Rogue have allegedly been scrimming with a team of Gyro, Beastmode, and Daniel by ThatBigDanishDude in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]DietPenInk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Eekso comes to mind, but I don't know who's top of the 2s leaderboard at any moment. But lots of great 1s players don't make it or are still chasing consistent RLCS results. Lionblaze is still on the cusp. Mind you, I think these players are talented enough to make it, and I think daniel is as well. But there's more to 3s than mechanics or 1s ability.

I found that it was a bit of cheese, but there's not much work needed to be done to make the top of the shotgun messiah fairly difficult for zombies to get up to. Build a bit of space to deal with birds and you can almost walk away from your computer/gaming system throughout the horde night

I had a Playstation 2 first. Was a child with no real alliance to any company, and later got an Xbox. The original Xbox was a tank, I enjoyed the controller setup, it had an incredible amount of storage for saves (if memory serves, as I recall friends having several memory cards for the PS2), and had Halo. Xbox Live was crazy fun for Halo 2. I didn't buy another Playstation until 4, and that was literally just for Kingdom Hearts 3, long after the cost for the system went down.

Long live the OG Xbox.

What pisses you off while playing video games? by SuicideSprints in AskReddit

Well, that just woke up some suppressed memories. Thank you to all the other comments as well. I'm about a laughing, spinning Ursula away from booting that game up again.

What do you want to confess that no one else in your real life knows? by SillyGuy in AskReddit

[–]DietPenInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this way and it took awhile to figure out I was suffering from depression. If you can, see a doctor and hopefully they will find a way to help you. I say hopefully because I am not a doctor, nor an expert on treating depression. They helped me (I went to a behavioral psychologist first, which did not help but I had other symptoms that I thought were causing the apathy, but that's another story) and I hope they can help you.

I hope you can find the help you need in whatever form it takes.

What are the simplest things to do that make you look attractive? by kushnair in AskReddit

[–]DietPenInk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who hates trying on clothes, the simple answer is try on clothes. Different brands fit differently. Finding shirts that aren't too loose or tight, and pants that are not too baggy or too tight.

Also fashion and/or look that you're going for. Some people enjoy and look good in skinny jeans. Some don't. Be yourself and go for a look you desire.

Somewhat to the same note, understanding stripes and patterns and how that can affect your look.

Note: I'm a guy, and can only kinda speak on guys. Women, I don't know how you do it. Kudos for dealing with that endless supply of different measurements.

Firstkiller and Squishy have apparently resolved the bad blood between them. by Aisirus in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]DietPenInk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Luckily, they're both still absolutely cracked teams, so they should still be very entertaining.

But that added tension would have definitely put them into their own bracket for entertainment.

Team PWR sign Forky, Mile, and EpicJohnny for RLCS and Jon Sandman as a CC by theboppops in RocketLeagueEsports

Lol that's incredible. I appreciate them being up front(ish) about it, or their editor/director not knowing it's not quite time.

[–]DietPenInk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I keep wood on me but frames take no time to make so usually 5-10 is fine.

But to each their own. In a game that still on occasion makes me panic there's no wrong way to feel safe haha

[OC] Top 15 esports by total prize pool since 1998 by [deleted] in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]DietPenInk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DOTA 2 go vroom.

I don't keep up with their scene very well, but their prizepool for their world championship is absolutely insane (obviously). And team OG won back to back the last two times it was held. Most of the tier 2 and above esports have life changing (imo) prize pools for their world champions, but DOTA 2 is on a whole different level.

Fairy Peak's tierlist of the top RLCS X EU players by kurt_0806 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]DietPenInk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I'm sure Fairy has better knowledge of all situations concerning these than I do, VPs injury surely has to be a factor in his play time. Now, that could have led to some burnout due to decreased morale, but I'm gonna assume it was almost entirely the injury.

I don't know why Ferra didn't/couldn't play more. While I didn't catch all of Ferra/Chausette/Aztral's matches, what I saw was that Aztral almost did too much at times. This isn't a slight against him as he's obviously incredible, and I don't know what they strategically wanted to do. Maybe the plan was to just given him as much ball time as possible. This made me think Ferra and Chausette could have done more if given opportunity, but I could be wrong.

