smh

[cyan oxide]

[wet cradle]

how would one

type the t word

for caliban

[cyan oxide]

Bad regex from cia agents

[dusty scarab]

[wet cradle]

adgearggrereg

i need to find a new frame

[dusty scarab]

But yeah chain lightning sniper rifle coming next week

Very excited

[wet cradle]

i can only handle so much melee

[dusty scarab]

Tempted to put together an Evade Harrow

Very funny stuff

[wet cradle]

ye its how i play him

with sporo

[hasty nova]

[subtle quail]

[dusty scarab]

@wet cradle Rolled this myself a bit ago

Decent

Could be better though

[wet cradle]

Not too bad

tho

corrosive gass is pretty good

[dusty scarab]

Blast Electric is funny

[wet cradle]

that too

[dusty scarab]

My favorite damage combo

[wet cradle]

blast went from the actual worst

to probably 2nd or 3rd best

[dusty scarab]

I fucking love blast

My favorite damage type in the game

[wet cradle]

heat is busted cuz of inhereit

electric is busted

viral is 'mandatory'

[dusty scarab]

Slash down bad

Heat dumpsters it

[wet cradle]

ye

they killed slash

[dusty scarab]

I mean it’s still fine it’s just not the end all be all anymore

I’m just glad you don’t have to put Hunter Munitions on everything now

[wet cradle]

hated that mod

[dusty scarab]

Very weird Hunter Munitions interaction with Zephyr Tornadoes and Sobek

Cause acid shells can’t crit right?

But the tornadoes can make acid shells crit

Which triggers Hunter Munitions

[wet cradle]

yea

its just

zephyr is a script nightmare

host?

enjoy dmg cap (fixed)

[dusty scarab]

Yeah they fixed that a while ago

[wet cradle]

Yeah but it was there

for like 2 years

[dusty scarab]

Yeah but let’s be real

I’ve been a Zephyr fan for ages but no one played her

[wet cradle]

i played her

bc she looks good

[dusty scarab]

So she flew under the radar for years

Yessir

[wet cradle]

one of the better looking primes

[dusty scarab]

I was a Zephyr fan since the beginning

[wet cradle]

oh hey

2nd acct hit 300

[dusty scarab]

First frame I ever crafted

[wet cradle]

i crafted zephyr

day 1

i hated my life

farming oxium

[dusty scarab]

I was in a clan that taxied me to a Pluto interception mission cause that was the best Oxium farm back in the day

I think it was Hierachon back then

[wet cradle]

Yeah i just

hated it

GOD I MISS OLD HYDROID

my boys and i

used to 4 hydroid on interception point

just actually afk as puddles

[dusty scarab]

Bro misses the puddle

[wet cradle]

LOL

3*

but yeah

[dusty scarab]

Crazy shit man

[wet cradle]

Legit we would afk

and just let them get piss puddled

[dusty scarab]

Big puddle man

[wet cradle]

tbh

this is my current brainrot build

cuz i hate recasting warcry

I SHOULD take steel charge off

but im lazy

[lean stump]

VaLKYR

[dusty scarab]

Love Valkyr

[wet cradle]

I tend to use her without 4 tho

and use hirudo

[lean stump]

my favourite is titania

[wet cradle]

i can only stand so much slide melee

[lean stump]

was good

[dusty scarab]

I'm using her 4 with Melee Vortex

Very funny stuff

[wet cradle]

[dusty scarab]

I tried playing her without Hysteria and it just didn't feel right

[wet cradle]

I always played her with hirudo

so it doesnt bother me much

the endurance valkyr build gives me brainrot

[dusty scarab]

BuT sHe HaS kNoCkDoWn ImMuNiTy In 4!

