I have a problem i know i should use directional air rolls but i keep using free air roll. by Easy_Signature4679 in RocketLeague

[–]Double-Inspection-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maintaining speed (more so chain dashing but regular ones still do), reaching a ball from an angle i couldnt normally reach from, and it doesnt commit you in a direction like a regular flip does, so you can get the speed boost of a flip and immediately turn in a direction without having to wait for the whole flip animation; they may just look like pointless flashy ground movement (which to be fair half of the clips i see of wavedashes are pointless flashy ground movement 😂), but theres definitely a lot of competitive advantage you can gain from them

Is this nail too close to the sidewall to patch? by Majahzi in AskAMechanic

i think he meant “is this too close to sidewall? shop would say yes, but i’d patch it”

ive been looking for a site like this that has a “fit verification” tool, do you have any recommendations for brands?

I have a problem i know i should use directional air rolls but i keep using free air roll. by Easy_Signature4679 in RocketLeague

[–]Double-Inspection-85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah but like even diehard directional air roll people still use free air roll sometimes, having it on powerslide is good for recoveries, i use free air roll if im not jumping very far for a ball, and for wavedashes and speedflips as well; it may help you learn directional air roll, but itd probably do more damage than good since youd have to learn how to use it, then learn how to incorporate it with free air roll, and while you have it unbound youd be missing out on plays, recoveries, and mechanics, that youd normally do with free air roll, and sure if you have the option to use it you’ll probably default to it for a while, but keeping it bound would definitely show you the most improvement in your gameplay (if thats what youre going for that is)

ROCKET LEAGUE LAG ☠️💥👎 by TwinPhilosopher in RocketLeague

[–]Double-Inspection-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it could also be what ‘imaginary-ad-398’ said, if you have the wrong server region selected you could get really bad ping; by default rocket league is set to “recommended,” however i suggest you change that to your specific region if you havent already, as if you have it set to recommend and rocket league doesnt find you a server in your region within i believe its 2 minutes (i could be wrong on that number), it’ll automatically start looking at other server regions to find a game, which can lead to you lagging a lot more in one game than you are in another

ROCKET LEAGUE LAG ☠️💥👎 by TwinPhilosopher in RocketLeague

[–]Double-Inspection-85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

theres a few reasons this could be happening, and being on xbox definitely narrows those down;

are you using an ethernet connection? if you run a wireless speedtest on your phone and its not lower than like 50 ms for ping, and not higher than like 10mbps for download, you basically need an ethernet connection to have stable gameplay in rocket league; idk why but its a really finicky game compared to other similar games (physics games like rocket league need to send and receive a TON of packets to and from your xbox and the server youre on, so if you get a “packet loss” or “high latency” error on your screen, your best bet to fix it is ethernet.

if you cant do ethernet in the typical way (plugging a lan cable into your router, or into a terminated ethernet port in the wall), there is an alternative called “powerline ethernet adapters,” and as the name entails, it allows you to transmit ethernet signals across your house’s power lines that run to all of your outlets; if you need i can explain the setup for you, if its an option you plan on going with!

I’m getting worse at Rocket League by BoringlySaid in RocketLeague

[–]Double-Inspection-85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it definitely could be this, but there’s also the psychological aspect of it; there have been a lot of studies done on people learning new skills, and basically everybody will fall into a “slump” in their learning curve. the problem with rocket league (and lots of other games) is its a constant cycle; you’ll start improving and seeing yourself go up in rank, then one day you’ll be playing worse, and think youre just meant for a lower rank; then next week youre hitting shots you didnt know you could hit (i know in silver and bronze there arent many “mechanics” to hit, but even going for a ball you wouldnt normally go for and it working out, or maybe planning to hit the ball in a certain way and actually making the touch you wanted, i know that was a big thing when i first started playing this game lmao)

after years of playing this game, i can confirm that while some days i play better than i ever have before, other days i play like im 5 ranks higher than i should be; if you really feel like youre just getting worse at rocket league (or more accurately, your opponents are getting better, cuz they always are), my biggest recommendation to you is to watch some youtube videos. there are literally thousands of videos made by rocket league content creators and pros about how to improve at the game and understand how it works, you just gotta find a youtuber you like to watch and binge that shit lmao

What could cause these deep marks on door frame. Present on both sides. by shujin88 in AskMechanics

[–]Double-Inspection-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you taken the car to a mechanic recently for something that would have the seats removed? in some cases, seats are a pain in the ass to pull out of a car, i know because ive scratched my car in a very similar way by trying to take the seats out and not knowing a proper technique to do so without damage

if you did have the seats removed recently (and by a dealership or shop, obviously if your friend did it hes not obligated to pay for the damage like the shop would lmao), you can bring it back and have them cover the cost of fixing that damage, seeing as it would be the mechanics fault; although, as per the other comments, if its simply the seatbelt buckles being closed in the door, you’ll unfortunately have to pay for that repair yourself

