Q: What is Soraka's best role after her changes?

freebol96As you all know, Soraka recently received a gameplay update with new abilities with some similarities to her old abilities. Before her nerfs she was considered a high tier mid-laner. What is her best role now after her gameplay update, is she still a strong midlaner or a better support? maybe eve...

@badp Incidentally, if you read AlliedModders, you'll probably see me pushing PrecacheScriptSound and EmitGameSound* functions. Mainly because I wrote that code, but also because it's really convenient to be able to fetch all the settings the game engine uses for a sound.

@Batophobia Firefox is full of memory leaks, so if you just keep it open for a long time it's going to use a lot of memory, regardless of what tabs you have open.

@Batophobia Pretty certain it was just position based in the other games. Distance did not come into play.

@JasonBerkan I only got blue shell'd when I was farther out in front. Never had it happen when the race was tight

@JasonBerkan I also believe older games only based it on current rank in the race, rather than relative distance between racers.

@Batophobia That might be because once you got a lead, you easily got a large lead

@Batophobia I cannot recall any time in MK Wii that I was in 2nd and received a blue shell. The best you could get was 3x red.

The best strategy if you're about to get Blue Shelled is to get close to 2nd/3rd place.

@murgatroid99 True, but distance between first and [player that get's blue shell]

Yeah, I don't know. But I think that's pretty good evidence that, at least in MK 8, items are at least partially distance based.

@OrigamiRobot They are useless. They don't block incoming shells, and unless your placement is perfect, anyone can tell they don't belong and avoid them.

@JasonBerkan I liked holding them and then dropping them right behind a real item box

It's hard to tell, honestly. Strictly speaking, it could be tested in MK wii (versus mode, no CPU, have 1 person drive 1 full lap, see how the 2nd place item distribution works from there)

@JasonBerkan And the fact that people know to avoid them can be a good thing
You can put them on ramps so people will avoid shortcuts

If second place item distribution is consistent with normal, then it's based on place.

@OrigamiRobot 3x banana is better, as you get better coverage.

They're good for blocking things, but I don't expect people to fall for them.

Also, I can't think of many spots where one item completely blocks a path.

It doesn't have to completely block it, it just has to deincentivize it.
Also, can't you jump over bananas?

@OrigamiRobot I don't think so. In 64, you could brake slightly and avoid spinning out.

Netlabel
A netlabel (also online label, web label, digi label, MP3 label or download label) is a record label that distributes its music through digital audio formats (such as MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, or WAV) over the Internet. While similar to traditional record labels in many respects, netlabels typically emphasize free distribution online, often under licenses that encourage works to be shared (e.g., Creative Commons licenses), and artists often retain copyright. Netlabels may have a considerably lower staff count than traditional record labels, in some instances being only a single individual in control...

Why does one need a record label of any form to distribute their music on the internet?

> He soon discovered that the company he chose for distributing his music allows anyone, signed or unsigned, to dispense their music through iTunes, Amazon, Napster, etc. What this means, the Dj explains, is that the music playing field has become quite level. With all artists being allowed the ability to sell their music, it becomes nearly impossible for any one of them to be found in an infinite online music store which, Vanish says, is why a record label is still important.
@Unionhawk It's basically the same reasons we still have game publishers.

So... I have a meeting at 2pm in the Library of Michigan building. Their website for whatever reason doesn't have a street address.
The problem is that Google Maps and Google Street View don't agree as to where it actually is.
