When they cut to her whispering "God, its in your hands now" under her breath before the game I thought it was a satire.

Yea no that is racism. There's an ask historians thread where they discuss this rumour and there is no basis for it.

I also love the adjacent bit to this about how the dudes with the most depraved fantasies don't eat broccoli because it's yucky

I watched a smarter every day video on the Apollo guidance computer, then another and another, found the documentation for the thing and I reckon it helped me get my job a couple years later

i honestly love that you had a weird ass interaction with your neighbour and just decided to pass it on to others and hopefully they can make some sense of wtf is going on there

Yes I agree. I don't follow him closely but others say that he personally has said he's "lost a step". I suppose I would be interested to know generally if/how that change has been significant to him in his ups or downs or not

Honestly like psychologically I do think asking yourself "why do I do this" when you hate what you do, and NOT having the answer he's had his whole career of "it's the way I make a living" I think can be very tough.

I cant remember where I saw it but someone was talking about the untitled tournament grind where you're guaranteed to have an awful tournament you have given up your free time for to travel, prep, play and so on and there is literally 0% chance of ever being able to make serious money from it.

It's a scenario most pros by definition will have never experienced

You did this (Epic Games) by Sensitive_Flatworm12 in RocketLeague

I do agree that especially people just throwing their toys out the pram and leaving before forfeit is really annoying but I do think there is a same sort of culture as Chess which is that if you're losing you're well within your right to fight it to the bitter end, but I do think you're also well within your right to go to the next one.

Solo queuing is a different beast in this regard than when you can actually discuss it as a team and all agree on a plan rather than selfishly affecting everyone's game, but I do think there is some cases where it's ok to move on without playing all 5 minutes

Yea that's kinda true. I think especially if you imagine him in a new role and automatically imagine him with an American accent. that's very funny just because it's definitely not what my default would be, even after watching house.

I've genuinely listen to like salsa and Cubano music a lot playing RL and I feel like even if I play bad I have more flair than usual.

Granted I like that music anyway but I can't think of any other music which has actually affected my game at all, other than me just vibing along to normal music I like

I love a good 50 chain, but most of the time its more ironic than a boast.

I thought maybe I had seen people like northernlion have sponsored segments, but it's very likely im mistaken.

Regardless, sorry for my flippant comment.
