Feel free to **[message us]( Happy CMVing!*\\n\\nPost: When I say \\\"intimate relationships\\\", I'm referring specifically to romantic/sexual relationships, friendships, and to a lesser extent, family relationships. We seem to believe that those relationships are important, to the point where, when a couple breaks up or divorces or when two friends get into a fight or when a loved one dies, we consider it a huge loss. But I think that's wrong. \\n We often say that our society is overly consumerist and materialistic. We criticize people for caring so much about material possessions, wealth, entertainment, fashion, and celebrities. We consider those things to be distractions from important issues - opiates of the masses, to borrow a phrase. By contrast, we consider it okay to care about relationships, love, friendship, sex, and intimacy, and it shows. These things are nearly ubiquitous themes in literature, art, film, television, and music. You open any newspaper or magazine and there will be some \\\"Dear Abby\\\" type expert who will give you advice on these things, not to mention endless articles on intimate relationship tips (\\\"10 tips for a healthier marriage\\\", etc.). There are even scientists, who are paid with taxpayer money, who actually do research into these relationships (I guess curing AIDS isn't as important anymore). We even offer certain legal and financial benefits to certain coulpes in the form of marriage. It's obvious that society - especially western, developed society - elevates intimate relationships to a level above the distractions I mentioned earlier. \\n I, however, don't see much of a difference between these relationships and the distractions I mentioned. I don't understand why it's okay to be upset when your friend, say, moves away but it's not okay to be equally upset if your favorite team loses the Super Bowl. I don't understand why it's okay to cry if/when your SO leaves you but it's not okay to cry just as much if/when your favorite TV show gets cancelled. Because at the end of the day, both intimate relationships and the distractions I mentioned are just things we do do keep us entertained, busy, and happy. They raise our endorphin levels. They're things we do when we're bored. They're things we do for fun. So why are intimate relationships considered more \\\"valuable\\\" than the other things I mentioned? Why is it, that when people talk about what Kim Kardashian tweeted, we think they're wasting their time, but when someone sets up a dating profile or goes to a movie with a friend, we think it's totally cool? Why is it that, when people line spend x amount of time, energy, money on following sports, we think they're crazy or stupid, but when they spend even more time cultivating these relationships I'm talking about, we think it's okay? \\n In a sense, we kind of already subconsciously view these relationships as entertainment because we tend to differentiate between these relationships. For example, we treat the relationship between frat bros who spend all their time smoking weed, getting drunk, and trying to get laid as a shallow, meaningless relationship - fun. By contrast, we treat a real, serious, deep friendship between two people - forged, tested, and tried over the years - as a \\\"real\\\" friendship, sort of like Turk and JD. As another example, we realize that a casual fling between two people is just that - casual fun. However, we afford a certain respect to a long, committed, multi-year or multi-decade relationship and call it \\\"true love\\\". When two drunken college students in Cancun hook up in a porta-potty, we know that it's just something they're doing to derive some cheap physical pleasure, and we treat that differently than two people who genuinely love each other making love. My point is that we already accept that certain relationships are entertainment (and therefore no different than fashion, celebrity culture, etc.) , and we treat others as though they're different. My point is that there is no difference.\",\n \"Summary: If a men's \\\"issue\\\" doesn't directly or indirectly affect women, it's not something feminists need to worry about. Take care of your own gender. We'll take care of ours.\\n\\nPost: Over the last year or so, I've done a lot of reading on Reddit about women's issues, gender issues, feminism, and so on and I've really learned a lot. I never really realized the types of things women have to deal with, whether it's sexual assault, sexual harassment, unequal pay, you name it. I really think feminism has done a lot of good for women/girls worldwide and continues to do so, and I commend feminists for that. I even do my part by generally avoiding women in social situations and primarily associating with guys. \\n But one thing that pisses me off is when feminists try to deal with men's \\\"issues\\\". MRA's will consistently bring up stuff like male \\\"rape\\\" (is that like male pregnancy?) or male suicide rates (conveniently ignoring the fact that women attempt suicide at higher rates but succeed less often). And what infuriates me is when feminists actually humor those dumbasses. Seriously, feminists need to wise up and stop humoring MRA's. Men have \\\"issues\\\" the same way Bill Gates has \\\"financial problems\\\". \\n Besides, even if men did have issues, it's none of feminists' business. Feminism teaches a lot about how men should treat women and how women should treat each other. And I agree with it. Men shouldn't harass women. Men shouldn't rape women. Men shouldn't place unrealistic beauty standards on women. \\n But what goes on within the male gender and how the male gender should expect to be treated is none of their fucking business. Don't tell men how to treat each other. Don't tell us this bullshit about how it's okay to be fat or how it's okay to cry. We don't think it's okay for men to cry. That's all that matters. How a father treats his daughter is feminists' business. How a father teaches his son about how to treat women is feminists' business (I'm keeping it simple. If I ever have a son, I'm telling him to never make friends with a girl or date one until I say so.). How a father treats his son is none of feminists' business.\",\n \"Summary: I want friendship, love, sex, romance, and intimacy but I feel wrong for wanting those things. When I bring this up with others, the response I get implies that I want those things for the wrong reasons or that I only think I want those things.\\n\\nPost: I'm a lonely guy. I'll put it out there. I have a few friends, but not much emotional intimacy in my life. Not many close friendships or connections. I've never so much as kissed a girl or gone on a date. I don't have a social life. I live with my parents and I'm incredibly lonely. I deal with depression and anxiety...a lot. Like, they basically run my life. I often say depression and anxiety are my two closest friends. \\n I often hear a lot about how, in today's world, we often value people based on whether or not there's single or how many people they've had sex with or how many friends they have, and that that's wrong. Often, when I say that I'm lonely, I hear \\\"There's nothing wrong with being single!\\\" or \\\"There's nothing wrong with being a virgin at your age!\\\" or \\\"Lots of people don't have friends\\\". \\n The message that I seem to be getting is that I should be happy with where I am. That the only reason I want these things (friends, romance, sex) is to impress other people or so I can improve my sense of self-worth (the same way some people tie their sense of self-worth to, say, how their favorite sports team performs or the price of their car). I get the sense that people (on Reddit and IRL) seem to think that the only reason I want these things is because I don't want others to think badly of me. \\n Look. I don't give a fuck what others think. I remember, a few months ago, I was hanging out with some people who have active social, romantic, and sex lives. I consider them friends, and they're nice people, but I remember one of them asked (in front of about 3 or 4 other people) how many people I had had sex with. I was coy with my response (I said log(1)) and left them to figure it out. But I honestly don't care what others think. \\n I don't want friendship, romance, love, and sex to impress others. I want those things for myself. I want those things because I think they'll make my life better. Because I want to experience those things. I want friends to call me up and ask me to hang out. I want friends who will let me share my feelings with them and who will share their feelings with me. I want a partner who I can hug, kiss, love, cuddle with, and make love to. I want to experience sex. I don't want any of these things so I can impress others or so that \\\"society\\\" can look favorably on me. I want them for myself. \\n Is that wrong?\",\n \"Summary: I want to start dating, and even though I'm pretty sure I'm a decent guy, I'm afraid I may actually subconsciously be creepy/sexist/a \\\"nice guy\\\" without knowing it. How can I get over this fear?\\n\\nPost: So, full disclosure, I've never so much as kissed a girl, been on a date, been in a romantic relationship, or had sex. But I want to start dating.

A few inappropriate jokes in my more socially-awkward high school yearsStill, I try to monitor my own thoughts, words, actions, etc. as much as possible. \\n I still can't help but feel, however, that merely wanting romance or sex with a woman is sexist or misogynist of me. And I'm afraid of what lies beneath. For example, I've never pulled the whole \\\"nice guy\\\" routine. But I'm afraid that, deep down inside, there actually is a lurking \\\"nice guy\\\" that I'm not aware of.

Or maybe, during a date, I'll make her feel scared or creeped out without realizing it. \\n What's weird is that talking to girls isn't really an issue for me. But I feel like being attracted to them or wanting to date them or have sex with them is wrong. For example, I feel like setting up a dating profile and actually asking a girl who I find attractive out on a date would be wrong. \\n So, is there any advice anyone here has on how to overcome this anxiety?

If my team wins, I feel super confident, but if they lose, I feel like garbage.\\n\\nPost: So, I'm a pretty big fan of the pro sports teams I follow. And, as someone with very low self-esteem and self-worth, I tend to tie my identity, self-esteem, and self-worth to how those teams are doing. So if they win, I feel confident and proud. If they lose, I feel like a pathetic loser. The way I see it, I don't have that much going for me, but if I was a fan of a team that succeeds, that would at least reflect well on me. \\n So, if my team wins, I think \\\"hey, I identify with a winner, which will make people like me and make people want to be my friend and make me more attractive to girls\\\". If my team loses, I think \\\"well, I'm a loser because I identify with a loser, and no one wants to be near a loser\\\". My team losing tends to be particularly hard on me. This might sound weird, but it...well, it kinda makes me feel like Woody in the original Toy Story, being ignored for the newer, shinier Buzz. When one team beats another, people automatically (and justifiably) start fawning over the winning team, and the losing team gets forgotten. I guess, by extension, when my team loses, I feel like something similar happens to me - I feel like I'm being forgotten. I know I feel kinda...whiny saying this, but I guess that, because I have such low self-esteem and confidence, even the slightest trash talk seems to get to me. \\n Anyway, does anyone else have these types of feelings? If so, how would you recommend dealing with them?\",\n \"Summary: If and men are hurt by the patriarchy which they themselves created, why do you feel sorry for them? For example, why do you feel sorry for male domestic\\nviolence victims when most domestic violence is committed by men against women? Don't you think men deserve a taste of their own medicine?\\n\\nPost: Feminism is primarily meant to help women and raise/empower them. However, we often hear feminists use the famous phrase \\\"patriarchy hurts men, too\\\". Do you \\nreally believe that that's true? That \\\"patriarchy hurts men\\\"? If so, do you not think that men, for lack of a better word \\\"deserve\\\" to be hurt by the patriarchy? \\n For example, men have spent centuries essentially dictating to women what their bodies should look like. Women should weigh this much, their bodies should have this \\nshape, their skin should be this color, they should have zero body hair, their hair should look a certain way, they should smear these petroleum products on their \\nfaces, they should wear these clothes, they should wear these high-heeled shoes that are not only incredibly difficult to walk in but also damage their feet, etc. \\nWomen have, for centuries, been essentially forced to conform to impossible body and beauty standards created more or less entirely by men. It leads to all sorts \\nof insecurities, eating disorders, self-harm, spending money on all sorts of make up products and clothes, etc. It's terrible. \\n Most feminist discourse when it comes to body image is aimed at tackling the issues that women and girls face that these beauty standards cause. Yet, I often \\nhear feminists being sympathetic to men and boys suffering from the same things women suffer from. To go back to body image, we often hear the phrase \\\"It's just\\nas hard to be Ken as it is to be Barbie\\\". We hear about how men suffer from body image issues too, except in mens' case, body image issues center on six-pack abs,\\nmuscles, and chest/ab hair (by the way, notice how men have to worry about a mere fraction of the number of things women have to worry about?). \\n I guess my question is...why do you care? I mean, men have spent so many centuries putting women through so much shit - sexual assault, sexual harassment, unequal\\nrights, deprivation of bodily autonomy, ridiculous beauty standards, domestic violence, you name it. Don't you think men deserve a taste of their own medicine? \\n Of course, there are some things that affect men more than they affect women, such as the suppression of emotions and the resulting mental health issues. \\nBut even then, men pretty much bring those issues on themselves. So...don't you think it's kind of self-inflicted? And if so, why do feminists insist on pretending\\nmen are somehow \\\"victims\\\" of their own patriarchy? They've brought their so-called \\\"suffering\\\" on themselves, haven't they? \\n Another example is suicide. We often hear about how, as a result of patriarchy, men suppress their emotions and let their mental health issues go unchecked until \\nthey finally decide to take their own lives (or at least try). But if men attempting suicide as a result of emotional suppression is a result of the patriarchy that\\nthey themselves built, why feel sorry for them? \\n Besides, statistics show that women attempt suicide more often than men, but men often choose more lethal methods, whereas women choose methods that are less - for \\nlack of a better word - reliable. Furthermore, women often end up taking their own lives, either inadvertantly or intentionally, because of men and the patriarchy. \\nHow many women have taken their own lives because of sexual assault and the subsequent shaming, sexual harassment, or because they simply didn't eat enough because \\nthey wanted to conform to beauty standards? Knowing that so many women have taken their own lives as a result of men and the patriarchy, why would you feel sorry\\nfor the men who take their own lives as a result of their own patriarchy? \\n I'm sorry if this is a bit rambly, so let me summarize:\",\n \"Summary: I'd like to hear a female friend (could have a crush on me but doesn't have to) tell me that she thinks I have a lot to offer, that I'm cool, attractive, funny, etc. and that I have a lot to offer a potential girlfriend.

I'd like a recording from a female friend who I've become friends with as a result of me breaking out of my shell. Someone whose main social group I've become part of.

Fertilization, food, water, shelter and medical care are necessities. Friendship, romance, intimacy, and the rest are basically toys, not unlike iPads or MTV.\\n\\nPost: Human beings are social animals in the sense that they need other human beings to survive. Early humans needed to live in groups that would provide food, shelter, and protection. Obviously, humans needed (and still need, although artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization may change that) sex to propagate the species. These things are still true today. Modern institutions like welfare programs, food stamps, police, fire departments, and all of the other elements of a liberal democratic society are manifestations of the social nature of human beings. \\n However, there's a difference between needing other humans to survive and needing intimate relationships. By the way, I'm using \\\"intimate relationships\\\" as an umbrella term for friendships and romantic and/or sexual relationships. It seems that society's obsession with such relationships has really kicked into overdrive over the last century, and it only seems to be getting worse. Surely, technology like social networking sites and smartphones are playing a role, but so are Hollywood and the media in general. It seems you can't watch a single movie or TV show without some kind of intimate subplot. Scientists at universities actually spend money researching intimate relationships and often publish their results in scientific journals. We're constantly overwhelmed with messages about how important these relationships are to our lives. Kids are brainwashed into believing they're important, which I find especially tragic. People now waste significant portions of their lives pursuing these relationships when they don't really need them. We even go so far as to grant special legal status to certain intimate relationships by granting them marriage licenses, which is basically the equivalent of saying \\\"you two really, really, really like each other so we're going to give you special benefits\\\". It's quite sad, in my opinion. \\n It all seems like bullshit to me. I don't think people a century or a millennium ago were so obsessed with intimate relationships or intimacy. I don't think people in third-world countries who are suffering from real issues like hunger, poverty, and disease care about intimate relationships. No one ever died from a lack of intimacy in their lives the same way they did from lack of food, water, or shelter. Yes, humanity, like all sexually reproducing species, needs fertilization of an egg by a sperm to survive. But that doesn't mean humanity needs intimacy or intimate relationships. It doesn't mean humans need friends, \\\"girlfriends\\\", \\\"boyfriends\\\", or whatever cute terms we come up with. It just means a sperm needs to fertilize an egg, and as I said earlier, as technology advances, we'll soon be able to render even sex obsolete. \\n Anyway,\"\n]","isConversational":false},"profile_size":{"kind":"number","value":29,"string":"29"},"task":{"kind":"string","value":"longlamp_4"},"split_kind":{"kind":"string","value":"user_based"},"id":{"kind":"number","value":10996,"string":"10,996"}}},{"rowIdx":10997,"cells":{"question_id":{"kind":"string","value":"scottg96"},"question":{"kind":"string","value":"Generate the content for a reddit post I have a phobia of insects, where can I go to seek help in person?

It's one thing to see a movie about a serial killer - it's another to be in control of said serial killer through a video game.

The top bezel is a lot larger than on the TB, as is the bottom. But the usable screen real estate (not including the software keys) is only slightly larger than the TB. \n Side buttons, including volume and lock, were very protruding, which is a good thing (compared to my extremely recessed Thunderbolt lock button). \n It was actually extremely simple to use with one hand, and I surprisingly didn't have to stretch my thumb all the way to get to the opposite corner of the screen, which is good.","Summary: Moto planned this from the day they sent out the invites, it'll be on sale tomorrow, worry not.\n\nPost: Here's my theory: \n Today's event was never meant to be a public spectacle.

