i can't believe how good that christmas special was how did something as dumb as neo yokio end up being so amazing
!C0.PerkELE
damn i twas snowing really heavy earlier but seems like it melted as it fell
Kirara, the Cat
did y'all see that weird thing in british parliament where some MP tried to pick up some weird gold mace and walk off with it while other MPs shouted "no" at him British parliament is like a circus, I don't understand it at al
FormerRei@mobile
WTF
FormerRei@mobile
>>615929 Iirc in South Korea the majority party locked te minority party out of the building and held a vote
>>615922 → yeah i agree wholeheartedly it really sucks for me since my default playstyle in fighting games is basically baiting into punish an extra quarter second of input lag usually turns bait into giving the enemy free damage it's kinda difficult for anyone though because adapting to lag is a skill you'll never use outside of online matchmaking that's why most top level pros in the genre don't play lot online i suppose it's wasted practice you could spend time on other skills
Anno
>>615945 i sleep away from windows if possible in the center of the room idk why though
!C0.PerkELE
>>615932 I think basically without the mace, the parliament doesn't have its "power" I mean it doesn't foc have any real value, but it being present there symbolises how the monarch has conceded all their powers to the parliament or something been a while since I read about such symbolics
!C0.PerkELE
>>615950 I love to play real aggressive and just basically rush rush rsuh so if I can't cancel, counter or precise time stop I end up getting punished like hell against anyone who plays better than average is not a good style, but I love the rush when you just zerg rush your opponent into a corner and then get all dat free damage in
!C0.PerkELE
but forexample in what i have played most online the naruto games there just are some moves that if you or your opponent lags you cant' dodge the window for dodding them is really small and even if you SPAM the dodge button it doesn't register it
Anno
Last exam of the semester done. Now I can address all the worries I've got that I threw under the carpet so to not worry about them during exams.
mister perkele san have you returned to dark souls
Anno
You know the Cleave feat, from DnD? Where you can use a single sword swing to cut through an enemy and damage another enemy next to him? Similar features have been implemented in video games. And now I would like a "Sweep" type of feature to become more popular in turn based tactical games with guns Where you horizontally sweep your guy across multiple enemies while firing gun*
how it spreads the damage just ignores armour types and so on
Anno
>>615960 A lot of stuff is oh shit nvm my brain read that as Witcher 3
!C0.PerkELE
it is a rare ability in the base game so I guess they never bothered to change it but basically, say you are attacking mook A, and all mooks have super high armour so mook A takes 50 dmg, but all the mooks surrounding it take the full dmg so say your dmg is 100 and mooks have 50% armour reduction the mook A takes 50 and all the dudes around it take 100 ofc 100 raw divide by the cleave % but basically if you had 60% cleave dmg you'd do mroe damage to the adjucant targets and not the main because how the game handles the cleave and splash damage types and especially the cleave ability
So there are amusingly some maps in wc3, say hero defense maps with real high dmg and armour values and real high cleave values where you can see a hero pulverizing everything except the main target becasue the main target takes just 1-5 dmg per hit but the enemies around it take full dmg
I hope they fix these kinds of small issues to wc reforged for example windwalk+channel spells >invisible mass nuke
they recvently did a huge meta-switching patch to the game >critical strike ability no longer factors in item and additional bonus dmg so basically if you hit 50 crit 3x and have +20 you hit 150+20 instead of 50+20->210 made one of the strongest heroes in the game suddenly play completely differently also in terms of rpg mechanics, it just don't make sense
It's a fun experience. Though it slips my mind pretty often. I'll usually forget between the last month and the next to keep in mind its starting time.
I also don't know a lot of the songs so it kind of takes away from the experience a bit I have been to live events where I didn't know any of the bands music and had a lot of fun so it doesn't ruin it completely
Anno
Part of the fun for me is trying to remember or research where I know a song from. In the past I'd have times when I'm squinting at the video they project behind the DJs trying to see if I can pick out familiar details. These days it's less of a game because they force the Twitch chat onto the stream feed so I see all the people talking about the music playing and usually someone's able to cite the song.
Anno
I recognised a few of the imas songs they played can't remember which ones but I did recognise them
i don't have the context for anything in that video
ToN
i mean you arent really supposed to it’s the next story arc
Kirara, the Cat
so i would probably have context if i did know anything about the last story arc
ToN
not really since there werent any loose ends aside from veronica is alive and so is loki
fjorm hasnt even appeared which isnhilarious because she ends the second book by having a deadly japanese cough
Kirara, the Cat
why are all the villains summonable heroes now
ToN
>>616089 because while loki may or may not be lying and because there are flaws in the logic apparently all the heroes you summon get summoned after they die maybe? this is second or thirdhand info since i didnt keep my loki around
and all the book 2 villains did in fact die for one reason or another no matter how silly
Kirara, the Cat
weird
i hope the fire emblem switch is good the warriors designs were really bad
ToN
fire emblem switch looked kinda ugly last i checked
i assembled a bento from this cute ass airport sushi fishroom
Anno
oh wow that's neat I've never seen a sushi rack where you assemble your plate yourself like that
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
yeah this was new to me too! it is a thing in japan
also i self checkouted the box, there were no cashiers overall human interaction was kept to a minimum how urban
Anno
>>616131 Japanese are truly so far beyond us mortals
can you explain why Doushio has support for batch image Twitter embedding but discord fucking don't
Anno
hey samu you got your switch at the airport and time to kill?
