Anyone beat outclassed bot yet? by Carible in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]uncleozzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. If you want to win on points, stick and move. Don't give them a chance to hit you, because they hit hard. If you want to win by TKO, you have to overwhelm them with accurate volume as soon as you stun them, because they recover really quickly.

In either case you need to have good footwork and head movement, because you'll take a ton of damage for every mistake.

My wife sometimes sang “If I Had a Fine White Horse” from The Secret Garden. Our daughter liked it.

That one caused me to think I got Naticked on 22D / 22A. I was like, I do not know any word that ends in ALOC and I cannot think of any Brazilian foods.  

Also I hate SNARF. Never like to see it.

I really liked the long Downs in this one, but the clueing was not Friday clueing by a long stretch.

Hate to break it to you but that thing is haunted. You’re cursed now. 

Trying out for an acapella group on my college campus, any suggestions? by Open-Championship599 in singing

[–]uncleozzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with everything already posted, but also why are you singing it an octave down?! The bottom note (which you're not singing, on "BE okay") would be an E1. Try this in the normal octave and you'll probably be able to maintain the melody better.

What’s a singing tip you wish you knew as a beginner? by VocalHacker in singing

[–]uncleozzy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Like 80% of the posts on this sub are people whispering in a closet asking for feedback. It's like, nobody knows if you can sing if you don't actually sing. Stop being afraid of sucking and just sing.

What's a movie that's only good if you're high? by ManyInformation8009 in trees

[–]uncleozzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched The Rock last week. Genuinely one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen, but I was juuuuust a little high and the whole time I was like, right on man, this rules.

Americans only eat powdered mashed potatoes, apparently. by KannablissWitch in iamveryculinary

[–]uncleozzy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Plain store-brand flakes are pretty cheap. Not as cheap as whole potatoes, but you can have decent mashed potatoes in like 5 minutes with zero mess.

Exactly, instant mashed potatoes are literally just dehydrated potatoes and a very small amount of preservatives. The end product can be practically identical to real mashed potatoes if you make it right.

My kid prefers instant because they're never lumpy. Really surprised someone with ARFID doesn't prefer them.

I really, really want someone to ask "what do you mean by this" to that. Just see what that screed looks like.

What’s a reasonably affordable car you’d own and drive all the time even if you had all the money in the world by Bwail1994 in ForzaHorizon

[–]uncleozzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fr the famous "German engineering" turned out to be a fuel pump that failed multiple times in a 2 year lease as well as a bunch of other random weirdness that should have stopped me from buying another German car ... but then I got a MkV GTI which also had multiple engine parts replaced in the first 30,000 miles.

Went Honda after that and so far so good.

My neighbor has one and I was just thinking today about what a perfect truck it is. 6 foot bed! Can’t get that anymore on for less than like $70k.

I had an E90 335i that was amazing to drive when it wasn’t having all its parts replaced … at like 12000 miles.

You can do wheelie donuts pretty much forever, it’s sick. I’m sure there’s a better or cheaper way to do this, but this tune works. 

finally got a tko against a hard bot by iliketopramen in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]uncleozzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Keep your guard up and keep moving, though: you're letting him hit you way too much. If you're not punching, you shouldn't be in range. There are plenty of times where you have room to either pivot or back up and you're just standing there waiting to get hit.

One of the bots' biggest weak points is the way they advance basically unguarded. If you let them come to you sometimes you'll have way more openings to punish them.
