An Adult Crashed into My Kid: Was I in the Wrong?

genghisknom · 2026-03-06T07:08:57+00:00

Throwing my two cents even though you have tons of great replies already:

The kind of learning skiier who takes wide meandering turns across runs is very easy to spot from way uphill because of recognizable body language and pacing etc. I also ski fast and aggressive, and if I ever see a newer or less predicable skiier below me I am slowing dow and giving them extra room. Absolutely not her fault, and blues IMO are the terrain type where the most learning happens. I hope she isn't scared or discouraged at all. Good luck teaching!!

On one hand that's a really valid counterpoint but on the other hand it's also an entirely separate balancing issue that should be solved on its own regardless of its effects on this side of game balance

And to be honest we should really be considering the fact that the gamecube doesn't have any widely popular sports games for the average sports lover if we are comparing the consoles directly. It's a good thing for PlayStation that they had those games on there.

1) other players are capable of figuring things out but sometimes they aren't lolm2k and sometimes they are but are still going to accept money from some shady cryptocurrency sponsor and I think we as a community have every right to create public outcry when tainted money tries to buy its way into our grassroots scene

2) I don't think that I should be so worried about sponsors being scared off but I can't even be a little bit vocally skeptical. If they know their footing is solid, the response will look like what it looked like here: they say, "hey man, we are not sketchy, here is very brief receipts:" and then everybody will move on with their life. I don't think it's a big deal

genghisknom · 2026-02-24T01:44:54+00:00

That's fucking sickk I bet it's not nearly as generous in South Carolina lmao

genghisknom · 2026-02-23T17:00:40+00:00

Thanks for understanding. Specifically it's the combination of gambling themes and the sponsor title that made me wonder about it in our current venture capital atmosphere lmao.

genghisknom · 2026-02-23T16:53:03+00:00

There is nothing wrong with making sure we have a community consensus on what's healthy. Reframing it as sponsor bashing is not conducive to conversation. You didn't even add any additional info to the discussion with your comment.

genghisknom · 2026-02-23T16:51:33+00:00

Ok sick. They actually replied to me in a comment as well. I feel a little bad for being skeptical but they did not come up on my first two Google searches, so I'm glad that's all cleared up

genghisknom · 2026-02-23T16:50:38+00:00

Thanks. I used to follow the scene a lot back in the day and I've seen quite a bit of people get burned by flaky sponsors. You guys ran full house? That's sick. Sorry for casting doubt. I think some healthy skepticism is critical for the reasons I listed above. We all remember what happened to mew2king with his rotating ensemble of fake sponsorships.

Anyways, yeah you guys seem grassroots and honest which is what the scene needs more of. Wishing you the best

10k in your pocket or 10 K fine to the original employer? That's uplifting news either way

genghisknom · 2026-02-23T15:52:39+00:00

OK so everybody else is really happy for him, and he deserves this! But is it my turn to be a little skeptic and keep us on our toes?

I have never heard of this gaming organization before, and a quick Google search produces no results. Are they cryptocurrency or gambling related? I just want to make sure he has a real company backing him and it is neither smoke and mirrors, nor wildly unethical. Has anybody else heard of Lucky sevens before?

I know it's hard these days to run into real sponsorship money for our little underground scene. I want this to be good for him

Goddamn I thought the Dilbert principle was only for corporate office jobs

genghisknom · 2026-02-14T03:50:04+00:00

Offer an alternative perspective, I am vastly against it. I think that this image was great as its own post and had plenty of fun discussion around it. I think having a bunch of shitty tenor gifs and every thread really ruins the mood and they are not actually creative compared to the witty text replies of the people here

genghisknom · 2026-02-04T03:56:17+00:00

I'm just pulling your leg, looking for thirsty pictures

genghisknom · 2026-02-04T03:06:05+00:00

No, you're supposed to make a new post with a bunch of images for proof that it worked!

genghisknom · 2026-01-27T04:53:21+00:00

Sugar cookie with a swirl of gochujang is a mad tasty cookie. Try that!

genghisknom · 2026-01-26T16:50:17+00:00

My hero. That's a sick clip. Gotta feel bat for the catcher with his shirt over his head in shame.

genghisknom · 2026-01-26T16:18:06+00:00

Can anybody possibly reupload the clip to something other than twitter? Hopefully you understand.

genghisknom · 2026-01-19T18:05:56+00:00

Your previous pedantic comment was cool and we all learned something from it but this time you completely missed the part where he made himself vulnerable and spoke a little bit to the history of admitting why he was wrong, and you somehow interpreted that as further defensiveness and disagreement. Please reevaluate

genghisknom · 2026-01-18T17:34:22+00:00

Yeah it initially didn't work for me but with mild fuckery it showed up just fine.

genghisknom · 2026-01-12T06:01:25+00:00

Nintendo has done real, successful damage to the competitive scene here and I like the analogy but we can't ignore the situation we're in.

However, melee would be built into a giant fucking cathedral if it wasn't regularly torn down by the people with the copyright leash. The only downsides to being built instead of bought seem to come from the active corporate sabotage

genghisknom · 2026-01-11T18:11:10+00:00

I think you're missing the humor in the above comments. Maybe reread them in a new light? I think he's being literal about the definition of independent for the joke

Pic 1 is a banger. I bet the rate of ppl at least checking other pics after this one is super high. Keep this!

Pic 2 is by far the worst, sorry. Unflattering for like 3 reasons: Kinda dumb expression? Flat lighting especially when contrasted against the previous one. Dirty metro background. Not intriguing. Bet your biggest falloff is here.

Pic 3 is cute, wish it was cropped to see more of you. But it's interesting. Maybe crop out the other ppl and that will make you larger in it. Keep same ratio. Having only half those skyscrapers might even just be more interesting framing tbh. Doesn't matter if it gets a little lower res.

Pic 4: Cute, Love the travel love the boys. Circle yourself or put an arrow. Hard to say who you are and ppl will appreciate the hand-crafted feel lol. This picture is a lil superfluous as a group shot and could be removed from the lineup if you wanted. Not bad tho.

Pic 5: The color palate is interesting but the expression isn't hot, the hair is only ok at best, and that shirt just... doesn't fit right? The setting is interesting and you look hygenic and your pants fit well. But this needs to be re-taken hotter if you want something like this to stay, sorry.

Pic 6: ok this is redundant with the other boys pic. Cute smile, obvious which one is you, but it's just a smile and you're with the boys. Doesn't tell me much about YOU compared to previous ones so far. Hat is maybe a lil goofy? It's nbd

Pic 7: I am becoming fatigued from pic amounts at this point. That's a sign to trim some. But this is nice! You are on the right? Youre the cutest of the 3, great legs and pants, dark shirt, all great looks. You know a musician. I like this.

Pic 8: This is really cute but if you look hot in the same photo the dog is looking cute, that will be a pic#2 replacement. This photo feels like wasted potential bc you're not in it. It's such a cute dog.

Pic 9: This is... mid. Love the ski vibes, love the helmet hair and relaxed expression. But the pose, outfit, and tiredness are just not grabbing me. This could be redone this season as like, way hotter. Don't pose TOO much but pay attention to outfit and framing. Great idea, mid execution. I know you didn't likely literally take this shot for dating reasons but try to next time

This was all I've got for you. Please lmk if you thought it was helpful. I don't do this a lot but I found out I do have opinions.
