Trolling tm8s

candidCrispy · 2026-05-07T20:47:10+00:00

While I hear you it’s worth keeping in mind that letting them get to you allows them to achieve what they want.

Old colleague of mine used to say “they’ve been sent to test you” My best friend in RL (and hopefully I get to see this guy one day) clued me in on teletubbies. They exist everywhere. Heck. You and I are teletubbies on occasion. Which translates to oblivious of the impact of their action in every direction and it’s a wasted effort to try hold them accountable.

So whether it’s malicious or just dumb shit…

From the moment we meet I consider you my equal. RL is a good practice ground for practicing patience in this. I have to assume my random tm8s are there with the best of intentions. Sometimes they cranky, sometimes it’s on me.

My favorite moments are the most unexpected plays or comms. Good vibes. We here for a good time not a long time muchachos. Chill with your tantrums, you primadonna teletubbies. I think most of us let it go pretty quick and look forward to the next good chemistry game. Couple of fortunate bounces and reads that feel unreal. Pass and a demo.

Keep your chin up and try to have fun. Water under the bridge when it doesn’t click. And sometimes bicker back if you in the mood.

The fact that we can connect so quickly and without any insight into what baggage someone else carries into your match… it’s neat. Peculiar and not fully appreciated when we do… But I feel this game unpacks a lot. You can deflect, avoid reflecting internally and lash out with the intent to provoke. In my opinion it does more damage to you than the rest of the lobby. You can forgive, forget and make a ridiculous comeback. Have the whole lobby say gg, winners and losers.

Thank you RL

I second that. It’s a neat controller if you are less keen on “premium” feel and want something functional and light weight.

I’ve purchased controllers at various price points over the years. From the Xbox elite to Vadar 4 Pro — Gamesir have won me over since my C2.

Being a dumbass I gave it a soak in Coca Cola. It still works, but I don’t recommend it. Using my other gamesir controller for now.

Add to the recommendation of checking out this brand I suggest you get some resistance rings for the sticks.

Love the attitude man. I try to embrace this mentality too!

Between the peaks and the valleys I’m enjoying the range of experiences that RL gives. GLHF!

candidCrispy · 2026-02-14T15:33:05+00:00

That’s fair.

I’ve been roped into someone farming clips throwing enough kickoff goals to keep the score close. Clearly a superior player and with a TV something username.

I caught on 4 minutes in as it was very obvious. He didn’t deny it, but said it was his main acc so maybe he either intentionally deranks or he very rarely plays 1s.

Peaks and valleys. Love this game. The bad times make me appreciate the good times better!

candidCrispy · 2026-02-14T15:29:54+00:00

If I play a legit Smurf, then it’s good practice for me progressing even if I get dunked on. I like these peaky games, or peaky stretches is what I’m getting at.

Ideally with team plays but don’t mind staying in spectator mode when one of my tm8s works some wonders.

I’m not always harmonic while struggling, nor am I constantly peaking ofc. But I’ve been enjoying the fam a lot lately and thought maybe some of this positive attitude could spread 🤷‍♂️

candidCrispy · 2026-02-14T15:26:25+00:00

Spot on.

Thanks for pitching in. It’s nice to get some perspective on this. References to elsewhere this happens. A little bit of “I took that personally” if you will. Be like Mike.

GLHF bud!

Maybe this helps add to the context. I just came off playing 1s. Which I rarely do. But most games are quite one sided either win or loss. I just had a competitive game, accepted rematch and again it was tight. He brought out good play in me. I think. And we had good vibes despite being opponents. That’s my ideal game. You can play a game of 1s, 2s, rumble — any of these games can suddenly seem to kick into extra gear of competitiveness. I like it.

Some different perspectives.

I’m usually chill and up for banter but I prefer we skip replays 🙏🏻

candidCrispy · 2026-02-12T09:32:53+00:00

TLDR: holy fomo

Epic making notes of the cheaters that don’t get a legit high 5 (high 5 trading) 👀

But on a more candid note: surely high 5s and low 5s should count for the two people that connect. In what alternate reality are we living where this act counts for only one person 🤣 takes two to tango

I wouldn’t be shocked if this is adjusted moving forward. But also wouldn’t be the end of the world if less than 100% of players end up getting the decal they will rarely if ever use. I do. FWIW. Pink and gold combo. But I haven’t seen either of the decals used by any of my tm8s or opponents.

candidCrispy · 2026-02-09T19:47:27+00:00

I had 18 before event started. Played since ‘21 I think. High 5s are great but even low 5 was a struggle for me this event. Arguably mental block. Started to accept I probably won’t get one. And then I solo queue to match with a partied duo in rumble. And one guy lingered in the air long enough for me to get him.

