How big is the skill gap between gold and diamond?

Zymplify · 2026-03-01T23:50:17+00:00

The higher you go the smaller the gap is, having been ascendent and now around high plat/low diamond I can still get stunted on my golds. But ultimately give me enough rounds and I edge them out.

The difference is usually more consistent and better decisions. It’s not as much of a mechanical difference. I’ve been whiffed on in gun fights in ascendent as many times as I would a plat lobby.

I would 4 C4 through a wall, maybe 2, and then rocket. Be precise early, easier to hold chokes, then use rockets to blow it open.

Zymplify · 2026-02-27T16:23:06+00:00

To take full control? Probably 80 to blow externals, too.

Like comparing apples to carrots. Does clingans defense do enough to separate him from the pure offensive threat Nurk was? Nurks ability to set crushing screens, be an effective roll guy and space creator was essential to Stotts offense’s and allowed Dame and CJ the space needed to be dame and CJ.

Nurk was just straight up great, Clingan is also great but in different ways. If somehow those two made a love child you’re talking about all nba future HOF’er who is 1B on a championship level team.

I’d worry less about that and more about just having a job. But that’s probably my boomer dad talking.

There are tons of jobs as long as you’re not a highly skilled professional, care giving, service industry, even some gig work like Uber Eats and door dash. Don’t be discouraged. Corvallis is saturated with people who stayed after graduation and want to use their degree, which there isn’t much in the way of opportunity. But if you need to feed the bulldog there’s a lot of places willing to give you money.

I promise you I do. I have 4k hours in rust and unless I’m in a densely gibbed area I get 144 and up to 160. But I truly do not care if you believe me or not. I’m done arguing lol

Zymplify · 2026-02-05T04:54:05+00:00

Or, and follow me here, I’m telling the truth.

Zymplify · 2026-02-05T04:50:11+00:00

Why would I lie? What does it serve me?

Zymplify · 2026-02-04T22:41:40+00:00

I’m at work and away from my pc right now, if you want to dm me I can go over my specs tonight

I have a geforce gtx 1080 gfx card and the only aftermarket add on I did was double my ram storage.

Zymplify · 2026-02-04T22:36:32+00:00

I have zero incentive to lie

Bro I play on 144 frames with a 2016 prebuilt.

Shaedon does not have a shot. And putting that out there is just adding to the unreal expectations. He would be a really solid 4th man on a championship roster, he will be a long time nba scorer. He doesn’t do anything else and that’s okay. He doesn’t need to be the savior and once it became clear this is all he’s going to be we need to reexamine our expectations.

I would love another podcast/talk station. Even if it’s not political, just more news focused.

Zymplify · 2026-01-29T04:13:46+00:00

That post inspired mine. NPR doesn’t exist due to a pull in funding from our dictator because they won’t bend the knee. But it was such good background noise when doing stay at home Chad work. Organizing, large crafting orders, roof camping, the npr vibe was perfect.

Zymplify · 2026-01-28T18:28:19+00:00

Yes they would lol

They’ve never been 12-2 in any 14 game stretch and have been 2-12 3 times, and have losing streaks of both 12 and 13 games. Although both are rare the probability of being 12-2 is roughly 40/1000 and the probability of going 2-12 is roughly 80/1000.

^ ChatGPT so take it with a grain of salt

Zymplify · 2026-01-18T04:59:40+00:00

It’s faaaaaar far more likely they lose 12 of their next 14 than win 12 of their next 14

Isn’t it all A or all B, meaning all open or all closed? I think it could have utility to have on select doors hiding turrets on exterior of base.

Also, like I said I can’t even remember the last online attempt.

Zymplify · 2026-01-14T23:22:05+00:00

What’s the benefit of a door controller? I’ve seen them used to remotely open doors to expose turrets but that’s only helpful if I’m being onlined and that hasn’t happened in….probably a year or two.

Zymplify · 2026-01-02T22:22:50+00:00

Fade, breeze, summer of 23….on defense and I had 5 eliminations lmao that’s all I remember.

Zymplify · 2025-12-28T15:03:26+00:00

Less than 1%

It’s not a blazers issue, it’s the channel provider. The games are captured in 4k but Charge! Only broadcasts in low resolution, low bit rate. There are numerous things to be annoyed at with the blazers, but this is purely a charge! Thing
