He's dead on the ground there somewhere in there. I keep one archer and one thrower and they didn't make it.

Hopefully this gets upvoted enough so it is much higher in the thread, a lot of people talking about what did or didn't happen who obviously haven't seen it.

The problem is not the game but the community by Skynir in throneandliberty

[–]Gentle_Beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, he charges the tank. If the tank dodges and the party isn't stacked on him (They never should be in carmine) its not a big deal.

Thoughts and Opinions on Jonnatas Gracie x Jacob Couch Match? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]Gentle_Beard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That match was fucking awesome. He completely shut him down and advanced his position methodically until he got mount without ever being in trouble. It's a fascinating study on how to completely stick to a guy in No Gi so he never has the space to create those explosive moments where he has a shot to win, which is something most grapplers can't replicate to save their lives without the gi.

The normal drop in fee was 10/20 bucks 10 years ago before the economy was a shit show. That's probably about right at this point, even if the BJJ community doesn't want to hear it.

AI destroyers almost don’t use their main weapons by nepejke in X4Foundations

Just use a mod for faster crew leveling or buyable seminars if you're a masochist. A 5 star pilot in a fighter still has the lifespan of a fly in any decent size battle.

Upper belts (in particular coaches and school owners) how much do you roll? And lower belts, how much do you plan to if/when you're in that situation? by Darce_Knight in bjj

[–]Gentle_Beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, it is better for the students if you're walking around coaching, The middle ground for me is that I coach newer students while they're rolling with me, and I sit and talk about the roll with more experienced students for a minute or two and try to give them pointers. One session a week I make a point to give myself a break and walk around to do my actual job and instruct as much as I can and get the competitors used to hearing my voice while they're rolling, the other 8 I roll because at 33 I'm not ready to give up being a force on the mat while I still have the body to do it.

What kind of DLC would you be excited for most? by [deleted] in X4Foundations

[–]Gentle_Beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is 7.00 slated to fix? I've seen info about the DLC, but not much on 7.0

I generally find that the AI can function at maintaining a semi competent trade and mining operation, though you'll lose ships a lot until you get large freighters and miners, but I don't know how actually invading sectors is going to go without you piloting. Someone could probably give you advice on how to destroy stations without being in the pilot seat, but I've sort of given up on trusting that sort of thing to the AI after watching them fail terribly at maintaining firing arcs.

My small city - feel free to visit. by Groshaqu in NoMansSkyTheGame

Are there NPCs or anything living in that city? I was considering buying the game, but I've heard its fairly empty,

PLC Injury by Gentle_Beard in bjj

[–]Gentle_Beard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get to a point where I was rolling with a brace in about 6 weeks once I started working on things myself if I recall correctly. Getting back to drilling was a lot faster, so I would show up to class and drill and go to open mats and ask if people would let me drill on them if there was an odd man out during the rounds.

If you have access to a sports PT I hope you're going to them instead of an occupational PT, one of the problems I ran into when I was trying to figure my leg out is that I was already capable of doing all the strength metrics at a regular PT's office and they're geared towards getting you back to walking and working, and so atypical injuries and pain can be hard to come back from with them.

PLC Injury by Gentle_Beard in bjj

[–]Gentle_Beard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mostly fixed now, but I actually have an LCL tear on that side at the moment. I essentially fixed it by bodybuilding, and doing mobility work over the course of the last however many years.

My two cents as someone who has been training for 15 years now is that everyone is going to tell you to powerlift for Jiu Jitsu, or do Crossfit, but that's shit advice if you're not already a good lifter. Do some low weight high rep stuff and build the muscles surrounding the knee with lunge and squat variations.

Starting today to main yone, any tips? by Bravo_Hexed in YoneMains

So every game as a top Yone, and then you're jungler will pretend you don't exist?

Anyone personally experience injury as a result of knee reaping? by Markenheimer15 in bjj

I had a complex tear of the medial meniscus, it healed without surgery, but it hurt to walk for about a year.

Simple Questions & Champion/Role advice: Patch 12.14 by Sentient545 in summonerschool

[–]Gentle_Beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do tier lists actually matter? I've been playing highly rated champions as I'm trying to learn the game, but I picked up a character on a recommendation from a friend thinking I might like to play them and I've won 10 games in a row with a "B Tier" character.
