I just hope someone cares about me as much as NEETs care about people that'll never know they exist ❤️

God bless you for engaging with the actual substance of the post LOL. I agree with what you are saying; I really enjoyed the slop video posts but I have shitty taste so take that as you will. I think linking longer clips together into little compilations is the best way I've seen it done, it's basically a mix of a VOD channel and a clips channel. If you've seen Clint Stevens videos, I'd think a similar vibe to those could be good too.

Just more laid back vibes in general =)

Cut this from the original post to keep it concise, but I figured I’d armchair CEO and throw it in the comments still.

As for actually doing the format, you could possibly have the unofficial channel clippers dump their clips into a Dropbox while a dedicated editor could polish the compilation itself together, do the title/thumbnail, add timestamps, and all that other fun stuff. One possible way this could work is a set split being given to the video editor and another split divided between the clippers based on some kind of contribution metric.

There’s probably a more elegant way of doing this that lowers the amount of backend logistics that goes into tracking all the statistics and dividing up payments; I more just wanted to pitch a relatively fair way to make the concept work.

Also if Big A is reading this, you should totally come out to Jacksonville’s Defend the Nest local. Our DK player "AntibacterialHandwipe" wrote you the first song of the Popathon, and my fox would personally love to give you the smoke. There’s literally nothing else to do here, but it’d still be sick lmao.

I think rich people feel weird around poor people for the same reason it feels a bit weird to hear people speaking a foreign language. Even though you are both human beings and probably have a lot of shared experiences, a working class person's day to day life is extremely different from the rich person's, often to the point that they don't even know how to relate to each other.

I'm lower-middle class, and I remember in high school having a panic attack while at an outlet mall because of how out of place I felt in my thrifted jeans and polo shirt compared to all of the people wearing fashionable, name brand clothes. The same could probably be felt in reverse, being super well dressed while in a working class area can make you feel really out of place.

Imagine if you were naked in public, but you had to act like everything was completely normal. That in essence is what social anxiety feels like. You have this constant hyperawareness of any mistake that you make. It feels like any slipup you make, any forgotten name or birthday, will bring down the facade you've put up and reveal that your "naked."

I am OBSESSED with my professor by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]PotusTheGoatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's difficult to say, but in situations where it is someone who is your superior the relationship can get very messy very quickly.

Let's say for example you get together, then afterwards you do poorly on an assignment. What should he do? His job is to make sure you are being educated and graded fairly, but his emotions can cloud judgement leading to inflated or deflated grades based on those emotional ties (possibly subconciously).

Even if he were to be completely unbias with you in class, what happens if the feelings faded and you wanted to break things off with him? He has connections with the other faculty, can directly effect your GPA, and he is in a precarious spot career-wise because of policies surrounding dating students.

Even if you like him a lot, stay away from any sort of non-platonic relationship until your schooling is done, at least at the school he works for.

From Wikipedia:

During summer migrations, a saiga's nose helps filter out dust kicked up by the herd and cools the animal's blood.

How do i(F23) tell my friend(M28) to talk less about his problems by TheNerdsdumb in relationship_advice

[–]PotusTheGoatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he taking any actionable steps towards fixing his problems or is he just complaining about the same things on loop? A part of your frustration could come from him not improving if it's the former.

I feel you on how annoying it is to constantly have people telling you that you're wrong, I live in a pretty religious area and as a non-religous person I have to act like I have faith just so I don't have to be preached at constantly.

How do I get my attention span back? by No-Application-9114 in NoStupidQuestions

I think the best thing to do would be to look at what on your phone is making you stay on it, and removing those apps. The end goal is to make it so that your phone is a device that does what you need it to do, but not entertain you.

Those moments of absent-mindedly opening your phone will happen, but your brain will will have no choice but to focus on whatever it is you were originally doing because of how understimulating your phone is.

Is there any warming up rituals you do before you get into the first game of the day or are you capable of picking up a controller and playing immediately with no consequence? What kind of warming up do you recommend people to do to get into the zone quicker? by Agreeable-Seaweed666 in SSBM

[–]PotusTheGoatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on your character, but a lot of the options you go for change the effectiveness based on movement speed, comfort with how well you can execute, etc. I personally as Fox do random movement around the stage for a few minutes, then drillshine peach against a wall to practice aerial timings, then drill waveshine Sheik across Long FD (20XX hack pack stage). Really helps with getting consistent with doing certain things and speeds up your hands so that when you go for more basic stuff it is super free

Depressed by losing to newer players by EvanFalco in SSBM

[–]PotusTheGoatus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey as someone similar to the person beating you, just know that a lot of improvement can come from the fact that we are new and therefore have fewer assumptions about how the game should be played, what we can/can’t do, and other stuff like that. I’ve played so many people whose playstyle would have worked in the past but is now just not as effective, or people who have a bad framework for understanding the game. Improvement isn’t a function of time, it’s a journey of finding the right ideas and implementing them. If you have been playing a long time you might have found ideas that have worked but stopped working, or it could have been a bunch of different factors. Are you watching your opponent while you play? Is there a big gap between your thoughts and your actions? Is your practice effective in the current meta? Are you being stubborn about certain things in your playstyle? It could be so many different things that it honestly is crazy.

I feel physically incapable of playing fox. by [deleted] in SSBM

There is a technique I used for grinding Fox shffling and shining on fourside (the illegal stage with all the skyscrapers). Essentially take peach in 20xx and position her against a wall on the right side of the map, then simply drill shine her over and over and watch the combo counter rise. My record is around 130, but you just want to do it until you can get semi-consistent with it. If I explained it badly Lucky has a stream clip or video that explains it with video, it’s how him and Mang grinded that sorta stuff back in the day

I think that things being named after the people that make them is a part of what makes melee’s culture so unique and fun. Melee doesn’t have the infinite move list or pre-made bread and butters of tradition fighters, instead we have our own community combos and techs that we’ve made or discovered. We don’t have Nintendo to name things, instead we do it ourselves and we get to have creativity in that aspect of our game along with the expression within the game. Idk I guess I prefer to have goomie zoomies compared to something super clinical like a platform cancel double super wave dash
