It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Totally different kinda game but I've had the same experience with Go. Lots of people overplay in all sorts of ways, leaving weaknesses behind to play faster, making too many groups to take away points, trying to build too large of an area, etc. It's easy to get mad and frustrated because you know that it goes against theory and it shouldn't work - but a lot of times if you try to punish it too early or too severely, you're the one that ends up in a bad situation. You have to respect that their moves have value and that their strategy can work, and you have to engage with what they're doing while remaining calm and looking for ways to bleed them.

We talking pokemon go....? Cause like, I see what you mean; personally I go for control of the battlefield kind of play and try and surprise them with like a shadow type (idk I don't really play pokemon go but you make it sound fun)

Just clicked that link and I don't know, I don't think so. The graphics look terrible and the gameplay seems less polished; is it still early access?