And then you get fucked the one time you're out of it

[wet cradle]

real

I hate her endurance build

you're just going in and out of passive

LOL

[dusty scarab]

Honestly this build is just funny

[wet cradle]

I can face tank lfvl 700 enemeis

and jsut sit there

its interesting

[dusty scarab]

Glaxion Beam

Into Talon swipe

[wet cradle]

[dusty scarab]

Pull in all the stuff

Ripline into the pack

Just feels right

[wet cradle]

i also like my saryn build

just full enhance

[wet cradle]

I wish they gave her 1 a little bit of magnetism

Like oraxias throw weapon

[dusty scarab]

I mean her 1 pulls in enemies

[wet cradle]

yeah

only if you hit

tho

It doesnt if you aim at ground

[dusty scarab]

Yeah but that's not hard to aim at a single thing

[wet cradle]

Yeash

Im just saying it should have a tinyt bit of wiggle room

like 5-10m around where you put it

it pulls enemies in

Im sad new frame is another heat frame

We just had one

[dusty scarab]

I actually rock the shield tanking Saryn very comfy

Sobek gamer

[wet cradle]

ye

I use sobek + oraxia whip

oraxia whip with shock is just so funny

I might go back to octavia gaming soon tho

[dusty scarab]

My beautiful Sobek

FUck Banes

Hate banes

• Roar on Saryn anyway

[wet cradle]

Umbra bane when

[dusty scarab]

And that beautiful 235er

[wet cradle]

Umbra bane would take your highest of all and combine them into one mod.

Be such nice qol

Ngl I love snipers

They're just so bad rn

Besides sporothrix

Hope the new one is good

[dusty scarab]

Daikyu Prime might as well be a sniper

[wet cradle]

Yeah

But this one is a chain sniper

It's what I wanted for a bow

[dusty scarab]

Blast Daikyu is just bonkers

[wet cradle]

But works out

[dusty scarab]

Cause the headshot multi works on the blast damage

[wet cradle]

They should also just

Unnerf

Bramma

0 reason to leave it nerfed

It won't be better than torid

I really hope the new sniper is good tho.

[dusty scarab]

Bac Titania Gamer

[dusty scarab]

Hopefully

[wet cradle]

Do I go back to Octavia

I'm thinking about it

[dusty scarab]

[wet cradle]

Well.

Yes

But if I supp it's that or dante

A d Dante is butt ugly

[dusty scarab]

Dante

Octavia

[wet cradle]

Octavia less sleeper

Not ugly

Big perk

Oberon rework might make me play him

If it's good.

[dusty scarab]

Hopefully

Broberon needs some love

[wet cradle]

He's so bad

Outside of spider

It's so sad

I'm just Tryna find something I want to play

I setup my funny voruna 4 build again but

I played it too much

I need to look at my options

Oh also.

If you don't like Octavia you wouldn't like evade harrow

?

Idk I need to make a list

I wanted to setup mag but she seems like too much work

[hasty nova]

[wet cradle]

Me fr

[dusty scarab]

Nah not the same

I'm a member of the Church of Harrow

Not a Tbagging Beatboxer

[wet cradle]

im a member of the dark dagger chruch

i spelt it that way

on purpose btw

that weapon is so stupid

[dusty scarab]

Big Rakta Dark Dagger fan

[wet cradle]

any idea for not these frames

will defend myself here

the only reason i have rev selected is bc it was my weekly

I do not like this frame

[dusty scarab]

Koumei

[wet cradle]

I could go back to koumeio

[dusty scarab]

Koumei with Sickening Pulse

[wet cradle]

my favorite koumei arcane

[dusty scarab]

Just don't get toxin proc'd

[wet cradle]

fr

me when i need to get melee kills to reset

and get too close

and just get touched

i could probably take rolling guard off with resistancew but

this is what ive been running

(idk what fucking aura to give her tbh)

unironcially could run donation and it wouldnt matter

xd

[dusty scarab]

Sickening Pulse over 3 cause you don't need it

[wet cradle]

i do it over 1

if i do it

both are meh

[dusty scarab]

1 is actually quite good

[wet cradle]

I prefer her 3 for afk brain

I dont use her for ability kills

[dusty scarab]

Tbh you don't even need the toxin resist arcane cause your operator inherits all decrees from Koumei

[wet cradle]

i use her as a weapon frame

[dusty scarab]

So Last Gasp just becomes busted

If you do manage to somehow die

[wet cradle]

so idk why i would run sickening

[dusty scarab]

4/1 into 3 is very strong

[wet cradle]

Weapons >abilities

for me

[dusty scarab]

If you have sickening on 3

[wet cradle]

I prefer killing with gun

[dusty scarab]

