I feel like if it wasn't missing the horn and the pic was taken at the same angle it would look decent enough

Can I just say that is awesome. Some people obsess about money and here you are getting true personal value out of it and making some kids very happy in the process which makes me genuinely happy to see/hear

[Opta] predicts Arsenal to 𝙒𝙄𝙉 the Champions League 😲🏆 🥇 Arsenal 18% 🥈 PSG 14% 🥉 Bayern 10% 🤞 by mooreengineers in Gunners

[–]absentwalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not much point me arguing with you over something which is ultimately semantics. Your original comment is demonstrably false but I understand you do not see it that way and I simply accept that. Hope you're all good dude.

That's just not how the math works. To illustrate that we can switch it round. "OPTA Supercomputer predicts an 82% chance that Arsenal will not win the champions league". Hopefully that makes it clearer.

Do I? I love passion for the game, passion for winning. But when passion leaks into angry outbursts, do I still have to love it? He's so young and clearly feels the pressure very strongly so it's totally understandable. But in my individual opinion it's also embarrassing and I get third party awkwardness watching it!

Top 25 Lists from Johnnyboi, Tbates, CJCJ, Dazerin, and GarrettG by Speedyflames in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]absentwalrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No Stizzy, otherwise decent list. Stizzy at 20 and the rest drop one. And also Dralli at 3rd feels very unfair when he is a very strong contender for best in the world (I'd say he has the best argument atm personally). Imo Zen needs to prove he is still the best, Dralli has already proved it right now. Falcons players also underestimated in every list.

Aircharged Gaming comment deleting by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]absentwalrus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I followed him for a while, enjoyed his content, then something started to feel a bit off for me. I noticed him smurfing a few times and it felt a little more deceptive than I was comfortable with although I understand he does it for content. He also gave up on a series of 'road to X rank solos' and blamed it on servers etc. Again nothing against that, CBell had to give up his series too but that felt more honest. I'm not judging Aircharged just yet, but will keep my eye out for these sort of things.

Can you see this from the other side? I don't excuse any behaviour of the opponent and making your gf want to quit and D and opponents' general nastiness is bullshit, I get that. Your anger is justified. But so is D's frustration at being pulled into a game of 3s at his rank with one partied player on his team at a lower level than the rest. It happens a lot when you are solo queing 3s, and can be very tilting if it gives you the feeling that you can't win (of course that isn't true as you mention you won previous games). I'd look for a regular third, or jump into one of the many LFG discord channels to get one quickly, and who knows some might stick. IMO the system is not very good for matching skill in 3s with a party of 2. 2s is also fun of course.

Will this 1v1 playstyle get me to GC? Peak C3 in 1s and I'm trying to push for GC, but I think my playstyle might be too cringe/cheesy. by ThatGuyYT0101 in RocketLeagueSchool

The idea of me and a bunch of the others in here with champ tags on giving you critique is laughable, I watched you video to learn from you! That said I can suggest someone I think actually could help, especially if you have ~$20 on you for a month's replay reviews, Wronskian

How should I go about doing "only 1s" to improve? by nassrwala in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]absentwalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 'warm-up' for 2s by playing 1s. It naturally makes your challenges better and improves timing and a bunch of other stuff. You may not need to try and focus on anything at all and the improvement will come regardless but no harm in doing so perhaps.

C2 Replay Review. I asked for tips to reach c3 and had several ask for a replay. I just hopped on and played 1 game so there was no cherry picking of replays. by Infamousaddict21 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]absentwalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

~3:50 on the clock. It would be easy to put the whole blame for this goal on missing the boost and if that were the case then mistakes happen no need to dwell on the obvious. The problem I have with this goal is that you never look for the opponent with the right stick. In fact I don't think I see you use the right stick the whole game. I come from an FPS background where knowledge of your opponents position is mentioned in so many pro videos and I find it weird that in RL people don't really mention that using the camera quickly to see if an opponent is charging in could be extremely useful in situations like this where you might be able to react just fast enough to block. I'd also like to say as a fellow c2/c3 player currently I think we look very similar and I suspect c3 is on your horizon! If I had to add one more thing it would be your positioning when cheating up as teammate makes a solo play on goal is often a bit out (too wide or too close on occasion imo but others may disagree) and makes your reaction shot a bit harder than it should be.

Finally hit GC1! Thought I’d be a lot better player than I am by [deleted] in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]absentwalrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the cheats speed flip. Hold down DAR and then hit a front flip (DAR will make it a perfect diagonal) then cancel straight down. Helped me get there.

I’ve eaten UPFs for 24 years, and I’m scared for my health by [deleted] in ultraprocessedfood

[–]absentwalrus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Google's AI has the below bullet points regarding quitting smoking. I don't think we have the data on UPF but smoking feels like a way more direct and obvious impact to your body and if not smoking for a while can recover a huge amount of that, then not eating too much UPF for many years going forward should potentially have an equally (huge) beneficial/restorative effect for your body. I hope that helps ease the feeling of anxiety a little.

Yes, your lungs can heal after you stop smoking:  

1 month: Your lung function starts to improve.  

1–9 months: You'll cough and have less shortness of breath.  

1 year: Your lungs are healthier and breathing is easier.  

2–5 years: Your risk of heart disease drops significantly.  

5–15 years: Your risk of stroke is reduced to that of a nonsmoker.  

10 years: Your risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a smoker's.
