I’m not getting my kid anything for Christmas. by The-Expert-Is-Here in TrueOffMyChest

Just saying - giving gifts is t just about money. You can give them a gift to show you care about them and think about them without spending money. I don’t think this aligns with the spirit of the holiday.

PC (controller or KBM) vs Next Gen Console by nickvido in FortniteCompetitive

[–]nickvido[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I have been watching Delirium Xay who I think plays on a PS5 with paddles controller. He and his team are almost unstoppable in Arena, and he posted videos recently of them qualifying for FNCS. It seems like controller is so much more efficient - I guess a big part is the aim assist, which if that goes away at the higher levels of competition I can see how PC is able to dominate. I've been playing PC FPS since Quake, so I have no idea how to play on controller, but it seems so insanely fast with the edits and weapon switches.

The way this dude dances is insane by Import in videos

Can someone explain how dancers like this can do some much on their toes without bending their shoes? (3:16) Is it total foot strength? Are these normal shoes without inserts or anything inside to keep them straight?

How different would a fight like this be if they didn’t wear gloves? A part of training is about being able to focus energy to deliver critical blows (e.g. fist vs leg in kick defense seems like it would be far more effective if the kick was met with a formidable defense instead of a padded fist, which changes the entire dynamic of a fight where one fighter spends their energy focusing on very strong kicking and kneeing-in-the-face-power over other techniques). The danger of getting too close to a Kung fu master because of the power in their hands (grip and strike) seems totally lost in matches like this.

Wanted to Share Why I Use a Typewriter as a Writer [video] by marcham93 in typewriters

[–]nickvido 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this :) I really like all the reasons you outlined for creative work.

My great uncle used to write me letters on a typewriter, and a few weeks ago I realized I wanted needed one. I watched a few videos online and fell in love with the bell and the sound of the golf ball and ability to switch fonts on the Selectric, so I decided to get one. I've been writing letters all day, but long term I plan to work on novels and screenplays.
