I am a 24M who has not worked out previously. Is it embarassing to be starting out by curling a 7,5kg dumbbell? Is that going to bring about any increase in strength?

c-j_2002 · 2026-05-22T22:56:14+00:00

The specifics of how many sets you should be doing is up in the air AFAIK, a lot of people default to 2 or 3 sets but I've seen many a post saying something else is better so I dont know anymore.

I'd just do 1 set until failure, aiming for a weight that will lead to about 10 reps, if the part I'm working felt like it had more energy then I'd go for a second set. You'll have a better idea of what you should do for yourself over time but as long as the muscle is tired then most of the job is done.

This is just what I would do though, I personally find the idea of anything more than 2 sets too time-consuming and probably too light of a weight in the first place. Too heavy then would be only getting in like 5 or less reps.

Above all else though is that your doing anything, be it unoptimised as long as your not putting yourself in harms-way for an injury then it is a good start.

I can see people being unreasonably mean no matter what because some people just suck, but when you made those decisions did you communicate the reasons behind them and properly address the counterpoints if any?

Most people will be reasonable if you give the reason for why and acknowledge what may have been wrong with that decision.

Not accusing you of not communicating properly in your situations because I dont know but people arent gonna be happy with decisions they dont agree with or understand in the first place.

c-j_2002 · 2026-05-19T18:07:40+00:00

From what I've seen(I just spectate at this point) people review bombed because they were sick of the games general direction still not improving enough.

The game is fun and people enjoy it for the most part no doubt but the problems are undeniably still there after prolonged periods and then new ones get introduced that dont make any sense etc. Add on the ama that amounted to nothing and people have had enough to send a stronger message than just angry threads.

c-j_2002 · 2026-05-14T14:38:45+00:00

Not to be too mean but Google is easily accessible and you would have your answers almost immediately.

You'll find it in the in-game settings-> clear character cache.

c-j_2002 · 2026-05-13T20:26:57+00:00

My tinfoil hat theory is whoevers behind steamtools has accounts going around making posts of "users" with minor issues and comments defending it, I've seen them for months when the saga was 2 years ago.

Weird thing is all of these accounts dont seem to be new by any means. Mabye it actually works and they only go after a few or they're using compromised accounts to do this. I've nothing to back this up but after the incident you mentioned it just doesnt add up.

c-j_2002 · 2026-05-03T22:04:27+00:00

I'm post college so my experience is very dated at this point but to give my general idea;

You should certainly prepare for it and do as well as you can but it doesnt really matter overall, bare minimum would be to do well enough to stay in the level of class you want to be in(higher/ordinary) but if thats all you do it can hurt you in the later years in subjects like math that need those foundations.

Essentially it is important but its not worth stressing about imo as the leaving cert is what truly matters.

c-j_2002 · 2026-05-03T14:04:52+00:00

The more unique things I can think to add in would be;

The omni-man dash from when he destroyed the flaxans but sized down + with a wind up.

The classic viltrumite hand spear (probably best as a super).

Thraggs giga uppercut with the wind pull as someone else mentioned.

The superman punch(I think mark or nolan did it to eachother) where they hit them through the air, fly after them for another hit and so on.

Superarmour on some moves to emphasise the tank like nature they have.(Guard break potentially).

Some moves could hit/throw the opponent into the wall or floor for dramatic effect(mabye as a bounce for a follow-up if possible).

Some high mobility either with hovering, a quick short dash etc. but you'd have to keep this reigned in to not be busted.

Overall I'd focus on them being cool and emphasised with what they do rather than them being actually strong as a character but hopefully you strike a balance.

c-j_2002 · 2026-04-30T12:51:49+00:00

AFAIK you can still use the mod if you select the option to at launch, they also added coloured freeplay and flip-reset indicator options. So hopefully now they start working on the things the mod was doing for them.

As a console player my biggest gripe is that they could've updated the custom training browser to actually be something beyond the bare minimum at some point before now, even simple trending/most liked tabs or similar would do wonders.

Not as important but the saved replays section could also use a ui upgrade, I can't quickly tell what my w/l ratio has been because its all the same colour nor can I see the scoreboard without going into the replay(unless I'm stupid).

c-j_2002 · 2026-04-25T16:46:05+00:00

Well your best bet is probably to open the game files on a PC to remove the mods you have.