I mean yeah

My guns are very strong too

[wet cradle]

Ye im not saying they arent

im saying sickening is more ability based

[dusty scarab]

Shards

Casting Speed and Equilibrium

[wet cradle]

i have cast speed and strip

but idk if i care abt the stirp as much

might swap to equilibrium and swap a mod out

[dusty scarab]

Yeah you don't need that on her

[wet cradle]

i was testing stuff

but armor strip is just so

meh now

[dusty scarab]

I run neutral efficiency with the equilibrium shards

Impetus is just busted o nher

[wet cradle]

For what

what do you need strength for

[dusty scarab]

Efficiency

Also 1 and 4 damage scaling

[wet cradle]

I dont run out of energy ever cuz of dirga

[dusty scarab]

I run Hound/Kubrow on her

Depending on my setup

[wet cradle]

I just use dirga

universally atm

for the most part

except for xp mirage

[dusty scarab]

There's also a Mecha setup for her that's pretty stupid

[wet cradle]

but your build is basically focused on teh opposite for me

im focused on gettign stupid weapon dmg and not caring about 1/4 except for getting status procs for quests

[dusty scarab]

But yeah Strength is very crazy for 1 and 4 scaling on her

[wet cradle]

ye but idc about the dmg from them

i just scale my weapons to 1 shot

[dusty scarab]

I mean yeah my abilities also 1 shot

[wet cradle]

YES

i never said

THEY DONT

BUT

i dont like ability frames as much

[dusty scarab]

Plus my weapons ALSO one shot

[wet cradle]

Its why i dont play sevagoth

[dusty scarab]

So I can do both

[wet cradle]

i would rather pew pew

both builds are equally viable since this frame is fkn stupid

[lean stump]

brothers

help me to get uh

the 3 titan

[wet cradle]

the waht

[lean stump]

i havent play it since the plain release

the first plain

[dusty scarab]

Oh the Eidolons

[wet cradle]

ahh

arent you chinese tho

[dusty scarab]

People don't really do Eidolons much anymore

[lean stump]

but i am not playing it in CN server

[wet cradle]

ahh

[lean stump]

i played it since 2014

[hasty nova]

[lean stump]

but didnt play much

[wet cradle]

Im trying to figure out what mod to put on koumei now

[lean stump]

i just found they unbaned me

[wet cradle]

since im not running equil

[lean stump]

they found theyselves made a mistake

maybe

[dusty scarab]

This shit VERY funny

Btw

[wet cradle]

ofc

im not saying its not

im just lazy

and prefer to shoot

or melee

[lean stump]

brothers would u like to have some prime part

[wet cradle]

P sure our playstyles are actually the exact opposite

[lean stump]

[dusty scarab]

I mean I like both weapons platforms and casters

I play it all my man

[wet cradle]

i dislike casting

i am not a shadow wizard

its why i cant stand flare

I dont need anything bac ty tho

just sell it for yourself

[dusty scarab]

Yeah you're good man

[wet cradle]

I was running nourish since i dont think i have it on my dirga

actually i do

hmm

[dusty scarab]

Sobek Nova

[wet cradle]

I might just go xatas

funny

[dusty scarab]

There's a Frost build I have with Tenet Detron and Xata's

[wet cradle]

I think i might go xatas and throw an umbral intensify on her

[dusty scarab]

Also works very well with the Sporothrix

If you're a fan of that

[wet cradle]

If i played frost id unironically have to put parkour shards on

LOL

[dusty scarab]

I mean I just put Rush in the Exilus

[lean stump]

uh i have a question

[dusty scarab]

What's up

[lean stump]

does this frame has face need to buy

or its something else

[wet cradle]

a skin

[dusty scarab]

Protoframe

1999

[wet cradle]

bro i just snzeed

6 times in a row

release me

help

[lean stump]

yea i was wondering is it a skin instead of something i need to farm

[wet cradle]

just buy

[dusty scarab]

Yeah its a skin for Nova

Protoframe Nova

[lean stump]

its been a long time that i havent log

lets see what do i have

[dusty scarab]

Da Frosty

[lean stump]

uh downloading

[dusty scarab]

Da Shards

[wet cradle]

might look into it

[dusty scarab]

