2024.05.14 19:51 Nectarine_Complex I am surprised that the authorities don't make it mandatory to constantly show your level in public
When you are walking through a street the person standing next to you could be a god tier or a low tier there is no way of knowing with just a glance. The authorities prioritize strength and giving the strong privilege so I am surprised that they don't have a rule that forces people to constantly show their level or tier. For example like some kind of badge given to high tiers and god tiers that they can wear in public to show their strength and benefit from privileges. Now don't get me wrong it is definitely a good this that they are not doing this but the question is why?

2024.05.14 19:51 BeniaminoMalthus Outline for a Tolkien-faithful "Season 1 of the Second Age"
As we are getting a trailer for a much changed version of the Second Age today, I decided I would share what a first season in a series might look like for the story of Tolkien’s Second Age, while staying very close to the timeline and characters. I’ve taken some ideas I’ve seen from other creators who have made similar attempts at this, namely Council of Rings and Tolkien Untangled, but most are my own. As of now I’m not aware of a complete outline that exists for the first season of this sort of adaptation. In any case, this outline is essentially a summary of a complete text with 10 chapters that exists but is still in progress.
I’ve split the season into 10 episodes, as I think that’s ideal, and into pairs of 3-episode arcs I call Sagas, which will cover certain time periods. But each of these sagas will more or less function like a contained story, following certain characters during periods of their lives. And each is about 3 episodes between 50-60 minutes, meaning each is the length of a long film.
I started with a compressed timeline where season 1 would take place between 1200-1600, starting with the year Annatar arrives in Ost-in-Edhil. In this timeline Tar-Aldarion would essentially switch places with Tar-Surion. I think that the actual canon timeline allows for a very interesting look at the differences in passage of time between elves, Númenoreans, and Middle Men. It's more challenging but also more rewarding. The drawbacks of the canon timeline are that Aldarion dies close to mid-season, whereas in the compressed timeline we could follow Aldarion as he ages throughout the season. Therefore the whole season takes place between SA 725 and SA 1600.
That being said, there are still a few alterations and non-canon additions. The big alteration is that Annatar steals the nine when he leaves Eregion around SA 1500, instead of when he destroys Ost-in-Edhil around SA 1695. The other non-canon additions are Middle Men characters, which there are few examples during this time period, that Annatar can begin to seduce with the Rings of Power.
This was just a bunch of fun for me, but I hope this effort will demonstrate that we can have a great story that stays faithful to Tolkien’s timeline and characters.
Sagas of the Second Age: Season 1
Saga 1 (Episodes 1-3): The Mariner (covering events from SA 725-750)
Elrond. In the first prologue scene around SA 440, Elros as an old man arrives in Mithlond to visit his brother Elrond. Elros is fulfilling a promise to Elrond to visit him when he senses death is near. The two brothers spend time together before Elros departs back for Númenor.
Aldarion. Three hundred years later around SA 725 in Númenor, Aldarion and Erendis witness the corination of his father Tar-Meneldur in Armenelos. The next day, Aldarion sets out from Númenor with his grandfather to spend a year at the court of High King Gil-galad, but he is told by Meneldur not to go beyond Mithlond. Eventually, Aldarion decides to travel outside Mithlond, against his father’s wishes. Elrond offers to join him, seeing an opportunity to spend time with his brother’s descendant. Together they discover the dwarf cities of Ered Luin, and then the future site of Vinyalondë at the mouth of the Gwathló. Aldarion discovers the that the Men of Middle-earth are not as evil as he was told by his family in Númenor, and that some even speak the same language of the Edain that he does. Elrond and Aldarion then travel to Amroth’s kingdom in Belfalas. While Amroth is showing Aldarion the black lands of Mordor in the distance, they are ambushed by orcs, and narrowly escape with their lives. Before departing back for Númenor, Aldarion says goodbye to his new friend Elrond and the High King Gil-galad. Back in Númenor, Aldarion meets Erendis again and proposes to her. She asks if he is done with his travels, he says he is, and she accepts.
High King Gil-galad. Gil-galad endeavors to heal the trauma of Middle-earth. While Aldarion is travelling the lands of Middle-earth, he goes to settle a conflict between kingdoms of Gwaithirum and Breeland. A battle ensues between these kingdoms of Men and Gil-galad is unable to stop it. Before Aldarion departs back for Númenor, Gil-galad tells him that he would very much welcome his help in mediating the conflicts of the tribes of Middle-earth, as Aldarion speaks their language. Gil-galad perceives the return of the shadow of Morgoth, and departs to discover the source.
