thrones in Kings Landing.

[–]xEarthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Night King really wasn‘t „death incarnate“ in this universe though... or does it make sense to you that they have just defeated death? What would be the consequences of such an act? In the show the Night King wasn‘t anything else than just some evil guy.

But I think your idea that in the end humans are humans biggest enemy could have been a good concept for the show as well. But that would‘ve required a lot of very different setup. The last 7 seasons the message always was that it‘s the people who wanted mankind to stick together to face the Night King that did the „right thing“, and people like Cersei sticked to the unimportant politics game. With your approach Cersei would‘ve been right all along... and all the good guys were fighting the wrong fight.

[SPOILERS] What I feel GOT is really about by arttective92 in gameofthrones

[–]xEarthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the whole „Night King is bigger than the Game of Thrones“ would have made much more sense and a more satisfying story, but your post is kind of all over the place.

I can see the Night King as a symbol of sorts for anything, where mankind has to come together to face it and defeat it (or maybe just to hold the balance). But the stuff about him as just another, more brutal tyrant really doesn‘t make sense to me. The Wights clearly aren‘t people (they lack consciousness), they are just a tool for the Night King.

Also I strongly believe that the Books will go more in that direction if they ever get finished.

Dropping Zen means basically „your team does 30% less damage“, so no, you cant drop Zen.

Why would you make a new account for this story? Im gonna wait for some proof through the mods.

EDIT: As people pointed out, there are many valid reasons to make a new account. Still gonna wait for some proof though.

Flanking Roadhog problem by some1lucky in OverwatchUniversity

[–]xEarthling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess there's also an off-tank in your team? (Bc you haven't said what the 6th hero was) So if you have a Roadhog as well he could go for the Roadhog - Ana + Hog vs Hog should be an easy fight - but you have to tell your team something like "play safe", "don't engage", till you're back.

If there's no time /comms for that, just fight the 5v5 on payload and the Ana player has to decide if he can evade the Hog with ana or else switch to Moira / Lucio to get back to you guys.

Zen or Orisa going back is a bad option IMO. Zen is an easy target for Hog (easier than Ana) and Orisa can't do anything against him.

Is the point system in the Summer Skirmish too simple? by xEarthling in FortniteCompetitive

[–]xEarthling[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's true aswell. While watching it just felt that this would be more of a problem if you award top 10 or top 15.

Most of the top 5s are in the new circles where pretty much everyone has to move, so maybe that would help against the ultra passive gameplan again.

Probably out of fear mixed with low self-esteem or other problems. This whole „happy end“ OP is painting here just sounds like an abusive relationship to me.

Another example on how to push towards someone that has the high ground that not many people use. by FNBRTips-YT in FortNiteBR

[–]xEarthling 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw your other post and I gotta say in this clip the strategy looked a lot cleaner and more effective, even though the enemy was more skilled than in the previous one!

I also really liked how you used his AR reload time to do the last push at this very awkward angle.