3x Duration cause holy

[wet cradle]

i think for koumei with xatas this is what i run

right

[dusty scarab]

and 2x casting speed

[wet cradle]

(need to forma for power drift)

[dusty scarab]

No PSF

[wet cradle]

100 more days

i think

then this acct has it as well

[dusty scarab]

Give you a pro tip

Fortitude gives 40% resist to knockdown

Then regular Sure Footed gives 60

And they add

[wet cradle]

isnt there one in koumeis thing too

in her powers

[dusty scarab]

Yeah but that relies on you getting that decree out of a list of about 100

[wet cradle]

whyen i play kouemi

koumei

we are going 3+ hours

[dusty scarab]

I mean sure

Have fun getting knocked over until then

[wet cradle]

i already deal with it

xd

[dusty scarab]

Fortitude also gives shield recharge

[wet cradle]

its not SO bad atm tbh

i dont get knocked down as much

feels like the eximus changes they made helped that a lot

[wet cradle]

Either way

[dusty scarab]

Cause honestly if you have Rolling Guard you don' tneed the Toxin arcane

And if you have the toxin arcane you don't need rolling guard

[wet cradle]

sometimes im afk brain and dont notice toxin procs is the problem.

[dusty scarab]

Yeah but you have Last Gasp no?

[wet cradle]

ye

[dusty scarab]

All your decrees go onto your operator

Trust me you don't need it

[arctic violet]

Look into it, I feel like making your own business is the way to go in the future

its really easy to build really good products really fast and cheap now with all these ai tools

and the potential is unlimited kinda

like if u fail 4 times really fast in 5 years, then 5th time takes off then bam youre good to go

and the odds of success are about 1 in 3 if youre smart so youre better off too

the trick is to fail fast and learn a lot (from what ive been learning atleast)

[shell sparrow]

yeah, I am not smart

[subtle quail]

LOCK IN

[arctic violet]

why is bro lying to me

[shell sparrow]

if I was smart I would have found a new job already

proof by contradiction and empirical evidence

[arctic violet]

Idk man... its really cooked right now

I knew a guy super smart, worked for amazon for like 3-4 years got laid off 1.5 eyars ago

still nothing

knew another girl decently smart, got laied off 2 years ago, nothing, she fully gave up and is now going deep on the house wife thing now

its cooked

[shell sparrow]

yeah, I told @cyan oxide that I need a sugar mommy

[arctic violet]

bro same... if i had a sugar mommy im sure my gf would understand tbh

i knew a guy who had one here

he was like 6 years older than the girls oldest son

[junior inlet]

that's the move

[arctic violet]

she bought ihm so much stuff

had her own company and everything was giga boss bitch

then my dumbass friend gave it all up to move to austrailia and become a rapper

i cant even make this shit up...

[junior inlet]

talk about fumbling the bag

[arctic violet]

he fumbled everything

was working at a startup here too at the time

[cyan oxide]

need to find me an amazon job

250 a year type deal

[arctic violet]

good luck with that my goat

i swear its easier to make your own startup though idk

[cyan oxide]

fuck no

but

[arctic violet]

or company doesnt even need to be heavy tech realted

[arctic violet]

why not though

genuine question

cuz ive been working on something with a few friends for a bit now

im curious what people think

[junior inlet]

working at amazon is definitely not worth

[cyan oxide]

as a software engineer?

[junior inlet]

yes

[arctic violet]

its not

hours are too long

[cyan oxide]

idk they pay double what I am paid right now

[arctic violet]

its too stressfull

its ass

[cyan oxide]

at least double I mean

[junior inlet]

you can make that much without being worked to the bone and then laid off

[cyan oxide]

yea

[arctic violet]

^

[cyan oxide]

but

BUT

idk, it's fucked

it's nice to have an offer so I can negotiate elsewhere

[arctic violet]

when I interened there, i worked litearlly from 8 -4

[cyan oxide]

:3

[arctic violet]

then go home

then work from 5-10

as an intern

and thats when i wasnt on call

[junior inlet]

you can make up having other offers for any job. they never ask for proof

i do it every time

and even if they ask you can say you signed an NDA (which you often do, actually)