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
>>616133 damn i wish i’m already boarded but i do have my switch maybe i’ll get free wifi somehow play smash at 10,000 ft and 0.1 fps
Anno
>>616134 oh shit it'll be smash chess we each get 30 seconds per move
Anno
tupw spent an hour fighting metal mega man instead of smashing bros in airports
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
IT’S THE SUPER FIGHTING ROBOT!
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
guy across the aisle keeps cracking up silently clasping his hand across his mouth and laughing with the rest of his body instead for like 30 second spans on end
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
i want what he’s having
Anno
i want happiness too >>616137 it was SUPER FUCKING ME UP 8 metal mega men with 100hp vs 1 proud white male power fantasy barbarian and his holy water
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
>>616140 aaahhh the projectiles they’re in my eyes not the lemonssss
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
i watched some tourney footage of inkling vs richter goddamn richter’s projectile spam is oppressive somehow the inkling juked everything and won, it took like 40 min
Anno
shine on you spamming diamond the castlevastles are going to be hated and feared like Samus mains
Samu !KW2DbpWwls
byeeee literally raking off taking i wonder how long this will last it. keeps going???
Man Pichu really is "I am Pikachu but faster, stronger". The fact that it damages itself to attack is like, entirely irrelevant because as long as you land your hits you're still gonna be out-damaging people.
Because the percent damage you deal to yourself is peanuts compared to the damage Pichu is putting out. Something that dishes out 5% damage to me will be like 30% or more if it connects. Its damage output is already better than Pikachu's and because of it's small size it's faster as well.
Maria
but what if they just don't get hit
Anno
Well that's going to lose you the match regardless of who you're playing.
I'm all right. Anticipating the month of nothing really to do with a bit of both unease and anticipation.
ToN
>>616186 ssib was ok but you might get annoyed by moon princesses mopping the floor with multiple powerful touhous >>616187 im doijg ok this is my last noght to work until monday so ive got a super long weekend
FormerRei@mobile
>>616186 Yeah, every official Touhou manga is good.
>>616192 >>616193 I'm behind on all my work and barely finished half of what I planned on doing today because nobody at work would let me concentrate on my work. I got a bad grade on that exam I studied all weekend for and thought I did well on. Everyone at work kept talking about having kids, and then they were talking about other stressful school related stuff, and finally, I started getting such awful alcohol cravings that I had to leave work and go home so I could get some kratom otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sit through my DUI groups for today without getting horrible urges. Today has been pretty rough. But I'm home now.
Maria
How bad was the grade? Didn't you say you'd get at least a B even with a bad grade? If so then is it worth worrying over?
Kirara, the Cat
i studied very hard and did very poorly so it's upsetting
Yeah, it's frustrating when you try hard but things don't go well. Still, never failing is a sign that you aren't challenging yourself enough. Life is tough.
It's all really annoying. It feels like no matter how hard I work, it doesn't really matter because things are rigged against me anyway.
When I finally met with the program chair today to ask what the "significant concerns" about me were that warranted me continuing to be under review for the next two semesters, she had no idea and had to spend like 5 minutes trying to find notes about it with her secretary. When she finally found them, she said it's important for me to "continue as I'm doing" and then said there were concerns about me regarding an issue in which a supervisor who didn't like me falsely accused me of an ethical violation, which means they have ethical concerns about me, which they really shouldn't. And then she said something about how my current place of employment was considering firing me at the beginning of the semester? Which is demonstrably false because I talked to the CEO last week and she said I haven't had any serious issues and that she wanted me to continue working there. The whole thing is ridiculous. The program is literally high on painkillers all day every day and barely remembers anything that happens anymore. Most of us in the program think she had a stroke last year. She's seriously incompetent.
At the end of my meeting with her, she was like, "It's good you came to ask questions! It reflects very well on you! I'm going to make a note of this!"
>>616208 I'm in my third year, so assuming they don't kick me out, I have this year, next year, then I go away for a year-long internship, after which, I get my doctorate. So like one and a half years until I no longer have to deal with these people, but two and a half years until I complete the program.
hey kirara with the fact that youre busy in mind do you want me to count you out for this week’s session? it is kind of just an interlude so you wouldnt miss well you might miss something maybe but your work is kind of more important
Kirara, the Cat
i will probably be done with everything by Thursday afternoon except for 1.5 reports which i will have to do on Friday anyway
!C0.PerkELE
>>616202 how does someone like that keep their job?
