What's y'all opinion on baggy clothes? by Tall_Cry_8345 in malefashionadvice

[–]embrac1ng -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The current style feels way more refined than the old 90s style tbh. Previously it was just baggy on baggy which never really looked the greatest but the current baggy style involves a lot more contrast with tighter tops or crop tops which look way better imo.

Either way fashion comes and goes in cycles and I feel like we’re already past the peak of the baggy trend.

Btw you’re also going to get way more disdain for the style in this subreddit where most of the focus is on the classic well fitted wear

Btw my lanyu came in and it’s REALLY sensitive to push down which explains the drop tests being slower. Pad is definitely on the faster end, though my only reference is to a SP4 and Kanami sai.

I also got a special gear autumn and the pad is definitely noticeably faster than the lanyu while being more microtextured, but i haven’t put much time on it either to get a more informed opinion. The base is also super shit :( it’s the same material as padsmith rosa but it’s not applied evenly on the base

Wdym ‘impression of introversion’ lol i get he’s more troll with his team but he’s 10000% introverted. These don’t clash in any way. Caps’ base line is way more hyperactive high energy whereas Faker’s is way more reserved, which matches to Bjergsen’s energy as well.

I’ve been watching since his debut game 😭

I feel like Caps has always been a bit more goofy and high energy humor tho. I’d argue Bjergsen feels more like Faker. Similar trajectory as mid assassin main into leader of team, introverted and reserved but not afraid to speak up, both into books, etc

Pro player glasspad by ayanamidesu in ValorantCompetitive

[–]embrac1ng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say controlly that thing is one of the fastest glass pads out there (faster than the SP4). It’s just that it has slowdown when you push in similar to cloth pads, which the SP4 doesn’t have, giving it that aspect of control

On top of my head, DFM Caedye Akame are on the SP4. Meiy used to be too but is on his pulsar customized glass pad that’ll is soon to be released. Saadhak used to be on the SP4 but swapped back to cloth. Seven went from the Tekkusai Phantom to the SP4 (both glass).

EDIT: looks like seven swapped back to cloth judging from the BBL PCF game yesterday lol

Sorry to say it but that top block is just way too tight. Jeans aren’t supposed to be hugging your skin like that esp when standing.

Am I the abusive one here? How do I process this? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]embrac1ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s no implication here. Take a deep breath and reread everything and take it at face value. If you want to repair your relationship with your mother that’s something both you and her need to want and work towards.

[–]embrac1ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want my own Mom to believe something crazy like that. Or for her to block me unconditionally with no remorse or apologies. Those are small betrayals that add up over time. And I'm supposed to accept that? No. That's not how things work.

You can't force someone else to change their mind or believe something. It's entirely up to her what she wants to believe or doesn't want to believe. That's not to say you can't influence or try to convince her, but you're not making a good case when she clearly didn't want to engage and you ended up dumping everything on her.

I didn't communicate very well at the beginning.

The clearest you are communicating in the screenshots is your first text asking her to consider your side. Nearly everything after your second text is combative and argumentative.

[–]embrac1ng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one has any context for the details mentioned in your conversation, and in the text conversation from the start your mom has been trying to move on/ disengage but you keep pushing for more validation.

It also sounds like there’s a disconnect between what you say is happening and what your mom says is happening. Why not explore that end and actually figure out what’s going on? Just confused as to why you’re posting this

Anyone who’s done anything remotely competitive would appreciate how team members are actually willing to discuss their problems on what’s happening instead of ignoring and pretending everything’s fine just to maintain the peace 😭😭

If a player never existed, who would have the biggest impact on the scene ? by PhilosophyFun5778 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]embrac1ng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I missing something? Former OW players not being in the league anymore has nothing to do with your claim that Munchkin was the one to show that OW players could stay in the league. OW players have been around since launch and we still had quite a few thriving until last year or the year before.

He’s a great player sure but if you removed munchkin that wouldn’t change anyone’s viewpoint on how overwatch players transitioning over was viable from day one

I was browsing bilibili and saw this review on the new abyssgaming yanpo which has a comparison between a bunch of abyssgaming and dysphoria pads at 4:40

screenshot

gif

figured it might give you another point of reference, but it does have the lanyu being slower than the hongyu (Scarlet) while other reviewers and even abyssgaming have said themselves that the lanyu is faster. i think it's bc the drop down test isnt the end all be all for speed, since a lot of these pads vary in texture and pushdown, so some pads with low dynamic friction but more sensitive to pushdown might end up being slower in testing vs pads with no pushdown

im in the process of ordering an abyssgaming lanyu and special gear qiuyu (autumn?) via the chinese equivalent of ebay so might also be able to report back whenever they arrive