Google doesn't make a computer OS (well, Chrome OS; but that's not really any significant threat to Apple's market share) and Apple doesn't do web search, video streaming, etc. Apple loves Google Search and YouTube and their customers love it too, so there's no reason Apple would want to go against that. The rivalry between the two companies is only in the smartphone OS field as far as I can tell.","Summary: Valve should get Steam on there, in addition to their games.\n\nPost: I know it's supposed to launch with its own UI/game service kind of thing, but if they could make a partnership with Valve in terms of Steam and associated Valve games, that would be AMAZING. Plus, Valve's main concern with releasing their games on consoles (such as TF2 on the 360/PS3) is that updates can't be free and must be routed through/approved by Microsoft/Sony. Imagine being able to push updates through Google Play (or whatever digital distribution platform would be used for the OUYA) just as they would on the PC...","Summary: DJing isn't fundamentally supposed to be a huge live spectacle; the \"wow\" factor is in the DJ's productions.\n\nPost: What do you expect them to do? I'm serious. If you were in their shoes what would you do? \n The fundamentals of DJing are playing songs and transitioning/mixing from one to another smoothly and reading the crowd so you know what to play when. Anything else on top of that is merely ornamentation. \n And in the case of the first video shown, the track being played was Sander Van Doorn (guy on the left)'s own track. The marvel is in the songs, which makes them that much more amazing when they're played live. \n You have exceptions like Porter Robinson's new live show and Madeon's performance techniques using Launchpads, but even those are based around the original concept of a set of songs played one after another.","Summary: my phone isn't recognized by my computer and when it was, it wouldn't transfer files\n\nPost: So, here's the backstory: \n I was getting absolutely abysmal data speeds over 3G, 4G and WiFi on a CM10 ROM, so I decided to flash Bugless Beast from a backup (I was running it before). Everything seemed fine but then I saw that Jelly Belly 6.0 was out, so I wanted to flash that. I plugged in my phone to my computer and I could see the storage and deleted a few files, but when I tried moving the files I downloaded on my computer to my phone, it said \"Cannot copy items\", along with some other stuff about disconnection and whatnot. I can't recall exactly what it says because I installed some Samsung USB Drivers and now my phone isn't even showing up in Windows Explorer at all.","Summary: megapixels are simply a measurement of how big a picture is, not the quality.\n\nPost: I feel like a lot of people who argue that \"megapixels don't matter\" don't actually know why megapixels don't matter, and I'm here to clarify that for those of you who may not know. \n Megapixels are a measurement of the resolution of the picture. This means that if I had a constant pixel density (let's use paper density for this example), an 8 MP picture would be physically larger when printed out compared to a 5 MP picture. This does NOT mean it's lower quality, it just means that it is not as large at the same pixel density as an 8 MP picture. \n Now on a 720p screen there would really be no difference between displaying a 5 MP picture and an 8 MP picture because the highest resolution the display can show is 1280x720, which is lower than that of a 5 or 8 MP camera.","Summary: do crits affect damage against buildings, and if not, why not?\n\nPost: I was playing pyro and had crits while I burned down a Level 3 Dispenser. It took a rather long time considering I had crits. Then later I burned down a similar Dispenser with no crits, and it took the same amount of time. I don't quite understand this because the buildings have a numerical value for their health and shouldn't crits affect it like they would affect enemies?","Summary: not only are their lyrics amazing, but the way the mood of the lyrics corresponds to the mood of the music is even more amazing. \n I may or may not be a music theory major with nothing better to do...\n\nPost: I just had a revelation about RAM: \n So while people are obsessing over the ingenuity of the lyrics in RAM, I decided to actually analyze/correspond the mood of the lyrics with the mood of the chords/inflection of said chords in the music. this is particularly prevalent in \"Fragments of Time\", where during the chorus the chords are as follows: \n I'll just keep playing back (ii) \nThese fragments of time (vi) \nEverywhere I go (I) \nThese moments (IV) will shine (I) \n So you can see that in the first two lines, the lyrics are sentimental and sort of saddening, and the chords go from the relative dominant to the relative tonic (in minor). But then the lyrics become more positive in mood, and the I-IV-I chord progression is particularly good for conveying a happy mood (also known as the \"amen\"/plagal cadence in music theory).","Summary: set a timer, timer disappeared before it was done.\n\nPost: Twice today I've set a timer with \"OK Google, set a timer for X minutes\" and both times I have watched it work and start the timer for the appropriate amount of time.

But then they disappear before they've run out (and given me the repeating vibrations to let me know) - in one case I set a timer for 55 minutes, checked regularly until it was down to 2 minutes, then wondered what had happened about 5 minutes later, only to see that the timer is completely gone from the watch. \n Like I said, this has happened twice today. Anyone else have this issue?","Summary: why am I being throttled if I haven't passed 4 GB?\n\nPost: Title pretty much explains my problem.

Now, 8 year old me lied rampantly, so to avoid what I can only assume was some form of humiliation or embarrassment, I told everyone from then on (including my parents and the doctor) that it happened as a result of me diving to stop a ball from going into the goal and landed on my shoulder. \\n What I think actually happened (like I said in the title, I've sort of convinced myself otherwise) was a bunch of kids had piled onto my counselor on the ground for fun and somewhere along the line the counselor got up and I fell quite a few feet.\",\n \"Summary: frames of reference\\n\\nPost: Frames of reference, yo... being humans on Earth, our frame of reference is based off of our experience on the planet, including gravity.

He doesn't scale too well with many items besides CDR, Sheen, and Attack Speed (in mini form). Besides that items don't change his damage output very much. The only ability that really scales well is his Q. \n This means it's both very possible to salvage a lost lane, and it's also possible to not be able to snowball a lane despite your lead. \n Because of this it may seem like he's lackluster, but as soon as people start mastering him, the consistent power levels despite being behind or ahead is really going to shine. People will have a dependable amount of strength and always will know their limits, which tends to result in a high success rate with the champion.","Summary: If we didn't have the Electoral College or something like it, then Hurricane Sandy might have been able to single-handedly win Romney the election if it had been slightly worse. \n That being said, I'm all for a better system, just like any sensible person would be.