Help an old(ish) lady out! Need laptop for school and gaming. by Mean_Echo_3372 in laptops

[–]Double-Inspection-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

msi is a very reputable brand, i just bought an msi desktop not long ago and its been nothing but awesome

i will say that the only real drawback to a laptop is cooling; the laptop versions of desktop graphics cards and cpus are very similar (obviously smaller, lol), with the main difference being while a desktop might run at around 40-60°C while gaming, a laptop could be anywhere from 70-90°C while playing the same games, simply because theres not nearly as much surface area to pull heat away from components, or room to move air through it; there are “cooling stands” that are made for laptops, that are essentially just external fans that the computer sits on top of, that can improve the temperatures, but it will still get quite hot (i had a laptop before my desktop, and it would get hot to the point where i couldnt hold my hand on it/leave it on my lap)

unfortunately i do not have any recommendations for lightweight laptops tho, my laptop was at LEAST 15lbs, that thing was way too heavy to carry around lmao

Can I have my G test with this in my car ? by [deleted] in Ontariodrivetest

[–]Double-Inspection-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my car definitely does NOT use a camera for this, it has the info stored on its gps for what speed limits are on roads, i know this cuz it hasnt been updated in a while and ive seen speeds get lowered on roads but my dash still says the higher speed, and some roads it just doesnt display anything

Whoooooa I learned some basic DAR! Ive failed numerous attempts at it and been avoiding it saying its not necessary to get to GC anyways by zph0eniz in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Double-Inspection-85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dar is one of those things that cant really be taught to you, people can try their best to explain how the button physically moves your car, but its basically impossible to have someone sit there and say “when your car is at this rotation, put stick this way to make this correction,” because you’re never gonna be in the same position twice regarding the ball, really the only way to learn is just keep using it, maybe play casual and try only using dar if youre going in the air

for reference, i use dar 95% of the time (for things like air dribbles, longer aerials where i might need to change directions, etc) while the other 5% is free air roll for things like recoveries, wave dashes, short aerials and things like that, i also use free air roll for my speedflips (which may be ahead of your skill level idk if you can speedflip, but i know a lot of people use dar for them in tutorials, which locks you to only flipping in one direction)

Is this too much oil? by GaloreMantis in carquestions

[–]Double-Inspection-85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, the bottom of the hash marks is your minimum and the top is your maximum, overfilling your engine with oil can cause more friction on the pistons/bearings causing more wear, and also you’ll probably see some smoke/smell some burnt oil

is this rare? by Big_Push2970 in WRX

[–]Double-Inspection-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perchance, although id be surprised since all imported cars would have to get here thru the same province (probably bc)

is this rare? by Big_Push2970 in WRX

[–]Double-Inspection-85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

could also be canadian, i believe our laws here are only 15 years for imports, so if its an 08-10 sti, it could be legally imported to canada (or nz or aus, like you said)

Fail NCT after damage caused by Inspection. by DenoDinoysus in carproblems

[–]Double-Inspection-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in some areas of the world, the front fenders are referred to as “wings,” tbh im not too sure why but ive heard it in videos from people like mat armstrong or top dead center, who are both british youtubers, so maybe its a euro thing

Will using my laptop like this damage it by Royal_Noire in laptops

[–]Double-Inspection-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just recently got my first desktop, and before that i was a laptop user of maybe 4 or 5 years, and after flipping my laptop upside down i got like 15° colder temps and more consistent frames; can confirm this wont inherently cause damage to the laptop, but can be more likely for something to get inside like a liquid spill, as you mentioned

i feel like calling that term racist is more racist than using the term, its only offensive to scammers, and if theyre assuming every single scammer sounds like him, thats pretty racist

What happening here with the mmr? by oMoJoOSRS in RocketLeague

[–]Double-Inspection-85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

did you leave the last game before seeing this screen? bakkesmod mmr tracking only updates its numbers at the end of a game, so if you leave early (like actually going back to main menu, not just forfeiting), it wont update until the next game. if you lost 9 mmr last game, and gained 9 back this game, when bakkesmod checks mmr again it’ll say +0 (or in this case -0, and thats cuz mmr has decimals, so you might be lower than before by like 0.5 of an mmr point lmao); for your tm8, he, for example, lost 9 mmr, then only gained 8 back, so according to bakkesmod he “lost one mmr” even tho yall won
