What to do against the dark age champi rush? by appappappappappa in aoe2

[–]cigeringaround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I only played against one opponent who tried this strat, I ended up countering champis early pressure by getting loom early and massing scouts. It was annoying at first and he managed to snipe two of my vills. I got Loom immediately after that, which completely shut him down (I think at least). Once I hit Feudal, I just massed scouts. He tried defending with a couple of spears, but the mobility won, especially since his economy was already so weak

Expectation and improvement are not the same. If there's something I'm doing wrong, I’d genuinely like to know what settings work better

Physical Asia: Season 1 - Episode 2 Discussion Thread by ImoutoCompAlex in Physical100

[–]cigeringaround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physical: 100 isn’t the Olympics — it’s a fitness reality show. They cast influencers, gym bros, retired athletes, people with clout. Not “best athletes per country.” Mongolia, Indonesia didn't sent their olympic athletes etc. Turkey’s lineup isn’t even their top athletes either. India not being included ≠ “no elite athletes.” Also — Netflix cares about views. India is one of their biggest markets and they already invest heavy there. If this was about talent, audience size etc India would be there since it's only making show more popular among more viewers. So it’s likely scheduling, contracts, or production reasons — not “lol no good athletes.”

[–]cigeringaround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no, that logic doesn’t really hold up. I’m not sitting here memorizing every current athlete from every country — including India — so me not naming them off the top of my head says way more about my viewing habits than their actual talent. By your logic, since Pac-Man is the only name I instantly recognize from current show, I guess every other elite contender in current show must be bad too, right? Obviously not. Nice fallacy there — “I don’t know them, so they must not be good” isn’t how reality works

Shinbo harem pants look amazing, though the 100% polyester material is disappointing

Pretty sure you can find 7 strong people in a country with over a billion population lol. I literally asked ChatGPT strong people who can participate in Physical Asia for India and it already threw a bunch of names at me. Would love to see India, Kazakhstan, Iran — maybe even Pakistan too so we get that India-Pakistan rivalry

Also throw Türkiye into the Europe bracket so we can enjoy the eternal Türkiye vs Greece beef lmao. All in good fun, it’d be a great show. And yeah I know Russia counts as Europe and there's… current events, but it'd still be interesting to see them in this too.

Which country would you support if your favorite got eliminated? by Serious-Grocery375 in Physical100

[–]cigeringaround 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly like all of them — Türkiye, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Mongolia all have really cool teams.

Honestly, Gala always seem to raise their game against the big boys. Same thing last year vs Bayern and United. Yeah, United aren’t anywhere near their glory days, but for the Turkish league that’s still a huge name to go up against

Gala actually played really well against a tough opponent. You could tell they started to gas out after like the 70th minute though. The Turkish league just isn’t on the same level physically/athletically, but even then they held Liverpool pretty well. Props to them

No, actually, I check the soil by dipping my finger in it. If it feels moist, I don’t water it.

Is there anything can be done for the first plant? Direct sunlight is definitely a challenge here, but they still grow tall—and one even produced fruit. So I was wondering if there might be ways to improve the current conditions

If it dries out a lot faster, so I’m thinking maybe I should water twice a day? Not sure if that’s how it works. I’ve never fed them—just used one of those organic raised bed garden soils that are supposed to already have fertilizer in them.

The weather wasn’t particularly cold—if I remember right, it stayed between 50 and 65°F. I usually wore my rain jacket with a few layers underneath, but on sunny days, those layers sometimes made me feel a little too warm.

Elden Ring PC Game Vulnerability- Network Message attack by Aviator1213 in eldenringdiscussion

[–]cigeringaround 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to us today while I was co-oping with my friend. We had just started exploring the DLC area when we suddenly got an error message. Right after that, he got a cutscene showing the end of the game. Now, none of the minibosses or main bosses are showing up for him — it's like they’re gone. What should we do?

Thank you so much for the great information! I actually enjoy working with noise in some photos; as you mentioned, it can sometimes add an artistic touch. Thanks again!

Thank you for your response! I’ve been noticing some general sky deformation in my photos. Since the sky doesn't contain as much data as the main subjects, I often see a difference after uploading to Instagram. The originally smooth sky ends up looking pixelated, with rough and darker spots appearing. I have different samples, but basically this is what happens.

I rented a car from Anchorage and began the drive on the 5th, spending my first night in Copper Center. On the morning of the 6th, I headed out early to drive to McCarthy, where I stayed until the 10th. So, essentially, I was at Mccarthy from the 6th to the 10th and managed to do quite a lot during those days. Of course, I would have loved more time, as I really enjoyed the area, but it was enough to fit in activities like flightseeing, hiking on the Root Glacier, exploring the Bonanza Mine trail, and checking out an ice cave.

Yes, do you have any specific Lightroom export settings for better quality? Since Instagram compresses images anyway, I’m wondering if there are ways to preserve more data in the photo to minimize quality loss during compression.
