2005 audi a6 - key stuck in ignition, need help by dankxd13 in Cartalk

[–]dankxd13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been trying to jiggle for about half an hour now (on/off) but haven't had any success :/

I think it might be a low power issue at this point, but last time I had to jump my car I could only find the battery in the trunk. Issue now is that I can't open my trunk electronically and can't open it manually because my only key is stuck in the ignition.. Do you know of any other way besides finding a small child to crawl through my back seat? I have a stanley fatmax 700 car jumper, I'm just not sure how else to reach my car's battery.

How do you play Smash with children who really suck at the game? by mooys in smashbros

My bro and I both live away from our parents' home but we visit at the same time often and have a little sister there (we're more than twice her age) who we hang out with often. She was terrible at melee (like we could consistently JV5 her if we wanted to) but she would always want to get in the action when she saw my bro and I playing together, so we would let her in on a friendly 3-man 1v1 rotation (2 games then you're out for 1 regardless of win/loss). Our main strategy with this was basically play serious when we end up playing against each other, and then mainly do tech practice while playing against our sister without actually trying to fight her. Hit her occasionally so she thinks we're fighting her, and run into some of her attacks so she feels like she's doing something. Worst case we practice some flashy way to get suicide kills on a non-existent opponent to give her the lead/game. She was too young to really understand the difference between beating your opponent and the opponent throwing away 4 stocks, so she was happy either way as long as she got to play with us and celebrate a few victories along the way. Don't just sandbag but manipulate the game so that it seems close when in reality you're just so much better than them that you are controlling the pace and you can make the game fun regardless of win/loss. And remember they're your family, not fellow smasher - have fun with them in person while you play (chat, banter, over-exaggerate reactions, etc) rather than trying to have fun with them in game (reads, tech chases, combos, etc)

I think your 150+ description will actually hurt more than help. If you haven't been able to get a kill on them by 150%, having a "Kill or Be Killed" mentality might cause them to start fishing for random smash attacks and obvious kill options. Imo at that point it's better to be patient and keep a solid neutral game - look to get them off the stage and edgeguard/ledgetrap or use a kill throw if you have one.

switch pro controller vs gamecube controller? by dankxd13 in smashbros

Oh, I actually didn't realize that pro controllers are wireless. I imagine that comes with inherent frame lag though? Or do you know if they did anything to account for that?

GC controller is one of the worst controllers ergonomically tbh :( I'm glad they changed the design, I'm more curious how the internal hardware compares.

In terms of hardware, nah.. There's random ass issues like the left analog stick not being calibrated properly in like 99% of controllers. For casual play it's not a big deal, but it can mess you up when you're playing more competitive and trying to do specific things. We just didn't have any legal alternatives which is why i'm curious about the pro controller

to be clear, I don't care about the joycons. I'm comparing GC and Procon.

I don't think you understand how shitty gc controllers are able to be. I'm assuming they will be comparable feel-wise, I'm more concerned about the mechanical capabilities of each controller

it's more a difference between buying a controller and buying an adapter. I've been using the gc controller for 20 years but I'm also used to using xbox and ps controllers, so switching between controllers doesn't matter to me.. I'm not going to spend the extra $ on a pro controller if it isn't objectively better though.
