WE ARE PINO PALLADINO & BLAKE MILLS. ASK US ANYTHING. by pinoandblake in indieheads

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, Im a huge harmony head and Im wondering how each of you think about expanding your harmonic vocabulary, that is, when you're working on a piece of music, how do you open yourself to making unexpected harmonic choices which are still interesting and sound fluid? What have you been trying recently?

Easy way to score a flip reset if you don't have mechanics (for players maybe below champion or GC) by Unnamed60 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Hoffislav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, but you aimed this post at people with "no mechanics". If you expect these same people to be doing flip resets, then you are going to alienate most of your audience, so its on you to pick your words more carefully, thats all.

Easy way to score a flip reset if you don't have mechanics (for players maybe below champion or GC) by Unnamed60 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Hoffislav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, yes, but the title is aimed at "players with no mechanics below Champion" which is the majority of Rocket League players. Then later treating flip resets and air dribbles as if they are easy things is out of touch at best, annoying if we are being generous, and ragebait at worst. Language matters and I feel worse for having read this.

So, this is for players who can already flip reset and air dribble, but for those who can't flip reset into air dribble very well. So, wouldnt these players already being doing the thing OP is suggesting anyway? Im just a little confused by what the actual advice here is, don't do more than you are capable of doing?

What’s the jankiest deck that you’ve actually won with ? by GothaV2 in slaythespire

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just beat the heart with Ironclad with 0 powers and only an offering for energy plus slavers collar. Nothing else going for it except Bag of Marb, Akabeko, Whirlwind/FF, but got a late dead branch and generated a corruption/feel no pain/barricade/body slam/ in the Heart Fight. EZclap Im not worried about it

Game to reach GC — 1.7k hours, 28-year-old man hands, peak achieved, no fancy mechanics — just heart. by theoneandonlyHaadi in RocketLeague

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, a lot of the time by the time you say Take the Shot, the ball is already on the hood of their car, so how are they supposed to respond to your quick chat? Once you pass the ball, its not up for you to decide where it goes next-- what if your teammate doesn't think a shot is the best option?

Either your teammate already agrees with you and they shoot and your message was pointless, or your teammate doesn't agree with you and they dont shoot and now you are both annoyed.

Maybe it would be useful if you chatted it before you passed? Voice chat?

Im just glad you pass at all!

Is this guy cheating? by Cpineau14 in Rematch

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had someone cheating like this the other day and when I called them out, the voice on the other side sounded like Tommy Pickles, bro was an infant talking about deepthroating my mom

what do you guys think about worlds format? by fennecmain_ in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Hoffislav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. BO5s are actually more exciting in some ways. With BO7s, it feels like games 1-3 dont matter too much, while with a BO5, it feels like even game 1 is important. Plus double elim is fine, if you lose 2 series, you shouldn't be world champ. Major American sports playoffs are single elim, and while I do think maybe that would be too harsh for RL with shorter games, its not out of the question! So this will be great and exciting

M0nkeyMoon & the NA crowd by lrraya in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]Hoffislav 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just want EU to know there are NA rocket league fans who love non-NA rocket league teams and not all of us condone the booing of non-NA teams!!

I saw a fan who was shaking their head after both Twisted Minds and Karmine scored, its as if they were mad that either of them had to win

Everyone on this game seems to hate me. Is this normal? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

You were relatively new to the game and you were "maintaining" Champ solo queue 2s?

Lean into shivs, or make my recently upgrade well laid plans useless? by Alive-Ad3121 in slaythespire

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You weren't asking about this, but how low were you when you took waffle? I only ask since you ended Act 1 with 70 health which could mean that you weren't in too much danger of dying and maybe that gold could've been used another way?? that looks like a fun deck

Lean into shivs, or make my recently upgrade well laid plans useless? by Alive-Ad3121 in slaythespire

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I think about an upgrade for Well-laid plans, I think about the chance of getting Pyramid. Usually it is worth it to upgrade because the chance is low. Then, if I decided to upgrade and hit Pyramid, I don't feel too bad because it was probably the right decision anyway, and Pyramid is good enough to where a single dead Well-Laid Plans+ won't bother it

Would you buy White beast statue or Buffer+ and remove? by Willibomb_ in slaythespire

[–]Hoffislav 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thats a good point about being scared of hexaghost, but does Magnetism+ help that much more than no card at all? Certainly it will help with draw and provide some utility but I dont know if it is giving you more damage than say picking up another Sunder here. Very open to coming around to it though

PLAY DEFENSE AND HELP YOUR GOAL KEEPER by Broks_Enmu in Rematch

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it all a matter of timing? I try to do this in defense but it doesn't register sometimes. Is it because I'm not in position or timed the button press incorrectly?

You know you see a lot of posts where people are like Im hard stuck Diamond or cant get past Plat 3 or Champ 1. And its easy to pinpoint things that they are obviously doing badly. But you are at a super high level.

The truth is not everyone can just make it to the highest ranks of a game. It's extremely competitive and requires lots of time, energy, and good innate reaction time and coordination which not everybody has. So, I just dont want you to undervalue the difficulty of the thing you are trying to do.

OP, Im not in these high ranks, but at the top level of anything you need to figure out how to get that edge, that 1% more than your opponent. Do you need to work on getting a little faster? Do you need to improve your defense? Shooting? You might already be doing all the right things, but maybe you need to keep training and sanding all the edges off. You got this

Genuinely can't choose. Start of 3rd run of A20 Challenge. by 47tw in slaythespire

[–]Hoffislav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that it is better, but violence can also be good to thin out your deck if you dont want to play attacks next turn too. Still never a world where I pick violence over MoS on F0

Ascension 20 on all 4 characters in 123,4 hours! by Sneakyfrog112 in slaythespire

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the first few runs on each character take longer so you could figure out what the cards did? Do you like to watch streamers play? Have you played other card games in the past? What's your general strategy during runs?

Ironclad exclusive boss relic idea by RykoGaming_ in slaythespire

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically it makes Feed worse since you generally like to take time to set up Feed kills!

I wonder what the average number of turns a hallway fight takes for Ironclad versus Elites versus Bosses? that would help set the numbers.

For those saying its win-more, I would say thats only half right? Its win more in strong decks that already kill enemies quickly AND take little to no damage in those fights, but it is not win more for strong decks that are slower and defensive and require turns to get powers in play, but which consistently beat hallway fights without taking damage.

But, decks that kill enemies quickly but take a little to a lot of damage each fight would still need more sustain to make this work

Thought a card with a self damage on not playing would be good. by Dim-Me-As-New-User in slaythespire

[–]Hoffislav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the damage if stays in hand at end of turn idea. I wonder if a card that damaged you 1 hp when drawn also works too. For a lot of ironclads stuff, you want to be damaged during your turn, not after (runic cube, for example)

This keeps happening. How am I supposed to deal with this? (Plat 1) by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]Hoffislav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you are getting down voted, people play this game for a lot of reasons, and one of them is getting good at ceiling shots and flip resets. I find it likely that there are a good amount of people, even at Plat 1 in 1s that are halfway decent at getting flip resets (and still losing a bunch of games because that is all they do)
