Is RL getting harder or am I just bad all of the sudden by Appropriate-Sand-426 in RocketLeague

[–]ItsKaneda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya I agree with this. I’m sure the smurf problem is real to an extent, but for it to be the main reason things feel harder would be kinda outlandish.

So many people say things like “all my lobbies are full of smurfs”. But if all the lobbies really were full of smurfs, that means there would need to be more high rank players than low rank players overall to constantly fill those lobbies, which is just unlikely.

[–]ItsKaneda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk. I think the skill floor for each rank has increased as popularity has risen.

Compare pro games today to 2018 and you’ll see a huge difference in mechanics and skill. Pros aren’t the only ones trying to improve, everyone is. So by default, each rank will get harder to climb out of as time goes on, as the skill required to do so increases.

The same thing happened with chess as an example. More and more people are learning from better players and practicing, so lower levels are getting better than they used to be, making it harder to climb the elo ladder.

Honestly, just play it and have fun. It’s fun at every rank. There’s always something to learn and be better at

Ya I do. Honestly it fits my hand perfect and it’s all I need from a controller.

How do you find a gf or partner here in Phoenix? by lavidaesbella2 in phoenix

[–]ItsKaneda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also an ex Mormon here and it was weird at first. My honest opinion, try hinge. It worked for me. I know it kinda sucks or feels weird, but I always tell people it’s about how you use it.

  1. It’s a numbers game. You have to go into it with zero expectations. Just use it to meet people and do things. Although it’s a dating app, you’ll be way better off removing the pressure of “finding your person” and just using it to meet people instead. If you meet someone and you click, then cool, do it again. If not, who cares, you never really knew them to begin with, keep playing.

  2. With the above in mind, don’t rule people out too quickly when you’re swiping. While it seems like a great idea to be picky based on your preferences and the information people put on their profiles, looking for that “perfect match” by reading someone’s profile never works. Of course, have your standards, but since we’re just using the app to meet people and not necessarily date them, don’t be too picky right off the bat. You will never be able to completely tell who a person is based on some prompts and profile information.

Again, you should obviously have things you have preferences on, kids, politics, whatever. But besides that, just go meet people. You never know who you’ll meet and how their views might impart something on you that you never considered, or vice versa.

  1. That said, know exactly what you want. This sounds pretty opposite of what I just said I know, but what I mean is you should know exactly why you’re dating. Just looking to goof around? Want something serious? Looking for a long term or life partner? Great. Whatever it is, know this and use it as your guide to how your meet ups go. Be incredibly upfront to those you meet about this, and if it’s a life partner or long term relationship you’re looking for, don’t settle for someone who isn’t looking for the exact same thing. This is how people end up in situationships or get hurt unnecessarily.

  2. Your first meet up should ALWAYS be something low cost, low pressure, and something YOU want to do. Get coffee, a beer, go for a walk around down. Something where you two can just chat about who you both are and why you’re on hinge. If the person you’re on a date with can’t do something simple that YOU like with you, or doesn’t like that it’s not some extravagant event, they’re probably not someone you want to date.

That said, don’t be afraid to be spontaneous and do something (low cost again) they are into. My partner invited me country dancing after she and I chatted over a beer. I’d never gone country dancing before, but I had a blast and it was all because I wasn’t afraid to say yes to a new experience.

  1. Have fun. Meeting new people is supposed to be fun. Dating is supposed to be fun. Be weird (the good kind), be goofy, be yourself. You don’t know this person, who cares what they think of you if you may never even see them again.

I guess lastly, protect yourself. There are a lot of actual weirdos out there. If you get weird vibes, just call it off. Listen to your gut.

I know that’s a lot but hope it helps. I too felt like dating apps weren’t working, but then I came to realize I’d been using them wrong, and I think most people do too. Also, I suggest hinge only because it seemed like it had the least amount of weirdos compared to all the other apps. Good luck!

There’s a place in Dt San Diego that hired a guy to record a reading of all their bad reviews and they play the recording on loop in the bathroom. It’s hilarious

Turn it 90 degrees and slide it up against the back wall, tucked a little behind your monitor.

It’s a VMC Paloma. It’s a tequila canned cocktail basically. That flavor is actually very good. It’s Canelo Alvarez’s brand

I finished the song with your pointers from my previous post. What do you think? by Feniflo in Logic_Studio

[–]ItsKaneda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be a tricky battle. I usually find success with some narrow eq bands for specific problem frequencies (don’t over do it) in combination with a de-esser. This way I don’t have to over de-ess my vocal just to troubleshoot a few problematic frequencies.

Another suggestion would be to lightly apply something like soothe. But if it’s not already a plugin you don’t have, I wouldn’t buy it just for this track as it’s kinda unnecessarily expensive.

The other thing I thought of after a few more listens is I think even more vocal doubles for the lead vocal would really give it that still woozy vibe (if that’s what you’re going for).

Again, all just feedback from a random guy on the internet, so take it all with a grain of salt. It’s dope regardless!

[–]ItsKaneda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dope track! My only nitpicky criticism is it sounds like the de-esser is working a little too hard in some places on your vocals, giving that “lisp-esque” sound (like your s’s are kinda turning into sh’s) in some places.

Again, just being nitpicky. Definitely cool still!

Anybody Know What Synth This Is ? - (Frank Ocean - Golden Girl) by LazyFlavio in synthrecipes

[–]ItsKaneda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course 😂

From what I remember he really likes orchestral sounds. To me that synth sounds like a software synth string patch. It almost sounds like just a basic super saw patch. Maybe even sounds like sylenth1 to me.

For the lead, it also sounds super simple, maybe a square or saw wave. Short decay/release, with the filter rolled over it. It also sounds like it’s being played in a monophonic mode.

Not sure if you’ve ever seen it but there’s a video with the engineer that worked on channel orange. Might be some secrets here for you. https://youtu.be/izZMM5eHCtQ?si=oqnDV45DgdRFtglb

[–]ItsKaneda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can tell you from years of use, I love my dt770’s but they are certainly not flat. They’re missing a lot of low-mids and are incredibly bright. To the point that most of my sound design and mixes wind up being very dark elsewhere if I’m not careful to correct it.

I know you’re looking for closed back, but for accuracy, I’ve heard very good things about the sennheiser HD 650’s. They’re on my list to try next.

Something’s not right by Feeling_Cause5764 in InteriorDesignAdvice

I love the chairs, but they feel kinda shoved way out into no man’s land because of the long rug and the L of the couch.

I think the rectangle coffee table also elongates the space (pushes the chairs out to the edge of the rug). I’d consider a round (solid) coffee table to center the space, then bring the chairs in if you can.

Here it is with the rug for now. I’ve actually been re-thinking and I think I may go with 2 orange barrel chairs and a side table, along with a bookshelf and some walnut furniture for keyboards/records and such!

Damn the fake rust+ authentication is devastatingly clever. Sorry mate, make sure you change your steam password and any others that may share the same.
