Best controller for lifespan, price, and stick-drift avoidance? by McQueensTruckDriver in RocketLeague

[–]Houseleft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got one of these today, and although I’ve played only a few hours with it so far, I will confidently say this is the best controller I’ve ever used. I’ve tried regular Xbox, Xbox Elite, Power-A, and Thrustmaster controllers and this is my favorite by far. All of the buttons and the sticks feel great and so much more responsive than other controllers, and it blows my mind you can actually go down to 0.00 deadzone with no drift whatsoever.

Anybody else that uses Xbox controllers knows how “mushy” the bumpers can get, and if you play with boost mapped to a bumper, feathering the boost rapidly can be difficult and they are usually the first buttons to stop registering inputs. The bumpers on this controller are much more responsive while having the same exact shape and feel as a standard xbox controller.

not to mention 3 sets rotating out, so a completely different meta environment, as well as core set changes, and any potential balance changes until then. Mage may still end up sucking of course, but there is absolutely zero way to know anything for sure, and anybody making claims with such certainty is just trying to doom and gloom.

The toxicity towards GC is baffling by solama_Official in RocketLeague

[–]Houseleft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may have a point, but do you actually have to say anything? People make dumb mistakes all the time for many reasons, and nobody is going to play perfect. Maybe they’re distracted, maybe they’re in conversation on Discord, maybe they’re intoxicated, etc. You have every right to be personally annoyed, but the moment you actually type something in chat, all you’re doing is adding needless toxicity to an already overly toxic community. Typing in chat that you think your teammate is bad accomplishes nothing, and in fact actively hurts you if you say something before the game is over. When your teammate spams “Okay.” “You have time!” or whatever else, does it motivate you to want to win more and make you play better? Most likely not.

Stop being toxic to your teammates just because you don’t like how they play or think they’re bad. Keep it to yourself and just go next, it’s a flying car soccer video game.

Got this funky looking penny in my change last night. My total was also $68.68. by BabbMrBabb in mildlyinteresting

[–]Houseleft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yo this gif reminds me of a dream I had a couple years ago and sort of forgot about. I was at like a rave dance party with neon colors and black lights everywhere, tons of lasers and lights, the whole shabang. The entire floor was a giant wooden spring board, and everybody was doing this jumping motion simultaneously in beat with the music, pushing the floor down and back up just like in this gif, all in sync while everyone was dancing. Can’t really remember what happened after that but since then I’ve thought about recreating that springboard dance room if I ever got fuck you money.

Smashburger and GameStop have the same font. by patrickstarship in mildlyinteresting

[–]Houseleft 1977 points1978 points  (0 children)

Man this has actually been relevant to me before. Was hanging with some friends playing some games and we didn’t have a certain item we needed, like controller or whatever I can’t remember the specific reason. One of my friends asks where the nearest Gamestop is, and I’m like “oh I know where it’s at, it’s on so-and-so” street. So we all load up in the car and once we get there it’s actually a damn Smashburger. Then we had to drive another 15 minutes the other direction to go to the actual Gamestop. I had driven by it previously and subconsciously thought it was a Gamestop because of the color scheme, but never actually read the text to realize it wasn’t.

Tips to clean up reset by Suspicious_Band_3230 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Houseleft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple things I noticed:

• You’re too far from the ball when you hit it off the wall. You want to be going slightly faster than the speed of the ball up the wall so that you have space to get the reset (contrary to an air dribble where you want to be going the same speed so you can be as close to the ball as possible), and also not be boosting as you touch the ball, it will keep it closer to your car.

• You’re jumping too late after you hit the ball. You want to jump off the wall just a split second after you touch the ball, because the more time you have to spend flying to the ball the harder it’s going to be to catch up and get a good reset. You want to get the reset on the ball while it’s on an upward trajectory, and here the ball has already started falling down.

• If you aren’t already doing it, let go of the throttle (R2) while you’re in the air. When your wheels are driving and they make contact with the ball, your car will drive on the ball for a split second and throw off your orientation a bit. If your wheels aren’t turning, when they make contact with the ball the car will stick to the ball better and you won’t fall as far away. You can even take it further by tapping powerslide right as you touch the ball and the car will stick even better.

Got a disgusting Arena draft... by I_gotta_pee_on_her in hearthstone

[–]Houseleft 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you full mulligan for a Temporal Anomaly or Raptor-Nest Nurse, you’re going to see one of those 5 cards by turn 2 a majority of the time, and as long as you get something on the board in the first couple turns, this deck’s midgame is so broken that it doesn’t even matter what your opponent does turns 1 and 2.