Status. She's one of the most renowned experts on trauma and mindfulness. Even though she's clearly not very mindful herself.
!C0.PerkELE
people in high positions should be required to have some kind of mental condition testing to see if they are actually still qualified to hold their positions human brains tend to go derb as we age
ToN
>>616212 ok cool i just wanted to let you have the time free if you needed it
Oh, I also agreed to proctor a final exam for a professor, but she sent me the tests so late, that I won't be able to print enough copies at school due to time constraints, so I'm probably going to have to go to a 24/7 copy shop to print these stupid exams.
>>616215 If you get rid of a high status professor just because they're incompetent, your program loses clout. So you keep them for the optics and name recognition at the expense of the students because psy.d. programs are more competitive than med school so it's not like we can do anything about it.
I'm starting to put things together to make a case against them. If they kick me out after all this, I'm going to threaten legal action. They've treated me very poorly and have displayed a lot of bias against me, which appears to be discriminatory in nature. Every person asked to leave the program in the last few years was a man, and our program is 99% women. They've also made some antisemitic comments towards me.
I don't think it's an actual case of discrimination - I think they dislike me because they can't control me. But if they want to fuck me, I'm going to make sure I hurt them badly when I go.
Anno
I swear Graham says "so fucking find some lights" in this week's Doctor Who. That can't be the actual line but I can't hear it any other way.
ToN
man kirara’s going to become a family man someday
Maria
>>616221 How is the new doctor who anyway I haven't seen anything from the newest doctor
a friend couple is preggo and getting married in a couple weeks too im going to be that childless single friend pretty soon and all alone as they all make family friends
Anno
Yeah I know what that feels like. I can't imagine how to get into relationships so it feels more and more like I'll be stuck alone. as others join up.
>>616223 It's been a lot of fun for me. They've done away with a bit of the seriousness and long arc-plots that have been common of the series. Though there's new returning characters too. Whittaker's a great fit for the Doctor, bringing a joyous, eccentric energy to the role. And the companions are a well-rounded set.
>>616223 yeah if they want to take me down they're coming with me ill drag their names through the mud and threaten their accreditation if i can make it easier for them to keep me in the program than to kick me out, that's probably what they'll do even if they hate me
>>616225 I kind of liked it when Doctor Who leaned a bit more towards seriousness with the silliness acting as occasional relief I like the episodic stuff more than long arcs though so that's cool
I really liked the way Badwolf was handled way back. Where it was a long arc but it wqs only loosely woven in between episodes And if you had a keen eye you would spot the badwolf connection before it got revealed
>>616226 That's right just threaten them if you have to Scorch the earth and salt their fields
月
i want to be a family but i dont know how
Anno
>>616227 Well it's not wholly silly either, I just mean they don't have the whole grimness that I feel pervaded a lot of the latter bits of the Eleventh and was a lot Twelfth's series. Some of the invidual stories in this series can be a little serious.
>>616227 i can probably get the program chair arrested if i need to too i can report her for driving under the influence since she's always incredibly high too high to be able to drive safely since she can barely walk sometimes i really don't want to do anything like that though i don't want to have to retaliate
it would be best for everyone if they just treated me like everyone else and stopped coming after me for no reason
When I met last with the doctor from my university's medical centre, we were talking about depression and the methods for helping resolve its issues. And among the methods she employs in tandem for helping is medication i.e., antidepressants. I'm a little hesitant about taking them, especially when we last met and I was heading into exam week, hah hah. But I've got very little to occupy myself with until the second week of January, and the doctor did say the initial stage of effects they'd have would take about a month. I'm still anxious about taking them but I'm also getting to the point where I need something to help get over this. It's not an easy thing to make a decision about, and I'm already a pretty indecisive person.
Kirara, the Cat
if you take them for a while and don't like them, there's nothing stopping you from discontinuing them you might as well give it a try
>>616239 i could help you understand what to expect if you wanna talk about what kind they are if you dont want to thats pretty understandable too
Anno
I wouldn't have anything against talking about it if I knew what kind they were. The talks about trying them didn't get much further than "we can prescribe antidepressants, would this be something you're interested in?" At the least I don't remember getting a name, but I'm also not known for the best memory.
I hope Pikemin 3 gets a switch port so more people can appreciate it
月
http://www.math.ucsd.edu/seminars/upcoming/pdfs/2018/2018-6428.pdf man i wish i could like see these seminars or somethin there's a lot of them for some reason
月
imagine being restricted from accessing your own contributions by a paywall to the public lmao
Anno
The academic paywall overall seems to be a horribly inefficient and counter-productive thing.
