The_Jujunater | You're seriously stupid if you think misogynistic shit like this gets away with it because it slaps cat ears on a woman and creates a new "catgirls" species.
So, this "catperson" isn't human? Cool. Let's go with that premise. She isn't human, and so that disavows yourself of any responsibility for being a misogynist. So, speaking literally like you are right now, does your attraction to this "catgirl" make you a furry? You know she's a fantasy of a human woman. I know she's a fantasy of a human woman. Let's not pretend I'm making huge leaps here when I say this reflects very messed up attitudes toward females.
Tl;dr: This "catgirl" is a depiction of a woman you own as a pet and fuck. Don't try to get around it. | You're seriously stupid if you think misogynistic shit like this gets away with it because it slaps cat ears on a woman and creates a new "catgirls" species.

shawnapiranha | Why is everyone on here saying yes to the registry?? The answer is NO, you don't have to buy off the registry (you don't have to buy a gift at all). Yes, the registry is a nice guideline, but if it's not your style, buy something that is. Heartfelt is always appreciated.
I was the MOH at my best friend's wedding and had spent quite a bit of money on my dress, her shower and her bachelorette party by the time the wedding rolled around. As she and her hubby were moving to a new city, I got them a book of hikes in that area (they are avid outdoorsy people) which she LOVED and got a bit teary when she saw it. Her brother's both got her backpacking gear (not on the registry) and they both loved that too.
TL:DR sometimes there are things you want but can't register for, and if you know the couple well enough to go that route, you should! | Why is everyone on here saying yes to the registry??

ThePurpleNinjaTurtle | I think my most notable case of this is when I got into a fight with a drunk guy throwing his girlfriend around after a night of drinking. I pulled his attention and aggression to me after I told him to leave her alone. I didn't get overly emotional and automatically hit him (even though I partially wanted to), but tried to talk him down instead. He rushed me and a we went to the ground together. I have some amateur MMA experience and while he swung away and hit me, it was like I didn't feel anything. Pain didn't exist when he made contact with my ribs or head. I had perfect vision and control. Step 1: Get him clear of the women nearby. So I adjust our weight to roll away. Check. Step 2: Make sure he and I are away from dangerous curbs, cars, or metal in this area. Also move so he is in between his other "buddies" just in case they try to rush me. Check. Step 3 (Choice): Block or attack? Block while shouting at him to calm down and see if he reacts. Nope, too drunk and emotional. Step 4 (Choice): Attack. How much force? Throat, knees, nose, chin, and eyes all easily accessible with no defense while he's swinging. Don't want a police report where he's hurt more than I am and risk jail time or law suit. Subdue instead. Step 5: Close space to prevent heavy swings, but not enough for teeth. Step 6: Leg sweep, but protect his head before it hits concrete. Step 7: Put pressure on elbow joints using body weight and shift over to keep off balance until head lock is in place. Step 8: Position him between myself and his friends to verbally assure them he isn't harmed, but that he will be if they try to attack and wait for help until everyone is calm.
All this happened within seconds and I clearly remember it. The odd part is that it wasn't until 5 minutes after everyone cleared out that I suddenly had a mini panic attack. Adrenaline was still in my system, but left with only a memory and no physical action made me break down. I was mostly scared that the thought of having such a clear head that picked out his throat and eyes as immediate options for a potential kill shots crossed my mind so casually. My other friends that get in fights want to beat up the person to show who's strongest. I had a nearly level headed thought to severely damage or even kill him just to stop the fight.
TL;DR- became terminator in drunken bar brawl. | I think my most notable case of this is when I got into a fight with a drunk guy throwing his girlfriend around after a night of drinking.

Torem_Kamina | Platinum Top Lane Nasus (kinda) main.
I never had any problems with any of those 4 champions, but judiging from how much I get supposedly counterpicked with these guys there seems to be some misconception.
First off: Anything that does entirely physical damage is generally a bad pick against Nasus unless he has sick armor shred/pen tools. Don't do it. Also, anything that has AoE and damages the wave in trades and pushes to Nasus' turret is also generally bad. If you combine both you get Riven and Renekton. Very popular picks that only work with a jungler ready to pick up your work and dive Nasus, which is the important part about shutting down Nasus.
Riven and Pantheon have no sustain and their entire damage is physical. Panth doesn't even have a combat ult. They will start losing at level 6 to all-ins (panth) or 7-9ish (riven) due to sustain issues.
Shyvana is a decent pick, she can punish and dive him quite effecitvely with a jungler and she has mixed damage.
The best champs to punish Nasus are Kayle, Teemo, Irelia, Urgot and Vladimir. Ryze also works, so does Shen with MPen marks, glyphs and quints. Some of those picks are manageable by maxing E but they don't fall off too hard and do a good job of keeping him down for a while.
They have mixed/true damage and can do a lot of damage without pushing too hard plus they are hard to kill even with wither. Most of them are easily camped though so keep warding up, Wither plus Jungle CC is very hard to escape.
so, tl;dr:
Option 1: Physical bully + repeated dives with jungle
Option 2: Mixed damage without minion damaging AoE, needs to outlast his sustain by either hitting too hard or being too spammable/not gated by ressource management (hi, oom pantheon) | Platinum Top Lane Nasus (kinda) main.

Urbanscuba | Lee is an exceptionally excellent counter, although any champion with a strong lvl 1-5 duel potential will work. Burst is also rather good, as is cc.
Snare especially does wonders.
---
As a jungler valid counters are:
Lee
Khazix
Nocturne
Pantheon
Udyr
Vi
Wukong
>Your plan should be to take red level one and attempt to catch him at his second buff. Few champions are worse 1v1 at level two than Yi. Whether this is successful or not invest in a green ward or two and keep his jungle warded. One kill on him pays for 4 wards
Warwick gets a special mention, he can't really 1v1 yi but his ult can render a fed yi completely worthless.
-----
As a top laner:
Ryze (Non-skillshot 1.5s snare on a low cooldown, build frozen heart)
Malphite (you destroy his AS and can counter his dives by ulting whoever he q's to)
Jax (you can 1v1 with counterstrike if you're even on items)
>As a top laner vs a jungle yi you should be able to safely exert a lot of pressure as long as you ward river. Depending on your communication and ELO you can organize counter ganks as well.
---
As mid just look for reliable burst and cc, things like:
Annie (if he doesn't dodge your AoE with q)
LeBlanc (double chains means you kite him hard)
Lux (if you can land snare he's dead)
---
As an adc you're at the whim of your team, but these champs could give you an edge:
Tristana (your ult can counter his initiate in teamfights and your w is a reliable escape as long as he's used his q)
Varus (the snare, if you can land it, can completely shut him down at any point on the game)
Vayne (if you have the mechanics to play her well just make sure you have ult before extending and fight him near a wall if you can. Counter his q with your condemn and kite him hard, 6 shots should kill nearly any yi)
---
Support (my domain of choice):
Thresh (If you can land a q onto yi he's done. Cast the q towards his target when he q's for a guaranteed hit. If he doesn't have his ult your kit also has two slows. Worst case scenario you gtfo and send your adc a lantern.)
Lulu (she's the counter-engage queen. You have whimsy to shutdown his damage and your ult and shield to mitigate it. Without his ult your q can render him immobile as well)
Braum (once you're 6 you have two reliable cc's for him to eat and a hard defense to put up for whoever his target is. Wait for him to q, while he's in midair jump to his target and spool up your ult so that it casts when he appears. While he's in the air either hit him with a q or an auto and your team should guarantee a stun. Without his ult you have hard peel with the slows+stun)
Leona (The other supports struggle with his ult negative their slows. Leona doesn't. When he uses his q just prime your zenith blade and jump onto him. Hit him with your q then immediately cast your ult on top of him, he won't be able to dodge it and your adc should be able to burst him with the help of your passive)
----
TLDR: His main initiate (q, alpha strike) is highly predictably. Abuse that and lock him down when he comes out of it before he can even get going. If you have an unfavorable fight and somebody gets caught leave them, yi's resets can quickly turn 5 champs with some damage on them into a penta if they don't have cooldowns. | Lee is an exceptionally excellent counter, although any champion with a strong lvl 1-5 duel potential will work.

nachokage | Not a Nasus main, but I think I can help a bit with it as I've got some friends that amined him a lot and played against the dog a lot of times.
I would personally recommend Urgot vs Nasus. You wreck him until levels 1-5, where you have to start playing a bit more careful (controlling minion positioning, timing his W and being aware of his ult and Q farm) and once he gets his ult he'll end up using it for trying to survive an EQQQ combo.
There are 2 ways that nasus will try to deal with you: 1) Still try to farm Q and max it, where it will probably become a free win for you or 2) he'll max E for pushing, getting some minions and farm Q in the jungle, where you will get free farm, and outscale him since he doesn't really have much to farm when the jungle is not his but still lets him become useful faster.
If you want more metalike solutions, I usually pick Lee Sin or Renekton for going all in early and snowballing for winning before Nasus becomes somehow strong. Other possibilities might be Vladimir (you're also weak early, but not like him and your range helps you to bully him since lvl1, even though you need a lot of warding to avoid early ganks) who scales pretty well into mid/late game (not as much as him, but you'll be stronger faster and bring up a lot of damage on teamfights while still being nearly as undying as him).
No matter what you do, don't push that fast his turret. Freeze the lane. Last hit and whenever he comes to take a single minion make sure he loses half his hp bar for it. Only push if you find out that your team needs you on teamfights, and still try to never let Nasus farm a single minion by going back to lane and freezing it when he's around.
TLDR: Ranged champions to poke him whenever he is in range until he leaves or dies or Strong early game champions that are able to freeze the lane after lvl2 and deny him QFarm/Gold/exp because of the absurd early damage.
Hope it helps. | Not a Nasus main, but I think I can help a bit with it as I've got some friends that amined him a lot and played against the dog a lot of times.

There are 2 ways that nasus will try to deal with you: 1) Still try to farm Q and max it, where it will probably become a free win for you or 2) he'll max E for pushing, getting some minions and farm Q in the jungle, where you will get free farm, and outscale him since he doesn't really have much to farm when the jungle is not his but still lets him become useful faster.
If you want more metalike solutions, I usually pick Lee Sin or Renekton for going all in early and snowballing for winning before Nasus becomes somehow strong. Other possibilities might be Vladimir (you're also weak early, but not like him and your range helps you to bully him since lvl1, even though you need a lot of warding to avoid early ganks) who scales pretty well into mid/late game (not as much as him, but you'll be stronger faster and bring up a lot of damage on teamfights while still being nearly as undying as him).
No matter what you do, don't push that fast his turret. Freeze the lane. Last hit and whenever he comes to take a single minion make sure he loses half his hp bar for it. Only push if you find out that your team needs you on teamfights, and still try to never let Nasus farm a single minion by going back to lane and freezing it when he's around. | Ranged champions to poke him whenever he is in range until he leaves or dies or Strong early game champions that are able to freeze the lane after lvl2 and deny him QFarm/Gold/exp because of the absurd early damage.
Hope it helps. |
belgabad | Really, you need to keep him from all-in. If you can bait out his E before an engage, your jungler has a small window of opportunity to hank him very effectively and he also loses a good chunk of damage due to his passive.
You either farm to late game with an AD that out scales him or poke/out sustain him.
TL;DR smart engages where he can't escape or out trade you and/or poke. | Really, you need to keep him from all-in. If you can bait out his E before an engage, your jungler has a small window of opportunity to hank him very effectively and he also loses a good chunk of damage due to his passive.

keyer | You can counter Nami with Leona. You can e+q to her. She is quite squishy even with health runes so looses direct contact. It's good to do engage after her w (heal/atack) and even better after she uses her q (buble). Her abilities have quite a lot of CD at first.

PenneVodka | You want poke supports, but unless you're comfortable with Sona don't try her into this match up. Sona is a little UP still and to beat Morg you need to know your Q range like the back of your hand.
Instead I think the easiest match up is Karma for Morg. Karma beats Morg so hard, your poke is way too much. You can zyra too, but make sure you know how to position right, bc if she snares you in a bad spot you're dead. You can also play against her as Annie, and I personally find the match up easy , but you need to know how to bait her shield.

DyeMiX | As Jungler: Counterjungle, shes pretty weak if she cant hit her charged q.
Lee Sin is a pretty good choice for that. He can counterjungle and kill her and if u get cought u can easily escape.
As Lane: Ward at the spots she can hit u with her q. When the enemy laner is able to kill u only with a Vi ult without her q then u should Ward a little more in the back that u can see her before she comes in range.

DankeyKong | As someone that mains yi i can say that the 2 most annoying things to get through are stun and blind. Both if those make me completely useless. As a Master Yi i ALWAYS wait until most if not all the cc is used on the other people on my team before i go in and start the killing spree. It might be a bit different in higher elo but that strategy got me from bronze 5 to my current silver 2. I find that everyone in these elo are too uncoordinated.
TL:DR if you see him picked, try to get lots of stun and blind. Also fear might not work as well because if he ulted already he will just sprint in the opposite direction then sprint back. | As someone that mains yi i can say that the 2 most annoying things to get through are stun and blind.

