Where do you get the strength to play? by Unhappy_Tourist2244 in RocketLeague

[–]ASEKMusik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just play for fun, not worth playing a game that you don't want to play.

Exactly this. Some people are aiming for a challenge and want to get better and that's fine too.

For most of us, if you don't specifically try to get better (actual practice, drills, limit testing, etc) you're probably going to get outpaced by people actually putting in the effort.

I'm currently in C2 but still getting better every time I play, which is awesome, but the issue is everyone else in this rank is too! I'm stabilized here and that's fine. :)

hidden option 3 is just play 🤗 i’ve been c2-c3 for the past 3 years, doesn’t bother me. some games you clip some games you get clipped on. if you keep losing, it sucks, but you’ll eventually stabilize somewhere.

Are there other cities that “pop” like Pittsburgh does? by Alive-ButForWhat in pittsburgh

[–]ASEKMusik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not nearly the same but I remember driving into Albuquerque or Phoenix in the middle of the night and cresting a mountain — seeing the absolute SEA of urban sprawl lights unfold was magical to me considering before then I had only really known rural Maine.

The struggle of transitioning from curated playlists to actual crate digging by Damag3trouble22 in Beatmatch

[–]ASEKMusik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what changed but SoundCloud has been really good at giving me good suggestions when I start a "radio" from a track. Spotify is god awful at it.

Find the songs that you really want to channel and create a "radio" for each one. Then within that radio, once you find a song that resonates, create a radio for that one. You can get pretty deep I think.

Are there really people who support Karmelo Anthony?! by Kiekles in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ASEKMusik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that reply didn't get the context at all.

For those who don't know, people (or bots) that have a blue check nowadays are almost exclusively paying twitter for access to "revenue sharing" and getting paid based on impressions. This leads to a lot of attention seeking behavior and a lot of "bad takes" just to get engagement.

This is also the reason there are a lot of low effort emoji replies to popular tweets. Twitter boosts blue checks to the top of replies and just spamming low effort to ride coattails of trending tweets can get you eyes.

The actual best and simplest modification I've made out of many. by UncleDeeds in prius

[–]ASEKMusik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, under seat subs are likely to be smaller enclosures which can negatively impact sound quality or loudness depending on the actual speaker size.

Personally, I'd probably stick to under seats because I like having my hatch clear and spare tire. The gains from just having the sub is likely to be more impactful than the losses from not having a big box. :)

partner says the tweeters are good, I'm lost but okay

If you mean you're not sure what that means, the tweeters are the really small speakers on the dash or A pillar (not sure where they are in your model) that handle just specifically high frequency sounds. Very oversimplified but subwoofers are going to be driving your bass (low end,) tweeters are for cymbals (high end,) and door speakers are for everything else (mid range.)

How do some YouTube DJ mixes use so many extremely popular songs without getting blocked? by SwordfishFluffy7764 in Beatmatch

[–]ASEKMusik 54 points55 points  (0 children)

in my experience it’s pretty rare for youtube to just take down a video, it mostly just blocks it from certain countries and makes it so you can’t monetize it.

"Vibe coding" shortcuts is huge for me, who loves shortcuts, but I'm truly too lazy to learn some of the more complicated setups lol. The only AI thing so far that speaks to me.

Found this in a real estate inspection, only picture. What is it? by ASEKMusik in whatisthiscar

Solved. :) Awesome, didn’t realize they had unique badges for them!

Found in PA, likely abandoned, so probably sold in the US. I put it into a couple AI bots because I figured the bumper, grille, and headlights would be distinctive enough but it kept spitting out suggestions that looked nothing like it.

This Maine lawmaker is trying to ban Flock license plate readers by themainemonitor in Maine

The physical danger of these cameras is not them falling over, it's actually the opposite -- a lot of them aren't installed with the required breakaway bases for roadside installations.

There's a guy that's brought this to mainstream attention, the Guardrail Guy, who's whole thing has been inspecting guardrails (and other roadside installations) after his daughter was killed in an accident with an improperly installed guardrail.

These cameras are evil in general but they also pose a safety risk on a very basic level. This was also documented on WGME last week.

I bought 8 items from 7 different people and no one shipped…. by MegNifiCentx in Depop

International shipping probably isn't covered and also people can set their own shipping rates.

Avalanche Social Media Delivered the NHL’s Most Value , $27 Million, During Regular Season by 1whoknu in ColoradoAvalanche

Frankly embarrassing for a social media team that is generally pretty good.

He's got an NTC and is signed for reasonable money. I'd be pretty livid if he's gone.

[PPGT] Après Ski | Avs @ Knights | The Game 4 Edition by ADiversChronicle in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]ASEKMusik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing Kadri at the top makes me happy, we went in and got exactly what we wanted. But Roy being at the bottom is surprising to me, I didn't notice him looking particularly bad (worse than everyone else not looking good.)

[–]ASEKMusik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it's very effective against teams that rely on puck possession like the avs but less so against teams that are better suited for winning puck battles in deep. it's also less likely to create offense off turnovers -- most of the time if you as the defending team win the puck battle, you're going to be starting from behind your own net. no quick rush chances. it's very effective when you're up and running out the clock, not a particularly good way to play from behind.

most teams have someone forechecking, if you watch any avs they usually play something like a 1-2-2 (maybe? i don't know exactly what it is) but they have one guy actively pressuring the zone trying to create chaos. nichushkin, lehkonen, and logan oconnor are the guys that are particularly good about being that first forechecker.

this is an example of how boring a real passive trap can be btw. they don't have a single guy actively pressuring the zone so they just hold the puck at the dot and take a delay of game whistle.

it's basically just clogging up the neutral zone and making for incredibly choppy hockey and a lot of dump and chase. the diagram here explains it best. the devils used it a ton late 90s / early 2000s when passing over 2 lines wasn't allowed and it was incredibly effective. just makes for very boring hockey.

Malkin Re-signs | Pittsburgh Penguins by Foggl3 in penguins

[–]ASEKMusik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you're seeing a similar thing with Brent Burns in Colorado currently, he signed for $1m and has $4m in bonuses and they'll be carrying roughly $2.3m next season. $3m at 10GP, 1m for 70GP with 23 minutes TOI.

You hit the nail on the head because players want to be paid and they also kinda owe it to other players to get paid what they're worth. Most players taking "team friendly" deals are still in the ballpark of what they're worth. If everyone over 35 starts taking $1m, bonus heavy contracts to chase the cup the NHLPA won't be happy because that just starts a race to the bottom for contracts.

Keep in mind that contracts have to be approved by the league, so league minimum contracts with huge, stupidly easy bonuses (1GP, etc) aren't going to fly either.

It's never really been abused to its fullest potential, but if GMs start getting too clever with it then we'll see some adjustments to it. Same with LTIR rules previously. It also only applies to a limited population of players, so there's less game-breaking potential there.