月
in this case it's more a logistical paywall since it's presumably not a recorded seminar so you'd have to have access to the university to attend it might be public access but there's still some limitations, day parking pass, etc or it might just be for students and faculty
i honestly dont know why everything isn't just recorded nowadays and put up in a digital library other than if it was freely available anywhere any time then people wouldnt go to it i guess
Anno
Well there's a value to in-person attendance. You get to talk with the professor about things that concern you or aren't sufficiently explained for you in a record lecture. I spent a lot of time talking with some of my professors after class this semester and it helped with a couple things. Plus it gets me familiar with them, which has a number of advantages.
But yeah, there's a lot of students that would never show up for class if they could just watch recorded lectures.
!C0.PerkELE
>>616251 >i honestly dont know why everything isn't just recorded nowadays and put up in a digital library fucking this even drive space isn't a limitn owadays
月
>>616252 oh yeah symposia and seminars are so overtly social networking events that i could never stand going to them before people are so gossipy and rude i cant stand it i did a thing in palo alto a long time ago and everyone was really mean never again thanks
Anno
It wasn't that bad for me. I like listening to other people ask questions and get answers more than give them. This one philosophy professor I had for Platonic philosophy, he had this ridiculously impressive knowledge repertoire. No matter the question he seemed to be able to pull some anedoctal story from his time spent learning/in the field of physics, mathematics, literature, history, politics, etc. It was impressive how wide-learned he was.
Anno
Has anyone tried Elder Scrolls Online?
月
the during is pretty cool, it's the pre- and post- that terrify me
There's a Masayuki Endoh in the credits for Smash and the first time I caught his name I swore I'd seen Masaaki Endoh instead. Which would have been magical.
I will not ignore those absolutely terrifying legs.
Anno
haha that's fucking hilarious is there a shot of his whole body?
Maria
>>616263 only the blurred one from the motion poster that got revealed a few days ago You can't see his face or anything but it's very furry He has these weird human like arms Instead of the noodle arms from the games Fuck they could have just dropped in his model from Generations and it would have looked better
>>616266 Yeah I hope it's really edgy Sonic teamed up with a cop Goddamn I wonder if we're gonna get anyone in universe seeing sonic and freaking out over how weird he looks
>>616269 What if no one producing it really gives a shit so they're gonna play it up as much as possible for a giggle
>>616268 Yeah why How much effort went into this design? There must have been multiple people doing concept art, team meetings where they would have formulated a plan, and hundreds of man hours spent modelling each individual bit of fur Imagine being a talented 3D modeler and this is what you get ti work with
>>616270 He has an extremely wide brand visibility Most people know what a sonic is I'd wager He may not be well liked, but he's well known.
smash has so many characters i forget some of them even exist
Anno
It's going to be like 80+ after all the Fighter's Pass and Piranha Plant characters drop too.
Anno
all these characters and still no waluigi
Anno
Personally I hope they never add him. What would he do that Mario and Luigi don't already. Even for Wario it took him getting Wario Ware to be worth adding.
Anno
>>616326 he would be long range wario with a down and side b that are tennis and golf or something.
>>616352 It might, if I had good sleep patterns to begin with. But maybe it could also attributed to me living in the North my whole life that it was always hard for me to build good ones.
Anno
there must be a single word for
!C0.PerkELE
>>616349 what you still have 2 hours of daylight PLENTY
!C0.PerkELE
if memory serves, rovaniemi doesn't even actually bei n the kaamos zone
Like I said daylight from mid november to late january can be sometimes less than a "day" when you count in the complete overcast
Anno
>>616362 Yeah. I'm enough south that the shrinking daylight isn't all that bad. But overcast skies all day long aren't too uncommon either. Some times I can go a few days without seeing the sun. It's not something I enjoy; I like sunlight.
!C0.PerkELE
even here at luxury 5h days, according to forecasts next sunlight we'll see is... hmm christmas?
but yeah few years ago, I think 2015? we had total sunlight hours from november to january uhh highest amount was something like 26h with lowest being about 5h
!C0.PerkELE
of course, there is the good chunk of the country that goes without sun for about a month or two
>>616364 I thought I wouldn't really care but it's affecting my mood/energy levels more than I expected it to
!C0.PerkELE
>>616369 I bet too much sun is way more annoying in my opinion, though
Anno
>>616369 You don't know what you got 'till it's gone. The human body lives its life in the sun, so going from that to very little sun is frankly abnormal. If it's really a worry to you, see if you can get some vitamin D supplements to replace the D you're no longer getting from the sun. A little D can go a long way for helping you steer clear of Seasonal Affective Disorder.
!C0.PerkELE
oh yeah that vitamin-d or products with added vitamin-d like all milk sold ehre are essential during this time of the year vitamin D deficiency can make you feel like hell
Anno
if youre not already taking daily vitamin supplements, and drinking a bunch of blended up vegetables, youre behind on the times
Vitamin D is the only one I take regularly. Even during the warmer seasons, since I tend to be indoors a lot and figure I'm not getting a natural amount of sunlight in general anyway.
as a long time fan of samus dark samus is way better god damn he/she/it looks so badass all the time and you don't have a gay ass roll that gets you killed every time
Anno
Yeah when I did them in succession for Classic mode I found Dark Samus way more enjoyable than Samus to play.
