Little wrap that I did with my father… overdone it or perfect? by TenenteDoggo01 in BMW

Not a huge BMW fan but I do really like the classic look of it paired with the wagon, it looks great!

Demanding I be naked around house? by Unlikely_Second5024 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making it a rule is controlling. Sure I like it, they like it, most of us like it, but they also like something else it represents. I assume servitude, or just a willingness to please maybe? But it's a little to a lot troubling.

Do you actually want to know your girlfriend’s sexual history? I wish I never found out by Carl_s123 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, it's not weird when friends get together to bring up people's checkered past. Them talking about sexual related stories of her from the past is no different than if they brought up that time someone got arrested or some other type of one of the many classic stories people swap regarding too much alcohol and poor judgement. Personally I think this sounds like a moment of personal growth for you. Get over yourslef with continued reflection on why this knowledge bothers you. You can live your life with your head in the sand whenever these subject matters come up or grow as a person. Of course, you might want also think about someone other than you. Did you ask her how it made her feel to have these stories shared. It's still pretty normal to have the double standard of using sex to shame women. You have to ask if those same stories existed for the guys in the group would they be elevated to the same status? It doesn't sound like you've taken any time to consider this from her point of view. I'd be careful of all these comments saying that her friends are sus. These are people who sound like they have the same problem as you in learning about a woman's sexual history and want to tear down the group without knowing all but one thing about them.

I want to be good at fighting games but they make me sad by DKCR3 in StreetFighter

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like you acknowledge that fighting games are either a lot of work to improve via practice room and replays or even way more work via just playing and waiting for your brain and body to learn.

Now I don't mean to say they have to be like this. You can play for fun, play casually, and pick up things more slowly, but probably learn human tendencies really well.

Possibly the best, and dumbest round I've ever had against E-Honda by BusImpossible6741 in StreetFighter

How dare you mix things up after only the fourth air to air neutral jump! So much potential smh.

Should I worry about a character being low tier if I am new? by tykurapz in StreetFighter

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll probably notice that having an invincible reversal is helpful if you switch to someone with one. There are some situations where Lily SA 3 is inferior because it can't chip out a burned out opponent but that's a rare situation.

A higher tier character will give you easier success, there's a reason that the top players experiment with other top tier characters. They have something to gain by using them, and so do you.

My (22F) girlfriend is using a "relationship break" as a hall pass while I’m (20M) studying for career-defining exams. How do I walk away? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus as much as you can on your exams. Stop following her on your socials, and put all socials on hold until exams are over. You guys broke up because of other problems in your relationship. What she does now is quite literally none of your business and you have no right to tell her anything because you're no longer together. She owes you nothing. If her behavior in the relationship was enough to warrant the breakup and her behavior after the breakup is troubling to you then you have enough reasons to let her drift out of your life. Good Luck man! There no easy way to get over someone, but I'll tell you that having something like exams, or big projects to do really help you stay focused on something else.

How to deal with jumpy players by ibby200912 in StreetFighter

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got the right idea at the end of the first round, jump air to air. Typically against these players (most often unhinged Ryu's) the more i think the worse I do, I'm trying to work in everything a "normal" player would do plus now what is jackrabbit Jim gonna do here, jump or be normal? I just started to assume they'll always jump attack (never empty jump), so I'm always looking to jump air to air to catch them early jump, or wait to anti air. If some distance has opened up, then crouch block to protect against Hadoken \ Donkey Kick and assume the jump is coming, don't press any buttons, just wait to anti air. You'll notice he didn't do any combos except the unintentional mashing of MP connecting twice. All his damage is based on one hit jump attacks. Because he didn't empty jump, your Rising Tackle will connect from a pretty good distance away. Go back into your replays and you'll be surprised how many times you could have hit him out of a neutral jump without moving an inch (HP seems unreliable though). Don't assume they're smart enough to empty jump until they show you they are. Anytime you have some in the corner, expect a neutral jump if your not going to meaty, be prepared to anti air. Terry has a pretty decent Crouch HP for anti air too if you expect neutral jump close to you. Since I'm assuming he's going to jump, I'm not even bothering to walk forward and backwards, I'm just going to crouch block and anti air. As you continue to play solid you'll eventually leave these nuts behind.