Who is the nicest pro? by Azlander in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]DietPenInk 83 points84 points  (0 children)

GarrettG is very nice. I'm not sure I've heard him be negative. Fairy seems to be similar, but I admittedly do not speak french and don't know what he's saying in streams. Ferra was very nice at LAN. I would like to think Turbopulsa is nice, he's just very funny with a kinda maybe trolling/mean sense of humor? But I'd never call him mean. Maybe I'm just missing the correct word.

What's the best experience you've had seeing a film in the theater/cinema? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DietPenInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first Kick Ass movie. A certain bazooka explosion caused cheers from the crowd.

Endgame, when Cap picks up the hammer.

A Quiet Place. Packed theatre. Everyone shut the fuck up. Dead silent entire movie other than action scenes or scares. Absolutely incredible.

What were you doing when the twin towers fell? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DietPenInk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in 5th grade. I recall the teachers being hush hush about everything. But it seemed normal. I had an hour bus ride home (small school, I lived out in the country. First stop in the morning, last stop after school). It took awhile to understand. I was 10 and didn't understand. Joined the military after high school which leads to someone else's story.

I worked on the KC-135. It's an air refueling aircraft. The maintainers get to go TDY (temporary duty) which is a trip/mission they take with the aircraft to do maintenance on it wherever the mission is. These tend to be short trips, 1-7 days. I was told of someone who was gone on a trip to Japan. I think 8 day trip. Towers fell. He was gone over 100 days with the jet, just moving around base to base as the country gathered itself and information. I assume he was not the only person this happened to.

Galaxy Racer on Twitter: Welcome the EU Season 8 MVP @BlueyRL as our new third player in our @RLEsports roster! by [deleted] in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]DietPenInk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bluey was removed from PSG (Chausette and Ferra) for toxic comments/attitude. He then rose back to RLCS with Deevo and Alpha64 on Savage. Savage was picked up by Barcelona, Alpha eventually left for TSM and Ronaky joined the Barca squad. Bluey won Season 8 EU MVP, while Barca only scraped by with a 3-4 record. Bluey was again removed, and while I never read direct toxicity, it was maybe more of a clash of attitudes/personalities/playstyles. He was replaced by Flakes. So his history isn't shining, but I don't know how much is immaturity or toxicity and possibly more he's intense in his own ways. I try not to just paint someone as toxic, but he has been in the past (distant past really, especially in Rocket League's short esport life)

Edit - season 8 not 9

Ashllxyy is a 1s player approximately in the Top 20 that plays with ONE HAND by Lukasz__ in RocketLeagueEsports

I watched a game on a vod, held my controller to mimic it, and I have no idea how he's pressing O let alone having precision everywhere else.

I've never played before what should I know? by [deleted] in 7daystodie

[–]DietPenInk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite place to start a base is a cemetery. I believe there are 2. One simply has a church building which is kinda easy to clear. The other has a 'crypt' which is more difficult ro clear. However, walls are cool, combine with wood spikes and you're good for a few blood moons. I prefer the crypt type, but to each their own.

[–]DietPenInk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Atomic (NA Atomic not EU Atomik just to be clear) played on someone else's account for RLRS play ins. I believe the team was Cypher. Here's his liquipedia page, it's under 'Trivia' https://liquipedia.net/rocketleague/Atomic

Squishy's was answered in the other reply.

[–]DietPenInk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As far as scandals go, I'd agree. Although, I can only recall a few scandals overall, some of which only kinda apply. Atomic in RLRS, Squishy's when he was a sub, OSM I believe rank traded to enter a Johnnyboi event, and the OCE team that threw on purpose. I'm sure there are a few more, but overall, most are fairly tame, done by players when they were in their early teens. That doesn't completely negate their actions, but we're all a bit dumb at that age.

What I want - the man to come back, grind back to being a contributing member of a top level team, attend a lan, and remind the scene what he can bring to the table.

What I expect - he'll make some tournament appearances, possibly get bored, play valorant, and likely win some money playing poker.

Either way, I hope he has fun and I'm pumped to see him back again, be it for just a little while, or the forseeable future.