>>616460 yeah i'm not even really sure what the differences are but based solely on how the character feels and looks 10/10 remix better than the original
just wish it had a skin with metroid fusion colors that's my favorite scheme
Anno
kinda wish they had buffed samus in some way but i guess a strong samus would be really annoying to play around it's already pretty frustrating getting walled out by missiles and beam grapple etc but she's been like shit tier to mid tier in every game so far
Anno
From listening to some chatter on the game the pro scene already considers Samus pretty strong as is, I think? Maybe that information is pre-Ultimate or something. She feels pretty mobile and can recover pretty well at least. Her attacks are wonky to land some times though.
>>616464 i'd really take the opinion of pros at this stage with much salt they always have wild ideas when new characters or games are released and the hard stats and advanced tech hasn't been researched the 'scene' in 4 even thought bayonetta would drop out of the #1 tier spot after her extreme nerf all around but she didn't move at all they also thought roy would be top tier on release before people put him to use and found out he had serious drawbacks along with powerful combos and speed
from anecdotal first hand experience i do feel like she is stronger aside from having gimpy bomb jumps i think her midair grapple attack might have taken a slight nerf but have no evidence to back it up just seems like it doesn't give me as much breathing room anymore
Koi, the Dragon
Ganondorf's fire kick pulls you in wtf
Anno
yeah it did that in 4 too haha it's still a worthless move but it is a little faster now too i guess if you are running doubles you can maybe team combo with a grab
Koi, the Dragon
I just have to beat one more Spirit Board fight without a spirit team
Koi, the Dragon
>Duck Hunt ugh
Koi, the Dragon
>Peach much better
Anno
i don't understand duck hunt maybe it's for people with bigger brains
he has like wii fit trainer tier hitboxes but an even more situational special kit i guess
Koi, the Dragon
oh god I almost failed it
Anno
I haven't tried Duck Hunt yet but playing against it is always a weird experience. I can usually tell what a fighter is doing with its moves but for Duck Hunt it's like, "I guess it's throwing stuff at me?"
Koi, the Dragon
>Karin This wasn't worth it but at least something opened
Koi, the Dragon
>Li'l Judd aw yeah cute cat collected
Koi, the Dragon
>Sun Salutation sigh
Anno
You ought to praise it like you should.
Koi, the Dragon
this stage is so dumb fire floor? four giant ass projectiles? I mean, I guess I can spam Fox on it or something
Koi, the Dragon
WONDER-BLUE NO CLUE WHO HE IS BUT I'M TAKIN EM
Anno
>>616478 have you gotten the chance to enjoy the pyra spirit fight? that's some bullshit there >>616481 i don't remember what characters are there exactly but I do remember the whole stage is fucking lava so if you aren't immune to lava you are guaranteed to get owned and the team strength is like, 14000 or something ridiculous
Koi, the Dragon
I did it once and I have completely forgotten what it was like I just know that I got owned
Koi, the Dragon
OH LOOK WHO JUST SHOWED UP HI PYRA
Anno
i've played xenoblade for over 260 hours so i smashed that fight button instantly and was so sad when i realized it's impossible for me until i find something to make lava null
Koi, the Dragon
>Lucina/Shulk >Red >13900 >Lava Floor >Fire Bar
Anno
You don't have a lava floor immunity spirit? I found one in WoL I think.
Anno
yeah i don't idk i got like 4 that reduce lava damage but none to nullify it. i'm like 2/3rds clear in WoL too so i don't know how i would have missed it
Koi, the Dragon
I do, but that's two whole fucking slots
Koi, the Dragon
Volcanion, Fire (Game and Watch) are immunity spirits also Esna Yeah, I died
Anno
Yeah, I got Esna pretty early on. I'd pop her in whenever I had a fiery stage because to hell with only being allowed to use the three floating platforms.
Koi, the Dragon
fuck Palutena's stage She should have died like 30 times I'm tired
Koi, the Dragon
>Oh nice another lege- >THE FLooR iS LaVa fuck this shit
oh yeah guys you gotta try this if you have the same or similar spirits it's fucking hilarious you don't even need to change anything for most battles in WoL or the board because it is just THAT strong if nintendo hadn't made it impossible to clip anything that isn't a normal smash replay i'd show it off but i can't hopefully someone else will eventually experience the GLORY of 2.5x damage/launch power mac fists
Anno
Version 1.2.0 is coming within a week so maybe they'll activate video clipping in that update.
for example i killed a 8kish shulk in ONE PUNCH a fsmash that hyper armored through his dash and it wasn't even charged up entirely it did like 75% fucking damage it's so busted
Koi, the Dragon
>let's enhance Groudo- >Fire/Explosion Resist ehhhh OH WAIT I CAN USE THIS AGAINST PYRA
Anno
Groudon's resistance saved my ass against hard mode Giga-Bowser, it's pretty great.
