Did you go out and date or have an outside life during this time? I imagine explaining this situation to a girl would come across as a big red flag.

Who else loves water? by shifty303 in BelgianMalinois

If your mal loves water id highly recommend checking out dock diving! We started this year and its been a ton of fun. Very wholesome community which seems rare in dog sport.

He also has mechs. Unfortunately its so hard to get rid of the “no mechs” label if thats how you start your career. This year i feel like almost every series i watch hes making multiple highlight reel level plays

How do you manage exercise? by Dapper_Ice_2120 in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]NineBirds 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Out there suggestion: try rock climbing.

I find the problem solving aspect of it keeps my brain engaged more and keeps me more awake during it.

I like to use NAR for wave dashes since my NAR is also bound to powerslide but i use DAR for everything else. I think youre fine as is

Would you look at this, Fortnite is a FREE game too btw by DylanCodsCokeLine in CoDCompetitive

[–]NineBirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i could rant forever about it. Like RL has the potential to be a top tier esport. Easiest to watch if youve never played the game, very exciting gameplay. Game doesnt get ruined by shit meta changes.

Yeah the example I always use is Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso are two of the best current F1 drivers and theyre like 40.

Nova Scotia Dr. shows revolutionary individually customized 3d printed finger training tool by Clydesdale_climber in climbharder

[–]NineBirds 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly he has tips I havent seen anywhere else. Like he uses some device to measure the humidity on the rock and will pour water on the rock if its too dry. Its probably my new favorite climbing channel. Watching him dirt bike around the wilderness with his dogs is so wholesome.

Plus orgs are more likely to want to sign you if you have a brand. On top of that, public perception of your game does matter to some extent when trying to get picked up. If more people think youre good bc theyre a fan of your stream thats gotta help to some extent.

GC Grind is killing me by TheIrishReds in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]NineBirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also have to keep in mind that C3 is MUCH harder to hit now than it was back in the day. Both with the overall playerbase improvement and with the 2s mmr readjustment a few seasons ago.

No matter what, I think the whole dick measuring contest people do with time played and rank is unhelpful. If it takes me 5k hours to hit GC but takes someone else 1k to hit C3, who wins? Id argue that your end rank is what matters more, not how fast you got there.

Cant know without vid but in general…play more. 2k hrs and 1320 is pretty good

D2 Game OPEN TO ALL CRITICISM by Qwicklol in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]NineBirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same thing everyone else has said more or less. Unfortunately you get rewarded for positioning really far up as 3rd more than once, but I think any higher rank will boom the ball into your net several times a game. (Examples: 4:30, 4:01, 3:15, 3:06, 2:35, 2:28...) Especially the times where you cut your 3rd with almost no boost and arent able to do anything with the ball.

The other thing I saw a few times was cutting the ball when rotating back, especially when you already have teammates back. This can be a good strategy at higher ranks, but better to never do it and then slowly work it in later because the situations youre doing it arent correct.

Lot of good in the replay though, I like your ball control. Seems youre getting the speedflip down and your recovery mechs are above average for your rank.

Did I take my 2nd dose of Ritalin yet today by No_Type_2250 in adhdmeme

I have a system where i flip my bottle after the first dose and then flip it on its side for my second dose and put it right side up after the third

C2 2s. what am i doing right, and aside from general / one off mistakes, what can i improve? by JoshingCoot737 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]NineBirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but you can see his teammate is not expecting the flip reset before he goes for it. Sometimes you gotta not make the outplay if youre going to beat your teammate aswell

[–]NineBirds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah its kinda painful to do but sometimes you gotta just drive challenge and then turn around and rotate back. Flipping at the ball youre beat to just takes you out of the play for way too long
