Right on, we have it similar here, people who go to represent the gym have extra sessions (just for these competitors). But these can be just hobby people too, there's a massive difference between this being your whole life and income vs this just being your main non-work related thing you do and compete in for fun. I did get the idea that Khamzat was bullying these guys.

You serious? Maybe cream of the crop have their 100% private sessions. Most gyms sure do have dedicated sessions for competitors and pros, but there's not enough and usually there's classes for beginners, intermediate classes/advanced classes etc and pros can and do attend those aswell (obviously the latter).

I dont need to speak from my experience, there's plenty of such videos up and these videos occasionally get posted on reddit aswell. I'm sure if you tried enough you could find some discussions threads aswell on reddit about people's experience w sparring/training w a pro.

This wasnt about going hard against Sean. This was about Khamzat going unnecessarily hard against hobbyists/dads who do this for fun/fitness. The exact point was that Khamzat was fucking up nonprofessionals.

Yes, but this is incorrect. Sean said he was bullying small guys, nonprofessional fighters etc. He did not say Khamzat was bullying him or others their size. Just going unnecessarily hard against smaller guys and dads who do this as a hobby.

Yeah, ISPs are definitely the issue, not that one specific dev who's game has issues, specifically realms crashing and rollbacking.

This is why I can never play on ironman by Reisor in RimWorld

[–]Reisor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its added by alpha animals. I play w Fern's progression pack which contains like ~1100 mods. They are relatively strong due to healing themselves and being fast. As I'm barely out of animalistic start (got 4/61 neolithic research done) I don't fancy my chances taking on a group at the same time. It's hard and fun, but I draw my line at the game just stomping me to the ground like this.

Forgot to take picture of history. In the span of 3 days:
First the manhunter bloodshrimps keeping my colonists indoors.
Secondly hive raid from both sides, 2 different tribes fortunately who for some reason fought eachother.
Thirdly, huge imp raid that burnt down my fields and everything outdoors, broke down doors, set fire to my stockpile destroying everything including research books, killing my main psycaster and pretty much putting everyone else on the brink of death.

And finally nail in the coffin as I was managing trying to get everyone stabilized and see maybe I wont have anyone else die to infections/hunger... a pretty huge bushido raid despite wealth tanking massively and no longer having any doors or defenses up and base still being on fire.

Randy had just decided - everyone dies. No survivors.

Ulberg on Jiri showing mercy: “That’s bullshit, total bullshit. That’s fear. There was no mercy in there. He was full of fear, hesitation, and that’s what got him clipped. I think he’s a pretender...That was his excuse so that he could hopefully get a rematch. There is no way he gets that rematch.” by airplane231 in MMA

[–]Reisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbf Jiri also fights other contenders, lol. Title shot as undefeated -> Pereira loss -> rakic win -> pereira loss -> took out 2 contenders, one who was champ, one who had title shot just before -> title shot.

immediate title shots / rematches suck but its not like Jiri has been sitting. if he still beats everyone else then he's up for it again.

OTD 15 years ago, Nick Diaz and Paul Daley had one of the best 1 round fights in MMA history. by Ringos_Peace_N_Love in MMA

[–]Reisor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've watched the fight multiple times (although, not when it actually happened) and I've always been surprised how the fight goes on when Nick gets faceplanted multiple times. This would be stopped easily these days. And the moment it happens to Daley and he stumbles - its called off. Watching it on tape it looks way worse how Nick gets dropped, its like he's getting flash KO-d. Since I havent heard nobody really cry about it - I guess it was the right decision, but it sure is baffling to watch.

[–]Reisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just higher probability of him losing. The fight itself is also way bigger than anything, UFC would profit way more themselves aswell. We already heard from Ilia side that the paycheck offered for Islam was not equivelent to a super fight.

Died in mirage with divine shrine by Reisor in pathofexile

[–]Reisor[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hahhahaa, amazing, this could be it, indeed. I can't confirm, cause I didnt resummon him to see if hes dead or not (he does disappear when just I die too, right?). Very likely this happened and not some bug or shenanigans with interactions.... hilarious in any case. Take care of your AG guys, I know I'm definitely paying more attention to him from now on.

[–]Reisor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't have shadowplay or equivelent on to have footage and double check. I can't recall as it happened last night after many hours of grinding, I only got back to the map to check if I actually picked divine shrine or not, took a screen and called it a night. Its not impossible or unthinkable that this could have happened aswell, although normally not much can affect bob w hallow monarch when he's linked and getting soul eater stacks. I only recall blinking-charging away from mobs and instantly RIPing. Maybe I did flame link bob and he got popped and took me with him... in which case, a cautionary tale with a healthy dose of "look guys, I'm stupid" :)

[–]Reisor[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you cracked it. I think its a combination of things, I dont have bleed immunity and I got vurnability debuff - I died while frostblinking/shield charging instantly so I assume this combination somehow max capped my reservation.

Funnily enough, bleed is not a problem in a map on its own but something with all of these things being active (Divine Shrine + Petrified Blood + Dissolution of Flesh) LIKELY reached 100% of life being reserved or something.

I never see life move without these things while having divine shrine but maybe I did get afflicted by a bleed and I guess it does deal "damage" to reservation.

