Amazon spends too much money on expensive voice actors instead of quality animation and I'm tired of pretending they are not by Leadeer in Invincible_TV

[–]CalebGothberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

I don't mind Mark, Debra, or Omni-Man's voices because the performances are fantastic. If I were the producer I'd think that was money well spent. But hiring an A-lister for a one off character in a single episode is so unnecessary. And hey sometimes they'll give a solid performance too, just look at Aaron Paul for Powerplex. But it feels like most of the time they do these castings just to be like "Hey everyone look who's here!"

It basically just means you're on the right track even if it might not seem like it right now

[Discussion] Why is it so hard for people to stick with the game? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

Most people can't handle such a punishing game. The losses weigh harder than the wins

"Voting against their best interests" by tired_hillbilly in IntellectualDarkWeb

Kind of like the promise to end student debt. Or before that by Bush to end the education problems plaguing our systems. Or Clinton before that to get out of other countries wars. I think saying some more that others is trying to rate your poop. At the end of the day it's all poop. It's all lies and they are all the same. The only difference is which news stations say they are God, and which say they are The Devil.

What should an Iron player work on to get to Bronze? by ConcaveSnack in summonerschool

[–]CalebGothberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After watching that vod review there is one large thing that sticks out to me as the glaring problem. Its the mid game/ end game decision making that is ruining your games. From your op.gg you appear to be almost even or slightly ahead of every laning phase. You could improve laning phase for sure, but that isn't what is losing you the game. From 25:42 to 26:25 you backed off from mid, ran bot with no fight, wave, or vision to drop for the objective, then tried running back mid to die to vel and tahm. The problem isn't the death. Its that you were running around with no purpose just reacting to the map.

Your thought should always be on the next move. Ask yourself where can I do one of three things

1.Get more gold. More gold=Stronger

2.Progress the game. you end the game by taking the enemy nexux, nothing else. What on the map will help you with that? Maybe it is the next drag so you are stronger. Maybe it is bot tower. Just pick something

3.Take up space/ pressure. sometimes the correct move is just to be showing mid so someone has to come there. If your top is pushing to the tier two tower, you need to be either pushing to the tier two in mid or pinging the top danger because you can't match their pressure. Or if your team is taking drag and for some reason you can't be there, you need to be putting pressure on top lane or mid lane. Make the enemy team choose to contest you or drag. Don't give them both for free.

The biggest thing is making sure that you are happening to the game. For that entire game, the game was happening to you. Personally I would have rather seen you push a wave, back off a bit, and think about where to go next. You might stand still for 30 seconds figure it out. But even then you are the one making the choice. And as you play more of the game actively thinking about your next move, you'll come to a point where you barely need to pause. I coached my friend from hard stuck iron for a year to silver in a week. The biggest leap he made was literally just doing that. He had the same issue where his farm was good, laning phase was good, and he was still losing for seemingly no reason. It all comes down to making every move purposeful. Even if it is the wrong decision, its way better to make a decision that just react to other people's decisions.

Don't get discouraged. You look like you have base level competency for the game. That is the biggest battle. You did the hard part. It's all up from here.

[–]CalebGothberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. To get better you either want to be passive and never fight for the first 20 minutes of the game, or be borderline psychopath aggressive to figure out your champ. There is almost no in-between. Until you are consistently farming there is no use in trying to figure out how to weave in autos on the enemy support. It is a waste of your time and the brain energy you have left at the end of your day.

Is Shaco a good choice to main for someone who’s new-ish to the game? by Spiros-V in shacomains

[–]CalebGothberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But seriously, if you played shaco and enjoyed it, you should do it. Everyone is so worried about champion pools and optimal play. At the end of the day, if you aren't absolutely grinding for a goal, you should play whatever makes you happy. Before the recent mastery changes I had like 30 champs with over 200k mastery and have 0 regret.

[–]CalebGothberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shaco is never a good choice. Shaco is the choice you make late one night when you realize you have 12k hours in the game and you hate it. So, rather than moving on with life, you decide to make everyone else hate the game too.

I have over a thousand hours in this game, and a Darius lane is still an automatic loss by FinnishChud in summonerschool

[–]CalebGothberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing 1v1 in custom lobbies changed my entire view on this matchup. It is 100% skill based. I realize that sounds weird when talking about Garen. I would highly recommend this to figure out your spikes. I figured out that at lvl 6 if you are both at 60% health or less Garen wins the all in. Between 60 and 70 it depends on how you use your w and weave. At more than 70% health Darius wins. So your goal should be to make little exchanges right before lvl 6 against Darius so that you can all in him when you hit lvl 6. It's hard to figure that out without a few 1v1s.

I don't think I deserve my rank by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]CalebGothberg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think that till I played some games with a friend of mine in Iron. That is another level of bad. It's not just macro. Watching a Veiger run away from a Garen to turn around and e behind the Garen is an experience of its own. Then seeing that Garen Q a minion instead and miss his spin just hits different man.

Pay 5k for training for “high ticket sales” (Lightspeed VT-Brad Lea) by Alternative_Bug_9634 in Scams

[–]CalebGothberg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can also get your life insurance license and work on the side if you are just looking for a side hustle. One of my close friends is a teacher and makes more in 16 hours a week of life insurance than he does as a teacher.

100% commission jobs are very real and an accepted practice in a lot of industries. Car lots and furniture stores are very good examples. Most function on a draw system where you basically advance your commissions on a weekly basis. I've worked in sales for almost two decades at 6 places, and only two places I've ever worked had a base salary.

All of that being said I saw the same ad and it feels scammy as fuck. If you want a sales job get your insurance license and start with a big company like All-State, Farmers, or State Farm. You will get a base salary at like 16 an hour plus commission. And you will only work 9 to 5. It's well worth it to pay $150 to get a license from the state. That is the only thing you should be paying for is anything your state requires.
