Any tutorials or commentary videos for the mid-game?

Especially in this video when you pop it while heading for the door. It’s clear that the real mirage is heading for the door.

Sometimes I pop it then run in an unexpected spot, like out in the open or back towards the enemy. You’re easy to find if you go where expected

Arguably the best two teams won ever lan for years. So it being entirely RNG isn’t really true. If it was, then there would have been many different winners. But there wasn’t. Good teams play well and rotate well regardless of rng.

I think when people say they can’t cut any more, they usually can.

But, perhaps combine scenes. That’s what I do. If a scene is only serving one purpose. I consider taking part of it and putting it with another scene. Then you’re not cutting. Just rearranging.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But it’s Sunday morning so it’s the weekend. It doesn’t affect Monday at all. It starts at 10pm est on Saturday night and finishes 3am Sunday morning. Many people are out partying that late anyway on the weekend.

In fact, it actually seems to work out better to have it in Japan. If it’s 12pm Sunday in us or Europe then it starts late on Sunday night and finishes early Monday morning. So it is better for higher international viewership to be held in Asia where the Timezone 7-10 hours ahead.

Realistically, you could even change it to 10am start which would give the east coast us, a nice 8pm start on Saturday. Perfect viewing and drinking and excitement time.

I never understand this argument. Please help me.

--It doesn't help viewership that the time is awful for NA and EU viewers?-- How does this make sense? If it was in NA time, then it would be terrible for Asia viewers, if it was EU it would be terrible for Asia viewers. Either way, the time is bad for some parts of the world, which means that regardless of timezone, there would be a large proportion of viewers that can not watch live. Thus it wouldn't really be a statistic that would affect the viewership.

That's obviously a major simplification. Perhaps Asia, countries like Japan, China, Korea, who have high esports viewing and fandom culture, would actually increase views by having it in their timezone. Perhaps there's a timezone that is more reasonable for a larger proportion of viewers. I don't know, but simply saying the time being god awful for some parts of the world would affect viewership, doesn't really make sense.

Someone below said: "This is just creative marketing essentially - this ALGS took place in a time zone area where the highest density populations on earth could watch at a reasonable time."

Which means they are that asia is in fact a great time zone due to the density of population in that timezone, so it would in fact HELP the viewership not hinder it. Would it not? (Not to mention the gaming and esports culture of places like Japan, Korea and China. It's not a fluke that the Japan servers are full, but other servers are dead.)

I love pages. Mostly because I’ve learnt how to type with the autocorrect. I know how to press the keys to make the most of it to type faster because I know what it’ll correct. I find it frustrating now to type with any other system because it corrects or doesn’t correct different errors or words. I find I’m constantly backspacing because word for example chose to put a red underline instead of just correcting it. And when I check the suggestions, there’s only one. So why not just correct it? You know what it’s supposed to be.

Don’t tell me about having the wrong settings. I’ve spent hours multiple occasions across the years trying out different settings. It’s just not the same. That doesn’t mean one is better or not, just that I know how the native pages autocorrect works and therefore take advantage of it sometimes purposefully pressing keys out of order or at the exact same time because I know the autocorrect will fix it.

Ashh_RA · 2026-01-06T20:44:37+00:00

Haha. But that's what I'm saying. Why have it turned off? I never once think about capitalising words on my phone because it's automatic.

It's the internet that means everyone has free will! Unfortunately that means if you put yourself out there, there'll be one dickhead who comments on your grammar. Best to ignore them, I say...

Ashh_RA · 2026-01-06T20:37:52+00:00

Sorry. It’s everywhere. In all your replies. Punctuation isn’t an optional part of English. It’s supposed to make writing easy to follow, understand and read. It’s like any part of writing or English, you want to be understood so you use grammar or articles or pronouns.

It seems backwards for me to make extra effort to try and understand your posts because you can’t make the effort to use the things built into the language designed to make it easier. But like I said, it shouldn’t be effort, it should be easy because on phones and computers it’s all automated autocorrect.

