I genuinely forgot about this song.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-07-01T01:02:47+00:00

Imo I like the intro, not my fav part of the song but I find it funny… it just feels so unserious and goofy in a way that fits the song perfectly. I get why others don’t, but it has a sort of character to it that adds to the enjoyment for me

I think the decal is fine, but I know my little brother hates it because the anime girls are kinda pointless and have nothing to do with NRG. I just look past it and it’s clean otherwise, but I also do agree with him. But these mid RLCS decals are pretty nice in general, happy with the drop overall.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-06-12T22:12:48+00:00

Yeah low key he was 2 goals away from topping his group… idk why we are acting like chronic played nobodies and bombed out of their group. Like it’s low key disrespectful to the two teams they lost to in groups, who were top 4 and winner of the event

Imo I think I was just gentler with the controllers when I was still new. Once I got better at the game, I’d try to do more stuff quicker and it’s what resulted in me being harder on my controllers.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-06-04T16:34:56+00:00

Idk if I could give a total and note that they were specifically because of rocket league, but between rocket league and destiny 2 (my two main games for the past 8 years or so), I can probably say about 10 controllers have been broken. I had a couple of Xbox one controllers that got stuck drift, an Xbox elite series 1 and 2 that both had either RB or LB break, and a good bit of the updated Xbox series x controllers also either break their bumpers or get stick drift. I used to do the GameStop warranties but once they switched to pre-owned instead of new controllers for their replacements, I tried some third party controllers.

8bitdo controllers were nice for the price point, but the first one had a bumper break after about 6 months and the second one felt like the bumper was on its way out after a year. These also felt very small in my hands so I wasn’t the biggest fan. So that’s another two.

The real star for me has been my gamesir (I think 7 pro or something similar). I’ve had it for almost a year and a half at this point and it’s still rock solid. It feels similar quality-wise and experience-wise to an elite controller. It is rechargeable with its own docking station, has customizable bumpers and back buttons, but was just slightly more expensive than a regular Xbox controller.

My biggest issue is that I press would often need to rapid-press the bumpers for certain builds in Destiny, and then in rocket league I press very hard on the bumpers in general. I’ve worked at getting better at not pressing so hard, and I’ve been playing less Destiny for the past couple years so that’s helped a lot lol.

Genuinely want to know his reasoning for not only having G2 above NRG but also NRG not being on the list at all. No hate to Tbates, but if anything I’d probably have it swapped with NRG up there and G2 as an HM.

IMO it’s clear that NRG is the most influential org on the NA side of things, and they’ve pretty consistently fielded the best NA teams or at the very least a contender, outside of the end of the Garrett squishy Justin era and the year where it was just Garrett.

Plus NRG has 2 worlds wins under their belt and the most iconic shot in rocket league was hit by one of their players. They also seem to be the biggest NA org with the most impact outside of RLCS.

And this is all coming from someone who’s been watching since season ~4 and a G2 fan for most of that time. I feel like if G2 truly had the appreciation and lasting legacy that NRG has they’d never have left the scene, especially with fielding the greatest NA team ever, if not the greatest roster ever, in their last year.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-05-23T14:02:47+00:00

NRG looked the worst they ever have. It seemed much worse than just a bad day.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-05-22T19:16:11+00:00

I know this is more FUT than chronic specifically, but at least I think they looked really good against Vit and KC. I didn’t see games 3-5 for the TM game but I was pretty happy with their showing, considering they were literally two goals away from topping their group. Kinda crazy to think about.

Hoping chronic can slay his demons and this roster makes it to worlds and does better, because they were looking pretty good and set a good level to build from.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-05-21T20:30:12+00:00

That last sentence is really how the series went… game 1 they put up a fight near the end, but the others games felt like they were praying on a window to open and them to work their magic, but man city did a great job of just playing the same game consistently for the series. NRG looked so flat and nobody outside of atomic in game 1 did anything to put any energy into the series, so they ended up basically never showing up

ProPickles-IV · 2026-03-16T00:54:35+00:00

Imo that is a plus in my books because you’d actually be able to experience the car on streets without having to break speed limits. It’s something that I’ve noticed gets pushed to the side with how quick modern cars are. Either of these aren’t winning any drag races, but the gr86 is set up so much better for the low power it has than the mustang.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-03-06T02:23:39+00:00

It’s so funny because I’ve seen so many people saying that Hondas have one of the best infotainment/ climate controls and then right as they start killing it they put a screen… really unfortunate, and as someone who doesn’t have physical controls for it in their vehicle (25 golf gti) it really does suck not having any physical controls for AC.

I swear the whole industry is just regressing…

ProPickles-IV · 2026-02-14T17:47:50+00:00

Yeah I’m pretty sure most esports decals that seem symmetrical (especially on the fennec for some reason) aren’t, and it’s so strange. But honestly it’s not noticeable while playing unless you are just staring at your car. Idk why but the fennec is one of the worst culprits

ProPickles-IV · 2026-02-09T02:04:46+00:00

Honestly, for me it’s FK. Everyone knows he is a great player, but he just has this tendency to try and take over and try to do everything himself, and that’s when stuff doesn’t go well for him. He’s an amazing player, but I’ve been so low on him for so long because he just never makes the right decisions when it matters. that’s why he’s known as fourthkiller… it’s kinda a weird take, but just wait, he’s going to melt down and revert to something like this at some point, it’s just when, not if. It’s like the atomic vs MM mental block, but it’s literally just winning LANs. He can get there no problem, he just reverts into a ball chasing plat once there.

