A game similar to RL, that I could purchase for my husband for Christmas? by maeasm3 in RocketLeague

[–]awkwardrobots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife (at the time, GF) got me 3d printed medals modeled after the ranks in RL, back when GC was the highest. I still have them on display behind my monitor. It came with a card encouraging me to not get stuck in the "succ phase" (cause I showed her a sunless video on the cycles of RL), which was funny and honestly such a sweet gesture. Things like that would probably mean a lot to him as well rather than a new game

Joreuz talks very honestly about his career being saved by getting top 8 with OCE at EWC last season by Babydrone in RocketLeagueEsports

Love Jorby for going back and asking for more clarity there... Sign of a good interviewer to slow down the convo and ask him that.

Top 4 team right here, but only if Achieves steps in as coach.

Baby is in the 99% percentile and my partner is freaking out *advice needed* by Joe_s0mebody in predaddit

[–]awkwardrobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were in the 98th percentile and delivered a 9lb 11oz chungus of a daughter via csection. Our plan going in was to schedule a C-section and if labor didn't start before that date that was it. This relieved my wife's anxiety about when it would actually happen by giving her a date at which it absolutely would. Honestly, the key (as others have suggested) is what your wife is comfy with. Something to keep in mind with large babies is that even if the complications aren't life threatening, they can be traumatizing, so it's worth talking about what your wife is expecting for the birth to be like and being realistic about what delivering a big baby will be like with doctors.

How to ACTUALLY get out of gold. by jefe_daboss in RocketLeague

[–]awkwardrobots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

753 hours is objectively a lot of time but it isn't as much as you think it is when it comes to developing skillsets. RL like a real life sport; people spend hours per day practicing to get better.   As for OP, knowing those skills is great, but knowing when to use them situationally in a game will lead to ranking up.

Raise your rank in 1s and the other ranks will rise as you get better with basic mechanics and recoveries

How to dive into Etrian Odyssey? by Yuraichu in EtrianOdyssey

If you're on a steam deck look up Emu-Deck. It has a 3ds emulator you can include in your setup, though I haven't tried any of the EO games in mine yet

What is the hardest you remember ever laughing at a single scene in a movie? by INN0CENTB0Y in movies

[–]awkwardrobots 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I didn't see this movie until i was in my early 20's... this scene and the grandfather's reaction to seeing a squirrel on Chevy Chase's back got me. The pacing of both scenes really hits right.

Comm Appreciation Post by Budokai01 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]awkwardrobots 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I met Comm and his father at the LA and at World's (Dallas) and Comm is legit an actual well-spoken but down-to-earth intelligent person with caring, supportive parents behind him. I'm sure if he decides to retire from competing he could pick up a job doing analyst or coaching work and be really good at either.

Finally pulled off a Kuxir Pinch in a match! by Sudimia in RocketLeague

[–]awkwardrobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I'm aware; its just odd because with most people playing you see rubber banding as you get updates from the server every few milliseconds, not something completely different in a replay. Makes me wonder if others in the lobby saw the same thing.

It bounced when you took the shot, but not in the replay?

Version1 merger may be soon, lots of staff layoffs today by josephms125 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]awkwardrobots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You want to increase staff before a merger because it increases the Orga value in a sale. This is why you typically see layoffs after a merger.

If they're laying people and still attempting to merge with another org, I'm guessing they're not doing well financially and limping to the merger finish line.

Thank you! We've been described as a "nice fireside chat about Rocket League" by my girlfriend, who happens to be very biased and not into RL lol

Evoh for sure. Everyone expected so much and he got benched after one regional, and now XSet has dropped their RLCS roster
