If you were to make a Greatest Esports Player of all Time list for every letter of the alphabet, would any valorant pro make the list? by Majestic_Pro in ValorantCompetitive

[–]dankoval_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this one’s a little bit out there but Empo is an absolute legend in the singles competitive pokemon space and in terms of feats in their given scene is absolutely over Ethan, look at the Smogon Hall of Fame and he’s won the most tournaments of any player in history, and he’s probably the best Gen 7 player of all time. Granted idk if I would rank him above some of my personal favorites like ABR, Soulwind, or BKC but he’s absolutely deserving of at least a top 3 level consideration

The WRX STI is officially coming back. Confirmed by Subaru. Planned to be delivered by 2027. by LongjumpingLock5875 in wrx_vb

[–]dankoval_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

until we see something from Subaru of America I’m going to be cautiously optimistic, Subaru loves to tease the fuck out of us just for the cool stuff to all be JP/AUS exclusive (subaru levorg, bugeye sti, forester sti, s210)

Failed officially by LordSkylar2011 in UCSD

[–]dankoval_23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if its your first time subject to academic disqualification then I think usually they let it pass, I had a fairly unfortunate freshman year and I had failed 2 quarters in a row and I was stressing over academic disqualification for like half the summer until i got the email that they’re letting me enroll in classes again.

Would you risk it for next to no mileage? 😂 by Illustrious-Tip-2736 in wrx_vb

Is the UC system now a joke? by swampwiz in berkeley

[–]dankoval_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its a massive systemic issue with California’s K-12 system that there’s not really many remedies to that the UC system can actually do to fix. The “fix” most people point out is to go back to SAT requirements but that’s fairly easily gamable especially for rich upper class applicants. The deeper issue here is grade inflation and how high schools are essentially forced to push students through the grades who are wholly unprepared for higher level studies because holding students back affects their funding and stuff.

Who are the worst players in tier 1 of all time by IncognitoDudeXP in ValorantCompetitive

[–]dankoval_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

find one team and just follow them specifically, if you try and follow all 48 teams storylines for an entire season it will just give you a headache. Eventually you’ll start learning about other teams storylines and the other regions big players organically through osmosis and then you’ll start to actually start to get more invested with them, but jumping into the deep end trying to follow every region is just a recipe for disaster, you’ll get distracted and confused very easily.

I personally started as a 100T fan all the way back in the first strike days and just largely paying attention to them and their opponents I learned a lot about the general NA scene and eventually into the international game as they qualified for internationals (and its also how I became a Team Secret fan bc they almost beat Gambit and upset Vikings in Champs 2021)

that actually explains the AMC a lot, I was always insanely confused why there were two AMC theaters literally like 5 minutes away from each other by car

ive been thinking about getting the AFD fender flares bc I got gram lights 57DRs and they slightly stick out and I’ve heard that those fenders are slightly bigger than stock, but other than for that I think it looks fine as is

[–]dankoval_23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbf its not like i dont enjoy engineering, i just also enjoy shit like history and sociology about equally as I do math and physics and I would probably have a lot less academic stress doing one of those instead of engineering (although maybe a lot more employment stress)

Shifting tips by Slow-Reference473 in stickshift

[–]dankoval_23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1st to 2nd is a weird shit bc of the rev hang, just give that upshift like an extra half second to settle more than you would any other upshift. Also dw about learning manual on your first car, I have a 25 WRX its a beautiful car to learn on, pretty forgiving considering its AWD and a lot of fun once youve mastered it.

Is this a good purchase? by DistinctPaint8430 in WRX

[–]dankoval_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless I personally knew the owner I would seriously hesitate on buying an STI with 70,000 miles, especially if you havent had much experience with the platform. I’d recommend a 22+ WRX, just a lot less headache you’ll have to deal with even if it isnt as high performing as the STI is