That said, Popular votes directly deciding the POTUS is not the way to go. \n Sources: \n and\n\nPost: And then something like Hurricane Sandy happens, millions of potential votes are lost, and then suddenly the other guy is winning for it. \n New York will always have roughly the same EVs, but the Hurricane brought their total popular votes down to something along the lines of 4 million. In 2008, there were along the lines of 8 million votes. \n If we didn't have the Electoral College or something similar, then that's 4 million votes lost not because of apathy, but because of an unpreventable disaster. In the event where the popular vote directly decided a president, then 4 million would have had absolutely zip for input, all against their will. \n The REAL problem though, is that those 4 million votes would matter A WHOLE LOT MORE. See if you compare 2008 votes to this year's in NY, you get the decrease of Republican votes coming out to like 1.5-2 million, and the lost Democratic votes were 2.5-3 million. Basically, the Dems would have lost a lot of input compared to the Reps. In the Electoral College system, as long as the ratio of Dems:Reps stays the same, then regardless of disaster the resulting impact from NY will be just as strong as it is under normal conditions. \n Whenever someone brings up abolishing the Electoral College this has, and always will be my first example. Hurricane Sandy has made it more relevant and easier to understand, but I've always believed this and it has always been an issue. \n There are very few systems I've heard of or could think of that would give any significant increase in power to the popular vote that wouldn't mess things up like this.","Summary: America's revolution is a huge historical event that created a global super-power in the end. Nothing within a relevant timezone was nearly as important/relevant as far as Templar (European) endeavors go. \n Sorry for the few typos here and there. I get into bad spelling habits with words I don't use too often.\n\nPost: To be fair, In order to move forward with the timeline quickly enough to get to feature Desmond as the main character in AC IV or V they don't have a very wide range of options. It's almost obvious that the AC before modern times is going to be WWII or the Cold War or something along those lines. Anything between Rennaisance and then is either: \n \n Too close to AC II timeline-wise \n \n In the same general area of the globe \n \n Or wouldn't make too much sense storyline wise. \n \n \n To explain my third point, If they set ACIII in Asia for example, then it wouldn't make too much sense because AC is focused around Opposing Templar objectives. Templars are Europeans. Everything Europe did concerning Asia wasn't NEARLY as consequencial as anything in previous AC titles, not to mention the founding of another country that would happen to grow into a world super-power. \n America also happens to be where Desmond lives... How would he be an ancestor to Altair if the Assassins never came to America? It makes sense if Ezio's descendants happened to become spaniards/british and then be one of the thousands of colonists to knock up a Comanche or two. From there it would make more sense if Assassins were siding with the Natives or something throughout the conquest to the point where they recruited them. \n All and all this leads us down to ACIII's prodigy: Hawk-Feather-Dark-Knife or something.","Summary: Don't feed the trolls. Don't hate on the fanboys. They are different people.\n\nPost: I really don't get why the fans fueling the rivalry is such a big deal to everyone. I mean, obviously they're both AAA teams and games that happen between them are fairly even. Really the games are won/lost at champ select or by really clutch plays in lategame. Mechanically, they're both peaked out. I mean, we all understand that right? Even the people shouting TSMTSMTSM or CLGCLGCLG understand that, even if they refuse to acknowledge it. They just cheer for whoever they have a closer relationship to basically. Like someone who was watching HSGG climb the elo ladder with nid is probably a CLG fan, and anyone who's met the TSM crew IRL is probably a TSM fan. I met Dyrus at a fairly small tourney (IPL All-stars) and got his signature and had a small convo. My friend also was chosen as one of the members of the Fan vs Pro games at the same event. So obviously I'm partial to TSM. but I know CLG is just as good mechanically. \n So why do people care if I make it obvious I like tsm? You see this in other sports and you don't see people with \"CHEESEHEADS 4 LIFE\" Sigs getting banned from NFL forums etc. To be honest, the only justification for hate on these kinds of comments is when they are literally just saying \"TSMTSMTSM\" without anything insightful. Just because reddiquite. So when you see it, just downvote and move on. Also because reddiquite.","Summary: Be open minded, get some premades up and try new team setups in order to move the game forward and add diversity to it. Shake things up a bit for once. Maybe don't try it in ranked without a premade until some of them become widely known though.\n\nPost: It's not that I dislike the current meta, it's a very effective way of maximizing exp throughout the team and keeping the team well balanced while including a champion for every unique role. While going with this meta is a very solid choice, I don't like how people feel they MUST obey it as if it were a law. It's convenient in that it's a fall-back that everyone understands and is easy to execute/form into in pre-game. \n The thing I dislike is how people feel it's the only way things can possibly work out. With new changes to the jungle etc many more team setups are now plausible and possibly more effective. The only difference is that they require more teamwork and communication to pull off until it's practiced thing everyone knows. If you're in a team/premade there is no excuse not to try out new, non-troll setups in an effort to move the game forward. For example, one day me and my premade buds decided to think up a new plausible team comp. It went like this: \n Character comp: \n \n TOP: (skill based) Sustained dmg AD Ranged (such as corki, graves, or maybe MF, though others would be plausible) paired with an initiator/bruiser/cc machine that is capable of jungling (I'm thinking Malphite, Riven, Singed etc) \n \n MID: Character with lots of harass and sustain that can either take some hits, or has a reliable escape extreme range also can make up for this. Preferably filled with CC. AP or AD depending on the AD/AP balance of others. ( I have Ahri, Cass, Galio, Pirate, Gragas and similar people in mind [cant think of many right now... so tired...]) \n \n BOT: AP Nuker with a Snare/Stun/Root/Suppress or maybe a REALLY good slow (Malz, Sion, Morg, Ryze, TF, Xerath, Viegar would all be T1 or 2) paired with an AD/Hybrid Assasin-type burst char. (Talon, Kat, Shaco, Xin all T1). \n \n Strategy: At start, everyone gets their jungle. AD carry grabs wolves while bruiser gives mid or the AD carry blue buff (whoever needs it more) from there on top lane shares wolves/blue between waves. AP leashes red for the assasin and the assasin helps the ap get golems. Top/bot should each have 1 smite. doesn't matter who has it. The bruiser will build as if they were a jungler and the Assasin will carry Tele to fufill the ganking role of the jungler, while the bruiser focuses on helping with dragon and such. Mid game the Assasin and AD carry should be roaming as much as possible since the AP should have enough cc to survive for 2-3 minutes 2v1 if he's smart and the bruiser can sustain his way through it. \n \n I know it needs some refinement, but I honestly think this may be a more powerful team comp when it comes to team fights because all of your team will have better lvls on average than the previous meta and similar average cs (or at least the gold gained from it since jungle creeps give more) WITHOUT one champ getting shafted in the cs department (the classic support). So, everyone on your team will be able to contribute a lot to the team-fights rather than 2 champs doing most of the work (ap and ad carry) and 3 others just enabling them to do so (tanking, healing, and helping dish a bit of dmg). Also this way, any fights below 5v5 have a greater chance of working for you because chances are higher that the 2v2 will have more dmg on your side. This strategy also turns both bot and top lanes into Kill-Zones, meaning that they will either net quite a few kills, or result in the enemy being zoned quite a bit. If bot/top aren't going well though, it may be ideal for the bruiser at top or the better-off champ in bot to not take as much cs, or focus on only taking jungle cs in order to close the gap. \n Mid lane should also be sure to push out their lane and grab wraiths whenever they are capable. \n Top and Bot lanes may switch in order to make buffs more effective, but the way I have it described counters the old meta better, so either works. \n anyways, that's my spiel. Any help refining this idea is appreciated. I'll do anything for a bit of variety in this meta-driven game.","Summary: Fight him at level 3 and 6. After you get stunned by him unload all your cc to stop his E then get out of his spear range in ~4 seconds if you can't out-trade one more spear. Leave lane if you are low. Try not to let him go B. Push him to tower. Start with lots of pots.\n\nPost: Certain champions can't do anything about him unless he does something wrong like stays in lane too long. There are plenty of matchups like that already in this game though, so I don't think that matters too much. \n Anyways, 90% of the time they'll be maxing Q until it hits rank 3 or 4 at least. This means at lvl 1,3,5,7 they are ranking Q and Q is going to be stronger. \n Forcing a fight at levels in-between him ranking Q, and then ending it before he can land a full E on you is generally the best way to win trades. \n Also try to bait out his shield early somehow. His shield smash refreshes his passive. If he gets that off mid-fight correctly, then you're going to have 3 of your autos blocked. If he engages with shield, then try and cut off his E and unload your cooldowns. \n Pulling off some passive sustain/tank/farm lanes on him is a much easier way to win. \n Also he has no real escapes. If your jungler can shut him down without wasting too much pressure toplane, then that helps a lot. \n Also never start something like Doran's, Longsword+2, or Boots+ward+2 against Panth. It's just asking to lose. Just go Crystalline+3 or Regen+ward+5.","Summary: for that second paragraph: You know the government is bored and falling back on religion when it's throwing around ideas of banning blowjobs.\n\nPost: Agreed. I honestly detest every single candidate right now. I would love to see someone in office who is physically CAPABLE of being president. Even if he disagrees with me on some issues I wouldn't care so long as he/she is freaking COMPETENT. Ron Paul is close... but the majority will never trust him when he's endorsing extreme change as enthusiastically as he is. Steps in the right direction are generally better to the public eye. \n Another thing I noticed in your rant that sparked thought: When did the government stop caring about seperation of church and state? I mean, we all know the Bible has always been bastardized to being a method to control the general populace through years and years of being edited and rewritten to fit [insert ancient monarch here]'s whim. But really? Since when does religion outright determine EVERY SINGLE VIEW a candidate has on EVERY SINGLE ISSUE?! cough Santorum cough","Summary: I think Xerath get's more use out of AP than Kat in total when you take AoE and his passive into consideration even though she does a lot more with her ult than any single one of Xerath's abilities.\n\nPost: I agree it's scary, but I was going for scaling between all abilities. AKA Xerath's q, e, and r (x3) ratios all added together PLUS the fact that q and r are both AoE. \n So I think his total POTENTIAL AP ratio is greater than Kat's if you include all abilities because Kat's only AoE is her R. \n Xerath's total ratio would look like (assuming 5 champions hit) \n (Qx5)+E+(Rx3x5) which would come out to a total of (I think) 64.5 \n may sound ridiculous, but so does hitting all 5 enemies with all 6 shots. If you think realistically, the most he would hit in a teamfight is maybe 2 per ability (except e) or 3 if they were clumpy. \n In that case it comes out to a solid 15, which is pretty good and more likely to happen than Kat keeping 3 enemies under her ulti. \n And then you take into consideration that AP gives him survivability, building RoA/Rylai's then going glass cannon becomes a fairly viable build on him.","Summary: League of Legends and Vindictus. Maybe Mabinogi or Cabal if you're weird. I would take the first 100 hours of a new Elder Scrolls or Fallout game over anything though.\n\nPost: I wouldn't really suggest the classic MMO. They run off of people getting addicted to them and baiting you further in with meaningless goals that take longer and longer, giving them more money. F2P MMO's or one-time-fee mmo's are generally free of this trend and actually AIM to make the game fun, although there is some grinding required if you want to be \"the best\" you could do just as well playing them for fun and still get to the same status eventually. \n \n Off the top of my head: \n -League of Legends \n -Heroes of Newerth (difficult as hell... lot's of practice before it gets fun) \n -Vindictus \n -Dragon Nest \n -Happy Wheels (lol) \n -Toribash \n -Minecraft RPG servers (look forward to World of Hante coming in a month or so) \n \n If you're going for a more free-world type generic MMO let me suggest: \n -Mabinogi (Graphics=meh but the concepts are refreshing and awesome... slightly elitist community though... try it out, but wait for a new server before getting dedicated)((Also wins the award of only MMO storyline I've ever followed... it's so good)) \n -Cabal (Grindy... very grindy... but my favorite among the grinders) \n -Grand Fantasia (Pets and things :D early on progress is fast and you can get right into it as well) \n -Eden Eternal (Refreshing concepts) \n \n But know this: I for one will always play EVERY RPG in the Elder Scrolls or Fallout series and PRAISE THEM INFINITELY MORE THAN ANY MMO. But alas, after I finish every story arc I cannot find much joy in them compared to the first 48 straight hours in front of my tv... And so at that point the appeal of LoL and Vindictus rises...","Summary: Get IPL All-Stars, make it digital. Preferably an independent website. Have a system for Fans to submit limited amounts of questions to Pros. Have a Fans vs Pros game after every event. Have competitions weeks in advance so fans can qualify for said game. All the money is yours. \n \n THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY\n\nPost: READ HERE TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE ALL THE MONEY:\n \n \n If you could do something like what you did at South By Southwest (IPL All-Stars I think?) Where you just got a bunch of pros and stick them on random teams (Dyrus, Scarra, Elementz team too strong) that would be cool. Also the fans vs pros game afterwards where pros were random and fans were blind pick... oh god that was just too good. Some random Teemo getting kills on Westrice toplane (I think it was Westrice. I forgot what champ...) and that Dyrus as Pantheon and Scarra as Alistair Double Jungle... I have never witnessed anything greater. \n As far as I see it, IPL All-Stars had a lot of potential (hur dur I don't know publicity words) but it wasn't advertised much. It wasn't streamed (as far as I recall) and only people going to SXSW already actually found out about it, even though it was largely independent from SXSW. If you guys could set up something similar that occurs on a schedule that is easily advertised and memorable (like 6-9pm on every other Saturday or something) then it could be pretty huge. And from what I saw at the event, it could easily become a 100% digital event as opposed to physical. \n A completely independent website (or linked to an official IPL site) for this event could be epic. Having a whole system where fans can submit questions to pros with a limited # of questions per email address would be cool. Having them filtered by you and sent out to the accounts of pros where they are assured to be seen. Then having on-site competitions for fans to qualify for the Fans vs Pros game after the next All-Stars event (So the fans team has a couple of weeks notice to prepare) would give the site HUGE traffic. Lots of ad-views if you incorporate a few page-refreshes into the competition itself. \n I feel like I'm on a roll here.","Summary: Pretty much the best DPS/Duelist jungler that can clear with decent times. The only real competition in that regard is Nocturne and Jax. Maybe Mundo.\n\nPost: I tried Riven jungle in PBE. It's pretty sweet. She clears around 3:50 starting blue and 3:30-3:45 starting red. Ofc starting with machete and 5 pots. \n For reference, the benchmark for clear times is about 4:10. If you clear over that time under ideal conditions, then you probably can't bounce back if anything goes wrong. So if you clear over that time it's probably not a good idea to jungle that champ. \n Getting more specific: \n I've tried three setups with her. AD Marks and Quints, AS Marks and AD Quints, and AD Marks and HP/5 Quints. Besides that everything I tried made little difference or just didn't come out in the early stages. \n AD Marks and Quints clear faster past level 3 with more HP than AS/AD (Because the increased AD means more shield) but unless she gets a leash she gets REALLY low at first buff. AS marks and AD quints solo first buff like a breeze, but gets lower than AD/AD by the end of the clear. In total they come out to roughly the same speed. With the AD Marks and HP/5 Quints you're a bit slower if you get no help (Like 5-10 seconds slower if you get no help at all) but you clear with about 3/4 if not more of your HP, which means you can do more in terms of invading etc. \n I choose between the three depending on what I feel like doing. I really really want to take MS quints for better ganks, but I feel they will make for terribad clears, so focusing on counterjungling and ganking top lane or heavy cc mid lanes works best.","Summary: there should be an AP version of Wriggles that gives spellvamp and something like a chance of 50 MR reduction on minions for a few seconds on each spell. Also with a free ward.\n\nPost: Wriggles procs proc his heal on W, so it's a REALLY nice heal early on against the jungle creeps. after you get lvl 4 W with the 30% dmg-->hp conversion and the 425 damage from wriggles every 5th attack (more or less) it's really nice ~100 hp heal every time it procs. \n Besides that, free ward. Worth it. Hell I almost wanna get Wriggles on APs just so I don't have to B when my ward goes away like I do top lane.","Summary: Look at Talon's scalings/cooldowns a bit better and possibly look at videos of GOOD Talons.\n\nPost: If you go EWQR as Talon then I can understand why. Blegh. I've only ever used that combo EXTREMELY rarely. \n Your W slow 9/10 times is enough to get in close for a Q. When you ult, a lot of times they will flash away and you have no way to get the second damage proc off. \n The proper way is this: \n Land a Rake, if they don't instantly start running back, then rush forward and AA then Q for the reset and additional ~100 damage. If they flash away, then back off. Your job is done. Going in deeper will get you killed unless they are really low. If they don't back off, or if they come back to lane, then you land another W, Ult, they flash, you E to them and you AA Q them. Possibly ignite if you have it and need the damage. You ALWAYS want to finish your combo with Q. I cannot stress that enough. The bleed does well finishing them off and it reveals where they may run away or it keeps them from pulling sneaky bush juking tactics. If you start with it, then you only have like 3 seconds of vision on them. \n So basically start with: \n \n W-AA-Q \n \n From there, either \n \n Wait-W-R-E-AA-Q If they back off \n \n or \n \n R-E-AA-Q-W If they are stupid and try to out-trade you. \n \n Either of those combos takes maybe an extra 3 seconds to pull off at first, but once you're good at it you can shave off an additional second. It's really worth it though because it gives you a few things over the combo you listed: \n \n Two Q's, which amounts to about 120 or so extra damage at level 6 (Including the DoT) \n \n Two W's Extra slow and about 200 more damage give or take \n \n Two AA's, which amount to about 150 or so damage at level 6 \n \n Ensured landing of second proc of ult, and you use the silence when it's actually needed to keep them from flashing just long enough for you to land that last Q or W. \n \n Ending with Q gives you ~3 seconds more vision on your target and better synergy with ignite. \n \n \n Rengar would not have as much damage as that with triple Q (Which takes longer because of how long the ult takes to get you to full stacks) and it gives them plenty of time to just walk/flash/dash/jump away. \n Kha only has one way to jump onto an enemy unless he kills someone else. It's also not a targeted gapcloser. If the enemy just flashes away when they see Kha taking a whole half second to jump, then what can Kha do afterwards? Poke with his missiles? Yeah no. He's not nearly as reliable in terms of getting onto his target, though I do like how his ult works, and it's definitely superior to Talon's in teamfights. But sadly he needs to use it for DPS and CC OR Escapes. He can't do both with one ult like Talon can. (maybe he can just fine after evolving it though).","Summary: Reddit knows balance\" \n Also: [\"At high level play\"](\n\nPost: First off, I have no idea how what you said about Event Horizon supports your point at all. Riot wasn't trying to completely gut the skill, so when you say \"Event Horizon will still do what Event Horizon has always done most of the time\" you're actually proving yourself wrong. It will still be an effective skill at all levels of play for zoning if nothing else, without being oppressive like it is in live. \n As for the Q changes... \n \n You forgot the range change to Viegar's Q, which kinda kills your point about it making him too vulnerable. He can farm from far away and out of poke/all-in/gank range now, and it doesn't have to hit 2 targets if he aims it properly, meaning it doesn't really always push lane. \n \n You aren't accounting for player skill. At all. Literally every negative effect you listed can be counteracted with a little bit of thought, experience, and skill. \n \n \n Also this is going onto PBE, meaning the damage numbers aren't going to be changed until they have more data on these changes already. This isn't final. If these changes, like you say, reduce his damage output significantly, then Riot has time to tweak it on PBE before it hits live.","Summary: Nobody knows what they're talking about and it's too complicated for Riot to explain or make promises, but they are taking the most efficient step towards fixing these issues.\n\nPost: You're only reading what you find that supports your argument, and you barely know what you're talking about. \n So lets go back in time a bit. \n When LoL was first released up until it started getting popular, east coast players had decent ping. Something like 80-100ms, by most accounts I've read. Sure it's not the greatest, but it's not unplayable either. \n Since then League has had a major surge in popularity, and I'm sure ISPs have taken note of the increased traffic. \n Now here's something you need to know about ISPs. They have control of your connections and the route that your connection takes to the servers. They will ALWAYS choose the cheapest route to send these connections. Especially in the case of a large number of the same type of connections occuring. \n So now they have a \"rule\" for connections to Riot servers to follow the cheapest route possible after every hop. They've already done this to Netflix, Youtube, and a lot of other popular bandwidth hogging types of connections that aren't P2P. \n This, of course, means our connections are now subject to \"bad hops\" where your connection will get slowed down significantly on it's way to Riot's servers. \n How many companies get around ISPs doing this bullshit, is by creating their own Tier 2 networks. Tier 2 networks basically set up and pay for a \"standardized\" set of hops for connections to take on their way to a server. This lowers latency by A LOT. Mostly because the creators of the Tier 2 network will assure that these hops are in tip top shape so that their employees/customers/clients whatever can access their servers as easily as possible. \n This is essentially what Riot is doing, and I pretty much agree with it completely. \n Remember the problems early on Riot had with managing EUW because the data center was separated from their HQ? That's what would happen if they moved their servers to some other random spot in central USA. Maybe it wouldn't, but doing so would certainly create that risk. \n By creating this Tier 2 network, though, Riot is essentially eliminating packet loss problems, server load issues, as well as distance-related latency issues. It is the most efficient move possible in this situation. Even if they did move the servers to central, the east coast ping would STILL be shit, because the ping issues ARE NOT DISTANCE RELATED. Then they would have to take this step anyways. \n To clarify, yes, the problems you are facing with ping are not at all related to distance. People in the same goddamn city as Riot HQ are getting 60ms to the servers when they should be getting like 5ms or lower. \n AT LEAST 55ms of your ping issues are completely a result of bad routing by your ISP, and only whatever is left over is likely to be a result of distance.","Summary: Nerfing the ultimate evolution slightly and changing his evolved W to fire 3 rockets in a line that does increased slow/damage/heal if all of them land is the correct response to this development. It would make all 4 evolution options equally desireable, which means khazix will have a more defined role depending on what he evolves.\n\nPost: But getting it puts your other evolutions behind. Before the only essentials were evolving Q and E. Now you have Q E and R evolutions that are really good. Now it's hard to tell what needs to be evolved first. \n E obviously is piss-poor for a first evolution because it only helps in teamfights and in ganks sometimes. Even in ganks it means you rely a lot on your allies to follow up since you have lower damage, so it's really hit or miss in soloqueue. \n Q adds a lot of damage early on. It gives you a lot of dragon control and the ability to farm jungle very quickly. It also lets you be very independent in your ganks in that if you catch the enemy well enough, you can kill them immediately. The problem is that you have a lot less presence in early 3v3s or full on teamfights because you can't jump on the backline and you can't really survive very long. Your positioning makes or breaks you. \n If you evolve R first then you have more damage because you proc your passive more, you have more mobility, and you have better ganks. you're also better in teamfights. The problem is it's not as good at damage as Q and it's not as good for mobility as E. The power is very much a jack of all trades type thing. There's also the fact that this is your ultimate. It has a short cd for an ultimate, but it means your farming, ganking, fighting, and basically everything you do will suffer if you don't use it. That's what balances it out I think. When you see insec do all these great things with evolved R in fights, consider that his clear times in the jungle were slower and any fights he gets into after the fight will be harder. \n Evolving W is some pretty good AOE. It seems to be the lackluster ability out of all of them, but I feel like it could be used well in the current patch with maybe just a small change. \n I think the correct response to these developments is not completely nerfing R. I think what should happen is they should make W evolution more desireable, while maybe tuning down the damage reduction on his ulti to 30% or increasing the cooldown a bit. \n If I had to choose, I think I would make evolved W have a \"burn\" effect (Reasoning here is more damage, but without giving Kha more poke...), increasing the heal, or adding a \"salvo\" type of system where instead of shooting 3 rockets in a split, it fires 3 rockets in a line. The first rocket would have the same missile speed etc as live, but the 2 additional rockets would have an acceleration added so that they are slower at launch and then speed up so that they land at later times. This wouldn't create an annoying \"poke\" kha build because at longer ranges enemies that are running away will only get hit by the first rocket, and take no extra damage, but it would be fit to strengthen the more skirmish style of gameplay that Kha has been fitting into ever since the change to his Q and R. The would duck and weave around at medium range and fire off the W when it's most likely to land the full damage and slow. It would also be a favorable evolution for the \"tankier\" kha like Insec's due to having better clear times and jungle sustain. \n Along with that change to W I would also change the AD ratio on his W to a TOTAL AD ratio that's not very high, but give the skill a relatively high base damage assuming all rockets land. This would give kha an option for when he's behind and lacking in the heavy AD necessary to assassinate people with Q. \n Forgot to mention that the damage, slow and heals from getting hit by the 2nd and 3rd rocket will all go through, but taking damage from/being slowed by/being healed by more than one rocket will mean you get a reduced value from any additional rockets.","Summary: Passive Clear then Gank: Start armor, rush all buffs, gank. \n Invade then Counterjungle: Haste, Enemy Haste (get a kill here), Enemy Power, Gank, Armor, Gank, back, Power, Pigs, Wells. \n Always keep Well capture, Parasite, Well Harass, Money Pigs in mind (in that order) after taking buffs and ganking. Lategame Para>Well capture. Early game they are about equally important.\n\nPost: Clear all the buff camps ASAP and gank if your lvl 3 is strong. If your lvl4 is important, clear an extra small camp or harass enemy spirit well. \n Generally you want to start off at the armor camp and end at the power camp because that means you have power buff the entire duration of your ganking spree rather than armor. Armor buff also keeps you healthier. \n If you start with Hunger+Pots then you can start at Haste camp and then go to enemy haste camp and cheese a kill. Haste is almost always the 2nd camp enemy jungle will clear and they wont have vanquish, so if you save vanquish you can easily steal it and kill them. Haste also sustains you through the jungle better than armor if your shaper has any type of onhit heal or lifesteal or Hunger. \n After Ganking and Hitting lvl 4 (in any order) you're gonna wanna consider either taking Money Pigs or Harassing Wells OR taking parasite (now that it can be done early). \n If you are on Voluc or just retardedly strong in general, you can solo/duo parasite at 5 or 6 if you get 2 money pigs + a good gank.","Summary: Playing through games with trolls instead of dodging and then continuing to report that player (preferably with a pic of pre-game lobby) will probably get that player banned, suffering elo decay, and dropping a tier. \n AKA THE GREAT SCUM SEGREGATION HAS BEGUN, REPORT THE SCUM AND NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN! We shall have our grand utopia of Silver III free, FREE I SAY, of all the vagrants!\n\nPost: But since the penalty is only 1 LP, it will trigger again on your next win so it isn't that bad. Hell, if you dodge another game and lose 10 more LP it'll probably still trigger after one win since dodging gets you matched vs more skilled players and fighting more skilled players gets more LP. Probably enough to still trigger the promotion after one win. \n If you get trolls 3 times in a row, though, you're screwed. \n To be honest though, with this new system it's probably best to play through troll games. Unless your troll is an early pick, which is almost never since 90% of trolling happens because they aren't first pick, that means that your team is probably at least partly comprised of less skilled players than you, which means you lose less LP than you would for a legit loss and probably the same amount of LP as you would for a 2nd dodge. I understand that assumes a lot of things, but I think this situation would cover most incidents of trolling, if not a significant portion of them. This also means you can report that player and he has a good chance of getting banned. Getting banned means he rakes in LP decay from inactivity, which happens to be the only way to drop a tier. If he drops a tier then he'll probably be pissed and become and even more toxic player OR he reforms. If the former, then he never rakes in enough LP to advance back into your league, if the latter, then he isn't a toxic/bad player and he'll deserve to be in your league.","Summary: one piece is TL;DW\n\nPost: One piece should have cut out the filler and made the whole 'training' arc happen 100 episodes sooner. That way we'd have the thing end around episode 500 instead of feeling like the series was just starting up and everything else was just a prologue arc. Then it would be pretty good. \n I mean honestly, you can start watching the series at the island meetup episode and be perfectly fine.","Summary: Read Galio's skillset and compare/contrast.\n\nPost: I just think that Shen's main strength lies in his ability to create clutch plays in teamfights. Many other solotops can do this (Galio, Wukong, and Kennen, even Fiora come to mind) while even more junglers can perform this feat as well (Amumu and Fiddlesticks are prime examples as well as others such as Maokai etc). The only thing is all these champions have weak or semi-weak early-mid game presence. All of them have the most power in teamfights. Shen is different, and it's this difference that is what makes people call him \"OP\". He has a global presence that others don't have that essentially gives him the power to turn the tides of a lane skirmish. While at the same time he has a decent laning capability that other top-laners do not. \n Take Galio for example. Shen's Ult-->taunt will NEVER make as big of a difference in team fights as Galio's Ulti (especially if he shields an himself and then shields an ally after the taunt). This is because even if Shen manages to taunt their entire team (unlikely) he alone is not capable of delivering as much damage in that time that Galio's ulti would. But Galio will never have the laning-phase presence that Shen does. Galio also has a slightly weaker 1v1 laning experience than Shen. \n In my opinion putting all these factors together makes it seem like Shen is essentially a jack of all trades in the solotop world. He takes a bit of the teamfight presence of solotops like Galio/Amumu, except to a lesser extent. And instead of that, buffs up his laning phase presence. He is strong throughout the game instead of having weak spots followed by ridiculous strength later on. This, to me, does not make him as strong, in my mind, as a well-played Galio or Amumu for the late game because a well played Galio/Amumu would know how to get by and exceed without that early game prowess. \n To me, he's just the best soloqueue pick because of his versatility. But for tournaments and premades he should be replaced by someone more effective at his role in the late game, like Galio.","Summary: TF's AP ratios are well below half of many better AP carries (Like Xerath) and his stun/hard cc is not something unique among AP carries (Xerath/Sion/Ahri). And his ultimate is useless for everything except getting back to lane faster after dying so you don't miss out on too much cs/exp and die more later in the game. \n Edit: I forgot to talk about his passive... oh wait... what passive? The one that might pay for 1 or 2 wards in the entire game? \n ~SSoTFP\n\nPost: Twisted Fate is already completely UP why would you nerf him? Sure his Q is okay as far as damage goes, but every AP carry has a poke almost, if not as strong as that. His stun is probably the only nice thing, but tbh the damage on it is abysmal and Morgana, Lux, Sion, and even Taric have hard CC with better damage than TF's yellow card. His E is useless to level as well. The attack speed is always useless on AP TF and on AD TF his Q becomes useless if you level E instead. \n His pick-a-card mechanic in general is really terrible as well. Even pro TF players (I seriously don't know why anyone tries going pro with him) mess up his pick a card. And if you mess one up, it screws you over. If you go yellow/red while trying for blue, you oom. If you get red/blue while trying for yellow, you screw up your lame excuse for a combo and get killed. If you pick red while trying for red you're an idiot because it's not useful at all. \n Also his R is barely useful. You'll never be strong enough to really create any dominance in the game with it and you'd be lucky to even get 3 kills with it in an entire game. Every time you hit level 6 in mid lane the enemy AP will just walk up to you and combo you to death because they have 2 more damaging spells than you instead of the 1 it was before (Because we all know even if you do hit your E on them, it doesn't really do much damage) which means you will be at a disadvantage in EVERY post-6 laning phase that you can't make up for by ganking, even if you do get a kill. \n And he doesn't make up for it by being beefy or tanky in any way. Sion has a better AP ratio and he STILL gets to have 3.5-4k HP building glass cannon because of his passive. If you build glass cannon on TF you end up with a pathetic 1.8k hp. If you DON'T build glass cannon, you do absolutely no damage and you aren't even enough of a threat to be killed any more. People could cluster in to teamfight in the jungle and completely ignore you and you wouldn't deal any damage at all.","Summary: I dupe and I'm still 0/8 FML and stop whining at people who aren't flooding the market with it.\n\nPost: You try it! It's hard! And it's the only way to get a decent start at this game without having someone gift you stuff or playing for 2+ weeks to get a full set for any class. God forbid you have to make new character after new character until you hit 11k fame for one ammy so you can get 1/2 of a set! \n I duped an ammy I got, but only so I don't have to start FROM THE GROUND all over again. The repetetiveness of that is so annoying. I definitely wont dupe anything more than one extra ammy for myself every time I break one (I'd rather not flood the market like some are doing). But even then, I lost one ammy I duped once and it takes like anywhere from 5-15 minutes just for ONE dupe just because the timing is different and constantly changing depending on the server. \n So yeah, If you dupe just one ammy for yourself every time you break yours then IMO you aren't a scumbag. Flooding the market with pots/ammys/UTs though, that's scumbaggery IMO because it ruins the game for newer players who don't want to dupe. \n IDK if OP is in the second category or the first, but it's a large factor in my opinion of him.","Summary: Either I have had a fucked moral compass my whole life without realizing it, or there's no logical reason to be ashamed.\n\nPost: To respond to your edit: I don't really care about anything anyone says about me duping stuff.