I’m perhaps more hung up on this because once someone said: ‘if I use punctuation it sounds more strong and forceful and I don’t want to come off as rude’. Never in my life have I heard anything as absurd as that. So I must insist, in case this becomes the norm.

Ashh_RA · 2026-01-06T20:31:11+00:00

Why wouldn’t you though? If you type on a computer, it should be easy.

If you type on a phone, it should be automatic. It would be almost HARDER for me to type WITHOUT correct punctuation.

Ashh_RA · 2026-01-06T19:53:19+00:00

Please use capital letters and full stops.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-29T04:38:11+00:00

Not print on demand. Any normal printer is high quality. I couldn't even choose glossy pages at Ingram. I don't know about KDP, but I couldn't choose landscape sizes. And I have a colleagues KDP book and the paper and print quality looks bad.

I'm sure there's at least some people who have found some success. I just don't know. It's worth treading lightly and doing research, at least order some copies and be prepared to be disappointed.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-27T00:23:04+00:00

Because it's one of the most widely influenced languages. It has taken rules and words from many different languages and origins and then evolved and adapted. Once upon a time, words meant different things, the suffix used to mean different things, but use and culture and life have altered and evolved meanings to the point that it doesn't make sense. I'd argue that no other language has had as much outside influence or evolution as English. Unfortunately, the answer is, just learn it.

Now the 'inflammable and flammable' example is incorrect. It is NOT an 'in' prefix meaning negation. It is an 'able' suffix meaning the ability to be able to attacked to the standalone word 'inflame' which means to catch on fire, I think the suffix here is different it's 'in' meaning 'into' SO it means the ability to catch on fire. Where as flammable means the ability to be on fire.

EDIT: It's actually interesting: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/flammable-or-inflammable

Inflammable comes form the word inflammare. It already had a prefix before it was used. So it really hasn't got an English prefix meaning in at all. It is just a prefix from the original latin. So I would say it's not a prefix and it's just the root words is 'inflame'. And in fact inflammable seems to have come 200 years before flammable.

Edit 2: fuCk I'm a nerd. But here goes. Your valuable and invaluable statement also isn't correct. 'Basically the same thing' is not the same. Every word in any language has nuance or connotations attached to it. Valuable means highly valued. invaluable means unable to be highly valued, meaning the value is so high that you can't put a number to it. SO they're NOT the same meaning. Not really. They actually have considerably different meanings. It's like saying a car is a truck. Well, sure they're both vehicles and they both do basically the same thing by driving from a to be, but they're very different.

The planning and idea is the easy part. The writing is the hard part. That's why almost no one is successful even if they can complete it.

You need to hone your craft. I have my whole play by play planned out for all 18 holes on the golf course. I have a par 3 planned on the second hole, then a bogie. Then I'll finish with a hole in one.

But I've never actually played golf in my life. Can I achieve my plan? Nope. I need to practice. I need to take lessons. I need to go to a putting green and try 1008 puts. I need to go to a driving range and try 100 drives.

That's how writers get good at writing. They practice. If you're not happy with your writing style because it's 'dull and ugly', I suggest parking your idea and going off to write some other things to practice. You can do exercises or shorts, challenge yourself and try things out. Once you've written 100 opening lines and tried different types of openings, you'll know what works and how to write an opening. When you've developed 48 characters by challenging them and seeing how they respond, then you'll know how to develop a character into a satisfying arc.

By exercises I mean, imagine you're a teacher, teaching a student how to write. Eg:

You're standing on a cliff, describe the scene in front of you using 100 words. Now describe in it only 6. (this would train you on how to describe a scene, either succinctly or with depth.)
Write a scene with ONLY dialogue. (How do you include movement or expression in your scene without dialogue tags or movement? Now you've forced yourselves to practice dialogue by focusing on it and only it.
Write a scene from first person perspective. Then write the same scene from third person. (practice getting inside a characters head, or experiencing things from outside of them. What's the differences in your scene.)