Galadriel. By lake Evendim, Galadriel admits Celebrimbor into her company. Despite the history of their families and some initial distrust between them, they realize they have a shared vision for continuing the great works of Gondolin. Together they discover the dwarf kingdom of Kazad-dûm. Galadriel is able to convince the dwarves of the mutual benefit of their cooperation in crafting. Durin III is eventually convinced, he agrees to allow and to help with the establishment of the future capital of Eregion: Ost-in-Edhil. There the works of the Noldor and dwarves will benefit each other for many centuries.
Saga 2 (Episodes 4-6): The Stirring of Númenor (Covering events from SA 1075-1350)
Elrond. About three hundred years later in SA 1075, Elrond arrives in Númenor to see his friend, now king, Tar-Aldarion. He is also tasked to ask the Númenoreans to prepare for war, as Gil-galad is now certain of the return of the shadow of Morgoth. Tar-Aldarion, now an old man, has reached an age where he must yeild the sceptre, in the tradition of the Kings of Númenor. He decides to leave Númenor’s official response to Elrond as a decision to his sucessor. Aldarion has only had one daughter Ancalimë with Erendis, and it is clear that there has been much friction in the marriage. His sister’s son Soronto is the nearest male heir. This situation causes a conflict in Armenelos between supporters of Soronto and supporters of Ancalimë, also between those who want to heed Gil-galad's call and those who don't. Ancalimë is seen as the elf-friend, while Soronto is staunchly against the armament of Númenor. Aldarion decides to change the law succession in Númenor in favor of Ancalimë. When Ancalimë is crowned, she reverses her initial position to heed Gil-galad, and decides to preserve Númenor as a land of peace.
Galadriel. Ost-in-Edhil is a great city now, and both elves and dwarves are seen thriving. A visitor from Aman arrives who calls himself Annatar. He demonstrates himself to be akin to the Noldor in his love and expertise with crafts, and says he was a student of Aüle. He wins the favor of Celebrimbor and the Gwaith-i-Mírdain, the crafter's guild, and soon becomes the favored partner of Celebrimbor. As the friction between Galadriel and Annatar increases, Annatar moves the Gwaith-i-Mírdain turn on Galadriel. She decides to depart to Lórinand by route of Kazad-dûm with her daughter Celebrían, while Celeborn stays behid in Eregion. Galadriel is graciously welcomed in Kazad-dûm, and her relationship with the dwarves grows greater. At last, she arrives in Lórinand and meets the King Amdír.
Saga 3 (Episodes 7-9): The Rings of Power (covering events from SA 1500-1590)
Celebrimbor. More than a hundred years later, sixteen Rings of Power are forged in Ost-in-Edhil. Celebrimbor and the Gwaith-i-Mírdain agree that seven of the rings should be gifted to the dwarven kings, as a token of thanks for their help in building Ost-in-Edhil. Celebrimbor, however, decides that the rings are too dangerous for Men. Annatar and Celebrimbor have a heated disagreement on this point, and Annatar accuses Celebrimbor of withholding the bliss of Aman from Middle-earth. Annatar absconds with the remaining nine rings. Sensing that he has been deceived, Celebrimbor crafts the Three in secret. He gives two to Gil-galad, and the remaining to Galadriel, and admits that he was wrong to doubt her.
Gil-galad. Minastir, the heir of Númenor, stays in the halls of Gil-galad as Aldarion once did. Minastir meets with the descendants of the Middle Men Adlarion befriended, though many more generations have passed for them than for Minastir. Aldarion’s travels are a tale that some believe to be myth. Gil-galad and Minastir travel the lands of Eriador and mediate the conflicts of Middle Men.
Elrond. Elrond travels to Númenor for the first time in several hundred years on order of High King Gil-galad to implore once more that the Númenóreans to prepare for war. Tar-Teleprian, the second Queen of Númenor, rules in Númenor now. When Elrond arrives and presents the request of Gil-galad, there is a conflict between supporters of Ancalimë’s policy of isolation and those who believe that they should heed Gil-galad, the latter being lead by the Lord of Andunië – Silmariën’s heir. When Elrond presents further evidence that the shadow of Morgoth has returned, Tar-Teleprian ultimately decides that Númenor must prepare for war.
Annatar. Annatar begins seducing the Kings of Men and gifting rings. Annatar arrives in the halls of a Gwaithirum king called Halmir, a descendant of one of the generals of the battle in the first saga. Annatar tells Halmir that the Noldor are withholding the power of prolonged life from mortals, and gifts him a ring. As Halmir is an elf-friend, his ancestors all being loyal to High King Gil-galad, he refuses Annatar’s suggestion. Eventually, Halmir succumbs to his curiosity and doubt and puts the ring on, entering the Realm of Shadows. He perceives immediately that his decay has been slowed, and indeed that the Noldor may have deceived him.
Saga 4 (Episode 10): Orodruin (1600)
Sauron crafts the One Ring in Orodruin, and Barad-dûr, the largest fortress ever built, has been completed. We Annatar standing on at the height of Barad-dûr wearing the One, below his vast legions of orcs.
As soon as the One Ring has been crafted, Galadriel, Celebrimbor, and the others realize they have been deceived and that Annatar was in fact Sauron, and they remove their rings.
The Men who received Rings of Power from Sauron realize too late they are deceived, as they are completely subservient now to the will of Sauron.