>>616495 Yeah, I've seen talk about others that put together stupidly OP Spirits line-ups like that. Ones that turn Captain Falcon into One-Punch Man as well.
Anno
>>616497 the same spirit team makes falcon's regular falcon punch do 118% damage and OHKO almost anything reverse FP does like 140ish and OHKOs anything
much harder to use and less efficient than mac though, mac's kit is literally only punches, every single move he has gets buffed by fist attack and his insane range and speed and hyper armor on his smashes makes it incredibly easy to just explode everything in one or two hits
doing it with falcon takes some patience and repitition, and is damn near impossible on some of the higher leveled CPUs
Anno
Yeah that's fair. Falcon Punches are fun to pull off but the AI is pretty smart at dodging them. Except when they're coming in from an air recovery that seems to be something that makes them really stupid.
Anno
the CPUs seem really quick to dodge in neutral but don't use the air dodge much or in any really useful way even level 9s never use it to recover but it improves your ability to live at high percent so much any time you get knocked at an upward angle especially on characters with limited recovery or bad air speed like the belmonts dodging toward the stage when you're far and uppercutting lets you live at like 180+ if you're not quite KO'd
it's really easy to trap them into simple aerial strings like mario's utilt - uair - upb or ding dongs or meta knight bullshit on the ground they're tough to hit with attacks that aren't fast i think

I had a look at a bunch of books about selling photos and they all kind of require money to start off, I have no idea. It'd be nice if I could get some money to cover bills and food on the side.
you're in finland wtf yeah i'm about the same except the good days are few and far between and the bad days are really bad
Anno
And it's probably not Finland cold.
>>616561 I can make that time span without issue I believe. Looking at flights I'm not really conveniencing myself much by choosing other options either. Do you know when you'll be landing on the second?
bang
this is true but as a texan, 40F weather is terrifying and i cannot handle it
Kirara, the Cat
40 sounds like a dream it's 60 here today it was 40 yesterday but we only get one cold day every week right now
Kirara, the Cat
>>616567 nah, i don't know yet but i can arrive at pretty much whenever im probably going to fly in in the morning
Marsh-chan
>>616566 yeah I did an exchange program it's almost over now though.
are you still working the same job or are you doing something else now?
Anno
Yeah, morning flights are what I'm looking at too. The most ideal choice I'm seeing gets me landing at 10:04. Second choice would have me landing at 08:39.
bang
>>616571 yeah there's a lot of hours during the holidays so i'm working there until the new year at least i'll be driving this week maybe
hey /moe/ guess who hasn't been sedated in almost two weeks that's right, me
Anno
How's it been for you?
月
it's really good and it's such a good feeling to know i haven't lost my passions engaging those things again is super stimulating and immersive and im rewatching some shows im really connected with and im generally pretty stable emotionally but i know that one particularly piercing worry or another can make me lose my shit if i gotta deal with or think about family for instance
Anno
>>616577 It is! I guess you've got an earlier flight so -longer flight so you'd have to get a really early flight to arrive earlier than that, eh. If you can't get a flight around that time I'm all right faffing about the airport for an hour or so.
Do you know when/if Jan or Blue can get in?
Anno
>>616580 That sounds pretty exciting, yeah. >>616583 I can kind of imagine. There's probably trade-offs to both situations, eh. But it sounds like you really want this one to work for you. I hope it continues to be good for you.
月
it can be hard in some ways though because ive been reliant on sedatives ever since asuka left us so there's a lot of undealt with shit im now feeling
Kirara, the Cat
>>616581 nope, im working on it jan can prob come in on 2nd but it might be 3rd
月
>>616582 thanks im not sure what "this one" refers to though it's not like im an addict and im cleaning up, i just havent taken my anxiety meds in a while or been otherwise sedated sedation is a super useful tool and im sure it will be necessary when i lose my shit again
Anno
Oh yeah, sorry, that's not what I meant. But it kind of sounds like you didn't want to be as reliant on them as you have been? Correct me if that's not quite right.
月
hmm i think ive just been so connected that i haven't thought about them like there's stuff i want to do i'm looking for an open time to queue up the next episode of kara no kyoukai for this rewatch for instance if anything was stressing me out, it's not something i need to sedate because i have other thinsg to focus on
i had a splash of bourbon last night but i didn't like it i wasn't feeling the thing i want to feel, it made it go away so i dont want that
Anno
Well it's an experience I'm a fair bit distanced to so it's hard for me to understand fully. But if the situation is satisfying for you I'm glad for you.
>>616598 I haven't died yet. I had a little bit of good luck today, thanks to someone else's misfortune. I'm almost free from this week. The final boss is tomorrow.
