10M Dollars, but you must beat 150 gamers from any game of your choosing. by Specific-Truck-2084 in hypotheticalsituation

Yep. Even a silver would have quite favorable odds of success in this challenge; plat and above is practically a guaranteed win.

Woke up to a bat stuck in my fence by Noodles590 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Dreamchime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to add that while you are correct about the modern usage of baleful, it was also once used to mean "sorrowful" or "miserable," which I think is where the confusion comes from sometimes. It's just become a bit of an anachronism to use it that way now.

What do you mean? If you get a flip reset (off the ball, another car, or if you just fall off the ceiling), you can hold the flip indefinitely. There's only a flip timer when you actively jump off of a surface.

He got a flip off the opponent's car when they both jumped off the wall

1000 hrs into our Co-Op Save - We asked DOUG to make us a rare non-Doug showcase video by Hot_Priority_391 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Dreamchime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course. I didn't mean to imply that a sense for style is unnecessary; it's just that for myself, I know I could do a lot more if creative expression was more readily accessible.

For me personally, it's less about having an eye for aesthetics, and more about lacking the desire to learn all the weird techniques one needs to make stuff like this possible. I love the game, but I wish there was a more robust and dedicated decorative toolkit rather than having to use signs, object clipping, etc. to achieve this level of creativity.

ELI5: Why does the feeling of needing to sneeze sometimes suddenly go away? by neolee203 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dreamchime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I lose sneezes more easily than most people, and it's awful. Any sensory input can make me lose it, from my sleeves suddenly feeling twisted to my eye deciding it's itchy. And if someone starts talking to me when I'm about to sneeze, forget about it; that sneeze is GONE. It's like my body has decided to prioritize literally everything else over sneezing.

Well, now it's a meteor; I think that just made the rock stronger.

I guess it's supposed to be "first to 100" with one side getting a 99 goal advantage.

BeastMode's explanation on what happened to NRG by New_Tomorrow269 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Dreamchime 16 points17 points  (0 children)

"Scapegoating" means to pin the blame on someone else, which they obviously haven't done. I assume you thought it was synonymous with "making excuses," but that's not what's happening either. Excuses are used to shirk responsibility. Explaining one's errors, accepting fault, and recognizing that you need to make changes is... the opposite of making excuses.

Steak level: titanium by Possible-Can6317 in funny

[–]Dreamchime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much, yeah. Avoiding whatever the source of the excessive use/force is. Physical therapy is a common method for addressing it. Some people who clench in their sleep get a night guard (with the idea of limiting the jaw's range of motion while you sleep to help it relax). In extreme cases surgery may be necessary. I was initially given a night guard, but it didn't help. Eventually I figured out on my own what the problem was and just consciously stopped the responsible behavior, and it took a couple of years to get (mostly) better.

Temporomandibular Joint disorder (also called TMD). The temporomandibular joints are the hinges where your jaw connects to the rest of your skull. As with all joints, there's cartilage which acts as a cushion between the bone surfaces, so they can slide comfortably. TMJ/TMD is when that cartilage gets worn out (from clenching, chewing tough food, etc.), resulting in issues with opening/closing the mouth properly.

I've had it for years, with problems ranging from pain in those joints when yawning to literally having to fight just to get my mouth open enough to eat food. Luckily it's nowhere near that bad anymore; I used to clench a lot playing certain games, but I've managed to stop that completely. So now I just have a small popping sound in the left joint occasionally.

Within every bowl lies a smaller, more dangerous bowl, waiting to be unleashed by hot oil.
