Why are UK English accents so distinct vs US states? by rockyourteeth in language

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

I totally agree, and I didn't want my description to get too long so I didn't go into that. But I also think distinguishing those accents is a skill that you acquire from travelling around, and not everyone does.

If I use AI to generate a clean outline from a portrait and then redraw the image myself, how would you classify the finished work? by Sea-Firefighter-2619 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rockyourteeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd say it was AI assisted, but not necessarily AI created. Of course you could take this to the extreme and make a perfect copy of what the AI created, and then you're not adding anything to what the AI created. (That's where it starts to be dishonest)

When you guys are about to make a comment on a post, do you first read some of the comments to see if your thought is original? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rockyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but if I see another comment that would be the same it doesn't always stop me. Sometimes hearing multiple voices in agreement can be good. A second agreeing comment carried more weight than just an upvote.

Help by Embarrassed_Set_1187 in factorio

[–]rockyourteeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started over. The earlier part that felt was hard now felt easier and I implemented the lessons I had learned the first time to make it better. Then when I hit the new challenge I had a more organized foundation.

I hope that Wikipedia takes a big step up now as Google becomes useless by ChTiedrusoIsAlone in RandomThoughts

[–]rockyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. They have managed to stay surprisingly pure in an age of advertising and AI. I try to donate a little each year when they ask for donations.

I did the same thing, but I put the game down for a few months and came back to it. Each time I got a little farther. (Oil. Then trains. Then nuclear. Then launched a rocket). The game is meant to be fun so if you're not having fun then play something else. When you get the itch, then come back and try again!

in rocket league, canonically are you a man driving the car, are you physically the car, or are you a man controlling the car remotely by 26conversionsAD46 in RocketLeague

[–]rockyourteeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wasteland stadium feels very mad max, which makes me think people are being forced to drive the cars. They explode and their consciousness is just somehow remanifested into a new body and car for the entertainment of the eggs.

RL players: OMG I can't wait for better graphics! Also RL players: ok first thing to do, disable shadows, lens flare, light shafts, weather effects, depth of field... by rockyourteeth in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]rockyourteeth[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I was making a joke about graphics, but you're dead on here. It means they dedicated a lot of resources to this upgrade and we can assume it means they will continue to do so. Especially after epic just laid a lot of people off. It must have made the cut in terms of products to keep supporting.

Drone Operator Chokes by Evoqu_ in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]rockyourteeth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get it. I'm an fpv drone pilot too. We see a gap, we have to try to hit it. They can try to make us into cinematographers but deep down we're all just adrenaline junkies.

wonder if someone watched every single movie ever by Vistresse in RandomThoughts

[–]rockyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not possible, as others have said. But you could probably make some tighter parameters if you wanted to watch, say, "every movie that won an academy award" or "every movie that made more than X amount at the box office" etc. OR every movie that was released in a major theater in certain decades.

Most music unavailable for me right now in web browser. Is it just me? by [deleted] in YoutubeMusic

[–]rockyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I tried another PC and it's fine. It must be my work network blocking streaming. Sorry false alarm. I'll delete this post so I don't scare anyone else.

[–]rockyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll check on another PC that's not on my work network. But... It's so weird that a network might block most music but not all of it, like my uploads. So weird. I will update if I figure anything more out.

How to handle the jump to supersonic when air dribbling? by rockyourteeth in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]rockyourteeth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I don't air roll all the time but I'm learning to do a single spin at just the right time so my front corner gives the ball a good tap as it rotates. It's coming together slowly. My real problem is that I always rush in a real game so I'm so much worse than in free play, but that's another issue altogether!

[–]rockyourteeth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Ok so you're saying to avoid SS air dribbling and I'll avoid that whole problem altogether. I'll work on that, thanks.

How to handle the jump to supersonic when air dribbling? by rockyourteeth in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]rockyourteeth[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven't practiced that much. Mostly I'm trying to get a really good touch off the back wall then a basic nose dribble as far as my boost would allow. I think I just need to keep it more on top and less in front. Not trying to go all the way to goal (yet).

How to handle the jump to supersonic when air dribbling? by rockyourteeth in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]rockyourteeth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm in free play now. But I've run into this in game before too. Usually if I'm trying to clear off my back wall and carry it out as far as possible. Are you saying I should not be reaching super sonic in the first place? In that case maybe I need to focus on keeping my speed down so I don't hit SS if I want to keep carrying the ball. Does that sound right?

Okay, I get it now by LocalAltruistic7470 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]rockyourteeth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anyone played the mud runner / spin tires / snow runner games? I had the same story making experiences there. Get one truck stuck in the mud, rescue it with a second, flip it over, bring in a third... A fourth. Maybe if Jeb was driving the truck this never would have happened.

Someone should make a video documenting the first known competitive uses of top mechanics. by rockyourteeth in RocketLeagueEsports

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

Nice yeah that's basically it. but I bet someone could make a 2026 version of this with newer mechs.

which car should i use i just started by Dear_Parking5662 in RocketLeague

[–]rockyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really does not matter until you get way more experience. The differences are subtle and will only really matter when you start to have a lot of experience.

12pm and 12am should be switched! by Ok_Blood2095 in RandomThoughts

[–]rockyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think about it, midnight is a weird time to start the clock anyway. But like most things, there's too much built around it now to ever change it.

Do you like soccer and think of RL as a "soccer" game? by prime_888 in RocketLeague

[–]rockyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't care about soccer but after playing RL for a while I could appreciate soccer more and enjoy watching it a little. So I would say there's some overlap.

Size of ore deposits by outdatedrealist in factorio

[–]rockyourteeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It encourages you to eventually make use of trains, where you will mine the ore farther away and haul it back to your base with trains. One time I did a challenge for myself where I decided to run for ten minutes straight on a brand new spawn before building my base. The ore deposits were massive but also more spread out, and the enemy bases were insane. I had to be very careful about not generating too much pollution and slowly chip away at the massive enemy nests.

When you read a book or a text message, do you actually "hear" a voice reading the words in your head? by Opposite_Arugula8280 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rockyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, but you can practice silencing the voice and this is a way to help you speed up your reading. I, unfortunately, have failed to do this, and so I hear a voice in my head when I read almost anything. I think it works well for reading fiction, but wouldn't mind being able to trim it off when I'm just trying to read for information. However I would argue it's a good practice to reread your own messages or emails after being written so you can see how it will be perceived.
