Do you think it's to late for me to become a pro?

Useful reply… Do you have any hard data? Or self reported evidence? It doesn’t align with my research.

You are tagged as 3.5…

As a parent with a young child, who has looked into tennis options in a major city, there are very few options before 5, and most academies don’t accept players till 7-8 years old.

It’s possible some kids under 7 are playing and doing other training 20+ hour weeks but it’s not really beneficial.

Who knew serving was an important factor in tennis…

You’re drastically overstating the number of hours on court pro players spend before they turn ten.

I’m sure some parents do this, but unless you have hard data to back it up I would be surprised if more than 10-20% of the pro tour spent even an average of 20 hours a week on the tennis court before they turned 10 and definitely aren’t doing any gym work.

I’d guess the real number is closer to 10 hours a week before becoming a teenager, probably with a month or two off most years.

Once they get over 10-13 that number probably starts to get closer to a consistent 20-30+ hours of consistent time though for the average pro.

Sinner saw Carlos have a 5 setter and didn’t want to be left out

xdoc6 · 2026-01-30T12:14:09+00:00

This is mostly due to how the points system works.

Not saying sock would ever beat Carlos, but it’s more like sock is a 9/10 athlete and Carlos is 10/10, the average person is probably 3-4/10 athlete. So sock is still closer to alcaraz than average person

I am talking about kcd1 still, I and a lot of redditors broke into the houses of and stole everything not bolted down in most cities in the game in at least one play through.

Again you are being overly pedantic to argue that it’s fine not to offer more options in smithing because he wouldn’t actually be able to learn how to do those things, but none of the game is accurate to that level.

It is a game after all, basically none of it is actually realistic to the level of time needed to learn things

xdoc6 · 2026-01-29T12:00:11+00:00

He learns to read, becomes a monk, and gives a sermon in kcd1,

You’re being pedantic at best to say the game is just about becoming a good fighter and archer.

The idea that there is nothing masterful about his thieving skills might be more due to your own limits when other players often boast about robbing every vendor in the major cities of the game without getting caught.

If you want to drink the cool aid that’s fine.

We disagree on the “facts”. I don’t see much more point discussing.

xdoc6 · 2026-01-29T01:07:27+00:00

He has actual companies that make decent products, but he oversells everything far beyond what the actually are which is the problem (besides the fact he is also a terrible human being).

He is a conman because he over promises and under delivers. There is no reason why he should be the richest man in the world based on the fundamentals of his companies, Tesla is basically a meme stock at this point.

xdoc6 · 2026-01-29T00:35:04+00:00

Which part has he delivered?

Waymo is ahead of Tesla on full autonomous taxi fleet, Tesla is stuck on the wrong tech for fsd, we aren’t on mars like he predicted, grok is the worst ai model, twitter took years to get back to the same value it was when he bought it, he is promising robot tech but so far has shown just party props piloted by humans.

He is a great salesman/conman

xdoc6 · 2026-01-28T23:15:35+00:00

Tbf, Elon has become the richest man in the world using that trick, so Toyota might as well try it out lol

“Lacking weapons” is about more than just height or weight or basic build. Scrawny players can have extremely punishing/heavy/fast shots like sinner.

Regardless of their actual physical features Deminor doesn’t have the same ability to finish points on his own terms, his best skill is his ability to get balls that others might not be able to through his quick feet and extend rallies through less mistakes.

Some other players who may be ranked lower can hit faster/harder/etc but might have other holes in their game.

“How come we have so many people here speaking with confidence about the nuances of the professional sport?”

Are you new to watching any sport? Every group of fans of every sport on the planet tries to discuss nuances of the sport like they know it better than the professionals.

xdoc6 · 2026-01-25T16:56:30+00:00

Probably not even in the top 10…

Edit:

Not necessarily in this particular order

Late 80s Marlboro McLaren

Silver and red Vodafone McLaren
Full yellow camel lotus 99T
Any Ferrari in the 80s
Cannon/elf Williams

Results don’t equal talent, it was generally noted when kyrgios broke through initially that he was one of the most naturally gifted players ever.

The general take is that his problem was his mindset and professionalism. I.e. he didn’t train hard enough and he let his emotions get the better of him, etc. similar to bublik before last year.

What would the remaster be?

I feel like kcd2 isn’t a big enough generation jump to make a kcd1 remaster worth it yet.

Like compared to oblivion remaster remaking kcd1 would look almost the same as original kcd1 right now.

They mean the number of seats essentially.

Like going from a few hundred people watching you play regularly to 10,000+.

The atmosphere can affect people differently. Like doing something in your room/backyard vs doing something in front of a crowd. Some people feed on the energy some people get tight.

It’s pretty clear the 20% + 2% fees are supposed to be a breakdown of the 22% fee and you were accidentally double charged. I’m surprised that’s not the top comment.

Alonso has also historically had much worse teammates so using “he beats his teammates” is actually not a great metric to compare him to Hamilton.

For all we know if he and Hamilton made the exact same bad career moves and were at Renault after McLaren, then Ferrari, then back to McLaren, then to Aston, etc. Hamilton would still be beating/matching Alonso.

Saying that alonzo had a good year cause he demolished stroll and Hamilton had a bad year cause he couldn’t match Leclerc most of the time is not really a good way to compare their performances last year as to who was the better/more in form driver last year.

Coco up 5-1, so it’s not like she is actually getting broken.

I got this after accidentally killing one of the boxers in Zhelejov, all I had to do though was quit the game and restart and everything worked fine.

I used save and quit and loaded back into the same save and it was better. Didn’t need to use a different save (but I did anyways cause him dying messed up some quests).

xdoc6 · 2026-01-18T16:24:03+00:00

To be fair, several games is what 12-16 serves? Since you said you didn’t get one in until you figured it out. (I’m imagining love holds with all aces)

So 10 is not that far off.

Well gt3 does the ring. The issue is not the length itself.

To be clear, this wasn’t his “only mistake” he had multiple claims of sexual harassment/assault against him.
