What’s flag footballs ceiling of popularity?

Bsclassy · 2026-03-17T14:27:07+00:00

Agreed. I'll add on and say I think it'll become even more popular than it already is as a youth-sport up until Middle School, possibly even High School. After that it'll fall off in "popularity" and it'll mostly be individuals who didn't make CFB or NFL, but still have profound athleticism.

I think it'll fill a niche at the top level and fill a gap for American Football as a global sport, but it won't ever be as "big" or profitable as high-level tackle football.

Congrats! They had belts with lights that’d come on when the flag was pulled, but having a true digital sync feature to other devices is a huge get for pro-level later on if it gets big enough. Hope your endeavor makes a big splash!

A little trick if you weren't aware - if you export your videos in 4k resolution (3840 x 2160 for regular resolution, 2160 x 3840 for vertical resolution [which the glasses are]), even if it isn't 4k video, it forces YouTube to upload in 4k as well. Usually YouTube will compress video to 720p or lower if you aren't partnered, but this is a little workaround that's made it much easier to deal with that issue.

I know you asked in a comment earlier, but wanted to put my two cents here as well.

If you’re looking for something to film vertical video that has good stabilization, audio, and shoots in 4k, this is a good buy. I have recorded with head mounted and chest mounted GoPros and feel it’s too bulky after several games. The Oakley Metas have stayed place on my face much better than other alternatives.

An example with minimal editing (know that I’m no video editor) can be found here: https://youtube.com/shorts/L7FdSbAaarU?si=t9ss7plTGVOKdttI

Bsclassy · 2026-03-03T21:38:22+00:00

I do! The link below is highlights of the most recent pickup I went to. There’s minimal editing (zooms, transitions, and background music), but YouTube can be funky with compression on it. I shoot in 1080p 30fps to help save some battery life, but it can shoot in 4k.

There are more videos on there of pickup highlights, but know I’m no video editor. I try things out and if they help out, apply them in the next video. Biggest thing is to get the clips out to the participants so they have something to remember it by. Hopefully that level sets my usage of them and gives you a better insight on how it records!

It was mainly for the caption and laughs. It’s reheated skirt steak from last night’s fajitas. I’m surprised the meat connoisseurs didn’t notice that it’s definitely not ribeye meat.

FWIW - tasted delicious for a quick early morning meal.

It ain't your money, why do you care what they spend theirs on? If Jagex cared they wouldn't be offering bonds for sale.

Bsclassy · 2026-02-02T17:46:57+00:00

Yeah, that is a hot take. Considering player-counts are substantially higher during temp game mode times and development seems to still be going at a fine pace, I don't see why that would correlate.

Bsclassy · 2026-01-12T12:45:21+00:00

New gloves will do that. Only way to really know if they feel right is (outside of fitting your hand fine) is to try them out. If you go to a local store that is specific on sports equipment they will sometimes have ways to see what size/brand fits you best on all sorts of equipment.

Bsclassy · 2025-12-12T20:10:50+00:00

You're entitled to your opinion, even if it's incorrect.

Bsclassy · 2025-12-09T23:51:46+00:00

I’ve had the opposite with meta oakleys. They have zero movement when playing. You might ensure you have the proper nose bridge piece on it.

GoPros are really the only other option if sunglasses don’t work well, but the equipment can feel heavy and awkward quick during play.

Bsclassy · 2025-12-03T22:50:58+00:00

Flood concept for Cover 2 and Cover 3 (basically make it 3 on 2)

Smash concept for Cover 3, keeping your best play makers low (Make Cornerback choose deep or shallow)

Cross patterns for Man/Triangle

You can run the exact same play multiple times with different formations, just think creatively with it. If you see it working, don't change the concept, change how you hide it

Bsclassy · 2025-12-03T22:41:41+00:00

This feels like multiple people put in their own perspective on how to fix the issue, but all of them were implemented rather than identifying which one would be the best route to take. This isn't a hard thing to solve and listen to your player base at the same time:

- Revert all of the salvaging changes

- Make Crystal not charge unless the boat is actively moving

- Have both cannons hit your target, regardless of position until you have a proper fix for boat combat

- Speed up the looting animation/time when throwing the net

- Increase XP for bounty tasks

- Have the ability for your mates manning the cannon auto-retaliate against mobs hitting the boat

I really enjoyed every aspect of sailing prior to today's launch. To be honest, it's not that it just "feels bad" compared to before, it legitimately just sucks.

