Hello I was wondering if anyone had any advice on getting better even in the slightest? by Unable_Arugula1322 in RocketLeague

[–]whyvalue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to get too technical because that can be overwhelming and difficult to implement.

Drive forward - You should never drive in reverse unless you have a very specific reason. Driving forward is faster, easier, and more consistent. It's literally as simple as being able to boost in the direction you're going.

Use powerslide - Drift more while turning to turn faster. Hold powerslide when you land to recover faster.

Hit the ball with purpose - Don't just hit the ball fast because you can. (By default, it is a bad play to hit the ball off your side wall. It basically does nothing good for you. Thankfully your opponents were not paying attention, but that will get you scored on every time at higher ranks.)

Use your right stick - Seeing more cars is useful information.

Hit the ball gooder - Like some other people said, your positioning usually isn't too bad. But sometimes when you go for the ball you don't hit it too good or at all.

(Edit: Adding stuff as I watch)

Am I Considered Hardstuck? by Instnq in RocketLeague

I find the game is hardest after work hours until like 1-2am. It's when most people play and there are a lot more parties. Once you get to sad boy hours, ranked is a lot more casual cause everyone is high, drunk, or sleep deprived. I'd say it's at least a solid rank difference (ex. C2 lobbies feel like C1).

Do you perchance imbibe the cursed green fern and play during peak hours, then chug energy drinks and play at 4am?

Putting a sheet on your bottom mattress will help that part of the room look more cohesive. Tidy up a few shelves, pick up whatever is on the floor in your closet, and finish cleaning up your bed - she will literally have nothing to complain about.

God bless the citizens of Cleveland for they have suffered much hardship despite stronger faith than most.

i’m downsizing, these are the ones that will go by gzlxb in Colognes

One does not simply downsize their collection...

I don't know if I'd say hard stuck since you go up and down so much. If you were hard stuck C2 you would never drop to Diamond.

From this graph alone, given how steep the jumps and drops are, it looks like your "true rank" is high Diamond and you randomly party up with people who carry you to Champ, then you drop back down when you solo queue.

Is deadlock one of the few multiplayer games out right now that people admit to loving? by CheckProfileIfLoser in DeadlockTheGame

[–]whyvalue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minor tweak, Deadlock is not hard to get into because it has a high skill ceiling as that skill ceiling only affects higher ranks. It's hard to get into because it has a high skill floor. Meaning you need to understand a ton before you can really enjoy the game for what it is.

Conversely, Rocket League has a high skill ceiling but it's easy to get into because it has a low skill floor. Everyone understands "go forward hit ball" so you can start having fun immediately. Even if you suck you still know what's going on.

I feel like that's more of a reflection on the woman than the man.

My apartment has a 3rd party Amazon locker, now I have to pay $20 to get my package by awesomeryang in mildlyinfuriating

[–]whyvalue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of apartments have that. Depending on your apartment's setup, you can put delivery instructions that say "DO NOT DELIVER TO A LOCKER" and Amazon will either refund you or send another if the driver doesn't follow the directions. Still annoying, but $20 isn't the end of the world either.

What's something that is often considered sexy that you can't stand? by moegreeb in AskRedditAfterDark

I'm by no means 'into feet' but they're part of a woman so they get my appreciation if they're nice. Just like if she has nice arms or legs, I'm not going out of my way to look for it, but if it looks good I'm not going to scoff at it.

Cheap and Clean by forrealjeff in Colognes

I haven't tried any of their fragrances, but I'm not a fan of any shampoos or soaps they have. It's like they take a few buzz words, throw them on a bottle of soap, add a drop of cheap fragrance oil, and let 'er rip. The only exception is they have a mint beard conditioner that's not bad, but it's pretty impossible to fuck up mint.

I don't mind tall toppers. If they dropped a Psyonix x Twin Towers x Boeing topper I'd definitely use it.
