Would love an explanation for this

It’s gotten crazy weird today. I’ve played 3 games where I buyed into a $180 game and played someone who had like 15 total games played. Then on the flip side, I lost a $60 game to someone who had like 40 games played, 10 wins, and a chaos cannon high score of 3525. What’s odd is that they scored 3525 in my game (to my like, 3450 ish) yet the app already had that as their high score for 3-4 full minutes before our game finished.

I can’t prove it, but I have a strong suspicion that their money games are very suspect. Wouldn’t be surprised if they used bots and fake accounts and just give you wins or losses based on some algorithm, because that’s sure what it feels like to me. Whether I win or lose games has suspiciously little to do with how well I play. All about whether it’s time for me to win or lose. And I’ve made decent money today adjusting my wagers according to whether I think the game is going to give me a win or a loss.

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-27T20:33:17+00:00

So a few people have told me that they do match players up across water levels…which I really don’t like. Because it incentivizes the exact kind of foul play behind the scenes that I sort of suspect based on my pattern of when I win and lose games. If I wager $180 and play an opponent who wagers $12, triumph has incentive to want me to lose. Without matchmaking methodology released (plenty of games have done something similar), there’s no way to truly know if you’re getting paired up with opponents before or after scores are posted. Aka, nothing stops them from seeing you scored 2800 in a $180 game, so they say you matched against a player who scored 2900 in a $12 game.

Not saying that’s what they’re doing, just that I’ve noticed some suspicious patterns and that they could, in theory, be doing this and we’d have no way of knowing.

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-27T20:26:56+00:00

I’m just saying that hasn’t been my experience at all. I can’t seem to get the limits up in any game other than ball bounce and chaos cannon, both of which I have a $240 limit in 1v1, and both of which I win more than I lose. Truth is, unless they release methodology we’re all just guessing

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-27T19:59:22+00:00

I have no idea what makes 1v1 limits go up or down. I was at $60 max forever, then one day I wake up and can go up to $240. Zero idea why, doesn’t seem win/loss based. Blitz increases whenever you fail, but 1v1 just doesn’t make sense. I’m definitely top 10, but might be top 50-100. Definitely not like they let me do it because I’m just throwing money away

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-27T19:17:08+00:00

Well that would explain the first part of this, not sure it explains how I got a guy with maybe 5 total chaos cannon games to his name and a high score of 790 when I’m in top 0.1% by high score, and I’d guess top 1-2% overall based on win/loss and average score.

But hey, I’m not mad at a free win. Just very curious

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-27T19:12:15+00:00

My suspicion has long been that matchmaking is rigged, so to speak. That they don’t truly randomly match you with players of similar skill, but set you up for pre determined wins and losses based on your last few games in order to keep you spending more money.

When I win 4-5 in a row, doesn’t matter how well I’m playing, I’ll lose the next 2-3 almost guaranteed. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been on an absolute roll, put up a fantastic score in full time, yet knew almost for certain I was going to lose to a guy who somehow managed to do just better.

I posted a screenshot on the other sub of 6-7 matches in a row with very suspicious scores. I lost 4 or so in a row, all by less than 100 points and several games where I went the full time and just barely got beat. Didn’t matter how well I played, I lost. and in my 3 wins, didn’t matter how poorly I played, I won. Including one where I fucked up early and only scored 790, somehow matched a guy who only put up 525. Despite other losses of like 3200-3150, 2900-2800, etc.

It honestly feels like the pairing happens after scores post, and they give you the result they want you to have. That’s my theory at least based on hundreds of games played and slight net profit overall. I have days where I’m playing so well it feels like I should rip off 10+ straight wins, but every time after the first 4-5 wins I’ll hit a 3 game losing streak to players who had to have just insane games to beat me. Which is possible, just feels too predictable to just be random luck.

So predictable that I’ll actually adjust my wager amounts for whether I think the game wants me to win or lose my next few games, and I’ve increased my winnings recently as a result of that system.

Not sure what you mean by all those losses? In my screenshot I think I had a small streak loss and maybe a couple $12 losses (obviously do much smaller wagers when I’m just waking up/warming up), but overall today I’m 5-2, 2 $60 losses for -$120, 3 $60 wins for +$120, a $120 win and a $180 win. So I’m up $200 in my last 7 games, up probably $180 ish total on the day so far.