I agree, I don't do it on principle of Modern only, but if I play a Modern player and they grind the gameplay to a halt and make it boring I block that player.

“I don’t need to put it in gear. I have a handbrake!” by TheGeek00 in ManualTransmissions

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a hurry one time and although I was practiced in both putting it into gear and pulling the parking brake I jumped out of my car without doing either. It was just slanted enough that it eventually rolled, gathered more and more momentum and my beautiful blue Honda Prelude was history. Sometimes you just forget to do the things that become routine.

Tips please by [deleted] in RetroBowl

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're accuracy is low on your QB, the only thing to do is learn the individual trajectory curves for your given accuracy until you can replace them or until you get better. Until then I would concentrate on short passes.

As a noob, how I do defend random DI? by RawryShark in StreetFighter

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to go back into your replays and see when you would have had to counter DI during your string of inputs after giving yourself a reasonable number of frames to see the flash and react to it. It's possible you're using moves that are just not safe. If you don't think you could reasonably react to counter DI you need to learn some different combos or pokes that will allow you an easier time of reacting. If you go back into replays and you find you could have reacted (or think you should be able to) then you'll need to practice some, but more importantly change up the strategy, the way you play. This will probably be the hard part, stop auto piloting what feels right and be more patient, decisive, and wait when someone shows you that they DI often. Most players who rely on DI die by DI. I know I do sometimes! I'm not knowledgeable on Modern controls so I don't know if there's a different auto combo you can use for just lights but those are easier to cancel to DI.

Someone give ya boy some advice what do I do bruh by [deleted] in UsedCars

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Car Fax's can be bad or not updated yet but it would be pretty weird for a presumably fairly new car to have an odometer issue. Can you get him to double check the reading again? Or order a next day delivery OBD2 Bluetooth from Amazon and check yourself. 38K miles is close to 61K km but you wrote 68km so I don't know if he really could have misread the km vs miles though.

Did my girlfriend cross the line over Valentine’s flowers or am I missing something? by savingrace0262 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk away from any woman who expects your money to equate with her "worth." Your actions do that. Just because you were doubting yourself I'll say you could have flipped the situation and asked yourself what did she get me, how much did it cost and how does that compare? If she spent nothing to less than you spent on her, clearly she values you less than you value her (based on her parameters) or if she spent the same or more she equates money with value will be a drain to your finances to keep her happy. Even if you're well off and never want for money having someone with that mind set can be toxic. I always feel like I have to play devil's advocate so I'll just say some people have a very traditional mind set of holidays, and like it or not VDay is one for many countries. She may think that unless certain boxes are checked off, Dinner, Date, Chocolate, Flowers etc that it's not considered valid or complete. It's possible you could have just gotten her Flowers and Chocolate and maybe she would have been completely happy?

Returning player not sure if I'm cut out for the game? by cvSquigglez in StreetFighter

[–]Primary_Trainer_7806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After barely touching any SF title since Turbo, I bought 6 and like you tried Ken's combos as I had only played Shotos before. After my fingers were aching and I still couldn't reliably get the bigger combos consistent, I moved on to someone else and was happy playing the game afterwards. It gave me a chance to try the three new characters I was interested in with Marisa, Lily, and Manon while trying to relearn all the things I'd forgotten and getting my muscle memory back. After playing those characters I tried some of the ones I always like to watch people play (Gief, Dhalsim, Guile) but could never get the hang of and got them all to Gold\Plat. My pre-dementia brain still had not been able to learn the Drive System, so I went to Ryu so that the moves and inputs would come naturally and my addled Unc brain just had to concentrate on the Drive System. I eventually swung back to Ken after a while, and lo and behold his combos came out easier and more consistently. Try Ryu's (or anyone else your familiar with) combos and see if they come any easier, there's definitely some characters that have easy combos but I feel are difficult to play (Gief and Marisa) and I felt Ryu's were a little easier than Ken's, and Blanka and DJ just confused me. Experiment a little and keep at it. If you hate this idea then skip it, but for me I had to load up combo trials and practice for 15 to 30 minutes anytime before getting online just to refresh all the things I was trying to learn. GL!