[cyan oxide]

we'll see

[arctic violet]

okay, but still, go for the business route man

[cyan oxide]

they sent me some shit to do

[arctic violet]

my friend met this girl, who litearlly makes candles

like pretty candles

[cyan oxide]

need to do their assessment and see where we land

[junior inlet]

ugh not the homework

[arctic violet]

shes crossing in on 100k a month now

[cyan oxide]

100k what

revenue or

[arctic violet]

100k cad rev a month yea

[junior inlet]

that's bananas

[arctic violet]

is it thuogh

shes not the only one

one of my friends works at a company that gets gov funding for startups

theres so many of these

[junior inlet]

100k/month for candles? sounds pretty bananas to me. i doubt they cost much to make

[arctic violet]

they dont, she imports really cheap stuff, then redesigns them here.

[cyan oxide]

1.2m ARR -> exit at 10x -> 10milly

[arctic violet]

then gets 40% of her costs to hire people paid by gov funding

[cyan oxide]

candle as a service

[arctic violet]

thats my point, i swear your own company is just so much better

like right now, im working with 2 friends on something we are building

[cyan oxide]

problem is finding a liquidity event

[arctic violet]

we got irap to pay us 160k a year for 3 years

[cyan oxide]

sick

[arctic violet]

but our costs are basically 0

[junior inlet]

i believe it's possible to start your own company and make money, but i think it's a lot like a lottery and it's a ton of work

[cyan oxide]

yeah

[arctic violet]

I dont think its like lottery at all though

[cyan oxide]

something something 96% of startups don't make it

[arctic violet]

thats not really true

i think its like 70% fail before 10 years

[cyan oxide]

in what sense

oh

yeah

[arctic violet]

but that doesnt actually mean what u think it does

because for ex

my friend worked at a robotic company

they went backrupt 2 months ago

the founder pushed the company to 40M evaluation

made about 10M himself over 6 years

then went bankrupt

did he fail?

hes now working at a new place whos been going for about 12 years now, valuation at 1M

but also, the lottery idea isnt really accurate because people whove had successful businesses are 3x more likely to succeed in their next business which means theres a lot of learning to be odne

and its not all luck

which is why u see people with 1 successfull business have multiple

anyways

[cyan oxide]

yeah thats a fair one

i would love to do something within finance

but so many regulations

[arctic violet]

think of an idea, then build an MVP in your free time

then go learn to talk to potential clients

and bam

get funding too either from angel list or something or gov funding

[shell sparrow]

fuck finance

[arctic violet]

for me, its easier to get funding in US

buy much easier to get extra funding once u have an MVP from canadian gov

[shell sparrow]

the amount of regulatory bullshit one has to deal with is too damn high

[cyan oxide]

problem is

you know those apps in the US that connect to your bank cards and banka ccounts

to track spenditure and shit

we can't do that here, that licensing is EXTREMELY strict

[arctic violet]

@cyan oxide

about 1 in 3 last for 10 years

[shell sparrow]

I don't but sounds not like a financial institution

[cyan oxide]

did you just pull up chatgpt on me

[arctic violet]

yep

it has links so its not making shit up

[shell sparrow]

you just get an access to users data by user's consent

[cyan oxide]

not in here

[arctic violet]

sounds like "tea" xd xd

[shell sparrow]

since you ain't the one actually processing the transaction and you participate in nothing in 4 points scheme

you have to do nothing

[cyan oxide]

yes but that data is still giga restricted

no licensing

no way of getting it

only the bank itself and for the bank itself

[shell sparrow]

I mean you ain't getting card data

[cyan oxide]

jesus

[shell sparrow]

just transactions I assume

[cyan oxide]

I'm telling you that I CAN'T

it's NOT LEGAL

[shell sparrow]

I understand

[arctic violet]

have you tried doing it.... ILLEGALY? 200 IQ STONKS LETS GO WE STEALING PEOPLES INFO

THEN SELLING THEM TO FACEBOOK

[cyan oxide]

can't sniff on the transactions, can't read account status, can't do anything unless it's through the government protocol

[arctic violet]

BAM

100M IDEA

[cyan oxide]

and govvy protocol is strict

very strict

[shell sparrow]

okay

[cyan oxide]

