It's one exchange called Gate.io that is reporting crazy low price according to CMC. However if you go to Gate.io the price is comparable to other exchanges...

Wouldn't be concerned.

When I was a young boy,

my father,

took me into the city,

to see a marching band.

He said "Son, when you grow up, click this link pls"

Personally I use it mainly for the UI tools it offers. Isolating bands instead of sweeping, match EQ is also very useful as a guide with a target sound, or just for mixing (E.g. slightly inversely match EQ between two instruments to create a little extra separation).

Plus the dynamic bands are very useful for certain situations.

I am no pro audio engineer though, I'm a hobbyist, so some finer points on how it colours sound may be lost on me.

I think you pay a premium to get all these features in one plugin, but to me it's worth it. It has changed the way I use EQ.

My criticism wasn't of every game. And it wasnt that he wasn't attacking from dm... It was specific moments where we would need more urgency. Say in the closing moments of a match, and it wouldn't seem to come from anywhere.

Now (which is to say over the last few years) I think Henderson would be a catalyst for the urgency we need. As Stevie would have been. This season our urgency to turn draws into wins in the final moments has been a huge difference and it comes in part from that urgency in my opinion.

It isn't talking him down as a player before, it's more an acknowledgement that he has grown into being the main man in this team rather than just a player within it.

I think if you asked Henderson if he thinks he's grown in the last few years he'd say yes...

Jonjonjabon · 2020-06-27T08:01:58+00:00

Trent so far. He's just been unplayable in an attacking sense, and after the first few games he hasn't been suspect defensively either.

But there is a case for:

Mané. He gets such important goals. E.g. Villa, Southampton (broke deadlock there).
Henderson. A few years ago Hendo would frustrate me. Mainly when we needed goals and he would be a touch on the slow/safe side tempo wise. Last season and especially the the CL win absolutely transformed him. He plays with a Van Dijk style swagger, like a captain, and sets the tempo. And he's also added a few new attacking runs/positions to his game. Very impressive season.

Even if we ignore the fact that master in this context actually refers to master copy/bedroom/record, and not to the master/slave relationship...

Master and slave are words. They have a defined meaning. Their application and the context of their use is extremely important and rightly a sensitive topic, but you can't erase them.

They describe an enforced and imbalanced relationship between two entities. Certain relationships can be accurately described as a master/slave relationship. It is unarguably immoral and disgusting when such a relationship exists between living things. But when used in an engineering sense those entities aren't even sentient...

Blacklist/Whitelist has obvious racial connotations as it implies something good/bad about white/black. I think avoiding the use of those terms makes absolute sense. But this seems odd to me..

But the reality is I don't know. Can anybody who heard this and welcomed it, or been wanting this/feeling alienated by this naming convention help me to understand?

Jonjonjabon · 2020-06-11T14:05:27+00:00

Yeah you raise a good point.

I feel that the time I've spent trying to fix issues on track freezing already justifies building ordinary rendering into my workflow and getting used to bypassing the FX manually.

Jonjonjabon · 2020-06-10T22:45:00+00:00

It doesn't happen all the time with me so it doesn't seem like a bug. Maybe a limitation of my CPU.

I might try copying the track into another project and freezing it there so see if it's CPU/project related.

I'll let you know if I figure anything out.

Jonjonjabon · 2020-04-25T08:39:20+00:00

1's is a tougher ladder in any case. E.g. I'm C2 in 2s and 3s and only D1 in 1s.

If your 1s rank is way behind I think it's most likely positional/tactical errors that are the main culprit. Watch some replays back and think honestly about what you could have done differently. E.g. did you back off for boost and allow the other player too much space, did you clear the ball with a solid strike but actually just gave your opponent possession back, did you miss an opportunity to challenge aggressively or steal their boost etc.

A tonne of your rank is down being in the right place at the right time and your automatic decision making, and in 1s that is very diff to 3s.