_Lemongrab | I just I just recently started playing Lee Sin as a jungle main. I had to play against an Udyr who power farmed as usual and would come out for good ganks. It got to the point where he rushed Triforce and had Feral Flare already and he could just run out and chase everyone down. The only thing I can think of in this matchup is to try and gank hard while he farms and punish him for not helping as much. But if my ganks are unsuccessful then I'm stuck not scaling into late game while the enemy team kills my laners.

hail_swaglord | DO NOT be afraid of his windwall if you are laning vs yasuo, it has a fairly long cooldown comparing to other abilities such as ziggs' or leblanc's q. Try baiting the windwall out and he is extremely vulnerable next trade. One more thing, if your jungler is ganking enemy yasuo, don't fool yourself of walking to close to him with squishy ap carries as vel'koz or above mentioned duo as he can/will try to attack and kill you due to his inability to escape the gank by just walking back to his turret. Keep track of his e stacks as it has a huge impact in early/mid trades.
I have the most problems against yasuo when I play Draven, as the axes don't bounce off the wall so beware of that in teamfights. As kiting yasuo, remember not to walk near your minions because he will use them to dash to you. Try taking advantage of yasuo's pushing/overextending and trying to all-in you all the time.
tl;dr: try staying out of his range while poking him, dont be afraid of windwall because the cd is massive, pressure him from distance | DO NOT be afraid of his windwall if you are laning vs yasuo, it has a fairly long cooldown comparing to other abilities such as ziggs' or leblanc's q.

JohnKarthus | I think a lot of people aren't suggesting the best counter pick. Ryze is very good against renekton in lane because he can completely nullify all-ins by using his rune prison. Not only that but he can also consistently poke renekton down after getting tear. The only true threat a Renekton poses to a Ryze is the fact that he can set up really good ganks on Ryze since he has a gap closer and stun and Ryze can only use his rune prison on one person. Eventually as the game goes on, if you are playing Ryze and you manage to make it to late game, regardless of winning lane or not, you will be much more useful than him since you can wipe out his team and provide a good frontline while all he does is soak damage.
If you are not confident in being able to play the Ryze vs. Renekton matchup I would suggest picking people who can go relatively even in lane while still being able to have good impacts in the game. Champions such as Shyvana, Lee Sin, Munco and Trundle are usually able to lane vs a Renekton without giving up free kills or being massively outfarmed and pretty much all of them are more useful in the later parts of the game as well (Lee is more or less dependant on your mechanics with him).
I used to main renekton but I really think he just falls off too hard compared to the really good late game tanks and bruisers and this is what you usually want to use to your advantage.
TL;DR: Pick Ryze and if you aren't confident in that, choose a champion that can more or less go even with him and then be much more useful late game.

ArmySick | Hope you don't mind me disagreeing, but a under her tower leona is a lot more useful than a close tou your tower leona.
The stun lock all-in potential is awesome for a lane gank of the jungler, since leo can keep the opposing adc locked enough time for the vi/lee/elise/fiddle/xin to get there.
when she is close to your turret, UNLESS their far ahead enough for a SoloQ uncoordinated dive [in that case, your lane's lost anyway], she is useless since she can't use CC on you.
I like to freeze up the lane near my turret or at maximum in the middle of the lane, so my supp can:
1- Harass her
2- Be able to push out the other adc if she all-ins and making enemy adc have a hard time running away
3- help me run to my on turret and sustain back.
[depending on the support picked].
tl;dr: freeze it up at middle of the lane/near your turret , and play accordingly with your support type.
edit: Also note that after leona uses up her r-e-w-q she's pretty much useless, so if their adc didnt follow up or you didnt get that much bursted [half hp ~~] you're good to go and ignore her and it's your turn to blow cds on the other adc] | Hope you don't mind me disagreeing, but a under her tower leona is a lot more useful than a close tou your tower leona.

stanburger | I don't really rate this idea as Rammus, he's not a bad jungler but i don't really see how he counters yi more than other options.
The rammus would have to out gank the yi for the most part because his clears so poor that yi would snowball ahead if his ganks aren't sucessful or rammus just afk farms. Also rammus can't invade yi very successfully. - this makes you better off with more agressive junglers who can both gank a lot early to snowball and invade yi. (lee singha and elise).
Also if yi gets ahead theres very little rammus can do to stop him, his taunt only does so much and rammus also needs the taunt for engage, which won't work on a yi with ghostblade, ruinking items. Yi is much more vulnerable to displacement, such as alistar and lee sin.
Then dueling potential when yi splitpushes, rammus can't deal with this either. Unless the rammus is fed as hell he wont duel the yi because he doesnt have the damage to capitalise on his cc. Jax and irelia do this nicely.

Pantheon in the early stages is extremely reliant on mana, you can take advantage of this buy buying early sustain such as, cloth 5 or crystalline flask, this will quickly run him out of mana. After this you want to build a armour item such as sun fire cape, after that you can build some damage or more tank depending on your champ and who's winning. When I play pantheon I find my hardest counters are Shen, Chogath, Malphite, Udyr. They absolutely crush me, the worst being Shen.
TLDR: Play Shen. Cloth 5 pots. GG | Pantheon main here.

halonjuice | Leona has a few problems, her main problem being that Morgana and Thresh are super popular right now. Leona's other problem is that she is a super all-in champion: Once you go in, you are in and committed and you have no good inherent escape in case you get ganked or you made a mistake.
Morgana's spellshield makes Leona much more useless and (if somewhat good) forces Leona to be much more creative with her playing. All Morgana has to do is spellshield whoever Leona E's on and Leona can't do much to that person anymore.
Thresh, while not quite as big an annoyance as Morgana, can (depending on how good he is) flay Leona's e, effectively denying and stopping Leona's gapcloser and prevent Leona from getting close enough to do anything else. This of course gets a bit better at lvl 6 when Leona gets ult.
Zyra has been nerfed a good amount from before. She's still an amazing counter-engager with her ult but she is very squishy and dies if caught by pretty much anything. She does offer good poke though, still.
Annie support has been nerfed considerably since her glory days. Her passive stun now scales with levels (so it is weaker and stuns for much less at early levels) and the base damage of all her damage abilities have been lowered but she has better scaling (to weaken Annie support and strengthen Ap carry Annie). As a result, Annie is much less of a dominant early-mid game support.
I am not an AD main so the ADC stuff is just what I've observed/ believe
I actually see some Ezreals still and a few Graves every now and then. Ezreal's problem is that he needs to land his q to be effective (which has always been his problem) but Lucian and Twitch just seem to do so much more. I actually don't think Graves is that bad, he's kind of like a different Lucian. Graves is really more of an ad caster than an ADC with how his kit works, but he has to get pretty close and personal most of the time. With the safety/utility of Lucian and the pressure/assassination potential from Twitch, I assume Graves is just less useful.
Lucian is incredibly dominant early game and a great duelist/trader. A good Lucian can make a lot happen and he can still do damage from pretty far away with his ult. Lucian has an annoying amount of safety with his dash and the range of his ult. Twitch is pretty much an adc assassin that creates pressure when he can't be seen. He pops out of nowhere and bursts a squishy down with his ambush bonus, botrk, and ult. Most other ad carries lose pressure when they can't be seen on the map, but twitch actually gains pressure as long as he keeps making himself felt in the game.
As for Ryze, he is usually played top lane as a counter to most top laners because Ryze is really good at punshing and zoning most melee top laners (and guess what kind of top laners are popular right now). As a bonus he'll also usually end up scaling to lategame better than his top counterpart as well.

Riverain130 | I mained Miss Fortune in Season 2 but stopped playing her from Season 3 onwards, not just because there were better ADCs out there that could do what she could do, but also because her strengths just doesn't help to cover her weaknesses.
Her Q has decent damage but most Miss Fortune players will try to hit you with the second shot instead of the first, avoid this by constantly moving when you're behind minions, the second shot is less likely to hit you that way if the second shot can't "lock" onto you to hit you.
Her ult is powerful, but almost any support nowadays is able to stop it instantly - Leona stuns, Thresh flay/hook, Nami bubble, Braum shield. If you're against Miss Fortune, ask for a support (or even PLAY as a support) that has the CC capability to stop her ult.
Speaking of CC capability, Miss Fortune only has one soft CC - her E, the AoE slow. It's good for waveclear but doesn't offer her much escape potential. Usually Miss Fortunes will rather turn and kill you instead of trying to get out. As long as you keep attacking her to avoid her passive from coming up, and stop her ult damage, it's relatively easy to beat her.
TL;DR: Miss Fortune is strong, but lacks hard CC and escape. Use this to your advantage by ganking or locking her down. | I mained Miss Fortune in Season 2 but stopped playing her from Season 3 onwards, not just because there were better ADCs out there that could do what she could do, but also because her strengths just doesn't help to cover her weaknesses.

C3LM3R | Leona in lane hits 3 powerspikes at levels 2, 3, and 6.
For the first spike, what this means is you need to hard push your lane and hit level 2 earlier than leona does. If she zenith/stuns you while you're only level 1, it will at the very least, burn you through your pots, and then she's just going to all in you again once off cd.
If you hit level 2 first, try and all in her. If you at least burn leona or her ADC down to half health and keep them there, she definitely won't go in on you before she has shield, and even when she gets it, she'll still play passive until it's stronger when she hits levels 4-5.
If both lanes are relatively equal, you need to keep her bush warded starting the minion before she hits 3 so you can keep an eye on her. A full QWE combo out of the bush with an ADC that can proc all 3 passives could probably kill you, or send you out of lane and start it snowballing away from you.
Understand that leona is all-in with 0 sustain. That's it. Which means if she can't all in you because she's or her ADC are lower in health, abuse them and don't give them time to recover. In line with that, If leona *does* all in you, watch how many of her passives the opposing ADC procs. If they're synced enough that they pop all three, GTFO. If the ADC is late following up and only one gets popped, Switch the aggression around. Those passive procs account for a bit of leonas threat, and if the ADC misses 2/3 of them, thats 70-100 damage they missed out on. Now, if you and your supp go ham on the other adc since leona no longer has any peel or burst, you may actually come out ahead. Just remember, leona's combo is ~10s cd. If you're still skirmishing when that comes off, it will turn the fight back around.
Be aware, if you're in range to AA Leona (unless cait/kog/trist), she can probably get a zenith blade off onto you. Its best to harass her with skillshots if you can, and only with AA's with your supports skills off CD in case she all-ins you.
When Leona hits 6, she *will* go all in on you. Do not stay in lane without your support. Do not count on your tower saving you. Giving up some CS/XP/Tower to wait for jungle/support so you don't die is far better than giving up all 3 + a kill. The Range on her ult is approximately 3/4 of a screen away, so even if you think you're safe, you're probably not. At 6, If you can see her on your screen, she's a threat.
Ultimately though, Leona isn't countered by ADC's. The other support is what shuts down Leona. I climbed from low silver to Gold 1 (Plat soon, hopefully) on leona's back, and the only time I really had problems was seeing a Janna or Ali on the other team. A good Janna will ruin Leona's world, and I mean shit all over it like a puppy with diarrhea. Ali will make Leona second-guess every all in since she requires her adc to follow up. An Ali headbutting away the enemy adc when Leona goes in just leaves a stuck Leona getting beaten in the face.
After Lane phase is over, you need to make Banshee's Veil a priority. I *will* aim for you with R. If I hit it, the team is coming for you. Know that.
And this is just advice for all champs in general, but if leona is behind, she has a really hard time catching up. If she can't survive going all in, then most of her usefulness to the team if negated.
TLDR; Hit 2 faster. Punish early. Make her afraid to all in. Expect the ham @ lvl 6. BV4Lyfe. Hope for Janna.
Edit: Forgot to add- If you know leona is in an unwarded bush, don't try to ward it right away. Just assume Leona is there prepping to kill you. Ward range = zenith blade and a combo followup.

Albireofalakain | Go hard before level 3. His level 1 is weak as all hell - either he takes flip and does virtually no damage beyond that, or takes Q and will struggle to so much as farm because he has no displacement to escape. At level 2, he takes the other, but still won't have the damage or speed to really do anything. This is the point where you should look to call for ganks and start shutting him out. By level 3, his second rank in Q may just be enough to start really chipping away at your health. A champion with quick dashes to recover from the flip's displacement may be helpful as well. Also, keep in mind that any champion with a skill that makes them targetable will still take ticks of poison in those frames if it's already been applied. It won't go through invulnerabilities, however.
Tl:dr Wreck him before level 3, or at least before ult, and try to bring mobility and counters to his displacement. | Go hard before level 3.

notatheist | Tattoos. When I was in high school, I saw a tattoo on another student, and I thought, wow!...that girl is as cool as it gets. Then, a while later, after I had moved to another state, I went to a motorcycle show with one of my mom's friends, who was visiting from where we used to live. There were some tattoo artists with booths set up at this show, and I saw my chance. I talked my moms friend into pretending she was my guardian, and I gave the guy twenty dollars to draw a little black heart on my breast. Just like the one I had seen on the girl before at my previous high school.
I thought my new tattoo was the coolest thing in the world. My boyfriend was out of town that day, so I went and showed it off to all of friends instead. Later on that night, I felt so much pain in my shoulder area, I went to bed early, and because I felt so ill, I passed on going with my family to New York City the following morning. Turns out I missed an awesome trip, and it was the whole reason my mom's friend was visiting to begin with. When my boyfriend got back in town, he found out from his friends that I showed them my part of my breast, and he got angry and broke up with me over it.
Eventually, after my tattoo healed, it looked horrible. It was not solid black anymore, it was all patchy looking. I always managed to hide it from my mom, but many years later, when her friend was visiting again, I showed it to my mom and told her the whole story, thinking everyone would have a good laugh. Instead, my mom got mad at her friend for ever letting me do it, and they don't speak to each other to this day. Now I have this ugly, half colored in, heart shaped tattoo on my breast and I hate it. I wish I had never got this stupid thing. So uncool!

