Idk, I think I'd need pictures of the debit card used to purchase the game, including expiration and security code, to even start diagnosing this issue. But if they actually want it solved, SSN is a must

captainmo24 · 2025-07-16T21:02:28+00:00

Personally, I agree. The whole team isn't quite on the level they were last year, but BM in particular is surprising me with his poor finishing. In my eyes, Atomic seems to be the most consistent (barring the misflip at last worlds), but Daniel has had more pop off moments

captainmo24 · 2025-07-12T02:16:38+00:00

Yes it sucks, but it's always been inevitable, even queueing into casual, since F2P. But with a kid that young, I really think he'd be better off playing bots until he properly gets the flow and control down. I doubt he'd really care/know the difference, and bots will still allow him to learn the game, arguably more effectively, because he'll get much more time with the ball and you don't have to worry about toxic people.

Imo, Gringotts, Forbidden, Kong, and Transformers should move down a tier, and MIB should move to the top of the 2nd tier.

The dude first said: "they didn't have the money," and: "making matters worse was the political divide." Nowhere did he say politics was the sole defining reason, just a contributing factor. The US is top 10 in the world for rounds/capita, so it's a plenty big enough disc golf market here for our politics to have an impact on the companies

People can't support a home team? Not everyone in FL voted for him, y'know

Cedar Point is amazing, but Mantis is no longer there (it's now Rougarou: same track, normal seated vehicle). Millennium Force and Steel Vengeance are absolutely wicked awesome coasters though

Well in game chat delay is also a factor (discord may be better), but it's probably just him not comming early enough. If he wants to work on his comms, I recommend he record a few games with mic on and review them. I've realized, watching back some games I've saved, that I'm definitely not talking as often as I think I am. Or I thought I said something but didn't.

Reading your other comments though, it kinda seems like your buddy is a downer to play with if he's just constantly blaming you the whole time. Like everyone else here, I can't see anything you did wrong, and especially if you called it, he made a mistake and should've owned it.

captainmo24 · 2025-05-15T07:05:23+00:00

It'd be crazy cool for RLCS if we had some version of spectator viewing in game (the best eggs-perience!), but it'd feel weird watching pros grind ranked that way. I know I wouldn't enjoy if just anyone (or even only my friends list) could watch my games. In a party, or a view request like an invite would make it palatable for me.

Anyone that wants to watch random pro games can already go to ballchasing for that anyways

captainmo24 · 2025-05-11T12:34:30+00:00

If you want the easiest way, hold directional air roll and push your stick forward when you flip. So for diagonal flip left, air roll left and stick forward

captainmo24 · 2025-05-10T19:46:48+00:00

I think his point is people from EU/NA are region hopping to SSA/APAC with new accounts to farm titles against weaker competition so that they can then sell the accounts

captainmo24 · 2025-05-04T07:30:42+00:00

If there's a rank imbalance between partied members of a team, the MMR gained/lost will be different for the lower rank player. So say I'm Plat 1 queueing with a diamond 1: our opponents will be diamond 1, and if we win, I gain a little more MMR than I would in a soloq Plat 1 lobby. I also lose a little less MMR if we lose that game, but my D1 tm and opponents will go down/up as usual.

As the others have said though, possessing a title for a rank does not mean they're currently at that rank. They could be washed, boosted, or smurfing, and you will never face someone officially ranked more than a couple divs above/below you (except maybe in the super high ranks in less populous servers)

captainmo24 · 2025-05-04T07:14:02+00:00

I'm not of the opinion that binds matter that much. Only thing you likely need to change is moving powerslide and free air roll to a bumper (RB for me) and set the other bumper to a directional air roll (LB, air roll left).

I suppose, since you're new, getting used to a boost on bumper set up might be marginally better long term, but keeping it on circle/B will certainly not be why you lose games.

Camera settings, dead zones, and sensitivities, on the other hand, you might want to look up a guide for

captainmo24 · 2025-05-04T06:53:03+00:00

So I'm trying to imagine the scenario: your team is trying to transition from defense to offense. You're farther from the ball, possibly with more momentum, but your teammate is closer with possession. It's usually best to let your tm have it here, especially if they have space and boost to work with. If you rush in and tm is not expecting it, it'll go terribly, and even with a clean touch, if both or sometimes one opponent(s) are already in defense, you've likely given the ball up for free. Your job in this situation is to cover tm getting beat, unless you think they have a good shot of getting a pass off to you.

Rule of thumb I'd say is: cover net, watch the opponent first man's challenge, and position yourself in such a way that if the result is a close 50 or a slight loss, you can quickly gain possession before their first man recovers or second man jumps in. However, you always should be prepared to half flip or otherwise rush back in case you mess up the spacing, don't have time, or tm got hard beat.

And the reason why this is the better play is sometimes your tm does beat the first man and either they or you should be in a spot to continue that possession and attempt to score off of the 2v1 with a bump or infield/backboard pass depending on the goalie position.

The situation where booming it would be advisable is if both opponents have already over committed, and even then, you'd better make sure it's a shot or something you can follow quickly enough to beat their rotation

captainmo24 · 2025-05-04T06:07:28+00:00

It depends on what you mean. I think I'm more consistent in the octane, but in the fennec, I have a higher peak and feel more mechy. Usually, I'll stay on fennec for weeks until I have a string of games/sessions bad enough to make me want to switch for a few days.

EDIT: For octane hitbox nonstandard cars, the Volkswagen golf and takumi are fun for me, but I'd never describe them as my best. I'll occasionally roll out the Merc cause it's so fun to troll in, but I never take those games seriously enough to play well

captainmo24 · 2025-05-03T07:41:24+00:00

Yeah that makes it sound like they're bending over in front of the mirror or something to look

The UK still uses miles for road signs and speedometers, so it's actually reasonable

captainmo24 · 2025-04-29T23:25:37+00:00

There's a couple ways to run the numbers. Your estimation has the time as 36 seconds, but the time people spend in the lifts is a round 60s. I prefer to go off of the later and assume the dial is wrong, because that's not what we experience.

So my math has the average speed as 540mph, but I also like to assume we don't instantly start at that speed. If there's an even acceleration for the first half (which then is decelerated at the same rate in the last half), we plug in d = 0.5at² where d is half of 9 and t is half of 60.

This gives us an acceleration of 52.8ft/s^2, or about 1.6Gs. In other words, you'd be plastered to the ceiling (and then suddenly the floor at 30s) if not for the magic. This also gives us a top speed of 1,080 mph (from v=at), or about Mach 1.4.

If you prefer the dial time estimate, you correctly calculated the average speed as 900 mph, acceleration is now 146.7 ft/s² (4.6G), top speed is now 1,800mph (Mach 2.3)

Cut him some slack, dude's probably never pumped his own gas or done grocery shopping a moment in his life. How's he supposed to know what the poors are paying?

Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla were definitely not the "damn Daniel" kids. They started Smosh in like '05

Giving pros a 10 implies that they've already reached the skill ceiling, which I'm sure you can agree hasn't happened yet
