Did you use radius collision? I can only imagine that'd be the easiest way for circles. How would you do it for non-circle shapes though? What about complex shapes?

I am sided against JonTron in this argument

I'm not mad at JonTron for using the word handicapped. If I had just seen that tweet alone, I wouldn't have batted an eye. What I am against is people vehemently defending his use of the word and him stuffting all over that guy in the original reply for politely calling him out. I don't think there's any defense for using the word handicapped. But I'm not going to abuse you for using it. It's a habit, I understand. I say it too. I'm not going to rationalize that it's okay that I say it, because I can't really think of a reason why it's not of the same caliber as friend or monday. So when people try to rationalize his behavior instead of understanding that he made a mistake like all humans do, I'm inclined to respond.

Blockland is just so small and irrelevant that people come to conclusions from the two things they know about Blockland. They're not lying, they're just bullstuffting. See the difference?

like if your entire game is not any fun at all without heavily modding it then you have failed as a game designer

they dont have to worry about good game design though as long as the manchildren on youtube play it then it'll still get bought

I disagree. If you made a game and "kickstarted" the mod community with several mods exploring what can be done with your game, and gave it a solid core experience, and optionally an easy way to download and develop mods, then you could attract enough players to make the fun of the game always fresh through the modding.

This point isn't valid. handicapped isn't some 100 year old word once used to describe mentally handicapped people, it's a very recent word and it's too early to "coopt" it and remove it's meaning.

I find "gay" to be a better example because the word is still used to describe homoloveuals (mainly men but also women occasionally) yet is also used to negatively describe things. We didn't decide "well gay people have to be called something different now because i don't want to have to change how i speak", we started to phase out the negative use of this word.

Speaking from personal experience, the use of the word in a negative way and the insinuation that homoloveuality is bad has declined, but it could be because the people i surround myself with are maturer than once before.

this situation is no different. i'm not going to stuff on Jon for saying handicapped. i say it. i'm not proud of it. but it's not defensible. and people seem unable to accept that jon did something wrong, so they are rationalizing his behavior. the way he's handled this (especially when he was rude to the very polite callout) is not admirable.

just lost a loving game to two gold aks because im unranked and they matchmaked with their unranked friend
why the forget is that allowed

Actually when you play unranked I'm pretty sure it pairs you with silvers, then higher silvers, then lower gold novas, etc. until you lose, and uses your ELO to figure it out from there.

But yeah unranked players should be forced to solo queue because teamwork can really help you win games. Your rank probably won't be affected by losing to gold AK's that much.

It's funny because he's effectively outed several of his alts in case Badspot wants to mass-revoke his keys in the future.

You don't get colds from being cold. That's an old wives tale.

I don't think I'm being carried, or am I just wishing too much out of myself?

It doesn't look like it. Just keep trying. Silver is like a vortex.

kills, assists, and deaths are taken into consideration, as well as the ranks of those who kill you and the ranks of those you kill. it looks like you were carried in a few of those, but without the kill stats i can't say for sure.