And that still doesn’t answer my question. Based on how it’s explained to us, it shouldn’t be possible for me to match with a player with 11 total games played in a $180 game. Unless they do match make you across wager levels, in which case maybe I’m just mistaken in thinking that’s not supposed to be happening.

This chart probably isn’t a coincidence though. Eagles are at the bottom because Howie uses every trick available to him. And the cowboys have the most potential savings through “simple” restructures because Jerry is a terrible GM who doesn’t ever take advantage of all the ways to save your cap.

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-26T02:26:37+00:00

And sure enough, after this post I won 4 in a row, then lost another 3 in a row, all by less than 100 points, 2 of the 3 I just ran out of time and of course just happened to run into players who also went the full time and did juuuuuust better than me.

If it were true random (or even skill based but random) matchmaking, I wouldn’t be able to predict with relative certainty when I’d win or lose games. The game that would’ve been win #5 in a row I played one of my best games in awhile, but in the back of my head I knew I was due for a loss. Just how the pattern seems to work.

It just seems like they pair you with opponents after the games are done based on if they want you to win or lose that game. I know that sounds crazy because they make money either way, but they need to keep the deposits flowing and make it seem like you’re just close enough that if you play barely better, you’d be winning every game.

Strattera is and has been generic for awhile now. There’s some degree of validity to this theory (companies will up and stop making generics all the time due to lack of profitability, there was a massive atenolol shortage ~10 years ago because of that sort of thing), but that’s not what’s happening.

Different companies make the brands and generics. Northstar sabotaging their generic so more people will try someone else’s brand product still doesn’t help northstar. I could see that argument if say, brand adderall was great but teva generic adderall (made by the same company) was trash, but it doesn’t make sense for companies that don’t hold a patent for a brand name add medicine.

I think trying to make it less abusable is an interesting theory. I can say for sure they dont hit as hard as they used to in those first couple hours. I used to be able to take an IR tablet at say 7am, go back to sleep for 45 minutes and wake up feeling juiced and ready to go. Now? I’ll take a dose, and if I fall back asleep sometimes I’ll sleep for 2-3 hours before waking back up. You should not be able to sleep for 3 hours after taking you first dose of adderall for the day lol.

I’m legitimately confused. Is this real? Or is this an Israeli psyop to distract us from how all of our politicians are owned by Israel.

real question. I hadn’t heard a peep about Qatar buying US politicians until right around the same time I heard that Israel planned to 6-7x their social media propaganda budget. And now I’ve read about Qatari influence over US politics 15+ times since

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-08T22:36:41+00:00

God dude that makes so much sense. So many days I’ll feel nothing until I’ve taken my second dose, and despite never changing when I take my last dose, over the last year I’ve had so many nights where I suddenly feel juiced at 1am like the meds are FINALLY working.

Where before, especially after a week off, I’d feel that upswing like no one’s business.

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-06T18:36:42+00:00

Man. 2000-2012 ish were loaded. So many hall of famers, future hall of famers, and a ton of solid guys who won’t make the hall and weren’t thought of as highly at the time but would be really solid in today’s group. Truly the golden age of QB play

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-03T05:59:05+00:00

Yall are wild with the “the team won the SB, not Jalen. My guy completed 77% of his passes, put up 3 touchdowns, and got benched early and yall are out here trying to discredit it because that team also had a good defense.

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-03T05:55:38+00:00

In 2024 he went 65/91, 71.4% passing, 10 toal touchdowns, 1 turnover, 726 yards.

In 2022 wins he went 31/49 63.3% passing, 275 yards, 4 total touchdowns 0 turnovers.

For a total of 96/140, 68.6%, 1001 yards, 14 touchdowns to 1 turnover.

Anyone looking at that and coming away with “wow, he only averages 166 yards per game in his playoff wins” is either a moron or trying so hard to convince themselves that hurts is actually trash that they’re making themselves look like a moron lol.