I thought my new tattoo was the coolest thing in the world. My boyfriend was out of town that day, so I went and showed it off to all of friends instead. Later on that night, I felt so much pain in my shoulder area, I went to bed early, and because I felt so ill, I passed on going with my family to New York City the following morning. Turns out I missed an awesome trip, and it was the whole reason my mom's friend was visiting to begin with. When my boyfriend got back in town, he found out from his friends that I showed them my part of my breast, and he got angry and broke up with me over it.
Eventually, after my tattoo healed, it looked horrible. It was not solid black anymore, it was all patchy looking. I always managed to hide it from my mom, but many years later, when her friend was visiting again, I showed it to my mom and told her the whole story, thinking everyone would have a good laugh. Instead, my mom got mad at her friend for ever letting me do it, and they don't speak to each other to this day. Now I have this ugly, half colored in, heart shaped tattoo on my breast and I hate it. I wish I had never got this stupid thing. So uncool!
Tl;dr got a tattoo when I was under aged, bunch of bad things happened because of it, tattoo is ugly now. Tattoos aren't cool
| AskReddit | t5_2qh1i | ci3y1lc | Tattoos. When I was in high school, I saw a tattoo on another student, and I thought, wow!...that girl is as cool as it gets. Then, a while later, after I had moved to another state, I went to a motorcycle show with one of my mom's friends, who was visiting from where we used to live. There were some tattoo artists with booths set up at this show, and I saw my chance. I talked my moms friend into pretending she was my guardian, and I gave the guy twenty dollars to draw a little black heart on my breast.

CheezyPantz | You're pretty much going to get fucked.
No matter what-unless it's in a parking lot-always always always get the police involved. You can file a report now if you want to, but that guy can simply lie and say it never happened.
Even if you had called the police you would probably still get fucked in the ass.
I have comprehensive coverage and uninsured motorist coverage and had to work hard just to get back enough to get another car. Some jackass with no insurance hit my first car when I was inside school eating lunch (high school a few years ago) and I had to go outside because the police were at my car since someone hit it. I naievely assumed that this was vaguely a good thing, since the police were already there and everything and the accident obviously was of no fault of my own as I wasn't even in the car. I assumed a person lightly tapped my bumper (natural assumption as it was parked 20ft away from a 3 way stop, one street being a one way) and someone was just following proper procedure. Instead I get out there and the shittiest Ranger I've ever seen is being pulled out of the utterly destroyed rear end of my 05 Taurus. Turns out that this guy doesn't have insurance and called a tow truck and tried to bribe the guy into towing his car in away without cops involved. Both the tow truck guy and the roofers working on a house on the street called the police though. The cop comes right up to me and asks for my information, which I fished out of the car, and then says, "Son I'm sorry but this guy doesn't have insurance. You're not going to have a car for a while" and he was fucking right. This asshole that hit me also tried to make the case that I was illegally parked, noting that my car was blocking a driveway, so it's not his fault. The cop just points at the ground where my fucking tire marks START 7 feet behind where my car now was and says "he was legal before you hit him"
So 2 weeks later my insurance finally processes my claim and wants to give me their assessed value of my car. Now, I bought my 05 Taurus with 70k on it for $3500. This is because the manager at the dealer is a close family friend, and they gave it to us at cost. At the time the car was valued at 7k and listed for 8. My insurance wanted to give me $3k because that's what I paid for it minus wear. I owned this car for 25 days before it got totaled. I did not take $500 of value off the car yet. So my mom got involved. She said, "if you can get me a comparable car for that amount then we'll take it, if not we need more than that." So another 3 weeks later I get a check for 6k. I lucked out, but I had to fight for it and go without a car for a while. And 6k becomes not 6k when you still have to pay the 1k deductible, and deal with the $30/mo insurance increase that happens when you're a 16 yo who gets his car totaled to, again, no fault of his own.
The guy who hit my car? Was never required to pay me jack shit by the state. Got fined $500 and that's it. I was essentially punished for having insurance and he was rewarded for not. My insurance company sued him and lost.
tl;dr you're going to have to fight your own insurance company to get paid, since the law doesn't give a fuck about you, and the jackwagon who has no insurance is going to get away with it. | You're pretty much going to get fucked.

debunking_bunk | Imagine the following scenario: Joe graduates from college with $40k is student loans and gets a $40k/year job. Now, both Obama's new rules (10%) and the old rules (15%) were a percentage of discretionary income (i.e. post housing, food, utilities, medicine). Assuming you get a raise of 5% per year and the poverty line increases at a rate of 3.3%, you will be start paying $281 per month, end paying $1181 per month (of course 20 years down the road) and have paid a total of $167K on a $40K loan in those 20 years, with about $80K forgiven (remember that the loan is growing faster than you are paying it off). Then assume that toward the latter end of those 20 years you get a big promotion and your income jumps 15% in one year. From that point until the 20 year mark, you will essentially be paying *all* of that added income toward the now larger-than-when-you-started-principal on the loan.
See this [loan calculator](
tl;dr - It is not good to encourage people to pay as little as possible toward their loan obligations because it will likely bite them in the long run.

OhUmHmm | I do not specialize in economic history and haven't seriously looked into the alternatives to capitalism since my undergraduate days; even then I was limited to some of the more traditional texts. Hopefully someone more specialized can answer some of the nuances.
I think the claim about capitalism is not just about population growth. I think they would claim that even with zero population growth, capitalism requires growth.
Consider the following hypothetical scenario. 100 Humans are trapped aboard a self-sufficient space station. There are only 100 beds, so humans are not allowed to increase beyond 100 people (say through birth control). The space station can only produce enough food for 110 (so everyone gets a little extra food), and this production involves human effort combined with some machinery.
Thus, we have kept both population and production constant. In this context, assume everyone initially has an equal allocation of machinery, but capitalism reigns aboard the space station.
Some enterprising individuals save a portion of their food for a while and purchase the machinery from their fellow astronauts. In exchange for giving a large sum of food today, a minority has acquired a majority of the machinery. They can then rent it out to the others (who sold it, or were born without any rights to the machinery) in exchange for some chunk of their production.
Let's say initially the rates are somewhat reasonable -- 5% per day. Thus, each non-owner still gets 105% of their daily requirements. The owners acquire additional food from renting out their equipment. Some owners save their extra food and purchase machinery from other owners, consolidating ownership further. The possible sources of machinery are fewer in number, and they can even hold meetings to jointly decide rental rates. Some owners are rich enough that they no longer actually need to work, they can extract 100% of their daily needs purely from renting the equipment.
Taken to extremes, one or two individuals might own all the machinery (so called "capital"). The rates are arbitrarily high -- everyone needs to work to eat and everyone needs machinery to work -- until workers are receiving less than their full share of nutrients. Eventually workers die out, or throw a revolution.
Note this happened because of a number of questionable assumptions. For example, the idea that the rich get richer might be true for an individual over time but over the course of generations we tend to see mean reversion within families (see the classic "The Great Mediocrity"). In other words, Bill Gates kids are less rich than Bill Gates was. But there might still be a general aggregation of wealth over time -- I'm not an expert on that.
However, we also assumed the space station couldn't be more productive; that new machinery could not be built. In the initial space station, a perfect "utopia" in which all families retain equal machinery may limit growth or efficiency -- it takes capital to produce capital. By concentrating capital in the hands of the most efficient, the entire economy may grow larger in aggregate, even if most individuals get a smaller share.
**Tldr** the basic idea is that without some growth, the means of production become so concentrated that even basic human needs (perhaps including emotional and psychological needs like break time or disposable income) will go unmet for the majority of the populace, resulting in death or revolution. I think the evidence is mixed, as capitalism also arguably enables growth. In general, it's especially hard to disprove an "eventually X will happen" statement because it's easy to retort "well it just hasn't happened yet, but it will".
edit: forgot to cite. For some of the original arguments I would recommend the Marx-Engels Reader edited by Tucker. There are a bunch of counter arguments (and counters to the counter arguments), but I've always been fond of Hayek personally -- try the Road to Serfdom. I'm not really a macro economist so I can't provide more recent literature on how capitalism can enable growth, but you can look into recent examples like China and Chile relaxing market restrictions and how it impacted growth. | I do not specialize in economic history and haven't seriously looked into the alternatives to capitalism since my undergraduate days; even then I was limited to some of the more traditional texts.

Invader_Zirk | It really just boils down to practice, practice, practice. I don't think that CPUs are as bad to practice with as everyone says. If you're focused on learning to control your character, rather than beating an opponent, CPUs are great, since they put some external pressure on you while you figure your own buttons out.
If you're at a point where you can do whatever you want with your character, whenever you want, then you need to just play people, over and over and over. You learn things about how they play, how you play, and how to exploit those things. You get good at reading people, and not just their characters.
It sound to me like you're still in a phase where you're mastering your character's nuances. Go to training mode, get creative, just try wacky stuff out. Keep a basic CPU on your ass while you try to figure out your moves. If you're above that level, then set a goal for yourself when you play, it doesn't have to be winning, just getting something for yourself.
When I introduced my friend to Smash, he'd never played before. We'd play Brawl+ for hours though, as he tried to figure out how to hit me. I was a showboat, so I would spike him. A lot. He made it his mission to learn how to avoid that, so that I could never do it to him again. Slowly, he started figuring out DI, fast-falling, what vector to approach the ledge from, so that he wouldn't get spiked. In his mind, the only victory was playing a game where I couldn't spike him.
Now, 5 years later, I can't remember if I've spiked him at all in the past year. And the dude's gotten GOOD at Smash. We play P:M now, but the skills he learned off-ledge have carried over. Because of the gauntlet he put himself in, just playing to avoid spikes, he learned a ton of skills that eventually made his ledge game really solid. When he realized that he had gotten to the point where he had that ledge control, he then figured out that he could use it against me. Now *I'm* the one getting my ass spiked whenever I try to recover. It's funny how small goals can lead to something bigger like that.
TL;DR, I'd focus on 3 things-
1. Practice your character until you're confident that you have enough control over them to do the things you want to do. You don't have to be aMSa with Yoshi, wavedashing all over platforms and abusing the ledges like a cheap hooker, but don't let yourself get stopped by asking "Wait, how do I do that?"
2. Set a goal for yourself that isn't just to win. Maybe you want to play a game where you don't let yourself get juggled for more than a hit. Having that focus will teach you DI and other valuable defensive skills. And if that's your goal, then losing won't feel as awful so long as you made progress.
3. Don't try to have offensive goals until you have a handle on defense. Like my friend who I spiked all the time, he didn't try to play the offensive ledge game until he was confident I couldn't spike him anymore. Then he started practicing offense, comfortable that his defensive skills would save him if he made a mistake. | It really just boils down to practice, practice, practice. I don't think that CPUs are as bad to practice with as everyone says. If you're focused on learning to control your character, rather than beating an opponent, CPUs are great, since they put some external pressure on you while you figure your own buttons out.
If you're at a point where you can do whatever you want with your character, whenever you want, then you need to just play people, over and over and over. You learn things about how they play, how you play, and how to exploit those things. You get good at reading people, and not just their characters.
It sound to me like you're still in a phase where you're mastering your character's nuances. Go to training mode, get creative, just try wacky stuff out. Keep a basic CPU on your ass while you try to figure out your moves. If you're above that level, then set a goal for yourself when you play, it doesn't have to be winning, just getting something for yourself.
When I introduced my friend to Smash, he'd never played before. We'd play Brawl+ for hours though, as he tried to figure out how to hit me. I was a showboat, so I would spike him. A lot. He made it his mission to learn how to avoid that, so that I could never do it to him again. Slowly, he started figuring out DI, fast-falling, what vector to approach the ledge from, so that he wouldn't get spiked. In his mind, the only victory was playing a game where I couldn't spike him.
Now, 5 years later, I can't remember if I've spiked him at all in the past year. And the dude's gotten GOOD at Smash. We play P:M now, but the skills he learned off-ledge have carried over. Because of the gauntlet he put himself in, just playing to avoid spikes, he learned a ton of skills that eventually made his ledge game really solid. When he realized that he had gotten to the point where he had that ledge control, he then figured out that he could use it against me. Now I'm the one getting my ass spiked whenever I try to recover. It's funny how small goals can lead to something bigger like that.
TL;DR, I'd focus on 3 things-
Practice your character until you're confident that you have enough control over them to do the things you want to do. You don't have to be aMSa with Yoshi, wavedashing all over platforms and abusing the ledges like a cheap hooker, but don't let yourself get stopped by asking "Wait, how do I do that?"
Set a goal for yourself that isn't just to win. Maybe you want to play a game where you don't let yourself get juggled for more than a hit. Having that focus will teach you DI and other valuable defensive skills. And if that's your goal, then losing won't feel as awful so long as you made progress.

