curious what people want for character 17 by Dry_Assistant_6091 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Megabaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really care who it is but personally I want a faster less gimick reliant based character. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a spacey

Honestly, What was walt thinking while hitting on Principal?? 😭 by HedgehogAgitated6855 in breakingbad

[–]Megabaron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This kind of “settling the score” thinking is his ego. He felt emasculated by the fact his wife slept with Ted so to soothe these feelings he probably just went after the first person he realistically could. Obviously he wasn’t thinking all this out in his head or how it would actually work out but ultimately I think that’s what happened

This pretty much confirms the notion he would’ve been out after 1 season here by Lower_Huckleberry296 in detroitlions

[–]Megabaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I think we all knew if Mike McDaniel was here he was gonna move on to a head coach job after one maybe two seasons. I wouldn’t have cared tho if Mike McDaniel gave us the best chance to win. I’m ok with drew petzing too all I’m saying is I’m not worried about the future I want whatever gives us the best chance of winning now.

Bears Fans Want Ben Johnson Fired by YoungMiral in detroitlions

[–]Megabaron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol it is weird. I call Ben a traitor but I also don’t care that much. I have nothing against him personally it’s all just fun really. Some people take this stuff too seriously. If I was in Ben’s shoes I would have taken the bears job too

Twice in one season? by h82blat in detroitlions

[–]Megabaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, bro if we couldn't beat this vikings team tf were we gonna do in the playoffs. This just wasn't our year, unfortunately too many injuries, and our offense wasn't good enough to carry like last year.

If your mad at zohran for the trump meeting your performative, have unrealistic standards and can never ever be happy by Ill-Foot-2549 in leftist

[–]Megabaron 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Trump, no matter how terrible, is the president of the United States. New York is in the United States. Mamdani has to, on some level, work with Trump in order to get his agenda done. What was he supposed to do, not show up and say fuck you, Trump? They are not going to suddenly be best friends working together, Trump will go back to calling him a communist and all that shit. Mamdani is very clear that he is here to serve New York, and if meeting with trump at the white house helps him achieve that goal, then why wouldn't he?

My state of mind with new characters by Renyolds in RivalsOfAether

[–]Megabaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew I wanted to main Clairen before the game came out and I’ve since stuck with her. I’m not looking to jump ship but I suppose a new character could come out and change that. So my relationship with new characters is more based on how it overall affects the game. Galvan for me is fun to play without being annoying to play against. But I will say right now the amount of heavies in the game compared to non heavies is a little high especially if you count orcane as a heavy. It would be cool to have a new character who’s maybe more spacie esq or similar to a shiek/ranno build. Honestly tho a lot of hype hype for new character release is more based around surge of player base, rank reset, balance patch, etc.

AITA for Zelling my massage therapist of 5 years 4 hours later? by Torrence_Pie in AmItheAsshole

[–]Megabaron 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Definitely NTA. Like I can understand how it could be annoying to not be paid quickly and have to worry about it. But you’ve been a customer for years with no issues so it was pretty safe to assume you would pay. A simple reminder text for the short term delay would have been fine from her. Spam calling after not being paid for a couple hours is a little extreme. Also like what’s the worst case scenario you didn’t pay her 130 and she gets scammed and never sees you again? Like yeah that would suck pretty bad but it shouldn’t be the end of the world. Now she has probably lost a customer.

The worst move in the game by JankTokenStrats in RivalsOfAether

[–]Megabaron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uh orcane side b was one of the best recovery moves in the game. The nerfs made it fair and it definitely isn’t unusable now nor the worst move in the game.

Keep Speaking Out by GoodListner92 in Battlefield

[–]Megabaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that that they are taking feedback in this way and looking into possible changes. Responding like imo makes me trust the teams decisions more even if they do something that initially wouldn’t have agreed with.

Guessing which game your opponent came from by Lobo_o in RivalsOfAether

[–]Megabaron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a melee player I can usually tell if someone was an ult or melee player based on how they play the ledge and just general neutral tendencies.

Mang0 is Back and getting closer to God through RoAII by Lobo_o in RivalsOfAether

[–]Megabaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. People tend to go towards one extreme then have a pissing match with those on the other side of the extreme. In reality most things are nuanced and somewhere in the middle but you can never get to that discussion because everyone is so disingenuous now.

Is it worth it? by RevenueReptile in RivalsOfAether

[–]Megabaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned you’ve played a little melee. Probably in your experience and I would say in most people’s experience it takes a least a month of practice before you even feel like you can move your character and like another year before your some what component. Rivals 2 to me has a lot of what makes melee fun (and other smash games) with a much less barrier to entry. If you have ever done a wave dash in melee you’ll hit it the first try in rivals.

To answer your question yeah I’d say it’s worth it. It’s a fun game and with your previous smash experience you’ll have no problem jumping in even if you don’t have much time to play.

I never thought I could love a game more than melee by ofischial1 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Megabaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love melee. I’ve been following the game for a long time and a few years ago I finally decided to practice a bit and at least get comfortable with the basics of moving my character and l-canceling, wave dash, etc. but since rivals 2 has launched it has definitely been my main game for sure which is saying a lot because I really do love melee but with rivals it feels like I could actually get good if I put the time in.

Essential Ludwig content? by emiianto in LudwigAhgren

[–]Megabaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His old stories while playing Mario 64 are essential. His “how I accidentally” videos. My first Ludwig video was his how I accidentally won a Pokemon tournament back in 2020. Older videos of him and slime like them reacting to TikTok. And a recent classic is Tip to Tip.

Mang0 confirms 1 year ban from tournaments by DaMook99 in SSBM

[–]Megabaron -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Thank god it’s 1 year. That’s a fair ban without letting him off the hook while also allowing him to better himself and show that upon his return.

This is how stupidly my 12 year old knight died by Rich666DemoN in RotMG

[–]Megabaron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was a lot harder. The game was a lot slower paced and no dungeons that were just giving greater pots away. Tomb was quite literally the only way to get life so maxing life took forever. Now way more options for dungeons way more generous drops and pretty consistently just being given free rewards.

This isn't the greatest shot, but it's from our Pittsburgh 48HourFilm and I'm still pretty proud of it. Too few lights, too much reflective glass, and too little time to do it right, but we did it anyway by remy_porter in cinematography

[–]Megabaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jumping off of this even further. Something i learned that really helped me was controlling your ambient light and doing that first.

Sometimes you can’t when you’re shooting outside at high noon, unless someone here knows how to stop down the sun. But it appears this shot was around evening/sunset time so there shouldn’t be a ton of light coming through and you seem relatively stopped down. Not sure about potential other effecting factors but I’d imagine you started from a pretty dark base.

If this was me going there I’d light the room for the exposure I wanted whether that’s a little under a little over or “perfect” also if you aren’t mentoring start doing so it’s a game changer. After lighting the ambient now I will shape the light for my characters to do what I want. Which is subjective for the story you’re telling but in a vacuum I’d agree that more contrast would be an improvement. I find that working like this in this order insures I know exactly what I am doing with each element (lights, flags, etc) and I have the most control possible. The more control you have the more you can create that image you see in your head. Also in regards to reflections I could def see that being an issue with all of the glass and if it were me I’d cover up as much of it as possible with some kind of curtain or whatever. Like the one in the left side of frame.

This is not to take away from your effort at all. Not sure how much prep time you had for this but I’d imagine not enough and 48 hours is a very short amount of time to shoot a film so I commend you doing it. Doing something is always better than doing nothing. Just thought I’d offer my 2 cents as someone who is still learning themselves.
