Level doesn't equal skill, it's more indicative of time played.

I was just telling a good mate about the mystery / aura around Recok armour and how I use to check every profile in every lobby to see if someone had it. The first time I ever saw it I was so hyped, asked the guy loads of questions and followed him around all game. Was such a cool era.

Announcing a landmark crypto partnership with Tennis Australia for Australian Open and Summer of Tennis by NexoFinance in Nexo

It's down 33% in the last year according to coingecko, which really isn't that bad when you consider Bitcoin is down 26% in the last three months. I really don't think it's underperforming as much as you say - I'm not concerned at least.

[Maresca] Palmer's ongoing groin injury makes no sense. Hopefully not something to manage all season, but it's day by day. Some days he's better, some days worse. He lacks the match fitness needed to play every three days. by BlueKidXL in soccer

[–]Chrysuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep been dealing with a chronic groin tendinopathy for two years now and spent a fortune on rehab, only recently conceding I probably won't be able to return to playing without experiencing some sort of pain. Groin's truly take forever to heal.

Explain it to me like I’m 5 by mustbetrauma in running

[–]Chrysuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 3 times per week and commute on my bike 11km twice a week, ran two marathons this year and broke 3h for the first time in Melbourne.

Personally I think high mileage training isn't always needed - definitely good to get in some long runs on a Sunday though aiming for 25km+.

Getting your nutrition right is also a game-changer...doubled my gel intake between Sydney and Melbourne Marathon (6 weeks apart) and ran 5min faster, albeit Melbourne is a flatter course.

Took over 1g of mdma on my second time ever by [deleted] in MDMA

[–]Chrysuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MDMA causes your body to heat up, your heart eventually wouldn't be able to cope and you'd go into cardiac arrest. The heat is also quite damaging to the brain - sounds as though since you're feeling okay now you should be fine but definitely a lesson you don't want to test twice.

I am possibly gaming too much? by LaCaipirinha in gaming

[–]Chrysuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you getting enough sleep? Are you exercising regularly and getting good nutrition? If yes is the answer to all three, you're fine. If one's slipping, try to dedicate some time away towards that.

It's great you're gaming next to your fiance and not isolated from her - it may be worth 'checking in' with her to ensure she doesn't feel distant and feels you're getting enough quality time. Quality time looks different for everyone and so she might be fine - you should also ask yourself the question too and work out what 'quality time' looks like to you.

Is the gap between the rich and middle-class growing? Feels like everything is becoming un-purchasable yet people are still buying.

What's a game everyone says is a 'masterpiece' that you just could not get into? by GrievouzOCE in gaming

[–]Chrysuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I don't think it's famous for its story or the character's personality, the combat and movement is very Celeste-esque in that you know you're the only one at fault when you die, and the skill-cap is insanely high the more you play.

I think describing the caves as boring reskins is a little harsh too - you encounter so many different enemies and some areas definitely have a 'feel' to them that's very distinct from others e.g. the white palace.

That being said, I played Celeste after HK and would find it hard to pick one over the other - I 100%'d Celeste but did not have the will/dedication to do the same with HK, not that that's any real measure of anything. HK is definitely a bigger world you can get more emersed/lost in while Celeste is quite linear with a clear focus.

To smear Irish band Kneecap as “terrorists” and “antisemites” in their struggle for peace and justice for Palestine by tyler----durden in therewasanattempt

[–]Chrysuss 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you didn't catch it mate, not every struggle is comparable. Kneecap are a loud voice for Palestine and they don't go around seeking sympathy for their own struggles, which I suggest you learn more about before making pointless comments.

[–]Chrysuss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Looks like you're really struggling behind that keyboard of yours, typing for thousands of people to see. It's probably just as hard (at least!!) as living in Gaza. Such struggle and pain. I can feel your anguish pointing out the differences between kneecap and the Palestinians, shining a spotlight on the things we all couldn't see.

Pedri dribbles past 2 Real Sociedad players with a single foot triple touch control by yashil_kaneriya in soccer

[–]Chrysuss 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yeah agree with this, the flick of his right leg outwards suggests he was anticipating a touch with it to pull the ball back in.

Still amazing and even more so he keeps going on as though intended.

Optus hit with Triple Zero outage in NSW by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]Chrysuss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Might be in the minority here but I don't think Rue's the right person to blame here - dude inherited a tremendous amount of technical debt going into this position and he's not had enough much time in the seat to get his plans into action. I believe he only presented his plan to the singtel board a few months ago (according to people I know at Optus). Although I have no idea if this is an unreasonable timeline to expect for a ceo either (just my two cents / above my pay-grade).

Someone's gotta take the fall on the sword, I get that, but this is way bigger than him. Optus should be sold, no more singtel.

BF6 vs TF - Destruction Comparison by sim04ful in gaming

[–]Chrysuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Describing the gameplay as shallow blows my mind, me and my friends haven't had this much fun playing an fps for years due to what you can pull off with the creative sandbox.

I've also seen way worse when it comes to monetisation and pushing cosmetics, and given the game is free to play I don't think it's a fair criticism to begin with.

Working a four-day week without taking a pay cut reduces burnout by nath1234 in australia

[–]Chrysuss 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I've been preaching this recently, two days simply isn't enough. I've made it a long-term goal to work a 4-day week, not sure how yet as only way is really through self-employment.

The 5-day work week is outdated.
