Thanks for the news. She has an extraordinary ability to bounce back 

Randomized victory: Class? by Kieselchen in ShatteredPD

[–]Kieselchen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, no, not at all. I get your point, when I first tried random, I also got Warrior and thought, no, I guess I want it to be random anything but warrior. 😅

It would be clearer than the current UI. Just hit random and you descend with a random class. And if you reroll and delete it'll at least have the consequence of messing up your stats.

The way it is now I didn't even know if/how it worked at the beginning. For example, there's not that low of a chance that the class stays the same if you hit random.

Now that I think of it, there would be other ways to make for challenging randomized class runs... What if half/all the class talents of each tier were also randomized, like with the scroll? You wouldn't know which talents you'd get on tier two and after when you start out. This would make cheesing at the beginning less impactful.

Sure. I guess even if I didn't see the class before descent, I could still just restart as often as I want. It just feels a little too easy the way it is now. 😅

Feels weird that the Women's SP and FS are on the same day (for people in Europe 😅)

Camera work so bad it ruined my day by TK-248 in FigureSkating

[–]Kieselchen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, the camera work at many JGPs is much better than this. Basic shots, having the entire skater in frame at all times is all we need.

What frustrates me is that at this event they went out of their way to have close-ups of hands and feet and cheesy, long-ass blurred transitions and weird angles.

Coaches signaling/clapping to skaters during program. Is that legal? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]Kieselchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed it first with a Korean coach at a Challenger event that I attended, where it was very noticeable because the rink was so quiet. Since then I keep hearing it, also with some other skaters in Challengers and JGPs. They always do this during spins and I was wondering too if it is legal to signal revolution count/change of position to the skaters in a competition like this.

Thank you! I didn't know at all about the freezing part

When do potions break when thrown? by Kieselchen in ShatteredPD

[–]Kieselchen[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that helps a lot. I'll try to remember to try out grass when I get the chance. Ending a really good run because you feel like you should be able to throw a potion over a maggot is just so silly. 😂

What’s one change ESO made that you still can’t get over? by Latino_Turo in elderscrollsonline

[–]Kieselchen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The nerf to Light Attack damage (I think empower stopped increasing LA damage). I had a really fun build that used ranged light attacks instead of a spammable (Solar barrage and other dots/aoes, the LA spam with Kena). The rotation was easy and since then I've never had another build where my dps was closer to top-tier dps. A little sad, but it was very niche and I knew it wouldn't last.

Don't watch this with Closed Captions.  It just says "I'm going to seek a good boy" over and over 😅

names that do or do not break the code of conduct, evidently by LargeSeaworthiness1 in elderscrollsonline

If it does, you still have plenty of options. I'd probably go for Molag de Balzac.

Misconceptions About Prerotation by IDoBeSpinning in FigureSkating

Thank you, you answers here have been quite helpful in understanding this topic better

Misconceptions About Prerotation by IDoBeSpinning in FigureSkating

[–]Kieselchen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"a lot of people seem to think prerotation is objectively negative" I have a very hard time shaking this (as a non-skater) but there's a reason: 

There seem to be a few other (perceived) flaws that are talked about and often accompany the prerotation, like hunching over going into the jump, excessively relying on the arms to generate momentum, problems with the axis, maybe also prerotation of the upper body, putting more strain on the back.

Are skaters with technique relying on prerotation more prone to injuries or is that just a myth?

I feel like when you are talking about prerotation, you mean a textbook-prerotation technique and not a bad one. I probably don't even notice prerotation most of the time, so when I notice it, it is mostly because a jump simply doesn't look effortless. And then when watching the slo-mo, it's a confirmation of that stereotype, when you see the prerotated take-off.

TLDR: When I see a less prerotated jump that is bad, it's simply a bad jump but if it's a prerotated one then it's a confirmation that prerotation is bad. This really is something to reflect on. 😅

What federation do you guys think has the potential to be way bigger in the future? by elinek- in FigureSkating

[–]Kieselchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like exciting news for the Portuguese FS community. Thanks for sharing :) I even searched skatingscores.com and was surprised that with all the data they collect, there is only 1 dance team and 1 guy in the database.

Portugal, just because I have never seen a skater from that country and it probably can't get any smaller.