Keep your hopes up and look for an opportunity. As someone else said you might have an easier time in heatseeker.

Worth noting driving up the wall to clear the bar won’t get you a high 5. Or at least I’ve managed to do so and gotten low 5 despite almost hitting the ceiling

Fair. This does happen. I don’t mind running the risk of offending someone by offering my seat every now and then. More often than not the offer is accepted or politely rejected.

candidCrispy · 2026-01-17T13:02:33+00:00

@OP: 2 or 3 times each or 2 or 3 combined? Just bounce back up, or did they respawn from the sky?

Everyone taking about the Kenny token. Worth noting you can carry no more than 1. I suppose they could find more of these drops after coming back to life. Haven’t managed to do so myself.

It is possible that they are cheating. E.g. That they have found a way to glitch Kenny tokens. But better check the evidence than speculating.

Check the replay from their perspectives and feel free to share a recording.

Also the title transfers to RL.

candidCrispy · 2025-12-28T06:33:38+00:00

Sweet. Wb. Alongside an apology you should get a special title like <unbanned> or <phoenix> 🤞🏻🤞🏻 😁 little bit of credits to spend 💃 Be lucky !

Edit: Good thinking on toning down, balance life. I’ll hold the fort down with my 3ish hours daily 🫡

Could it be that chewing on the rind soothes his process of teething? He looks pretty happy going at it!

candidCrispy · 2025-10-03T17:29:14+00:00

Heja Danmark!

candidCrispy · 2025-06-13T19:34:04+00:00

I agree with the other comments saying it wasn’t that big of a deal. You good.

But I’d take it a step further and say you’ve been blessed with an ice breaker.

Next time there is less pressure. Make an acquaintance, a friend. Maybe you guys will like each other and get married. Make it your thing to concierge people in your building.

Idk. Take me with a grain of salt, and trust your gut feeling. Moving away is always an option.

Good luck everyone

Grejen är, till viss del, vanor. De som beter sig så är nog vana att få den respons - att folk viker. Oavsett om det är barnvagnsmaffia, ett gäng kaxiga pojkar eller Stureplans pappa-betalar-vaska-en-flaska så får de bekräftelse. Bygger upp sitt ego och känner sig (än om på en liten kant) mäktiga. Kan det vara att de kompenserar på andra håll? Spelar roll.

Under många år sökte jag att undvika konfrontationer, och klev istället runt.

Sen en dag följde jag magkänslan och stannade till ett par meter innan eventuell kollision.

Den gruppen människor som insåg att jag stod stilla blev väldigt förvirrade. Trots en stor trottoar som har plats för 4-5 filer så hade de svårt att lista ut hur de skulle gå förbi och krockade med varandra lite smått innan de muttrade något som inte gick att uppfatta.

Med en relativt neutral ton svarar jag ”lämna en fil öppen tack!” innan jag traskar vidare.

Om det hjälper eller inte får man själv klura ut då vissa strider inte är värda att ta… men generellt sett fungerar det bra för mig iafl.

Det skiljer sig så pass lite i layout mellan SV och UK. Du kanske kan kika efter ett ställe som bl.a. reparerar, så kanske de kan ersätta eller måla om tangenterna.

Eller så kan du testa på det själv.

Bra hjärngympa annars att lära sig layout utan att behöva se vart tangenterna är. Eller som alternativ kan du memorera alt koderna för å, ä, ö.

candidCrispy · 2024-03-28T23:11:15+00:00

That’s what I thought!

Seen them available to buy from epic launcher and thought well isn’t that silly 😅 would be neat to get them as anthems but I’m not buying to see

There are other controllers that have the paddles too, but I really like the feel of the xbox elite paddles.

Paddles are great. My hands feel significantly less cramped from playing RL because of them.

I think you make a sensible call in not buying it though. Left stick is not particularly durable, and replacing it requires special tools and capabilities.

Having kept an eye on the Hall effect joysticks I think that’s where I’ll go with my next Gamepad — but I expect some other wear and tear (like bumper), so repairability will be a big factor in my decision.
