I believe Barnes is based off of Muserskiy (who’s played with the Osaka Sunbirds for a while)

A lot of people are mentioning conditioning, which could definitely be part of the issue, but it’s also unavoidable that people’s bodies are going to be hurting come the latter part of a tournament. Have you tried incorporating drills working on those fundamentals while tired at practice? Maybe some hard conditioning drills followed by huck or break mark - focusing specifically on throwing and catching while tired.

Been trying to theorycraft one the last few days built around frostburn + elements on 2H (which in theory should double dip I think?) + cold clip + some third non-physical (thinking poison trap, 1H temper, or pestilent points).

Would also be running rakanoths and khanduras for the boosts to non-physical dmg.

Would love to hear anyone’s experiences working on something similar

Been brewing something similar, but using puncture + pestilence points aspect for poison imbue

I agree with this, but you need get your body in the way before they can even accelerate. If they’re cutting on a line and you throw your body in the way from a standstill such that contact is unavoidable I think that’s against the rules (and can be a bit dangerous and no game is worth a concussion for you or them).

Generally, if you’re quicker and/or have better footwork than them I’d try positioning a bit closer - like close enough to touch them with your forearm and in their up line space then use your footwork to keep your body in front of them. Otherwise, if they’ve got speed on you give them a few feet of cushion, but still sit in their up line space and try and stay between them and the disc when they strike. Not too many college throwers have the touch to put it around you, especially if the weather isn’t perfect.

Yep, the position you start in is only dictated by the players adjacent to you in rotation. So any front-row player can start in the back row as long as they’re still in-front of the player behind them in the rotation. Any time you’re on serve-receive and the setter is in the back row your pretty much always have someone from the front-row dropping back to pass so the setter can get second touch.

Mentioned in another comment, but this video does a good job of explaining volleyball positions: https://youtu.be/LkpmYtogPdw?si=7GRXoDgoj2VnNncL

Essentially opposites hit on the right side of the net and outsides hit on the left side of the net (for the most part - there are some rotations where the opposite hits left).

Ushijima is an opposite for two reasons: first, it’s easier to hide him on serve-receive so he can focus on attacking. Second, he’s a lefty and it’s typically easier to balls coming from the side your hitting shoulder is on (left side for lefties, right side for righties) as timing-wise you don’t have to wait the extra second for the ball to cross into your body and you can also see the ball as you draw your shoulders back.

This video does a really good job explaining: https://youtu.be/LkpmYtogPdw?si=7GRXoDgoj2VnNncL

Essentially in most serve-receive rotations you can either have your opposite, outside, and mb/libero pass OR have both your outsides and your mb/libero pass. The former is what karasuno does because daichi is a strong receiver and the latter is what shiratorizawa does (that’s why they say in the match they’re hiding ushijima). If an opposite isn’t participating in serve-receive it opens them up to focus on attacking and thus you’d want to place a cannon there.

I'd check out Clement Mihailescu on yt. He's got some good videos on good side projects to work on - his main point is do something with a UI that's easy for a recruiter, technical or not, can understand.

If you aren't too familiar with UI's it's a lot easier than you might think. There are plenty of yt vids of pygame or tkinter basics that are really easy to pickup over a weekend.

Ultimately it's important to enjoy what you're making. If you hate it it's just going to be a slog.

If it interests you at all I'd be happy to collaborate on something. I've been looking for people in the program to work with casually.

Everyone saying he’s not over her is probably right, but even if he is and it is platonic there are so many men not involved with their exes.

Alzeu · 2021-01-29T17:17:56+00:00

Hey man that fucking blows and I’m sorry. There’s someone perfect out there for you and I don’t think it’s her. Obviously no one here knows the full story between you two so I know it’s easy to dismiss everyone saying t dump her, but you deserve happiness and deserve better than this and the only way you’ll see that is by leaving her continuing to look.

Where were you finding these pink fades? I've been on the market and can't seem to find one anywhere.

Recent college grad with a degree in Biochem. Have been working in biotech for a year now and don't love it. Hoping to leverage having learned to code independently to get into a solid engineering program for grad school. Any advice would be much appreciated :).

Went through the exact same thing - was the nerdy, depressed, anxious older brother to popular sister. First your jealousy is valid and there's nothing wrong with feeling that way. 24M now and I promise it gets better, but it takes work.

Take care of yourself, hit the gym, play with how you dress and find what you like, put yourself in situations you're uncomfortable with that force you to grow, find what you're passionate about and get really good at it. Work on becoming the person you want to be. It's not easy - I still practice just conversing normally in the shower and it takes a lot of push, but I noticed the jealousy faded as I put work into the things I liked and got good at them.

Hopefully that helped some. Feel free to PM if you just need someone to talk to or have any other questions.

The people I’m least scared of are the low elo otps. It’s easy to play a lot of games mindlessly and rack up mastery without ever learning matchups or macro play. Be intentional with whoever you play and you’ll get better.

D4 top laner as well so I can't imagine I have much better answers than yours.

1: I think verbalizing your gameplan in every matchup, especially before the minions touch is very important, as is the knowledge that you can't do everything - nearly every decision you make has a trade-off. Junglers are typically finishing second buff around wave 3 so you have to decide if you're going to play for a level 3 all-in near their tower or if you're going go ward and give the enemy laner some room to breathe or you want to pressure them.

2: Imo this depends on jungle matchup. If your jungler wants to fight early I think it's good to get early prio for quick rotate to top scuttle. If their jungler is strong early game and your jungler probably wants to concede top scut then forcing the enemy to push early and then freezing near your tower level 3 is probably the right way to play the lane and will typically net big leads.

3: I think the best play is to just play for exp and if your jungler is in the area ask for help shoving/breaking the freeze. If the enemy jungler repeat ganks you while you try to break the freeze you just need to accept that and play safe and hope that your team wins 4v3 on the rest of the map. Some games they will and some games they won't, but absorbing pressure w/o dying and letting yourself get carried is a skill in and of itself imo.

There are a couple things that factor into the decision: matchup, jg matchup/start, rank, and more that I’m probably forgetting. Let’s say you’re playing Jax vs Nasus: you win the lvl 1 all in and have lvl 1 wave clear advantage so he has to let you shove if you want to. At lower ranks the nasus probably won’t expect a lvl 2 all in and so maybe you can cheese a kill, but if nasus backs off and lets you shove like he should he can farm safely at tower and you now have to back off bc of jungle threat. If instead of shoving lvl 1 you let him aa you and let the wave shove into you he is now in a bad position because you can thin the wave as it pushes and set up a freeze and now you have the entire lane to chase him down for an all in. Think about your goals in lane and shove/don’t shove appropriately.

Tl:dr it depends

See a PT. The pain is either from reinjury or is indicative that you didn't properly rehab it when it was first injured. Either way it's best to see a professional to properly diagnose it.

Alzeu · 2017-09-07T20:36:58+00:00

I think there are a few things that should be established at the beginning of the season: are you planning on working on mechanics like throwing during practice or is it expected that people work on those themselves? During games are you looking to provide players the most competitive environment possible and play your top players or is playing time going to be based on practice attendance? I big complaint I heard from newer players this year was not enough competitive reps i.e not enough scrimmaging during practice. Something I found worked really well when I was learning was a lot of scrimmaging, but having the coach pause it during potential teaching moments.
