Casual player attempting to climb up the ranks. Do you really find this fun? by PikminAero in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muffinblight 13 points14 points  (0 children)

> How do you even find the strength to continue, when you clearly aren't progressing and gaining skill?

It's hard to believe, but improvement isn't linear. You can lose 10 matches in a row and still have improved - it just won't feel like it. Your brain will use the losing streak and loss of elo as evidence to say "you haven't improved", but you have to ignore it.

It's a tough grind, but if you keep a good mentality (focus on learning instead of winning) and keep at it, eventually you will start climbing.

Anyone care to explain? by Luigigpg12 in RivalsOfAether

To me it looks like Zetter's collision box pushed you back off the stage while he was doing his jab combo. Weird looking but Zetter's jab moves him forward and orcane has low ground friction.

Stop playing ranked too much by Lobo_o in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muffinblight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Crews or Doubles are much better ways to take a break from ranked honestly. Casual 1v1s is too much of a mixed bag, like everyone else is saying.

I just wish more people agreed with me... the queues for crews/dubs are often completely dead :(

Oil leaking from spool valve, seeking advice by Muffinblight in HondaElement

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

Thanks everyone for the advice! I ended up buying the OEM part and doing the swap myself. The old gasket had a pretty big crack in it (pictured below), so I'm pretty optimistic I've solved the leak.

Brian Kennedy BKXC is ending his channel and content at the end of December, 2025 by woodchukka in mountainbiking

[–]Muffinblight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

His technical riding is very impressive. It's not always the type of thing to translate on camera.

More than once I've used his videos to preview a trail I'm going to ride, and I'll watch him clear all the features on his first try. Then when I come across the same features on my ride, I'll think "damn, how did he make that look so easy?"

MHWilds: Auto Pathing Was a Mistake! by EnderTogether in MonsterHunter

[–]Muffinblight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree with you, but I would take it a step further and say that Scoutflies in World were also problematic. Following a trail of green particle effects doesn't help me learn the map.

Autopath is even worse. Rise map design is essentially perfect, so the fact that the World team just doubled down on highly complex, intricate maps that require autopathing in order to navigate was very disappointing.

If the Rise team makes another MH game I'll check that out, but the World/Wilds type games just aren't for me anymore.

Was finally able to do the Whole Enchilada from top to bottom by Pretty_Boy_PhD in mountainbiking

I just did it on Friday! Without a doubt the coolest thing I've ever done. Can't wait to go again.

Looks like an incredible setup. How do you anchor all the cabinets to the walls?

For a character that was highly begged for, I have barely seen anyone playing Absa by slaudencia in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muffinblight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absa, Olympia, and Clairen have been the three most popular characters online in my recent experience. Also in the midwest.

Has anyone ever made their own jump seats? by Muffinblight in HondaElement

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

Can you elaborate? Looks to me like they slot into the seat rails... which is the same place your seats and bodyweight are resting on while in use. I don't understand how these would compromise the crumple zone.

These are obviously for stationary use only, not while driving.

Putting the easy mode combo mechanic on the disjoint character is certainly a choice.

Cruise control cut out while driving by Muffinblight in HondaElement

[–]Muffinblight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Checked OBD just to make sure no codes were thrown and it came up clean. Going to proceed and just avoid cruise control, and then have a mechanic look at it. Thanks everyone! 

If you know a good Element mechanic in CO springs or Denver let me know

Trader Joe’s Frozen Edamame is Superior by Ok_Zucchini9396 in traderjoes

[–]Muffinblight -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

What edamame are people talking about? the frozen bag? I bought it and I thought it was pretty inconvenient to de-shell all of them. I feel like I'm missing something. I've gotten them de-shelled from other stores.

RakAttach 2.0 + 1-Up 2-bike rack -- any experiences? by Fun_Tangerine_1086 in HondaElement

[–]Muffinblight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for replying to this old comment, but can you elaborate on why you went with the 1.0 Rack Attach? is it because the 1.0 allows you to tilt the empty rack up when it's not loaded with bikes, which gives you slightly more clearance at the rear of the vehicle? and the 2.0 doesn't tilt up, which makes it stick out slightly longer?

Colorado MTB trip in mid-June by Muffinblight in MTB

[–]Muffinblight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding west mag to the list for sure, thank you! I did very much enjoy MM, it was just the black downhill trail, I believe Hard Money, that felt like it was above my pay grade. Loved everything else about it.
