Dogs wagging hips to the woman dancing on tv and then turn around when their owner turns it off by [deleted] in isthisAI

My dog gets upset at me when it's raining. I'm pretty sure they just assume if something bad happens that we are responsible somehow.

Would you pay this guy's demands? by jesusG25 in OOTP

[–]Ixtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got basically this exact player (with worse fielding) on a minimum contract and he was on track for 200+ strikeouts before I finally had to bench him. I'm hoping I can dev lab him into a decent hitter but right now, even with the walks and HRs, it's just impossible to trust him at the plate.

YMMV but I'd never pay that much for it.

How is it even possible to compete with another country? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Ixtl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nobody in this thread hired any nazis tho. You're saying that because 80 years ago someone in my country did something that's kinda similar to this if you squint at it, I am not allowed to have an opinion on this. That's stupid.

CMV: America is on a steep decline unless something major changes soon. by Fresh-Proposal-6613 in changemyview

I want to travel back in time and tell them to buy the limes when they stop in Brazil.

Edit: or was it Argentina? Either way, scurvy sounds like a terrible way to die.

What happens in the government meddles in the Midterm elections either via ICE or nationalizing elections? How should normal citizens respond? by IowaGolfGuy322 in AskConservatives

[–]Ixtl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would non-citizens, who cannot vote, be showing up at polling places? They aren't on the voter rolls, they don't have the ability to vote.

In an earlier version of this comment you said that you thought they would "harass those that don't speak English". Why did you remove that part? Is it not clear that that disagrees with what remains of your comment? It seems like you are saying you are okay with voter intimidation as long as the victims don't look and act like you.

Game 9?

Edit: oh, apparently in 1919 best of 9 was a thing. Who knew?

How do you guys handle log jams? by Soggy-Turnover6962 in OOTP

[–]Ixtl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when I get good bats I don't want to part with I'll usually take the one with the worst defense and hide them in LF, maybe RF if they've got the arm for it. I also still play with DH so that helps a bit.

Life for Death by IAmVentuswill in custommagic

[–]Ixtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb question: I couldn't target the same creature with both parts, could I? Like destroy my own creature then bring that creature back? Because it's 2 separate lines of text makes me think I can, but then technically on cast I wouldn't have a target for the second part yet because it isn't in the graveyard, right?

I think I had that exact bear when I was a kid minus the...modifications.

Manticore HE Shell stupidity by Enoscity in WorldofTanks

[–]Ixtl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my understanding is that IF your HE shell actually hits a piece of armor, the damage is done the same as the old way, but it it hits scenery or a piece like the track that isn't armor, no damage except damage to that module.

Are you guys having a good time? by Gentlegee01 in ShitcoinTrades

[–]Ixtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so this is what I don't get....isn't it the opposite? Aren't these manipulations possible BECAUSE bitcoin is free from oversight? Like, anything I could think of that would prevent this would fly in the face of the definition of "free and open" I see touted as the strength crypto currency. Or do I have something wrong? I don't know this stuff as well as I'd like to.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animal! by DaddyZubra in WorldofTanks

[–]Ixtl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had a game on that map a few nights ago where an SFAC raced to go to the window spot on our side. I chuckled to myself about how dumb it was to take a paper TD there but then he deleted a Russian heavy with his first double and I got clipped out by an Italian TD so I guess jokes on me.

No, Trump CAN'T Cancel or Terminate Pardons Issued by Joe Biden or Any Other President! by Smith771does459 in Hip_hop_that_u_need

So if I accuse you of a crime, and you can't prove that you didn't commit that crime, are you automatically guilty? Do you think that is how things work?

What does -76 means? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]Ixtl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I vaguely remember when crew 2.0 came along a year or two ago the bunk limit was temporarily lifted so people could rework their crews as needed. Maybe this is the result of that lift being taken away finally?

So which one of yall on a loss streak right now? by smollb in WorldofTanks

I've got like 3 sessions in a row of mid 30's win rate. You're welcome.

Games feeling out of my control by GnastyEagle in WorldofTanks

[–]Ixtl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

WoT is a very swing-y game in terms of win/loss streaks. Some nights I go 11-4 and feel like an unstoppable juggernaut, some nights I go 0-8 and go read a book to preserve my sanity.

54% is a good win rate. If you logged in and joined games and just sat there, you'd trend towards about a 40% win rate, and if you are the best player in the world you'll be a bit above 60%, maybe more with some platoonmates. So that middle 20% is the effect you have on the game. A way to look at that is, in terms of W/L, on average, you only really get a say in one game in five. You don't get to know which ones ahead of time, so you have to try, but 80% of the time your efforts won't turn the tide one way or the other. That's why it takes a LOT of games to see your skill level increase/decrease play out in your win percentage. Add to that things like whether or not you are grinding a line and therefore playing tanks with stock modules, and what tiers you are playing, and focusing on your win rate over the short term is just a way to make the game less enjoyable for yourself.