jbw10299 | One time when I Robotripped I was with my buddy and we both did a bottle and a half each. We started out at my apartment where I started to feel the effects. Everything was all good but then I started having very bad thoughts. Like something was just not right about the whole situation. And not knowing what it was made me slowly go into a bad trip. After about 45 minutes my other friend came over and asked if we would want to take a drive to Pittsburgh, I live about 40 minutes away, I agreed immediately because the change of setting I thought would do wonders for me. So we're in the car and me and my other tripping friend are in the backseat and my friend who's driving has his phone plugged in and was playing dubstep. That's when shit got *really* bad. By now I'm tripping nuts and every time the bass would hit, it would "hurt" me. It felt like a minor electric current going through my body every single time the bass would kick. Also during this time I would swear to God I was starting to swell up. I would make fists and could feel my skin between my fingers were alot closer to each other than normal. So I ask my friends "guys I think I'm having an allergic reaction to the cough syrup I feel really swelled up." My buddy driving takes a glance (dark car mind you) responds "oh no you're just tripping you're fine you're okay I swear. So obviously this calmed me down. But this started a slow decline into being so far trapped in my head I thought I was going insane. In my head it was, "my hands really don't feel right. "No I'm fine, he looked and said I was in just tripping." Couple minutes later. "There is seriously something wrong with me." "No if there was he would have said something, you're fine relax." Multiply varying versions of those thoughts and multiply that by 50000000. So we finally get to Pittsburgh and we get out and the friends take one look at me and ill never forget the look on their faces... my face was twice its size and my hands looked like mickey mouse hands. I lost it. I LOST it. The only way to describe it is every horrible thought that I was having was confirmed and I was lost in pure terror. On the way back we looked up the possible outcomes to a bad allergic reaction to Robotusin. My friend slips up and reads "possibly of heart failure" out loud. And of course I heard it. And this point tears started to fall because the thought I could actually die set in. Once we got home I laid on the couch where I got through the worst night of my life. Filled with the hands down worst headache I've ever had and multiple trips to the bathroom to throw up. Took me 3 months to fully get over it.
tl;dr:
I drank a bottle and a half of Robo. Had a bad allergic reaction to it in the car on a 40 minute trip to Pittsburgh. Lost my mind about if I actually was reacting to the cough syrup.

This is so true that it should probably be a sidebar sticky.
But also, there is a difference between caring about heightism and caring about your height. Don't care about your height. That's a dangerous road to go down. I was never one of these guys who measured myself, or looked up the heights of famous people, or thought about "day height" (which is one of the most ridiculous concepts I've ever encountered). I've always been happy or indifferent about my personal height. But, I do care deeply about heightism and even pray that one day we will have the courage to attempt to change society.

ThatIrishDude | I am obsessed with [EWR]( and anytime I start a new game, I absolutely always book a feud with HBK and CM Punk that transitions into the Punk/Austin feud everyone has been clamoring for.
Usually I slowly build to the feud around SummerSlam by making HBK the RAW General Manager for whatever reason best fits the scenario at the time. Shawn plays the good GM who does things by the book and makes fair choices when it comes to disputes between wrestlers. Enter CM Punk who will get some sort of "shot" at something, usually a title match at both NOC and the October PPV, but will always lose both times. On the road to Survivor Series, CM Punk and two other title contenders argue who should get to face the champion at the PPV. HBK comes out to calm the situation and quickly decides that Punk isn't even in consideration for a title shot, considering he already had two chances before. Shawn creates a contendership match for the main event and gives Punk a throw-away match. Punk takes offense to this and begins to insult and question HBK's decisions.
At Survivor Series, regardless if he has a match or not, Punk will always have a segment with Shawn, "officially" starting their feud by way of getting in each other's face. Punk challenges Shawn during the build to TLC, but Shawn refuses as he was retired by Taker and is a man of his word. Punk tells the audience that Shawn isn't the "great guy" that is presented on television. He's still the egotistical man from the 90's who only cares for himself. Punk says that Shawn's "not a changed man and never was. He used religion to make people believe that he changed his ways, but it's one disgusting lie." After the berating, a popular face (Kassius Ohno this last time around), will offer to fight Punk with Shawn in his corner. TLC comes around, Punk beats the popular face, and continues his anti-authority crusade in the build towards the Rumble.
At the Rumble, the WWE Champion will have had a hard fought battle and can barely stand afterwards. Shawn will walk on out to congratulate him, help him to his feet, and walk him to the ropes so he can get out of the ring. HBK applauds the champion as he lumbers up the ramp, before the noise of static cracks into the arena. "Cult of Personality" blares as Punk runs out and beats down on the champ. He grabs the champ and throws him shoulder first into the steel steps. Shawn slides out of the ring and attempts to stop Punk, but gets a punch for his troubles and is rolled into the ring. Punk gets into the ring and stands tall over Shawn, who is doing that horror movie backwards crawl and holding his hand up in an attempt to calm Punk. Punk begins yelling at Shawn, saying that he's "sick of the lies and the religion and the facade that Shawn fooled everyone into believing." Punk says that if he had gotten that final title shot at Survivor Series, he would have become the WWE Champion again and none of this would have happened. Punk begins to stomp on HBK and throw him around the ring. He hits the G.T.S. on Shawn, sits him up, and begins to punch his head in until it's a crimson mask, ala HHH/Regal. Shawn almost collapses, but Punk holds him up by the hair and yells into his face, "Where's your god now?!" Glass Shatters.
The crowd goes wild as Stone Cold Steve Austin charges down the ramp and into the ring, ready to fight a now-standing CM Punk. Both men duke it out until SCSA gets the upper-hand and clotheslines Punk out of the ring. Punk quickly gets to his feet and slides back into the ring, before tackling Austin to the mat. Referees scurry to the ring and attempt to pull these two men apart. Close-ups of both men are shown as they are being restrained, spit flying as they curse each other out. CM Punk and Steve Austin simultaneously break free and get back into it again, only stopping when wrestlers from the back help the referees in restraining these two blood-thirsty animals.
The following night on RAW, Austin explains that he was backstage to see the Rumble and knew that once Shawn was being attacked that he had to get out there to help. He considered it a "favor" returned to HBK who risked his life and spilled blood trying to save the career of Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin said that he's ready to spill blood if Punk even thinks of confronting Michaels again. This feud transitions into Punk vs. Austin at Wrestlemania, where Punk always wins.
TL;DR: Punk gets in HBK's face, HBK refuses to wrestle Punk, another wrestler fights Punk and loses, Punk calls out HBK on his shit at the Rumble, Punk beats Shawn to a bloody pulp, Steve Austin runs in and saves the day, Punk and Austin face off at Wrestlemania, Punk wins. Internet ejaculates simultaneously. Wredditors argue that Punk/Austin was subpar.

Corran54 | I mean, 1. ghost and heal are very good summoner spells in dominion as is upgrading boots considering that as a general rule, movement speed dominates dominion.
2. moving as a group is not as uncommon as normal's or ranked since there are no real "lanes" you win by taking and holding towers, so do whatever is working to win.
Can't explain them having the bear claw icon, except that on occasion I will see everyone (myself included) with that icon while loading for a game. Idk if It's a bug or what, but it happens.

More of what I've seen from bots are a ton of losses, the same build every time, and most will follow a player. I don't see that from the lolking that you posted.
TLDR; Could be Bots, could not be Bots. Evidence is not withstanding. | I mean, 1. ghost and heal are very good summoner spells in dominion as is upgrading boots considering that as a general rule, movement speed dominates dominion.
moving as a group is not as uncommon as normal's or ranked since there are no real "lanes" you win by taking and holding towers, so do whatever is working to win.
Can't explain them having the bear claw icon, except that on occasion I will see everyone (myself included) with that icon while loading for a game. Idk if It's a bug or what, but it happens.

TheChosenOne570 | Several years ago, I thought I was dating this girl. One night we are hanging out and she's like "you remind me of my friend Josh, we should all get together." A few weeks later, why not?? Ten or twelve of us get decide to go out to eat. Little did I know that he also thought he was dating her. At first, it was kind of awkward. He starts with his "I'm from New Y*aw*rk" attitude and I kindly point out that I'm bigger than him and I work security at a local establishment where I toss douchebags like him out all the time. Next thing you know we are talking about Mario Kart and South Park and how fucked up it is for a girl to put guys in that kind of situation. She ended up getting married like a month later to some dude fighting overseas... and we made a great duo when it came to prowling for ladies.

KillerTampon | Anytime I have to be in and out somewhere like a grocery store or if I have to pee really bad (pregnant), I'll park allllllllllll the way in the back and fuck parking correctly because even if I'm in there for an hour, the spaces around me are still empty. Most people are too damn lazy to walk the distance. Sometimes I'll park on the side of the building where no one thinks to park. I ALWAYS find fast and conveniently close parking on the side.

acog | That Camaro Z/28 is a pretty astonishing car. It's big and heavy but the project was essentially designed entirely around its tires. It has the largest front tires ever mounted to a production car.
It also uses race-proven carbon ceramic brakes, which are typically a $15K option on sports cars if they're offered at all.
And it comes equipped with some pretty exotic race tech: spool valve shocks. They were used on only one other street car, the $1.4M Astin Martin One 77.

HiimCaysE | Full disclosure... I used to be one of these special kinds of people, and it wasn't even a sports car. It was 2003 Focus. It was the first time I had a newish car, and it was an SVT! Man was I paranoid about door dings. Who knew that a newish car could be so stressful! You own a car without scratches and dents! How could this be?? So I visited my girlfriend at the time who lives in a condo complex, and I did it... I took two spots. I was a badass... that car was RED! I'm allowed two spots just for that, right? And there weren't many cars in the lot. I go inside, spend a few hours doing relationshippy things, and then it's time to go. It's dark, but I know where I'm going... straight to my bright red badass machine! I do the haters gonna hate walk... until I see the two cars parked an inch from both sides of my car. My arms dropped. My ego face vanished. Fuck. WHAT the fuck. What kind of monster would do such a thing? How the hell do I even get in?? Actually, it's a hatchback, so it's pretty simple to get in, so I pop the hatch and fold down the rear seats. But I'm no idiot... somebody's gotta be trying to Youtube this, right? I look out at the condo windows all around me. I spent 10 minutes looking at every single one. Whose shades are slightly open? Did that curtain move? Where's the lens, you bastards!! After my paranoia subsided, I climbed in the back, shut the hatch behind me, and scrambled over the seats as quickly as possible. Surely nobody could have seen me in there crawling all over my newish gem of a vehicle. I fold in the side mirrors, back out and leave. I never did that shit again. Not once. My girlfriend also left me.
TL;DR: Keep up the good fight, people. I encourage door blocking for these kinds of shenanigans. They'll learn. I did.

buschdogg | How are they gonna prove they weren't there when they were and they are actually guilty? If I leave my car parked like that, I'm only going somewhere for a short period (under 30 minutes) so your argument is incorrect.
I said "From a distance" because I would say I was walking back from a distance and didn't realize what they were doing was keying my car until I got close enough.
Also, they will most likely be flustered trying to lie about something they actually did that I am rightfully accusing them of doing. As far as they know, I actually did see them do it.

HeroOfTime31 | Hmm... Well a lot of people advise to climb high and get the stragglers down below. And avoid turn-fighting and such until you have planes and mod's to do so.
But keep in mind that we've all had to go through the upgrading phase to get to a spaded plane. and it generally sucks and only gets worse as you move up the tiers.

FJ62 | Univision over-the-air (not cable or streaming; rabbit ears!) WC broadcast shows up on 31-2 and 36-2 live. 31-1 same day replay at night. I've found that 36-2 has a stronger signal for my location. No clue why Univision comes on 36-2 (NBC's tower), but if you don't have it, might want to update (rescan) your channels.

Also, if you've never done, goto: and type in your location. Then you'll have a better idea on distance and direction. Keep in mind any walls or structures that block your line of sight. Over time you get to know the slight tweaks for best orientation. Does your box have a strength indicator that you can display, while watching? That really helps guide where you need to point your antenna. Or just might be the wrong antenna. Even a shitty cheap one thats designed differently could do the trick. I went through several types before I settled.
The streaming casts for Univision and ESPN lag a minute or two behind the live broadcast.

