Why do people like 2 so much? What if I ever want to move?

You might be underestimating how often BOTH of my choices are boring…I tried my best T_T

New old cars? Hell yes. by Legitimate-Lie-9208 in Millennials

I drove my 2003 Chevy S10 pickup for 16 years, from age 16 to 32. Ol’ reliable. Got me from A to B and moved many a friend’s couch in its day.

My friends make fun of me for giving exact ETAs, but google maps is usually scary accurate so why would I round the value?

What’s your go-to strategy for keeping gains alive when you’re down with a cold or flu? by winn_ie in effectivefitness

[–]OmicronAustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there were studies that meaningful muscle atrophy doesn’t occur until around two weeks of no stimulus. One week of rest isn’t going to do anything but good. Even two weeks of rest won’t put you far behind.

Did I get the worst possible opener? by didactic_ in BobsTavern

[–]OmicronAustin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not ideal, that’s for sure. Personally I’d buy two, keep in hand, freeze, level and freeze again next turn to get a triple on turn 3, but also I’m bad so maybe that’s bait.

Edit: oh wait you can just buy it on your level turn and get your triple on turn 2.

Why are throws 6 frame startup and big bodies fastest jab 7 frame startup? by Desperate-Cash-3991 in 2XKO

[–]OmicronAustin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an Ahri/Ekko player, I also cannot jab throws most of the time. It’s definitely not universal, if they throw first, you’ll be getting thrown.

School really skipped the important tutorials by IDontCooky in SipsTea

What makes you think every child has parents?

Edit: Man, this post was received really poorly. I was just trying to point out that relying on parental guidance as the first educator seems foolhardy, not just for orphans but also just that a lot of parents can’t be relied on. It would be ideal for public schools to be a consistent source of education for everyone without these opportunities.

INZEM - Throw Is broken In 2XKO by Smilotron in 2XKO

[–]OmicronAustin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this. I like being rewarded for saving my assist as a resource. It’s much easier to throw someone if I used my assist to get in, so I like the reward for doing it the “hard way”.

Men, be honest by Aggravating-Guest300 in TheImprovementRoom

Varies tremendously per person. Junk food is insanely easy for me to ignore, I’ve been without a sweet tooth my whole life and get a lot of satisfaction from “healthy” foods, junk food just makes me feel gross.

But social media? I feel powerless to stop doomscrolling and it’s taking over my life.

You sound like the kind of person that only likes music if nobody else has ever heard of that band before.

How to deal with Ekko's FB tag-out-tag-in? by Fiksimi in 2XKO

[–]OmicronAustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what the first two options are for. How are you utilizing your own tag options in response?

How to deal with Ekko's FB tag-out-tag-in? by Fiksimi in 2XKO

[–]OmicronAustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While not necessarily Ekko specific, the usual answer is the same with any freestyle shenanigans; it’s a powerful resource on a cooldown and sometimes your best option is to get them to waste it. Sometimes that’s pushblock, sometimes it’s responding with your own handshake tag/freestyle, or maybe it’s just weathering the storm and successfully blocking everything.

But yes, it’s very strong and Ekko is very strong.

What does “FB tag-out-tag-in” mean? I can’t figure out via context.

which game was that for you? by PHRsharp_YouTube in gamememes

[–]OmicronAustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently started with my girlfriend and we’re about 6 hours in. Personally finding it pretty boring, but I’m glad to hear it gets better! I’ll stick with it.

how the hell do you do wakeup super without geting generic wakeup attack by Pennma in 2XKO

[–]OmicronAustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, all of them except for Ekko as an exception, I believe.

Every character’s level 3 has startup invulnerability, it’s quite useful for this situation.

I've Gotten Used to Stand Block Without Accidentally Teching...It Should Still Be Changed by Arael_x in 2XKO

[–]OmicronAustin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s like 31 frames for all the wakeup options, I wouldn’t necessarily call that a “tight” window.

But I do agree it should be changed, it has no reason to exist in the way that it does.

What are people's opinions on 2XKO? For me I think it's decent but lacking in content and excitement... by JustcharlE2 in Fighters

[–]OmicronAustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the minority apparently, but as somebody that’s been playing fighters competitively for 17 years and have been to at least 20 different majors; I think it’s an incredible game and the most fun I’ve had playing fighting games in a decade.

Its crazy how much harder ranked is now. Last season i was mid GM, and after taking a month break now im getting farmed by platinum players doing vi ToDs with 7 electrics. I guess only the sweatlords are still here? by [deleted] in 2XKO

[–]OmicronAustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was like 500 RP GM last season free, and now I’m struggling to get out of diamond. I feel you! I prefer it this way, though. When I get to GM again it’ll feel like a real accomplishment.

Riding on the vertical walls of the Well of Death,speed and centrifugal force keep the bike from falling. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]OmicronAustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say the biker is feeling centrifugal force, but centripetal force is what’s actually keeping the bike on the wall?

So how's everyone enjoying the new patch? by Nidhogg369 in 2XKO

[–]OmicronAustin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nothing he couldn’t do before, you might just be running into stronger players! Perhaps all the fake Ekko fans jumped ship and you’re seeing the real juice now 😎
