@DanDryad whoaaaa

[ًً @stoyatel]

in your twenties you're going to experience a sudden shift in your parents behavior to be more kind and supportive towards you that for some unknown reason couldn't have come earlier despite their past behavior contributing to your deeply troubling mental issues they disregarded

Everyone in the r/ValComp is extremely angry that they soft-banned ÉWC discussion and i find that quite funny.

I think it is important to understand why Sportswashing is bad and why a notoriously harmful regime shouldn’t be in control of sports and entertainment as a whole.

@CourtalonX I can't imagine a college PC bang open without a supervisor. Broke college kids would just steal the equipment.

@mantrecou @Leg1oNcs @Dexerto The AI summary is getting sym's story mixed up with this one: https://t.co/jVXpKE3ggs

Don't take AI summaries at face value. Always check the source of the information it is borrowing from.

@Bo_Hoogland Is it Ube flavored? Ube is a great flavor.

[MonteCristo @MonteCristo]

Sideshow is right.

The ENC is the result of the Olympics refusing to work with the Saudi government on esports

It’s because the Saudis would not agree to allow women in leadership roles or follow key Olympic tenets

So now we have the ENC that they made to dodge their problems

@GrizzcoSlosher @CodeShooting @toxicspikes_ I'd include Corbeau here too, but yeah.

Carnari makes sense because she's an entertainer. The Naveen & Corbeau's outfits have similar colors but I wouldn't consider them 100% gijinkas.

Gwynn is really the only one that feels out of place to me.

How standing against Mega Aggron feels like in Pokemon Champions:

[Nick Cho @NickCho]

For many years, I was a part of management of the World Barista Championships and the chair of the US Barista Championships and the single most challenging element was the judging culture.
There's a huge tradeoff that occurs when you don't pay/professionalize judging (like pro sports) where you're relying on judges to show up with incentives and motivations that synergize with everything else, instead of them needing to do a good job so they can keep their job. You attract people who derive ways of extracting value from judging, like being able to throw their weight around in their local community, selling of their sealed product giftings, and various forms of ego inflation. All of this overshadows the folks who judge out of a true sense of service to a community they value.
What makes things worse is that because the judges necessarily work with the organizers, it creates an imbalance where competitors are limited to few avenues to advocate for themselves but judges have almost unlimited access.
The judging culture eventually pushed me out of being involved with coffee competitions, simply because the top decision-makers refused to see that volunteer judges for an event with high stakes almost guarantees corruption and/or dysfunction. I developed a balance-of-power design for the barista championships and the judges threatened to quit unless my design was completely rejected. That was that for my design and for my involvement forever.
I hate to see this in the competitive Pokemon arena, but it's a simple fact: when there are high stakes, you either serve the competitor community or the volunteer judge community, but you cannot serve both. It's up to @playpokemon to choose.

How I be playing Pokemon Champions:

[razur @_Razur]

@eugenevmaim @UrbaneUrban In which case, I agree that it's poorly chosen.

[marks @marks_wong]

Riot is making it clear what type of community they want to establish and what level of behaviour it will tolerate. Its drawing a clear line in the sand.

If you don't like that, then maybe you aren't the type of people they want to stick around.

[razur @_Razur]

@eugenevmaim @UrbaneUrban I could be wrong, but I think it's a matter of not using the name she was given at birth. (Which would be a male name and would misgender / deadname her.)

[razur @_Razur]

@runiVL You'd be surprised at how many pro players lack those traits. 😂

It also could simply be that coaching isn't the right expression of traits for them.

But yeah, I'm surprised we don't see players branch out into other aspects of esports. Even team analyst or broadcast prod.