ElrondofVvardenfell | Sorry for the wall of leters.
This happened a few years back.
I was doing a tour in a "favela" (slum) here in Rio de Janeiro. Me and 2 couples from the US (don't remember from where).
Some info first, these places are , usually, run by drug dealers but some have great views, hence the tourist flow to those ones. We go uphill into the place and I notice lots of black rags and pieces of cloth everywhere hanging from the windows and NOBODY at a time that should be tons of people around.
I think " weird but no biggie".... we park the car and walk around some 300 feet down the main road.
Them, from one of the alleys comes a group of heavilly armed men (dealers) who looked like been up all night doing drugs.
One of them run to me and starts yealling to my face that I was beeing a disrespectable jerk, s.o.b, douche, you name it....(he sure did).
Turns out the place was "closed" (every tour agency knew that and no one told me those jerks) 'cause the "BOSS" just been shot by a police sniper the night before, and they where really pissed.
Now, picture this. There I was doing my job, with 4 tourists who are my responsibility hugging and scarred behind me, and now I have a COMPLETELLY stoned coke head screaming at me that he's gonna KILL me for the disrespect.
I try to say I didn't know but he won't listen. I think to myself...ok that's it this is how I die.
Them, this good guy coke head that I knew from other tour days shows up ( he used to be in there all the time using, so he knew me already) he is OBVIOUSLY a good custumer and stars to talk to the group saying that I'm a good guy, that if I was there that day is because I did not know what happened....etc.
The head of the group (screaming guy) shuts up and starts to walk around thinking for a while ( probably less than a minute but seems a looot longer) he them comes right to my face again and screams top of his lungs "GTFO OF MY FACE".
All I could do was nod and call my clients to get back to the car, still thinking I not gonna make it / get shot in the back, but we got to the car, I do the u turn and GOT THE FUCK OUT OF THERE AS FAST AS I COULD.
That was the last time I ever did a slum tour.
tl;dr: went to slum for a tour the day after the local "boss" had been killed by the police. almost got killed myself and my clients. saved by known coke head. | Sorry for the wall of leters.
This happened a few years back.
I was doing a tour in a "favela" (slum) here in Rio de Janeiro. Me and 2 couples from the US (don't remember from where).
Some info first, these places are , usually, run by drug dealers but some have great views, hence the tourist flow to those ones. We go uphill into the place and I notice lots of black rags and pieces of cloth everywhere hanging from the windows and NOBODY at a time that should be tons of people around.
I think " weird but no biggie".... we park the car and walk around some 300 feet down the main road.
Them, from one of the alleys comes a group of heavilly armed men (dealers) who looked like been up all night doing drugs.
One of them run to me and starts yealling to my face that I was beeing a disrespectable jerk, s.o.b, douche, you name it....(he sure did).
Turns out the place was "closed" (every tour agency knew that and no one told me those jerks) 'cause the "BOSS" just been shot by a police sniper the night before, and they where really pissed.
Now, picture this. There I was doing my job, with 4 tourists who are my responsibility hugging and scarred behind me, and now I have a COMPLETELLY stoned coke head screaming at me that he's gonna KILL me for the disrespect.

jimmysilverrims | **NOTE**: I'm only looking at what I know of the TV Show. As I understand, non-television sources like *Lungbarrow* and the Big Finish audio works explore Gallifrey quite thoroughly and might give a more definitive answer.
___
To set basic boundaries, the **Time Lords** definitely **don't predate the universe**, as the Doctor scoffs at the notion of things existing before the universe *(The Satan Pit).* Additionally, we know that the Time Lords **emerged sometime** ***after*** the Weeping Angels and Carrionites, as they consider the Weeping Angels as "of old" and the Carrionites as uncertain "legend" *(The End of Time Part Two, The Shakespeare Code)*. For reference, Weeping Angels are "very nearly" as old as the universe and the Carrionites were from "**the dawn of the universe**" *(Blink, The Shakespeare Code)*.
However, you are right in assuming that Gallifrey is ancient, as Rassilon and Omega and the foundation of the **Time Lords *vastly* predates** the Doctor's time *(The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors*, etc.*)*. For reference, the furthest back he's ever gone is **4.6 Billion BCE** *(The Runaway Bride)*.
Tellingly, a Time Lord agent informed the Doctor that the "**Time Lords transcended** such simple **mechanical devices when the universe was less than half its present size**" *(Genesis of the Daleks)*. Someone could do the math on that one (I couldn't find a specific number), but this is clearly billions of years in the past (and the Time Lords are already extremely advanced by this time).
So I'm not really able to nail down specific dates, but... **the Time Lords are old as balls.**
**TL;DR**: Read the words in bold.

xzenocrimzie | The point for him is he wants to like battlefield. He might be like a lot of us here, who have been playing the games since 1942, BF2, BC2, or even hopped on the bandwagon for BF3. He loves the games and wants to continue playing them because he, like us, loves the games.
His point is that the developer (or the publisher) has ceased delivering. He is making the point that the franchise is going downhill, and this newest release has put the final nail in the coffin for him. He didn't make any final remarks, but I suspect that he is not buying hardline like he bought premium for BF3 and BF3.4
The publisher is abusing the developers to try and squeeze as many money faucets as they possibly can into the game. Look at all the shortcuts that you can buy for almost 20 dollars each. Look at premium. Look at them restricting modding tools and banning people permanently for doing something as miniscule as removing the blue filter in BF3. They have the vice grips set on the testicles of Battlefield and they're slowly tightening it every year. They might get more money every time they tighten it, but the pain that they are forcing the community to endure is becoming louder and louder.
You are right that people can say pass on this game. I hope that a lot of people end up saying pass on this game. Viscreal had a pretty cool concept for a game, but it is not Battlefield. In the end, people who really like the franchise are going to want a battlefield game, from something that has Battlefield on the front cover.
I agree with his statements (although he gets a bit loud and whiny for me). I'm pretty much done with the franchise after playing Hardline. I have played it almost all day for the past 2 days and I think I'm going to declare DOA on hardline, at least for me.
TL;DR Your grammar and lack of capitals makes me cry, the guy you're complaining about isn't as wrong as you're saying he is, maybe you're not as pissed as he is but that doesn't mean he's wrong, as long as you keep spending money they will keep figuring out ways to make you spend more money | The point for him is he wants to like battlefield.

sealifelover5 | A lot of people have mentioned not to stress about friends, but I'm going to add on to that.
I met 2 friends during orientation. I'm still friends with one, but the other stopped seeing both of us by November. I made one friend in February and four in March-May.
One of my friends has a ton of other friends. Another is friends with only me and her roommates-and we didn't become friends till third quarter. Don't stress about it. One close friend is a lot better than 5 friends who don't answer your texts when you need support.
The first year of college can be really, really difficult. ALL of my friends had a hard time, as did I. That's okay. That's normal. Colleges have mental health services. USE THEM. Four of my friends did, and had never received mental health care before, but needed it then.
**Tl,dr:** Don't stress if you don't make friends right away. If you're feeling depressed, anxious, having trouble adjusting, just want someone to talk to, whatever, go see a therapist. It's accessible and affordable when you're in college and that's not always going to be true. | A lot of people have mentioned not to stress about friends, but I'm going to add on to that.

TheYoungSquire | Personally, I just start with a goal in mind. Something dumb. Make a basic bowling game, or something like that. Dork around with the basic stuff, figure out what works, and what doesn't. When I want to do something that I don't know how to do, and it seems currently out of my league, I go straight to Google.

Don't rely on other people's scripts. Never stick a script in full into your project, especially if you don't understand it. I've done this in the past, and it has always ended in pain.

This leads you down one of two paths; either you look back later and understand what you were messing up, or you look back later and still don't get it. If it's the first, problem solved. If it's the second, it's not something you should be doing.
PS: If you really must use someone else's script (and the Unity Asset Store has some really great stuff!) familiarize yourself with the code, how it works, and what you can do with it. I recommend doing this in a separate Unity project from the "main" one you happen to be working on, or at least a different scene.

wutanginthacut | i have my xhair color changer set to execute whenever i press a movement key, switch weapons, and fire or alt-fire my weapons. it cycles from red to green to blue with a good bit of steps between; i use this so i don't "lose" my crosshair. it also helps me monitor my movement - if i'm not moving very erratically it will take forever to fully change colors, while moving erratic (and by extension, less predictably) will lead to the cycle running faster (due to the uptick in pressing a or d, for instance, as opposed to just holding d or a and strafing in a predictable line). to actually answer your first question, my crosshair color is constantly changing.
changing crosshairs in .cfg files is relatively simple, the commands you're looking for are `cl_crosshair_file` (swaps between types) and `cl_crosshair_scale` (changes sizes). for ease of use, i use these aliases taken from /u/broesel [^^click ^^here ^^for ^^his ^^full ^^script](
//[ xhair type
alias cross_with_dot "cl_crosshair_file crosshair1"
alias half_cross_with_dot "cl_crosshair_file crosshair2"
alias ring "cl_crosshair_file crosshair3"
alias ex "cl_crosshair_file crosshair4"
alias dot "cl_crosshair_file crosshair5"
alias open_cross "cl_crosshair_file crosshair6"
alias cross "cl_crosshair_file crosshair7"
alias default "exec defaultxhair"
//]
//[ xhair size
alias tiny "cl_crosshair_scale 18"
alias smallest "cl_crosshair_scale 20"
alias small "cl_crosshair_scale 24"
alias medium "cl_crosshair_scale 28"
alias big "cl_crosshair_scale 32"
alias biggest "cl_crosshair_scale 36"
alias huge "cl_crosshair_scale 40"
alias invisible "cl_crosshair_scale 00"
//]
note that in order to use the default crosshair for a given slot, you'll need a .cfg file named "defaultxhair" with the line
cl_crosshair_file ""
due to that command not playing nice with aliases. if you're interested in switching colors statically instead of ever-changing like my xhair switcher script, you may find these aliases also from broesel's xhair switcher script:
//[ xhair color
alias red "cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0"
alias green "cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 0"
alias blue "cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 255"
alias yellow "cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 0"
alias cyan "cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 255"
alias pink "cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 255"
alias orange "cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 128; cl_crosshair_blue 0"
alias purple "cl_crosshair_red 128; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 255"
alias mint "cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 128"
alias lime "cl_crosshair_red 178; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 0"
alias skyblue "cl_crosshair_red 60; cl_crosshair_green 158; cl_crosshair_blue 255"
alias black "cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0"
alias grey "cl_crosshair_red 128; cl_crosshair_green 128; cl_crosshair_blue 128"
alias white "cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 255"
//]
as for how to apply these, it depends on what you want to do - if you just want different crosshairs for different classes, then placing the commands in the desired `class.cfg` will do fine. if you want weapon-specific crosshairs, you'll need to integrate them into a weapon switching script, which is easy enough to do (or you may have one already). this may be superflous, but i figured i might as well tack my basic weapon switcher on here as well.

^^^^#tl;dr ^^^^life | i have my xhair color changer set to execute whenever i press a movement key, switch weapons, and fire or alt-fire my weapons. it cycles from red to green to blue with a good bit of steps between; i use this so i don't "lose" my crosshair. it also helps me monitor my movement - if i'm not moving very erratically it will take forever to fully change colors, while moving erratic (and by extension, less predictably) will lead to the cycle running faster (due to the uptick in pressing a or d, for instance, as opposed to just holding d or a and strafing in a predictable line). to actually answer your first question, my crosshair color is constantly changing.
changing crosshairs in .cfg files is relatively simple, the commands you're looking for are cl_crosshair_file (swaps between types) and cl_crosshair_scale (changes sizes). for ease of use, i use these aliases taken from /u/broesel [^^click ^^here ^^for ^^his ^^full ^^script](

alias biggest "cl_crosshair_scale 36"
alias huge "cl_crosshair_scale 40"
alias invisible "cl_crosshair_scale 00"
//]
note that in order to use the default crosshair for a given slot, you'll need a .cfg file named "defaultxhair" with the line
cl_crosshair_file ""
due to that command not playing nice with aliases. if you're interested in switching colors statically instead of ever-changing like my xhair switcher script, you may find these aliases also from broesel's xhair switcher script:
//[ xhair color
alias red "cl_crosshair_red 255; cl_crosshair_green 0; cl_crosshair_blue 0"
alias green "cl_crosshair_red 0; cl_crosshair_green 255; cl_crosshair_blue 0"

as for how to apply these, it depends on what you want to do - if you just want different crosshairs for different classes, then placing the commands in the desired class.cfg will do fine. if you want weapon-specific crosshairs, you'll need to integrate them into a weapon switching script, which is easy enough to do (or you may have one already). this may be superflous, but i figured i might as well tack my basic weapon switcher on here as well.

formats | Granted he does interupt alot, but most of the time it's because he's got some decent input on what's happening. Not neccesarily play by play but more analysing the way the teams are setting up and the way he sees the round taking shape. He's incredibly passionate and also has exceptional knowledge of the game and the history of teams/past results. You can hate him all you like, but imo he offers an insight to the game that you don't get from other casters/analysts. If you can't see past his banter and harsh criticisms and accept he has decent input to the game, you're just holding a grudge against him as a person.

