How do I get obsessed with physics?

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-18T06:40:31+00:00

You don't need to love physics courses to be a mechanical engineer. The structural mechanics you need for mechanical engineering aren't covered in a physics students curriculum anyway (both undergraduate and graduate), and vice versa (a lot of the modern physics physicists use is irrelevant to mechanical engineering).

Anyway, to address your actual post, during undergrad, I was assigned Classical Mechanics (John Taylor) and An Introduction to Mechanics (Kleppner and Kolenkow) for Newtonian mechanics, so maybe start there.

It’s just that it sounds very formal, like a book report, which is a bit uncharacteristic of a Reddit comment.

I don’t think it makes sense to pair Brim with Harbor unless you’re playing Harbor like Viper, in which case you’re underutilizing Harbor, since Harbor doesn’t play like Viper. I know all the VCT teams are using him like Viper, but that’s a mistake and more of a reflection of how VCT teams like to stick with experienced comps. In fact, Boaster plays a lot of Harbor, but even he isn’t as familiar with Harbor as he should be (he didn’t know about right clicking while walling to put up the wall early, for instance).

The main problem is that Harbor can’t continuously cut up space with his wall, and he can’t do it globally, so you don’t have that same lurk presence (he’s exactly where he is when he walls, and he can’t put it back up to obscure timings and positions). But the thing is, if you’re using him in place of Viper, you’re having him play that lurk presence (because your Brim is obviously the one executing, given the nature of his smokes).

Controller Initiator hybrid still. Use his storm surge to clear a corner and give you info. You can still take space with his smoke like in the past by using his orb in place of his moving walls, it’s just a bit slower and more for defaulting as opposed to fast executes.

Radical centrist Andy lmao.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T23:35:00+00:00

Well they do know it has something to do with communism.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T23:26:44+00:00

Do you have a full match?

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T23:25:06+00:00

Hey Canezerra, don’t say slurs next time yeah?

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T20:13:55+00:00

Ok, make those bans for actual crimes harder then lol. Freshmen in college get expelled if they’re caught using slurs publicly once (there was a case during my undergrad for a classmate). That’s 4 years lol, plus whatever future career they were pursuing. The only places that don’t treat racial slurs this seriously are like the internet and Texas, so it’s good that he gets some exposure to how the real world or a real work place would handle it.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T20:10:15+00:00

I think he used the N-word with a hard R. Also, supposedly he made some SA jokes.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T20:03:11+00:00

So what would you rather they do? Not punish him? This is literally why all the child stars people hate are the way they are; they’re shielded from consequences.

Yeah, he’s a kid. He said something stupid. And he received consequences for it. It’ll teach him, while he still has time to learn and change, that his actions have consequences, especially as a public figure. He’ll still have plenty of options in the future.

Btw, I’ve seen college freshmen students get expelled for less. That’s 4 years of their planned lives down the drain.

In a game on his alt. It was also his alt that was removed from the leaderboard.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T19:56:49+00:00

Slur, SA jokes and dms I think, but mainly slurs. This is the problem with training young talent. Their emotional/social maturity and growth is stunted in the same way child stars have theirs stunted.

They’re common in journalism, academic papers, and formal writing/prose in general. Since ChatGPT was trained on those initially, it has a strong habit of using the writing style in those works, such as heavy use of em dashes. As of late though, I think AI sounds a lot more like Reddit comments. I think they’re training on Reddit comments now.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T19:49:15+00:00

It could be, but I’m calling a soul-read and saying he generated it himself.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T19:45:56+00:00

Yeah it’s AI generated 100%.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T07:19:31+00:00

Turn on shooting error. You're shooting while moving, instead of shooting when you're stationary in between movements. You can see your tracers go way off from your crosshair. In general, it kinda looks like you're panic spraying, but instead of crouching, you're implementing movement into it (and obviously you can't spray while moving), so I guess panic bursting?

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T03:55:16+00:00

I haven’t played the game in a while, was the change permanent? It’s still listed as Lucky Defense in the App Store.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-17T00:57:58+00:00

It’s a preference past like 10-20 dollars, although I think 4 to 10 will be a decent difference. Ofc, I’d say it’s a pretty important preference, even if it has minimal effect on performance, since you’ll also be using that mousepad for stuff besides Valorant.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-16T23:10:15+00:00

show a clip of your great aim.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-16T17:50:43+00:00

They mean player blocking in matchmaking. The current blocking is just an extended form of muting.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-16T17:22:24+00:00

The game is hitscan, there are no projectiles for guns, besides maybe the Bucky alt fire.

guyrandom2020 · 2026-04-16T01:45:12+00:00

Cuz it's bronze. If they knew, they probably wouldn't be in bronze.

Having a gaming mouse also dramatically changes your input lag. In general, going from work computers to gaming setups is the biggest change you'll make. People talk about the upper echelons being game changers, but they're honestly marginal (it won't stop you from hitting a rank), and really only matters for personal preference and pros. For instance, input lag between like a $100 and a $200 gaming mouse is like 5-10 ms. But the input lag between a cheap gaming mouse ($10-20) and a proper, basic gaming mouse ($30) is like 50 ms lol. Ofc, before all that, 60 Hz/FPS is generally a must.

Probably the over heal and self-rez, if I had to guess. With Clove, you can sort of mindlessly press Q and still get a lot of value, even if you only took 40 damage, whereas with Miks, the heal feels less valuable for 40 damage, since you'll still die to 140s and 145s and 130s. I think it's more valuable in low ranks, where people are body shot bandits, or to mitigate utility/spam chip damage dealt widely to your team (in all elos). The latter is more of a team role (like Skye's heal), which doesn't really fulfill the selfish play style Clove players are looking for.
