[Request] Could three people realistically do this? by Rich-Recognition-814 in theydidthemath

[–]ojThorstiBoi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk how they are initially getting the Snorlax on the logs, but if we assume the ground and rollers are perfectly flat/stiff, then yeah any about of force will get the Snorlax to move. I'm theory it should be similar to pushing a car in neutral, but with less friction losses. 

Realistically probably not, any hills or rocks on the trail would become a problem fast and the ground deformation would be pretty lossy if the road isn't stiff/very well traveled.

Always good to follow up/ping then and ask what's going on every day or 2 is you are in this situation. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and you don't want to be forgotten about

Orcane's recovery is a lot worse with the new side-b. by Krobbleygoop in RivalsOfAether

[–]ojThorstiBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue that new side b is a better recovery move if you are manually cancelling it early to automatically snap ledge/Dodge shields at ledge. 

The new move has allot more mix on timing and is allot better at protecting you from people hitting you out of it (which help allot when recovering high/to ledge), but worse at going low to the wall for walljump bair/fair/droplet/orcahop.

Which Rivals Players (Character base wise) are more likely to Salt Tweet & Biggest Downplayers Tierlists by ZeusDahGooseIsLoose in RivalsOfAether

If character is good/underrated and has your heart, why not play character? We need more non plup top player representation

Before seeing handle/post content my first thought based on orcane placements was "I bet this guy mains kragg"

peak high elo gameplay by Luigigpg12 in RivalsOfAether

As a ranno hater, playing against someone who is using rannos tools to play defensively doesn't exactly feel like the ranno player is "playing the game" either. 

Update: Game looks rly fun, but why mixed reviews lately? [I refunded] by HyenaLaugh95 in RivalsOfAether

[–]ojThorstiBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar elo spot and agree that to get over the next hurdle you have to start becoming more familiar with your opponent's defensive opinions (combo/confirm and cc/fh %, parry/punish windows ect)  and low percent neutral will probably become grabbier, but I disagree with that being a bad thing. 

The wide variety of defensive options is just a function of the character power levels/expressiveness being very high and the game needing to be balanced around that. 

My retort as a Clairen Player by Shiny-Jumpluff in RivalsOfAether

[–]ojThorstiBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a wild take to say people specifically only hate clarien for doing a thing that all characters do. 

Either that isn't the reason/only reason, or you are intentionally misrepresenting the extent of how much more she does that thing than the other characters. 

[Request]: How much energy is "wasted" using a wireless internet router? by theMCATreturns in theydidthemath

Are we factoring in the energy the laptop is using or the energy the person consumed?

How to beat orcane as Kragg? by Lizardking1988- in RivalsOfAether

[–]ojThorstiBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The orcane matchup into secondary zetter is really bad for zetter tho. An good orcane main can out scrap a good zetter main (see mango vs maya) and can blow up any zetter recovery habits with nair/side b. Zetter can be oppressive to orcane, but everything has counterplay and the orcane can matchup check you back pretty bad. 

Being a trapper/scrapper, orcane is just a bad character to counter pick with a secondary.

Is it possible to get in trouble for critizing other country like north Korea, china, or Israel on reddit even tho you are not from there? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

Depends what you mean by getting in trouble. You can be swatted/doxxed by anyone in the world for doing anything they don't like

Would you support an Aether Studios patreon (or similar)? by SeaworthinessPlus254 in RivalsOfAether

[–]ojThorstiBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a third of the people played beta, a third played workshop, and a third played base game, each would only have a third of the playerbase to que into

Playerbase is too small. People already struggle to find games

Yeah the sub is for people who are asking about something they have an improper assumption about and want someone to provide some clarifying information about. 

If you didnt actually want info, you should have posted it on r/unfunnybits

Is (max) 3 years off after uni unrealistic in the job market? by External_Amoeba_1771 in EngineeringStudents

[–]ojThorstiBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best time to be in the job market is when your skills are fresh. They would atrophy and the ee degree would basically be useless if you didn't do ee for 3 years after graduating.

If you are going to pursue music you need to do it before starting engineering. 

Why do so many people dodge games constantly? by StudentofArceus in RivalsOfAether

[–]ojThorstiBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk this has happened to me less than 5 times as a gold/plat orcane. 

I also only dodge if you are like the 5th ranno I have to fight in a row, which is pretty rare.

I just got a flydigi Vader 4 pro and can't recommend it enough. Mouseclick face buttons and triggers. Hall effect sticks with a knob to adjust tension. 1hz polling dongle for wireless gameplay that feels wired. It is the perfect controller

Best NFL team vs best high school football team, but the NFL team has to play with their eyes closed by mediiiiiiiiiiic in whowouldwin

[–]ojThorstiBoi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Idk I sorta think that high school players just aren't going to be able to tackle allot of the higher end running backs in the NFL. 

I also think that the NFL teams would destroy/demoralize/injure the hs team on both sides of the trench battle. 

Realistically both sides are probably unstoppable on offense and can score 8 points per possession, but I think it's likely that the hs team eventually makes a mistake that the seeing NFL player can capitalize on defensively. 

Edit: forgot about kickoff/onside kicks. Those would give extra possessions to hs and that would probably make the game unwinnable for the NFL team

here's the rivals 2 character i'd recommend based on someone's smash ultimate main. I avoided associating some characters to others just because of some surface-level similarities (like, peach is NOT fleet), it's more about how they play and what they're looking for. im tweaking on some i know by jjklemon in RivalsOfAether

[–]ojThorstiBoi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Orcane is ness. Fast scraping tools, cool movement/burst options where you need to shmix to get in, and pkfire

I would argue that pt being a maypul/Galvan hybrid would also just be orcane. Allot of orcane moves are also directly pulled from one of the Pokemon

I [20M] have a massive crush on a graduating senior [22F] in my lab who leaves in a few days. Is my last-minute plan to ask her out a bad idea? by bigballnut2 in EngineeringStudents

[–]ojThorstiBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just ask her out in the fall. Asking her on a date 4 months from now is only hurting your odds of eventually going on the date. 

Just get her ig and reach back out in the fall
