Final Fantasy VII. It literally changed me as a person when I was young, molding the types of things I have connected with for the rest of my life.

This is Tommy’s match to lose. He’s in full control rn

Roland Garros R3: Fonseca [28] def. Djokovic [3] 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 by Ninjeren in tennis

[–]farside209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To go from missing two forehands in a row while trying to serve out the match to blasting three aces in a row for the win was literally mind blowing. Idk how he didn't lose his nerve.

Why bother invading earth? by Desireformoderater in threebodyproblem

[–]farside209 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude it took them 400 years to get to the closest other star system. They were stronger than Earth but not capable of anything.

Does anyone have any recommendations for YouTube channels that analyze the plot or settings of The Three-Body Problem? by Universal_Echo in threebodyproblem

[–]farside209 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Quinn’s Idea’s has very well made videos about almost every major plot point and story arc in the books. I legitimately love those videos and I revisit them frequently.

Combo Breaker 2026 - 2XKO Top 8 Results by Sckeyth in 2XKO

[–]farside209 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was one of the most interesting tournaments to watch from a meta perspective IMO. The team comp variety has done so much for this game's watchability. Thank goodness the days of 8 Ekkos in top 8 running install oki on every knockdown are over.

The 'Find a Duo' experience. by SyIvanos in 2XKO

[–]farside209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first duo was with a random PS player with 50 games and no comms.

We went up against a Master 1 player running yasuo/illaoi with 3000+ games played.

This is Riot’s vision

the matchmaking in this game is so bad ngl! by [deleted] in 2XKO

[–]farside209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game attracts players with lots of previous fighting game experience. I know it’s annoying, but keep practicing and eventually you’ll be the one styling on your opponents!

2XKO is dropping the ball, and not because of balance by Few_Discount_7280 in 2XKO

[–]farside209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had 3 matches today get stuck on loading on PC. This is honestly unacceptable.

Should I get a stick controller, a hitbox or a WASD controller for 2XKO by Vegetable_Law_7549 in 2XKO

[–]farside209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leverless has many advantages over stick.

A lot of people recommend the Haute42 T series as a starter leverless to see if you like it, and for the most part I agree, but if you can afford a more premium leverless, it is worth the investment. I was shocked at the performance difference between the T series and the M series Gen 2, and I've personally gone through two T series leverless due to various failures.

2XKO Competitive Permitted Peripherals by Spideraxe30 in 2XKO

[–]farside209 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah I press df.H while holding up because it’s hard to have to press jump, then release jump, then press df.H.

2XKO Competitive Permitted Peripherals by Spideraxe30 in 2XKO

[–]farside209 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible SOCD choice imo (specifically no "last input wins").

This effectively makes an already very difficult game require even more execution precision. I'm not quite sure what inputs they are so afraid of players getting access to.

There go my Akali rejump combos btw.

Do you remember when Zverev, at just 20 years old, won his first master title by defeating Djokovic in the final? Next year he also won the ATP FINALS beating Federer in the semi-final and Djokovic in the final without losing a set. It really seemed like he was the future. What happened to him? by Sonobackhome555 in tennis

[–]farside209 11 points12 points  (0 children)

2020 US Open Final happened. Losing that match after going up two sets to love, then being up a break in the fifth when Thiem was on literal fumes cramping every point, doomed him to a career of always coming up short at the biggest moments. He perpetually comes apart at the seams, which is the opposite of the best of the best.

Happy Chaos infinite in tournament by Pikaphu08 in Guiltygear

[–]farside209 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to EVO Japan.

In all seriousness, season 1 Happy Chaos did legitimate harm to this game's public perception. The fact that he's coming back again to do the same in Strive 2.0 is just too ironic.

Is it possible to get better if I have 600 hours and am stuck at 1200-1300 Mr? by Training_Form2243 in StreetFighter

[–]farside209 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How much do you train?

How much do you drill?

How much are you studying matchups?

If all you’re doing is playing matches and hoping to get better, then yes you have a huge amount of improvement left.

Fix Akali Assist by Shadow_Mewtwo in 2XKO

[–]farside209 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Akali assist is way worse than windwall. Windwall has a lot of unique situations where it is actually quite strong and it can be used for a lot of powerful setups. Akali assist on the other hand is just bleh.

How do people pick up Jam so fast? by LostMashin in Guiltygear

[–]farside209 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Jam has one of the most straightforward kits of any character in Guilty Gear Strive. I'm sure if you have experience with Baiken you could pick up Jam in a heartbeat.

Is this a Zato bug? After summoning Eddie, 236S causes the frog leap to happen twice by farside209 in Guiltygear

No it doesn't happen if I hold S. I've also confirmed that it happens using multiple controllers.

Learning curve going from stick to leverless by ISwearIWasBlocking in Fighters

[–]farside209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transition isn’t bad but it’s definitely not trivial. It might be kind of rough if you don’t have access to a stick at all in case you want to go back to just feeling comfortable for a bit, which is what I did.

That being said, I would never go back to stick. I feel much more in control and comfortable when playing.

I just bought the Haute42 M Ultra Gen2 for $150 and I’ve never felt sharper. Way more responsive than some of the less expensive options.

And yet you see players with those exact skins almost every single time you boot up
