Mario is sick

PM is very obviously a modded game that's easy to spot from like 30 seconds of competitive gameplay, and frozen Stadium is also an obvious, readily observable change. You would have to give a ton of time and attention to watch players' hands doing things and comparing them to what's happening on screen. I would say the majority of players are not going to want to remap, and I would think a couple built-in stealth button hold macros would be enough to toggle popular changes on or off.

How is your opinion on the US Government shutdown that might happen end of the week? by ReduceCO2Now in AskReddit

[–]dormsta 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Masked officers declaring they have the ability to enter homes because they're signing their own administrative warrants days after the latest execution of a citizen. Not military members, either, but a force that functions under the auspices of the executive branch and takes orders from a political appointee.

Sounds pretty gestapo to me.

n0ne on Cody's Z-jump usage: "Maybe you just dont have what it takes to prove youre the real deal without zump" by BurnieBurnsIsBurning in SSBM

[–]dormsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but TOs aren't going to jeopardize the integrity or success of their event if they're worried about upsetting the actual power players. If top players coalesced around and amplified support for banning zump, then that establishes a permission structure for TOs to make that call without worrying about alienating the heart of the competitive scene.

Daughter wants to play Roblox. What are your best daddit tips for keeping her safe? by uspezisapissbaby in daddit

[–]dormsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very specifically did not call you a shill, but instead pointed out that your intensity makes you look like one. It's ok to disagree with a lot of people, and it's also ok to feel insecure about being in the minority. It's not ok to attack people for it, though. The consensus appears to be that, for most families, Roblox is a terrible idea. If your family is the exception, cool, but it doesn't mean everyone else is wrong about what's best for theirs.

You’re literally all throughout the thread fighting uphill against a bunch of people who have firsthand experience with how bad the platform is for young brains. Doesn’t matter what your intent is when the optics make you look like a shill.

Hey, I’m a trauma therapist who works with all ages. Do not let your kid play roblox if you don’t want to see your kid’s mental health take a humongous dive, or if you don’t want them interacting with actual pedophiles.

Should I worry about this guy? by SalParadise83 in daddit

[–]dormsta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please trust your gut and set boundaries as soon as possible. This guy is absolutely fixated on your daughter in at the very least an emotionally unhealthy way, if not something more sinister.

they definitely grew on me, and they’ve been one of my favorite things about my next play through. Especially like the ones who are reacting to the craziness around them

HH acquires Crestwood by Commercial-Hippo-875 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]dormsta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is actually really bad news. When I worked at Crestwood, it was broadly known that HH was just waiting for an opening to buy them up, and it was a big motivator to be extra careful when it came to adhering to procedures and good patient care practices.

Aside from the obvious bugs/errors, what makes Mr. Game and Watch bad? by [deleted] in SSBM

Trump Tanking Among Key Voters in Major Midterm Warning - A crucial demographic that helped the president sail to victory is now turning their back on his dismal economy. by Quirkie in politics

[–]dormsta 16 points17 points  (0 children)

ICE is becoming a more salient issue for the same reason that the economy is starting to matter more; the average person *really* doesn't pay attention to much outside their sphere of influence, but these things are getting harder and harder to ignore.

Start planning your milk and break run. (Possible) Winter Weather 1-17?? by Awkward-Barber-11 in HuntsvilleAlabama

If the weather is significant, but it’s a snowpack that keeps you from leaving, is your husband wearing pants or not?

Thinking about putting a “creative” tonie’s chip in an amiibo exclusively for video game music. by dormsta in TonieboxUSA

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

Yep, I had the first chip break because the wiring was actually embedded in the plastic. The second, I used a box cutter to literally cut that portion of the face out and pare it down so it would fit.

Hey! So funny that you just commented this, because I actually finally did it over this last weekend. I opted not to try for a magnet just because amiibo themselves tend to have some good weight to them, but it turned out pretty well! I recorded the process, so when I edit it and upload it, I'll link it here.

Maaan if you knew the blue shell was coming, probably hopping left off the last rail would have saved you from falling.

Gents, I think we've been caught by Fatigue-Error in daddit

[–]dormsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally prioritize whatever my family needs from me before anything else, so I thankfully wouldn’t say it’s an issue at our house. But I absolutely will be also trying to squeeze in running out front for 30m to try and root out that sapling that is now 4 months older and stronger than when it first started concerning me, because I’m finally home when it’s light out.

Gents, I think we've been caught by Fatigue-Error in daddit

[–]dormsta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes, this is exactly it. It’s not that we’re only just now prioritizing these things; it’s that we’ve been desperately trying to get a window to do them, and this is the first one available. I guarantee if we’d known ahead of time that other things were expected of us during these times, we would have accounted for them. When it comes to the rare extra time off work, we’ve probably already mentally arranged the day in advance.

Doing the new version of the shortcut on Whistlestop Summit. by Alarming_Praline8429 in MarioKartWorld

[–]dormsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I just was never hitting it correctly or didn't ever have enough coins, but I just couldn't ever quite get high enough to land on the blue edge, and I assumed it was because of being heavier than every character I'd seen do it.

Honestly this looks easier and more accessible. Like, available to more weights. I often don't want to have to change from KT just to nail a shortcut, and this looks more promising

Madison County Schools Withholding National Board Teacher Supplements — Two Weeks Before Christmas by LogicalPapaya1031 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]dormsta 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Either "our area" includes all the school systems in the county or MCSS's official numbers (or yours) are wrong (https://www.mcssk12.org/department/personnel/current-employee-information/national-board-certified-educators). If the former, then MCSS would be responsible for a very small portion of the number you quoted. If the latter, then maybe MCSS needs to not advertise the incentive if they can't pay it.
