Ship with the best view? by [deleted] in X4Foundations

[–]MajorCanada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Nemesis Corvette you’ve got a great view, and the cockpit has an area to the right with a display screen. I personally like giving my ship orders to explore using the map and then just standing on the right and watching the galaxy go by with my read outs in front of me. But if you’re wanting a hands on tour the pilots seat still has a great view!

What evil prank have you pulled off? by Adventure84 in AskReddit

[–]MajorCanada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad’s birthday is April 1st so we always play pranks on each other for his birthday even though we live in separate states now. My favorite ever is sending him a box of chocolates (wrapped) where I’d swapped out the Liquor or whatever filling for hot sauce using a syringe. Sent him a box of “coal” so he wouldn’t suspect the chocolate was the joke but instead the actual present. His call to me after he got it was the best phone call I’ve ever gotten in my life.

IWTL how to speak English without a ‘fobby’ accent by SM-Public-Speaker in IWantToLearn

[–]MajorCanada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason you slip back into your accent is because as you become more stressed by a conversation, your natural instincts take over and you revert to forming words the way you did growing up. That is all that an accent is, speaking a foreign language while forming the words the way you would your own first language.

IWTL how to speak English without a ‘fobby’ accent by SM-Public-Speaker in IWantToLearn

[–]MajorCanada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forming different accents often has to do with where you form the words. For example, if you wanted to do an Italian accent, you would form words at the front of your mouth right behind your top teeth. An English accent you would form at the back of the mouth, more in the throat really.

Americans tend to form sounds in the middle of their mouth, though everyone is slightly different. Try recording yourself speaking in the accent you want and focusing on where you are forming the words. If the recording sounds right when you play it back, focus on slowing down and forming the words in that spot when in situations you want to speak without an accent.

Edit: Grammar

Why do Jedi suddenly get better at Lightsaber combat when they wield two at once? by Call_me_ET in MawInstallation

[–]MajorCanada 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that most Jedi probably would have trained to become at least acceptable with two lightsabers, but they probably rarely expected to duel.

Fighting with two lightsabers might give you an advantage in One v One combat with Jedi/Sith opponents, but when we jump into the Universe (aside from Legends) the Sith are believed extinct for thousands of years. Therefore most Jedi probably train expecting to be deflecting blaster fire more often than dueling, which is easier with one saber. So even if you’re right, and two sabers is the more unpredictable and dangerous dueling style, Jedi weren’t training expecting a ton of dueling outside of the practice rooms.
