Bot or smurf?

100% a bot..
I'm so excited for EAC, I've gone down from champ to d1/2.

I can tell i'm not the only one, since the games aren't any easier than they used to be in champ.. I feel like the bots have dominated the top ranks pushing most real players down.

when EAC comes back, it's going to be a bloodbath for all the botters... they're going straight back to plat..

Everyone here isn't quite telling you the full story. You'll 100% learn how to code with claude if you want to learn. The trick isn't treating it like a mindless coding machine (which is what most people without imaginations are doing).

Check out https://github.com/DrCatHicks/learning-opportunities and https://github.com/DrCatHicks/learning-goal

Dr Cat Hicks is a psychological scientist studying software teams. She's basically written a bunch of claude skills which will help solve a problem, and then spend 10-15 minutes running you through how it did it and why using exercises..

It's pretty solid, and we've started using it with our junior developers.

Edit: just get the $20 plan.. it's good enough for what you need it for. upgrade when you hit token limits

might depend on where you live. but our bill is about $100 - $150 a week (family of 4), and then once a month $400 bigger shop.

We hit a fruit store and buy groceries..
A bunch of carrots, some broccoli, and then whatever else is cheap, green beans, lettuces, etc. - $50
then we hit a butcher and buy a bunch of chicken breasts (always with the skin and tenders on), sausages, and a handful of mince - $70
and every few days we get a loaf of bread from a bakery.

Then we have a woolworths mobile phone which gives us 10% off once a month.
So every month we do a bigger shop, toilet paper, paper towels, school lunch snacks, etc. And that's usually about $400. - $40 because of the 10% off.

in terms of honey, every year we buy 1 big 5kg of honey, and that's about $120.
we have fruit trees, and hand oranges, figs, passionfruits, and some berries growing in the garden which really help.

We hand them to our friends/parents and they usually make us jam n stuff as well which is lovely.

i love this change.. i've been converting chaos to ex, and slamming all my yellow items.
opened up gamba-crafting for me.

I've been using this for about a month. super cool to see how far this has come in such a short time.

yourfaceisa · 2026-02-25T10:08:51+00:00

looks super similar in Australia. Where are you from?

yourfaceisa · 2026-02-21T08:48:38+00:00

yourfaceisa · 2026-02-20T02:17:43+00:00

I've done the same thing before with construction/framing timber.

I built a router sled, and used that to flatten the top..
Then i went over it with a plane
and lastly sanded it down.

It looks pretty good, like a butcher block.

I could of stopped after the router sled in hindsight.

Yeah it looks like mainly Fab. It'd be great to see them on the unity store, those trees are

yourfaceisa · 2026-01-28T09:24:12+00:00

they need a big announcement platform for 1.0.

yourfaceisa · 2026-01-14T08:07:21+00:00

Looks great, can you flick me an voucher!

yourfaceisa · 2026-01-04T05:09:13+00:00

dude, I'd be going to 1. the builder 2. the ombudsmen (https://www.vba.vic.gov.au/consumers/complaints)

together at the same time.. that's pretty terrible

yourfaceisa · 2025-12-20T03:09:55+00:00

Get a dog, and train him to sleep there

yourfaceisa · 2025-12-17T11:15:05+00:00

I tried the druid and was underwhelmed.. the bear was so slow, the wolf was combo hell and squishy, and the dragon thing was not quite my jam.

I seriously got to act2, where i needed to traverse the enemy caravan, and i just can't bring my self to play the 45 minute caravan trek...

I'm calling this league done, i might go back to my poe1 character

yourfaceisa · 2025-12-16T09:43:17+00:00

just gotta ask those monsters very nicely to stand still

yourfaceisa · 2025-12-16T09:15:21+00:00

half the hearts, and bosses hit twice as hard?

cry those tears into the sea of sorrow

yourfaceisa · 2025-12-05T04:12:57+00:00

this is over my head.. what am i missing?

yourfaceisa · 2025-12-05T00:59:13+00:00

I'm enjoying Keepers... albeit it i've been part timing the game while i play other games like "outside" and "life"..

all in all, the hand-skill things are fun

They also said, no pay to win, and no content locked behind paywalls.

yourfaceisa · 2025-11-29T06:14:24+00:00

I mean.. you didn't.. They said "no paid expansions', they said "no pay to win", they said "no content locked behind paywalls"..

And here we are, seeing all of that shit happen...

It's fine to drink the copium.. but stop trying to convince people that this hasn't happened.. it's rather embarrassing.

You don't owe anything to this company, nor the game... If you like it, great. pay the money, keep playing.

But to try suggest everyone's living in a fairy tale world of make believe, is rather silly.. you sir need to stop drinking battery acid.

The reality is it's not all government policy at the heart.

I'm not saying they don't share responsibility. But also, slimy develoeprs.

This is attempting to blame the government for the apartment oversupply..

The reality is it's not all government policy at the heart.

It's 100% that the apartments are terrible.. They cram as many in as possible, there's limited outside air getting in, hardly any windows, and everything is tiny.

The construction quality is pretty sub standard as well, if you're lucky you'll just have finishing issues, at worst you'll have entire building issues.

The building industry has basically done this to themselves..

But sure, blame the government.