IF they ever lighten it up

there are probably 10000 people trying to do the same thing

because holy fuck financial literacy is low here

LOW

[arctic violet]

just because theres competition doesnt mean u shouldnt try btw

only 19% of businesses fail due to compeition

its one of the least important factors

[cyan oxide]

ye ye ye somthing something highly competitive market = also lots to grab

[median gale]

Imma make an app that insta deletes ur transaction history so u dont feel bad when u spend even more /s

[arctic violet]

i have a name for you

"Girl Math Teehee"

[median gale]

Real

[arctic violet]

https://tenor.com/view/imsujogril-gif-3589742374503332341

thats your logo

[median gale]

Understandable

[arctic violet]

we're in business

[median gale]

We making it a free app with inapp purchases? /s

[shell sparrow]

call visa/mc and tell them to delete it as well while you are at it

[cyan oxide]

not amex? rude

[shell sparrow]

amex is a meme

[cyan oxide]

what about uhhhhhh

discover

[shell sparrow]

even bigger meme

[cyan oxide]

unionpay

[shell sparrow]

actually almost not meme outside of China

[median gale]

Chase sapphire reserve best card /s

[shell sparrow]

definitely not meme there

[arctic violet]

we sell skins for the hamster with different violin themes

holy fuck we're gonna be rich

then we delete the bought skin transaction too

boom

[cyan oxide]

rupay

[shell sparrow]

what's that?

[cyan oxide]

india company

[shell sparrow]

well, you know the answer

[cyan oxide]

credit card network

[shell sparrow]

I only know about nubank and your system because I participated in their IPO and bought some shares

[cyan oxide]

credit card world is so fucked

like

the amount of stuff that goes into processing payment

[arctic violet]

okay these are crazy numbers wtf. according to jp morgan 9.6% of business make (50-100k), and about 9% of businesses get to 1M a year revenue within 5 years

so like, if your product is good enough to get you to 50k. u get to 1M

o7

[cyan oxide]

what about the other 91%

[shell sparrow]

people have no idea how fucking shit card payments are under the hood

authorisations, clearings, reverse clearings, chargebacks...

[cyan oxide]

a friend was building a joint account bank company

and dealing with transactions was so fucked

being authorized by mastercard to issue cards was also an incredibly painful process

their API is turbo shit

VISA's API is somehow even worse

[shell sparrow]

authorisations is such a garbage, they have everything in that protocol

[cyan oxide]

and VISA's rules are much stricter

[shell sparrow]

they still support authorisation by phone btw

[cyan oxide]

[shell sparrow]

at least technically there is a symbol for it

[cyan oxide]

they still have to support magnetic stripe cards

[shell sparrow]

yes, but phone is bloody older

[cyan oxide]

and they have to support some special cards

[shell sparrow]

imagine you call to a bank and ASK if a person has enough money

[cyan oxide]

that were issued without an expiry date

and they have been around for fucking decades

it's so fucked

[cyan oxide]

and the fun thing is: Visa and Mastercard don't know how many cards there are floating around

or who gets them

[arctic violet]

u know whats crazy though, the odds of success are actually quite a bit higher than it even shows here. because this number includes all the shell companies that make nothing and only exist to hold assets, it includes all the first timers that insta fuck up and lose. includes all those weird drop shippers

[cyan oxide]

bank issues -> that info does not go to VISA

so they can't even recall these legacy cards

[arctic violet]

so realistically the odds are legit better than 1 in 3

[shell sparrow]

it does

that's just not true

one of the many charges they impose on your is number of active cards, so they must know

[cyan oxide]

that's on the bank though

not mastercard/visa/amex

[shell sparrow]

issuer pays to VISA/MC per active card

so both parties have to know the number to agree on it

[cyan oxide]

I see

but I'm like

somewhat sure that the info VISA/MC get is not the same info the bank gets

bank is authorized to issue cards -> you get the card, transactions are obviously linked to you and your account

[shell sparrow]

also they have thresholds when it comes to fraud so you they know those cards are issued by you and it had cases of confirmed fraud

[cyan oxide]

that's on the bank side, no?

fraudulent transactions and such

[shell sparrow]

on both sides

[shell sparrow]

and that issue has to be registered with the payment system, who clears the transaction in the end

[shell sparrow]

no necessarily, if you raised 3ds you shift liability

and who do you think confirms fraud, that data comes from the payment system

[arctic violet]

anyways guys

im off work in 30

get to go home eat my fucking chicken and rice

shower

do a lil yoga

then fucking lose my mind on league

for 3 hours

then do a lil work on my project after to clam down

o7

[cyan oxide]

man

I really don't want to read up on DSA

and time complexity

[arctic violet]

youre interviewing?

