I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

also what were the AMVs woolie was talking about in the podcast, I can't remember the names of them

shame on them for not mentioning Pencilhead though

This is the one from a long time ago that woolie mentioned:

And this is the new one from 2016 he mentioned:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aht9ZSwpMCk


Also he did some Death Stranding side poo poo off camera and sucks at it significantly less now, although I haven't watched the one from yesterday yet, but assuming that's not a poo poo-show, good on him.

The Death Stranding videos on YouTube haven't had the stream overlay so that's a good bet it'll be missing there. I've seen the onesie...it's sure something.

the latest Indivisible has Woolie recruiting Naga Rider and when he gets to the optional color schemes, well, if you've seen the options before, you know which one he's going to pick, and the instant he sets eyes upon it he begins to generate a stage 9 happiness froth

Yeah, don't play Mobas.

Heroes of the Storm was halfway decent since it tried to pull itself away from some of mechanics of those games that (imo) lend towards toxicity, while doing some stuff like different map objectives, but Blizzard is basically back burnering it hard, and you're definitely still going to run into awful toxic players because it's a team game.

MOBAs are good if you are looking for one very specific sort of game, but I don’t fault anyone for not liking them.

I have over 500 hours played in League and another 600 in dota and in fact am playing dota as I'm typing this post.

Don't play these games. Don't do it.

I kinda want to find a way to tell Pat about how LoL didn't have role select for the longest time, it just threw five random people together and expected them to work it out in champ select.

ranked dota has role queue now, but it's worse than league because it doesn't force people to play support. so every non-support role has 2-3 hour queues at the higher ranks.

but that's only in ranked. you have to play 100 hours of "mid or i feed" unranked matches to get to that point

For LoL, absolutely. All it takes is one pro player using a bad champion and doing well / using a champion in a role they're not suited for and suddenly every jackass in the world thinks they can do it. :argh:

Just finished the podcast today, haven't had any time to check out that part 2 but I'm amazed that no one seemed to realize that in the scenario stated you'd be wearing a dress shirt and vest, which could not form a proper barf bowl since they're buttoned up and would thus be full of holes. Leaks are basically guaranteed.

Also this strategy sound like some geeky, overthinking insanity or something. It's not going to be viewed as a good deed or whatever even if it works, best case no one notices at all, otherwise you're just the weird guy that barfed in his shirt and ran away.

Plus the discussion came from him and several others eating bad rice at a wedding, which would be after the ceremony and during the reception which would be a much smaller problem... Maybe, I guess you'd be more likely to throw up on a table which would be a bit worse. It's also still dealing with the edge case of it being surprise, very-little-time-to-react vomit.

Anyway, anyone who gets mad at you for being sick and you're not like doing it intentionally, not pulling a typhoid Mary or whatever, is a dick.

Hearing Woolie feverishly chant "Dump and barf, dump and barf!" while his buddy and wife stare at him in confusion is some of the most brilliant abstract performance art the guys have ever done.

I feel like a lot of people would be mad about that, simply for it not having difficulty select.


I never fully understood why some people so desperately wanted it to be easier... because I thought everyone was usually jerking off about "DARKS SOULZ IS THE HARDEST GAME EVAR!1!" So I figured they'd continue to masturbate about any "Souls-like" or game from that company being hard. :shrug:

I feel like the souls series would be a hard game to balance multiple difficulties for(I mean poo poo, they can barely handle one, looking at you DS2:Scholar), but I feel like just adding some multiplier options would go a long way for most people, like say iframe multipliers, parry window multipliers, player health multipliers, enemy health multipliers, etc. Would even make it possible to make the game harder for those idiots that like to jerk off about that.

Actually I wonder how possible this would be with cheatengine.

There's a CheatEngine-based randomizer for DS2 that works well. Based on that, I'd assume that modifying the rest of the game is also possible.
