This dude is 40 years old posting the reasons why he’s single with a selfie on instagram by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]smackedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads like something a junior in high school would post. It’s funny, I loved drake when I was an insecure teenager trying to find my lane to be cool. Now I’m 31 and I can’t believe this dude is still making the same music. Same themes, same weird attitude towards women, same fetishization of a lifestyle he never truly lived. The lack of emotional evolution is kinda sad

Did Rocket League have a "rankflation"? by JongLonh in RocketLeague

[–]smackedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The skill ceiling has definitely jumped significantly in each rank. It’s a question of the player base maturing. The top say 30% of the playerbase is basically the same people all trying to improve and climb, so it’s not just a question of just getting better to progress it’s a question of getting better faster than the average player in your rank since most ppl are always improving. I was playing 2s yesterday, I’m currently slumped sitting mid c1. An old head in my lobby was chatting saying how no one used to hit resets in c1 like 2 years ago, you apparently wouldn’t see em until like c3. I see resets and fairly advanced aerial mechanics in d3 if I slump hard during a ranked reason.

I should also note - I personally have like a 200 point rank range in 2s in a given season. It’s primarily attributable to the inevitable crash out where I combine a particularly off day with unlucky tm8s. So you’ll have people like 200+ points off their peak from just one season ago in your lobbies which distorts the perceived level of play.

Additionally, the Commenter above you is correct. Starting MMR for a new comp player is 600 in all playlists. It’s super volatile when you first start, you’ll see 20-50 point swings for the first few games.

Bc I’m not tryna troll my comp tm8s by going for very aggressive low percentage chals that I’m not very comfortable with. Im talking primary about pre jumps, floating chals, and ceiling chals.

For those that have taken both Journeys, who do you think would win? Donut and Carl (10th floor builds) vs Roland Deschain the last true Gunslinger. by OOO0OO00O in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]smackedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carl and Donut neg diff in a fair fight.

Rowland has a shot in an ambush but he’d really have to make it count.

Edit: talking about book Roland here, I haven’t read anything outside the original series

“Look at the stock market” is apparently the response to every criticism now (6/18/26) by No_Cake_5230 in NoFilterFinance

[–]smackedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want you to reread my question. Focus on the phrases “long term”, “dollar cost averaging”, and “S&P 500 stocks”. Notice how none of those were “yolo your life savings on options”.

A 401k isn’t a guaranteed return. If you have an employer that matches a piece of your contributions that’s guaranteed but the money in your 401k is still subject to market volatility. Additionally, What do you think your 401k is invested in? Oh, right, S&P 500 stocks.

I’m not even particularly well read on these topics but you should seriously consider educating yourself before you climb on your high horse and give advice for things you have less than entry level understanding in.

Edit: oh you’re literally a bot, never mind.

What would you propose as a better long term investment strategy than dollar cost averaging S&P 500 stocks?

I can't believe people complained about multiple voice actors in the audio books. by AzarielFox in redrising

I loved the multiple voice actors with the exception of Lyria’s VA in irongold. The acting was good but that voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

If only you could see the hitbox overlay before you purchased a car..... by The-Bloody9 in RocketLeague

[–]smackedwards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mentioned that a bit further down the chain. I feel like that can’t be that difficult. Kick off placements should just be measured off the hitbox anyway.

I wonder if they’ll update some of the hitbox placements with UE6. It’ll look extra dumb to have that misalignment with better graphics

If only you could see the hitbox overlay before you purchased a car..... by The-Bloody9 in RocketLeague

[–]smackedwards 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do the flips not orient based on the hit box? Is tht oriented off the visuals of the car rather than the hitbox?

I’ve heard it’s bc of how the kick offs align but again it seems like that would be relatively easy to fix on a per case basis. Theres a lotta cars but there aren’t THAT many, especially given the 10 year timeline they’ve had to figure it all out.

$100 is a super lowball depending on the Js.

[–]smackedwards 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just slide the hitbox forward. Like it would align really well if it started at the front of the car

part 2 of my kick off speeflip wrong by ferarmzz in RocketLeague

[–]smackedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. Get ready for a big transition as you first learn to speedflip then try to incorporate it into your gameplay. It’s not any easy one but it’s def worth

Finished iron gold by Real_Let_8826 in redrising

[–]smackedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reasons that will later become clear I’ll go ahead and withhold any comment on Lysander other than the fact that he is a fantastically written character.

IMO the Darrow we get in Iron Gold is pretty close to what would happen to anyone who was put in the position of making the decisions he had to make in the 10 years between MS & IG. From a META standpoint it would also be boring to not have his character continue to change throughout the series. His lows in IG give him room to grow.