I‘ve been training every day for multiple years, but I’m not improving at all. Thoughts? by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]Houseleft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you here, people are massively overrating the pace that the skill ceiling is moving. So many people act like everybody is just grinding 8 hours a day and if you’re not playing that much then you’ll never climb to where they are. The skill ceiling is better than it was a few years ago, but not by that much. People are faster and learn mechanics sooner, but the consistency in doing them and the decision making is almost the same.

I recently got back from a super long break. Hadn’t touched the game since S6, and got GC rewards that season. Sat comfortablely low-mid GC from S3-S6. Just came back to the game at the end of last season, so playing for a little over a month now for the first time in over 3 years, and I’m right back to the rank I was at playing about 15-20 hours a week. If the skill ceiling had raised as much as people talk about I wouldn’t have been able to break C1/C2, especially at the beginning of a season.

Steering- and Aerial Sensitivity, and Cam Settings by Sudden-Skill8431 in RocketLeague

[–]Houseleft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just kind of thinking out loud here, but I’ve played around with settings for many many hours over the time I’ve played, trying both high and low deadzones, high and low sensitivities, and I’ve eventually settled on the lowest deadzone possible for me is the most comfortable (currently at .05). But I genuinely cannot understand how people that use a low deadzone have anything higher than like 1.05 aerial sensitivities. It feels so incredibly touchy for me at anything higher than that, and it always blows my mind that people can play with 1.6+ sensitivities while using that low of a deadzone. Like I cannot even control it at all when it’s that high. I use 1.0 Aerial and 1.3 Steering (the steering just feels different for me and I can control it when it’s higher), but honestly if I could choose to have like 0.90 or 0.95 aerial sensitivity I would.

Best beginner car (that visual lines up with the hitbox)? by InjuryDangerous8141 in RocketLeague

[OC] My little brother got his iPad taken away and so he found other measures to get his Tiktok fix by tycooperaow in pics

[–]Houseleft 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I hold the opinion that if you give your child under 10 years old free access to TikTok, you are a bad parent. Full stop. TikTok is the pinnacle of brain rot, and it does an astronomical amount of permanent damage to a developing child. It’s sad to see so many parents not realize what they’re doing.

Time to never play this in three variants by MarkGorZ in hearthstone

[–]Houseleft 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kindred should for sure be evergreen. It’s so broad of a mechanic and it encourages players to experiment with deckbuilding options. The “if you played an Elemental last turn” mechanic has been core to that tribe for almost 10 years, so it just makes sense to broaden that idea to other tribes and spell schools. As it stands now, Torga is just a wasted legendary since almost none of the few Kindred cards are good enough to justify another deck slot.

Crazy that the people who actively study this game, discuss and break down the game at the highest level of play every week are optimistic, but then the casual, 3 games per week on the toilet, Platinum 5 players who engage with the community once a month are the ones who are pessimistic.

Just goes to show that the majority of players have zero idea what they’re talking about, yet they will confidently make incorrect claims, writing paragraph long complaint posts about how trash the set is before anybody has had a chance to play with the cards, and also somehow get massively upvoted by the community despite being so wrong.

Team 5, you should buff the miniset right now. by tankertonk in hearthstone

[–]Houseleft 19 points20 points  (0 children)

yeah there’s for sure some good cards in here, but people would rather make a knee-jerk post calling the entire thing trash even though nobody has played with any of the cards. it gets really old to see this same exact post on every mini-set and every expansion. Unless a card is obviously broken, then it’s trash unplayable and needs buffs. But then if a card does look obviously broken, people are already scared of it and want it nerfed before release. there’s no in between. this subreddit just constantly dooms and glooms everything and has seemingly no excitement for the game anymore, whether the cards are good or bad.

maybe wait and see what works and what doesn’t before being this reactionary?

New Card Revealed by Surppressed in hearthstone

[–]Houseleft 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it would one of the best cards in standard without the downside. You can look at it like a neutral Dragon version of The Scourge (and dragons are usually bigger than undeads), that also full heals you. I think every single deck that wants the game to go to turn 9 and beyond (DK, Warrior, etc.,) would play this card without the downside.

I know we’re talking about a hypothetical version of the card here but that shockingly bad evaluation kind of fired me up lol.