I only dupe things I plan on using for myself.","Summary: Teasers point to a release date with an 80% chance to be around the 28th, 10% chance to be around the 18th, and 10% chance it's all a troll and we get some random ass release. \n Hope you guys enjoyed the post.\n\nPost: So, starting around the end of the whole \"Get likes, get paid\" thing Neople was doing on facebook, they started teasing the classes in Facebook posts. \n Did they think we forgot what the classes were? No. \n Are they trying to show new players the classes? New players on that FB page? There might be 5 of them. \n No, these teasers are part of a grand design. \n Unfortunately, these teasers kind-of differ greatly. They don't seem that planned and there wasn't an obvious design going into the first few ones, but they start getting polished up towards the end. \n Because of that I can't make as solid of a prediction, due to the multiple possibilities. \n So far the teasers are thus: \n Jan 6th: Creator and Dark Knight teased. (I have a hunch this was only show first to reassure players right away that they would be included regardless of the like goals, therefore it's an abnormality. I think the first teaser was meant to come later than this one did. Maybe the 8th?) \n Jan 19th: Male Slayer teased. (Note it was really freakin close to midnight, so maybe meant to be released on the 18th, but got delayed) \n Jan 27th: Female Fighter teased. Did they mean to include Male Fighter? They don't explicitly say \"Female\". \n Feb 7th: Gunner teased. Both male and female included. This is what makes me question the Fighter post. \n Feb 16th: Female Mage teased. Male Mage is different enough to justify a different teaser, I think. Especially since the post specifically says \"girls\". \n Feb 26th: Priest teased. \n So they've been releasing teasers of the classes on somewhat of a schedule. If you follow my justifications, there is a likely 8>7>6 pattern, leaving me to believe the announcement date will be the x5th of March. The release itself would have to be at least 3 days later. \n With the last teaser, we can only assume we would also be very close to the release, if not the release date+announcement itself. \n So how many teasers are left? Well there's definitely gonna be Rogue, Female Slayer, and most likely Male Mage teasers. I'm led to believe Male Fighter is meant to be in the Fighter teaser shown previously. \n That means 3 teasers. \n Teaser 1 will be around March 5th \n Teaser 2 will be around March 15th, and may include release date \n Teaser 3 may or may not exist (If Male mage was meant to be included in the Mage teaser), but will be around the 25th if it does. This will almost definitely include the release date (at least 3 days later) if it hasn't already been announced. This also has a good chance of being the release date."],"string":"[\n \"Summary: More AoE Burst on a champion that is 80% AoE burst.\\n\\nPost: Good amount of flat AD for the price (Only more efficient item in the price range is BF Sword), but on top of that it also has the active, which for Talon means an extra 60% of his AD on his combo every time, bringing his Total AD scaling up to 300% Bonus AD and 260% of his Total AD from 300% Bonus AD and 200% Total AD (2 Autos per combo). \\n So basically as long as you're ALWAYS using Tiamat when you go in, the item essentially gives you the same benefit as 64 AD on it's own, and even more if you have more AD than that. So it's always going to be a good ~100 or so damage better in one burst combo than BF Sword when you get it early game, which is totally worth the extra 400g since it has an easy build path and scales to be better lategame.\",\n \"Summary: He doesn't seem to be strong because he doesnt have huge powerspikes, but his consistency will be praised once people master him.\\n\\nPost: Nightblue is jungling him and going full tank and doing pretty well apparently. So I don't think his success can really be dubbed exclusive to one elo or another. \\n Also a lot of his strength lies in his high base stats/strengths as a laner. He doesn't scale too well with many items besides CDR, Sheen, and Attack Speed (in mini form). Besides that items don't change his damage output very much. The only ability that really scales well is his Q. \\n This means it's both very possible to salvage a lost lane, and it's also possible to not be able to snowball a lane despite your lead. \\n Because of this it may seem like he's lackluster, but as soon as people start mastering him, the consistent power levels despite being behind or ahead is really going to shine. People will have a dependable amount of strength and always will know their limits, which tends to result in a high success rate with the champion.\",\n \"Summary: If we didn't have the Electoral College or something like it, then Hurricane Sandy might have been able to single-handedly win Romney the election if it had been slightly worse. \\n That being said, I'm all for a better system, just like any sensible person would be. There's no reason to stick with Old because it's old. That's illogical. That said, Popular votes directly deciding the POTUS is not the way to go. \\n Sources: \\n and\\n\\nPost: And then something like Hurricane Sandy happens, millions of potential votes are lost, and then suddenly the other guy is winning for it. \\n New York will always have roughly the same EVs, but the Hurricane brought their total popular votes down to something along the lines of 4 million. In 2008, there were along the lines of 8 million votes. \\n If we didn't have the Electoral College or something similar, then that's 4 million votes lost not because of apathy, but because of an unpreventable disaster. In the event where the popular vote directly decided a president, then 4 million would have had absolutely zip for input, all against their will. \\n The REAL problem though, is that those 4 million votes would matter A WHOLE LOT MORE. See if you compare 2008 votes to this year's in NY, you get the decrease of Republican votes coming out to like 1.5-2 million, and the lost Democratic votes were 2.5-3 million. Basically, the Dems would have lost a lot of input compared to the Reps. In the Electoral College system, as long as the ratio of Dems:Reps stays the same, then regardless of disaster the resulting impact from NY will be just as strong as it is under normal conditions. \\n Whenever someone brings up abolishing the Electoral College this has, and always will be my first example. Hurricane Sandy has made it more relevant and easier to understand, but I've always believed this and it has always been an issue. \\n There are very few systems I've heard of or could think of that would give any significant increase in power to the popular vote that wouldn't mess things up like this.\",\n \"Summary: America's revolution is a huge historical event that created a global super-power in the end. Nothing within a relevant timezone was nearly as important/relevant as far as Templar (European) endeavors go. \\n Sorry for the few typos here and there. I get into bad spelling habits with words I don't use too often.\\n\\nPost: To be fair, In order to move forward with the timeline quickly enough to get to feature Desmond as the main character in AC IV or V they don't have a very wide range of options. It's almost obvious that the AC before modern times is going to be WWII or the Cold War or something along those lines. Anything between Rennaisance and then is either: \\n \\n Too close to AC II timeline-wise \\n \\n In the same general area of the globe \\n \\n Or wouldn't make too much sense storyline wise. \\n \\n \\n To explain my third point, If they set ACIII in Asia for example, then it wouldn't make too much sense because AC is focused around Opposing Templar objectives. Templars are Europeans. Everything Europe did concerning Asia wasn't NEARLY as consequencial as anything in previous AC titles, not to mention the founding of another country that would happen to grow into a world super-power. \\n America also happens to be where Desmond lives... How would he be an ancestor to Altair if the Assassins never came to America? It makes sense if Ezio's descendants happened to become spaniards/british and then be one of the thousands of colonists to knock up a Comanche or two. From there it would make more sense if Assassins were siding with the Natives or something throughout the conquest to the point where they recruited them. \\n All and all this leads us down to ACIII's prodigy: Hawk-Feather-Dark-Knife or something.\",\n \"Summary: Don't feed the trolls. Don't hate on the fanboys. They are different people.\\n\\nPost: I really don't get why the fans fueling the rivalry is such a big deal to everyone. I mean, obviously they're both AAA teams and games that happen between them are fairly even. Really the games are won/lost at champ select or by really clutch plays in lategame. Mechanically, they're both peaked out. I mean, we all understand that right? Even the people shouting TSMTSMTSM or CLGCLGCLG understand that, even if they refuse to acknowledge it. They just cheer for whoever they have a closer relationship to basically. Like someone who was watching HSGG climb the elo ladder with nid is probably a CLG fan, and anyone who's met the TSM crew IRL is probably a TSM fan. I met Dyrus at a fairly small tourney (IPL All-stars) and got his signature and had a small convo. My friend also was chosen as one of the members of the Fan vs Pro games at the same event. So obviously I'm partial to TSM. but I know CLG is just as good mechanically. \\n So why do people care if I make it obvious I like tsm? You see this in other sports and you don't see people with \\\"CHEESEHEADS 4 LIFE\\\" Sigs getting banned from NFL forums etc. To be honest, the only justification for hate on these kinds of comments is when they are literally just saying \\\"TSMTSMTSM\\\" without anything insightful. Just because reddiquite. So when you see it, just downvote and move on. Also because reddiquite.\",\n \"Summary: Be open minded, get some premades up and try new team setups in order to move the game forward and add diversity to it. Shake things up a bit for once. Maybe don't try it in ranked without a premade until some of them become widely known though.\\n\\nPost: It's not that I dislike the current meta, it's a very effective way of maximizing exp throughout the team and keeping the team well balanced while including a champion for every unique role. While going with this meta is a very solid choice, I don't like how people feel they MUST obey it as if it were a law. It's convenient in that it's a fall-back that everyone understands and is easy to execute/form into in pre-game. \\n The thing I dislike is how people feel it's the only way things can possibly work out. With new changes to the jungle etc many more team setups are now plausible and possibly more effective. The only difference is that they require more teamwork and communication to pull off until it's practiced thing everyone knows. If you're in a team/premade there is no excuse not to try out new, non-troll setups in an effort to move the game forward. For example, one day me and my premade buds decided to think up a new plausible team comp. It went like this: \\n Character comp: \\n \\n TOP: (skill based) Sustained dmg AD Ranged (such as corki, graves, or maybe MF, though others would be plausible) paired with an initiator/bruiser/cc machine that is capable of jungling (I'm thinking Malphite, Riven, Singed etc) \\n \\n MID: Character with lots of harass and sustain that can either take some hits, or has a reliable escape extreme range also can make up for this. Preferably filled with CC. AP or AD depending on the AD/AP balance of others. ( I have Ahri, Cass, Galio, Pirate, Gragas and similar people in mind [cant think of many right now... so tired...]) \\n \\n BOT: AP Nuker with a Snare/Stun/Root/Suppress or maybe a REALLY good slow (Malz, Sion, Morg, Ryze, TF, Xerath, Viegar would all be T1 or 2) paired with an AD/Hybrid Assasin-type burst char. (Talon, Kat, Shaco, Xin all T1). \\n \\n Strategy: At start, everyone gets their jungle. AD carry grabs wolves while bruiser gives mid or the AD carry blue buff (whoever needs it more) from there on top lane shares wolves/blue between waves. AP leashes red for the assasin and the assasin helps the ap get golems. Top/bot should each have 1 smite. doesn't matter who has it. The bruiser will build as if they were a jungler and the Assasin will carry Tele to fufill the ganking role of the jungler, while the bruiser focuses on helping with dragon and such. Mid game the Assasin and AD carry should be roaming as much as possible since the AP should have enough cc to survive for 2-3 minutes 2v1 if he's smart and the bruiser can sustain his way through it. \\n \\n I know it needs some refinement, but I honestly think this may be a more powerful team comp when it comes to team fights because all of your team will have better lvls on average than the previous meta and similar average cs (or at least the gold gained from it since jungle creeps give more) WITHOUT one champ getting shafted in the cs department (the classic support). So, everyone on your team will be able to contribute a lot to the team-fights rather than 2 champs doing most of the work (ap and ad carry) and 3 others just enabling them to do so (tanking, healing, and helping dish a bit of dmg). Also this way, any fights below 5v5 have a greater chance of working for you because chances are higher that the 2v2 will have more dmg on your side. This strategy also turns both bot and top lanes into Kill-Zones, meaning that they will either net quite a few kills, or result in the enemy being zoned quite a bit. If bot/top aren't going well though, it may be ideal for the bruiser at top or the better-off champ in bot to not take as much cs, or focus on only taking jungle cs in order to close the gap. \\n Mid lane should also be sure to push out their lane and grab wraiths whenever they are capable. \\n Top and Bot lanes may switch in order to make buffs more effective, but the way I have it described counters the old meta better, so either works. \\n anyways, that's my spiel. Any help refining this idea is appreciated. I'll do anything for a bit of variety in this meta-driven game.\",\n \"Summary: Fight him at level 3 and 6. After you get stunned by him unload all your cc to stop his E then get out of his spear range in ~4 seconds if you can't out-trade one more spear. Leave lane if you are low. Try not to let him go B. Push him to tower. Start with lots of pots.\\n\\nPost: Certain champions can't do anything about him unless he does something wrong like stays in lane too long. There are plenty of matchups like that already in this game though, so I don't think that matters too much. \\n Anyways, 90% of the time they'll be maxing Q until it hits rank 3 or 4 at least. This means at lvl 1,3,5,7 they are ranking Q and Q is going to be stronger. \\n Forcing a fight at levels in-between him ranking Q, and then ending it before he can land a full E on you is generally the best way to win trades. \\n Also try to bait out his shield early somehow. His shield smash refreshes his passive. If he gets that off mid-fight correctly, then you're going to have 3 of your autos blocked. If he engages with shield, then try and cut off his E and unload your cooldowns. \\n Pulling off some passive sustain/tank/farm lanes on him is a much easier way to win. \\n Also he has no real escapes. If your jungler can shut him down without wasting too much pressure toplane, then that helps a lot. \\n Also never start something like Doran's, Longsword+2, or Boots+ward+2 against Panth. It's just asking to lose. Just go Crystalline+3 or Regen+ward+5.\",\n \"Summary: for that second paragraph: You know the government is bored and falling back on religion when it's throwing around ideas of banning blowjobs.\\n\\nPost: Agreed. I honestly detest every single candidate right now. I would love to see someone in office who is physically CAPABLE of being president. Even if he disagrees with me on some issues I wouldn't care so long as he/she is freaking COMPETENT. Ron Paul is close... but the majority will never trust him when he's endorsing extreme change as enthusiastically as he is. Steps in the right direction are generally better to the public eye. \\n Another thing I noticed in your rant that sparked thought: When did the government stop caring about seperation of church and state? I mean, we all know the Bible has always been bastardized to being a method to control the general populace through years and years of being edited and rewritten to fit [insert ancient monarch here]'s whim. But really? Since when does religion outright determine EVERY SINGLE VIEW a candidate has on EVERY SINGLE ISSUE?! cough Santorum cough\",\n \"Summary: I think Xerath get's more use out of AP than Kat in total when you take AoE and his passive into consideration even though she does a lot more with her ult than any single one of Xerath's abilities.\\n\\nPost: I agree it's scary, but I was going for scaling between all abilities. AKA Xerath's q, e, and r (x3) ratios all added together PLUS the fact that q and r are both AoE. \\n So I think his total POTENTIAL AP ratio is greater than Kat's if you include all abilities because Kat's only AoE is her R. \\n Xerath's total ratio would look like (assuming 5 champions hit) \\n (Qx5)+E+(Rx3x5) which would come out to a total of (I think) 64.5 \\n may sound ridiculous, but so does hitting all 5 enemies with all 6 shots. If you think realistically, the most he would hit in a teamfight is maybe 2 per ability (except e) or 3 if they were clumpy. \\n In that case it comes out to a solid 15, which is pretty good and more likely to happen than Kat keeping 3 enemies under her ulti. \\n And then you take into consideration that AP gives him survivability, building RoA/Rylai's then going glass cannon becomes a fairly viable build on him.\",\n \"Summary: League of Legends and Vindictus. Maybe Mabinogi or Cabal if you're weird. I would take the first 100 hours of a new Elder Scrolls or Fallout game over anything though.\\n\\nPost: I wouldn't really suggest the classic MMO. They run off of people getting addicted to them and baiting you further in with meaningless goals that take longer and longer, giving them more money. F2P MMO's or one-time-fee mmo's are generally free of this trend and actually AIM to make the game fun, although there is some grinding required if you want to be \\\"the best\\\" you could do just as well playing them for fun and still get to the same status eventually. \\n \\n Off the top of my head: \\n -League of Legends \\n -Heroes of Newerth (difficult as hell... lot's of practice before it gets fun) \\n -Vindictus \\n -Dragon Nest \\n -Happy Wheels (lol) \\n -Toribash \\n -Minecraft RPG servers (look forward to World of Hante coming in a month or so) \\n \\n If you're going for a more free-world type generic MMO let me suggest: \\n -Mabinogi (Graphics=meh but the concepts are refreshing and awesome... slightly elitist community though... try it out, but wait for a new server before getting dedicated)((Also wins the award of only MMO storyline I've ever followed... it's so good)) \\n -Cabal (Grindy... very grindy... but my favorite among the grinders) \\n -Grand Fantasia (Pets and things :D early on progress is fast and you can get right into it as well) \\n -Eden Eternal (Refreshing concepts) \\n \\n But know this: I for one will always play EVERY RPG in the Elder Scrolls or Fallout series and PRAISE THEM INFINITELY MORE THAN ANY MMO.

