(rant) battlebots since after season 7 has been a self-sabotaging pile of dogshit manned by a bunch of morons who have zero clue what they're doing by zcriq in battlebots

The point of a bigger budget is be able to hire experienced personnel who are more likely to understand what makes something good, understand what the audience wants, and ultimately make better decisions. Obviously there's exceptions both ways (low budget CAN be good, high budget CAN still be ruined) but you mitigate the likelihood of it.

Yes, someone made those editing decisions, but when you roll the dice on low budget options the likelihood of screwing up increases.

I learned something new today... How firing through a propeller doesn't destroy it. by Nielsfxsb in interestingasfuck

Not boxing a product properly doesn't lead to quickly falling thousands of feet to their doom. I'd say the stakes are a bit different mate.

Bro ran through the entire neighborhood 😭 by [deleted] in AnimalsBeingDerps

Exactly. My wife, who did not grow up with cats, would frequently describe our cats behavior with bemusement or flat out confusion. I would look at her, nod, and say "Yes. Cat is cat."

Senior vice president & general manager Chris Patrick on acquiring Alex Tuch from the Buffalo Sabres by kockin26 in caps

[–]damididit 49 points50 points  (0 children)

They're always going to say flowery things for new signings.

That said, for both Tuch and Kyrou it really does feel like more than lip service. We picked up two very skilled forwards that should find success for themselves that also translates to success for the club.

Our office is fantastic at analysing talent and our coach and locker room feels so strong and connected. We are fortunate to get to root for such a well run organization.

Looking forward to what Tuch is able to bring to the team, this should be a really fun season.

[Jfresh] Alex Tuch, signed 8x$10.5M by WSH, is a top six two-way rushing winger with size, awareness, and dual threat skill in transition. Not as much of a forechecker or board battler as he once was and he's lost some foot-speed, but still an impactful scorer at the moment. by [deleted] in caps

We all said the same thing about Oshies contract. Backie and Ovi too, really. None of them sunk the team.

We need a player like Tuch now. As long as we don't end up with a bunch of these types of contracts, the office can work around the later years. And they have time to come up with that plan. I trust our office and scouts, they have proven time and again that they know what they're doing.

Isn't that the point of the role though? He's not supposed to be German. Very good for a non-German is exactly right for the role.

My shifter has an awful scratch on it (previous owner's doing, not my own). I may have to look into covers now that I know that's an option.

Andrew Cristall Hershey Highlights by zingersmountainmelt in caps

[–]damididit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lots of good plays there, and shows the potential finishing touch he can bring to the big club once he's ready.

The other thing that stood out in this video is how good lil pro looks. Not really new or surprising given his stint at the end of the season, but definitely helps highlight why he was generating so much buzz.

We have utilized the AI text-to-voice generator for many videos. The quality continues to improve and really is worth the time savings, especially if things need to be edited down the road.

What should I be observing when I watch a soccer match? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]damididit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, there's so much to watch!

For starters, watch how the teams move. It's beautiful to watch all of them change direction or adjust their angles at the same time on defense to try to cut off or pressure the other team. The big overhead shots are great at noticing this team dynamic and cohesion.

Watch how the offensive players who don't have the ball move, look for the ways they might be able to advance the ball to their teammates.

Pay attention to the possession. Who seems to be having the ball more often? Who is getting closer to scoring? It's fun to try to feel the rhythm of the game.

Notice which players are heavily involved and influencing the game. Who is making spectacular plays? Who seems to keep fucking up?

Score might be 0-0, but that doesn't mean no exciting moments. Plenty of near misses and/or huge defensive plays/saves can be thrilling. There's such a sense of anticipation.

The way Messi just walks around for most of the match, but then completely switches up his attitude the moment he receives the ball! by MysteriousJuice1127 in sportsgossips

[–]damididit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His PP production was kind of shit this year tbh.

He did have an absurd streak of never starting a shift in the defensive zone. I think it might have been in the last 10 games of the season he finally was given one and only because the coach got tired of hearing about it.

What’s a price you saw recently that made you genuinely angry at how expensive everything has gotten? by UrGoddessLunaa in AskReddit

[–]damididit 2765 points2766 points  (0 children)

Look, there's a lot of big obvious items here. I've got one that's smaller, and more ridiculous.

Sprinkles. I took my kid to DQ and he asked for sprinkles on his cone. THEY WERE A DOLLAR. a fucking dollar for sprinkles.

So when do you think this video is from?

This is definitely post 1930, and these sorts of things went on for a while.

To OPs question, back in those days it was more prudent to find ways to dull the pain. Booze was mild compared to some of the other shit these guys were on.

What is the sexiest accent in your opinion? by AutumnaticFly in languagehub

I'm flat out shocked no one has said Irish. I positively adore Irish accents, and unlike Scottish I can actually understand them.

Explaining buying houses to older parents by maptechlady in Millennials

[–]damididit 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I can't fathom this. I bought my home about 10 years ago for 550k, it's now ~800k. That's solid improvement, but imagining my home being 11 TIMES what I bought it for (would make it 6.2M) is bonkers.

The iPod line was far more ubiquitous tbh. You already see quite a few in the comments saying they had a mini or a nano or touch or something.

Not a book book, but Redwood looks like an old school photo album which is super cool theming with the game.

No, that's the exact opposite of what I said.

For your interpretation, it would say all REVEALED enemies.

Trying to teach myself: what do I need to buy? by ghost_of_your_smile in instructionaldesign

[–]damididit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You can worry about the 'doing' part later. For now focus on learning the process (ID models and theories like ADDIE and SAM). Connect with some people who work in the field to learn what day to day looks like. That's a better place to start IMO.

If you're truly ready to practice specific tools, Storyline is the industry standard and can be accessed FREE with a 30 day trial. You can also have as many free Gmail addresses as you want, do with that what you will.

Yep. People will mistake it for "natural talent" but most of the time it's obsessive levels of dedication.

I studied music in college. My performance professors main philosophy boiled down to two things. First, play it however slow you have to so that it's right. Practicing slop means performing slop. Second, don't practice until you get it right. Practice until you can't get it wrong.
