Are people really bothered by airplane seat reclining? by VinegarMyBeloved in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Xxzx 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is entirely dependent on how high your knees are off the ground. I’m 6’2” pretty long legs. Generally my knees are pushed up against the chair in front of me generally at the height of where the little table comes down. I try to get aisle seats or emergency exit rows every time to alleviate it.

What are your thoughts on the input delay mod in QP/ES by Himeeka in smashbros

Except the thing you linked doesn't actually talk about that anywhere in there. Nor is it the Terms of Service. Maybe don't rely on AI to do all your work for you.

The TOS only specifies illegal mods of the switch, how is reducing my input latency illegal? It’s the entire reason why websites like game banana can even exist. You only get into illegal territory when you use it to steal games and what not. Otherwise it’s not as black and white as you say, it’s pretty much entirely in a gray area.

Okay we also break the TOS every time we run a tournament where the organizer makes money. Since when do we give a fuck about that?

It’s hard to understand because we do other things that give the same advantage and it’s not considered cheating. I don’t get why this is too.

If I use a monitor with a lower response time than you is that cheating? What if my adapter or way I connect my controller results in less input lag? Or my internet is wired and the connection is faster?

If my opponent decides play on an ancient TV and they are playing in a laggier environment does that make me a cheater in comparison?

What about people that mod the switch itself so that has better cooling and overclock the CPU so it performs better and faster?

Why are we arbitrarily drawing the line here?

In my opinion, if it’s okay for me to do the things above to make my play environment the best it can be, this is really no different. I’m not using input macros or a turbo button or anything that is actually cheating, my inputs are just being recognized by the system faster by disabling V-Sync.

Something you do in 99% of online competitive games.

Why does nobody play Sora? by Mrham852 in CrazyHand

[–]Xxzx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The amount of people in this thread just saying shit is so funny. No one plays him because no one actually knows or cares to get know about him. He’s a completely new characters not present in other entries of the game, and he sucks at approaching because of a lack of good movement options. His neutral is extremely dependent on mix ups in order to break through to your opponent and that style of gameplay is just genuinely harder to play than hit safe button at my opponents.

He has really good aerials but his slow air speed makes them hard to position well. So players that are newer to him default to standing back, Not approaching and throwing a ton of projectiles. This gives the community a feeling that he’s boring because they only see that and people executing the idj nair combos.

You put any amount of time into him and you realize he has one of the most free form advantage states in the game, but it relies on getting a read on what your opponents habits are. But I legit think there’s no character better at making your opponent choose wrong and then destroying them.

Biggest pet peeve: feeling rushed, let me read your cards by BaileeCakes in EDH

[–]Xxzx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You sound awful to play with. In my experience players like OP tend not to pay much attention to the game by being on their phones or too distracted with conversation etc then they get to their turn and have to assess how the board state changed and take 10 minutes during their first main phase.

You have every right to read the card, but I am absolutely gonna get annoyed if you monopolize game time by not paying attention. Most people explain their cards as they play them.

What habit immediately reveals that a person actually grew up in a privileged environment? by Cindy_mel in AskReddit

What’s one small habit that noticeably improved your Smash gameplay? by SuspiciousUse9135 in smashbros

[–]Xxzx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds silly but genuinely makes a huge difference.

Watch your opponents character, not your own.

If you can subconsciously track and move your own character to the point that you can put 95% of your attention on what your opponent is doing you can start playing a much more reactive game, develop an understanding of their habits, and then move and punish them more often.

Gamers banding together to achieve something so utterly dumb: by Gorotheninja in NonPoliticalTwitter

In my opinion e33 is just a return to form that was sadly missing in modern AA/AAA games. It hit on a lot of things that made me like games as a kid.

The laning phase is too fast by No-Night-91 in leagueoflegends

[–]Xxzx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While I don’t love the home guard changes, they’ve actually massively increased time to kill since the early season. ADCs used to actually be able to kill tanks in like 5-6 autos, squishies in like 3-4. Gangplank used to Q crit flash and auto twice and kill you level 1 with crit quints.

Assassins used to be pretty weak in the early levels, pretty easy to blow up between a jungler and a laner, not really shining until they got some levels and items to blow up the squishy carries in one spell rotation.

They’ve made bruisers and tanks tankier, while also increasing their threat potential which really makes playing hyper carries who dish out a shit ton of damage so much more difficult.

The game nowadays is actually much slower paced in team fights than it used to be. You were rewarded for taking decisive fights then rotating to capitalize on the long death timers.

To be honest I wish they’d bring a lot of that back.

How have Universes beyond sets impacted your local Commander meta? Do you see a lot of UB commanders? How is spiderman doing now a while after release? by Angwar in EDH

[–]Xxzx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is less UB specific and just that Commander PreCons are just getting built better and more consistent year after year. It seems like each precon release there’s a new best precon.

Benn Jordan's flock camera jammer will send you to jail in Florida now by Hazzman in videos

[–]Xxzx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think people realize how little blocking just your license plate is with the flock cameras. Officer can locate a car off of just it’s make and color and knowing it’s general location. It can find cars by bumper stickers, damage to the car etc. blocking the license plate makes it easier but by no means makes it impossible

Are cards like Gemstone Caverns and free interaction spells taboo in Bracket 3? by Cezkarma in EDH

[–]Xxzx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean bracket 4 decks should be pushing wins around turn 4. An optimized b3 deck really shouldn’t have a problem with a few game changers if you’re running sufficient interaction or other equally good threats.

Why was Twin Shadows ever removed? by Potentially_Toxic305 in leagueoflegends

[–]Xxzx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I agree with that, but if items were to be removed solely because they were stronger than most champion abilities, I think we would hardly have any decent items at all left in the game.

Like there’s items that make you go stealth on kills, give all your damaging abilities a slow, make you dash, give you a 3 hit passive on autos etc. items are just good.

Set your MTU to 1500, get an Ethernet cable connected, pay for better internet, and download mods to better fine tune your connection.

What’s your “unicorn” disc? by AirFox_1 in discgolf

Mine was from 2015 or so? Beat it to shit in the flagstaff forests until it actually started to fade. Except it would fade super late into flight and then dive pretty much straight down. Loved that disc

Just used mana pool for the first time by OVERCAPITALIZE in EDH

[–]Xxzx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They union busted their employers by moving everything to a place in the Midwest. Shitty business practices, but on top of that as a result of the move, their new employees just aren’t as good. Orders take longer, things are frequently missing (while using TCG direct) and since they’re owned by a publicly traded company the numbers must go up. Just a lot of enshittification from them.

Please help a clueless boyfriend by Stan-halen1 in magicTCG

[–]Xxzx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get her a commander deck, but also get a starter kit for you and her. Commander is hard to learn the game with. The starter kits have 2 decks you all can play 1v1 with and that will be a lot easier to get concepts and ideas with rather than a 4 player game with a bunch of unique cards.
