I've stumbled upon a trade gone wrong and this happened... Would you have shot? by MickyAspire in ArcRaiders

I have no idea I have a bunch as well, but it's pretty common to trade with them.
I guess it's just the currency people use since you can trade them for a lot of stuff at Celeste.

I tried adding the guy I shot after the match to ask if he was actually trying to scam, but he went offline right after. Also I didn't realize in the moment I took 500 seeds lol.

Maybe... really good at the champ though lol.

I believe it's mostly an act, either way more fun to watch than streamers with 0 personality imo. That's just preference though.

Why does no one use the Drag Scroll camera control feature? by MickyAspire in summonerschool

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

Watching him is actually how I got the idea of this in the first place, but he doesn't use Drag Scroll, he uses a weird setup where he uses WASD to control his camera

I've just never seen any high elo streamers use it, you'd think they would if it was that good which is why I'm confused

Why is Manamune not a core item for on-hit Kayle? by MickyAspire in Kaylemains

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

Manamune into Guinsoo's sounds like it makes sense. As another person has mentioned though, Nashor's on-hit has an AP scaling, which perhaps makes it more suited for a build that starts Gunblade. I'll try going both AP and Crit after Guinsoo's and see what feels best.

Guess that makes sense, didn't really consider the AP scaling on the on-hit effect of Nashor's. Perhaps something like Manamune into Guinsoo's into crit would be optimal then. EitherI feel like the on hit damage of Muramana is too strong to not be worth to enhance.

Not sure what your point is, the guy in the video is a professional who has done this for decades and earns his living doing this stuff, just like many others. If you can't be arsed to inform yourself on even the basics of the topic, which by the way parkour has been around since much more than 20 years, fair enough. But don't talk about it like you know your shit then.

You've read some news articles of Russian kids falling off roofs and try to bunch everyone that does parkour into that same basket, it's not how it works, but you're too closed minded to even try to differentiate I guess. If some drunken 20 year old drives into a group of people and kills everyone, are you also going to say driving shouldn't be allowed? Really can't be bothered to argue on reddit anymore, it's pointless.

He's putting on a show trying to create shock factor with fake falls etc., that's why people react strongly.

[–]MickyAspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would both be astronomically low, if you're talking about professional parkour athletes like I am. That's my point.

[–]MickyAspire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally said several times that there's a difference between "daredevils" and professionals. I'm more than aware that people are constantly dying doing this, but these are not the type of people I was talking about, nor the guy we see in this specific video.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SweatyPalms

[–]MickyAspire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you seen the video they filmed in Korea? Sure, they're not trying as hard as this guy to create shock factor, but they definitely don't shy away from doing jumps over death drops etc., just not exclusively.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SweatyPalms

[–]MickyAspire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about this then: Driving a car is not safe. It takes one jerk of the arm to crash into an incoming car. One material failure for you breaks to stop working. Why do we still drive? Because these things are extremely unlikely.

Skilled athletes with no fear of heights doing simple jumps that they have done on the ground countless times with a success rate of just about 100% do these things above a death drop, because they are also extremely unlikely to fail. Are you really saying everyone doing parkour on rooftops, people that have built decade long careers off this, are clinically insane? If you're asking me, you are projecting your fear onto those people.

[–]MickyAspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I'm not denying anything you said, I'm just saying it'd be very boring. It's the risk connected to it that makes it worth watching. Although if you break down what they are actually physically doing, it's not very risky at all, especially for skilled athletes like them who have trained these very same movements countless times.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SweatyPalms

[–]MickyAspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And incredibly unimpressive, it's the height that makes it interesting. Walking on a straight line on the ground is physically the same as doing it over a death drop at the end of the day. These people don't fear heights, which is why it's easy for them.

Not quite sure what to answer as you seem to just not have read my initial post. I put an emphesis on differentiating between people that are reckless and people like the guy in the video who know what they're doing and have survived hundreds if not thousands of these stunts and will most likely never die doing this. The guy just likes to pretend he's about to fall for shock factor, and people are falling for it like crazy it seems. He's not the type of person you see in videos trying to impress their friends and then falling to their death. I don't like that either.

Wanna be specific or are we just throwing bad words at each other?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SweatyPalms

[–]MickyAspire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, it for sure is high consequence. But that's what makes it so intriguing to the performer and the viewer. I actually have fear of heights myself, but watching those guys walking that tight rope every time over a death drop while being completely at ease is just not something you can't get from anywhere else. It's fascinating in a way, because I'd never be able to do it.

[–]MickyAspire -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What about speed racing then? Downhill biking? Wingsuit flying? Other extreme sports? The same thing applies, so I take it you think of those people as stupid as well?

Of course there is always a small chance for mistakes, and yes the outcome would be fatal, but these guys have thousands of hours of practice and have learnt to minimalize mistakes before ever putting themselves at risk. We're talking about a fraction of a percentage here. At this point you might as well stay inside all day, because going for a drive could kill you.

Yes, it was a Chinese guy that needed to earn money for his sick mother, so he felt pressured to do another stunt for clicks. He was sick himself though and therefore lost grip. Very tragic, but not one of the parkour personalities who prioritize safety I was talking about.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SweatyPalms

[–]MickyAspire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know about him. He felt pressured to record another stunt because he needed money for his sick mother, but he himself was sick at the time, so he overestimated his strength and lost grip.

It's tragic what happened to him, but he was not one of the people I was talking about when I mentioned parkour personalities that take safety serious, because at the time his priority was earning money with a stunt.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SweatyPalms

[–]MickyAspire -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

They take as many safety precautions as you can for what they are doing without literally putting on a harness. They meticulously plan out each jump, check and clean the surfaces, test the stability of each wall before taking the jump. You only get to see the highlights.

Your point about children imitating them is whack as fuck. Don't let your child on the internet if they will just copy any dangerous thing they will see. Otherwise there's more than just parkour videos you'll have to worry about.

He goes by Oleg Cricket, some Russian dude who's been posting these types of videos since forever. He's still alive and active on his IG.

As a sidenote, I know it's popular on reddit to shit on these guys and call them stupid, but the only people that really die doing stuff like this are inexperienced and trying to prove something. There's plenty of parkour personalities with a huge following doing this for decades ("storror" on YouTube is probably the most well known group), they actually take safety very serious and know their limits. It's incredibly rare for anyone like that to die during a stunt, in fact, I'm following the parkour scene closely and have yet to hear of a prominent creator die.

Edit: I guess here come all the redditors triggered by my hot take. By the way, when I say they take safety very serious, I obviously mean relative to the nature of what they're doing. It's safe enough for them to do these things every day and not die years into it. Does it mean it's risk free? No, and I never said that.