Have a system for Fans to submit limited amounts of questions to Pros. Have a Fans vs Pros game after every event. Have competitions weeks in advance so fans can qualify for said game. All the money is yours. \\n \\n THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY\\n\\nPost: READ HERE TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE ALL THE MONEY:\\n \\n \\n If you could do something like what you did at South By Southwest (IPL All-Stars I think?) Where you just got a bunch of pros and stick them on random teams (Dyrus, Scarra, Elementz team too strong) that would be cool. Also the fans vs pros game afterwards where pros were random and fans were blind pick... oh god that was just too good. Some random Teemo getting kills on Westrice toplane (I think it was Westrice. I forgot what champ...) and that Dyrus as Pantheon and Scarra as Alistair Double Jungle... I have never witnessed anything greater. \\n As far as I see it, IPL All-Stars had a lot of potential (hur dur I don't know publicity words) but it wasn't advertised much. It wasn't streamed (as far as I recall) and only people going to SXSW already actually found out about it, even though it was largely independent from SXSW. If you guys could set up something similar that occurs on a schedule that is easily advertised and memorable (like 6-9pm on every other Saturday or something) then it could be pretty huge. And from what I saw at the event, it could easily become a 100% digital event as opposed to physical. \\n A completely independent website (or linked to an official IPL site) for this event could be epic. Having a whole system where fans can submit questions to pros with a limited # of questions per email address would be cool. Having them filtered by you and sent out to the accounts of pros where they are assured to be seen. Then having on-site competitions for fans to qualify for the Fans vs Pros game after the next All-Stars event (So the fans team has a couple of weeks notice to prepare) would give the site HUGE traffic. Lots of ad-views if you incorporate a few page-refreshes into the competition itself. \\n I feel like I'm on a roll here.\",\n \"Summary: Pretty much the best DPS/Duelist jungler that can clear with decent times. The only real competition in that regard is Nocturne and Jax. Maybe Mundo.\\n\\nPost: I tried Riven jungle in PBE. It's pretty sweet. She clears around 3:50 starting blue and 3:30-3:45 starting red. Ofc starting with machete and 5 pots. \\n For reference, the benchmark for clear times is about 4:10. If you clear over that time under ideal conditions, then you probably can't bounce back if anything goes wrong. So if you clear over that time it's probably not a good idea to jungle that champ. \\n Getting more specific: \\n I've tried three setups with her. AD Marks and Quints, AS Marks and AD Quints, and AD Marks and HP/5 Quints. Besides that everything I tried made little difference or just didn't come out in the early stages. \\n AD Marks and Quints clear faster past level 3 with more HP than AS/AD (Because the increased AD means more shield) but unless she gets a leash she gets REALLY low at first buff. AS marks and AD quints solo first buff like a breeze, but gets lower than AD/AD by the end of the clear. In total they come out to roughly the same speed. With the AD Marks and HP/5 Quints you're a bit slower if you get no help (Like 5-10 seconds slower if you get no help at all) but you clear with about 3/4 if not more of your HP, which means you can do more in terms of invading etc. \\n I choose between the three depending on what I feel like doing. I really really want to take MS quints for better ganks, but I feel they will make for terribad clears, so focusing on counterjungling and ganking top lane or heavy cc mid lanes works best.\",\n \"Summary: there should be an AP version of Wriggles that gives spellvamp and something like a chance of 50 MR reduction on minions for a few seconds on each spell. Also with a free ward.\\n\\nPost: Wriggles procs proc his heal on W, so it's a REALLY nice heal early on against the jungle creeps. after you get lvl 4 W with the 30% dmg-->hp conversion and the 425 damage from wriggles every 5th attack (more or less) it's really nice ~100 hp heal every time it procs. \\n Besides that, free ward. Worth it. Hell I almost wanna get Wriggles on APs just so I don't have to B when my ward goes away like I do top lane.\",\n \"Summary: Look at Talon's scalings/cooldowns a bit better and possibly look at videos of GOOD Talons.\\n\\nPost: If you go EWQR as Talon then I can understand why. Blegh. I've only ever used that combo EXTREMELY rarely. \\n Your W slow 9/10 times is enough to get in close for a Q. When you ult, a lot of times they will flash away and you have no way to get the second damage proc off. \\n The proper way is this: \\n Land a Rake, if they don't instantly start running back, then rush forward and AA then Q for the reset and additional ~100 damage. If they flash away, then back off. Your job is done. Going in deeper will get you killed unless they are really low. If they don't back off, or if they come back to lane, then you land another W, Ult, they flash, you E to them and you AA Q them. Possibly ignite if you have it and need the damage. You ALWAYS want to finish your combo with Q. I cannot stress that enough. The bleed does well finishing them off and it reveals where they may run away or it keeps them from pulling sneaky bush juking tactics. If you start with it, then you only have like 3 seconds of vision on them. \\n So basically start with: \\n \\n W-AA-Q \\n \\n From there, either \\n \\n Wait-W-R-E-AA-Q If they back off \\n \\n or \\n \\n R-E-AA-Q-W If they are stupid and try to out-trade you. \\n \\n Either of those combos takes maybe an extra 3 seconds to pull off at first, but once you're good at it you can shave off an additional second. It's really worth it though because it gives you a few things over the combo you listed: \\n \\n Two Q's, which amounts to about 120 or so extra damage at level 6 (Including the DoT) \\n \\n Two W's Extra slow and about 200 more damage give or take \\n \\n Two AA's, which amount to about 150 or so damage at level 6 \\n \\n Ensured landing of second proc of ult, and you use the silence when it's actually needed to keep them from flashing just long enough for you to land that last Q or W. \\n \\n Ending with Q gives you ~3 seconds more vision on your target and better synergy with ignite. \\n \\n \\n Rengar would not have as much damage as that with triple Q (Which takes longer because of how long the ult takes to get you to full stacks) and it gives them plenty of time to just walk/flash/dash/jump away. \\n Kha only has one way to jump onto an enemy unless he kills someone else. It's also not a targeted gapcloser. If the enemy just flashes away when they see Kha taking a whole half second to jump, then what can Kha do afterwards? Poke with his missiles? Yeah no. He's not nearly as reliable in terms of getting onto his target, though I do like how his ult works, and it's definitely superior to Talon's in teamfights. But sadly he needs to use it for DPS and CC OR Escapes. He can't do both with one ult like Talon can. (maybe he can just fine after evolving it though).\",\n \"Summary: Reddit knows balance\\\" \\n Also: [\\\"At high level play\\\"](\\n\\nPost: First off, I have no idea how what you said about Event Horizon supports your point at all. Riot wasn't trying to completely gut the skill, so when you say \\\"Event Horizon will still do what Event Horizon has always done most of the time\\\" you're actually proving yourself wrong. It will still be an effective skill at all levels of play for zoning if nothing else, without being oppressive like it is in live. \\n As for the Q changes... \\n \\n You forgot the range change to Viegar's Q, which kinda kills your point about it making him too vulnerable. He can farm from far away and out of poke/all-in/gank range now, and it doesn't have to hit 2 targets if he aims it properly, meaning it doesn't really always push lane. \\n \\n You aren't accounting for player skill. At all. Literally every negative effect you listed can be counteracted with a little bit of thought, experience, and skill. \\n \\n \\n Also this is going onto PBE, meaning the damage numbers aren't going to be changed until they have more data on these changes already. This isn't final. If these changes, like you say, reduce his damage output significantly, then Riot has time to tweak it on PBE before it hits live.\",\n \"Summary: Nobody knows what they're talking about and it's too complicated for Riot to explain or make promises, but they are taking the most efficient step towards fixing these issues.\\n\\nPost: You're only reading what you find that supports your argument, and you barely know what you're talking about. \\n So lets go back in time a bit. \\n When LoL was first released up until it started getting popular, east coast players had decent ping. Something like 80-100ms, by most accounts I've read. Sure it's not the greatest, but it's not unplayable either. \\n Since then League has had a major surge in popularity, and I'm sure ISPs have taken note of the increased traffic. \\n Now here's something you need to know about ISPs. They have control of your connections and the route that your connection takes to the servers. They will ALWAYS choose the cheapest route to send these connections. Especially in the case of a large number of the same type of connections occuring. \\n So now they have a \\\"rule\\\" for connections to Riot servers to follow the cheapest route possible after every hop. They've already done this to Netflix, Youtube, and a lot of other popular bandwidth hogging types of connections that aren't P2P. \\n This, of course, means our connections are now subject to \\\"bad hops\\\" where your connection will get slowed down significantly on it's way to Riot's servers. \\n How many companies get around ISPs doing this bullshit, is by creating their own Tier 2 networks. Tier 2 networks basically set up and pay for a \\\"standardized\\\" set of hops for connections to take on their way to a server. This lowers latency by A LOT. Mostly because the creators of the Tier 2 network will assure that these hops are in tip top shape so that their employees/customers/clients whatever can access their servers as easily as possible. \\n This is essentially what Riot is doing, and I pretty much agree with it completely. \\n Remember the problems early on Riot had with managing EUW because the data center was separated from their HQ? That's what would happen if they moved their servers to some other random spot in central USA. Maybe it wouldn't, but doing so would certainly create that risk. \\n By creating this Tier 2 network, though, Riot is essentially eliminating packet loss problems, server load issues, as well as distance-related latency issues. It is the most efficient move possible in this situation. Even if they did move the servers to central, the east coast ping would STILL be shit, because the ping issues ARE NOT DISTANCE RELATED. Then they would have to take this step anyways. \\n To clarify, yes, the problems you are facing with ping are not at all related to distance. People in the same goddamn city as Riot HQ are getting 60ms to the servers when they should be getting like 5ms or lower. \\n AT LEAST 55ms of your ping issues are completely a result of bad routing by your ISP, and only whatever is left over is likely to be a result of distance.\",\n \"Summary: Nerfing the ultimate evolution slightly and changing his evolved W to fire 3 rockets in a line that does increased slow/damage/heal if all of them land is the correct response to this development. It would make all 4 evolution options equally desireable, which means khazix will have a more defined role depending on what he evolves.\\n\\nPost: But getting it puts your other evolutions behind. Before the only essentials were evolving Q and E. Now you have Q E and R evolutions that are really good. Now it's hard to tell what needs to be evolved first. \\n E obviously is piss-poor for a first evolution because it only helps in teamfights and in ganks sometimes. Even in ganks it means you rely a lot on your allies to follow up since you have lower damage, so it's really hit or miss in soloqueue. \\n Q adds a lot of damage early on. It gives you a lot of dragon control and the ability to farm jungle very quickly. It also lets you be very independent in your ganks in that if you catch the enemy well enough, you can kill them immediately. The problem is that you have a lot less presence in early 3v3s or full on teamfights because you can't jump on the backline and you can't really survive very long. Your positioning makes or breaks you. \\n If you evolve R first then you have more damage because you proc your passive more, you have more mobility, and you have better ganks. you're also better in teamfights. The problem is it's not as good at damage as Q and it's not as good for mobility as E. The power is very much a jack of all trades type thing. There's also the fact that this is your ultimate. It has a short cd for an ultimate, but it means your farming, ganking, fighting, and basically everything you do will suffer if you don't use it. That's what balances it out I think. When you see insec do all these great things with evolved R in fights, consider that his clear times in the jungle were slower and any fights he gets into after the fight will be harder. \\n Evolving W is some pretty good AOE. It seems to be the lackluster ability out of all of them, but I feel like it could be used well in the current patch with maybe just a small change. \\n I think the correct response to these developments is not completely nerfing R. I think what should happen is they should make W evolution more desireable, while maybe tuning down the damage reduction on his ulti to 30% or increasing the cooldown a bit. \\n If I had to choose, I think I would make evolved W have a \\\"burn\\\" effect (Reasoning here is more damage, but without giving Kha more poke...), increasing the heal, or adding a \\\"salvo\\\" type of system where instead of shooting 3 rockets in a split, it fires 3 rockets in a line. The first rocket would have the same missile speed etc as live, but the 2 additional rockets would have an acceleration added so that they are slower at launch and then speed up so that they land at later times. This wouldn't create an annoying \\\"poke\\\" kha build because at longer ranges enemies that are running away will only get hit by the first rocket, and take no extra damage, but it would be fit to strengthen the more skirmish style of gameplay that Kha has been fitting into ever since the change to his Q and R. The would duck and weave around at medium range and fire off the W when it's most likely to land the full damage and slow. It would also be a favorable evolution for the \\\"tankier\\\" kha like Insec's due to having better clear times and jungle sustain. \\n Along with that change to W I would also change the AD ratio on his W to a TOTAL AD ratio that's not very high, but give the skill a relatively high base damage assuming all rockets land. This would give kha an option for when he's behind and lacking in the heavy AD necessary to assassinate people with Q. \\n Forgot to mention that the damage, slow and heals from getting hit by the 2nd and 3rd rocket will all go through, but taking damage from/being slowed by/being healed by more than one rocket will mean you get a reduced value from any additional rockets.\",\n \"Summary: Passive Clear then Gank: Start armor, rush all buffs, gank. \\n Invade then Counterjungle: Haste, Enemy Haste (get a kill here), Enemy Power, Gank, Armor, Gank, back, Power, Pigs, Wells. \\n Always keep Well capture, Parasite, Well Harass, Money Pigs in mind (in that order) after taking buffs and ganking. Lategame Para>Well capture. Early game they are about equally important.\\n\\nPost: Clear all the buff camps ASAP and gank if your lvl 3 is strong. If your lvl4 is important, clear an extra small camp or harass enemy spirit well. \\n Generally you want to start off at the armor camp and end at the power camp because that means you have power buff the entire duration of your ganking spree rather than armor. Armor buff also keeps you healthier. \\n If you start with Hunger+Pots then you can start at Haste camp and then go to enemy haste camp and cheese a kill. Haste is almost always the 2nd camp enemy jungle will clear and they wont have vanquish, so if you save vanquish you can easily steal it and kill them. Haste also sustains you through the jungle better than armor if your shaper has any type of onhit heal or lifesteal or Hunger. \\n After Ganking and Hitting lvl 4 (in any order) you're gonna wanna consider either taking Money Pigs or Harassing Wells OR taking parasite (now that it can be done early). \\n If you are on Voluc or just retardedly strong in general, you can solo/duo parasite at 5 or 6 if you get 2 money pigs + a good gank.\",\n \"Summary: Playing through games with trolls instead of dodging and then continuing to report that player (preferably with a pic of pre-game lobby) will probably get that player banned, suffering elo decay, and dropping a tier. \\n AKA THE GREAT SCUM SEGREGATION HAS BEGUN, REPORT THE SCUM AND NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN! We shall have our grand utopia of Silver III free, FREE I SAY, of all the vagrants!\\n\\nPost: But since the penalty is only 1 LP, it will trigger again on your next win so it isn't that bad. Hell, if you dodge another game and lose 10 more LP it'll probably still trigger after one win since dodging gets you matched vs more skilled players and fighting more skilled players gets more LP. Probably enough to still trigger the promotion after one win. \\n If you get trolls 3 times in a row, though, you're screwed. \\n To be honest though, with this new system it's probably best to play through troll games. Unless your troll is an early pick, which is almost never since 90% of trolling happens because they aren't first pick, that means that your team is probably at least partly comprised of less skilled players than you, which means you lose less LP than you would for a legit loss and probably the same amount of LP as you would for a 2nd dodge. I understand that assumes a lot of things, but I think this situation would cover most incidents of trolling, if not a significant portion of them. This also means you can report that player and he has a good chance of getting banned. Getting banned means he rakes in LP decay from inactivity, which happens to be the only way to drop a tier. If he drops a tier then he'll probably be pissed and become and even more toxic player OR he reforms. If the former, then he never rakes in enough LP to advance back into your league, if the latter, then he isn't a toxic/bad player and he'll deserve to be in your league.\",\n \"Summary: one piece is TL;DW\\n\\nPost: One piece should have cut out the filler and made the whole 'training' arc happen 100 episodes sooner.

