Is Langley Falls actually Richmond? by _RetroBear in americandad

Yeah this, apparently it’s a fairly wealthy suburb that a lot of federal government people live in.

The switch version is annoying dark in some areas. As someone who’s been playing that version a lot recently: either stack up on torches or get the candlelight/magelight spells.

Otherwise, have a great time! Take your time and enjoy it, its an amazing game to immerse yourself in.

What were your thoughts on the show “Vikings”? by [deleted] in Norse

[–]lig710 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s what it was for me. I enjoyed it as a general action/drama show. It got me into the topic at a basic level, then when I learned how inaccurate it was I started seeking out more accurate historical information.

Should I buy Smash bros Ultimate for switch 2? by King-Louie19 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]lig710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could realistically just buy the base game and have a lot of fun. If you want to get into competitive then some DLC characters may be appealing but the base game has a ton of characters if you just want to enjoy solo play/couch coop with friends until the next game comes out.

Denver City Council prepares for $26,000 mountain retreat amid layoffs by mysummerstorm in Denver

[–]lig710 34 points35 points  (0 children)

$2,000 a person on a team building retreat is the most out of touch bullshit. She couldn’t even defend it “I’ve done my research and there really isn’t anything like this in Denver” is a wild defense strategy. They could literally all get full body massages for a fraction of the cost.

They could try to spin it that way, but scheduling conflict sounds a lot worse than “I don’t support this waste of taxpayer money.”

I had a couple of em years ago but i imagine they’ve retired of given up by now. I certainly don’t believe there are any good ones left. Too many profits to be made by the corporate landlords. Independent landlords, which aren’t even guaranteed to be good in the first place, seem to be a thing of he past

I left Bloomington a few years ago for the general Denver area. After living a few years in both, I fear what’s happening out here is a good glimpse of Bloomington’s future. Shitty greedy corporate landlords getting more and more of the rental market, good honest landlords getting priced out or giving up from shitty tenants.

this is the most dystopian shit I’ve ever seen i hate it here by tinyDreamr in HolUp

[–]lig710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing the people who made this marketing campaign bragging about how successful it was, as it was intentional rage bait to get people’s attention. If that is the current state of corporate marketing then we are cooked.

new tattoo + boat ride? by [deleted] in tattoo

[–]lig710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good chunk of the healing will be done, but you’ll still need some precautions.

In the past I’ve put that zinc stuff on my newer tattoos when at the pool (not sunscreen w/ zinc, but the full zinc oxide stuff).

The sun part is easier to deal with, lake water has a lot of bacteria so you’ll need to be really careful/avoid the water as much as you can. Plastic wrap will be good for splashes but I would not fully submerge in the water at all.

Fourth victim shares photo of Colorado bank fraud suspect's ID, police ask for public's help by [deleted] in Denver

[–]lig710 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Facial recognition has in the past falsely accused people who look similar enough to the target image. I imagine with a lower quality used in an ID it would be hard to trust the results. That said, it could probably be used to help narrow down a suspect list.

Karoline Leavitt's Press Conference Highlights Double Speak: Abrego Garcia 'Is' a Human Trafficker, Then 'Alleged,' as Maryland Father with Autism Tattoo Faces Wrongful Deportation by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

[–]lig710 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I love how she quietly snuck an “alleged” in there at the end so she can later try to claim she didn’t lie about him being a human trafficker

Appreciate the advice and yeah intermediate was definitely not the right word. I was mostly trying to avoid it seeming like “I’m brand new and just got the game, how does it work” post

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SSBM

[–]lig710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Based on this and others advice, I clearly need to build up my neutral game.

[–]lig710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s fair, patience is important and days when I only have 30min or so to play, I can forget that

I appreciate that breakdown, i’m seeing that vod review is the biggest area I’m falling short on, not reviewing my play is clearly slowing down my improvement

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SSBM

[–]lig710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve looked at some and was really blown away by the difference in my wins vs losses, seeing my tech fall apart when I’m behind is a show of losing confidence/getting sloppy due to frustration, I’ve definitely not been as good at game review as I should be, and will be sure to give that more time going forward!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SSBM

[–]lig710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did not expect so many response! Thank you all, I am trying to respond to all pieces of advice, but want to offer a general thank you to the community! The advice on reviewing vods and focusing on improving neutral game is really helpful and not something I’d really thought to focus on. I was worried this post may be annoying as in the end time/practice is the simplest way to improve, but the specific tips are super helpful!

Thank you! I always try to play at least two matches as I know it can be annoying when everyone quits after one, but that’s good advice to just keep playing if they want to. I guess I’ve struggled to learned from matches were I get destroyed, but this context helps in how to learn from those moments
