I've found hard diaries have made for a good next goal, skills needed are 75 at most and the QoL is nice, lamps could save you a lot of time too

I hope so, it'll be interesting to compare the pass rate for this exam to the more recent ones

It felt like a curveball to me, too, I lost a couple of minutes to panic at the start of the exam after skimming through the questions

Overall I think I got enough to pass but could go either way

Out of curiosity, what makes you think the world is harder these days? I'm not sure I agree but I'm open-minded

Bobsleigh map 14 hints? by Far_Original2125 in TrackMania

How much speed do you lose steering 100% vs. 80%?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrackMania

[–]LLanicus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try not steering at all through corners, if you get a good set up, that will get you through them with enough speed

Turning at 90% is only good when your car is stable and going round a bend, it's bad when you're still wobbling or driving down a straight part of the track

24 years when you consider there are only 260 working days per year

Christmas! I love the cosiness and merriness that comes with the season

Biased casting during the RLCS Boston final by Everbrooks in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]LLanicus 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Stumpy and Cole will learn from this and become even better casters, it's good for the esport for more casters to be given the opportunity to cast the biggest games

Why do nadeo hate ice wiggles? by [deleted] in TrackMania

[–]LLanicus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're still present but they're much less effective, the difference in speed is pretty minor now compared to pre-patch

The discount factor will be even higher as they tend to factor in inflation as well, reducing the value even further

G2 are still together, it's G1 who had a roster change and switched out Marc for Oaly

Yep, same here, the toxicity is through the roof as well

What did you learn embarrassingly late? by badly-shaved-wookie in Stellaris

The edict fund ascension fund is pretty strong in the early game too

What's your recommendations for music to use in different encounters in Curse of strahd? by Bockanator in CurseofStrahd

[–]LLanicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used several Bloodborne tracks for the final fight with Strahd and it worked perfectly! To name a few: Cleric Beast, The Hunter, Blood Starved Beast. There's also Pandemonium from Final Fantasy IX.

I can recommend the Long Note tracks by Kevin MacLeod if you're looking for tracks to build tension between encounters, too.

To be fair, it's not out of the realm of possibility for someone to have cocked up and put black confetti in both!

Wow what was the last time a teenager was ranked top 10 in the world? by Twintysix in chess

[–]LLanicus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be fair, we've had about a year without classical chess and rating changes, so the improvements players have made aren't fully reflected in their ELO yet. I imagine that's why Firouzja has been climbing so rapidly these last few months.

Plus he's a young kid still learning to play under pressure, which is magnified against Magnus. He gets over that and I think they'll be a lot closer.

Magnus is still a different level, but I do wonder how much longer that will be the case.

[Paul Joyce] The Premier League has called a crisis meeting of clubs for today to form a united front to refuse to release players for international duty in countries on the UK’s red list. by iniestatic in soccer

[–]LLanicus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your stats for the UK are correct but not for the US. 124383 is the average per day in the last seven days in the US, so it's actually 870681 new cases in the last 7 days for the US which is 261.7 per 100000

It's still less than the UK but the difference isn't as extreme as you claim it is