Then it would be pretty good. \\n I mean honestly, you can start watching the series at the island meetup episode and be perfectly fine.\",\n \"Summary: Read Galio's skillset and compare/contrast.\\n\\nPost: I just think that Shen's main strength lies in his ability to create clutch plays in teamfights. Many other solotops can do this (Galio, Wukong, and Kennen, even Fiora come to mind) while even more junglers can perform this feat as well (Amumu and Fiddlesticks are prime examples as well as others such as Maokai etc). The only thing is all these champions have weak or semi-weak early-mid game presence. All of them have the most power in teamfights. Shen is different, and it's this difference that is what makes people call him \\\"OP\\\". He has a global presence that others don't have that essentially gives him the power to turn the tides of a lane skirmish. While at the same time he has a decent laning capability that other top-laners do not. \\n Take Galio for example. Shen's Ult-->taunt will NEVER make as big of a difference in team fights as Galio's Ulti (especially if he shields an himself and then shields an ally after the taunt). This is because even if Shen manages to taunt their entire team (unlikely) he alone is not capable of delivering as much damage in that time that Galio's ulti would. But Galio will never have the laning-phase presence that Shen does. Galio also has a slightly weaker 1v1 laning experience than Shen. \\n In my opinion putting all these factors together makes it seem like Shen is essentially a jack of all trades in the solotop world. He takes a bit of the teamfight presence of solotops like Galio/Amumu, except to a lesser extent. And instead of that, buffs up his laning phase presence. He is strong throughout the game instead of having weak spots followed by ridiculous strength later on. This, to me, does not make him as strong, in my mind, as a well-played Galio or Amumu for the late game because a well played Galio/Amumu would know how to get by and exceed without that early game prowess. \\n To me, he's just the best soloqueue pick because of his versatility. But for tournaments and premades he should be replaced by someone more effective at his role in the late game, like Galio.\",\n \"Summary: TF's AP ratios are well below half of many better AP carries (Like Xerath) and his stun/hard cc is not something unique among AP carries (Xerath/Sion/Ahri). And his ultimate is useless for everything except getting back to lane faster after dying so you don't miss out on too much cs/exp and die more later in the game. \\n Edit: I forgot to talk about his passive... oh wait... what passive? The one that might pay for 1 or 2 wards in the entire game? \\n ~SSoTFP\\n\\nPost: Twisted Fate is already completely UP why would you nerf him? Sure his Q is okay as far as damage goes, but every AP carry has a poke almost, if not as strong as that. His stun is probably the only nice thing, but tbh the damage on it is abysmal and Morgana, Lux, Sion, and even Taric have hard CC with better damage than TF's yellow card. His E is useless to level as well. The attack speed is always useless on AP TF and on AD TF his Q becomes useless if you level E instead. \\n His pick-a-card mechanic in general is really terrible as well. Even pro TF players (I seriously don't know why anyone tries going pro with him) mess up his pick a card. And if you mess one up, it screws you over. If you go yellow/red while trying for blue, you oom. If you get red/blue while trying for yellow, you screw up your lame excuse for a combo and get killed. If you pick red while trying for red you're an idiot because it's not useful at all. \\n Also his R is barely useful. You'll never be strong enough to really create any dominance in the game with it and you'd be lucky to even get 3 kills with it in an entire game. Every time you hit level 6 in mid lane the enemy AP will just walk up to you and combo you to death because they have 2 more damaging spells than you instead of the 1 it was before (Because we all know even if you do hit your E on them, it doesn't really do much damage) which means you will be at a disadvantage in EVERY post-6 laning phase that you can't make up for by ganking, even if you do get a kill. \\n And he doesn't make up for it by being beefy or tanky in any way. Sion has a better AP ratio and he STILL gets to have 3.5-4k HP building glass cannon because of his passive. If you build glass cannon on TF you end up with a pathetic 1.8k hp. If you DON'T build glass cannon, you do absolutely no damage and you aren't even enough of a threat to be killed any more. People could cluster in to teamfight in the jungle and completely ignore you and you wouldn't deal any damage at all.\",\n \"Summary: I dupe and I'm still 0/8 FML and stop whining at people who aren't flooding the market with it.\\n\\nPost: You try it!

But even then, I lost one ammy I duped once and it takes like anywhere from 5-15 minutes just for ONE dupe just because the timing is different and constantly changing depending on the server. \\n So yeah, If you dupe just one ammy for yourself every time you break yours then IMO you aren't a scumbag. Flooding the market with pots/ammys/UTs though, that's scumbaggery IMO because it ruins the game for newer players who don't want to dupe. \\n IDK if OP is in the second category or the first, but it's a large factor in my opinion of him.\",\n \"Summary: Either I have had a fucked moral compass my whole life without realizing it, or there's no logical reason to be ashamed.\\n\\nPost: To respond to your edit: I don't really care about anything anyone says about me duping stuff.

No. \\n Are they trying to show new players the classes? New players on that FB page? There might be 5 of them. \\n No, these teasers are part of a grand design. \\n Unfortunately, these teasers kind-of differ greatly. They don't seem that planned and there wasn't an obvious design going into the first few ones, but they start getting polished up towards the end. \\n Because of that I can't make as solid of a prediction, due to the multiple possibilities. \\n So far the teasers are thus: \\n Jan 6th: Creator and Dark Knight teased. (I have a hunch this was only show first to reassure players right away that they would be included regardless of the like goals, therefore it's an abnormality. I think the first teaser was meant to come later than this one did. Maybe the 8th?) \\n Jan 19th: Male Slayer teased. (Note it was really freakin close to midnight, so maybe meant to be released on the 18th, but got delayed) \\n Jan 27th: Female Fighter teased. Did they mean to include Male Fighter? They don't explicitly say \\\"Female\\\". \\n Feb 7th: Gunner teased. Both male and female included. This is what makes me question the Fighter post. \\n Feb 16th: Female Mage teased. Male Mage is different enough to justify a different teaser, I think. Especially since the post specifically says \\\"girls\\\". \\n Feb 26th: Priest teased. \\n So they've been releasing teasers of the classes on somewhat of a schedule. If you follow my justifications, there is a likely 8>7>6 pattern, leaving me to believe the announcement date will be the x5th of March. The release itself would have to be at least 3 days later. \\n With the last teaser, we can only assume we would also be very close to the release, if not the release date+announcement itself. \\n So how many teasers are left? Well there's definitely gonna be Rogue, Female Slayer, and most likely Male Mage teasers. I'm led to believe Male Fighter is meant to be in the Fighter teaser shown previously. \\n That means 3 teasers. \\n Teaser 1 will be around March 5th \\n Teaser 2 will be around March 15th, and may include release date \\n Teaser 3 may or may not exist (If Male mage was meant to be included in the Mage teaser), but will be around the 25th if it does. This will almost definitely include the release date (at least 3 days later) if it hasn't already been announced. This also has a good chance of being the release date.\"\n]","isConversational":false},"profile_size":{"kind":"number","value":25,"string":"25"},"task":{"kind":"string","value":"longlamp_4"},"split_kind":{"kind":"string","value":"user_based"},"id":{"kind":"number","value":10998,"string":"10,998"}}},{"rowIdx":10999,"cells":{"question_id":{"kind":"string","value":"TankorSmash"},"question":{"kind":"string","value":"Generate the content for a reddit post new content = good for everyone.

But since it did so well, selling way more than the estimate, a sequel gets green-lit.

Here was my reply: \n Great question! I think I'll have to reformat the sidebar to make it a bit clearer. \n The intention here is most definitely to submit each individual post. For now, we're not so popular that we're being overrun by especially active blogs, so there's not much of a risk of that sort of thing. In fact, the whole reason this subreddit was created to have a place to check into every day and just read a few new blog posts. /r/gamedev is good for blogs, but I was looking for a more specific place to find 'em. \n So definitely submit your links as frequently as you'd like, it never hurts to have more content to read!","Summary: TVTropes is boring math. \n And when I say no one, I just mean those who don't find it interesting, EVERYONE can read what they want.\n\nPost: Tropes are a different category of things, I think. \nWhat is a monad in philosophy, or how do you go about deriving in math? These things -need- to be explained in order to be able to use them. But the tropes are just useless trivia that comes after a brief session of contemplation. There's nothing revealing about it, and it doesn't help anything in any way, I don't think. Perhaps if you were a writer. \n Again, not that there's anything wrong with trivia of any kind. I still just can't see the appeal. Perhaps there are some deep tropes, such as the main character always wears his watch on his left hand, set to the time of birth of the character he is going to fall in love with; that's things that I'd like to learn about, because it reveals more about something. \n If words were always utterly self explanatory, , without needing context, a dictionary wouldn’t be necessary, or if everyone knew how to derive, without reading a math manual, we wouldn’t need the manual and it would not be helpful in anyway to read. How interesting is a math book when the point of it is trying to explain how 1 + 1=2 and 2 – 1 = 1 works. . The book wouldn’t be any good to read, because everyone can tell that that’s how it works. Derivation needs manual and classes because it’s a complex equation and it’s not evident at first glance how to solve em. Words need definition in order to be able use them . \n But TVTropes isn’t like that, no one wants to read about how 1 + 1 makes 2, because it’s fairly obvious.","Summary: They make enough money off the other customers who tip graciously (barring foreigners and assholes) , and make especially more money than the folks busting their asses to make their food. I don't have a problem tipping poorly should they deserve it, in some way or another.\n\nPost: I personally don't feel the need to tip very well when I don't feel like they deserve it. \n I used to work in a kitchen, and though we made more than them as far as wages go, they'd get at least 75 bucks more than I would a shift. Sometimes as high as 150. They'd get paid more when they were busy, but we'd also have to work just as hard as they did, if not more, and we'd get paid the same shitty wage. \n There was a tip out every week for us, but generally it didn't get much higher than 80 bucks extra a week. \n A hypothetical situation: A person gets a main dish for say 10 plus tax, and each drink works out to be at least 3 bucks, since you average out the alcoholic drinks. 2 people would be roughly 26 bucks, a 5 person table'd be like 60ish. \n Let's assume there's a 5 hour shift, and they get 5 tables. Within 30 minutes they'd get filled up, since it's the lunch rush. A 20 dollar bill, a 40, an 80, a 50 and finally a 100 bill. That's 1hr30 max of serving these tables. If they only made 10% average per bill, that'd be 29 bucks in an hour and a half, compared to my 16 as a cook. \n I honestly don't feel bad when I tip poorly for some abstract reason, they don't need it as much as I do. If it's a small greasy-spoon style restaurant, I'd tip more, but otherwise, they're doing just fine.","Summary: The whole thing just seems wrong because it's the perfect storm of value-clashing. \n And finally, of course there's something wrong with an uncle slipping into his room at night and fondling him, holding him hostage to the fear of reprisal. That's rape, and it's wrong, whether it happens to a child or an adult. I'm referring to the consentual child adult relationship, which I defend as being okay, though please avoid. \n \n I'm not going to lie, I didn't read through that to make sure it makes sense, so try now to think about it too hard. Glad you appreciated the 'phooey' line, it's nice to know I'm speaking with someone with maturity!\n\nPost: Thank you too, for the conversation. \n It's just that I am not convince that any sort of relationship between a 8/14 year and an adult NECESSARILY harms the child. Sure it seems wrong, but I want to press on why that is. \n For example, if a girl gives her virginity away to a 40 year old dude at 13, or whenever, and there was no vaginal damage, she is not pregnant or infected, AND (this is a big 'and') she was never told that she has been violated, instead she just treats it like any experience; I don't think there would be any harm. \n Thinking about it, there's a few reasons I think it's so messed up (even to me, even if I am asking weird questions). Of course this is just my opinion, but I do have 4 years as a psych student by the way. \n I think we still treat sex as sacred in some way, even though as little as we do; we still call a promiscuous girl a whore. We still treat having sex as a big deal. We really shouldn't. It's a physical act, nothing more. Sure it represents a ton of stuff, but where do you think that stuff comes from? I say it comes from our values, which are still biased on among other things, traditional christian values, whether we like it or not. \n I agree that a 14 year old child doesn't have the same awareness as an adult, but assuming there's not risk, as above, what's the problem? You don't have as a wide of a worldview as a 60 year old. Might be a bad comparison though, I was never very good with 'em. \n I'm not convinced that a child MUST be affected in a negative way if they were introduced to sex early. All I see happening is they'd have a more relaxed view on the whole thing. \n Oh, and yeah, legally a child cannot give consent, but that's the law. The same law that bans underage marijuana and driving horses through Toronto on Sunday. I just mean it's not right if it's illegal.","Summary: The video really seemed like an overreaction to me, and I had trouble sitting through it, no matter how good the intentions were\n\nPost: I should mention I've never played any Call of Juarez game, AND I agree that the kill 40 people achievement does sound racist but : \n Is a game where you kill only black people and or mexican people really different than killing only white people in a game? Did anyone really expect the game to be truthful representation of the reality in mexico? \n He raises interesting points in that he's outraged and furious that it doesn't add anything to the genre, but I don't think the game is out to be a history lesson, and why should it? \n I sat through the whole thing, but I really wanted to turn it off. I don't live in the States or Mexico so maybe it doesn't hit as close to home for me as it might for some of you, but jeez he's getting really worked up about it. I mean Techland isn't a really respected dev, nor was CoJ2 ( or 3, I'm not keeping track) really advertised to be a game changer. \n Of course there'd be a person who actually thinks mexicans are trying to steal american women because he just played it. There are people who try to kill prostitutes and run people over in their car because they saw it in a game, why is that any less disgusting?","Summary: Gaming has gotten to the point where we don't need to pretend that there's just one big banner of happy geeks, in order for the game industry to succeed.\n\nPost: I guess I'm elitist, because sure, crap like FarmVille and Mafia Wars, and the Sims and Peggle are games and people who play games are gamers, but I don't care for that type of person at all. \n A casual gamer is not a true gamer, there needs to be a better distinction. \n Less casual gamers means more games like Dark Souls and Tribes, where it's actually hard to win and succeed, and therefore you get more out of it. It's like when I hear people complaining that games are too hard and they're being cheated out of content because of the difficulty. That's just ludicrous. True gaming relies on natural skill progression, not the ability to sit back and press a button to win. \n Same with music games, when people don't want to beat the entire game to have access to all the 'songs they paid for'. Use cheats, don't take the fun of unlocking stuff away from the rest of us.","Summary: Why do you feel that virtual is less than physical? I don't think you'll be able to find any real answer that doesn't end it 'It just is, okay?'. If you ever ever find yourself in a situation that you can't give an articulate, concrete answer, you're probably in the wrong, or in the very least, not thinking for yourself.\n\nPost: You're going to need to think really deeply about yourself and your opinions. What makes video gaming any less valuable then physical sports? What does the fact that the people are using their body instead their minds add, in anyway to the value of the activity? \n Both activities need practice to get good at, both activities have heros and famous players. Both set of players can make money off the activity and both activites have 100s of thousands of fans, if not more.","Summary: opting out of offensive one-liners\n\nPost: Personally, If I still played, I'd buy the pack. I'm glad people are trying to push the envelope a bit on this one. \n I can see why people might find this offensive, so I'd suggest that HoN gets an option to disable certain voice packs. Buyers could hear it if they bought it, and those who don't want to be offended can live without hearing it. \n That seems like the most sensible option.","Summary: You can simplify nearly any two groups and arrive at any conclusion you want. But on a very shallow level, you're right; just on any level deeper than that, you're wrong.\n\nPost: Gawker \n It's being banned because there's nothing of value there, to use a bit of an exaggeration. I guess you're right though \n >creepshots \n The pictures aren't used against the girls in any way. It's not usually done for anything other than they're attractive. Doxxing someone is malicious and out to harm someone directly or indirectly. I can see where you can simplify it to reach your point, but it's not the same. \n >gossip \n For sure, but remember that celebrities are only related to people IRL by the fact that they're a movie star and they've seen them. People on reddit have histories, either for being a good source of something or were part of a meme at some point. Again, there's a difference. \n >atheists \n Because it's a popular subreddit and that's what happens to any subreddit. I'm sure /r/truereligion and /r/trueatheism would be pretty similar. \n >fox news \n I don't know enough about journalism \n >CoD \n Cosmetic changes versus slightly more significant changes. It's a bigger argument that I've got time for here, but new levels and weapons aren't the same, though again it's very similar on the surface if you simplify it. Try counting the differences between CoD4 and Cod9 and the differences between Pkmn the-ones-after-gold. There'll be a bigger difference for pokemon. New weapons/maps == new pokemon/worlds, but new types, breeding, doubles etc are more significant changes. 2d to 3d etc. \n >nationalism \n There are differences between countries and there is such a thing as zealous nationalism.","Summary: Remember, I'm not saying blacks are dumb, and I'm not saying asians are smart, I'm saying there has to be a bigger difference among the races than the shape of their body. It's a ridiculous assumption that the differences between an asian male and an african-american are only skin deep. \n It's almost like treating the human beings as something more than a biological machine, just plain ignorant. \n PS, if the appropriate tests were taken though, I'd be more than happy to admit that humans are magical creatures, different than literally every other animal on earth, I just don't think that's a reasonable assumption to make\n\nPost: And don't bullshit me about \"asking an innocent question.\" You were defending that Hellhammer quote, arguing against OP's statement of its ridiculousness. Ergo, eat shit. \n Since we're making this personal, you're unable to think critically about anything that remotely resembles challenging your feel-good beliefs. You're the kind of new-age atheist that shits all over christians because they believe in something greater than them, taking pride in squashing their faith, don't you? \n Anyways! If you'd take a close look, he's comparing two different species of animals. A dog comparison is more accurate, because they're the same animal, but bred differently right? Humans have lived in a multitude of different environments, which undoubtedly affected the way a certain group had adapted. Certainly the aptitude to learn could be one of them. \n You're right though, intelligence is way too broad of a concept to just write off with one number. That's why you'd take a large enough sample, and study that. You'd do your best to find the most equal assortment of people, in terms of socio-economic level, and ask them all the same questions. You'd then do any number of statisical tests, including ANOVA and of course descriptives, and you would see if any sort of data pops out at you. \n It would be subtle as shit though. \n The questions you'd ask wouldn't be too revolutionary though I'd say, it'd really be the analysis that would be instead. The problem is that no one wants to be the dude who says racial group X is less smart than racial group Y.","Summary: My focus is on this subreddit, and this subreddit alone. His business in other places should not, and will not, have an impact on how I choose to react to his actions here.\n\nPost: You raise good points actually. \n >lead by example \n Exactly, I'm giving everyone equal opportunity, I'm making a hasty judgement. All he has done is make one terrible joke, and if he makes another, he'll face the consequences ( a comment ban). I will not go on an anti-pedo campaign simply because he's made one comment that people didn't find funny. It takes a lot to offend me, and you'll see how that affects who I choose to ban or not. \n >Why would I post my creepy PMs here if I know I might be welcomed by creepy comments? \n I should have been more clear on the intention of the sub. I didn't mean for the sub to become some sort of safeheaven, uber-PC place. I intended for it just to share the creepy-ass PMs some of us get. There's some really good places people have built for those sorts of shelters. I think /r/TwoXChromosomes is a great candidate for that. \n I will not censor some people because they essentially cannot make a good joke. \n I've really enjoyed the discussion we've had, but unfortunately we are not going to come to an agreement. Your stand is that he is a pedo and he made a pedo comment, and should be banned, while all I'm seeing is a shitty joke.","Summary: I expected Constellations to be like Messengers, and it wasn't so I didn't like it as much. Other people who weren't expecting anything from it will have a different opinion. \n I liked AILD's Ocean Between Us more than everything preceding it, because I started with that album. Fans of the band prior to the release of that album are allowed to say aOBU wasn't as good as the stuff before it, because they were expecting something else, as I was from Constellations.^^Motherfucking_China_in_here\n\nPost: Oh please. \n Listen, if you hear a band develop it's sound over the years, and grow accustomed to their sound, like at first maybe you didn't the way the drums snare or something, but then you found that suddenly you loved it, you've adapted your ear or whatever to it. Not the best example but still. \n So take Messengers and Thrill Seeker. Two similarish albums, with my personal opinion being that Messengers is superior, have a sort of sound that I like. Then constellations comes out, with fewer breakdowns and different type of vocals than I was used to with the last two albums, of course I wouldn't like it. \n The latest two albums are fine in their own right, and I can't blame anyone just starting to get into ABR to like those two more. They didn't get hooked on the original ABR sound, they instead had a larger album list to choose from, and chose the one they like best based on a bias free opinion (as far as a preference to one album over another). I'm sure if started with Constellations and Leveller, I'd choose them over the first two.","Summary: Meh, food's aight\n\nPost: 100% would not, fuck that.