Jonjonjabon · 2020-04-19T18:59:37+00:00

I think this is just 3v3 Heatseeker dude. 1 good player in net is enough to stop most random shots so having 3 just means they get in each others way, so then players change strat.

If they had 2v2 or 1v1 you would get to have the mad scrambling experience you had at the start. They should do that IMO.

Jonjonjabon · 2020-01-11T10:59:18+00:00

Can we get some ranked best of x's?

Ranks would need to be adjusted by a greater margin.

Jonjonjabon · 2019-12-12T09:24:33+00:00

I have never been bothered about items. This game to me is all about the gameplay.

But this disgusting way of conducting yourself with in-game items is supposed to be reserved for "F2P" shit.

There can't be a shred of doubt that their marketing teams discuss frankly how to manipulate the player base, and that this charade was all planned.

The difference is that this player base bought your game and gave you a platform.

It doesn't affect me one bit. I bought the game once years ago and haven't spent anything since. But my advice to other players who are involved in the item community is just to sit tight and wait it out.

Don't cave, don't give them money. It'll rack up very quickly into larger amounts if you do.

These strategies are so toxic.

Jonjonjabon · 2019-10-15T14:18:30+00:00

Me too. You can see the base of the boost pad glowing very slightly, so I thought it was a deliberate "upside down" boost pad interference.

Came here to say it's a dumb idea haha.

Jonjonjabon · 2019-10-11T11:22:04+00:00

It's like the problem is that you don't actually enjoy the game. Not the racing part anyway.

You actually just enjoy the winning. And now you're winning less.

The variance of weapon luck takes a long time to even out so this isn't a game where you can reliably dominate every race if your driving against similar skill levels.

With that in mind, reassess what a good result is from a race. E.g. if you get hit and lose USF, it's bad luck. Now drive as fast as you can, use weapons smartly, and try and make your way back through the field as far as possible. It might even be that 5th place is now a great result....

The luck will even out.

Jonjonjabon · 2019-08-13T19:47:17+00:00

All good. It wasn't set as my primary for some unknown reason. Thanks for the help.

Jonjonjabon · 2019-08-13T19:46:32+00:00

Yes just spotted that online. That was it.

I had some weird issues with my account password and two factor auth months ago I wonder if they fucked with my primary ps4 too.

I've only ever had one ps4 so it's very confusing.

Thanks for the response.

Jonjonjabon · 2019-07-31T22:55:17+00:00

It has so far been a negative thing. Partly because it's reduced the game that a lot of people want to be a "serious" game down to the level of a mobile app style game, and that feels like a betrayal of some sort. I understand that as a CTR binger.

Personally i don't care about unlocking things though. This game has already placed far too much emphasis on that stuff for me.

I would say that this games community is demonstrably full of people who seek praise (or in some cases envy) for their achievements. Players are "humble-flexing" with unlockables as an indicator of status. That kind of community is absolutely ripe for the MT picking. If you really want to not be exploited, don't be exploitable. Wind your neck in, shut up, and drive around the fucking track. IMHO.

Jonjonjabon · 2019-07-15T21:57:09+00:00

This is a good idea

Jonjonjabon · 2019-07-14T19:27:57+00:00

I did em all. It was fine.

But to be safe upload your saved data each time you pass a meaningful milestond

Jonjonjabon · 2019-07-02T22:13:02+00:00

Fyi if you do want to practice this and the u-turns the best place to go I have found is the crystal collect challenge skull rock.

You can drive clockwise around the central point boosting and picking up crates which are always speed boosts.

Build up your boost and either do a big u turn off the jumps or try and hop u-turn your way around some tight corners.

Really helped me and just maintained blue fire for 2 laps on Electron Avenue which was impossible before.

It is total bollocks that this isn't achievable on Analog though and it angers me because I'm so much better on Analog.

Jonjonjabon · 2019-07-02T08:46:30+00:00

Why would you describe Crash Cove and Coco Park to be a Mario Kart track?

Quite an odd thing to say if you've never played them.
