I played in both the first test and 2nd test today and it was fun but the roller is pretty good lol easily the best ATM. The worst I say is the charger cannon.

everyone keeps saying the roller is the best, but I was playing with people who understood that you can shoot people who have it

Southeastern Missouri, while mostly covered with boring precipitated sendimentary rocks (**** dolostone), has a little mountain prominence of precambrian felsic igneous rocks (the st. francois mountains), mainly layered rhyolite and ignimbrite deposits on top of granite, with various granite and more mafic intrustions

also there's a few interesting saprolite layers and a bunch of pretty chert scattered around
yo

F*** DOLOSTONE

So what can you do with this information?

being an undergrad (only a freshman lmao), this trip was more just a case study to help understand stuff I learned in class and to get field experience

what I can do with this information is probably be able to better identify other things in the field. actually, the most useful thing I learned was probably what ignimbrite and other pyroclastic flow related stuff looks like

like the area is mostly "solved" anyway, there's tons of papers on the region

Roller overrated.
It's going to be just like any most other FPS games.
Assault Rifles / SMGs are going to be the only competitively viable weapon class. The shotgun analogue (rollers) and sniper analogue are, as always, decidedly underpowered, but due to their qualitative nature of feeling powerful (rather than actually getting good players consistently high kills vs also good players), they are doomed to be bad.

Everyone's sitting here deciding the meta with standard weapons, no custom gear, and only having played a maximum of 2 hours. Quick charge for snipers or an actual scope will make them great, damage up will make rollers actual shotguns. Too early to judge it, man.

One of the very few pleasant exceptions :D
Fun fun arcade!
There's like no automatic weapons either. Needle gun, Sniper's MP, if we're not counting Heavy's spin-up time high CoF 4 pellets per shot minigun (like automatic shotgun).
I mean you could argue that explosive projectiles are dominant in the tf2 meta (rockets and stickies) because they offer more movement options with a much higher damage output than a scout but that's really only in 6v6 and ehhh you still have medics and scouts that are in there too

Ever since playing PM I've been more into a competitive "mindset" lately

For example, I tried to come up with a tier list for the Gamecube Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy game, not that it's accurate since I didn't go too deeply.

"The year is 20BooBoo, everyone plays Boogey to TAS levels of perfection. Despite this, he has yet to actually scare anyone."

If you think roller is bad you suck at positioning yourself

I'll just be laughing once the paintbrush comes out

This would make sense if one of the goals of Turf War was actually to get the most kills. But the goal is to cover more area of the arena with paint than the other team and those specialized weapons are more efficient in doing that. All while the player has strong sneaking capabilities and special abilities that counter their weaknesses. So your prediction that the shotgun and sniper analogues will be bad in a squad has a flawed premise from the get go.

For Splat Zones your kill ratio will matter more since it gives you control of the area, and that is where the Splattershot Jr. will truly shine.

I felt that Boogey's power:reach ratio was greatest, but then again my Skarr experience has been lacking
Boogey ate hits though (and was outreached by the Nergals iirc, though they were both trash tier). Skarr had quick hits, excellent reach, ridiculous damage output and above average health/defense.

I just played Viking, why is he allowed to take out people in three hits

Found this in the Jojo subreddit.
Pretty much how it went down (sometimes.)

I actually forgot Japanese Anime Squid Game was coming out, my Wii U has been sitting in a duffel bag in my room for a couple of weeks.

I seriously dont understand why people think every nintendo game with multiplayer can be competitive, melee was an accident just saying

If it's a multiplayer game, people will try to make it competitive in some way, unless the design of a game is such that it is abhorrent to the competitive mentality.

I don't care what anyone says, pics like these will never fail to get a ton of laughs out of me.

I think Mario Kart clan wars prove this when that game is built to be as annoying as possible.
