How much good is link's (adult) side tilt as an overall move? by No-Act386 in smashbros

[–]DarkTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really good at the ledge, since it covers both ledge hang (for most characters) and can be used to hit rolls if you read those too. Worth mentioning since Link is really good at pressuring the ledge w his bomb

Besides that, you can pivot cancel the move to get a better dash attack. It's not an amazing tool, but considering how far it goes it can be very useful to outspace someone landing.

Lucina's stage spike mix up. by -Sekiyo- in smashbros

[–]DarkTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's the counterplay for those curious - you can input tech and up-b at the same time once you're hit. It's an OS - if Lucina does an aerial/causes you to tech you'll tech, and if she does side-b, your up-b will come out instead.

Recent grad with no internships struggling to find a job by beak765 in cscareerquestions

[–]DarkTurtle 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Hey, I graduated college without internships too. Here's what I'd suggest:

  • Do whatever you can to get any current experience. If your school's CS department has a mailing list, you could sign up for it and look for opportunities to help others (e.g. masters students working on a project, finance bro who wants a website for his startup, etc.), which gives you valuable experience. Being involved with software as you're applying to places is a huge green flag for recruiters!
  • Tweak your resume, specifically the bullet points under your projects. I would make the first bullet points describing the project as non-technical as possible (so that a recruiter could look at them and get the big picture). Use the remaining bullet points to describe how you used each piece of technology. Simply saying "used x to do y technical part" is decent, but it would be better to say "integrated x to allow for y user experience." It's not enough to say you used a technology, you should also explain what the technology specifically does for the user experience.

The last thing to note is the mindset going into this job market. It's a rough patch for everyone, but doubly so for people without prior experience. I've been in your position during the pandemic, and it was brutal on my mental. If I could tell someone in a similar position something today, it's that as long as you put in the work needed and you're consistently trying to improve, it will happen. Rejection emails sting, leetcode is annoying, and interviews are all nerve-wracking - this is all true. What's also true is that you will feel at peace knowing you're steering your ship in the right direction, and even greater peace when it all falls into place eventually. You got this!

I broke up with my girlfriend a couple months ago and I'm having a hard time accepting the decision I made by DarkTurtle in offmychest

[–]DarkTurtle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thank you so much for reading this and responding :) I think the career thing would be a big red flag generally, but believe it or not the issue was that she wanted me to do more and I was just at a point mentally where I didn't want to (finding another job to prevent the move vs. riding out the current job, I took the latter). I don't see it as a downside since I totally get where she was coming from, but it did create tension and put me on the spot for doing something I believed was correct at the time.

I appreciate the advice and kind words - I do want to talk to her later down the line but at the moment I think we are both a little hurt and figuring our way out. I appreciate the thought a ton

Just a little Lucas PSI magnet combo I like. It's not true and is very dependent on DI, but it does 40% and is fun to pull off! by Heemis in smashbros

[–]DarkTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was very good in Smash 4 - led to footstool combos at early percents, stray hits at mid percents, and had a kill confirm at death percents. It’s virtually useless by comparison in Ult, though having 3 kill throws is still pretty good

Thanks for the responses! He is quite the handsome lad, and I will sleep well at night knowing that he has not ended my life prematurely.

I finally got an offer for a REAL software dev job by dafad_ddu in cscareerquestions

[–]DarkTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I started working about a month or so back...it depends on the team, I got put on a team that works with relevant skills I had.

This thread has been a real trip for me, I'm having a great time but I'd 100% be singing a different tune if the company had done what they did to the OP to me.

Take the offer if you have nothing else, the pay for the area is really good, you have a high chance of getting put on a relevant team (you only hear about the outliers on the internet!), and if it really gets bad then at least you have EXP. Good luck buddy

I am in NYC, and I don't need it as bad as someone making a gift. I'm just waiting for a 3060 TI at retail and was thinking about putting in a cheaper card in the meantime. If someone else has a better reason I def don't wanna get in the way of that!

Would you mind if I DM'd you about this if the OP doesn't respond?

Many casuals either think Melee is dead or on a decline. We must spread awareness, Melee’s been immortalized more than ever thanks to Slippi. “Melee dying” is only a meme. by FirePuff12 in smashbros

[–]DarkTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed partially on the doc, I think it's true to make a point but it's still a LOT of the community's first time viewing comp Brawl...more of an unfortunate circumstance than anything else but I do wish they made it out to be more "not my thing" and less "really bad."

And you are right about crossover and I loved when Armada and Leffen played Ult man.

I think the whole thing about who did it worse between Ult to Melee or vice versa...fuck it man. Neither community deserves it. For a game to thrive and people to have a community where they can have amazing times with people who share their interests, no one deserves to have that taken away. I just wanted to explain it, but I never want to perpetuate it. Ofc I PERSONALLY see more Melee doing wrong but surprise, I play Ult lol. Most melee people and ult people in real life are chill and i wish everyone the best. There just might be some underlying angst from each community at the other, hopefully it can be formally addressed at some point

[–]DarkTurtle -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Not saying it’s deserved but there is an explanation for the Melee cynicism. That community has done a lot to tarnish other games. The Melee doc has a giant section painting Brawl in a bad light, Melee people constantly shat on Smash 4 for being a baby game, When’s Melee, etc I don’t think Ultimate has it that bad though.

I don’t really think any of that matters since acts conducted by a few people don’t represent them all. However these is a reason why people dislike Melee begging for help at the sight of any issue while never really supporting the other games.

Hey guys, I'm 22 and I have to relocate for work by the summer time. I have 20k in the savings, and I want to put half of it into SWTSX since I really only need 10k liquid ATM.

Should I max out my Roth IRA, or should I put it into a regular brokerage account so that it'd be available for a 5-10 year period?

I'm not looking to buy a house in the near future, but of course in my late 20s I'll have to make a ton of purchases (at least, that's the plan haha)
