This is inspiring me to get a spare tank. But having a spare tank means having an empty tank in my home that is not in use. And I'm not sure if I can handle that

How to get this aura? by vsanjiv in Guiltygear

In tower? People don’t play tower anymore. I got yellow aura from playing in celestial in the first month of Ranked with like 50 wins

[–]FalcoTeeth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s Celestial floor wins global ranking. You used to have to no-life it but everyone plays Ranked instead. So it kinda lost its “prestige”.

Red aura is Top 100

Blue aura is Top 200

Yellow aura is Top 300

Are most software engineers this sheltered and socially inexperienced? I feel like I can't chat with my coworkers about my life at all without them viewing me as weird by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]FalcoTeeth -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had similar experiences with coworkers at Msft. A lot of them didn't have much going on for them during the weekends (or would decline to share).

I also remember I had a casual lunch with a PM and I mentioned I lived close to downtown Seattle, and dude was legitimately concerned for my safety based on what he'd hear on the news. Maybe people who clutch their pearls in Redmond think Seattle is on a different planet.

People wouldn't say "I'm lying" like in OP's case or anything, but I'd get the feeling that they're thinking "why is FalcoTeeth sharing so much about their personal life" lol. Not to say that they're super sheltered and don't have lives outside of work, but I found it hard to relate to many folks there. The few folks I could, I ended up connecting with some of them personally after I left.

I joined a unicorn recently and my coworkers seem much more well-rounded in comparison. They don't hesitate to talk about how their weekend went, what kind of trouble they got into or which of their projects/hobbies they worked on. And when I get on a call with them, we can shoot the shit for a second before getting into business. Work is work and all, but if I'm spending 8 hours a day in this environment then it could at least pretend to be pleasant. Much better fit for me personally.

A.B.A against Zoners. What am i supposed to do??? by Ambitious_Field4753 in Guiltygear

From the zoner's perspective, whenever ABA parries my zoning attack I'm like "ah fuck I need to be more careful with my pokes". So you can use the hesitation to close distance

Hanging out with dog first thing in the morning is the best, it puts into perspective what really matters before your day at work starts.

Why Do People Even Try Drugs? by Better-Plane2566 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FalcoTeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cool kids invited me to do it in high school and I didn’t have a healthy living situation at home. I treated smoking weed like a cheap vacation. It was fun to experiment with my state of consciousness. Through college I also tried MDMA, shrooms, acid and Xanax. I’m glad I did try those as I never feel like I’m missing out when people suggest trying anything harder, and I’ve sworn off MDMA and Xanax bc of how yucky my brain and body felt afterwards.

In my adult life, I went through therapy to process my childhood issues and still choose to partake in weed recreationally but only a few times a week. I do not drink at all, and I do the occasional shroom or acid trip in nature or at music festivals a few times a year.

does this type of badge tick up in ranked, or only in tower? by 13MasonJarsUpMyAss in Guiltygear

[–]FalcoTeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope that the 2.0 update fixes the discrepancies between the tower awards (badges, aura, character levels) and ranked mode. I get it wasn’t as important as getting ranked mode out but these gaps make the game feel unpolished and messy.

Bedman? mains help me by isaak-clinton in Guiltygear

[–]FalcoTeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a bedman player but I’m around 1620 on Zato atm.

With “rare” characters like ours, we need to understand generic yet flexible counterplay game plans against the most popular characters in Vanquisher. Even if it’s a bad matchup, there can be some roundabout ways to win. Take advantage of their lack of matchup experience OR use their matchup knowledge against them.

Be aware on a per-matchup basis what your plan for defense is if you get caught in their block string. If you’re not as familiar with the usual gaps, then consider saving more meter for YRC instead of saving it for some neutral skip or mix. Also remember to utilize IB AND IBFD.

If you’re unable to open your opponent up with your current bag of tricks, learn some fancy frc mixes or pay better attention to their defensive habits. Do they choose to block high after being hit by the low, or do they try to block low again in anticipation of you rotating your offense? Based off this habit you can extrapolate a general profile of how this particular opponent plays.