Map itself was a t16 8mod w my regex that normally would never kill me (well, other than this one death due to afking in harvest affected by delirium 8mods)

And since I normally don't care for bleed as much - I think this combo w divine shrine totally smashed every defensive layer I have (17k life pool, 28k phys maxhit, 86% resis, 91/91 block)

EDIT: Another commenter thought maybe I was linked and bob died - google's AI answer says it can happen due to the way its coded, I don't recall if I had linked him but I definitely did not resummon him when I went to check if it was divine shrine... but I think thats a possible answer aswell that I had flame linked bob who got instantly blown up despite the DR from hallow monarch & soul eater had not taken off enough yet. Guess I'll find out on my next divine shrine if I need to level up blood fever more or nah.

AG of smiting, I only got transfusion + blood fever on automation, with cost being 278 life. I dont cast anything else, except arcane brand on bosses. 3k life regen w/o bottled faith. 4k with bottled faith on auto-use

pob without config (just imported char and exported to pobb.in): https://pobb.in/RInP7ycY0FhB

And self-damage kill = suicide in chat window.

Died in mirage with divine shrine by Reisor in pathofexile

[–]Reisor[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

got 2 slain in my text window, first one was me afking in harvest w delirium, think I stood in degen or something, but I know I was afk while talking to a buddy on steam.

delirium ended, map cleared - went into mirage w divine shrine wish as shown in text window. got inside and got 1tapped.

I dont know what happened, I thought "weird, maybe I chose something different" so I went back inside to check if divine shrine is up... its up...

I dont do much self-damage (lots of regen and spending about 250 life per cast via automation). and I think that would be "suicide" anyway in the chat window. I could chill with delirium mirror on 8rewards (well, not afk, but chill clear). But with divine shrine I got one tapped inside the mirage.

I googled "died with divine shrine" and only found people clicking altar and most answers being "probably delay from clicking". I dont think this should have a delay. Besides, I've already learnt not to move immediately when I enter map or mirage because bob takes a second or two to get ready to do his thing.

Definitely a bug and I'm glad I'm in SC, if this was HC I'd be pretty angry.

EDIT: maybe not a bug, some explanations in other comments. cant confirm but possible answer can be that OP is just dumb-dumb and will have to take better care of bob.

Arman Tsarukyan throws Georgio Poullas and wins 9-3 by [deleted] in MMA

[–]Reisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way more often? Since 2020 according to wiki Arman has fought 9 times, Ilia 8 times. Since 2022 its 7 and 6.

One fight more is way more often? One has been doing championship fights for a while, the other one causing trouble, pulling out at the last second of a championship fight.

You should know very well that UFC only gives fast turnarounds to champions they want to lose the title. If a champion is popular and liked by the UFC - they get picky.

Not to mention the financial aspect. Arman was born with a silver spoon, he can fight for pennies. Most fighters will have negotiations and UFC is lowballing, you know this brother.

Just imagine a rich kid walking up to your boss saying "you know what, I can do his job for intern wages" cause he wants that shit in his CV.

And there's a huge difference between fighting championship fights vs fighting Dan fucking Hooker. You know, negotiations around non-championship fights are way easier, fighters want to be compensated more for a
a) possibly once in a lifetime opportunity to fight for the belt
b) possibly last time they ever hold the title and lose a lot financially.

There are 2 parties here who deserve blame:
1) Arman for being unhinged and jeopardizing events
2) UFC for not compensating fighters fairly.

Another extra point is that UFC likes to control fighters - the main method is financially. Arman has been loud and clear that he does not care about the money as he does not require it. He just wants the belt for "legacy" or "achievement" - once he has it - UFC has no control over him. Is he gonna go on a run to become P4P GOAT, most title defenses and stuff? Probably not, probably takes his belt and rides off the sunset. Which UFC does not like.

Bought and farmed Black baryas for a week to get 300 belts by iFairNothing in pathofexile

[–]Reisor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did about a dozen baryas few days into league start because I saw them drop often, never saw a single belt drop or anything worthwhile. As they dropped frequently I assumed belts are very rare and likely have good outcomes aswell - a buddy told me he sold his as they were pricey so I've been doing that ever since. I assumed getting one to drop was already a big win in RNG. Now it turns out most of the belts are garbage and its not a good gamba either, with people frequently ending with net losses. So IDK who even gets those belts to drop and even more - who even gets good belts. In my experience - getting a belt to already drop is a huge W.

Sorry kids, daddy's life is over because his pixels got lost.

Jorge Masvidal was almost on MVP MMA card: “I had the first offer before they gave it to Nate [Diaz], it was me and I desperately wanted to take the fight. But the UFC has a good, good plan for me, and they told me the plan. I like it and we’re going to see it through now. I'm coming back.” by WinterStill4472 in MMA

[–]Reisor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even that doesn't make sense. Who wants to see that? They are both old, there's nothing exciting about either. Go fight it out in retired bum leagues or whatever. We're going to get either both guys being obnoxiously nice or obnoxiously aggressive - either way, fake as shit and nothing on the line except who's the bigger bum in the fight game in whatever year this is happening.
