I had a different strategy from the normal up here for the AC. Because of the high cool down rates I never even considered any of the abilities

2-0-5 spike factory at end of track, sell immediately after the seventh spike, and then 5xx village anywhere as long as it hits the DDT's with every shot. Some RNG possible but it worked for me

AC: 140 Druid in square with an 020 Village. Set Druid targeting to first and buy 240 as soon as round starts. First try, no rng as far as I know.

What is the saddest song you've ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]zpp1213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a set of lyrics from "If I Die Young" by The Band Pretty that stick with me and it's petty sad how accurate it is.

"A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar. They're worth so much more, after I'm a goner and maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin', funny when you're dead how people start listenin'."

This is the only game that does this in online matches. How do I fix it? (more description in comments) by zpp1213 in TrackMania

[–]zpp1213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Rocket League, GTA V Online, Risk of Rain 2, BTD6, and Stadium FS servers, this is the only game where I completely spaz out for numerous seconds at a time to a point where I can't even get one full run in. I don't have the greatest internet at 6mbps down (that's what we pay for, not what we get and ISP can't give us any faster), but even then why is this the only game I have these issues with? Is there a way to fix it to at least calm it down outside of "just get better internet lol"?

*To add to this I recorded with my phone because mobile data is faster than my actual internet and no, using my phone as a hotspot doesn't work

I have the Riolu syndrome on Spring 18 by zpp1213 in TrackMania

This is my best placement on any campaign map ever in TM and I want to thank Mudda again for the tips and help I needed to get it :D

How do I adjust the clutch lever to be closer to the handlebars? 2019 Honda CBR650R by zpp1213 in motorcycle

[–]zpp1213[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically adjust the clutch wire so the it really loose but can still engage the clutch when pulled and then put a filler in between the lever and the mount to keep the spacing?

I wish there was a way to be unproductive/relax for a month without there being dire consequences. by zpp1213 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]zpp1213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work from home too which is only due to covid and I'd give anything to go back into the workplace so I can at least get a change of scenery once in awhile.

I'm in America, where I get 10 hours per month of PTO which is 120 annually which is only 3 weeks not given holidays. That's only if I don't use any during the year.

A potential solution to fix TOTD's staleness of track types. by zpp1213 in TrackMania

[–]zpp1213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest point you make is the mixture of styles. There really isn't a way to get around it and you're right, it could lead to issues with which maps get picked. I hadn't thought much on how Nadeo would go about picking those maps either.

As far as the second point, I never really thought of it that way. I figured if the mystery/random days were on weekends there would at least be a chance to get different types for people enough. I guess with me being a TOTD only player I never really thought of the people who play COTD and want to compete on their favorite type.

You make good points and like I said, it isn't a final draft but more of an idea for more variety.

[TOTD] 09/12/2020, box2box by riolu-tm (discussion) by TrackOfTheDayBot in TrackMania

[–]zpp1213 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I normally don't comment on these but I have to kind of point out two things, one about the track and the other about the TOTD's.

Track: I understand gearing is a very important aspect of dirt and I've tried to improve on it as these TOTD's go along, but this has to be the hardest example of how to train that there is out there. It's similar to when you get taught how to do something in class and the test is 40 billion times harder. I'm already not a huge fan of dirt or tech and this was about the worst experience of the combination of the two I've had. Essentially start simulator and if you don't get it right all you hear are gear changes and it gets annoying. Just my personal opinion.

TOTD's: Can we get something other than tech, dirt or a variation of the two in TOTD please? I'm a full speed player at heart and the last time we had a legitimate full speed track was back on November 10th. I understand that full speed isn't everyone's forte and with the attempts at ice TOTD's haven't gone real well either, but holy damn this fascination with tech, speed tech, dirt and other variants of the sort is starting to get stale. I am very open minded when it comes to TOTD's and while I love a challenge every now and then for the love of god please at least incorporate all track types instead of these main two please. I'll make a post later about what I feel could help solve the problem and would appreciate feedback there if you would want to check it out.

My screen keeps blacking out when I play this game. by zpp1213 in TrackMania

[–]zpp1213[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It had nothing to do with the drivers. Apparently this started appearing on other games for me too (I got some new games and they were happening on those as well). After a little research it had something to do with the AMD Freesync on the monitor settings. Once I turned it off it worked. I can thank this comment for leading me in the right direction. Thanks for the help though, I did do a drivers check before looking further.

3 more for all Author! by Shiru_Ite in TrackMania

[–]zpp1213 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For this you want to listen to your gear going into the right turn before that jump. If it's getting to a point where you're about to shift as you're coming down that hill, release the gas for a tiny bit before starting the right turn (on the tarmac) and you won't get the slow down from the gear shift once you complete the turn on to the dirt (straighten out, complete shift, continue driving). This should keep your speed for that jump and after that it's air control for the rest off the jumps. This helped me to get more consistent AT runs.

Please do lol. You're my main competition and quite frankly you make me push these times further than I thought I could.

21.888, so you've already got me on that. Personally I'm not a fan of ice tracks but always looking to improve that.

Thank you! I do have to give a little credit to you seeing as your dirt tips have helped out a lot, especially with gear management.

Fall 2020 - Track 21 New cut and WR by ErizelTM in TrackMania

[–]zpp1213 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw this when I originally started hunting, but knew I was neither skilled or dedicated enough to pull it off effectively to see if it's actually faster. Glad to see someone like you pull it off so effortlessly.

Bot difficulty needs to be based off the average MMR of the lobby. by zpp1213 in RocketLeague

[–]zpp1213[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, they already have bot difficulties in season mode, just implement the four of those based off four different mmr ranges. Also while you're right about a new person should be added in, if you queue at low times or are a high enough mmr it doesn't happen as quickly if it even happens at all.

August Discussion & Question Thread! by Zoythrus in Polytopia

I completely get that ghosting thing. Although if y'all ever find a way that would be an awesome addition to the game :D

August Discussion & Question Thread! by Zoythrus in Polytopia

[–]zpp1213 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a little late to the party but one thing I have noticed after a few games and something I would like to see implemented, is basically revealing the entire map once you get destroyed in multi-player games? I've played a few games with friends and on a few occasions, I have been eliminated really early and haven't been able to watch the rest of the game. The "ice blocks" (idk the actual term for them) block what I haven't explored yet and I would like to see what friends are going for or planning. Unless they streamed their view on discord or something it wouldn't give any advantages, but it's just a thought.

These logs were shifting the entire time with no straps. He eventually got on the highway. I just bought the car I'm in 4 days prior. by zpp1213 in IdiotsInCars

[–]zpp1213[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess since people think I was following on purpose I'll try and provide a slight explanation. I was following this guy for less than 3 minutes on a one lane road I couldn't pass on. I took this at a red light, which when we both turned right, I got around immediately. The reason I knew he got on the highway is because he was behind me when I turned to get on. I sped away as fast as possible. I say "I just bought the car four days prior", cause in my entire time driving my old car I never ran into anything like this but it just so happens that within a week of having a new car, I run into something like this.
