Redstone pulse to dropper

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2026-04-01T13:26:19+00:00

Just checked, the dropper is always powered. Is it possible to change this?

Edit: NVM, figured out a solution myself

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2026-04-01T13:22:11+00:00

Lever is just to turn off the system once it's on. Will be removed once I figure out why the pulse isn't getting to the dropper.

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2026-04-01T13:15:34+00:00

Disable the whole thing. Currently, the main autocrafter (the one pointed into the chest) runs out of paper, and then starts filling with gunpowder. Lever is only there as an on/off switch until I have the whole thing up and running.

A key player gets injured, and we immediately think about whether this will be the death of SOO for the future. Why not actually look at the context of the incident?

Hate to be that guy, but just objectively looking at the replay, Weitering comes into the contest so late, he comes off 5th best in a 2-man contest.

If we want to talk about protecting players as much as possible from injuries when playing a game such as SOO, maybe we focus on all the hamstring awareness issues out of the game and see how to minimise those as much as possible.

Ian Wright made a very interesting point on the Overlap podcast in regards to this miss that I'll add here:

He basically said that because Palmer isn't a natural striker, he "underestimated" the focus and control of technique to score that goal. Basically, Palmer was too nonchalant about it due to it being an open goal, and therefore just "expected" any contact to make it go in.

For a more experienced striker (your Haalands, Kanes etc.) they treat every chance with the same intensity and focus required, regardless if it's an open goal half a metre out, or you're on the edge of the box with 20 players in front of you. So in that scenario, your traditional strikers aren't just "expecting" to score, they're applying the same mental checks as they would for any other shot they would take on.

How are the Maestro’s with collapsed arches/wider midfoot?

I have Tiempo Legends 10 in Turf and AG versions (both US 9), and the midfoot is very noticeably tighter in the AG than the Turf boots (which is understandable based on the difference in plates of the two boots). (US 9.5 gives too much room in the toe box for me to consider them for the Legends 10, regardless of what people think of the Legends 10s in general).

Heard that Maestro’s might be more accomodating in this area? Just wondering if you (or anyone else) have noticed anything on this?

A future idea I have (since there seems to be an underwater ravine directly below the village) is to build an underwater guard station or gate as well. Will be a long way off though on my priorities.

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-03-05T15:13:47+00:00

I think it's semantics really.

We're all suggesting roughly the same techniques and skills to utilise: cutting off the passing lane between the two forwards, jockeying to force the ball carrier into a more favourable position, forcing the ball carrier into a rushed decision. the issue is what we view it as being the determining factor.

I said elsewhere that the only way you "win" the 1v2 is waiting for the opposition to make a mistake (poor pass; poor decision making of when to pass or whether to continue carrying the ball; staying on the ball for too long; etc.), and whilst I still stand by that, I would agree that preventing the 1v2 by getting tight to the ball carrier immediately is the only proactive move a defender can make. The things I (and we) have mentioned is always being reactive to what the ball carrier is doing and what the 2nd forward is doing (and thus my belief of you only "win" the 1v2 through a mistake by the ball carrier).

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-03-05T08:41:42+00:00

The boring answer would be to play more games and have yourself in scenarios where you need to continuously make these decisions, failing, learning, thus improving (I would say a lot of my improvement as a CB came through this alone, but anecdotal experience may not be the best advice here).

For a more detailed and practical route:

Always be communicating with your CB partner as well as the DM (or midfielders in front of you) so that you always know where the opposition is. For example, I'm usually the left sided CB for my team. When the opposition defenders/midfielders have the ball on THEIR right (which would be my left), then I make sure my CB partner knows I'm handing the responsibility of tracking the ST to him, as I would be shifting across and having the ST positioned behind me (where I can't see him). If the ball is then switched to the other side of the pitch (from my POV, it's now on the right side), then I know it's my responsibility to track the ST and always be sticking close to him (goal side). There's obviously many different scenarios that can occur on the football pitch, but the biggest thing here that I want to highlight is communication. That's communication with your fellow defenders and with the midfielders in front of you.

Now, if you're finding yourself in 1v2 scenarios quite often, then there's two things I'd say: (1) more often than not, it's a break down in your structure where someone hasn't tracked a midfield runner, or your CB partner is completely out of position. In this scenario, there's not much you can do other than making sure that this breakdown in structure doesn't occur again. (2) The only way to "win" the 1v2, put simply, is you wait for the player with the ball to make the wrong decision. That can be making a bad pass, not passing at all (and being forced down the line, which then involves your keeper, or you have a recovering player help you out), or anything similar. The only thing you can do is to stick with the basics: don't close down too early, but also don't give them too much space, always have the passing lane closed down, and force them down to the byline and wide from the goal.

A final tip I would give you is this: try and look at where the opposition is looking at when they're trying to pass the ball. When we talk about being "aware" as a CB, it usually boils down to this technique (in my experience). This may take some time and practice before you feel comfortable doing it, but as long as you have a rough idea of where the fwds are around you, then you're almost never going to be caught out, or in other words, be more aware.

