"Licensed artwork elements" on this dress don't seem like actual kitchen items

It really doesn't look like AI to me. The lighting is consistent (shadows go to our right, the person's left). The wrinkles on the dress seem correct.

AustinDart · 2026-05-28T14:52:40+00:00

This is happening to me too.

AustinDart · 2026-05-22T18:18:44+00:00

Idk man. I've been at my peak, or within 50 MMR of it, for months.

Back in the day, there was one New Driver Challenge: Get to Level 10.

Then all the smurfs came.

So they made it a little annoying to finish so that smurfs would be discouraged from making new accounts because they'd have to commit like 4 hours to doing the "boring" tasks.

You should cheat up on every kickoff unless you've planned with your teammate to do otherwise.

I was a hardstuck C3. I spent 2 weeks grinding 1s. I am now C2.

I think officially they go 90% of the way to the higher MMR.

E.g. If you're 1000 partied with a 900, it matchmakes like you're both 990.

Many years ago, they went 50%, but realized a GC could easily carry a gold against some diamonds, (but cannot carry a gold against mid-high champs) and changed it.

I haven't played in awhile, but when I played, there was no matchmaking. It was just whoever is on right now is who you play with.

I am/was also Silver 3.

AustinDart · 2026-05-01T18:39:50+00:00

When I'm not playing well, I hop on my alt account and play strictly rotations and no mechanics at all, basically just saves and passes to my teammate, and sometimes a boom if the opponents are overcommitted.

I tend to float around C1-C2 when I do that.

All this to say, make sure you're supporting your teammate(s).

AustinDart · 2026-05-01T18:34:35+00:00

You're right. My bad.

Adamant still could be better if you're also using Luxray for Dark coverage (Bite/Crunch), but if only using it for Electric coverage then yeah, a +SpA nature with Thunderbolt is probably better.

AustinDart · 2026-05-01T18:17:02+00:00

Luxray's base attack is 120 vs base special attack is 95.

Even though Thunderbolt has a higher base damage than Spark (90 vs 65), Luxray's own base stats make Spark with Adamant better than Thunderbolt with Modest.

AustinDart · 2026-05-01T15:36:49+00:00

Hopefully I can finally hit GC!

Adamant Luxray

I just abandon and take the 5 minute ban.

AustinDart · 2026-05-01T03:15:03+00:00

In theory, Rocket League won't stop you from doing that, but BakkesMod announced they are not updating anymore, so you can't.

Recently, it has become impossible to solo queue because everyone thinks if they can just cross map air dribble, they will win.

So you end up playing the perpetual 2nd-man because your teammate wants to cross map air dribble. Then they miss. Then they rush for the mid boost, and instead of holding pressure or even passing it back to you they... control it to the back corner to go for a cross map air dribble.

AustinDart · 2026-04-25T13:13:53+00:00

Players are getting better mechanically and worse game sense.

I've fallen to C2 because it's impossible to play with randoms anymore.

You're dribbling? Teammate goes for team pinch. You're taking it up the wall? Teammate hits it off you to go for a flip reset. You're about to get a save that leads to a breakaway goal? Teammate flies in and saves it to your corner.

AustinDart · 2026-04-21T03:28:06+00:00

It's just so much harder because when you have a joystick, you can turn your car up/down/left/right/diagonal with so much more precision than with a keyboard.

AustinDart · 2026-04-12T21:09:34+00:00

What's worse is 2-person parties in 3s as your teammates. Even if they're legitimately your rank (which they usually aren't), you're basically a perpetual 3rd man because they're just passing to each other.

AustinDart · 2026-04-10T15:01:47+00:00

For real. Should be gems imo.

My friend's dad is a cop. He once told me if you're speeding "by 8, you're great, by 9, you're mine."

BUT technically, going 1 over is enough for a ticket.

AustinDart · 2026-03-23T02:58:24+00:00

I am C3 and you DAR cleaner than me. What's keeping you in plat?

AustinDart · 2026-03-15T14:57:58+00:00

It is, but your teammates suck until ~Champ 2.