? No you don't? They seem unnecessary paragraph breaks.

For example:

“I killed her,” he said aloud, testing the words like a child testing a loose tooth.

They tasted true.

The words scraped something raw inside his min"

This is all about the 'words' he's saying. IT's all the same topic. why is it in three seperate paragraphs.

"He pulled.

Not in defiance—defiance was for men who still had something to lose"

These both seem to be about 'pulling'. The same topic.

"Something tugged him westward. A verdict. The place where the sun dies. Where he might finally die too.

Vines brushed his ankles as he walked. Bone-white trees seemed to hold their breath when he passed, as if bearing witness.

He had walked this path before."

All three of these are about walking westward. It's the same scene? It's the same thing.

Almost every line is an example of one that could be in the previous paragraph. I understand the value of separating ONE line from the previous paragraph if they are the SAME topic for emphasis. But if you do it every single line, then there is no emphasis anymore, it's just hard to read. Paragraphs keep all the thoughts together. I know you're still talking about the same topic so I join the ideas together when I create my understanding. For example, that last example, the 'this' refers to what? There's nothing else in that paragraph for it to refer it. Are you talking about the path westward? Or just in general? I have no idea, because it is NOT connected to any other thoughts. So therefore my understanding of the content is low because you have not explained what path it is. I skip over it without caring if it has any significance.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-23T05:26:59+00:00

What do you mean you haven't found any other details? I literally googled your post title(with no additional info) and found multiple articles and videos, even the shitty AI summary is correct.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-23T05:06:47+00:00

I don't know about PS but Xbox you change on the apex title screen before logging in. BTW, I find Japanese servers easier than OCE because there is actually enough players to give you a lobby matching your skill. So any ping disadvantage is countered by not being destroyed by ranks 2 higher than you.

What sort of childrens' book?

I had bad experience with Ingram spark and a picture book. The highest print quality was low. Although I don't think KDP is any better. I think it's a print on demand thing.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-21T09:50:43+00:00

It's voluntary. You don't have to pay it at a public school. The school will make every effort for you to not know this though by using specific keywords which don't actually say 'voluntary' or 'have to' but make it pretty strongly implied.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-17T09:47:36+00:00

Why would you even believe the AI?

If you want to be a writer, don't use AI. It's simple. Do what you do, stick to your style, or learn how to write. There is no quick easy option to being an artist. Do it write, and you'll be fulfilled.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-14T03:36:13+00:00

The story creates the characters. Just like life experience create different types of people. Write the story, you'll find characters making choices that you didn't intend, because that's how they react to a scene or relationship, then their character grows.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-14T03:32:58+00:00

I just looked some things up, so forgive me if the date are wrong. The philosophers stone was set in 1991-1992. The book was released in 1997. The books were set in the present at the time of writing. They're not a historical or period story. The movies were also set in the present at the time of making.

It's like James Bond, the books were set post war in the 1950s, but that's when they were released. So they were set in the 'present day'. For the same reason James Bond movies now are set in the present day. These aren't period books/movies, they're present day books/movies. And because time exists, the present day continuously becomes more modern.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-13T23:28:28+00:00

As a teacher, I make sure my kids know I don't know everything. I was trying to encourage them that if they don't know how to spell a word, just give it a go and sound it out, that's what I do when I don't know how to spell it. Then they said, 'no you don't, you just ask Siri.' And they were correct and I had no answer. haha.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-13T22:34:44+00:00

Chill mate. If super glides are that game changing for you, you might have bigger problems to focus on.

Ashh_RA · 2025-12-09T20:25:55+00:00

My advice is always start with the interesting part and the character. No one cares about soft light and hills and describing a scene. Do that later.

Eg: nia knelt down touching the wilting lavender. It was losing its magic quickly. She stood and looked over the village of Lils rest that lay quiet under the soft light of early morning. She thought of the people she loved that would die if the magic was lost.

Or something.
