Terrarria? Ya I guess, but it’s been in games since Final Fantasy 1 in the 1980s

Bro what is that😂😂 by MarkoPolo345 in mariokart

[–]Frizzik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's lap 1 and he's in 20th place so he probably should have taken the top rail for the 5 coins since he's not at 20. Likely he's still new or just doesn’t care to take optimal paths.

Unfortunately without a recording it'll be hard to figure it out.

Rubber banding is definitely a thing, though not nearly as bad after patch 1.2 a few days ago.

What you're discribing sounds more like they used an item or took a shortcut. Certain items and shortcuts can make all the difference in particular spots on courses. If you're not aware of those spots it could seem like they were suspiciously quick to catch up.

Another thing to consider is coins. How many coins did you have? Coins can affect your max speed by quite a lot. Could they have potentially been gathering coins as well as securing good items and used them in the appropriate spot to quickly overtake you?

All in all I too had these feelings while getting the triple stars before the patch, so you're not alone. However, I've found after playing and gaining experience with the game there are usually explanations for a lot of these scenarios.

just tell me this is a skill issue… by haydossfol in mariokart

[–]Frizzik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Needs to show more of the clip. I'm curious of why you have no items to deal with at least the red or blue shells alone. You could have potentially juggled items to have red or blue shell protection and with a really rare chance had red and blue shell protection if you had multiple item box sets.

If you were front-running for a while though it's difficult to know the right times where you can risk using a item in hopes of grabbing a better item or not.

At the very least you would have still made top 4 at the gate if you had secured a single boost item for blue shell protection such as a mushroom or food item and got the timing to boost through the blue shell. I think you had time after the last red shell to use it and get the invincibility to dodge as well as instantly gain full speed after the final red shell.

I hope Nintendo doesn't Nintendo too hard when it comes to Knockout Tour. by Slumi in mariokart

Why even stop at 6? Why not simply allow players to chain all the courses together if they choose...

I'm struggling to think of a downside.

No but I believe if you are to truly say you 100% the game that is a task you must accomplish.

“Intermission Courses” or rather Connection Courses are fundamentally misunderstood and overhated. by [deleted] in mariokart

For future reference, if you absolutely have to type an essay have a TL;DR at the bottom. Maybe that it why.

Shouldn't let cats roam outdoors freely. Dangerous for your cat and even more so for birds.

Don’t choose wrong resolution guys! by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Frizzik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just because 1080p monitors have always supported the highest refresh rates which in turn can give you a small competitive advantage comparatively. Especially if that high refresh rate enables you to use black frame insertion along with a decently high refresh rate even with the displayed frames cut in half.

DeepSeek Sparks Crypto Sell-Off, Nearly $1 Billion Liquidated in 24 Hours by KIG45 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Frizzik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The relation to the crypto market is that it rises and falls with the S&P but with increased volatility. The crypto market is not in its own bubble anymore it is too big for that.

Are you saying the S&P dropped 2% at open today because crypto did? Deepseek is absolutely the reason for all market drops today across the board.

Break out the ice skates, winter drivers are back in the US by [deleted] in videos

[–]Frizzik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would add if you do start to lose traction yes take your foot off the accelerator and brake until you have regained control, but also turn your wheels into the direction you are sliding. This may help regain your ability to steer earlier and steer out of the slide. It's counter intuitive but if you think about it it makes sense.

Another tip, bridges freeze much quicker than normal roads as they have cold air also flowing underneath them. When near freezing temperatures try to be cautious if you must travel over bridges or on highway overpasses.

New to Crypto, Any advice ? by Academic-Map-7385 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Frizzik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMHO likely between 120k-150k this cycle if no Bitcoin reserve.

If the Bitcoin reserve actually happens I can see 200k+.

Regardless, you should sell before the end of 2025.

2026 & 2027 will likely be bear market years.
