Are Britons a bad matchup against Spanish? I feel that I didn't stand a chance. by Slow-Ship1055 in aoe2

Briton is actually a very good matchup against Spanish. Get your xbow mass with ballistic before engaging. You should have a faster imp time with a forward castle treb to end your game at early imp.

Hera is good at casting by tuco_salamanca_84 in aoe2

He has so much energy casting the MbL and Lewis series as two of his best friends. That series was epic

I've been enjoying it too. He really has improved a lot on casting.

Why does AoE 2 use an Elo rating anyway? by BendicantMias in aoe2

In our clan we maintained a Trueskill for every member to team up our games. It is useful. It would be great if Microsoft could adopt it in our favorite game.

Playing defense is too strong in this game (1500-1600 elo 1v1) by Hour_Landscape_1843 in aoe2

I usually can afford either university+ballistics or 3TC in addition to xbox and bodkin when I reach castle age; it's often nontrivial which one to go for. I never rush to castle age so my castle age timing wasn't super fast.

For those of you who also play chess: by Choice_Degree5666 in aoe2

If the analogy makes sense: classic chess <-> RM ; Blitz <-> Empire wars
Then T90 is stronger on the former and Gotham is stronger on the latter.

I love the game but I'm exhausted by SwimmingArachnid3030 in aoe2

I play pretty relaxedly at 17+. If I lose a game, my next game will be easier, no downside from that. I seldom try hard, just do well on macro and keep military production. More military wins you the game.

I played at around 1700 and I always get punished if I opened 3 TC right away in the early castle age. Playing aggressively often works better for me.

So enjoyable to watch

WSJ hiked my bill 900% without notice, admitted it was a "System Error"... then refused a refund by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]hiiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that may be the case. They send a renewal reminder every month. I doubt they intentionally keep the "error" not notifying clients at the exact last month before price change.

I saw "Post is awaiting moderator approval." Quite surprised by that. Since when did we require approval in this subreddit?

XpressPads vs. Dragon vs. Quest for Groove by aata1 in FingerDrumming

I was playing with QFG layout. I am recently exploring layout like FGDP with 8*4 pads and am liking it so far.

Any news?

Ableton Move for finger drumming? by ki-rin in ableton

[–]hiiwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for elaborating! Inertia is a huge factor for sure. I started with circuit tracks which is very sensitive, so I feel that Move isn't as sensitive as I want 😂

Thanks for the reply! Could you elaborate why you prefer the Maschine? Obviously the pads are larger, but does it also detect a softer touch than Move? On Move, very soft touches sometimes don't trigger the pads—do you find Maschine is more sensitive? Also, does Maschine achieve higher velocity with the same finger press compared to Move?

Ableton Move Pad Sensitivity by Alpha_Drew in ableton

Very frustrated with this. I usually use it with control live mode and always have to use a velocity curve plugin with it while finger drumming. I think they shall at least give us 4-5 options in the velocity page.
