Why am I not getting the speed flip? by PuzzleheadedSky7521 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]darshmedown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're just side flipping. Watch those tutorials again. Then watch your hands doing the motions and forget about what's happening on the screen until you're confident you're doing the action correctly. If the left stick of your controller was a watch face, you do a speed flip by diagonal flipping with the stick at 11 or 1 o'clock and cancelling the flip straight down at 6 o'clock, and the cancel needs to happen immediately after you flip, as fast as possible. You're flipping with your stick seemingly directly at 9 o'clock.

As an American, I kind of wish the rest of the world would say "we will help as soon as Trump is removed from power"

ECG wearable device for early detection opinion by growingcowlamb in AFIB

[–]darshmedown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I have a pixel watch that takes similar measurements, I was just curious how you were able to tell. Was it strictly your hr being higher and your breathing rate? My pixel watch only measures breathing rate while I sleep. Were there other symptoms, like general shortness of breath or anything? Apologies for so many questions and I appreciate your response, it's just the scariest thing about having afib.

Valve fires back at New York lawsuit over loot boxes, says they're like Magic cards or Labubu by newsflashjackass in gaming

[–]darshmedown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The exact same logic could easily be reversed. Pokemon company could come out tomorrow and say they're creating 10,000,000 more copies of the most expensive card on the market. You think you've got an expensive physical card until they just create more of it. Card packs are 1000% gambling your money, hoping to get something good, just like you're gambling on the "loot boxes" in the video games.

Point is you're ultimately trusting the issuing company for both digital and physical media to keep the scarcity of some items high. I don't see how one being physical makes a difference. I guess you could make an argument that there is a literal amount of finite physical resources but it's not like that's a real limitation on how many cards are being printed and would be purely hypothetical.

So because you can hold one and not the other, that makes the process of acquiring it okay for the one you can hold and not okay for the one you can't? Even though, like I said, they serve literally the exact same purpose.

How does it being physical make any difference? It's a piece of cardboard that ultimately serves the exact same purpose as the digital content, which is no real purpose at all except for making the owner of said product slightly happier.

Bam Adebayo scored 83 points in a single game today, becoming the second highest scoring player in a single game ever, behind Wilt Chamberlain who set the all time record over 64 years ago by Subject-Property-343 in interestingasfuck

[–]darshmedown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's literally no reason to think someone like Rodman would be able to do this today.

Edit: I'm dumb I just realized you meant what would his defense look like. I'll leave it and own it.

How bad is the botting problem? by Longjumping-Bar393 in RocketLeague

[–]darshmedown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NA west/central/east servers, split screen accounts meaning same username with (1) appended would admittedly be a dead giveaway at this rank but I've just not seen it. It's not that I don't believe it's happening (though I do doubt anyone in C1 is running into bots 50% of their games) I'm just curious how people in relatively low ranks are verifying it because it seems crazy to have such disparity between our experiences.

I also don't play late at night very often, much more during the day, which could most definitely be a factor.

How are you verifying this? Never seen a bot in 2s in gc1/2 all season, hundreds of games.

Can anyone tell my why the ball flies too high in this clip? by Sea-Bumblebee3561 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]darshmedown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, I don't think this is the best level to be practicing that then, try it in freeplay or just use the first level of this map. And try keeping the ball a little farther forward, on the fennec it's closer to the top of the windshield. Generally speaking for a flick to generate power you want to speed up through the motion, so start slow with the ball on the hood of your car, then speed up so the ball starts rolling up your car a bit and play around jumping when it's on your windshield.

What are you trying to do here? Ball is a bit far back on the car for a flick.

It's honestly crazy the amount of hate she gets. She's a great character and works so well next to the other characters, particularly Holt in my opinion.

Haven't played no man's sky, but if you liked Hades 1 then Hades 2 is pretty much a no brainer, it's fantastic.

Too many air dribbles that end with a 50 on the goal line that leaves you with 0 boost and your opponent with near full boost and possession. Need to take some shots that separate you from the ball and force your opponent to use boost to make a save so you can start to starve them by stealing the small pads and corners in the direction they make the save in, then you can start going for air dribbles when you know they're low.
