The Letting Off Steam Thread - Page 46

Ok, this is happy steam coming out now.

YES! TERRANS AND PROTOSSES ARE NOW QQING ABOUT ZERGS! BALANCE IS RESTABLISHED IN THE WORLD OF STARCRAFT, AND IRL TOO!

This is why we will have nice things :3

Also, heya guys who hate infestors.Tosses complaining about an ability that prevents micro: u jelly? u have forcefields, yo. and on a "tier 1" unit, no less. Terrans complaining about the damage!, you got TANKS, motherfuckers! They do the same shit for free and a higher range. But I guess it's too hard to ask you to use them effectively - in sprinkles, not en masse, because yes, marines are more valuable than tanks if you even think of spreading, and you can trade minerals for gas anytime, you got this weird thing called a mule which means a free 270 minerals per minute per orbital, which means you get a free mineral-only base for each two orbitals. And I don't even say it's unfair, I just ask you to USE YOUR FUCKING EDGES, and stop complaining about ours!
Just think of brood war dudes. At the time, zerglings were higher speed, higher attack speed, and stimmed marines had 2/3 of stimmed marines now with combat shields. 5 lings could kill 4 marines with ease. Yet there were people winning with only marine/medic and some science vessels, when we had lurkers. LURKERS. Not a unit that can't do shit once it spent its energy - and it spends it rather fast, especially if you think of ghosts's emp that is tier 1.5/2 or high templars feedback (which, I admit, comes late, but you don't need it when we have only 1/2 infestors, and when we mass them you should have the templars by then). In general, infestors are a fragile spellcaster, that doesn't do much damage with his main spell, his second spell il usefull only in niche situation and wastes all of his energy, and then the third is usefull in very limited situation and is not the reason why you complain (yet I believe is the only spell which could get nerfed, as neural parasite got nerfed into oblivion since beta and fungal growth gets buffed with each patch). How is this overpowered? Compare to say, sentries, which mean you have the permanent ability to nullify all micro and create the exact position you need to crush an army? Or tanks, which kill all my ground, and thors, who kill all but broodlords in the air, assuming I can get to these slow ass motherfuckers. but that's nothing compared to marines, which don't even need to be described for their awesomeness has turned into the meme of the bar and the nowhere to be found counter. Still, even with these abilities which make me cringe and hate ingame, I think I can overcome these problems. Without infestors. Because I don't use them, except for the occasional gglords/brofestors telling the other guy that he failed his job on keeping pressure on me, or that I just took the whole map (which happens quite often, especially against terran). Now, don't mind my answer, because I'm obviously biaised as fuck. Just cry sweet tears of imbalance while I enjoy playing with people of the same skill as me, and not 2 leagues lower.

Also, ponies rule.

Jesus f. Christ, Blizzard really fucked it up this time, with this new season. Not only is there some deep major flaws in some of the new maps, but I can't practice at all atm. I'm only in plat, so WHY THE FUCK do I get matched up against people who have 1200 ~ 1500 league wins?! I have like 120, HOW THE FUCK am I suppose to compete with them? Lost 8 games in a row, hardly lost any points at all, but I continue to get matched against people who obviously should have been placed WAY higher. And people say that this is because everything has been reset, so I just have to wait for it all to even out... So, basicly, if I wanna stand a fucking chance, and possibly learn and have FUN while laddering, I gotta wait a few weeks.. No wonder why there is hardly any casual gamers left on the ladder. Good fucking job, Fagzard.

I'm angry at myself.

Ever since I lost my job and my girlfeind, moved into my parents place, and taken a job at a crappy local pub, I've refrained from focusing on what's important. I should be finishing my master's thesis and writing/producing/DJing music, but alas, I have been unmotivated ever since.

Partly I'm mad at myself, partly at the jerk that fired me, and partly at the culture most of us live in: mediocre and consumeristic. I keep falling into the hole of sulking over my situation lately and buying shit. Not just buying shit, but entertaining myself when I should be working on things: watching SC2 streams, watching old BW games, watching Nevermind the Buzzcocks, playing CS, playing SC2, reading random threads. I like these sources of entertainment but my time is more precious in the thesis and music.

Which in lies how I feel most of us go through life; We work to consume and instead of finding something we can contribute to/ better ourselves, we settle: settle for our jobs, settle for the relationship we're in, settle for our representation as a community, settle for our friends, settle for our dreams. The problem is it is too easy to settle and I feel guilty constantly, in that I have had the opportunity as a white male from a sizable Midwest community with good schools to bascially be set in terms of surviving as a human being and I take that for granted.

I'm mad at myself and how the culture of entertainment has taken over my felllow community members and my own life. IVE GOT TO GET OUT OF THIS RUT.

*unscrews lid*
TSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
WSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

K ea games, I understand you are tying to launch a competitor to steam, but you don't have to be dicks about it. stop taking your fucking games off steam, nobody is going to use origin its shit and steam has an established userbase. The worst thing is you are acting like it's valve's fault, when you just wanna be greedy and make people use your own shitty service for your own shitty games. really just fuck off ea. Old republic is probably going to suck too.

I truely hate the design of the protoss race and the cheapness in the way protoss players win their matches. Whether I play terran or zerg when I encounter the many protoss on the ladder my blood just begins to boil. I just really f**king hate that race. The counters to collossus are frustrating, forcefields are frustrating, psy storms are frustrating, warp-ins are frustrating and not being able to harass a competent protoss makes it even more frustrating. I face only protoss on ranked with sometimes a zerg mixed in just showing how easy that race is and the lack of skill and character of the player who controls protoss. Yea, I really f**king hate that race I wish they just removed it from the game. End rant.

America's school system's fucking obsession with paperwork, laziness, and following instructions like robots.

Been here for 6 years and it never stops pissing me off. Work my ass off for some dumb American Studies HNS essay providing insight into the underlying motivations for certain actions during world war I due to government and corporate self interests and provide like 10 additional sources compared to everyone else then grade comes. Drrrr you get a B you didnt follow the structure of exactly 3 reasons per paragraph and 3 followed by disproving a counter point to your thesis. In some cases i wrote more fucking reasons and in some paragraphs less jesus christ I still proved my god damned point better than most of the kids in this class and ended up being categorized as a "smart but lazy".
She then used her premade categories to decide our grades for timed essays for the rest of the year without actually reading the essays. I got a fucking B for the year.


Fuck you teacher, you're not even alive you're just some being who gets by day to day with no aspirations performing your job using the bare minimum amount of energy and keeping the class gpa just high enough so that you can get tenure and be even a more lazy cunt than you already are.

I do some sports too, soccer, track, and tennis. I'm pretty average at tennis but i thought i'd try my luck and try tennis instead of track fora change.
I hand in my athletics packet required to sign up two days late but theres still like 3 days before the tryouts start but "LOL sorrrryyyyyyy as you can see by the date, its late" tells me the nurse. I try to reason with her but no lolololol it clearly says the date by which you have to hand in the form.

WTF how much work could it possibly be to take 5 minutes of your time and do 1 packet individually(it takes like 5 minutes ive seen those nurses do the forms". I try to go back to track but i can't because i already picked tennis. Spend the next 2 months rotting away at my house 3 days a week since all i have left to do is clubs and homework.

Heyy FJ youre that Halo Wars players, what league are you now, iechoic was top masters did u live up to his standards?
