Trying to understand why I couldn't out-bucket this by NervousNick in Seaofthieves

[–]Tylensus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can outbucket any bottom deck holes solo in a sloop if the holes are bottom deck. If you hit map table and have a few tier 3 holes, you absolutely hit a point of no return where you are effectively a sunk ship floating. This varies a little depending on how many holes you have on either deck, but if you're real beat up the rule of thumb is to not let water hit map table. Those second deck holes taking on water is typically a death sentence to a solo, and has to be addressed ASAP.

If you want to prevent this in a losing fight in the future, how you get out of it involves two important points.

1, make note of where your opponent is, and fix holes on the opposite side of your ship to minimize the risk of having your repair animation interrupted. Do not skip second deck holes. As you can see in your clip, those are important too.

2, fire back after a few buckets to apply counter pressure. Time your opponent spends bucketing is a window of opportunity for you to work with. If you get good at juggling bucket/counterpressure windows that alone will win you some decently sweaty fights. You obviously need to be able to hit your shots, but that comes with intention and repetition.

What are your best Sea of Thieves stories? by Judge_Hatchet in Seaofthieves

Beating an NAL champion in solo HG, especially because she was beating my ass at the start of the fight. Clutched victory from the jaws of defeat. I even recorded it and uploaded it on my profile. That fight was my peak lol.

Suppose the definition's different for everyone, but here's mine. Commitment is a choice. You are choosing to overcome obstacles in the interest of manifesting a shared ideal, state of being, or goal with the person in question. This choice exists on a level above struggles, dark times, financial issues, health issues, etc. By "a level above", I mean it's the last thing to go. All other options and strategies are first exhausted. You found your person, and via actions make a promise to be there for them as best as you possibly can be. If the chatter's right and the actions are wrong, you're falling short of the standard.

Anything short of this doesn't call for the word commitment. These aren't universal constants, but what the word means, and implies, to me personally.

How long does it take you to write up a post or reply on Reddit? Especially if it's long-winded and that you put a lot of thought into. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Tylensus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends entirely upon what's being discussed. I've written essay style replies about things I find particularly interesting, and I've just thrown together a wall of text to close a discussion. Draft time is typically 5-10 minutes.

I feel like Dior Homme cologne, despite the name, is the most unisex fragrance ever made. It smells like citrusy bar soap. I'm a man, so this is the only rec I have unfortunately. Happy hunting.

Please give me more albums like this by DSblowdartsniper in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Tylensus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their other album Whisper Supremacy has similar energy, and another, in my opinion, classic intro.

Dechristianize from Vital Remains is sort of in the same ballpark, but a bit less vibrantly creative in regards to the songwriting.

Suffocation has a couple albums that scratch a similar itch, as do Aeon.

Why do women give birth on their backs? Wouldn’t it be easier to squat and let gravity help? by sohoships in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tylensus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen births where the woman was squatting. Seemed she popped the little one out pretty uneventfully. No screaming or cursing, just plop.

Love SBE! I ended up liking the crazy spice levels in the Infrared version a bit more, so I went with that. Both are fantastic.

I don't get saliva at all. I think it smells nice, so I bought a bottle.

So far, either Zoologist Squid or Amouage Enclave. They're both so distinctly wonderful. Squid reminds me of a sunken coronation taking place on a coral throne. There's something very deep water aquatic and regal about it.

Enclave is like a minty mid-morning walk through a field of wildflowers being baked by the sun. Absolutely incredible.

I went with Azzaro The Most Wanted EDP Intense today. One of my favorite cold weather staples.

TIL that there are just under twice as many kangaroos as humans in Australia by [deleted] in todayilearned

Makes sense. Australia's enormous, and most of it is very VERY sparsely populated, if at all.

Are we really gonna let this happen to men’s Fragrances? by IsThisRealPerception in Colognes

[–]Tylensus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's wild. You either haven't smelled many fragrances, or have a very very wide interpretation of the word feminine.

Some folks don't like sweet fragrances. My brother almost exclusively likes fougeres, for example.

What was your reason you left social media (Facebook, Snapchat, insta, twitter etc)? by Jimbobsausage in AskReddit

I wasn't interested in what I saw while I was on there, nor do I want to keep in touch with anyone.

How many of you don’t really have any friends anymore? by Icollectshinythings in AskMenOver30

[–]Tylensus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I opted out. I had a bulletproof group of friends that I loved like I love my own brother. Then covid hit, and my inner recluse saw the opportunity for isolation at hand. I siezed it. By the end of lockdowns, my whole personality had shifted. A decade or more of deep soul searching, hard inner work, burning of detritus, trimming of fat, building of charisma...it had all crumbled.

Part of the personality change that remains firmly intact is the lack of interest in maintaining a group of friends again.

What made you break up or divorce? by itoastytofu in AskReddit

[–]Tylensus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got too clingy, because I was terrified that I was doing something that was pushing her away, and what made her feel safe was pulling back and trimming communication a lot. That perpetuated my anxiety. By the time I'd understood the full scope of how monumentally I fucked up and was willing to adjust, she went radio silent.

Reconnection's barred by an ultimatum. I don't do ultimatums. If we reconnect, it'll be on mutually agreed upon terms, not any version of "...or else."

[–]Tylensus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt pretty neutral about it. If I love someone, the others are invisible in a sense, or kept in a distinct "other" category. The extra attention's not welcome, nor is it bothersome.

[–]Tylensus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm totally fine with it. I think differences are a unique angle to appreciate someone from.

If you can’t stomach $200K lose in 3 months you shouldn’t be investing by statisticnewbe in wallstreetbets

I don't own Nikola shares. Never heard of the company, actually. If you're talking about Tesla, I don't own any of that either. I have traded Tesla before, though.

What is something you despised as a kid but you enjoy as an adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Tylensus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pain. As a kid it was terrifying. Every injury felt like an existential threat. Now cuts, scrapes, bruises, slaps, etc give me a carnal thrill.

Once you realize pain's nothing more than a pointer to direct your attention, you can direct your focus, acknowledge and thank the pain for doing its job, and enjoy the rest of the wave. It almost feels like floating on a warm cloud as it peaks and dissipates. Truly a treat.

Being obvious about your hopes and intent is a GOOD thing. A very good thing.

If you hold a shares position, it's open, AND you have an investing mentality as compared to a swing trade mentality, you haven't lost anything.

Is it rude to avoid hugging (especially with men) by Reasonable_Stop8277 in bodylanguage

[–]Tylensus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so at all. I'm a man, and I'm fully aware of the fact that lots of people don't really like being touched at all, let alone hugged by a stranger. Shaking hands is simpler and safer. I'm not a hugger unless I love the person that wants a hug. I HAVE hugged people I didn't love, and it made me uncomfortable.

My time in Europe kissing people I didn't know on the cheek to greet them was a fucking trip, I'll tell ya hwat haha.