[cyan oxide]

ehhh

idk we'll see

need to do their assessment and then take interviews

surely I don't completely fuck up on the assessment right

[arctic violet]

im a believer gl gl

[shell sparrow]

okay, application sent

[cyan oxide]

[shell sparrow]

after worky

[arctic violet]

to need to do a D patch?

[cyan oxide]

[arctic violet]

like

what

[cyan oxide]

[arctic violet]

[shell sparrow]

[cyan oxide]

no mort

[arctic violet]

unbeliavly stupid

btw

and theyve litearlly nerfed everything

items

fruits

units

every single things getting nerfed

[shell sparrow]

I got bored of tft last patch

[arctic violet]

except ash

[shell sparrow]

hacking one

[arctic violet]

but guinsoo and flicker are getting nerfed

[shell sparrow]

it all felt the same, and boring

[arctic violet]

so is shadowclone

[arctic violet]

last patch or set/

cuz set was awful

i didnt even play

but this sets fun

except balance is fucked

[shell sparrow]

I know it's funny coming from a chess enjoyer, but tft is nowhere near chess replayability

[arctic violet]

it used to be

they fucked up a lot with it

now u cant pivot or play what u hit

its really bad

u have to pick and force

[subtle quail]

Me gp no pivot

[cyan oxide]

chess has no patch notes

gg

[calm elbow]

Nerf knight

[shell sparrow]

it does

[arctic violet]

what they do? nerf the queens hp

[shell sparrow]

en passant wasn't a thing for a while, same as castling

also time controls are quite impactful

[cyan oxide]

wtf

who updates chess

surely not riot games.

[shell sparrow]

currently I think that would be FIDE

[cyan oxide]

the should allow for the horse to move anywhere

it's a horse.

KNIGHT, fucking translations

[arctic violet]

theyre too busy nerfing a fucking 4.4 comp that only farmed dumbass gold and below players

[lilac heath]

Can’t wait for FIDE to crumble to dust

[arctic violet]

bros hatin

[shell sparrow]

man I wish I could play bughouse with someone

[arctic violet]

atleast FIDEs patch notes areny going around in a circle

like god damn riot devs

we weent from yummi karma gp to actually a lot of playable shit back to yummi karma

they call this the circle of life i guess

[lilac heath]

POV me

[arctic violet]

bros a cutie god damn

[arctic violet]

real. nerf queen obv broken

king useless as usual

[shell sparrow]

I think queen was actually buffed, it used to have 1 square reach I believe

[cyan oxide]

wtf

[arctic violet]

who the fuck is balancing this. we went from 1 square reach to infinite?

[cyan oxide]

1 square reach is just a king but different no

[shell sparrow]

The queen was originally the counsellor or prime minister or vizier (Sanskrit mantri, Persian farzīn, Arabic firzān, firz or wazīr). Initially, its only move was one square diagonally. Around 1300, its abilities were enhanced to allow it to jump two squares diagonally (onto a same-colored square) for its first move.

[cyan oxide]

holy

700 year old patch note

[arctic violet]

holy fuck patch notes were delivered probably in a fucking book

instead of twitter

unc

[shell sparrow]

so chess evolves, just not as fast as some shittier games

[arctic violet]

wait

just saw this

holy fuck

[shell sparrow]

doesn't need a patch every week

[arctic violet]

what an actually insane tweet

what the fuck

this is real?

imagine wow doing this icant

but lowkey omega giga insane W

[shell sparrow]

bishop was limited as well I think

The bishop's predecessor in medieval chess, shatranj (originally chaturanga), was the alfil, meaning "elephant", which could leap two squares along any diagonal, and could jump over an intervening piece

