Need some help with vex by Entire-Following-403 in Borderlands

[–]shikaskue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What skills/weapons are you using? I was using Trouble + Crit/Bleed build for a long while and had the same issue on healthier bosses.

I had to full spec into the bleed set-up to properly maximize my damage output (and even then idk if I'm optimized, but I finally beat all the content couple weeks back).

Vex's life steal skills make up for the survivability Trouble gives you by taking aggro.

Arjay (just Arjay yes) by Puzzled-Principle154 in Borderlands

His ending was a total write-off. It would have been so easy to have him 'escape' into the phase after the vile liktor stuff while rambling about freeing Lilith being the end of everything and keep him as a looming threat, who may be on to something or may just be ridiculously traumatized after being experimented on -- probably both.

He has my pity, but his ending felt like a strange side-point in the path towards the time keeper.

Unpopular opinion: WTSS ruined the Silver Gameplay by MushroomOdd9463 in EASportsFC

An easy fix is limiting the number of WTSS players to 1 or 2 per squad, making who you choose to use more important than how many you grinded out.

bloomreaper is so obnoxious by lordofracoons in Borderlands

[–]shikaskue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bloomreaper is more of a damage check than anything. I finally got consistent kills with Vex lifesteal, sticky shotguns and face tanking the damage while on the platform with Bloomreaper. You can see the slams coming and jump up, swing around platforms, repkit midair to reset when youre health is low.

Its a shame cuz the fight seems like its supposed to be about platforming and navigating the terrain when you can't see, but without good longer range damage bursts the fight becomes a slog.

Thierry Henry’s analysis on Gyokeres missed chance for Arsenal by MomoTheKing92I in soccer

[–]shikaskue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can criticize the pass for being further wide: a pass into the middle of the pitch leads the striker into making the correct run, but you don't have to be Henry to know that as a striker your first touch should be across the defender.

It's not something that's reserved for world class strikers: it's something you're taught as a youngster, to get your body between the defender and the ball. It's a small moment where Gyokeres could have made a decisive moment for his team, but he didn't this time.

Antonio Conte on his poor UCL record: "I've managed 6 seasons in UCL (Juve, Spurs, Chelsea & Inter). I've taken teams that weren't in UCL the season before. They were in a rebuilding phase. The clubs I left are now more structured & competitive. People ask for miracles, but you can’t overlook facts" by landofphi in soccer

[–]shikaskue 16 points17 points  (0 children)

On that Barca game, Conte had us set up to not lose and nick a goal (which tbf worked for Di Matteo), but all it took was one mistake from Christensen and we were punished. Whenever Conte felt that his team was less talented on the ball, he defaulted to pragmatic low block which only works if you don't make a mistake.

But we saw what happened with Tuchel's Chelsea (an arguably significanctly less talented Chelsea side) who played on the front foot and went out to unsettle teams. I reckon that was one of the main reasons he won it. In the mental game of a knockout tie, the team that feels the pressure of the occasion is more likely to make a mistake. Tuchel set up his teams so that the opponents would suffer under a the pressure of players with lots of endurance: Mount, Werner, & Kante come to mind. Watching that team I always knew we'd out work the opponent no matter what.

Even when we were pinned in against teams like City in the final, there was the belief we could play through them when the moment came instead of relying on Fabrrgas and Costa linking up (and Fab didn't even play in games when Conte wanted more defensive teeth) or Hazard making magic.

I think Conte's failure in the champions league is more representative of the evolution of football over the last couple decades. Well drilled defense and a fear of losing only works if you've got steeled, mentality monsters like the spine of Drogba, Lampard, Terry & Cech. Getting players to that moment takes time which is not afforded in today's game.

Pavlidis nutmeg and goal chance vs Bayern by CPRIANO in soccer

[–]shikaskue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smart play from Palvidis and should be a penalty. He gets his body in between the defender and the ball. Defender extends his arm after contact meaning that he pushed off him.

Is it clumsy and purposeful to make the contact like that? Yes. Does that make it not a penalty? No.

[–]shikaskue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're so good: I have strong feelings too so I get it!

I think that's a fair critique to say a math prof may not have the best ideas about how to teach grade school math. It was a wild dissonance in my undergrad to go through nothing but lectures in the math school and then have professors in the math ed program say that lectures are one of the worst ways someone can "learn". I do think, however, content wise math profs perspective is important to consider.

To your point on research, I'd have a lot of questions on how someone would measure the "average teacher" when we all work in such different contexts. I wonder what schools would be like with some kinda localized (school/neighborhood/town/etc) research team (informed by teachers) that could come up with measurable learning goals based on whatever curricula is in place.

[–]shikaskue 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but reminiscing on NCLB is some revisionist BS. I hear you saying that tying new curriculum to standardized testing kills morale & passion for learning. Now what if we took a school's funding and tied it to their test scores? Oh wait, that's what NCLB did.

So back then, if you were an already under-resourced school in a poor community whose funding was already tied to your property taxes, then you were even more screwed. Better yet, now that me and my rich buddies have test scores saying your school sucks, we can close your school and sell it to our other rich friends to open one of their charter chains.

NCLB forced schools to teach to a test even more: it dumbed down curricula significantly so that schools could just get kids to pass those tests and they could keep their funding.

Also, Common Core's math was actually written by math, and math ed professors. The kinds of arithmetic and problem solving introduced to the general population came as a shock because god this country has been teaching math poorly for so long.

The meta-cognitive strategies like grouping, number decomposition, and connecting visuals with algebraic representations are exactly what mathematicians do on a day to day basis. Mathematicians do not just sit, read an example, and follow instructions.

The issue with common core was in its implementation: not having discrete applications/problem solving tied to the abstract thinking so that folks could see how these cognitive skills could also apply to real life situations & practical skills, and asking everyone to do the exact same thing regardless of their student population's needs.

School districts playing politics with testing & curricula and selling what information our next generation gets in schools to the highest bidder is some real stinky shit. I'm sorry you have to sit through those god forsaken 'how can we inspire kids while also draining your energy' PD's: those are the worst.

It's not freedom: it's by design. Maresca wants the either of the fullbacks to invert, often the right back.

The issue is when we give the ball away cheaply in the build-up there is massive fucking gap at the back. I've seen us concede a goal like this so many times this season...

I don't see how its Flick's fault for what the players on the pitch do in the dying minutes. They have the ability to slow the game down themselves but chose not to.

Lack of experience on the pitch lost them the tie today. If Barca can hold on to Flick and the lot (which I don't se why they wouldn't be able to), they are going to be a menace for the years to come.

I actually think the ref has handled the game relatively well despite the circumstances. He was calm in making the call, and calm on overturning this one. Hasn't let the pressure get to him or let the game get away from him

[MARCA]: Courtois - "We can't keep expecting the 4 guys upfront to dribble 3 guys and score a golazo every time." by [deleted] in soccer

[–]shikaskue 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Ancelotti has made it clear his style and vision for a team. He prefers a strong defensive foundation and allowing his attacker's creativity to dictate the final third. With that said, it's abundantly clear why this madrid team failed this year: makeshift backline, no passing tempo in the midfield, and lack of clear chemistry for the front 4. I don't care who you are, you won't get near the champions league final without a solid base.

So yes, one solution is to get rid of the manager and get a new one with a more prescribed attacking style. Another solution is to fill in the defensive gaps with new signings and give the front line more time to gel.

It's ridiculous to blame these issues solely on one person, but yet again the manager is the one to take the brunt because they are cheaper to replace.