Well, it's not usually my cup of tea. But this week has been so ridiculous that I'll welcome anything I can get. I'm so exhausted right now that I'm just sitting in my car outside my apartment. I don't even want to get up.
I got out of class 2 hours early tonight. But I feel like I should do work if I suddenly have free time because I'm so busy. But I'm also super tired. I'm not going to do any work, but I don't know if I should sleep or relax. Fish probably will want to hang out since I've been so busy.
I have my winter break coming up. I can't wait to get these essays out of the way and then just ... not lazy around. I can try and be productive and do stuff, I feel like being lazy is tiring in of itself.
>>616605 out of curiosity, considering hawai is one of the biggest tourist spots in the world (and also unreasonably hot), is a relacing vacation there evem possible?
hawaii has better weather than florida and florida and hawaii are basically the poster children of relaxing vacation
Anno
I think he's more concerned about the number of other tourists.
By my secondary experience with hearing others talk about it, it's not hard to avoid other tourists. You might have to give up beach experiences but Hawaii has a lot of other nature recreation that's probably more enjoyable anyway.
you can go anywhere touristy and get away from the other tourists if you're interested in more than the surface level stuff
like you can wait four hours to look at liberty bell in philly but who cares about that shit
Kannagi
Lets climb mountains and establish a fort on them.

Anno
>>616613 Yeah. Like people think of U MI DA when it comes to Hawaii but the archipelago has so much more to offer that most people don't bother with. From what I've seen the island has gorgeous mountains and forested areas. I'd much rather explore that than its beaches.
we could also rent a big boat and go hang out in the ocean and sleep and read and relax
Anno
Taking a week or so to just sail around the waters surrounding Hawaii would be a nice experience too. Really doing that anywhere with good climate and not liable to encounter pirates would be nice, really.
when ika shows up later for anime, y'all should tell them to watch Hero Mask it's a studio perriot thing they made for netflix it looks like something he would like

Anno
>>616626 Like Ika specifically or the lot- Oh I totally parsed that last line poorly whoops.
Oh Xander Mobu has a role in it undubbed.

Type-Moon has a new anime animated by Troyca coming out soon. Either next season or the next I think? From the preview image it looks like it might have something to do with the Clocktower and take place in London.
Kirara, the Cat
neat that means waver hopefully el melloi waver
Anno
Dark horse in the runnings this'll be Type-Moon's latest foray into trying to wean themselves off Fate dependency. And it'll be some kind of setting that begins to distance itself from the Holy Grail War-esque plots of the Fate stories.
>>616634 Tasmania probably isn't too difficult to defend You have the Australian army to defend it from, but it isn't a bad location. Got some ocean between you and the mainland, and you have plenty of farm land It's a somewhat big island though so I guess it'd be hard to stop the Australians from picking a landing point
💀
>>616635 and what about all the other non food supplies presuming the island, which it is not, is food self-sufficient
Maria
>>616636 >assuming the island, which it is not Are you implying Tasmania is not an island Tasmania is borderline self sufficient when it comes to energy Not sure about metals though You'd be pretty stuffed when it comes to production of modern goods since most of their factory produced stuff comes from China
>>616638 Yeah they're responsible for 10% of Australias food exports
reminder that lost gains can never be regained you can get more gains after losing gains but those gains would've been in addition to whatever gains you attain ungained gains are lost forever
you k know the concept of letting old people do hella drugs because fuck it they're old and they deserve the dopamin? i wanna hear reviews from really, really old people doing cocaine and heroine and such. Part of me thinks it might remove them from dying in peace, in some way
>>616712 i pklay i play a control deck and it's pretty rare i win games with more than 10 life unless they just give up when they see Thief of Sanity or something which happens a lot... i usually win games when i stabalize though, it's pretty rare any damage sneaks in after they're down to their last one or two cards my gameplan is to get them to 1 or two cards by trading 1 or 2 for 1 and then i close it out slowly and painfully with thief of sanity or eldest reborn (using their own cards)
in this case, this guy was playing a lifegain + tokens deck and he got some steady damage in for a few turns but then he didn't get any more damage in for the rest of the game it was about 20 minutes from the last time he hit me to when he milled out it must have been pretty awful on his side this deck is honestly kind of sadistic but i am a control player through and through i didn't end up getting the 9x4-4 angels until the last couple turns he actually did a lot of work to kill himself, using the planeswalker's emblem and his enchantment to draw tons and tons of cards in the midgame but my suite of counters and kills in hand was too much for him by then
bang
now that i think about it, this dude gained like 80+ life this game and i think i gained like 2 and he had lethal on board twice but i'm just too fucking good
Anno
Oh that's kind of neat. Is it a deck you came up with on your own or did you get an idea for it from somewhere?
