"...are human chasing games basically the human equivalent to our hunts?"
"Huh?"
"I know they say they don't hunt like us anymore but look."
"What am I looking at? younglings running around aimlessly?"
"the humans you quack."
"That's who I'm looking at. Some of them are fast ye but there's no tactic, no strategy, just mindless running."
"Focus on the adult male. The one who is paired with the youngest."
"...He's not bad I guess. The child slows him down though--Look! she's following him rather than letting him drive them towards her."
"...maybe I was wrong. Oof this hurts to watch." they suck a breath through their teeth. "So many mistakes."
"Aye, my young would've never done what she's doing."
"Oh...looks like he's giving her a thrashing."
"Scolding, not thrashing. They believe thrashing is too harsh on them given their size."
"Bah...he's leaving her. Better off without her."
.
"I don't understand why he talks to them instead of jumping at them."
"Perhaps he doesn't think he can make the jump without falling in? Or to make them more nervous, he walks slowly as he talks. Nervous prey are more reckless."
"True but by the time he runs to where it narrows they'll have made it the trees. He's losing his chance to catch them before they hide--"
"..." "..."
"Sneaky little whelp." they chuckle. "she jumped the narrow end while he distracted them."
"Aye. Can't outrun them but can be quieter than them. Not my preferred way of doing things but I respect that."
"Oh oh! Look at the others now! Look at how they talk amongst themselves. Look at how they're trying to figure out what they'll do now."
"Where will you go little ones? To the steep hills? Back to the stream? The open fields?"
"Oop, a lone runner. Bait. Ah, he holds the child back from taking it."
"...perhaps they are more like us than we thought."
"Perhaps they are more like us than they thought."

I rest easy knowing that the planted milkvan roof pap photos will be referenced on the straight-baiting Wikipedia page soon enough.

I can be normal about Random Crits in TF2.
#team fortress 2#tf2#IhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethemIhatethem#yeah I'm aware it's a janky 17 year old game#I'm aware Valve is probably never gonna turn em off and that community servers exist BUT#when I randomly crit another player I feel nothing and when I die to one I feel a Zealous rage not seen since the Crusades#Yeah I may be a Spy player. yeah I might have gotten random crit several times in one fucking game when I otherwise would maybe survive#AND how it disproportionately screws over Spy because in order to do his main gimmicks he has to be in melee range#oh yeah and did I mention melees have the ability to have upwards of 60% random crit chance?#Sure when other people insta-kill someone with a melee it's funny but when I. the Spy player. insta kill someone#Rare high moments my pasty white ASS#not to mention how dispraportionately these benefit some classes (demo#look.it's basic math#the lowest crit chance on a ranged weapon is what 6%?#so 1 out of every 20 or so shots will random crit#(don't ask me how this shit works for sustained damage classes like Heavy and Pyro)#most servers are 24 players right?#so if everyone shoots at the same time odds are at least 1 player is going to get a random crit#multiply that by how ever many hundreds of shots are fired over the course of a game and suddenly it isn't so rare#and suddenly those “rare high moments” aren't so rare any more#not to mention how it benefits classes like demo. soldier. and pyro because of their wide area of effect#jank hit reg makes you miss a stab and now the medic's aware of you? BAM random crit from an Ubersaw#trying to bait an engie away from his sentry you just sapped? BAM Random Crit from a wrench#I think there's a good reason you never see a random triple damage bonus in any other FPS game ever

i'm really bummed out about genshin because i really do not like natlan, there's so many things wrong with it and every new thing that comes out seems to be making it worse. i really hope it's just this nation somehow and what comes after it returns to form because i thought fontaine was really good, how did it get so bad???

i really can't even begin to express how much i need people especially in the selfship community to just stop answering anon hate. block them and delete it. you are doing nothing good for yourself by answering it. your epic comeback doesn't deter them it just makes them mock you in private servers and send more. Please stop feeding the trolls.

If you were a worm I'd guard off your area so that my chickens don't maul you and bring you different flowers everyday
Worms are funky, I loved finding them as a kid. Although I was mostly asked to find them so my dad could use them as bait- (I always lied and said I didnt find any and took the worms to a safer spot which was my mum's rose garden because no one was allowed to dig near them lol)

Yes pls keep me safe from your chickens and bring me flowers <333 maybe even place me in the compost

That's some ideas I cannot stand by! If you writhing any story at all - the story should start at the start. And it's gotta be interesting at the start. Don't wait (for what??) to make your work interesting, beging with interesting instead. "longterm, emhe" - EXCUSES!!1!1!!!

I'm sorry for being continually on my bullshit but I truly, truly do not believe anyone who didn't give a shit when the liberal arts were cut can whip themselves into a fury wondering why so many people lack critical thinking skills
Like babygirls you let all the critical thinking and history and rhetoric classes get cut what the fuck did you think was gonna happen
You didn't read the Garfield meme, did you

I have been playing beastieball and first of all very good game second of all smth smth Olivia Broussard
#rat rambles#oni posting#the second I heard the basic concept I knew I had to make my player character olivia#Ive also been ofc doing an oni naming theme but thats a given#important context in my hcs olivia was a pretty sportsy teenager#but yeah Im also enjoying the endless sense of dread I get anytime I make story progress in this game#I need that guy dead NOW#also I forget their name but yeah rpedictably the nonbinary scientist is my favorite npc currently#but yeah I feel like Im at a weird point game progression wise where Im strong enough to take every fight I know of but I don't know how to#access most of the side content I want to do first so Ive mostly just been further training#dont get me wrong I was still underleveled for the last star coach match I did but they were like level 50 so y'know#I won btw because Im a hashtag gamer (I got my ass kicked the first time but the second time I barely scraped by)#ok I say barely but Im pretty sure I only lost one round most of my party was just on deaths door the whole time#I recently decided to rework my team since I wasn't having a lot of fun with my old one#I might end up mixing and matching my old and new teams a bit eventually but I rly like my current team#Im definitely still learning how to use it well tho and I can definitely feel that offensively it could be better#well actually more like it needs better defense to be more offensive#all my guys have good bulk in at least one damage type but only two are all around capable of taking hits#the other three are incredibly fragile in different stats and as such a lot of my gameplay at higher levels involved baiting and switching#which has been working out well enough so far but it definitely means my battles run slower than Id like#in particular because I only have one beastie capable of healing itself so its easy to back myself into a corner if I take too long#I also definitely need to look into redoing the stats for my dragonfly beastie as while shes fairly bulky she rly needs a bit more bulk#I also super need to look into getting some friendship skills for her since she just doesn't have the tools she needs rn to truly flourish#I believe in her tho she was the main inspiration for my current team and how I wanted it to play#which unfortunately we aren't quite able to do yet due to the fragility of everyone#again they Are quite bulky in certain areas but extremely fragile in others#the exception is my boy joshua who can tank most hits but is noy particularly helpful outside of that rn#which I also want to remedy#now the main question for me rn is if I considered switching out one of my more offensive units for someone with more utility#because a certain nikola may be a needed pivot currently but he was also supposed to be far more offensively useful than he can be atm