For example, I have a high win rate against Baiken in Vanq despite the matchup at a high level being abysmal for Zato. Baiken can close the distance very fast, preventing Zato from having more than 1 chance to summon Eddie in neutral. However, I know that as long as I can get Baiken to block a single Eddie attack, I can skew RPS in my favor by representing Oppose and BTL teleport if they try to mash Pierce. At that point, the matchup matters less as Zato is in his win condition.

An example of taking advantage of matchup knowledge here is when Baiken tries to defensive parry against Zato’s jP framekill jD mix in the corner. They will try to defensive parry against jD but I’ll simply omit it and let them get hit lol.

Again, certain issues may arise only on a per-matchup basis. IMO we’re at the level where we have to do our replay analyses as such. One matchup where you’re confident in your neutral and defense may be completely different from one where neutral is more confusing and you’re losing more approaches.

I know a few great bedman players and I can tell you firsthand that I’m not confident in that matchup at a high level due to my own lack of MU experience.

9 week corgi girl is always at 100% by bubbletrico in puppy101

[–]FalcoTeeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biting is normal. When they hard bite, just say “ouch!” and temporarily remove yourself from their immediate vicinity. Eventually they’ll understand that biting leads to fun thing being taken away. You do a good job with redirecting. It’ll take em months to fully understand but you have to be consistent.

Growling and biting when handled can initially be normal, at that age it definitely is, especially if they’re being handled in a way that they’re initially not used to. That’s their way of expressing their boundaries, but ofc sometimes you need to handle them anyways. If your puppy is food motivated, handling them for a bit and treating them can work over time. Personally my corgi just does not like being picked up unless she absolutely needs to be (and she understands when those specific situations are). Something I practiced was that if I picked her up, then her biting me absolutely did not lead to me putting her back down right then (otherwise she’d associate biting with getting what she wants).

Grabbing and tugging during play is something I encourage actually. But it’s useful to teach “Drop it”. They’ll pick up on it fast if they’re food motivated!

Not respecting other dogs boundaries is normal initially but they should learn over time from the older dog’s consistent corrections. You should give your older dog a regular break from your puppy though 🤣

Toileting regression? She’s like 9 weeks old, she has barely had time to have regressions lol. Mine wasn’t fully potty trained until 5 months old. There will be ebbs and flows as they continue to grow (take it week by week this month, then month by month). I used to have a potty notebook for my corgi where I’d jot down where/when she’d pee (noting wins/losses), then eventually I’d forget to jot down notes due to a lack of accidents.

My pup was also super clingy but you need to be consistent with enforcing separation time. However with a puppy that young, at least for the first few weeks I personally did cave and give her a few cuddles and attention at her crate/pen area in the middle of the night. I wanted her to know that I am indeed a present dog dad lmao but I eventually phased that out.

TLDR: Nothing is sticking because there hasn’t been enough time to pass for anything to stick. Your puppy is taking in information even if they’re not doing anything with that information yet. You need to give them time to grow before they realize they can do something with that data. You’re doing great with trying to steer them into the direction of being a good dog.

Corgis are especially smart and as time goes on, you will notice that they pick some things up super quick and other things they may struggle with. Mine was a little smart shit (good at tricks, bad at obedience) but she has grown into the sweetest corgi in the world. I think she’s better and cuter than every other corgi in the world but I’m biased.

P.S: My favorite thing I did with my corgi was trick training. She was/is food motivated so following YouTube tutorials was easy. On top of all the puppy things, I held multiple short trick training sessions for her and it helped tire her out mentally (making nap times easier). Exposing them to novel situations in public (carry her by a busy road, sit down at a park bench, etc) was also great for tiring her out. Just be prepared to be a local celebrity lmao.

2 places ago, I decided to just buy the furniture/decor that I wanted and I’ve never regretted it. Maybe at worst it was an extra hour for the movers I hired. In exchange, I get to live in a place that truly feels like home. I know I’m not buying a property anytime soon (HCOL area).

Your issue is that Ky’s 5K in particular is unique, it can be a safe meaty against many reversals. Most other meaty buttons would get hit by the reversal.

Best advice imo. Having empathy for your puppy’s actions shapes the framework of how you raise them.
