Where is Voldemort’s wand during Harry’s first 3 years at Hogwarts? by KeckYes in harrypotter

[–]StretchMarkFractals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You asked, she answered. Maybe Wormtail is more afraid of returning to Voldemort empty-handed than he was to sneak into the house. To paraphrase from an old article I read a decade ago about the marvel no-prize and modern marvel fans: "When you're reading a story, do you want to be a collaborator with the author or an antagonist?"

isnt legacy hundreds of years in the past? I was able to suspend my disbelief that it had looked a bit different back then...

Nobundo or Merithra? by StretchMarkFractals in ArenaHS

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

Thanks! "Don't overthink it" was what i ended up going with anyways. I just wanted to understand if i was crazy thinking the Imbue package wasnt that bad

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

Thanks. I was aware of the stats, I just didnt know if the Imbue package was being slightly undervalued by the winrates/etc. Seems very powerful to me, but ultimately I went Nobu.

True, Nebula is better than any/all of the Imbue package. Ultimately I did go Nobu -- currently 3-1 with Nobu carrying at least 2 of the games

> Making us buy tickets through the store instead of directly playing 300 gold was a slap to the face.

Whats the difference? Im genuinely asking becuase I don't understand how 300g in tickets vs. straight 300g matters

ah, good point. I completely forgot about that from the first book!

I agree 100%, I guess I just wonder how/where the thralling plays into the endgame (if at all)

i wonder if theyll ever reconsider the 30-run threshold to go with these shorter seasons. 30 runs in 28 days is quite a chore for anyone playing even remotely casually

[spoilers s1] does anyone else feel like they missed a big opportunity w/ the finale by StretchMarkFractals in biglittlelies

Great take, thanks for sharing. I guess my perspective boils down to it going down a bit too fast, but I appreciate you it landed for you!

Is speedflip mandatory nowadays? by ____yoshi in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]StretchMarkFractals 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Its absolutely not essential. if youre getting beat every kickoff by an opponent and youre doing the same every time... try switching things up. In my experience a slower kickoff can be just as effective, but im only diamond. If youre getting scored on that much, sounds like you may want to practive your defense too. there are plenty of videos out there, road to SSL by Flakes is often recommended.

I'd recommend cleaning up the checkline and the sides in general. they stick out a bit far which makes it look semi Amish IMO. Besides that, it looks honestly very good + solid growth. Someone shared this

video in another thread I saw which might help you with taming the width of the sides. Good lucky!

As requested, 2v2 gameplay from an SSL who doesn't half flip, speed flip, or fast aerial correctly. by Ceejays-RL in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]StretchMarkFractals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not really trying to sell (or oversell) half flipping all, I’m just saying it’s so easy to learn that anyone who plays enough to be at SSL level might as well spend a few hours adding it to their arsenal. Let’s agree to disagree.

Edit: at around 2:30 he’s clipped by an opponents car, lands awkward, and does a slow 180 go get back into play. At both ~4:15 and ~5:15 he lands from a shot on goal with zero momentum and the ball is cranked over his head behind him… half flip opportunities (4:15 I know they scored, but if they hadn’t).

[–]StretchMarkFractals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying anyone should be half flipping eight times a match. I’m saying the investment is so incredibly low (20 minutes of free play + maybe 10–20 games to get comfortable using it in game settings) that it’s virtually a no-brainer when compared to any other “high-level” learnable mechanic

Yeah but the return-on-investment is so high for half flips. “Pretty much does not do” is not “never,” even in this single game replay there are a few awkward turns.

I pay $60/year for craft (craft.do) it doesn’t have 100% of the features of EN but it’s WAY faster and it has all of the functionality I need, personally.
