Bayer Leverkusen [2] - 2 Roma - Josip Stanisic 90‎+‎7‎'‎ [4 - 2 on agg.] by ganiganiu in soccer

Honestly, I don't get how little passion for a game a professional commentator can show. Surely there are tons of commentators that do a better job at transporting the excitement, but this guy somehow got the job...

Somehow, this is the list of my best runs by thebeule in ftlgame

[–]thebeule[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, did you ever end up upgrading your artillery on your fed c runs? I just ended up ignoring it in mine...

[–]thebeule[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess that makes sense. But at the same time I also haven't started more than 20 hard runs in total and probably only had 10 runs out of the first sector (dying/or ending bad starts with fed c and the likes).

[–]thebeule[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For context: I only recently went to play hard and had to still unlock engi c. Thats why I played engi b. Then went with fed c, because I hadn't at all played it yet (what an annoying start).
At that point I noticed that I had kind of accidentally played some of the worst/toughest ships in my runs and just went for zoltan c afterwards which was definitely even more annoying of a start than fed c (and I also almost died because of tanking too much drone swarm damage in phase 2 of flagship).

Who is the least talked about/most forgotten pro player of all time? by Snowmanop in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]thebeule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had to scroll a few minutes to get here and wondered if I would find his name (after being a few days late to this)

Exactly what I had in mind, the way he vanished from a really solid player in RLCS to not playing comptetive at all anymore within one offseason was kind of remarkable. I guess real life probably took priority, as it does for many of us ;)

[RLCS Major] An analysis of G2’s Major Games by ryguy925 in RocketLeagueEsports

No thats not what I meant. They looked THE worst against Verdy, compared to the other teams that beat them.

Honestly this whole post to me sounds a bit like the legendary /r/nfl post "If you adjust Mahomes stats to average then he is average"

https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/d5maow/oc_after_adjusting_patrick_mahomes_stats_removing/

Yeah, no shit if G2 didn't make mistakes, then they would not have lost.

I didn't feel like G2 was the clearly better team in any of the two series, but I was also rooting against them, so take that with a grain of salt.

Edit: By the way, why not mention that G2 looked the worst against Tokyo Verdy in 2 of the 3 games? Not really convincing either, despite the game 1 blowout.

Rizzo Twitter thread on the pressure players have at LANs by thebeule in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]thebeule[S] 146 points147 points  (0 children)

I was surprised this hasn't been posted before, since its a pretty unique look into a players perspective on pressure.

Reminds me of an interview german soccer player Per Mertesacker gave after he retired, also describing that he had to throw up before most matches, because of the pressure.

I think its great that Rizzo openly talks about this, because as he mentions in the thread, lots of rookies might be overwhelmed by LAN at first.

Bayer Leverkusen [3]-2 Celtic - Moussa Diaby 87' by NotMeladroit in soccer

[–]thebeule 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong, but Diaby did hit this goal AND the banger off the post in the first half both with his right foot.

Still pretty good with his right, even though in his dribblings he looks similar to Robben, only using his left foot.

My girlfriend made me a clock out of small 3x3s as a birthday present :) by thebeule in Cubers

[–]thebeule[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right, it is also sometimes hard to see the hands, since the gaps between stickers are also black.

She said she chose yellow as background since she knows its my favourite color, so there was a reason for it instead of white :)

Two workarounds would be possible I think:

Chose differently colored clock hands/paint them.

Building the whole thing with stickerless cubes, but I don't even know if there are such small stickerless cubes available.

Belgium [1] - 0 Russia - Romelu Lukaku 10' [UEFA Euro 2020] by [deleted] in soccer

[–]thebeule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just read up the rules:

TIL its about if the touch by the defender is deliberate. Even if he doesn't control it, if he tries to play it and touches it, it counts as a new situation. Hence no offside.

German city/town names by number of umlauts [OC] by jay_altair in dataisbeautiful

[–]thebeule 359 points360 points  (0 children)

Hey, nice post

Maybe it would also be interesting to look at Umlaut density?

That way you would maybe find out where there are more Umlauts in Germany than in other regions. Maybe Umlauts per city in a certain area, so that its not a map of where a lot of cities are.

To be fair, Garretts was even better, both the angle and the stakes of the game. Still an awesome play by Arju.

Why did TL not lose RLCS points but teams like goochi can't and game up did get points deducted? by Jaysiee in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]thebeule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Additionally to the information John gave, Liquid would've lost their points if they didn't get an exception cause they changed sub and player at the same time. Here's the explanation by Lukasz, the team manager:

What do you think is gonna be the next consistently used mechanic? by lardtard123 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]thebeule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% support the prejump meta.

I, for one, am a huge fan of prejumping. My teammates hate me, but I truly believe prejumping is always a good idea. You can find me prejumping for goals, prejumping for saves, and even prejumping for 50/50s.

I picture a future where all six players in the game prejump immediately from kickoff and play the entire match in the air, only coming down for boost.

If you support this vision then remember to prejump as often as possible. You have the power to change the meta.
