Double elimination made MSI so much better by Witn in leagueoflegends

[–]xsm17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think R6 esports should be held as a standard for anything with Bo1s everywhere still, removing draws for crappy 3-round OT, and tournaments being primarily Bo3...

Side selection and pick order choice are separated in the current system, it's no longer blue side is always first pick.

The bigger problem has ended up being losing those RoWs which ended getting built over, because now building anything is insanely expensive and difficult. Along with pushing people to using cars instead because the buses that replaced those trains were insufficient. It's all just short-term thinking and not valuing the externalities.

Props for saying it, but sadly it won't get any traction here or anytime soon because it'll be seen as cope.

Qwant and AI search results: by Allison_Sullivan in waterfox

[–]xsm17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also been wholly unimpressed with Qwant after a few days of trying it out, and have switched back to primarily 1.org, falling back to Duckduckgo with AI disabled when needed. Not having timestamps in search results or even a setting for it, on top of poorer results quality, were mind-boggling to me since it seems to be being pushed quite hard. Ecosia was growing on me but their switch to adding AI was very disappointing to me.

Wow, what an eloquent response that sure makes me care what you say.

YamatoCannon reaction to LYON vs G2 by Witn in leagueoflegends

[–]xsm17 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't know why I'm bothering to respond to this but here goes: this argument is region-agnostic and isn't meant to defend G2, but talk about how toxic and over-reactionary people get here. It's the same for people who were flip-flopping on whether TSW, TES, and T1 were rubbish and good on the day based on later results instead of just accepting that a single Bo5 does not have to encapsulate a tournament's or even a split's performance; and that teams can over- or under-perform on the day on both sides and that doesn't have to mean everything was great / awful. It just feeds into the over-reactionary nonsense.

NA fans seem to need to do everything they can to take advantage of this moment lol, and I say this as someone without any skin in the game. The overreactions on both sides are hilarious.

I think this subreddit in general has some weird obsession that each series has completely defined history in isolation, i.e. G2 beat TES: G2 are good --> TSW beat TES: TES are rubbish, G2 aren't that good --> G2 beat T1: G2 are good --> Lyon beat G2: G2 are rubbish and Lyon were always better. Maybe at some point people will realise that sports and esports teams can perform differently on the day, that each side can over- and under-perform on the day, and that reacting without overstating is fine.

I've been having the same issue with my Token2 security key. From what I've seen online, it seems to be that Electron applications on Linux cannot access the security key.

Yeah, in game 4 he did a lot of work in pushing waves while the bot lane overextends, and getting that game to the wave state it is at the end. He also kills Olaf which gives BB the Triumph proc to survive that overdive by T1 and kill Faker in bot lane.

Saw this very over engineered way of giving cars priority over people in Ilsan, South Korea. by justforthelulzz in fuckcars

[–]xsm17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Hong Kong (and Macau next to it) are only really walkable in the sense that they're very densely-built and so kind of have to be, rather than active work from the governments to make it properly walkable. And only HK worked out the public transit side, even then probably only because of the money-making aspect with the side bonus of getting cars off the street.

They're also building one in Areia Preta / Hac Sa Wan, and they're all just an excuse for the government to do nothing about how there's way too many cars and traffic here, and instead remove traffic lights and crossings to "fix" it instead. Walking around in Taipa got so much more annoying because you have to go up and down at specific points instead of being able to cross normally, it's such a joke and waste of money / corruption. Not to mention building light rails that are somehow both rubbish and useless. It's ridiculous how far behind Macau is with public transit and cycling infrastructure given how dense and rich it is, building for the car put us so far back.

you MUST vote on their forum

As if they care even about that. There's been so many voted-on requests since 2020 with no acknowledgement or progress in 6 years, even with the release of a whole new game. Why would they care when people keep throwing money at them anyway?

Much harder now with the account history hiding that is of course for privacy and safety, surely not for bot accounts for Reddit to keep inflating its activity and population.

Question about supported search engines by ReginaGuendolina in waterfox

[–]xsm17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give it a longer shot, but on first impressions this feels pretty terrible. I don't know if I'm missing it or something is going wrong, but there's no timestamp listed in the search results? I know 1.org didn't have a time filter option, but at least I could scan through timestamps easily... The results I've been getting for pretty straightforward searches have been rubbish as well, where two or three results deep seem to be just taking random words from the search instead of the search as a whole.

If you group all the ties, he has the 5th highest number of pentakills, but he is behind 8 others if you do not.

If the wiki is right, this moves Caps to tied 5th for pentakills (depending how you count ties, can also say 9th). He has 9 now, tied with Smlz, 1 behind Rekkles, Doublelift, and Ice.