When I was playing in the closed beta I really only used the supplied decks because I've never really played Magic before. The supplied Red/Black and Red/Green decks were really fun at that time. Ramping with Green and getting some big hitters out was really satisfying for the aggressive kind of game player I tend to be.
The control decks were interesting but a bit much on understanding the feel of Magic for me just starting out. By the time I got distracted and kinda dropped out of playing I was starting to understand some of the knack of conserving mana for emergency plays though. I should get back into it at some point, Arena's a really well-done system.
There's so many new cards though it's kind of intimidating hah hah.
bang
yes and no i looked up some decklists and i was like "oh that looks cool" and then i looked at the pitiful amount of cards i had available and just kind of made do
i'm a pretty decent deckbuilder in standard i was really good back in the day
my playstyle is kind of dependent on having database-brain if that makes sense it's why i tend towards control decks
bang
the company that makes the game kind of hates control decks and usually warps the metagame to revolve around big midrange multicolored creatures because that's how you make money
bang
>>616718 it's pretty cool that it's basically the current standard format but in a very accessible (but still with the depth available to the card game) format
bang
i used the word format twice in that sentence with completely different meanings each time huh
bang
i think the second one should've been "medium" also why am i getting a burst of energy now that it's 30 minutes past my bedtime this is awful i'm upset about it
Anno
Guess the thrill of the game's lit a fire in your soul!
One thing I really like about Arena is it's entirely accessible without spending a cent. Sure you can accelerate your card gain and enter more drafts early on with spending money. But everything in the game is within reach with the in-game currency. Unless they've changed that from the closed beta but I don't believe they have. Like you can even turn the gold into microtransaction currency if you get a good draft session and win enough games.
bang
yeah it's definitely nice that you can play for free and earn things at a relatively nice rate and the decks that they supply you with (one a day usually) are actually decently competitive (partially because everyone else is playing them too)
the one-time purchase 5 dollar beginner pack is definitely worth it though and the price isn't super prohibitve 5 bucks for a draft once a week is very easily justified (esp when drafting at a LGS is usually 12-15)
the fact that you can't directly purchase/trade for cards and the fact that you can't resell them is pretty annoying though eventually this format will phase out into the next set and then a lot of those virtual cards will be essentially worthless
at least with real cards you can offload during the later stages of the season, and some cards will retain value going forward
Anno
I don't think scarcity really works all that well in a digital environment though. And without scarcity you're not really going to get a reasonable card economy. I mean Valve tried it with Artifact and look how irrelevant that turned out.
At least for someone like me who doesn't really intend to spend money on something like this game, the fact that the cards just get phased out isn't a big deal. All I end up losing is the time spent.
bang
at least in artifact you can trade cards though like if you want to make a competitive deck it's as simple as paying the flat amount that it costs you to get the cards you need in MTG it's the same in real life, but in MTG Arena you have to slowly build up your cards through RNG packs, whether paid for or earned it's got pros and cons to it in its own way for instance my wannabe control deck works as a functioning deck because i'm not up against powerful tournament-worthy decklists and by the time it gets there, i'll be high enough in matchmaking that i'll be against similar power levels
but it's frustrating because i'd rather just skip to that part
Hah hah hah. I always tell people that don't ever or rarely see snow that you think it's a beautiful thing until it's not just something you're seeing but having to live through. Snow is a miserable experience!

God the uncomfortable tension between me and my roommate is palpable. on the rare occasion we interact it's friendly and civil, and we both kind of ask questions to force small talk but he obviously just feels so uneasy and awkward. and then that makes me feel uneasy and awkward. So they're not very pleasant interactions.
which is a shame because he seems like a friendly, normal guy and I feel like we could have been friends if things had worked out differently.

We have Parliamentary Sovereignty if the State wills it, there is no freedom. .
Anno
>>616883 they want to put backdoors in all sorts of encryption for "investigating terrorism" reason s essentially making it worthless well they have put the bill forward they just need to implement it
>>616886 yes mandating there be a way to unencrypt encrypted data makes a lot of sense. what if the hackers could just pay them to get the backdoor more funds for the state
it's a bit of a loophole because they're not forcing companies to offer services with backdoor access but they are forcing them to create one upon request.
I think there's a good chance other, bigger governments pressured Australia into it. So that it can be used as a weakpoint in global surveillance.
like how the NSA used to sent information on American citizens to Britain because then they didn't need a warrant to spy on their own citizens. and then Britain would send the analysis back.
but that's just a theory. >>616893 yeah but fuck labor.

Oh. They've done some rebranding. It's the "Reason Party" now. That's a shame. The name was like 50% of the draw.
But still, they're a party that stands for moderate centralist policies with a streak of libertarianism .anti-censorship. pro-personal freedoms and human rights
But also big in favor of government safety nets that protect people from falling too far.
They're a small party so i guess they can afford to be a bit idealistic.
But not that any of this matters to you since they're not in NSW.
