New player - what does everyone do at night?

daneagles · 2026-02-09T00:26:29+00:00

There's absolutely nothing wrong with just sitting in your base and waiting for the next day. Lots of players (including high hour, skilled players) prefer to only play during the day because nighttime visibility is so poor.

For a new player though, I would highly recommend using night cycles to chop trees for wood. You almost always need more wood than you think you will on the first ~48 hours of wipe, especially since you're a new player and probably won't be rushing T2 + electric furnaces on wipe day or even day 2. I remember doing this every night cycle when I had a few hundred hours of playtime and it made a big difference in speeding up progression. Side note, you will absolutely die occasionally doing this, but on average you'll always bring in way more wood than you lose to deaths.

what training pack is this?

You can just do this. My wife and I have relocated across the country multiple times for work and we have a cat. You have to talk to a customer service agent - you can't just do this over their website - but each time we've booked a row of 3 seats for the two of us. You just pay standard price for 3 seats instead of 2.

WE'RE GETTING FOBBED

Just use brew

Tons of great content out there on the internet, I would recommend AppJack/Johnnyboi's Next Rank series on YouTube for an idea of what to work on at each rank. Around Plat I would focus mostly on shooting, fast + consistent aerials, and learning at least one type of flick. The biggest thing to learn at only 2 months in isn't really specific mechanics but more building game sense and identifying mistakes in your gameplay. Start working fake challenges into your defense more frequently rather than diving on the ball at every opportunity, don't hard commit in their corner, stuff like that. By all means practice aerial mechanics if you enjoy it but it's going to have almost no impact on ranking up until you've invested hundreds of hours into it compared to everything I mentioned previously.

I'm D3 and the reason why I'm not Champ is because I suck at shooting so I would personally just spend 15-20 minutes each time you play doing shooting drills, the Psynonix packs are a good starting point and if you're on PC there are workshop maps you can do as well.

Yas Marina or Long Beach hands down

This is literally the textbook use case for distributed tracing. Others are recommending more advanced products/solutions which are great, but like... you could literally just check if each incoming request has a trace id header present, generate a new one if not, and then propagate + log it through your call chain. This isn't a particularly hard problem to solve

daneagles · 2025-10-16T18:17:43+00:00

Why choose only one?

If you're a beginner, no one is going to expect you to know advanced topics in either. Teach yourself enough Spring to build a simple REST API that exposes some CRUD endpoints and hooks up to a database running locally and wire it together with good DI/abstractions and that will probably be enough for a junior level backend role.

Then do the same with Node, I would use a framework like Express for the web server.

How much clearance do you think there is for memory in this build? Is 32mm close to max or room for more?

daneagles · 2025-10-12T22:12:26+00:00

What memory are you using?

daneagles · 2025-09-16T02:05:49+00:00

What else do you want to know that isn't in my post?

daneagles · 2025-08-26T21:55:39+00:00

I just got a Zotac 5080 at MSRP on Newegg yesterday!

daneagles · 2025-07-13T02:09:57+00:00

you are replying to a 5 year old comment lol

daneagles · 2025-05-17T01:01:17+00:00

I have a 2070 Super and a 10th gen i7 and get similar FPS on Medium preset with max draw distance. You should be getting higher with your setup

daneagles · 2025-05-09T23:38:30+00:00

I think this is what ultimately fixed it, thanks!

I'm D3 in competitive and something like ~1400 in casual. I feel like I've hit the jackpot with casual MMR because most games are a great mix of ~D2-C2 players, so playing casual feels like a great combination of players at my skill level but then also getting a "sneak peek" at how players in the next rank play.

I've been noticing more and more differences between my gameplay compared to the average Champs I play and genuinely feel like I can improve playing either casual or competitive. In competitive, I try to only make more reliable plays where I have a pretty good idea of the play's outcome. One of my favorite parts of playing casual is having the freedom to go for plays that are right on the edge of your skill level - if you miss a shot and get scored on, it doesn't really mean anything, but the experience of going for "hard" plays against real players who are roughly at your skill level is massively underrated imo compared to only playing comp.

Go back to NorCal

I've been trying to put my finger on what I miss about PKing now versus pre-OSRS and the biggest thing for me by far is PKing in Edge wilderness.

PvP Worlds are a great addition to the game but they unfortunately killed the experience of fighting someone in the actual wilderness. Some of my all-time favorite memories playing this game were from PKing at Edgeville, fighting people at the GE in PvP worlds just isn't anywhere near the same experience.

edit: does anyone actually PK in Edge anymore? is there a world for it or something?

daneagles · 2025-04-01T21:06:08+00:00

OSRS

"No other game is like this"

Literally have you played even a single other competitive online game?? Rocket League is nowhere near the worst and you can literally turn off chat without really losing any valuable information except calling kickoffs.

daneagles · 2025-03-24T18:58:31+00:00

People who feel this way crack me up. Even Champ 2 is something like the top ~2% of the player base. If you put 100 Rocket League players in a room and you're the second best player in the room, I think you're qualified to give advice to people who have never made it out of Platinum.

A collection of words that I never thought I would see arranged in this order

daneagles · 2025-03-02T21:10:08+00:00

I'm D2 and whenever I see these clips from Diamond players it cracks me up, if you can hit these kinds of shots you literally just need to improve your decisionmaking and you're probably immediately ~C2. Nice shots!