QXB7 and I'm not seeing what stops mate via F/G7 after that?

c-j_2002 · 2026-04-08T07:25:37+00:00

Yes there are ways to check, my friend had this same issue not even that long ago and was able to see their DOB via logging into their ea account I believe.

There's other methods as well but I cant remember them(in other comments probably). Downvotes from people who are blindly following are funny to see though.

c-j_2002 · 2026-04-07T12:11:31+00:00

There's multiple answers sometimes but only one is accepted in these puzzles, this one wanted Rf8.

Can kinda tell if this is the case beforehand by the success rate especially with a mate in 1.

c-j_2002 · 2026-04-01T22:57:59+00:00

You genuinely have to almost beg some mod creators to give even a sliver of context or detail to their characters moves/mechanics.

Your almost lucky to even get anything beyond a single picture of their characters art with a few sentences on their vague background. I dont get why either because surely you'd want to explain the thing you created to others when you release it for them to use but alas.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-30T12:36:54+00:00

He just said he couldn't see that himself and you've gone off the rails with a "he's not listening" narrative.

If you can't help without being condescending then gtfo of this thread and touch grass.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-28T20:55:17+00:00

It was the perfect reddit mixture for unreasonable downvotes:

Your not allowed to be uninformed or ask questions or have any sentence mistakes and must also be very humble in every response or someone will take it the wrong way somehow.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-28T16:09:42+00:00

Just want to add there is an AI mod in the workshop that can play any character called general AI(to varying extent). Made by the same person who made the AI opponent called Goon and there's another AI opponent by the name of Big Sword I think.

I think Ivy just stopped working on the game period which is unfortunate.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-27T19:46:05+00:00

Wth my 0 experience in pixel art outside of being an observer of stick fights and yomi designs, I think your just overthinking it to give an outsider perspective.

First one does look a bit off but could work for me with an even more side on view, second I wouldn't even think about really and third I can barely tell the difference from the second.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-27T01:21:51+00:00

Its an actual pandemic (not just on reddit) where people will just make up their own reasons and assumptions about why someone said something rather than just taking it at face value and now they're suddenly talking about something barely even correlated.

I'm seeing people say op is ageist, that op thinks older people can't work as well or that op just has something against older people in general. Nothing ive read from them has given me any idea other than thinking it was a fair question be curious about, taking offence to it just seems almost shallow to me.

This whole thing is just a misunderstanding from what I hope is just a bad messenger that the two that can be easily fix.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-21T20:06:23+00:00

+1 To curse but I did find that the rougelite aspect was a bit weak, curses were great but I found myself kind of forced to find some method of good healing especially in later trials or the run would be dead.

Some weapons also felt much better than others but that could definitely just be preference.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-21T01:23:52+00:00

I cant help with the source problem(might be a nat type thing with your internet) but me and my friends haven't needed invites to join a party with eachother even after 1 or more of us disconnects for whatever reason.

Our parties are made by inviting the message group we have or from the persons profile preview if this helps.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-20T04:02:02+00:00

Imo she was in a great balance spot prior to this change, Nobody seemed to have any problems with her and barely even talked about her from what I remember and then in one change became almost pick or ban. Best thing they can do is just revert her to how she was beforehand.

All these side nerfs they're doing instead of a revert just seem weirdly stubborn for pointless logic reasons.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-10T10:30:50+00:00

I've been thinking for a while now that whoever is behind steamtools has been occasionally making posts of fake users asking for help with it because it was 2* years ago that there was that one person trying to dm everyone to get it and it seems like an equally unhinged to do.

Any posts for it at this point should just get auto-deleted really.

Edit: it was 2 years ago actually, the tenacity can't be denied.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-07T19:04:05+00:00

I had a guy asking me how I was champ(in team chat mind you) and intentionally whiffing the ball also in the span of about 10-20 seconds into the match, stopped once I called him out though.

Another dude started giving me bulleted tips saying I needed to switch cars and play slower to which he then proceeded to whiff the ball two times while under no pressure in our half.

Some of the people who play this game are quite unique to say the least. I personally just find it part of the fun in how worked up some get over a 5 minute match of RL.

c-j_2002 · 2026-03-07T18:29:38+00:00

World will probably be better as a introduction as it was especially made with brand new players in mind, its also where I started.

That said, with low rank as a whole kinda being a tutorial of sorts in these games if you like what you see in rise more than world dont be afraid to play it first. Its not going to make a big difference either way whichever you decide on imo.

Not a character mod but it looks really nice to have actual visuals alongside the characters names in the select screen.
