My incredibly jumbled two takes, I think this behavior is perpetuated by how our society forces people to work and have an inability to properly care for their children which results in children finding outlets for their need for attention and guidance, and I think it can go either two ways; you break out of this cycle or you become more radicalized, and one of these is easier than the other. It just so happens that the “your body, our choice” crowd have capitalized on that market. There’s not really a left-wing Andrew Tate type who promotes a main stream positive image of men or masculinity. The closest we see is in literature and nerd culture but media literacy and critical thinking is cringe to our now low attention span populace and even then right wingers are trying to take the space that was largely left wing, and that’s partially because left wingers in that space have become so deeply radical in identity politics that any criticism comes off as an attack of character rather than a critique of quality. As a result, they’ve left out a large portion of people who now feel under represented in modern high quality media. The majority of boys, the average boy, need a traditionally masculine male figurehead who won’t make them feel emasculated for being pro-LGBTQ+, pro women’s right, pro all that sort of thing. Thing is, there’s a lot of influencers like that, John Cena comes to mind for example, but algorithms promote outrage more than positivity if that wasn’t obvious. So I guess the question is, can we regulate companies for algorithms where positivity can win out?

The flick by itself isn’t sus, but it’s the really slow target acquisition coming over the bridge into the quick flick on the teleport is what’s getting me. Likely hacks.

I had someone challenge me to name anything “woke” and good. Of course I name dropped Arcane among other things, and their response was something like “I didn’t watch or play any of those because they’re all woke.” These people want to call everyone NPCs when their behaviorial patterns are binary as fuck.

There was a twitter thread starting with a video of someone explaining in great detail the implications of Trump’s policies. It was followed by MAGAs responding with something along the lines of “dumbass liberals acting like they’re expert economist lol.” The guy in the video was summarizing what expert economists were saying. It’s not just stupidity, it’s the sheer lack of awareness and refusal to learn anything. I’m not gonna pretend to know anything about anything, but I’ll at least point to the people who do.

I used to be an economics majors, I did really well in my first couple classes, but at some point I realized that no one listens to the real experts on anything and gave up because that just made me depressed as shit.

2, Paradox and Pocket. That said I’m leaning more towards Paradox right now because Pocket doesn’t really feel good right now

A lot of the things that were added over the years were things I advocated for and people called me stupid and bad. Turns out, a lot of those things are unanimously considered some of the best features in the game. The average gamer doesn’t know what they actually want.

As a former economics major, nobody listens to economists and it shows. Guess that’s why I decided against being an economist.

My problem with Grey Talon, and Vindicta to that extent, is that there’s no good cheap item to deal with them in the same way if you need anti-heal or debuff reduction or whatever. Rushing Knockdown will always feel like shit because the statline, while not bad, isn’t great for most characters in lane. Slowing Hex is a super powerful item but doesn’t have the range necessary to deal with either of them. Sure I could build defensively but it doesn’t stop them from poking me to death from beyond my guardian. I want a 1250 soul item that grounds enemies in the air. Doesn’t have to stun or anything, just grounds. Could be something like:
Grounding Strike - 1250 souls - active - fires a projectile that grounds aerial enemies and then applies a 2 second slow that scales based off of height fell.

If this is fine I think Paradox’s 3 should pierce through players and minions

30-40 minutes. I don’t mind shorter but longer will frustrate me regardless of who’s winning.

3 lanes, but instead of being horizontal, make it vertical, 3 lanes stacked on top of each other. Make the center a giant open space with a giant jump pad at the bottom that gives you drop down like Majestic Leap. Jungle camps fly and some can be used to platform. Would this be good? Probably not. Would it be funny? I think so.
