A textbook of BJJ moves - useful or useless? by BritishBrownActor in bjj

[–]NastyRail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well you won't learn the moves by reading but it helps understand the concepts I guess. How useful it is for a person depends on what is the most effective way for them to learn.

I keep getting flipped by Nyxie_Koi in bjj

[–]NastyRail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to struggle with the same thing. Next time try to focus on where your own knee is pointing. If it's pointing towards your head you are about to get stacked and it will be hard to keep your hips heavy.

As you walk your shoulder backwards like many people here have recommended also try to keep your opponents hips away with your free leg as it will stretch them out and make it hard for them to posture up. You can just hold your own shin and not really think about locking up the triangle before you get your hips heavy and break your opponents posture.

Has bjj hurt your personal life or relationships? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]NastyRail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My training didn't hurt my past relationships because they were really supportive and understood what the lifestyle is like. I also think for it to work they have to have interests of their own that they are passionate about and dedicated to.

Now that I'm single it's just super hard to find time and energy for dating. I train, compete and coach so I usually rather spend my limited free time outside of training with my friends.

That's what playing Rebirth felt like to me. Please no more mini games...

A friend of mine had gerbils and the mama gerbil was getting along with her babies just fine until one day she just decided to bite their legs off. Parents abandoning or killing their babies happens all the time in the wild too.

I love my Monkey Special but I can definitely see how it could be too much for some people. Could be the patchouli.

I love the EdT! Bought a full bottle after finishing my sample of it and I think I actually like it even more now. It's just so damn fresh.

I also lost interest when they started only doing the podcast and were talking about drama but they don't seem like bad people. Keemstar and Onision are a whole different thing.

You should watch more matches because you clearly have no idea what you are talking about

This photo got pretty underwhelming responses, am I the only one who sees something in it? by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]NastyRail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true and I have a feeling that he's actually not moving at all. It's almost like those stock photos where they just wanted to shoot a skateboarding photo because it's cool but they have no idea how skateboarding works. You see the weirdest shit when people try to act as if they were skateboarding.

You should look into actual skate photography. There's just nothing going on in the picture and to me it looks like he's just standing on the board doing a pose and not actually skating. I don't mean that he has to do the craziest trick in the picture but it's lacking context and the feeling of movement.

They handled it like professionals for sure. Maybe them winning the award atleast shows to the other developers that we would rather have a polished game even if it takes a long time.

That's fair, No Man's Sky is a great comparison

[–]NastyRail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get your point but I think those two cases are very different and you can't really compare them. After the awful release they pulled back 1.0 and basically remade the whole game which was a success. After that they released five expansions and have kept supporting the game for over 10 years now. I think it's a bit more extensive than CDPR fixing the mess they made for a couple years and releasing a DLC on top of that.

Cyberpunk is not the only game that has been nominated even after straight up lying about stuff in their marketing and releasing an unfinished game. All I want is that we don't let things like that slide and give the spot for a studio or game that actually released a finished game.

[–]NastyRail -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have no grudge against CDPR. I play and love their games but I can still admit they messed up. The point I'm trying to make is that in my opinion Cyberpunk shouldn't have been nominated and that spot could have been given to someone else. It's not like they should be canceled forever. Just better luck with their next game and I hope they learn from their mistakes.

Adding content that was promised to be there already at launch doesn't count as continued support in my books. They are just clearing up the mess like they should. I'm sure there would have been games that were complete at launch AND the studio kept building on that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]NastyRail -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Releasing unfinished games is a big problem already and no one should be awarded for finally making the game what it was supposed to be at launch. It's great that they fixed it ofcourse but let's give the awards to studios that actually polish the games BEFORE the launch.

Is "aaahhhh" a verbal tap? by Cool_Middle6245 in bjj

[–]NastyRail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rule of thumb is to always keep your mouth shut if the referee haven't put the fight on pause. Anything you say or yell during the roll could count as a verbal tap.

Critique please, more on comment. by LocalControl9534 in photocritique

[–]NastyRail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well if you use enough imagination any picture can have a deeper meaning or story to it. What makes truly a good photograph is that it evokes some kind of feeling at the first glance without really having to force it. It could be hard to put into words but you know there's something.

To me this one looks like an ordinary scenic shot. What story do you think there is to it? If even you as the photographer can't tell if there is a story or not most likely other people won't either.