rootyb | If you want to replace fat with muscle, jogging ain't gonna do it. Endurance it'll help with, though (and, really, some impact in your exercise is good for bone strength).
Now, it may be heteronormative, but I'm going to assume you're female, given your boyfriend comment.
Going with that assumption, I'm also going to assume that you're worried about "getting too bulky", since that's a fairly common concern that women have.
If that *is* a concern of yours, it's completely baseless. [You can *not* get bulky by accident]( If you want to build muscle, you need to exert your muscles.
Nerdfitness.com has some solid strength-training info. As does /r/bodyweightfitness (their beginner program is over at Great community (as long as you're willing to do a bit of research on your own and/or read the FAQ before asking questions) over there.
note: I am *not* an expert. I've only been doing their beginner routine for a few weeks, now. It complete kicks my ass three days a week, but I'm really enjoying it nonetheless.
I am, however, the kind of person that uses preparation as an excuse to procrastinate "doing", so I do know some stuff. :)

tek0011 | I am software and hardware developer, so yes, I know what beta is.
I also know Beta to EA doesnt mean beta to the rest of the world. Look at all past betas. Did any of the games differ from their beta by a full 95%? No. Never. Nor will they ever. Beta to EA means, play this cause its basically what the final game will feel like, act like and look like. You are missing my point. I am not calling the game bad. I calling out the fact that EA wont allow modding to their customers, stricty because it hurts their profit margins.
We are looking at 95% of the product. The other 5% consists of adding game modes, changing some textures and adding some scripts.
Do you really think that the game will change 95% by the time it comes out? 95% of 360 degrees is 342 degrees. You really, honestly, without a doubt, think the game is going to almost make an entire 360 degree change when it comes out of what they call "beta"?
No. It will not. What you are seeing is 95% of the game. Just like BF4 beta showed is 95% of BF4, same with BF3. The only changes are bug fixes and some very very general code performance tweaks. So I hate to break it to you, but you are seeing the game as it is designed.
I am being realistic, as is the rest of the community. The fact of the matter is we have begged for mods. They gave us excuses "we want to do it right" "we cant build the correct security" "we want to make the tools user friendly" Excuse after excuse after excuse. When it's blatantly obvious to see, the true reason is $$. Modding kills their revenue.
I am glad you enjoy the game. I am not ripping on you at all. To each their own. I hope it brings you hundreds of hours of fun. But when you do purchase it, for the absurd stand alone price of $69.99 + tax, remind yourself; all they did is take a game, and modify it. Remind yourself what they actually created. Is the game new? No. Is the engine new? No. What is new? The graphics and slight variation of game play.
This isnt

This is how good software developers have always done things. EA is just a few decades behind.

mda_jailbird | Thanks for the replies.
What if I saw the trails and said they're beautiful like a piece of art. Do the trails then go from nothing to art, or does there have to be something tangible that I can show or perform for others?
I always thought art was something that inspired emotion. So by my definition, anything can be art. I may see a freshly mowed lawn, and say that's beautiful. However, I also believe art to be subjective, so what pulls emotion out of me might not do the same for you. Hence what's his name thinking B L A K I E isn't art, but you and whoever else does. You might see the same lawn mentioned earlier and say that it's just a lawn, what's so beautiful about it?
Of course, by my definition, even a negative emotion would validate it as art and make what's his name incorrect, since he's obviously having a negative emotional response to the performer.
TL;DR: Art is strange. I could shit in a bowl and we might have the same discussion. I (try to) believe everyone's opinion should be equally valid. Does that mean that at no point can anyone say that one piece of art is more artistic than another, or does it mean that someone could always make that claim? Probably both. In my opinion.
Edit: I just now realized that for my definition to work, intent would still need to be implied. An argument would never be art, but still inspire emotion. I'm not the smartest.

Edit: I just now realized that for my definition to work, intent would still need to be implied. An argument would never be art, but still inspire emotion. I'm not the smartest.
| cringe | t5_2r6rj | cia3e7f | Thanks for the replies.
What if I saw the trails and said they're beautiful like a piece of art. Do the trails then go from nothing to art, or does there have to be something tangible that I can show or perform for others?
I always thought art was something that inspired emotion. So by my definition, anything can be art. I may see a freshly mowed lawn, and say that's beautiful. However, I also believe art to be subjective, so what pulls emotion out of me might not do the same for you. Hence what's his name thinking B L A K I E isn't art, but you and whoever else does. You might see the same lawn mentioned earlier and say that it's just a lawn, what's so beautiful about it?
Of course, by my definition, even a negative emotion would validate it as art and make what's his name incorrect, since he's obviously having a negative emotional response to the performer. | Art is strange.

From Republic.org.uk, which I linked to above:
"The Queen certainly does have power, including the power to sign international treaties and deploy British troops abroad. [See below.] It's true that most of these "royal prerogative powers" are today exercised by government, but that in itself is a serious problem. These powers have been transferred directly from the monarch to the prime minister and don't need the approval of parliament, effectively shutting out the British people from important decisions. That is fundamentally anti-democratic – and it can only happen because we have a monarchy."
From Wikipedia, if you prefer that source (
"The office [of Prime Minister] is not established by any constitution or law [see Parliament's own website, below] but exists only by long-established convention, which stipulates that **the monarch must appoint as prime minister the person most likely to command the confidence of the House of Commons**; this individual is typically the leader of the political party or coalition of parties that holds the largest number of seats in that chamber."
From Republic.org.uk:
"The Queen and Prince Charles also have the power to veto bills that affect their private interests. Official legal advice makes clear that Queen's and Prince's Consent (as the "royal veto" is officially known) is not a mere formality. The process by which consent is obtained provides a clear opportunity for the Queen and the Prince of Wales to influence the shape and content of a bill before it reaches Parliament."
From multiple sources, and even if you missed the many examples in the news over recent years over Prince Charles' abuse of the power his role as monarch-in-waiting gives him, a basic Google search will furnish you with many more:
"MPs and peers called for the immediate publication of details about the application of the prince's powers which have fuelled concern over his alleged meddling in British politics. "...anyone who enjoys exceptional influence or veto should exercise it with complete transparency," said Andrew George, Liberal Democrat MP for St Ives in Cornwall. "**The duchy asserts that it is merely a private estate. Most people will be astonished to learn that it appears to have effective powers of veto over the government**."
"Attorney General Dominic Grieve has blocked the release of private letters the Prince of Wales sent to seven government departments.
A court ruled last month that the correspondence should be published.
But Mr Grieve said it was an exceptional case where the letters formed part of the prince's "preparations for kingship"."
"**Prince Charles has secretly placed aides in key roles in Whitehall departments linked to his principal interests, without the knowledge of government ministers, it has emerged**.
The Prince has **been able to install at least three employees in government departments responsible for drawing up policies that could impinge on his business and political interests**.
Ministers spoke of their shock and anger at not having been informed."
"Internal Whitehall papers prepared by Cabinet Office lawyers show that on one occasion **the Queen vetoed the Military Actions Against Iraq Bill in 1999, which aimed to transfer the power to authorise military strikes against Iraq from the monarch to parliament**. ... Legal scholar John Kirkhope, who fought to access the [internal Whitehall] papers following a freedom of information case, said **the document revealed senior royals have "real influence and real power**".
"**There has been an implication that these prerogative powers are quaint and sweet but actually there is real influence and real power, albeit unaccountable**," he said."
From Republic.org.uk:
"Then there's the problem of parliamentary sovereignty. At one point all the power in the land was held by the king or queen. Over time that power moved to parliament and is now held collectively by 650 MPs. However, the fundamental nature of that power hasn't changed – parliament can make or scrap any law it likes, just as the monarch could in the past. This means our freedoms are never really guaranteed because parliament can always decide to remove them. Again, this a direct result of having a monarchy."
From the UK parliament's
"**Parliamentary sovereignty is a principle of the UK constitution. It makes Parliament the supreme legal authority in the UK, which can create or end any law**. Generally, the courts cannot overrule its legislation and no Parliament can pass laws that future Parliaments cannot change. Parliamentary sovereignty is the most important part of the UK constitution."
And finally, a modern example of human rights abuses by UK government made possible by the law allowing the UK monarchy to override parliament:
"Communities such as the Chagos Islanders were displaced from their homeland of Diego Garcia by the British to facilitate the development of the US’s largest military base, the base from which the US would launch almost every military attack in the Iraq / Afghanistan conflict some 30 – 40 years later. ... The British government bargained for the islands during Independence talks with Mauritius and annexed them as a new British colony (BIOT) in 1965, a measure in direct contravention of UNGA Declaration 1514 (XV) which emphasized that preservation of the territorial integrity of dependent states was to be ensured during de-colonization. **The plan to create this new British colony and then lease it to the US as a military base was done without the consent or knowledge of either the British Parliament or the US Congress. It was achieved by invoking the Order in Council, an archaic law allowing the British Monarch to override Parliament**. ... the case of Chagos Islands has been described as one of Britain’s “most shameful episodes”. Arguably, the real shame is with the UK / US government’s continuing deception and refusal to grant an effective remedy. Details of the Chagossian’s treatment gained credence after the UK foreign office was legally ordered to release files from the period in 2012. Previously, the government had continued the charade of arguing that the Islanders were not indigenous but rather ‘contract labourers’. ...**In 2000, the Chagossians had their claims of right to return upheld in the UK courts but this was overturned when the government again invoked the Order in Council in 2004** – on general election day so that no-one knew it had even happened! The Orders were successfully challenged in 2006/7 with the Court of Appeal stating it was an abuse of power, but when the claims were finally rejected in the House of Lords in 2008, the House of Lords decided it was a political, rather than a legal matter."

They are supporting one of the biggest dota style games out there (Dota2). The biggest (at least i think) fps competitive game Cs Go. Tf2 is still supported as well many years after its release and they add content on a regular basis.
Not releasing a AAA for two years is nothing exceptional, maybe its because you are used to a studio releasing a "new" game every year.
EA and Ubisoft are not the same type of company as Valve. They dont develop their own games they own a ton of studios that develop games for them. Compare them to blizzard if anything. Blizzard hasnt done a whole lot either if you look at their track record. Its the "sameish" type of game over and over.

cir-ick | So a breakdown of some of the key sections of the patent application...
> Claim 20. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for transforming a virtual entity from a first game to be usable in a second game comprising: a. a code segment to receive in a non-transitory read-writable storage a set of characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game. b. a code segment to create set of correlated characteristics by applying to the characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game a set of correlations between characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game with characteristics available in the second game to define a virtual entity; c. a code segment to create in a read-writable storage a new virtual entity with the correlated characteristics for use in the second game, and d. the created virtual entity being independent of a player selection or input.
* As I read this, the patent applies to a computer program that will take input of a character from a First Game, say *Dungeons & Dragons*. The computer analyzes all of that character's stats and details, such as attributes, skills, feats, etc. The user tells this program to convert this character to a Second Game, say *World of Darkness*. The program converts all of those relative stats and assigns appropriate values to the WoD character attributes. This process is automatic, requiring little-to-no input from the program's user.
**From the Brief Summary Section**
> [0011] Utilizing a set of correlation between characteristics defining a virtual entity in a first game and the characteristics available for defining a virtual entity in the second game, embodiments of the present invention transform a virtual entity from a first game to be useable in a second game. Preferably the correlations between characteristics are based shared benefits. Thus characteristics defining the character in the first game are correlated to characteristics available in the second game by directly or indirectly providing the same or similar benefit to virtual entities in both games. Applying the correlations between characteristics to the characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game determines characteristics the new transformed virtual entity may have in the second game. Accordingly, a characteristic available in the second game providing the same or similar benefit as a characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game may be related by a correlation of one. The characteristic providing the shared benefit would, therefore, be available to the new transformed virtual entity in the second game. In some instances a characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game may provide multiple benefits which are provided by a set of multiple characteristics of the second game. In such case the correlation between characteristics would be one-to-many. Accordingly, there may be multiple characteristics available for the new transformed virtual entity in the second game derived from a single characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game. In combination or the alternative, a set of multiple characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game may provide benefits which are provided by a single characteristic of the second game, thereby creating a many-to-one correlation. Thus there may be a single characteristic available to the new transformed virtual entity in the second game derived from multiple characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game. Embodiments may also include instances in which a characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game provides a benefit which is not provided by any characteristic of the second game resulting in a correlation of 0. A characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game, consequently, may not be available to the new transformed virtual entity in the second game. From the resulting set of correlated characteristics a new transformed virtual entity is created in the second game.
* A detailed rehash of Claim 20. They also go on to explain that some *correlations* may be many-to-one or one-to-many. Think of converting Pathfinder's Perception skill to D&D's Spot and Listen skills, or vice versa. Finally, they point out that some *correlations* won't have direct conversions. D&D's Innuendo skill does not have a direct conversion to Pathfinder.
> [0012] In some embodiments, before correlations between characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game and the characteristics available for defining a virtual entity in the second game are applied it may be necessary to first quantify at least one characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game. For example, the first game may qualify all or at least one characteristic defining the virtual entity while the second game quantifies the respective correlated characteristics. In such a situation it may prove desirable to quantify the characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game before generating correlated characteristics.
* “Read all directions before starting.”
> [0014] Either before and/or after creation of the new transformed virtual entity, the player may be permitted to increase at least one characteristic.

> [0016] In addition to making a personal investment in the virtual entity, players may also make a considerable personal investment in the equipment the virtual entity possesses in the first game. In some cases it may be that a player has spent more time, points and/or money providing his virtual entity with desirable equipment than developing the virtual entity's characteristics. Preserving the personal investment made by the player into the character may thus entail transforming items possessed by the virtual entity in the first game to new items usable in the second game. Utilizing a set of correlation between characteristics defining an item possessed by a virtual entity in a first game and the characteristics defining items available in the second game embodiments of the present invention may transform an item of a first game to a new item useable in a second game. Preferably the correlations between characteristics are based upon shared benefits such that characteristics defining the item in the first game are related to characteristics defining available items in the second game by directly or indirectly providing the same or similar benefit to items and/or a virtual entity wielding the item in both games. Applying the correlations between characteristics to the characteristics defining the item in the first game determines the characteristics available to define the new transformed item in the second game. Accordingly, a characteristic available in the second game providing the same or similar benefit as a characteristic defining the item in the first game may be related by a correlation of one. The new item in the second game may, therefore, possess at least one identical characteristic with the item in the first game. In some instances a characteristic defining the item in the first game may provide multiple benefits which are provided by a set of multiple characteristics of the second game. In such case the correlation between characteristics would be one-to-many. Accordingly, there may be multiple characteristics available for the defining the new item in the second game derived from a single characteristic defining the item in the first game. In combination or the alternative, a set of multiple characteristics defining the item in the first game may provide benefits which are provided by a single characteristic of the second game, thereby creating a many-to-one correlation. Thus there may be a single characteristic possessed by the new transformed item in the second game derived from multiple characteristics defining the item in the first game. Embodiments may also include instances in which a characteristic defining the item in the first game provides a benefit which is not provided by any characteristic of the second game resulting in a correlation of 0. A characteristic defining the item in the first game, consequently, may not be available to the new transformed item in the second game. From the resulting set of correlated characteristics a new transformed item is created in the second game.

