So I'm just getting into ranked (on EUW), but I see he has a 13.53% pick rate and a 16.16% ban rate. Assuming the champ select is fair, of those 13% of games, half of them you'll get the pick, and the other half will be your opponent.

Add to that the 0-2% autofill that junglers get, and 5-10% of unplayable team matchups. That means I wouldn't be able to play him in about......≈31.43% of my games.

Meaning if I play a 1000 games, I won't get to play him in 310 of them. The math can be changed around but the numers are still pretty big.

I really want a hyper-mechanical champ, but I'm worried I'd be wasting times with these statistics, and that I could improve far more, far quicker with some more often available champ.

What do you guys think?

IMPORTANT:

I'm not asking for a simple bottle movie. For example "Locke," "Buried," or "Phone Booth" aren't exactly what I want. It's something more specific and niche.

---

It has to have:

• A warm, lived-in location (like a cabin, or a cottage or a mansion etc.)

• some reason they're stuck there that adds a base level of stakes (like a snowstorm or a rainstorm or an isolated place etc.)

• a group of people sharing the same space

---

Optional but preferred:

• They're settling in for the night: conversation, food and drinks

• There's a threat (like a serial killer on the loose or ghosts) that gives stakes but people don't just leave easily, they have to stay in the place and contend

• Horror is fine, like The Thing and The Shining, BUT NOT absolutely obscene, grotesque, extreme gore and violence. That makes it not cozy.

---

The perfect example would be an episode of the old british TV show "Only Fools and Horses" where the three main characters arrive at a cottage at night and a police officer warns them that a serial killer is on the loose so they stay, start preparing food and games, while it's raining like hell outside and it's night. It's so intimate and introverted and it has drama and stakes, and I love the 1970s aesthetic of it.

The whole thing's just SO DAMN COZY.

This whole trope is my favorite in all of storytelling and is just inherently cozy to me. Are there movies like that?

I fricking LOVE this medium, it's soo good! The music, the atmosphere, the creativity of these stories, the sound effects....god!!

The only problem that I have is JESUS CHRIST THEY'RE LONG. I don't want to spend an average of 50+ hours on these.

I just finished my first visual novel, which was Umineko: When They Cry. It was one of the best things I've ever read but I'm severely tired by the like 130 HOURS it took me to complete it. That's like Red Dead Redemption 2 length wtf. This took me 2 months to finish.

So can you please share what the absolute best vns that are under 10 hours are?

It's like every time I search up the best manga it's on hiatus.

I don't want to get so attached and waste my time on an unfinished story.

What are the absolute best manga that I can read, finish, and FINALLY be satisfied with?

I've read Dodi's one has problems, Fitgirl's ones are either HV or a non-HV that only works on a specific version of Windows 10 and not 11.

Is this game still not cracked?

I've heard about that Buridan's Ass thought experiment where a donkey is placed between two perfectly equal bales of hay, and the idea is that he cannot choose because there is no logical reason to prefer either so he'll just starve in the middle.

Could the same be applied to God? (Abhramic God I mean) Like if he was solving one of those Maze games where you drag your pen through the corridors to get from one side to the other, and there was a crossroads at one point with two perfectly equal options: equal distance to the end, equal width, equal work needed to finish both....

Would God be able to finish the maze? If God is a perfect being and all his actions are perfect, what is the "perfect choice" given two equal possibilities?

I don't know if anyone else experienced this, but AOT gives me a buzzing feeling in my body.

The sheer seriousness, dignity, philosophical, existential, poetic moments... The beautiful music that spans from poetic, tender and nostalgic to extremely violent and intense and is larger than life...

I don't think it's necesarily the size of the world or scope of the story, it's the interactions between the characters. It doesn't feel flippant, or empty or like shallow entertainment. It feels awe-worthy, sublime and significant.

I don't know if I'm making any sense? 😅😅

So I'm a beginner but I'd also like a tablet capable of making professional art. I don't want to have to buy another tablet down the line for $400 for a total of $500 to actually start drawing seriously.

So is it still a competent tablet?

I don't get it. Like, if you only know one champion, what if he gets banned? Or picked? Or counterpicked? Or you get auto-filled into a different role...are you not just screwed? Since you don't know anything else?

Isn't that far more inefficient to deal with than learning just one or two more champions on the side to a basic level?

Why do I keep hearing people say it's the best way to climb? Can someone please explain to me how this is supposed to work?

(I'm not new, I've been playing for 8 months, exclusively ARAM, I don't have a single Ranked game played yet, I just did the placement matches. I have a 50.2% winrate against platinum, emerald and gold players in ARAM.)

I heard somewhere Viktor teaches great fundamentals similar to Orianna and that he's relatively good for climbing, does that hold this year?

So I need intensity, I'm not motivated to play the game otherwise. I want to click my mouse and keyboard constantly, play for exciting outplays and multi-kills and hear that "click click click" constantly in the background.

The champs that interest me the most so far are Yone, Akali and Azir. Both mechanically and aesthetically.

Are these too hard for a low elo player to manage? Would I just be frustrated constantly?

(And by low elo I mean Iron, Bronze and Silver)

So...I don't know anything about card games, never played them. (and I certainly do not plan to spend money on them. So I'm exclusively a f2p player)

Some months ago I was looking into it but I kept hearing that the game is basically:

> on move 1 the opponent makes a 5 minute long combo

> you lose

Is it any better now?

I heard it's extremely complex, up there with Dwarf Fortress and Factorio, I wanted to get into it but I'm unsure.

Has anyone tried it?

I read Brothers Karamazov recently and GOOD GOD could I not put it down. It's such an addictive page turner. I bulldozed through it in like a week.

Same with Master and Margarita and Death of Ivan Ilych.

Whereas something like Moby Dick was absolutely skull-numbingly boring. Having to look up dense archaic words and 19th century whaling concepts every 3 minutes, JUST GET TO THE POINTTTTT.

I want more classics that are actually fun.

So...I don't know anything about WOW. The closest I've been to an MMO was playing GTA San Andreas multiplayer for like 30 minutes 10 years ago.

But this game looks super cool, and given that I don't have the money for a subscription right now, I wanted to start with Turtle, but I just heard it was shut down. Was there a mass emigration to any other particular server? Something beginner friendly that's not toxic and hyper-competitive like I hear Warmane is?

I don't usually listen to metal, I appreciate it but it's not something I'd put it my playlist. I usually listen to japanese pop/rock and classical.

But I found this Maximum the Hormone band and they're soo good! Koino Mega Lover, Zetsubou Billy, Rock'n Roll Chainsaw, All the Lynch All the Mince....

They're my second favorite band now. I'm wondering if there are any like it? Preferably also Japanese, that are juat as intense, weird and crazy but super cool at the same time?

I like having to think hard to the point of suffering....like thinking as labour.

I want a game that exhausts me with how complex it is. Satisfying and genuinely fun to play too of course, just very complex.

Not necessarily menu and UI complexity (although I'm not against it), that's a pretty superficial form of it, I mean complex in regards to attaining the objective.