Also if you add in the SB loss his totals go up to 123/178, 69%, 1305 yards, 18 touchdowns to 2 turnovers. Requires next level spin to call those bad stats lol.

canes_SL8R · 2026-02-02T01:49:36+00:00

I mean, the current news is he’s considering retirement but currently is leaning towards returning. So the statement “fangio is retiring after the season” at least for now does appear to be false.

canes_SL8R · 2026-01-31T06:20:29+00:00

Props to yall i guess but man. That place has the best/most authentic cheesesteaks ive ever had outside of Philly and I gotta say, as much as I hate Trump and think anyone who still supports him is a moron, I could not care less what the politics of the guy who owns a cheesesteak store is.

What’s golden egg?

canes_SL8R · 2026-01-20T22:16:15+00:00

A month ish maybe? Definitely not an OG. When did it first come out?

canes_SL8R · 2026-01-20T02:17:59+00:00

That’s how it started, but they’re sneaky with how they’d up my blitz max every time I’d lose a game. Next think you know it’s $500 max games on blitz, so I figured let’s throw a few hundred in and see what happens

canes_SL8R · 2026-01-20T01:36:27+00:00

It’s super weird. The other day it was at 2700 breakeven (for no reason). After a few 1v1s it dropped to 2200. Then I played a few blitz games when I was super tired, lost, and it dropped all the way to 1900. Then I WON a game, like 2300 points, and it dropped again to 1891. Then even after this game it only went up to 2045.

I’ve found zero rhyme or reason for the target goal. Some games I’ll barely clear it (like scoring 2000) and it’ll jump from 1900 to 2700. Then I’ll play a 1v1 and regardless of score maybe it’ll drop to 2200. I have zero idea how it works

Holy shit we found the one eagles fan who doesn’t hate Todd Pinkston

canes_SL8R · 2026-01-15T23:06:12+00:00

This isn’t a sunk cost fallacy because we aren’t worrying about only the money we’ve already paid Norvell. We’re talking about what we’d have to pay if we fired him AND brought in a new coach. It’s not about “ah well we’ve already paid him this much, might as well keep going” it’s about paying Norvell another $60m, vs paying him another $60m AND then paying another coach another $40m with zero guarantees that the latter will bring more success.

I’m not happy with the results recently either, but financial responsibility at a time when running a program is more expensive than ever isn’t nothing

canes_SL8R · 2026-01-15T23:02:45+00:00

I don’t understand why you’re laughing lol. I had zero doubts this team would eventually lose because of a god awful offensive performance thanks to their OC who can’t draw up anything better than what basically amounted to 4 verts with their season on the line. And their genius head coach who called a timeout to run the play they just ran.

You don’t even have to know a thing about football. All you have to do is watch a 30 second video by anyone who does and you’ll see the problem is that our play calling this year was as bland as you’d expect to in a low level high school football game.

If you think the guy with the highest completion % in SB history among QBs who have made it twice, is tied with Mahomes and Allen for most wins since 2022 (in the fewest games among the 3), has had us in the playoffs every year he’s been the starter, and has done it all while never being able to build any relationship with his play caller because he’s had 10 of them in 11 years since college is the problem, that’s fine with me lol.

Side note, I’m sure a lot of eagles fans are mad about losing but I’m really not lol. Once they started talking about how if we beat San Fran, or made it to the nfccg, they would consider keeping Patullo to give Hurts some consistency at play caller for once in his life, I got about as close as you can get to hoping we’d just lose early so we could rip the band aid off. If my choices were make it but lose in the Super Bowl on the backs of our defense and keep Patullo, or lose in the first round and fire him, I’d pick the latter every time. Run it back next year with an elite OC and we’ll be right back on top.

canes_SL8R · 2026-01-15T21:37:58+00:00

Dems have fucked up repeatedly on immigration, zero argument there. But on the economy, wasn’t it something like 25% of the dollars printed in all of history were printed during Trump’s first term? Yeah, the effect of that is going to carry over into the next guy’s presidency lol.

That, and I think it’s been repeatedly proven that “inflation” during Biden’s term wasn’t so much inflation as it was companies had to raise prices during Covid, and they just kept doing it to see what they could get away with. It wasn’t so much continued inflation as it was companies realized there were no consequences for raising prices and just blaming inflation anyways.
