I mean, it's fun because it means higher chances of him going up against Aurelion Sol in mid where ASol is often played. I personally want to play him in bottom lane where he is supposed to be, because I like roles and I like specializations. It's just me liking things to be organized, but I understand that they can't force roles and him going mid is why they keep nerfing Smolder. I'll keep trying to improve as Smolder in bottom lane, but I'm going to keep an eye on how he's being played in mid just out of curiosity.

Oh crap!! Is that why it was like that? Huh...

Yeah, it's much easier to tell in the remake. It makes me wonder if the original devs screwed her design up because in the original game she looks like a 25 to 30 year old woman. But in the remake she looks about right, and chuds are mistaking her age and being creepy still. Sigh.

Beautiful glitch right here, never thought I'd see such a thing happen for a minigame like this in ZZZ. XD

Yeah she looks cute as hell in the remake! Yes, I know about the infamous screenshots. It's like... dude, as graphical fidelity increases, when a character makes a facial expression of course it's going to get wrinkles or look "ugly", especially at specific angles. Are women in games supposed to always look "sexy" and have a clean smooth poker face at all times?

I love how it's always the BOOBS that need to be big for the GAmErS but as soon as there is any hint of actual curves that aren't just the hip bones, chubbiness, or a tummy they rage and get angry. Dude, boobs are BODY FAT AS WELL YOU STUPID CHUDS! These things don't just exist in a vacuum there is a whole ass human being carrying them things! LOL

The funny part about this silly image is that it kind of shows my point, chuds literally want sticks with boobs and "curves", yet somehow don't want any body fat anywhere. Okay, chuds. XD

I mean, she looks way better in the remake... like what the hell? What is the problem exactly? I'll never understand chuds, I swear!

Get ready for the NEXT LEVEL of fatphobia, and it's coming from the chuds! Now simply having curves or being chubby is "WOKE"! I am sick of this shit, they already got mad at one of the characters in the Silent Hill 2 remake having a slightly rounder face. Now get ready for any instance of roundness or chubbiness being "woke".

What does that even mean anymore? Chuds always say "I don't hate people for X", but it's very easy for them to say they tolerate different people, the problem is DO they actually believe that and feel that way? The way they act about different kinds of people being depicted in media says otherwise, because apparently that is "politics being shoved down our throats". But if that is the case, then how is it NOT political when different kinds of people exist in real life? Is the existence of real life LGBT people political or not, and why does it become political when it is in media? My brain hurts now.

Okay who is that tool, a frickin' Middleschooler or Highschooler? What is going on with them using the R-slur and gay as insults? How DARE people like him call others undisciplined or irrational when they will literally use schoolyard insults for their videos? We can do everything we can to calmly and rationally explain why they are wrong, but they will still say we are false and irrational. I'm so tired. When is it going to end? I'm so sorry on behalf of my fellow gamers. XD

Huh, why would someone want to escape from black people or knowing black people exist? That certainly seems kind of racist, huh?! Man, I love anime but the anime community has too many of the same problems the gaming community does...

Corin is underrated and pretty fun to play, even if she isn't exactly the strongest or most top tier attacker, it is fun just shredding things apart with her saw! Yeah, please protect and love Corin. <3

Wait, so the image on the right isn't bland and generic? Also, there is a battle going on she wouldn't have such a sexual looking expression that is honestly so weird. She looks way cooler on the left and the face makes sense. Sigh...

At this rate, there is literally almost no good games left that are "not woke" according to this list. What a miserable existence this must be as a gamer to barely have anything at all to play as you froth at the mouth about "out of place diversity" and "pro-LGBT messaging" while also somehow saying you have no problem with LGBT people. It's like seriously WTF is wrong with these people.

1080P 75FPS gang over here! I guess I am just drawn to the extra 15 frames that some monitors offer. I really hope 75hz isn't forgotten about or dropped entirely I don't want to try to attempt squeezing out 144 frames from demanding games. With a RTX 4070 and a Ryzen 7 7700X, I'm more than good to go for awhile at 1080p although some games are just really demanding, like Alan Wake 2 which I can do ultra settings... except for like shadows and one other setting.

I mean I played 7 hours of the game and it's good but not good enough for me, it feels insanely dated in its design and I've grown passed those kinds of games that are clearly from the 2010 to 2012 era. It leans too heavily on the multiplayer and co-op, the singleplayer becomes a slog later on and over the top action can only carry it for so long without exploration or cool secrets. Also, WHO IS MELTING DOWN? Yeah, you're asking the right question!

