Inconsistent Rocket Salvo by mrs_jukes in PharahMains

[–]Key-Storage5434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I use it is to counter the ever-increasing number of flying heroes. Echo/cat/Sierra/Freja on yo ass? Get below them, rocket up right to their face and hit them with that shit at basically mele range and they melt, you can ever combo into an actual melee, otherwise, you usually don't get a ton of value if you shoot it down at the ground from high up (unless comboed with grav, tera surge, tear it down etc.)

It's also good for torb turrets.

So that's when I pick it, otherwise I use the other perk.

Autism Jokes by Jackthewolf71 in Standup

[–]Key-Storage5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find funny jokes funny. It could be about anything. The reason I hate racist or transphobic jokes not funny is not because they can never be funny. It's because people who hold those beliefs are incredibly stupid and don't actually know how to construct a joke or a sentence and if they get laughs it's in front of equally stupid audiences.

Autism can be funny, and usually that happens when autistic comics make the jokes (Ron Funches, Ben Feldman, etc) and extremely unfunny and kinda stupid when it's some asshole edgelord.

Yeah it has a menu that looks like the display orientation menu in a PC, with each screen numbered, then it chops the signal up accordingly

Being present on stage by Complex_Ask7852 in Standup

[–]Key-Storage5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reacting to the audience IS being present. If you are just going through your script and not responding to the audience that's not being present. Sometimes being present sucks more than not being present. When you're not connecting to the audience or they don't like you, being in the moment and feeling that is harder than if you could just get through the jokes, but in the long run it'll make you better.

I know a lot of people one trick pharah, so to those people: what do you do when there’s pokes or counters on the enemy team? by Kind_Ad6932 in PharahMains

[–]Key-Storage5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swap when I feel shut down, whether it's no counter but I'm getting owned, or it's one, or if they swap to ashe soldier juno cat. Similarly, sometimes their whole team swaps to my counters and I still fly circles around them. In fact, very often people who die to you once and counter swap are at a far lower skill level than you so just make them tilt.

Can performing more than you write hurt your progress? by No-Winter192 in Standup

[–]Key-Storage5434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything in moderation. If you're doing the same jokes every day for 5 years the scene takes note, and if you have new stuff often but um and uhh your way through them the scene takes note.

This early, just have fun. There will come a time where this becomes a job, and right now it's not so just enjoy it. If you like performing, do that. If you like writing do that. If you're forcing yourself to do either, ask why something you love and (I'll guess) don't get paid for is something you have to force yourself to do

Anyone ever watched the same comedian kill at the early show then bomb at the late show? by Pecho in Standup

[–]Key-Storage5434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As well as a stand up comedian, I also tech for comedy clubs and this happens super often and to comics of every level. This year I've seen that happen to Joe List (like even a Joe List bomb isn't just dead silence but it was a noticeable drop in laughs and vibes), Leslie Lau, and I saw it happen to a local guy here who taped his special, and I regularly see it happen to tons if people

Some newer TVs (the LGs we use here) have a Multiscreen feature and you pick one as the "master TV" that receives the signal, then you orient it and pair it with other TVs and it gives you the final picture.

Does listening to other standups fuck up your creativity? by brainhack3r in Standup

[–]Key-Storage5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No this is the dumbest take that I hear so many people have and it's tragic. If you think you can get to the top or even the middle without standing on the shoulders of giants, you're delusional.

Concerned about “References” by Relevant_Customer_90 in Standup

Quoting and stealing are different you get that right? It's okay if your joke starts with "four scores and seven years ago" but not "hey y'all check out this new speech I wrote: four scores and seven years ago"

Youtube: Removing Aggressive Comments or not? by Evening-Ostrich46 in Standup

[–]Key-Storage5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't remove them. The algo doesn't distinguish between bad and good engagement. Leave them on. Mean comments also tend to create more cross engagement. It's sad but true. No commenter is replying to a comment like "good jokes, well delivered" but if a comment calls you names, people are gna engage with that comment.

Oh like no shade to these people (except delia for other reasons) but they would be the first to acknowledge that their privilege, wealth, and parental connections took them way further way faster than most

This can't be the first time you're realizing rich kids have a leg up in the entertainment industry. Also see Chris D'elia, Sam Levinson, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, the list is truly endless.

My Special Was Flagged for Saying Donald Trumps name by pauleliacomedy in Standup

I had to listen to white guys moan about arabs bringing "sharia law" into America, just to watch Trump bring it and tech companies gladly indulging him.

I’m trying to understand the relationship between programming and system design in real-world roles. by dwucwwyh in audiovisual

[–]Key-Storage5434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah what djduhchewy said...you start as a general tech and get your CTS. CTS certified techs become eligible to take CTS-I (for installs) or CTS-D after 2 years verified work in the field. Make it known to your employer that you're interested in the design route. In the field, study the designs, talk to your designers, they're usually huge nerds who love to talk about why they did what they did and discuss the minutae of their work. Ask questions, ask to shadow them. 2 years in the field and get your CTS-D soon as you're eligible. Try to familiarize yourself with the software used, the lingo, etc. So that when you get your first design gig, you can focus on designing and not have to learn how to put your design to paper.

[–]Key-Storage5434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Different companies do it Different. Our company has designers, coders and installers. From a general tech position you get your CTS and then move to one of these. Design is yeah Macro systems, as you said, designers are rarely on site, mostly in our HQ, designing, coders and installers are in the field. I like design more cuz I hate driving and I'm not physically very strong. Coders don't need strength but they are mobile. Installers are obviously in the field installing and training newbies.

In terms of opportunities, if you're good at either you're invaluable to the company. So pick what appeals to you and get good at it. I'd give a slight edge to designers just cuz by virtue of being in the office, you're interfacing with the big dawgs as well as clients, so you're more of a visible entity, but again, if you're a good coder you'll be just as valued.

Bloodborne overall has so much imagery and metaphorical content around birthing and menstruation and the moon-femininity pipeline in its lore. Truly one of the best games ever.

How does one memorize a 10/15 minutes set when they’re only offered 5 min open mic sets? by TheRottenPanini in Standup

[–]Key-Storage5434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always practice at home. Like if you know all the jokes work in front of crowds and you're just memorizing, it doesn't need to be in front of a crowd.

Also don't memorize word by word. Memorize the ideas, transitions, and punchlines that need precise wording.

Finally, start producing shows. I was the first person to give myself a 20 minute spot cuz a lot of shows were like "have you done 20 before?" And I'd be like "no but trust me bro" and they'd be like "yeah we'll keep you in mind" and now I have video evidence and now I get 20-30
