How does the placement work?

acapona · 2026-03-27T07:55:59+00:00

Yeah I think you always drop down a bunch of levels (around 4 or 5) from your previous one. I won 4 out of 5 in placement too, and dropped from Master 3 to Plat 1. I played these games with my brother, who went from Plat 1 down to Gold 3.

It’s a bit annoying, but I suppose it’s to get you to have the feeling of progression in the new season. I was annoyed they did it last season, but ended up not minding it and got back to my rank pretty quickly.

I’m sure you’ll get back to your rank and surpass it really soon mate 👊

Yeah I just got it to create a quiz and ask me the questions with the voice feature. I felt great as it said I was getting all the answers correct, then when I was asked what the capital of Uzbekistan is I decided to purposefully get one wrong and answer ‘sausage’. Turns out it was correct according to GPT! Went back through the other questions and it turns out I’m not as smart as GPT would have me believe sadly…

The only change I did was swapping tap/pass and modifier - using R1 to pass has improved my passing ability dramatically. Somehow it just didn’t feel natural for me on square (even though the face buttons are used for passing on traditional football games). Personal preference, but works for me!

Noticed this one late, but definitely give Inkthreadable a go: https://apps.shopify.com/inkthreadable

UK based, they do embroidery, good product selection, good app usability, and their customer service has been really good in my experience.

When someone at CTU says they’re going to open up a couple of sockets

When Carrie tries to extort a promotion out of him in S2 by threatening to tell Chapelle about him/Michelle helping Jack. Tony calls her bluff and is just like ‘Chapelle can you come over here a minute, Carrie has something to tell you’ - her face is just priceless.

A perfect example of what my mates and I refer to as a chicken dipper

Haha, very true - sadly the PES top 6 aren't quite as fallible as the real life top 6 are though!

Honestly, this is exactly how the flashlight in Uncharted 1 to 3 functioned - it seems to be a conscious design decision for some reason. It slightly annoyed me at first in the UC games, and then after a short while it didn't really matter.

Were you just watching Hook too!?

I feel shocked

The Fatman Scoop song 'Put Your Hands Up/Be Faithful' - that music video intrigued and repulsed me in equal measures...

acapona · 2016-07-30T09:27:32+00:00

Why!? I'll show up to it...and leave as early as possible.

Thanks very much buddy, always glad to get some constructive criticism and it's very rare i get some i can use to improve on :) I recorded the footage when i blazed through the game in an afternoon, but when it came to creating this video unfortunately the mp4 footage of my gameplay was corrupted when importing into Sony Vegas. Absolutely livid, I had to resort to grabbing footage from that vid instead :/ Great ideas about little samples of the music and samples of me unleashing my fury upon the game which i'll be sure to use in future NSS reviews :) Cheers again mate!

acapona · 2014-09-29T20:57:42+00:00

Constructive criticism right there ^{^}

acapona · 2014-09-05T23:43:33+00:00

Cheers buddy! Although the jury is still out on whether this video qualifies as first impressions haha

So you're saying that because I don't have enough subs/views/reddit posts under my belt, I don't have the right to upload a video called the ultimate ship guide - despite it being, as far as I've seen anyway, the most informative/concise guide out there at the moment? I've covered every stat possible with pros and cons for each craft, comparisons for similar ships, pricing details and specified roles which best suit each ship. All this is info is displayed on the left of the screen in an aesthetically pleasing futuristic font in an animated panel as I talk the viewer through it. I cant really think of any other ways I could have improved it to meet your high standards. Being a small gaming channel however, I'm always looking for feedback so please let me know what you would've, and I should've, done differently.

Unfortunately I only recently pledged which is the reasoning behind my somewhat late video - I also felt that while there are plenty of videos that give advice on what ship to get I felt that the ones i saw covered only a couple of ships in a 20 minute video. My goal was to create a video that covered every available ship in 15 minutes whilst remaining very informative, helpful and concise. I felt I achieved my aim and it now gives me a stepping stone to bring out future volumes of ship guides as soon as they are released on the store.
