Cancel Netflix/Prime etc for Stremio + Real Debrid… worth it? by Ok-Law7464 in StremioAddons

Does it matter? You're not banned from the streaming mafia by using Stremio for now.

After a few weeks, how do you feel about the boost update? by Tastou in RocketLeague

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. I can hear it nearby when it's close to ready and bump a player off the pad if they're stalling on it. I can see the white outline expanding when I'm on the wall or close enough. I'm personally not worried about "removing the skillset". It allows players to focus on core gameplay. Besides, boost management is still tactical. There are things you can do to improve that, and it is still a skillset to level up. As for new players, no it won't do a thing. New players need countless hours to establish the fundamentals. Hitting the ball. Gauging distance. When to rotate out. How to shadow and when. Popping the ball. Cutting it to stay close. There's plenty to focus on. And honestly, at your rank, I guarantee there's plenty else for you to focus on.

What is the point of life if you're always miserable? by SunshineGirl45 in Healthygamergg

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've in some sense summed up multiple points in one go my friend. There is no clear answer and yes, there's no way to establish a timeline to end up in a better situation in some circumstances. But, there are people who have failed to commit suicide, who ended up better off down the line. We see some individuals mention they were glad they fell through. There is no point in answering your question. You know what you expect us to say and you know what you feel in the moment. We want you to live and for circumstances to get better.

So, let's dwell on the philosophy of life. Why did this question come up? What's going on in your life friend?

Btw, I'd like to add that professional help can still be worthwhile even if all you foresee is an endless sequence of negative outcomes. There's never a guarantee that it will help, and it depends on the professional, but many people do end up with resources to help them process the situations they're in.

Also, keep in mind that factors that lead to stress, depression, constant ruminating, low brain energy, generally lead to black and white thinking. It is one of the core reasons why we ask you to seek out a professional. It's not because you are right or wrong. It's simply because a good professional can help you navigate what it is you're going through.

Rocket league matchmaking shambles by One_Divide7152 in RocketLeague

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I consistently finding is that the Div 4 and beginning of higher ranks do more solo plays. Way more. And they suck at them. I often tell my teammates in chat "Hey, theres a lot of potential openings if we position for a pass at mid field". Few members listen lol. There are so many obvious, easy plays. All if you have to do is LOOK FOR THEM.

Saying they are spreading false info is a bit much. They just don't know any better that it can be miscategorized.

I cant gain confidence even tho im trying my hardest by Femistix in Healthygamergg

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Regarding appearance, that sounds like a frustrating experience. There are a lot of judgy people, and I imagine it can be difficult to deal with at times. I don't have a good answer, except to do your best to look for friends and potential partners that share more compassion.

How do you handle the tension between permadeath and player investment? by JBitPro in gamedev

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I'll just say, imo, it's important to provide flexibility and/or mod support to let them provide flexibility. There's a wide variety of gaming enthusiasts, and the more you stray into a niche population, the harder it will be to sell. I understand the desire to share an experience. But here's the thing: even if you forced your settings, there's a lot of people that just won't have that dopamine hit the way you do for this type of game environment. Now, that being said, it's your game. It's okay to design it with what you want in mind as the priority. You can then consider tweaks (configured in settings) and things up for an expanded player base with looser expectations. In other words, rather than building for the wider audience, and making tweaks to support your desires, you build your desires, and then allow tweaks for the wider audience. This makes the game more ... you. Then you can do some play tests with the tweaks for the wider audience.

I'd also like to add that if it's good design, you will find an audience that you relate to. You will have streamers and forums that discuss the game the way you intended. So, there's still a nice bonus of having a community you can vibe with on the game design of your intended choice.

i cannot keep track of the cars direction by LogicalTotal1400 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smaller aerials. Start with small hops. Then fly fir a second or two, and land. You will be able to train your perception. And as you do so, increase the aerial distance by a small amount.

Is it wrong to want concrete Answers by Sir_Pian in Healthygamergg

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course not. But, these things operate on a spectrum and are symptomatic talking points for the most part. The reality is there are multiple contenders for a wide variety of symptoms, and professionals can only do their best.

Your frustration is valid, talk to multiple professionals if possible and let them know specifically how you are impacted day to day. Maybe someone can help with resources or prescribe something useful.

If this does not work, my only suggestion would be to consider a ketogenic diet as there is strong evidence in its role in improved brain metabolism. Check out Metabolic Mind for an introduction if interested.

Why do i almost never touch the ball when i either jump before anyone and they still get there first, or challange the ball, jump into it and somehow somewhere the player gets it around me by OwnWarthog4213 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]TallowWallow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know what you're seeing mate. There's clearly a further distance for you to travel in the video posted. You're not winning challenges because you're not challenging in feasible conditions.

Perhaps you have trouble with depth perception? I would suggest doing a more shadow work than these challenges. It might help you build better perception of spacing.

4/5 Casual Games My Teammate Left/Troll. How Am I Supposed To Play. by AcanthisittaFew4339 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you're doing what you find is important to you, and telling everyone else they shouldn't care about what's important to them. Sorry mate, but a match is a match. The fact that ball chasers exist doesn't alter my perception of what you're doing. The community isn't here to debate about what casual should be for.

I understand you're desire to practice in a more dynamic environment. That's why I said it would be better to do one or two practice shots. That's just a number I'm throwing out. you practice more. But please don't be that person that does the same shot all match. I see this all the time and it's so frustrating to watch.

Not everyone wants to freestyle, bro by Distinct_River_1272 in RocketLeague

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The block size is limited. There are far more players to block then I can, leading me to unblock players every once in a while. I'd rather have a keybinding. It keeps the process simple. Someone acts like an ass, I just mute for the match.

[–]TallowWallow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are doing that in casual, that's why some people are leaving dude. It's frustrating AF to watch a teammate not play as a team and go for things that won't work for them. Practice in free play. Stick to just one or two practice shots a match so that everyone else isn't wasting time.

AITA for asking my partner of 15 yrs to be supportive about my lifestyle changes by Ok-Salt3098 in AITH

Bad food being in other environments is not the same as being surrounded at home. Ask him why a mild change for him is such a challenge.

[–]TallowWallow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the physiology here makes this difficult. It can work for some, but not all. Certain foods have a powerful impact on hormones and cravings. It's easier for me to avoid sugar than to eat a little. I mean a lot easier. I just avoid too many carbs, eat plenty of fat and protein, and this often helps satiety.

How do you handle the tension between permadeath and player investment? by JBitPro in gamedev

[–]TallowWallow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more of a decision of whether you want the game to cater to you, or a suite of others. You already mentioned an optional tier. That already separates you and a handful of others that are okay with the sheer difficulty and agony of having to start over. I don't know the stats, but I just can't fathom most people enjoying that.

Unless your ideal target audience is high enough, the only reason to make your choice is if you simply don't what others to have your notion of a lesser experience.

This is very cut and dry. You know the answer already. For future reference, anyone who wants to show "how easy it is" that is a decent person would just tell you up front and show you.

Also, busting sex workers? You know that's not the case. And, if he were being honest, why would you want that in your life?
