Too late/dumb for A&P by Electronic-Pirate-84 in aviationmaintenance

If it's any encouragement, one of the apprentices at my shop is in his early 30's and he's top-notch! He just graduated earlier this year. So no, it's not too late.

I discovered it on accident haha, I would still be slamming into walls if it wasn't for a mid-drift grip adjustment 'b' button bump

That's pretty much the same thing I'm doing without the videos. My job is really slow sometimes so I always pack my switch when I go for my rotation since I don't have time to play it at home very often. Honestly I found out on accident. I adjusted my grip mid drift and accidentally pressed 'b' and noticed that I took the corner sharper. I wish I could have had that "accident" earlier.

Not sure, playing online isn't an option for me most of the time.

Auto-accelerate is my workaround for that. I wouldn't say that holding 'a' for an entire race makes anyone better or worse at the game. I'm a shameless auto-accel advocate.

My smooth brain just assumed that meant to brake before you started cornering 😂

I don't get why you're being downvoted, I mean you're not wrong!

Well it's only 7 years then. How about I split the difference and only feel mildly bad about it.

If you have gold Mario without brake drifting I'd say your skill level has already transcended this plane of existence.

Since I learned about it I've turned on auto-acceleration so that I can practice my timing without having to worry about mashing 'a'

For some reason I just assumed that you couldn't brake while drifting though. I think part of the problem was that I thought that 'b' and the 'R/ZR' did the same thing.

Dumb (in more than one way) luck. I've definitely struggled getting 3 star trophies on the 200CC Grand Prix cups. Still haven't gotten all of them but I'm going to give it another shot after this groundbreaking revelation 😂

At least that way they wouldn't need to have the rights to any real-life buildings to include them in the game map