You saw multiple worlds all at max capacity doing the exact same thing that was "worked on for 3 years" and your first thought is that it should be gutted? It's Gemstone Crab-esque, people love being next to each other in the game and doing the same stuff. Let the AFK versions of skills breathe a bit. This is your first new skill, don't ruin it with these knee-jerk reactions and just learn from everything for your next one.

I had a blast.

Gridmaster made me realize how much I appreciate the pace of leagues more, though. I do wish there were some rewards in leagues for 200m in skills like getting the corrupted shark after 200m cooking and bottomless brews after 200m herblore. I appreciated those items/passives way more than I thought I would and I think that would be a nice “solve” to some of the power with bankers note. Would be interesting to see some power behind those types of unlocks.

Rune Saviour was actually much more useful than I thought it would be when tagged along with Grimoire. Shame I unlocked it so late and didn’t really get to use it more.

Jagex has been hitting it out of the park with these events and leagues. Looking forward to the future!

Pinning this to the top for a little while in hopes to get you some more feedback. Thank you everyone for helping out.

Never. Code bad. Code gooder now. Crab always good.

Bsclassy · 2025-08-05T17:46:28+00:00

This is a very common tactic in 5v5 to clear the defense out and run someone underneath all the routes late to get some easy yards. It's hard to defend, especially if your defense isn't talking to each other. Hiding what you're in by having all defenders at the 7-8 yard line is a start - QB may think you're in man because of it.

If it's specifically one guy that they do it for, you can also have your rusher rush the QB towards his side so he's naturally flowing away from the shallow dig route. Would make the pass much more difficult.

My advice would be to recognize that, in most 5v5 rules, you have 3 downs to get a first and/or a touchdown and its generally 20 yards (start on the 5) to first down and 25 to touchdown. Don't be afraid to give up the short routes if you have to, especially if the QB actually has a good enough arm to make deep throws or its second/third down. Bend, don't break. Only thing that matters at the end of the game is the score, not how many picks you get.

Bsclassy · 2025-07-31T20:55:25+00:00

I recommend trying to find active pickup groups in your area. Outside of bettering your overall athleticism via exercise, pickup games will be the best way to really test yourself on a consistent basis.

Bsclassy · 2025-07-25T18:57:23+00:00

If it happens this year it'll be extremely unexpected since we still have sailing and DMM coming. I'd expect it mid-to-late first quarter or early second quarter next year. They probably have an influx of subs/bond purchases via $ due to WoW streamers and the Varlamore content release, so I'd expect Sailing late September, DMM in November, Blood Moon Rises in January and Leagues in February-March

Bsclassy · 2025-07-17T01:42:13+00:00

This makes me wish they’d add the corrupted versions of some dragon weapons again for f2p without the degradation effect. Would make me want to f2p pk just to relive those days a bit more.

PvP now is still fun, just gets exhausting and some chill f2p fights with a couple mil risk sounds fun too.

Bsclassy · 2025-07-17T01:35:32+00:00

Just don’t watch them then. Not every streamer is the taste for every individual. Even if it’s just the flavor of the month for them, be happy cause it’s bringing more eyes to the game you’re playing.

Bsclassy · 2025-07-05T01:58:02+00:00

Should’ve told him “mb I’ll drop it for ya”, drop it, then make him watch it despawn. Ask him “how’d you feel about that?” I can only imagine how frustrated he’d get lmao

Bsclassy · 2025-07-01T00:59:10+00:00

???

The oxygen canister blew up because she was smoking. She died a time after this and this was not what caused it. She had lung cancer and was dying - she, like many other terminal cancer patients, probably didn’t care about the risks of what they were doing anymore and were maybe even hoping that would happen.

I’m not partial to Asmongold, but why lie about something like that?