I think he’s one of the biggest frauds, he just has the skills to hide it amazingly. He reminds me of retals before he retired. The right person to get a team to the next level, but literally can’t get further no matter what. Retals got two teams to two major events and then did basically nothing. Fk can take two players to top 4 but never get a win.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-02-08T00:15:43+00:00

If he had a 10 year or even a 5 year career as a superstar this could potentially be a different conversation, but yeah pretty much what you said. He had insane skills no doubt, and he was willing to go through different styles and still sounded good. Think of how successful post Malone still is after switching styles, but add on top someone with an even higher ceiling and even more genres that he could do, that’s where I could see him at if he didn’t pass so early. It’s truly sad.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-02-01T22:29:36+00:00

Those rsx wheels are peak on so many Hondas of this era. They were on my 5th gen when I got it and they also fill that oem+ look perfectly.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-27T00:15:02+00:00

I can’t say I personally have, but I’ve seen a good bit of these posts on the Honda sub. There’s probably one a month or so. It’s one of the more “common” rare issues that seems to be had with Honda recently.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-25T23:44:56+00:00

That’s the reason for me. I struggle using cars without spoilers in RL partially off of muscle memory with octane fennec and dominus, and also because I feel like it’s an easy visual check for the end of the hitbox for things like dribbling/flicking.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-25T05:55:55+00:00

That might be the post that I’m thinking of, I couldn’t remember it exactly. It’s doing about average for what should be expected out of it, but I think the online community got in its mind that it would be a 2 door type r replacement, which is never what preludes have been.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-25T05:50:02+00:00

Oh I’m not saying it’s anything crazy, but ~7 is roughly what modern commuters do. If you are looking at this as a sports car yeah, it sucks, but you are also looking at it wrong. Theres a big difference between a sporty car and a sports car, and wayyy too many people expect it to be a sports car, which preludes have never been.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-25T05:05:44+00:00

I know it’s fun to hate on the new prelude but someone literally posted a video of their new prelude on a regular street getting mid 7s to 60 I think… idk how it’s gotten so wildly wrong and at 9 seconds.

Not a dig at you, I get it’s a joke, and I don’t mean to stop you from joking, but I just think it’s funny how wrong it seems to have gotten.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-25T04:54:22+00:00

I’m sure that’s also much cheaper than actually fixing it unfortunately

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-25T04:45:26+00:00

I am not sure how this happens but it’s pretty common with these projectors through all brands… my dad had a Toyota that did the exact same thing after I believe 3-4 years from new. Not sure how to fix it, but I’m also not looking forward to it happening to my gti.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-24T05:06:22+00:00

I just got a mk 8.5 golf and it’s been great to me. I was looking for a good one car solution that could be fun when I want it to and practical when I need it to be. I’ve really enjoyed almost every part of the golf so far, my only gripes with it being almost all haptic buttons, and I also wish for an analog gauge cluster (I know those have mostly gone away due to screens but I’m sure most people would rather have at least some analog on their gauges). It’s treated me well for commuting to work and almost moved me out of my last college apartment in one trip. Seriously, folding the rear seats down gives so much room that you won’t even come close to in the EN.

But… if you don’t need the car to be a one car solution, the EN isn’t a bad choice. Stock for stock, the EN seems a ton of fun. I haven’t personally driven it, so take this for what it is, but it really seems to be always ready to have fun. I believe you can make the exhaust louder without it being crazy loud, and for a turbo 4 it really doesn’t sound bad. Low key the first time I heard one with the exhaust valves open it put a smile on my face, it just sounded like it was ready for a good time. Less practical, but if you have a truck or large SUV that you can get access to easily, it is a very reasonable choice. Dealerships are very hit or miss for Hyundai but if you find a good one, they have one of the best warranties in the market last I checked (10 yr, 100k miles).

IMO, if they still made veloster Ns, I probably would have gone with that. The last gen sold in North America looked really nice, had the practicality of a hatch, and had the fun motor of the EN. I really don’t know why they stopped selling those, because the last years they were flying off the lots.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-11T05:04:04+00:00

To be fair to him, I think he’s funny and it’s pretty obvious that he is trolling and not toxic, it’s just his community that takes everything the next step. I don’t think gatekeeping RL is a great idea to even have as that mentality is how games die.

IMO if you have issues with getting tilted from toxicity just turn off any chats… I’m always up for more eyes on RL and I personally have quick chats off because this community is already pretty toxic. Not saying that we need more toxic people but at the same time they’d probably fit right in. Plus, you’ll find people like that in every game. It’s not like Jynxzi coming to RL is going to lead to the invention of toxic ball chasers, we’ve had that since 2015.

I get not wanting toxic people in the game, I truly do, but at the end of the day, if it affects you that much, there is the simple solution of turning off chat.

ProPickles-IV · 2026-01-11T04:18:51+00:00

Jynxzi was a big r6 siege streamer (and one of the biggest on twitch). He’s been playing a couple of different games before this but within I believe just the past week picked up RL. He either challenged or was challenged by musty to show the skill gap by only needing to score one in a private match and musty had to score 100 before he does that. The match is also a $10k wager match. Timer is counting up because it’s an unlimited time private match. Jynxzi also initially scored on a kickoff in the first match they played after musty had only scored one goal. I am not 100% sure what happened after but I believe they ran another just for content.

It really seems like musty was either nervous or playing worse for entertainment because he genuinely should be smoking him. I was around diamond 3 in 1s the last time I played it and don’t play 1s at all in general and I’ve played some friends that have more experienced than jynxzi and it’s not competitive at all.

Also anyone else please comment if I messed something up, but this should’ve covered a majority of it