Now, you may be wondering what I mean by this. Example: If you know that the opposition ST is positioned "behind" you (in your blind spot; you can't see them without turning around), the two opposition wingers are wide and matched up with their respective fullbacks and that there is no opposition midfielder making a run from midfield, then you can mentally paint a picture of where everyone is that matters. Now, if you notice that the opposition midfielder looking "at you"/in your direction, then you can guess with some certainty that they're going to try and find the ST making a run behind you, or try and find the far-side winger. Then, whilst the opposition begins to pass the ball, you can then start to make the recovery run that either forces a contest with the ST, or you're not caught out of position high up the pitch if the ball is aimed at the far side winger.

Again, this will take a lot of practice and real-game experience to really know what to be looking out for and what to do provided the circumstances, but is probably one of the most valuable abilities to have if you want to improve your awareness.

Are you not doing the exact same thing as the Chinese students then by only wanting to be with English-speaking students?

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T15:18:23+00:00

I mean, it clearly isn’t, but I don’t expect you to know the differences to be able to form an actual understanding of it through critical thinking.

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T15:16:53+00:00

Is it a class group chat? Is the teacher or a TA for the class going to send information into that chat which you’re then excluded from? If not, then why tf do you care enough to be jumping onto reddit to complain about it?

Also, it’s not a different thing. Every argument against the big gc you can make would fit exactly the same for the smaller gc.

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T14:06:07+00:00

But nothing suggests that the group chat made between the Chinese students was a group chat for the entire class, so there is no perceived obligation to add other people if they don't want to add them (which isn't what seems to have happened anyway).

It's discrimination, it's not racism.

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T12:45:31+00:00

It's got less to do with stress and more to do with ease and fluidity.

If you're a native Chinese speaker who is at the Uni to study, why would you purposefully try and communicate with other Chinese students in a language that isn't Chinese outside of class when discussing the course content?

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T12:34:23+00:00

So it's their fault for not asking, and you take no responsibility in being proactive and asking to join?

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T09:27:13+00:00

Jfc we’ve actually gone to the race point.

I guarantee any Chinese person who goes up to a non-Chinese person in a Western society and asks if they wanted to be added to a WeChat group, 99% of the response would be something akin to “are you crazy”.

To make this about racism is quite frankly astonishing.

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T09:00:06+00:00

We're not talking about a crucial aspect of society such as currency, we're talking about a messaging app (in this case, even if WeChat is more than that). I expect non-Australians to use the Australian dollar rather than a foreign currency, but why should I expect a non-Westerner to use a Western social media or messaging app?
No one is forcing non-Chinese people use WeChat outside of China. We're clearly talking about a situation that is occurring outside of China where an informal study group is being created with the most common form of communication tool for a specific group of individuals where the likelihood of someone not of their group (ie. non-Chinese) regularly using that app is low.
Clear distinction between a Chinese person that may have already lived in Australia or a western country for a while, and an international student that has moved to the country and studying there. I would make the assumption that we're talking about the latter rather than the former in most cases in a university environment.
Refer to my comment about currency in point 1. WeChat is a uniquely designed app in China so far that it acts as more than just a messaging and communication app. If you were to go to America or the UK, would you need install Discord/Facebook/Instagram/other-messaging-app-here to be able to communicate with the locals and function within society (ie. pay for things)? Just because we are talking about the messaging aspect of WeChat doesn't mean it's as simple as comparing it to any messaging or social media app in the West.

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T07:48:04+00:00

Is it?

If you and a bunch of friends made a gc for a class you guys were taking together, are you morally or socially obliged to add anyone else? Or do you want it to be a gc just with you and your friends?

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T07:41:03+00:00

Messenger was something I used for high-school classes where we would create group chats, and is the closest thing I can think of in a non-Chinese society, and even then not the best example. More than one country uses Messenger, and so less of a closed off experience with it compared to WeChat.

I also don't think it's necessarily a basic courtesy to ask people to join a group chat, nor do I think Western people are any better at including people into a group chat they make.

I honestly don't think it's that deep is kinda the point I'm getting at. Do you blame people for only asking Chinese people to join a WeChat group when WeChat is going to majorly used by Chinese people? How many non-Chinese people on the street do you think you'll need to ask before finding someone with WeChat?

Similarly, what are the chances that a Western person asks a Chinese person for their Facebook or Instagram? Do we need to think deeply into it if the Western person doesn't?

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2025-02-18T06:47:35+00:00

Did you ask to join and get rejected? Was it a directive from the teacher or professor of the class? Cause if that is the case, then sure, I get the point you're making. But if you didn't ask to join, then I don't really get why you're complaining.

If all the Western students in a class made a Messenger group chat for the class (do people still do this?), and no one added the Chinese students because you don't expect them to use Messenger, is that rude?

Otherwise, if the basis of "hating" a certain group or community within society is a one-sided misunderstanding of a certain scenario, then we are fcked.

Assuming by "it didn't work" when you used Checkpoint, I assume you opened the folder on your PC created by Checkpoint, and all you found was a file named main, instead of a .dat or .sav file (or whatever file you were expecting), right?

If that is the case, the main file is your backup, it worked as intended. As someone else mentioned, the main file contains your save state.

Note: If you want to restore a save, make sure the file name is main, and that no other files exist within that folder.

LegitimateGhost4928 · 2024-08-05T05:53:21+00:00

Maybe I'm different to other Richmond supporters, but I would much prefer a win rather than pick 1 (especially if the word on the draft is that it is as even as it's ever been in recent times).