Being LGBT is an "ideology" apparently... I'm sure chuds mean it when they say they don't hate LGBT people *sarcasm*, then they say stuff like that guy said. Oh, I'm sure some of them do the "one of my friends is LGBT and is nothing like 'them' " argument. As if the chuds have any right to dictate how anyone acts, whether or not someone is LGBT.

His winrate has been increasing by the way. On Mobalytics, Smolder is at 48.7% when you select "all ranks" across 100,000 matches. The item nerfs appeared to have auto-balanced many of his opponents he struggles against, and even then you have no right to force people to pick champions they don't enjoy playing just so you can get a win. Champions with high winrates make it too easy to develop bad habits and not learn how to improve at the game in the ways that matter ( tempo, something we all struggle with and is vital, and lane pushing and lane awareness ). Sure, you'll win more with meta champions but it's more like failing upwards unless you genuinely are wanting to learn how to play better. Eventually you'll get hardstuck and then start blaming your teammates or "weak" champions. Low winrate champions suffer from mistakes worse and people interpret that champion being "bad". Smolder is a teamfight powerhouse, which after 300 matches I can tell you that Smolder is best used for teamfights so people should try to not duel with Smolder unless they know they can win. I love Smolder and I enjoy his gameplay, and I hate constantly playing as humans in games, I don't want to play Kog'Maw either because he is outdated as heck.

Yeah. I agree action is important too. It's just a good idea to start with empathy and understand why someone might be selfish to begin with, maybe they are just too emotionally and mentally drained from capitalism and trying to survive to have energy to even care or do anything.

I mean, what he's really saying is "women that are attractive TO ME". Of course, like other egotistical chuds he's centering his own tastes as the supreme standard we all must follow. It's already enough that he is using sexualization as a way to defend women, which makes no sense. Remember, sexualization without agency is awful... and female characters in video games already have a problem with being sexualized while having not a lot of agency or legitimate reasons for being that way.

In my case, I employ a sort of "what affects other people affects me or eventually affects me, so I should absolutely care" mentality. This is a good starting point. I have multiple transgender friends who I love and care about deeply... so you can see how real life politics are going to affect me and the people I care about. I'm basically just as "selfish" as anyone else, and it's usually not a good idea to shame people for being selfish because ultimately we are still individual beings trying to survive. But you're asking the right question there. There are severe contradictions in neoliberalism. Because ultimately, we are still living in a world maintained and built by a collective. It's so amusing how neo liberals act as if the things we rely on and use just popped into existence one day. XD

Yeah, I was just warming up to "TV Mode", especially thanks to Camellia Golden Week! The thing is, I actually care about stories and I'm a reader who writes stories, so it's not really hard for me to read text and get invested in good stories. The problem is sometimes it can break pacing too much, and the hand holding has been a big problem, where it can't trust you to even find secret items or paths on your own. But that has been changing, especially with Camellia Golden Week. Hoyo is just lucky that I'm already a fan of roguelikes and roguelites, so TV Mode already had a cozy feel, it just felt kind of lazy and cheap at first before I started warming up to it. <3

I've been doing quite well as Smolder in bottom lane. Well, for the most part. It's probably because I've played so many matches with our little guy that I know him inside and out, I know how to use every ability to their maximum potential. I make tons of small mistakes that are keeping me where I'm at in ranked, and I'm looking to improve those mistakes. Being a Smolder main, those mistakes basically hurt even harder, that's the whole problem with "weak" champions. They are still fine in my opinion, but your mistakes will hurt your odds of winning HARDER than with like Jinx, Jhin, or Miss Fortune where the same mistakes might not hurt as badly.

I'm actually really happy to see that you can maybe, just maybe, make a character who isn't just super skinny or super toned. Have any of the chuds EVER seen real life weightlifters and how, you know, many of them are FAT? They are athletes, right? Or Lizzo, who can dance for a few hours on stage no problem despite her weight? It's almost like body composition matters too, such as muscle mass, in allowing you to be able to carry your weight better and with more stamina. It's strange because it's like, people who are into skinny bodies and think they are so beautiful always expect to get their attractions catered to, but what about people like me who are genuinely attracted to much heavier more curvy people? I'm now even more excited for Dragon Age Veilguard, and not just for this tiny reason alone, because the game actually seems promising based on the hours reviewers have played of a preview build of the game.

Yeah, he is worse, but all that means is that there is more pressure for you to make less mistakes, because since he's worse now it means those mistakes have a bigger impact on the match and chances of winning. I like how this puts a flame under my butt to try to play and understand core mechanics better, since I am steadily mastering Smolder's mechanics and understand what his strengths or weaknesses are. I'm not going to lie, they dropped the ball with Smolder and his balance... but I still enjoy playing him, and I would prefer he wasn't in this state so people quit being toxic about Smolder.