[arctic violet]

wait shatranj is farsi

is chess persian?

wtf

[shell sparrow]

I think the most popular theory is India but it's hard to say

[arctic violet]

alfil is litearlly arabic for elephant btw xd

oh nvm it says right there

[shell sparrow]

The recorded history of chess goes back to at least the emergence of chaturanga—also thought to be an ancestor to similar games like Janggi, xiangqi and shogi—in seventh-century India. After its introduction in Persia, it spread to the Arab world and then to Europe. The modern rules of chess emerged in Europe at the end of the 15th century, with standardization and universal acceptance by the end of the 19th century. Today, chess is one of the world's most popular games, with millions of players worldwide.

that's what wiki has

but I think it's hard to pinpoint exact origin

[peak solar]

drew levin a bozo on god

spends all day on twitter flaming people after he said we give league players too much free stuff

L rito

[arctic violet]

L take

dudes funny af

his "flames" are funny af too

[timid kayak]

He’s a little extra

[arctic violet]

a lil

true

[timid kayak]

But he does have some good zingers

[arctic violet]

im just glad atleast riots going all out on engaging with players

instead of doing whatever the fuck dow does

[peak solar]

yea dunking on 15 year old as a pompous dev sure makes you look good

ben shapiro got famous that way

[arctic violet]

if a 15 year olds being a dumbass

[peak solar]

nah

[arctic violet]

someones gotta tell em

cuz the world will be harsher later

[peak solar]

dudes a douche imo

[timid kayak]

We all learned to not being stooges by getting dunked on as 15 year olds on the internet

The cycle must continue

[peak solar]

grown man spending all day on twitter flaming little kids that play a game from a company he works for

[timid kayak]

[peak solar]

literal president orange energy

[timid kayak]

I mean it’s not like he’s exclusively targeting 15 year olds

[arctic violet]

Idk u call it flaming but I don’t

He’s been very good most of the times

[timid kayak]

Many of them are grown ass men that simply act like 15 year olds

In fact most of them

[arctic violet]

Sometimes sure he makes fun or is passive aggressive but when he was asking about stuff he was very thoughtful and impactful

[peak solar]

especially with his track record before this

[arctic violet]

For ex stuff on high elo Q timers

[peak solar]

and not to mention riots 20 years of abysmal records

to come out and act like yall the shit

Literal twitter bozo to me

[arctic violet]

He’s not targeting anyone

If you stupid he makes fun ez

[timid kayak]

everyone on twitter is a bozo

[peak solar]

yes

[timid kayak]

By association

[peak solar]

to an extent

i just hate riot and i hate pompous devs

had enough of that from wow

it's just performative bs

i could load up a game rn run it down on 4 innocent people no punishment

but haha funny twitter man yelled at a streamer

[arctic violet]

Idk

I’m seeing very less of that now

I’m also seeing more feedback notifications

[peak solar]

i'm seeing feedback reports for anyone who chats

[arctic violet]

Could also be elo dependant

[peak solar]

like ANYONE

i get 5 feedback reports a day from just chatters

but someone runs it down hardstyle

nothing

[arctic violet]

That’s good people shouldn’t chat as much

[peak solar]

idc if you chat

i care if you int the shit out of your team

and then babyrage soft afk while refusing to ff

[arctic violet]

Okay but what is “int”

[peak solar]

0-10 in lane

[arctic violet]

How often do you actually see people say fuck it and click nexus

I haven’t had one of those literally in 2 years

[peak solar]

sidelane refuse to group for the rest of the game, only afk farm, if anyone contests you, you die, and you refuse to ff

that's literal terrorism

in game

and those people are never punished

[arctic violet]

0-10 in lane sure, how much of that is the guy saying fuck it I’m gonna just run it down, or it’s that he’s a dumbass gold player who’s getting snowballed on and doesn’t know how to stop it

Otherwise he wouldn’t be gold

Ff terrorism I agree with

But u can’t punish people for wanting to play out a game idk

[peak solar]

you can tell when it's int

and when they're trying

if you play the game enough

[arctic violet]

How I honestly can’t

I’ve done 0-8 in lane too and I was legit trying

[peak solar]

really basic thing is grouping for objectives and basic map macro