And fills me the fuck up at three or more separate times a day. So long as it smells fucking great. So long as I can waste time doing it.

Does normalizing it speed to process up?\n\nPost: I'm making an ASP.NET MVC4 site, and I'm very new to SQL in general. I'm using a LocalDB, from what I can tell, and after creating the Model to add to a table, it takes around 20 minutes to add all the models to the table. This is a process that does not need to be done very often at all, and so 20 minutes is bearable, but I would like to know if it could be optimized at all. \n I can split up the data a bit into different tables, and I will be doing that soon, but before I do, is there a speed benefit to do so, in regards to adding the data to the table?","Summary: Futureshop tech support, pays good?\n\nPost: Hey, I'm considering a job at a place like Futureshop or Best Buy, in Canada, to be like a Geek on the Go or whatever and I'm trying to figure out if it pays well, and isn't a shitty job to do. What kind of money does it pay, and what the work day is like. Currently I'm a fry cook at a restaurant making just above minimum, and I think I'd like a more IT oriented job with a decent pay.","Summary: fill in gap shown in the bottom red circle.\n\nPost: EDIT seems like all I have to do is, instead of sticky'ing W+E, on the label widget in lbl2frame, just have E instead. not sure how that helps, when W+E didn't though. \n \n [First off, here's a picture of the problem]( and [here's it in action]( I've set the bg of the frames to colors to illustrate the issue. \n The red circle shows the difference between the two frames, and the green circle shows the real problem is the size of the label(due to text content being different length) \n What I want is for both lbl1 and lbl2 frames, the widgets be the same size, even though they are dealing with different content. I don't want any gaps, or in otherwords, I don't want any part of Frame being shown behind lbl2, and it is in lbl1. \n The issue is cause by different lengths on the labels, but I'm not sure how to solve it. I've got all the widgets and frames set to Sticky=W+E. I'm avoiding mincolumnspan, because I don't think that that would be very dynamic, unless there was some way to get the column sizes of different frames maybe. Any takers? \n Both frames and widgets are built by the same code: \n frame = Frame(self)\n lbl1Frame = Frame(frame)\n lbl1Frame.config(bg='blue')\n lbl2Frame = Frame(frame)\n lbl2Frame.config(bg='red')\n btnFrame = Frame(frame)\n btnFrame.config(bg='yellow')\n #setup Labels\n a = self.makeLabel(lbl1Frame, 'name')\n b = self.makeLabel(lbl2Frame, 'entry')\n self.lbl = [a, b] \n #setup Entrys\n a = self.makeEntry(lbl1Frame, 'name')\n b = self.makeEntry(lbl2Frame, 'entry')\n self.ent = [a, b]\n\n #setup Button\n self.makeButton(btnFrame, nameorentry)\n\n frame.grid(sticky=W+E)\n lbl1Frame.grid(sticky=W+E)\n lbl2Frame.grid(sticky=W+E)\n btnFrame.grid()\n \n I figure it's because the lbl2frame isn't being stretched to fit inside frame properly, or it is, but the widgets aren't stretching too.","Summary: Advertising for people looking to learn basic guitar skills, from \"WTF is a guitar\" to advanced 'Why is the neck of my guitar on fire!?' at 15 bucks a half hour! \n \n Thanks for reading, PM for address, and further contact info, if interested or in need additional details. \n *I should add that what I really enjoy playing is metalcore, stuff like August Burns Red, As I Lay Dying and As Blood Runs Red, but rock/blues is great too!\n\nPost: Hey guys, I'm not sure where to put this, but I didn't see anything in the sidebar. \n I'm looking for absolute beginners to teach basic chords, scales, music theory and songs. Then we could move to advanced scales and techniques, with a focus on rock/blues* style. All I ask is that you bring a guitar and are eager to learn! \n I recently started teaching a friend of a friend to play guitar, and realized it is something I enjoy doing, so I'm looking to r/Ottawa to see if anyone is looking for lessons, or knows someone who is. Keep in mind that I'm no prodigy, just a student looking to share guitar! \n The teaching would happen in my apartment, which is just near uOttawa towards the market, at weekly intervals. The sessions can run as short as 30 mins to as long as 90, at your discretion! \n I don't charge for the first session, because that's really the time that you and I get a feel for each other, and if it doesn't work out, why would that be worth your money? \n It also doesn't matter if you have a lefty or righty guitar. \n Any takers?

Two are internal SATA, and the newest one is eSata, which still works. \n So what happened was I installed the latest Catalyst driver for my system, but in the last portion of the install, it failed and said something like \"error during install, could not be completed\", but I didn't have to restart, so I figured it was okay to keep going. (I realize this is a terrible idea, but I was planning on fixing it in a minute). \n So anyways, I was about 15 minutes into a game of Starcraft 2 about an hour later or so, and the game froze, along with my entire PC, which doesn't usually happen (couldn't alt tab or move mouse), so I hit the button on the case to restart the PC. Loaded up another game of SC2, and didn't last a minute before the PC froze up again. \n When I went to reboot, the PC had a black screen, and said something like please insert a bootable drive/disk. So I restarted and looked into the BIOS settings to see if it could detect anything, which it couldn't. \n I haven't ran any memtests or chkdsk, but I have removed the oldest, and likely failing HDD, but still no luck on boot.","Summary: I write a bot, steal your karma, win the lottery.\n\nPost: A real problem with this subreddit is that it's basically focussed on self promotion, which we love to do and read here, but that often upsets the spam filters, and if you post your own too much, you run the unfortunate risk of getting shadowbanned. \n What do you folks think about a bot that'd accept either links, and would auto post them for you, saving you the trouble of a) having to submit each and every post b) risk getting banned for self promotion \n Downsides are that it'd take time to maintain, you couldn't look through your own submitted content to swipe through your own submissions, since it'd be done under the bot's (my) account. It might also be against reddit's rules to use one account to submit many people's content, but I'm not sure about that. \n We could start simple and manually send me the links and I'd post it for you.

I had initially set out to make a game in under a month,\nbecause the [last game]( I had made took two years, and\nalthough I've had some good [Let's\nPlays]( done, there was still a\nlot of work to be done. I wanted something I could put out quickly and maybe\neven get some recognition for, as [Bioch]( was fun, but it was too hard to get\ninto and doesn't get more niche than roguelikes. \n [Final game, mid fight]( \n Inspired by the old flash games where you punch a president's face for a while\nas it gets bloodier and bloodier, I started reading up on different Android\nframeworks I could use. Now, I've never done anything in Java, so I just\nstarted by getting an Eclipse Android project set up, and I got as far as\nsetting up Hello World on the emulator before deciding that I'm okay with not\nknowing Java, and found [Cocos2d-x]( this fantastic framework\nthat lets you write C++ and then uses the JNI to transpile into bytecode and\nthen builds you an apk. Even cooler, I was able to get it building for iOS\ntoo, with very little effort. \n [Before UI, coming together]( \n The framework \n The problem with Cocos2dx though, is that it's not developed by native English\nspeaking devs, and since it was primarily based on it's sister framework, the\nObjective-C cocos2d platform, much of the information online is written in\nObjective-C instead. I've actually contributed a\n[rewrite]( or two of\ntheir programmer's manual, and helped port a [cocos2dx\nplugin]( in order to make it\neasier for other devs to get into it. Not to harp on it too much, but Cocos2dx\nreally is fantastic and takes care of so much stuff for you that it's almost\ntoo easy to get a simple app going. \n [Before the UI, just hanging out]( \n Thanks to Cocos2dx's open source codebase, I was able to step through most\nof the issues I had with it, most notably this strange issue with Visual\nStudio where if I checked out a different git commit for the sake of\ndebugging, going back to the latest commit, the build would run this distorted\nversion of itself. Eventually I realized I just needed to relink the cocos2dx\nlibrary and VS would figure itself out. Another issue I had was that\ncocos2dx's project settings copied your assets over from the common folder to\nthe windows/android/ios platform folders as you build to project which is\nawesome if you change the assets as you update your codebase too, but if you\never need to change your assets without changing the code, no build action\ntakes place, and the xcopy command never gets run. Other than making a\nsystem call from the C++ code to copy the resources over each time I build, I\ncopied the post build event handling into the post link event, and bound the\nLink Project keys to Ctrl Shift G so that I'd only need to hit Ctrl Shift G\nafter I'd updated my sprites or shaders, instead of recompiling my game. Made\na world of difference. \n The way it feels \n So like I said, I wanted to make a game that your every day person could play\nand enjoy. This meant that it had to be simple. I wanted to make a game that\nyou'd play in 10 minute bursts. That meant it'd have to be a small and tight\ngame. Finally, it'd need to be fun despite the simplicity. That meant it'd\nhave to feel really good to play. So what steps did I take to try to make a\nfun, simple game with great gamefeel? \n I watched Juice it or lose it . You need to\nmake mask that you're really only manipulating a set of variables. Each little\nbit of polish moves you a little bit away from the spreadsheet towards this\nexperience that the players want to go to. If you don't add an animation here,\nor a particle effect there, you're not keeping the illusion up, or worse\nyou're breaking the flow. This goes both ways though, too much of animation\ncan slow things down and the player spends more time watching something\nhappen, than making something happen. I know how much I prefer playing over\nwatching in games, so I tried to keep those lapses in action to a minimum. \n Mid fight, assets are 100% mine \n Here's an example of how game feel in my game works. Take a look at this video of it\nearly in development [here](\nwithout screenshake, sound effect and immediate facial reactions Just look at\nhow boring the first game looks. You don't want to spend any time playing it,\ndo you? It looks like you'd be wasting your time. But\n[here]( it is with all those\nlittle things. It looks way more interesting and punches look like they\nactually do something. \n UI and polish \n As they say, the first 90% of the game was getting the game working, getting\nthe menus and UI to work properly, but the last 90% was adding polish to\neverything. I just want to talk for a second about how much effort it takes to\nmake a simple menu, even when the framework you're using adds buttons with\ncallbacks for you anyway. As a person who spends enough time using HTML, you\nforget how much stuff there is to get wrong about UIs. But dude, you're\nsaying, you just need to hook it up so if you click on the button something\nhappens! I say you're right, but making sure the button is in the right spot,\nthat it's bound to the right thing, that it says the right thing, that when\nthe context changes the button changes, or even does what it does when you\ntell it to are all things you need to worry about. Not to mention scaling\nacross different resolutions and text sizes. \n Beyond that, the in game UI changed a lot too. I first made sure everything\nlooked right, in the proper spot and did the right thing, but then I went and\ngave the things the polish, so the weapons do this little launching effect,\nthe fist buffs change the combo cooldown bars, the progress bars have that\ntrailing white bar, different actions have different sound effects, so\npunching the wall sounds different than punching the face sounds different\nthan punching the air. Making it so critical hits feel differently than just\nthe regular hits. Having the face's attack change depending on whether you're\nblocking or not. The game would not feel as fun as it does unless those things\nwere all in, but the kicker is that if you hadn't told the player that they\nexisted, they never would have noticed. The game as it is now is still rough\naround edges, the menus are pretty boring to look at, and there's not loading\nscreen when the game starts up, so there's just a blank screen for a second or\ntwo, but it's come a long way from where it started out. \n [Mid fight, first few months of the game]( \n What the game was going to be \n Something I struggled with, after I'd decided that I want this to be a sincere\ngame, instead of a one off, is that I'd need to make the game legitimate in\nit's design. I'd need a win state and a lose state. I'd need goals and\nunlocks. It needs to look, sound, and feel good. Initially it was one face\nyou'd punch over and over, earning coins to buy more combos, but that wasn't\nenough to keep you interested, so I added more things to buy in the shop,\nincluding the ability to charge up a fist, and in the interest of integrating\nthat into the game, I added the charging fist as part of the combos. \n Instead of Left, Right, Left punch, it might be Left, Right, Charge Left,\nRight, but that led to a strange pause in the flow of the game. It wasn't fun\nor rewarding to stop everything for half a second just to get a combo going,\nthere was more interesting things to do. I tried adding temporary buffs like\nincreased damage, and reducing the time it'd take for the charged punch to\ncomplete, but that wasn't enough either. I decided to add more things, like a\nrocket launcher, a grenade, and a variety of effects you could apply to your\nfists, to motivate people to earn more coins to keep them playing, but I\ncouldn't keep people interested in playing for more than 30 seconds. \n Realizing that there wasn't a good way to keep the game interesting beyond\ncompletely overhauling the fighting mechanics, I decided to break the shop\ndown and move from one face forever, to levels with objectives and unlocks,\nwhile the shop still has the temporary buffs. This has the benefit of keeping\nthe fights short, quick turn around on the unlockables, and I can add more\nvariation to the faces between levels than I could altering one face as it got\nmore beat up. But I'd need art. \n Even working alone, there's a team \n I couldn't produce any art on my own, and the\n[artist]( I had worked with for BiochRL was busy, so I\nturned to reddit to get an artist. After talking to a bunch of very talented\npeople, I decided on going with an artist, surfinbirdzx who was able to draw\nout what I was looking for. It was nice because even with a language barrier\nand a limited set of instructions I sent his way, he was able to turn it into\nwhat you see here. Although it took some time from my initial email to his\nresponse, the quality was topnotch. \n From sketch to final \n He gave me sketches, asked for feedback and fleshed them out really well. As\nbefore, it was great to work with someone who is able to take feedback and\nwork with me to make something great. All in all, it cost me about 800$ to get\nthe UI, backgrounds, logo and faces. \n For the music, I asked [djsirgold]( for some\nhelp with the music, who offered to do it for free, because like me, he just\nwanted to work on something other people would enjoy. He sent me some menu\nmusic, a transition clip and a fight theme, along with a sweet shop theme. No\none could have captured the intensity of the game contrasted with the relaxing\nshop theme like he did. \n I grabbed most of the sound effects off [FreeSound]( and\n[SoundBible]( and had a friend throw a few more together\nto really make those punches sound like they hurt. \n I wouldn't have been able to make the game feel as good without the help of\nthese dudes, so that was awesome. \n For testing, I brought the build nearly daily to my friends who'd give me\nhelpful feedback, about how things worked nicely or how they didn't feel fun\nto play, who told me whether or not something was too easy, or too repetitive.\nMore than that though, it was really important for me to have a group of\npeople to show my game off too. With BiochRL, I needed to drag them over to my\ndesk and sit them down; with my android app, I could whip out my phone and\nharass them no matter where they were. I have no doubt that there was a point\nwhere they were probably sick of me asking 'Hey, have you seen my game'\nbecause invariably it was 'yeah, you showed it to me this morning'. \n Keeping it going \n Commits to the repo \n Having people try out the game regularly kept me on track. I'd try to work on\nit as much as I could, but knowing that the next day I could have some people\nto show the game off to was an incredible motivator for me. I worked on Beatup\npart time, which meant that I spent most of my weekends on the game, but \n I wanted to get this game done, because as you know, [finishing a game is a\nskill]( so I\nendeavored to make a commit every day and get my game done. It wasn't always\nfun, but I knew at the end of the week I didn't have to make those small 5\nchanges I did throughout the week, and I could work on something else instead.\nSort of like the opposite of a death by a thousand cuts, I chipped away at the\ngame, piece by piece. \n My current streak is 99 days, but that's not exactly right, some of those commits are just a\nline of whitespace, just barely enough to count as a commit, just so that my\nattention was on my game for at least 5 minutes that day. \n What's next? \n I'm not really sure. I'm going to keep fixing the bugs that crop up, but I'd\nlike to still add more to it. There's a lot of room in the macro feature\nspace, like I'd like to add some sort of base building mechanic to give the\ncoins even more meaning. Other than that I'd like to try to make a new game,\none with some story, something that doesn't get made too often, but it's hard\nto think of exactly what. \n All I can say is that it was an amazing 11 months, even if it wasn't the\nbreakout hit I was hoping, and I'm stoked to spend another year on my next one\nwith all the stuff I've learned, given that I've built myself a decent\nplatform to work on now.","Summary: My [game's alpha build]( has had a player's save file get corrupted, and I'm hoping to get some help from you guys to reproduce it so I can fix it.\n\nPost: I'm working on an incremental game, [Build up the base]( and there's some sort of save file corruption happening. \n Across the 15 or so people in the alpha so far, it's only happened to one person, but I'm pretty intent on figuring out why it happened. I figure if I had a few people trying their best to break the save game somehow I'll have a better chance of understanding why it happened. \n The game's designed for Android right now, so I'm thinking the way the phone deals with filesystem write access when the game is in the background changes maybe. The last thing I changed that would affect the save file is autosaving when the game gets minimized or otherwise loses user focus. \n So the best way to test, if you're interested at all, is to play for a minute, then close the game in weird ways. Maybe open a notification, hit the 'alt-tab' circle button if you've got one, or shut the game off some other weird way. Not exactly sure how the corruption could happen, but it's definitely something I never want to have anyone experience again. \n You'll notice the game save being corrupted when you come back and you've got no building upgrades, resources, or technologies, but you'll still have your coins and total kills in The Arena. \n Here's a [Google Play Alpha link]( It'll 404 the first time you accept the link at the bottom.

