MEMES

You really need to stop acting like you’re in any way responsible or linked to what the devs did. Maybe they looked at your thing. Maybe they didn’t. But you’re acting really superior about it either way, and it’s genuinely grating on people. For example, in the Rome at War mod, I’ve already done variants of:

  • Early infantry units
  • Archer/ranged units that ignore armor
  • Infantry with extra HP
  • Infantry with extra line of sight
  • Buildings (and also a variant with units) making nearby villagers work faster
  • Cav regenerating HP
  • Towers gaining extra attack and towers + Castles shooting scorpion bolts
  • Spearmen and Scouts that take less pop space

It’s really not that hard to make bonuses like this. You may have made similar designs, but that doesn’t justify your attitude in my opinion, or posting about it everywhere.

I’m poking fun at the possibility they were inspired by me. It’s probably just a coincidence, but if there was some inspiration, I’m making the joke that it’s my fault if the civs are broken. I guess you don’t understand my humor. It’s massively self-deprecating.

We don’t, that’s true. But like I said, I’m just making jokes about the possibility that they did.

I didn’t mean to, really. A lot of people probably inspired the devs. They just don’t talk about it because they don’t have an inherent desire to feel noticed like I do.

Everything I do is grating on people at some point. It’s not intentional. I just have a different way of thinking and behaving, and no one really understands it. I try to act normal most of the time, but when I become obsessive over certain topics, I overanalyze and end up just annoying people with my aloof and head-in-the-clouds demeanor. I really don’t mean to cause anyone any harm. It’s just me being in my own bubble like always.

Only some of these are ones I’ve actually come up with on my own. So I admit that there are much better designers out there. I tend to be very one-minded when it comes to figuring out how to make things unique. I don’t think outside the box very often, and my concepts end up being very safe as a result. So it’s probably good the devs didn’t go with a general concept similar to mine, as that wouldn’t be as interesting.

They’re actually not as similar as I thought they were at first glance. They’re very different. Now I just make fun of my own idiocy, like I always do. Insulting myself is how I cope with my mistakes and failings.

My attitude is entirely unintentional, and a result of my head being in the clouds at every given moment in the day. I don’t live in the same reality as everyone else, but one of my own creation, and that warps my perception of myself and how much I really matter. That will change as I participate more in the real world and less in my own.

Again, that’s just a product of my obsessiveness. New information tends to dominate my psyche, and I end up telling everyone everywhere about my new discovery. It goes away after a very short amount of time.

In that case, I’m sorry for misinterpreting your motivations.

Yes, it’s really just aloofness and social awkwardness that are the cause of all this, not arrogance or intentional maliciousness.

Now, can we get back to the memes and meta humor?

Sure.

Didn’t play any of those games for more than 30 minutes. So no idea.

Eagles have bonuses against monks too. The Warrior Priest is a monk, so it takes bonus damage from the Eagle line.

I know. But they cost gold. So no trash counter to Warrior Priest.

Well, what comes if they do Swiss with My UU concept :skull_and_crossbones:

Hard to make a Swiss civ without a Swiss Guard UU.

smash bros vs aoe2 competitive scenes meme

This one’s a bit more serious and a lot more topical and niche. Nintendo recently announced new tournament guidelines for their games, which would essentially kill the competitive Smash Bros scene. I wonder how many people we can convince to move to AoE2, a game that actually cares about tournaments, despite the massive skillset differences…

RTS and MOBAs barely have any comp players in common, a smashbro pro simply wont a pro in AOE games.

also afaik microsofts approach is largely one of “dont mind, dont care” when it comes tournaments, which IMO is the right thing to do, if an Esport cant at least stand a bit on its own legs it shouldn’t artificially be forced to exist.
