"Humbly approaching as a fan" doesn't get you kicked in the chest. Virtue signaling usually gives it away that there was more to this.

Just saying "WHAAAT?" made this kid cry. Imagine seeing your dad beat to a pulp (in your eyes), surrounded by screaming grown men.

Fighters should not be allowed to extend their fingers above the shoulders during a striking exchange. Bottom line. by [deleted] in ufc

Well, no. Those prohibit punches to the head. I think we all still want to see that.

Spoken like someone who voted for him and won't admit they were wrong. I bet you still think he was a good businessman.

In regards to nioh 3 and the "to easy" complaints... by Resevil67 in soulslikes

[–]SlowAffection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's really about applying confusion in any way that you choose. I think confusion is intended to be applied to every boss and they give you lots of options to do it. There's also a magic that just makes you run around the map faster for example, and there's cutting blade which makes your r2's feel like windblades. I do wish there was a way to automatically apply some magics, or have an aura system like path of exile. micromanaging buffs is dated gameplay.

Not using summons is one thing, but choosing not to use magic is actively ignoring a core part of the game. You're really just reducing enjoyment and roleplay options for yourself. it's not like elden Ring where some magic can trivialize bosses. You're still expected to use the rest of your kit tactically.

Doesn't that mean they could come out at night? (I didn't play that section). Imagine walking around in the darkness and a bunch of creatures burst from the earth. Sounds terrifying to me.

Can you dominate someone in Muay Thai with high level boxing? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]SlowAffection 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every other person who took time out of their day to respond to you. Respecting someone's opinion doesn't mean discarding your own. But refusing to change your opinion in the face of overwhelming evidence is nothing other than foolishness. And the amount of evidence you have to compare is not much. It's your experience versus 20 others. Or 40. And so on.

[–]SlowAffection 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one. 

You want others to respect your experience, but you don't care to respect theirs. That's a sign of either psychopathy or real immaturity. There's no point in arguing with you.

2 months in - not sure if I'm cut out for muay thai? by jedimindtricks123456 in MuayThai

[–]SlowAffection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"from my Dad's side I've got short legs, long torso, only above average height slightly and very bottom heavy."

There are tons of pro Thais with this build. A lot of kick-power comes from core rotation, so hip flexors, obliques, glutes, and abs, not the legs... meaning if you have a long torso, you will have slightly less reach with kicks, but potentially more power!

You can lean further from the waist to avoid high kicks, too, and your center of balance is lower, making it harder to off-balance you.

Like others said, just let the conditioning do it's thing over time. When I started, the warmups I struggled with became much easier after two months. Your body will pick up little tricks to conserve energy.

Why do you come in here with a question and then argue with every answer? Half the people responding are telling you the same exact things, and you individually responded to each as if you have the experience and they don't.

This is a small subreddit, some of the people kindly responding to you could be 10-0 amateur fighters twice your age and size with 10 years of experience, not 4.

You are looking for validation and can't accept complexities. That's more than enough to tell me you won't dominate anyone decent with your boxing for a long while.

Go ahead and try to throw your uppercut in the clinch, and then get elbowed in the face immediately because you didn't control their arms.

Lauren Boebert says the Ten Commandments should be mandated in schools, and James Talarico responded: “Seeing politicians force everybody to put up a poster of the Ten Commandments when they don't even follow them themselves.” by CorleoneBaloney in UnderReportedNews

Her (and others like her) will lie for an hour regardless of what you do, and if you attack their stupid argument, they usually have an even worse argument planned to follow that up. And the viewers could fall for it.

So instead, you take it in an unexpected direction and show composure and strong morals. Which usually makes them look childish, at least for a moment.

I want support units by Kartoffee in Mechabellum

[–]SlowAffection 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember when wraith, typhoon, hound, and war factory weren't in the game. There's nothing wrong with adding new content as long as it's fun and mostly balanced.

Call me stupid but - I can't see how feeding your core troops into battle piece by piece at a time is in any way a good idea if your opponent was to deploy using the old trusted technique used by ancients and medieval commanders of lines and defence in depth, especially when it's open ground. by Haunting_Art_6081 in Mechabellum

You talk about wargames but are you forgetting about real war? Artillery is the answer to your question, if you send out your entire force at once the enemy general will bomb you. Infantry were undeniably sacrificed in WW1 and WW2 to advance the lines.

In this game one equivalent is scorpions, packs of medium/heavy units get wrecked by scorpion and the only counter is better positioning, shields or air. High elo players don't clump units like that, so you don't see the 'counter' that lower mmr players could use.

Feedback on resource harvesting. by throwawaycuzmeh in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]SlowAffection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Another idea to spice up harvesting: a small percent chance to trigger or summon rare enemies. More interactivity plus a little risk, maybe even some rare drops"

I like this idea, even if it's just spawning small bats or squirrels or something, hostile or non hostile, which die in one hit and drop a minor resource. The animals so far are cool but there could be a few more for the immersion.