> Claim 20. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for transforming a virtual entity from a first game to be usable in a second game comprising: a. a code segment to receive in a non-transitory read-writable storage a set of characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game. b. a code segment to create set of correlated characteristics by applying to the characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game a set of correlations between characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game with characteristics available in the second game to define a virtual entity; c. a code segment to create in a read-writable storage a new virtual entity with the correlated characteristics for use in the second game, and d. the created virtual entity being independent of a player selection or input.
As I read this, the patent applies to a computer program that will take input of a character from a First Game, say Dungeons & Dragons . The computer analyzes all of that character's stats and details, such as attributes, skills, feats, etc. The user tells this program to convert this character to a Second Game, say World of Darkness . The program converts all of those relative stats and assigns appropriate values to the WoD character attributes. This process is automatic, requiring little-to-no input from the program's user.
From the Brief Summary Section
> [0011] Utilizing a set of correlation between characteristics defining a virtual entity in a first game and the characteristics available for defining a virtual entity in the second game, embodiments of the present invention transform a virtual entity from a first game to be useable in a second game. Preferably the correlations between characteristics are based shared benefits. Thus characteristics defining the character in the first game are correlated to characteristics available in the second game by directly or indirectly providing the same or similar benefit to virtual entities in both games. Applying the correlations between characteristics to the characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game determines characteristics the new transformed virtual entity may have in the second game. Accordingly, a characteristic available in the second game providing the same or similar benefit as a characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game may be related by a correlation of one. The characteristic providing the shared benefit would, therefore, be available to the new transformed virtual entity in the second game. In some instances a characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game may provide multiple benefits which are provided by a set of multiple characteristics of the second game. In such case the correlation between characteristics would be one-to-many. Accordingly, there may be multiple characteristics available for the new transformed virtual entity in the second game derived from a single characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game. In combination or the alternative, a set of multiple characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game may provide benefits which are provided by a single characteristic of the second game, thereby creating a many-to-one correlation. Thus there may be a single characteristic available to the new transformed virtual entity in the second game derived from multiple characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game.

From the resulting set of correlated characteristics a new transformed virtual entity is created in the second game.
A detailed rehash of Claim 20. They also go on to explain that some correlations may be many-to-one or one-to-many. Think of converting Pathfinder's Perception skill to D&D's Spot and Listen skills, or vice versa. Finally, they point out that some correlations won't have direct conversions. D&D's Innuendo skill does not have a direct conversion to Pathfinder.
> [0012] In some embodiments, before correlations between characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game and the characteristics available for defining a virtual entity in the second game are applied it may be necessary to first quantify at least one characteristic defining the virtual entity in the first game. For example, the first game may qualify all or at least one characteristic defining the virtual entity while the second game quantifies the respective correlated characteristics. In such a situation it may prove desirable to quantify the characteristics defining the virtual entity in the first game before generating correlated characteristics.

Fools1 | I think the biggest problem is that it is very difficult to prove non-physical abuse, regardless of the victim(or offender)'s sex. Unless the incident is recorded, it is just one person's word against another. So people in abusive relationships don't have a clear "out".
Also, abuse in general doesn't usually start at such an extreme level, or the victim wouldn't have stayed long enough for it to become such an issue. It is like a bad habit. Nobody is nice to everyone all the time, and the occasional heated disagreement is hardly a bad thing. It shows that the people involved actually care about the issue at hand and what the other person thinks about it. The problem is when things become more and more one-sided, or either party attempts to control the other.
Keep in mind that you can't force an ideology into someone's head, no matter how morally sound it is. If you want more guys to understand and empathize, you have to be able to connect with them. Communicate in a way they'll better understand, as they have no sense of obligation to listen to your stance. People tend to be somewhat attached to the way they think, and people who think differently are simply wrong. That isn't to say you can't change someone's attitude, it is just difficult.
Entertaining the idea that abuse doesn't require physical damage opens up another can of worms; "battered husbands". Being the victim of abuse -- hell, being a victim in general -- is pretty much the antithesis of modern concepts of masculinity. So there will be some resistance to the idea from a good chunk of men, along with the SJW "men can't be abused" crowd.
TL;DR: it is a complex problem and it will take a lot of time and effort to solve. | I think the biggest problem is that it is very difficult to prove non-physical abuse, regardless of the victim(or offender)'s sex.

ggow | What you're describing is a written constitution. Briging what you're describing about requires a fundamental reorganisation of our current constitution and some document to be prime to any other piece of legislation. That's a written constitution, in a nut shell.
In the United Kingdom, the Parliament is sovereign and it cannot bind its successors. At the moment, a majority vote in the Parliament can amend any existing legislation and pass any legislation it wants. On the current operating principles of our parliament, if a bill were put in place that said 'This document can only be amended by a popular referendum or by 65% of the parliament voting in favour', it would have no effect. Any successor parliament could, with merely a majority vote, repeal that act. After repealing that act, or even just striking 65% from the text and inserting 50%, they can then do what they want. The parliament's powers have to be restricted and it does not, in this sense, have the ability to restrict itself.

Reddit has a history of being fairly anti-japan unless they are talking about Japanese girls or anime (in specific subs only), but they also have a much more prevalent anti-China jerk.
I think what we are seeing here is a mixture of two jerks, "Japan is respectful and neat" jerk, which honestly isn't as common as the "Japan is backwards, racist, and fucked up" jerk, and the "China is horrible and so are the people" jerks.

cosmeticsnerd | I rarely got up early enough to do makeup that took a lot of time... if you feel awkward about leaving the house without a full face you might want to perfect a minimalist version of it for days when you're running late to class, and maybe stock a makeup bag with your essentials to keep in your backpack so you can run out the door and put your makeup on in the bathroom before class if you have to.
I wouldn't worry too much about taking makeup cues from the people around you in college. There will be people that show up to class looking gorgeous and stylish every day and there will be people that wear pajamas to their morning classes. I got into a really unhealthy habit in college (especially after gaining my freshman 15) of comparing myself to the girls around me and always deciding that I fell short somehow. I had to teach myself myself to think "she looks great today, and so do I" instead of "wow I look so much worse than her" in order to pull out of that funk.... **tl;dr** it will help you build confidence to wear the makeup you want to wear and to think of the makeup other girls wear as a source of inspiration instead of something you need to fit in with! | I rarely got up early enough to do makeup that took a lot of time... if you feel awkward about leaving the house without a full face you might want to perfect a minimalist version of it for days when you're running late to class, and maybe stock a makeup bag with your essentials to keep in your backpack so you can run out the door and put your makeup on in the bathroom before class if you have to.

SilverStarv5 | One thing I heard recently is that in the configs for Forestery there is a "bee difficultly" setting that defaults to normal while the machine difficultly setting defaults to easy.
TL;DR Basicly try setting the "bee difficultly" to easy. | One thing I heard recently is that in the configs for Forestery there is a "bee difficultly" setting that defaults to normal while the machine difficultly setting defaults to easy.

kempnelms | as an employee of a major bank, who works with credit cards, I can tell you that we have special departments that handle relationships with customers who've had the other party on their account pass away. so you can of course call them and tell them. HOWEVER the public records that most banks use to determine if someone is deceased don't get updated as quickly as you may think, and a lot of times go unnoticed unless you tell them. for example I've had elderly customers who had their spouse die 5 years ago and we never caught it until they told me they were dead.
TLDR Just keep quiet and pay on time and the bank probably won't even notice. | as an employee of a major bank, who works with credit cards, I can tell you that we have special departments that handle relationships with customers who've had the other party on their account pass away. so you can of course call them and tell them.

l2blackbelt | Call Discover. Their customer service for cardholders is some of the best in the industry. I wouldn't expect their service on student loans to be anything less than stellar.

Your representative will be able to tell you exactly what is important to your case.

sometimesballin | I'm a little late to the party but I really feel the need to share this because I feel like it could truly help somebody in the future to avoid my terrible life decisions.
To start off I'd like to mention I'm pro Mary Jane and think it should be legalized. However I also truly believe that if it is abused and not respected it DOES have the power to be a gateway drug (sorry but it is the case for a lot of people)
When I was 16 my parents had caught me smoking weed for the 3rd time. When I came home from work I knew I'd have to face the consequences from my father as he was the type who you did not want to piss off. He wasn't abusive, he's the best father in the world, which was why it was especially bad to let him down.
I remember being so angry because I got in so much trouble. My parents grew up in Bosnia and were never even exposed to weed, so I felt as if they did not understand. At that point I already knew weed was relatively harmless, at the very least better than alcohol. I just wish they had been more like my friends parents, they didn't condone it either but they didn't treat it so seriously as well.
What my father yelled at me that night replays in my mind nightly now. He said "what are you going to do when the high from weed isn't enough? Once weed isn't enough you'll start doing harder drugs and find yourself snorting heroin eventually!"
I thought he was so stupid for thinking that. I knew weed did not cause addiction in the physical sense and I surely believed that I would never do anything harder. I just liked smoking pot because it was such a fun social drug, I didn't even smoke it for the high, I did it because I bonded so well with people over it.
Lo and behold 8 years later after some terrible life choices I am suffering from terrible heroin addiction among other problems so big I seriously do not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Only a year ago did I get that "moment of clarity" and realize holy shit was that man right. Down to the T. If only I could go back and slap myself and say don't be a dumb ass and think you know everything. He is saying these things, he's mad because he loves you and cares about you more than anyone else on the whole planet, so respect the fuck out of him. If only I could do that. I would be so happy.
Moral of the story is, while marijuana can certainly be fun to do, and while it's probably the safest drug you can do if you're going to do them at all. You must respect it and respect yourself. Because it is far to easy to make your whole life about it instead of the actually important things in life, and before you know it you'll wake up one day years later and think to yourself "how the hell did I let that happen?"

DraydenB | When I was 14, there was a party at my friends house that all of my friends were going to. The problem was that this party was in his newly built treehouse (read: elevated guest house). My mother had a bad feeling and told me I wasn't allowed to go out of fear that I would be injured at the party. After profuse begging and sucking up she finally agreed to let me go. I arrived at the party and everything was going swimmingly until everyone got into the treehouse. The house was only meant to hold 7-8 people and we had about 20 in there, so, the tree it was in started to bend and curve. The inevitable occurred and the limb collapsed and the treehouse fell about 13 feet to the ground. With my luck, however, I was the only one injured with a broken arm. I missed my entire Freshman year of football and half of my 8th Grade baseball season.

zain2028 | Ok the responsibilities are not bad if you are a generally responsible person. I'm 19 and about two years ago I was a irresponsible brat who did not do too great in school. All it takes is exactly what you just said, you know that at this time you are not prepared for the responsibilities. Knowing that is the biggest part about easily becoming ready for the responsibilities ahead of you. I have a moment where I figured if I didn't straighten up I would be nowhere where I am now. That paradigm shift I had in high school made my life what it is today. I graduated high school with a full ride to college and a well paying job with a German robotics company. I am actually in Germany right now training so I can travel around the US and to other places in the world ( China, Brazil, and some countries in Europe) to work as a person who services machines for the companies that have purchased them from us. This would have never been possible if I was never able to realize that one day I need to be ready for the responsibilities that I will have in the future. Sorry for the wall of text but I kinda had a lapse of control.

smashbrawlguy | There's an especially nasty type of sunburn referred to as Hell's Itch. This isn't an "ow, it hurts when I touch it" sunburn, this is "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I WOULD RATHER TEAR MY OWN SKIN OFF WITH A RUSTY RAZOR IT ITCHES SO BAD" sunburn. You cannot know the torture of Hell's Itch unless you've had the misfortune of experiencing it for yourself. Normal treatments like aloe and sunburn cream do nothing, and you can expect to go slightly mad looking for relief. The treatment is a hot shower. And I hope you're taking that shower during the day, because you *will* wake people with your screams (or manly grunts) of pain. It might burn like your flesh is on fire, but the relief is worth it.

sushi064 | You'll find that the Reddit population generally is one-sided on weed; in the camp that "it's just a good time" and what not. It's different than things like alcohol, though, in that it *is* an addictive, hallucinogenic drug. There aren't reliable studies that I know of that document its actual *long-term* effects on physical and mental health, but if you only use 3x/year, it'll be negligible at best. However, you ARE a teen, and your brain is still developing, so I would STRONGLY recommend to *WAIT UNTIL 21.* There IS research out there from well-known institutions e.g. UT Dallas (link later; on mobile) showing that THC DOES cause abnormal brain development, even in areas linked to reasoning.
You start getting into trouble when you accept the 'all day erry day' mentality that too many people have.