Taking a picture and drawing that in there is not racist by itself. \\n You're assigning racism to it because you're aware of the history. Now that the history isn't relevant anymore it's time to put it behind you and treat it as it is; a funny picture. \\n Same with Blackface, while I'm at it. Not all, but some black people have dark skin and the red lips are made more noticeable because of that contrast. Sure, it USED to be racist, but is it anymore? White people should be able to dress up as black people. There's a painfully obvious difference in skintone, and it's not fair that both parties have to ignore that, based on old concepts. \\n Racism had it's place in the history books and the south, why keep it alive? \\n Sorta like swear words I guess. By themselves they have no meaning, so if two kids are called each other fucking cunts or whatever, they're just saying it because it's a novel word to them, but if their parents would overhear them, they'd get called out for swearing, because of the power the parent put into the word.\",\n \"Summary: Words change. and by choosing to be offended when someone in a multiplayer game calls you names, you're only adding to its power.

There's a history behind the word, but that doesn't matter,you're an adult. In an online game, someone calling you a dipshit, noob or even a faggot shouldn't bother you, even if you are dumb, inexperienced or a homosexual. \\n I'm not going to get into here, because I had a massive discussion with other folks earlier, but words only have power given to them by you. The example was 'op is a fag'. When you call OP a fag, you're not calling him gay, you're just saying that he's got the qualities that you associate with other OPs who get told the same thing. \\n Sure it started out as an anti-gay thing, but this is 201x, that doesn't happen as much. If a word can be turned into a negative (see: gay/happy -> homosexual) why can't a gay bashing word be turned into something neutral, or at least not anti-gay (see nigger -> my nigga).\",\n \"Summary: Basically, my point is that a job is just a way to make money.

There are none. \\n There are certainly elements that make a game 'good', but maybe not in the same way you are thinking. A game needs to be technically competent, engaging, and interesting. \\n I've stopped treating sales as evidence of good games, since advertising, brand recognition, brand investment and peer pressure start playing a role in who buys what games. \\n Consider a game that has a niche following: it was made to appeal to a small group of people, say like 25k people. But since it did so well, selling way more than the estimate, a sequel gets green-lit. Now, since if you're not growing you're dying, you want to appeal to more people, so you take away some of the niche-ness and add some more usability and simplicity to the original, and then that game sells 100k copies. \\n The threequel is being made now, but for the new 75k people (and beyond) , not the original 25k any more. The louder majority you speak of is probably the folks that were part of the 25k, the folks that have been following the series from day 1, and have been watching it change into a mainstream variation of the idea it used to love. \\n The 'majority' of people love the easy to understand, simple stuff; the developers make games for that majority, in order to make money.

Sure it seems wrong, but I want to press on why that is. \\n For example, if a girl gives her virginity away to a 40 year old dude at 13, or whenever, and there was no vaginal damage, she is not pregnant or infected, AND (this is a big 'and') she was never told that she has been violated, instead she just treats it like any experience; I don't think there would be any harm. \\n Thinking about it, there's a few reasons I think it's so messed up (even to me, even if I am asking weird questions). Of course this is just my opinion, but I do have 4 years as a psych student by the way. \\n I think we still treat sex as sacred in some way, even though as little as we do; we still call a promiscuous girl a whore.

I say it comes from our values, which are still biased on among other things, traditional christian values, whether we like it or not. \\n I agree that a 14 year old child doesn't have the same awareness as an adult, but assuming there's not risk, as above, what's the problem? You don't have as a wide of a worldview as a 60 year old. Might be a bad comparison though, I was never very good with 'em. \\n I'm not convinced that a child MUST be affected in a negative way if they were introduced to sex early.

True gaming relies on natural skill progression, not the ability to sit back and press a button to win. \\n Same with music games, when people don't want to beat the entire game to have access to all the 'songs they paid for'.

I had initially set out to make a game in under a month,\\nbecause the [last game]( I had made took two years, and\\nalthough I've had some good [Let's\\nPlays]( done, there was still a\\nlot of work to be done. I wanted something I could put out quickly and maybe\\neven get some recognition for, as [Bioch]( was fun, but it was too hard to get\\ninto and doesn't get more niche than roguelikes. \\n [Final game, mid fight]( \\n Inspired by the old flash games where you punch a president's face for a while\\nas it gets bloodier and bloodier, I started reading up on different Android\\nframeworks I could use. Now, I've never done anything in Java, so I just\\nstarted by getting an Eclipse Android project set up, and I got as far as\\nsetting up Hello World on the emulator before deciding that I'm okay with not\\nknowing Java, and found [Cocos2d-x]( this fantastic framework\\nthat lets you write C++ and then uses the JNI to transpile into bytecode and\\nthen builds you an apk. Even cooler, I was able to get it building for iOS\\ntoo, with very little effort. \\n [Before UI, coming together]( \\n The framework \\n The problem with Cocos2dx though, is that it's not developed by native English\\nspeaking devs, and since it was primarily based on it's sister framework, the\\nObjective-C cocos2d platform, much of the information online is written in\\nObjective-C instead. I've actually contributed a\\n[rewrite]( or two of\\ntheir programmer's manual, and helped port a [cocos2dx\\nplugin]( in order to make it\\neasier for other devs to get into it. Not to harp on it too much, but Cocos2dx\\nreally is fantastic and takes care of so much stuff for you that it's almost\\ntoo easy to get a simple app going. \\n [Before the UI, just hanging out]( \\n Thanks to Cocos2dx's open source codebase, I was able to step through most\\nof the issues I had with it, most notably this strange issue with Visual\\nStudio where if I checked out a different git commit for the sake of\\ndebugging, going back to the latest commit, the build would run this distorted\\nversion of itself. Eventually I realized I just needed to relink the cocos2dx\\nlibrary and VS would figure itself out. Another issue I had was that\\ncocos2dx's project settings copied your assets over from the common folder to\\nthe windows/android/ios platform folders as you build to project which is\\nawesome if you change the assets as you update your codebase too, but if you\\never need to change your assets without changing the code, no build action\\ntakes place, and the xcopy command never gets run. Other than making a\\nsystem call from the C++ code to copy the resources over each time I build, I\\ncopied the post build event handling into the post link event, and bound the\\nLink Project keys to Ctrl Shift G so that I'd only need to hit Ctrl Shift G\\nafter I'd updated my sprites or shaders, instead of recompiling my game. Made\\na world of difference. \\n The way it feels \\n So like I said, I wanted to make a game that your every day person could play\\nand enjoy. This meant that it had to be simple. I wanted to make a game that\\nyou'd play in 10 minute bursts. That meant it'd have to be a small and tight\\ngame. Finally, it'd need to be fun despite the simplicity. That meant it'd\\nhave to feel really good to play. So what steps did I take to try to make a\\nfun, simple game with great gamefeel? \\n I watched Juice it or lose it . You need to\\nmake mask that you're really only manipulating a set of variables. Each little\\nbit of polish moves you a little bit away from the spreadsheet towards this\\nexperience that the players want to go to. If you don't add an animation here,\\nor a particle effect there, you're not keeping the illusion up, or worse\\nyou're breaking the flow. This goes both ways though, too much of animation\\ncan slow things down and the player spends more time watching something\\nhappen, than making something happen. I know how much I prefer playing over\\nwatching in games, so I tried to keep those lapses in action to a minimum. \\n Mid fight, assets are 100% mine \\n Here's an example of how game feel in my game works. Take a look at this video of it\\nearly in development [here](\\nwithout screenshake, sound effect and immediate facial reactions Just look at\\nhow boring the first game looks. You don't want to spend any time playing it,\\ndo you? It looks like you'd be wasting your time. But\\n[here]( it is with all those\\nlittle things. It looks way more interesting and punches look like they\\nactually do something. \\n UI and polish \\n As they say, the first 90% of the game was getting the game working, getting\\nthe menus and UI to work properly, but the last 90% was adding polish to\\neverything. I just want to talk for a second about how much effort it takes to\\nmake a simple menu, even when the framework you're using adds buttons with\\ncallbacks for you anyway. As a person who spends enough time using HTML, you\\nforget how much stuff there is to get wrong about UIs. But dude, you're\\nsaying, you just need to hook it up so if you click on the button something\\nhappens! I say you're right, but making sure the button is in the right spot,\\nthat it's bound to the right thing, that it says the right thing, that when\\nthe context changes the button changes, or even does what it does when you\\ntell it to are all things you need to worry about. Not to mention scaling\\nacross different resolutions and text sizes. \\n Beyond that, the in game UI changed a lot too. I first made sure everything\\nlooked right, in the proper spot and did the right thing, but then I went and\\ngave the things the polish, so the weapons do this little launching effect,\\nthe fist buffs change the combo cooldown bars, the progress bars have that\\ntrailing white bar, different actions have different sound effects, so\\npunching the wall sounds different than punching the face sounds different\\nthan punching the air. Making it so critical hits feel differently than just\\nthe regular hits. Having the face's attack change depending on whether you're\\nblocking or not. The game would not feel as fun as it does unless those things\\nwere all in, but the kicker is that if you hadn't told the player that they\\nexisted, they never would have noticed. The game as it is now is still rough\\naround edges, the menus are pretty boring to look at, and there's not loading\\nscreen when the game starts up, so there's just a blank screen for a second or\\ntwo, but it's come a long way from where it started out. \\n [Mid fight, first few months of the game]( \\n What the game was going to be \\n Something I struggled with, after I'd decided that I want this to be a sincere\\ngame, instead of a one off, is that I'd need to make the game legitimate in\\nit's design. I'd need a win state and a lose state. I'd need goals and\\nunlocks. It needs to look, sound, and feel good. Initially it was one face\\nyou'd punch over and over, earning coins to buy more combos, but that wasn't\\nenough to keep you interested, so I added more things to buy in the shop,\\nincluding the ability to charge up a fist, and in the interest of integrating\\nthat into the game, I added the charging fist as part of the combos. \\n Instead of Left, Right, Left punch, it might be Left, Right, Charge Left,\\nRight, but that led to a strange pause in the flow of the game. It wasn't fun\\nor rewarding to stop everything for half a second just to get a combo going,\\nthere was more interesting things to do. I tried adding temporary buffs like\\nincreased damage, and reducing the time it'd take for the charged punch to\\ncomplete, but that wasn't enough either. I decided to add more things, like a\\nrocket launcher, a grenade, and a variety of effects you could apply to your\\nfists, to motivate people to earn more coins to keep them playing, but I\\ncouldn't keep people interested in playing for more than 30 seconds. \\n Realizing that there wasn't a good way to keep the game interesting beyond\\ncompletely overhauling the fighting mechanics, I decided to break the shop\\ndown and move from one face forever, to levels with objectives and unlocks,\\nwhile the shop still has the temporary buffs. This has the benefit of keeping\\nthe fights short, quick turn around on the unlockables, and I can add more\\nvariation to the faces between levels than I could altering one face as it got\\nmore beat up. But I'd need art. \\n Even working alone, there's a team \\n I couldn't produce any art on my own, and the\\n[artist]( I had worked with for BiochRL was busy, so I\\nturned to reddit to get an artist. After talking to a bunch of very talented\\npeople, I decided on going with an artist, surfinbirdzx who was able to draw\\nout what I was looking for. It was nice because even with a language barrier\\nand a limited set of instructions I sent his way, he was able to turn it into\\nwhat you see here. Although it took some time from my initial email to his\\nresponse, the quality was topnotch. \\n From sketch to final \\n He gave me sketches, asked for feedback and fleshed them out really well. As\\nbefore, it was great to work with someone who is able to take feedback and\\nwork with me to make something great. All in all, it cost me about 800$ to get\\nthe UI, backgrounds, logo and faces. \\n For the music, I asked [djsirgold]( for some\\nhelp with the music, who offered to do it for free, because like me, he just\\nwanted to work on something other people would enjoy. He sent me some menu\\nmusic, a transition clip and a fight theme, along with a sweet shop theme. No\\none could have captured the intensity of the game contrasted with the relaxing\\nshop theme like he did. \\n I grabbed most of the sound effects off [FreeSound]( and\\n[SoundBible]( and had a friend throw a few more together\\nto really make those punches sound like they hurt. \\n I wouldn't have been able to make the game feel as good without the help of\\nthese dudes, so that was awesome. \\n For testing, I brought the build nearly daily to my friends who'd give me\\nhelpful feedback, about how things worked nicely or how they didn't feel fun\\nto play, who told me whether or not something was too easy, or too repetitive.\\nMore than that though, it was really important for me to have a group of\\npeople to show my game off too. With BiochRL, I needed to drag them over to my\\ndesk and sit them down; with my android app, I could whip out my phone and\\nharass them no matter where they were. I have no doubt that there was a point\\nwhere they were probably sick of me asking 'Hey, have you seen my game'\\nbecause invariably it was 'yeah, you showed it to me this morning'. \\n Keeping it going \\n Commits to the repo \\n Having people try out the game regularly kept me on track. I'd try to work on\\nit as much as I could, but knowing that the next day I could have some people\\nto show the game off to was an incredible motivator for me. I worked on Beatup\\npart time, which meant that I spent most of my weekends on the game, but \\n I wanted to get this game done, because as you know, [finishing a game is a\\nskill]( so I\\nendeavored to make a commit every day and get my game done. It wasn't always\\nfun, but I knew at the end of the week I didn't have to make those small 5\\nchanges I did throughout the week, and I could work on something else instead.\\nSort of like the opposite of a death by a thousand cuts, I chipped away at the\\ngame, piece by piece. \\n My current streak is 99 days, but that's not exactly right, some of those commits are just a\\nline of whitespace, just barely enough to count as a commit, just so that my\\nattention was on my game for at least 5 minutes that day. \\n What's next? \\n I'm not really sure. I'm going to keep fixing the bugs that crop up, but I'd\\nlike to still add more to it. There's a lot of room in the macro feature\\nspace, like I'd like to add some sort of base building mechanic to give the\\ncoins even more meaning. Other than that I'd like to try to make a new game,\\none with some story, something that doesn't get made too often, but it's hard\\nto think of exactly what. \\n All I can say is that it was an amazing 11 months, even if it wasn't the\\nbreakout hit I was hoping, and I'm stoked to spend another year on my next one\\nwith all the stuff I've learned, given that I've built myself a decent\\nplatform to work on now.\",\n \"Summary: My [game's alpha build]( has had a player's save file get corrupted, and I'm hoping to get some help from you guys to reproduce it so I can fix it.\\n\\nPost: I'm working on an incremental game, [Build up the base]( and there's some sort of save file corruption happening. \\n Across the 15 or so people in the alpha so far, it's only happened to one person, but I'm pretty intent on figuring out why it happened. I figure if I had a few people trying their best to break the save game somehow I'll have a better chance of understanding why it happened. \\n The game's designed for Android right now, so I'm thinking the way the phone deals with filesystem write access when the game is in the background changes maybe. The last thing I changed that would affect the save file is autosaving when the game gets minimized or otherwise loses user focus. \\n So the best way to test, if you're interested at all, is to play for a minute, then close the game in weird ways. Maybe open a notification, hit the 'alt-tab' circle button if you've got one, or shut the game off some other weird way. Not exactly sure how the corruption could happen, but it's definitely something I never want to have anyone experience again. \\n You'll notice the game save being corrupted when you come back and you've got no building upgrades, resources, or technologies, but you'll still have your coins and total kills in The Arena. \\n Here's a [Google Play Alpha link]( It'll 404 the first time you accept the link at the bottom.
