  • God I hated that change so much. I only play 2v2 ranked with my buddy now. I never play anything else anymore.

    There was no reason to ruin casual like that. I remember all the whiners on the RL subreddit saying crap like “I want to play a full match with a team!” and all I could think was, then go fucking play ranked! They like to drop terms like “not sweating” to justify ruining casual. Really?? If you don’t give a crap about ranking then who cares what ranking you are in ranked matches? Just go play ranked! And if you’re that mentally weak, then yell at epic to let you hide your ranking from being displayed after matches instead of ruining an entire game mode.

    I miss having a zero commitment game mode that I can pop in while waiting for my buddy to take a dump or something. Now casual is just ranked without the ranking. It still has mmr, you can’t leave without bans, it’s absolutely pointless and might as well not exist. Let me go get my ass slapped by a grandmaster! Or let me show off to a bunch of bronzies. It hurts no one.







  • Okay, very confusing question…

    So, assuming you want to know how heavy only the “solid at room temperature” elements of the sun are, let’s try this.

    The sun is 1.989 × 10^30 kilograms.

    According to this: https://www.thoughtco.com/element-composition-of-sun-607581 we can see the % of total mass for each element.

    • Element % of total atoms % of total mass
    • Hydrogen 91.2 71.0
    • Helium 8.7 27.1
    • Oxygen 0.078 0.97
    • Carbon 0.043 0.40
    • Nitrogen 0.0088 0.096
    • Silicon 0.0045 0.099
    • Magnesium 0.0038 0.076
    • Neon 0.0035 0.058
    • Iron 0.030 0.014
    • Sulfur 0.015 0.040

    Doing the math and removing the “gas at room temperature” elements… the total mass would be:

    1.7901 * 10^28 kilograms

    Note: Pretty sure I’ve messed something up here in the calculations but the mass is so ridiculously heavy that I don’t think it really matters.

    My son’s only 8 so I have no personal experience parenting a tween/teen. So take that into consideration with my advice.

    How about the next time you’re watching with them, try this:

    "I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because I was trusted to be intelligent and wise enough to critically select what I watched or read and learn from the mistakes I made if I consumed something negatively influential. I have tried to extend this same trust to you, but the constant repetition of what you hear and your inability to form a cogent argument makes me feel like your YouTube viewing habits are teaching you to accept concepts at face-value simply because they are popular.

    If you will engage with me in a discussion on these videos, I’ll leave you alone and continue to trust you on this. However, if you continue to shrug and dismiss the conversation, I will have to consider blocking this content until you are ready to engage with me on a deeper level."

    I know modern parenting advice tells us to prefer reward over punishment so if there’s a reward strong enough to motivate them to engage, go with that. But if punishment is a greater motivator, I’d say damn the modern parenting advice.


  • Moder was so painful. Queen and Yagluth were so much easier in comparison.

    Working our way through the Ashlands now and well, what a frustrating area as well. Had to campfire like crazy a kilometer out just to be able to breathe for two seconds without being swarmed. We ended up going kamikaze to siege a fortress for a base and suddenly I can actually play for more than 5 seconds without being attacked.

    A lot of Valheim bosses are only difficult because of the massive amounts of health. Without the crazy high amounts of health, none of them seem to have difficult mechanics.
