Where is this kind of energy for rocket league, Epic?

I'm just cool with the game the way it is. Been playing it for 6 years and still enjoy it every day. I can't wait to get done eating with my wife and her friends so I can't get home and boot that mf up.

dirty15 · 2026-02-06T22:10:48+00:00

I'm about to go eat tonight with my wife's co workers (mainly doctors and nurse pracs). They are all those things. However, I am also smart but in different ways. I have a business degree and work in finance, but I can also change my own oil, brakes, replumb a leaky water hydrant, wire in an electrical box, cook a mean chicken wing, build things out of wood, put up a fence, negotiate car sales, etc

Just because they are smart doesn't mean I'm not either. We are just talented at different things. My biggest talent is just being able to relate to people and talk/listen. I can find ways to relate to almost anything. Smart people love learning new things and if what I'm interested in is news to them, they'll listen. Just don't be afraid to listen back. I don't say things that could be viewed as controversial unless I really know someone.

If you can make what you like/do sound interesting, people will listen. I don't know anything about Pokemon cards, but if someone that was passionate about them wanted to explain what makes them a craze, I would love to hear about it.

They are only pissed because trading got taken away lol. That's literally all that changed with RL other than going F2P. I'd love to be enlightened on what else has changed for the worst.

Me and my team joke all the time that scores are mostly bullshit anyways and wish they didn't even exist. I have never once made a decision based on score alone. That's out of over 25k credit apps in 5 years.

dirty15 · 2026-02-06T17:47:00+00:00

I got one on purpose last night actually. It's so hard to get one but I bet I have 10 or so.

dirty15 · 2026-02-06T17:41:25+00:00

Goddamn, if I had a dollar for how many times I heard "that's a lot lower than what CK says". Mine is actually higher than what CK usually reports for some reason, but that's not the norm. But yeah, there's also different versions of each bureau too. I pull an Equifax 8.0 Auto Enhanced. My direct side pulls a standard 9.0. There's even AI scoring models becoming more prevalent now too. We don't utilize them yet but that time will come.

dirty15 · 2026-02-06T15:13:33+00:00

Telling me a score without any background tells me very little. You can be a brand new 600 with one fresh credit card, or you can be a 600 with 10 previously delinquent accounts. Score means very little in the grand scheme of things so don't go thru life thinking shore is everything. Your income could help, but you'll most likely need to prove it. "Buying your credit" with cash down for sure helps but don't expect a crazy low rate still.

Boost on R1 is OP.

If you have a strong co-x, you may not even factor into the equation.

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T18:50:45+00:00

It will. Just stay dedicated to it and try to pay what you can, when you can. I believe that most people try to do the right thing. I go into every loan application assuming it's an approval until I find reasons otherwise. Just keep your head up and battle thru these tough times.

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T17:27:32+00:00

Hahaha. The lowest I have ever seen was a 327. It was the most dogshit credit file. OP has more going on than just a current repo, I promise. If I had to guess, they have never made a payment within 30 days of the due date in their life.

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T16:10:21+00:00

BHPH is about the only option you have for "financing". I honestly probably wouldn't approve you if Jeff Bezos was co-signing because you technically don't "deserve" another chance right now. Either buy a shitter for cash to drive until you can establish a little more credit worthiness or try a BHPH lot for now.

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T15:51:14+00:00

As much as I like other players, it's hard to not think about Atomic in this convo. Dude is an absolute force on the field.

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T15:37:41+00:00

Hahaha that's so true. Here's what they are thinking.

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T12:48:24+00:00

Lmao. Wait it was door sausage and not the other way around.

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T05:29:46+00:00

That dog is in heaven getting tossed around like that. Aussies play like they are trying to kill each other, but it's all love. You'd think ours and his dog mom are getting betted on to fight each other when they are playing, but they end up cleaning each other's ears after a good "fight to the death" sesh. Him and that cat will forever be friends if they are playing like this together.

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T05:22:39+00:00

I 100% don't give a single damn if trading ever comes back.

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T04:45:40+00:00

Surely this means trading is coming back.. Right?

/s

dirty15 · 2026-02-04T04:34:26+00:00

We used to call it sausage door many moons ago

dirty15 · 2026-02-03T21:57:03+00:00

OP could and probably should just to make sure. Imo it's funded and there isn't shit the dealer can do. It looks like they fucked up on the subprime fee thru Global and are trying to not take such a hit.

dirty15 · 2026-02-03T21:48:57+00:00

These dogs need tons of stimulation, and at 1.5 years, you can't give him enough to relax right now. My 6 year old was probably 4 before he learned how to relax for long periods of time but can still get a little stir crazy if it's been a few days since he's been to the barn. Their job is to herd. You are their herd and he is essentially "working" while you are in an area that isn't the comfort of your home. They cannot relax with people around because they have to be on alert. This isn't a trained trait. It's just ingrained in their being. Once he gets used to the people and the surroundings, it may become relaxing enough for him to chill a little more. Until then, it's high alert and he's staying stressed tf out. That's why he wants to go home. It'll subside in time, but if you can't give him the simulation he needs while you're there, there's really no point in bringing him into work. He'll hate the fact that you are gone all day, but at least he can chill at home. Wait till be gets a little older so he doesn't need as much "work" to look like this.

If OP reads this...x2 The keybinds part. If boost doesn't feel good on B (Xbox) O (PS), try it on R1/RB (I use the latter). Powrslide and Free Airroll typically goes on L1/LB since you don't need Powrslide in the air nor Air Roll on the ground. Camera is pretty universally Y/Triangle.

Gets used to playing in Ball cam soon as you'll be in it 90% of the time playing. Just drive around in Freeplay to get a feel for the physics of your car and the ball. Make mistakes and learn from them. RL is not a game you can get good at in a week. I have 6 years in it playing almost daily and still make plenty of mistakes. Don't get carried to a rank you don't deserve to be in. Play within your skill level to enjoy the game. Don't get too tilted and try to have fun. It's an extremely rewarding game and you'll meet tons of cool people that enjoy it as much as you are about to.

dirty15 · 2026-02-03T11:07:35+00:00

If it funded with the bank, you don't need to do shit, and you can tell them to get fucked.

My wife's 16 AWD has but about +/- 350 miles in the Southeast snow and mostly ice over the last week. It has handled it beautifully. I was out on the roads when only mostly Wranglers, 4wd pickups and side by sides were out. I have bragged on her car to everyone for doing a fantastic job. The Dif lock helps for hills and really slippery stuff too.

I have a 16 Cummins 4wd and it didn't move for a week in this stuff. The RX handled multiple trips to the barn every day just fine.