Hector_Kur | After a long day of work, you just want to eat and go to bed. Maybe find some time for some video games, or maybe that personal project you're working on if you're an artist or craftsman. Can't eat out every night, so you have to make yourself some food.
That takes time.
Then you have to eat, which also takes time.
You should probably get the mail too.
And clean the catbox.
Oh, and take the dog for a walk.
Don't forget to call your friend about that thing.
And call your ISP because your internet was being wonky (again).
Oh shit, go run to the store for that thing you forgot!
And you better re-check your checklist of things you wanted to do this week, see if you have any time to do a few of them.
Maybe you can sneak in an episode of that one show you watch.
Hey look, it's 11pm already. You gotta be up at 7 tomorrow, you better get to sleep!
Weekends? What weekends? You keep filling them up with hanging out with friends, or going to movies, or doing stuff that isn't work or "responsible" things that adults do. Pretty soon you'll only want weekends free so you can do nothing at all and not feel completely guilty about it.
tl;dr time never ceases to slip away, and when you happen to find some spare time, often you really just want to spend it doing *nothing.* There's *joy* in nothing.
EDIT: I would actually love to ask a teenager where all there time is. I wasn't a kid that stayed up super late, and I never skipped class. I was going to school for 40 hours a week for 12+ years and it still felt like I had all the free time in the world. I guess never doing homework and having a summer break every year made up for it? How do students who actually do their work find any time at all? | After a long day of work, you just want to eat and go to bed.

Tofinochris | No, this is not true. I'm around 40 and have loads of free time. I work an average of 45 hours a week and I'm married, but no kids. Sure, I don't tend to spend literally all weekend playing video games any more, but that's because I have other interests, not because I'm tied down with endless responsibilities. I *choose* to spend time with my wife, my nieces, my family and friends, and that's "free time" spent that way, but even outside of that I still have time to work out 4-5 times a week, maintain my house and yard, game, watch sports/anime/the odd TV show that's not rubbish, etc.
I think a lot of people saying they have "no free time" and feeling beat up is because they consider too many things to be things they *have* to do. If I consider playing with my nieces/kids to be a necessity rather than a good use of my time, when they go to bed I'm going to feel like I barely have any free time! If I consider lifting weights to be a responsibility then I'm going to hate doing it and feel like it's sucking up my free time.
Hell, most of the time I feel like I have more free time now than I did when I was, say, 18. I had 4-6 hours of classes a day, 45 minutes drive to and from campus, and usually 3+ hours of homework a night when I wasn't studying for exams. I lived with my parents so I still had chores to do and I had to abide by their rules (mostly :p). I had bugger all for money whereas now if I want a game or whatever I pick it up.
I will say that every single person I know who complains about having "no time" with *one* exception (my sister-in-law who these days does in fact have a bonkers schedule) watches 2+ hours of TV a day. It's actually pretty amazing, and they seem to have no cognitive dissonance over it. "I have NO FREE TIME to go to the gym. Hey, did you see American Idol last night? I've watched music reality shows every night this week and I'm bingeing on Game of Thrones downloads! What level are you on in Candy Crush -- I'm 202! Oh, you're over 300? Man, I wish I had FREE TIME."

draekia | This never really worked out for my brother and I. About six years apart, into just enough very different things that we don't get along much.
And he's the type that is right, even though he speaks in marketing speech (all fluff, no substance, everything heavily skewed) and doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time (seriously off factual base a lot of the time), and believes "he who shouts the loudest and gets the most emotional is right."
Yeah, I'm not that person, but am just stubborn and anal about educating myself on whatever piques my interest that we can barely talk. We do both enjoy an occasional beer and movie, but now that I live overseas that's even more rare than before.

gradual_weeaboo | Final Fantasy VIII.
So here's the deal. I have two copies of FF8 already - one for PS1 and one for PC, the original release. Problem is, neither one of them works. At least not properly anyway.
I stupidly lent my friend my PS1 copy of FF8 many years ago. When it left my house, it was in mint condition (much as my games always are), and a few weeks later when I went to pick it up, I found discs 1 and 2 (he didn't get to 3 or 4 yet) to be heavily scratched. They still work, but FMVs skip occasionally. Stupid me also let him borrow my copy of Luigi's Mansion a few years later, only for him to sell MY GAME to Gamestop because he didn't like it. We weren't friends anymore after that.
On top of that, my PS1 doesn't work too well in general anymore and my PS2 has problems reading PS1 games.
As for the PC copy, many years ago, when I got my old computer (around 2003 I think?), my friend gave me a stack of PC games. Among them was FF8, but whatever the CD key was written on had been lost, so there was no way for me to activate the game. It's still sitting on a shelf in my closet collecting dust.
**tl;dr: Have 2 basically non-functional copies of FF8. Would like to replace them with the Steam edition.** | Final Fantasy VIII.

Herazim | A game which I've enjoyed since the first day is Magicka. This game is the epitome of brilliance.
You play as a wizard in a norse mythology fantasy world which is packed with humor in every shape and form, from the funny invented language to awesome referencess and just how silly the wizards are.
But what makes this game different is it's combat system. It may be a simple system but my god is it fun and never gets old. You have 8 elements that you can use: fire, water, lightning, frost, earth etc. The really good part is that you can combine these elements and get a whole new arsenal of spells. Fire is to boring ? No worries you can combine it with arcane, lightning and create a electric spectacle that incinerates everything. Now along with these you also have Magicks, which are some really powerful spells like tornado, meteor shower, you can even summon the grim reaper to instantly kill someone.
Now imagine all the mayhem that can be done just by one wizard, now add 3 more ( it has coop ), and to make it even more interesting there is friendly fire which leads to some really funny moments between you and your friends.
So after I played the game and all the DLC's that followed ( there where more than 5 just as fun as the full game ) and repeated it a few times it finally started to lose its edge, after all it was just a coop game with a campaign (it had some mods like survival with waves of mobs etc), you can replay it for so much before it gets old.
Then it came .... Magicka: Wizard Wars, a pure PvP game. I have been addicted to it ever since I got in beta a month ago.
The way I described this game, it doesn't do it any justice but I think you get how much joy this game has brought me.
So now you may ask, "If you already have the Single Player game and you are in the beta for the Multiplayer one, why do you post here, just to spread the word of this Masterpiece?". Well .... no, but I'm glad you asked.
What ~~I would like~~ must have is the [Magicka: Wizard Wars - Flaming Hel Rider Pack]( . Like with most multiplayer games, it has some customization like robes, staffs, weapons, rings and trinkets.
That there beauty is part of the summer sale, filled with pure awesomeness.

CallidusNomine | Ok well you had said that you are "sticking with amd" several times. Intel pros are that it's good for games that use fewer cores, which is most of them at the moment. The 6300 is better for games that use more cores, but not too many games at the moment can fully use 6 cores, so it's a bit of a risk.

Amadan | * Filedump: just unpack everything into `.vim`. I.e. no "management" at all. You don't want that.
* Vimball: kind of like selfextracting archives for Vim (`.vba`). Big downside: they all install in the .vim root, so uninstallation is rather difficult. "Not recommended" is an understatement.
* Pathogen: looks in `.vim/bundle` and autoloads all plugins that are subdirectories there. Package management is either manual or nowadays usually through git submodules: Pathogen is only a plugin loader, not a plugin manager. The only advantage over Vimball / filedump method is separation of plugin directories (however, it is a hefty and quite significant advantage).
* Vundle: looks in `.vim/bundle`, loads plugins you specify in `.vimrc` (e.g. `Bundle "tpope/vim-sensible"` would autoload the plugin in `.vim/bundle/vim-sensible`). However, it also serves as a package manager: given the line above, Vundle will automatically install vim-sensible from its GitHub repository (under user `tpope`). It can also automatically remove plugins that are not defined in `.vimrc`. Thus, your `.vimrc` becomes your one-stop destination for declaring your Vim configuration. It can also specify a subdirectory in a repo as the root plugin directory, something you can't do in Pathogen (given Pathogen does not really accept any configuration).
* NeoBundle: fork of Vundle. Same as Vundle, but better, allowing lazy loading triggered by commands, filetypes or keypresses (e.g. load `fugitive` only when `:Git` or `:Gwrite` etc are issued) to cut down on startup time, more kinds of repositories, and other improvements (bigger list on NeoVundle pages)
* EDIT: Vim-Plug, that I know next-to-nothing about, but appears similar to NeoBundle in some respects.
* EDIT2: VAM (Vim-Addon-Manager), that I know as well as Vim-Plug. Thanks, /u/unglr.
I'm a fan of NeoVundle, even if you do need to write some configuration. Some people prefer Pathogen though, since it is so simple (or rather, deceptively simple - in order to use it effectively, you really should understand how to manage git submodules well).
tl;dr: filedump < vimball << pathogen << vundle < neobundle. |
Filedump: just unpack everything into .vim . I.e. no "management" at all. You don't want that.
Vimball: kind of like selfextracting archives for Vim ( .vba ). Big downside: they all install in the .vim root, so uninstallation is rather difficult. "Not recommended" is an understatement.

Retlaw83 | TTW reads your computer's hard drive and finds Fallout 3's files. It then makes copies and deletes the information present in New Vegas from them. You then use a mod manager or physically plop the files into your NV directory. A TTW mod file then changes the values of items and creatures to work in NV's framework.

SeattleTruth | Quinn is a stronger adc than nidalee, nidalee is a very weak adc lol.
Nid in human form doesn't have AD scalings. So she has her spear, AP scaling poke ability, W, AP scaling trap (multiple uses, not really useful to throwdown in the middle of fights though), and a decent heal/AS Buff, that scales with AP. So you have very minor damage through your damaging abilities (since you don't build AP to scale them), and a heal/AS buff, basically leaving your entire damage output to your AUTOATTACKS.
If you want to have a purely auto attacking champion, why not play Caitlyn, Jinx, Trist, etc?
Quinn scales with AD, has a strong AD scaling Aoe damaging blind (extremely useful when timed right), W granting vision of the fight, preventing further flanks/escapes, and her E, Great damage, especially when combined with her passive. Going bird form isn't really meant for 5v5 teamfights (it's more meant for escaping/chasing down other champions after skirmishes and to increase duel potential), so we'll leave that out of the discussion.
TLDR; Quinn is a better ADC than Nid by FAR, in that particular game you played, your quinn sucked, and the nidalee was better. | Quinn is a stronger adc than nidalee, nidalee is a very weak adc lol.

immortius | There are three parts of an item - the skin, the stats, and the upgrades. The new system doesn't lose anything in the handling of stats and skins - previously you needed an item with the skin you wanted, and an item with the stats you wanted, and you would merge them effectively destroying one. Now you just need an item with the stats you want - so a net improvement.
That leaves upgrades. Previously you could choose either the upgrade from the old or new item and keep it in the merged item, effectively allowing you to move an upgrade while destroying the item which originally had it. Now you can't move upgrades, so your choices are:
1. Salvage the item. This is better than transmutation since you recover materials from the destroyed item as well, but it requires a Black Lion Salvage Kit to be sure of recovering the upgrade. Also, many items cannot be salvaged (anything karma purchased). So for those the only option is
2. The Upgrade Extractor. But this is not cost effective - a charge of the Upgrade Extractor is worth more than nearly every upgrade.
Anyway, tl;dr: The issue isn't the stats, it is the upgrade. Talking about transferring the stats muddles the issue. | There are three parts of an item - the skin, the stats, and the upgrades.

AmunRa666 | The last PTQ I played in I was X-2 going into round 8, I had to play it out because my breakers at that point were not the best, but not worst either. I got paired against the only X-1-1 at the event, which meant I would squeeze into Prize if I beat him.
At this point I really did not care if I prized or not because I had a great day of games. This guy was messy though. He kept missing his Bob triggers, and every time I reminded him, he targeted the most random shit. When he finally played his courser of kruphix and revelead the top his bob would trigger that card then he just draw and I reminded the guy several times he also reveals his draw as well.
I called a judge and told them. dude all of sudden played tighter than ever, he crushed me in game 2, but game 3 I destroyed him and took the match.
Afterwards I asked what the hell game 1 was. and he just looks me straight in the eye and says to me: "I was seeing how much of a scrub you were. "
TL;DR some players will use any edge they can get away with, this isn't one of the best examples, but it can certainly lead to interesting scenarios. | The last PTQ I played in I was X-2 going into round 8, I had to play it out because my breakers at that point were not the best, but not worst either.

buggy78 | I was not expecting Ben to comment, or anyone representing him, at all. I'm very sure that he won't and as I said in my post, is very likely that he knows about this sub.
But if a sign is being given mentioning this sub and a welcome message is not up there, won't it seem that we are just asking for attention just for the sake of it?.. Just like you said, he did an AMA, so the existence of this sub it's not news, so we might as well take the opportunity to say something meaningful to him. Or about him, if we make it a more general post for the larger audience - which I can see as a good idea too, as we could mention the charities he has been involved in, so that anyone can easily find that info and contribute...