2024.05.14 19:51 Ken6432 Volume difference between different track quality
When playing a playlist that has various quality levels of tracks, there is a large difference in the playback volume of the tracks. High quality tracks are significantly louder than the lower quality tracks. This makes listening very uncomfortable.
I would like to log a request to get this issue fixed, but I primarily listen to Tidal through my BluOS app. I am not sure which app developers to send my complaint to, though. Is this a BluOS app problem, or is this a Tidal app problem?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

2024.05.14 19:51 Commander_PonyShep The Bouncer block points question
So The Bouncer features three different stats for you to level up Sion, Volt, and Koh with, including attack power, health and defense. With defense, you have a limited amount of block you can do in this game before it breaks and you temporarily can't use it. At which point, you just have to move the left control stick to strafe around your enemies to dodge their attacks instead of block them.
However, unlike its spiritual successor, Kingdom Hearts, there are no dodge commands outside of just strafing, alone. You can't just roll, high jump, or super-glide like you would have in Kingdom Hearts 1, or dash and double jump as two additional dodging abilities in Kingdom Hearts 2 going forward.
So does The Bouncer really incentivize dodging with your limited amount of blocking, especially if you chose Koh over Sion and Volt, the latter whom I'm sure would have blocked better than dodged.

2024.05.14 19:51 Rude-Cup-8774 Jooshica double eyelid surgery
She's been talking about how traumatizing her recent double eyelid surgery was on tiktok. So I thought something horrible happened. Surgeon's knife slipped? Life threatening allergic reaction to anesthesia?
But no. She's traumatized because the anesthesia started wearing off near the end of the surgery and it HURT. (She did end up asking for more anesthesia). Isn't this super common? Happened to me all the time with dentist stuff.
Her other complaint was that she could hear everything the surgeon was doing. Which makes sense since you are awake the whole surgery (which she knew she would be).
I feel like with a little research and common sense she could've mentally prepared herself better, so I don't have much sympathy for her whining.

2024.05.14 19:51 snowlikemagic Moving out of abusive family’s place. Any advice you can give or share your experience?
Hi 👋 I was specifically looking for subReddit for Indian women, but since it has like 15 members, I thought why not this one?
So I’m a 22F who’s planning to move out of her verbally and physically abusive family’s place once I save up enough money (if things go well, it’ll be about 2 years). I’m from Delhi,india and have not seen anything other than my school and home literally. Currently I’m in 2nd year of an online business bachelor degree.
Although my main focus was Indian women, if any one here has any advice or experience relevant to my situation, I’d love to hear it. I plan to move out highly discreetly, almost like running away.
If you’re interested in more info,here’s a link to full post I wrote about the whole deal…
Thank you for sharing. Every woman whose moved out of an abusive place out into the world she was told would just commit the worst crimes against her has definitely achieved a lot. ❤️

2024.05.14 19:51 Quejayyj Season Ticket Resale Limit
Got half season tickets for the 2024 season and they told me that I could only sell up to like 30% or something like that. If I forward tickets on the MLB Ballpark app, does it count towards this limit or only through companies like StubHub (I’ve heard online)
For example, if I sell tickets on TickPick and just forward them to the buyer, does it count towards the limit?
Please let me know!

2024.05.14 19:50 thefirststarinthesky My step-dad M54 and a coworker M40ish constantly put me F27 down, both in a specific way to each of them, how can I cope with it?
I'm F27 and feel like I'm going nuts - it seems like one of these two men in my life are constantly trying to punch down on me, and I feel like I'm losing the plot as nobody else seems to care or notice, and I feel like I'm getting angry more than is healthy - even if it's normal to feel it with these situations?
For some likely important context, I was diagnosed AuDHD 6 months ago.
My stepdad M54 - he constantly corrects me and has to have the last word, no matter the topic or who of us knows more about it. As much I love him, tonight drove me to actually tell him I was over talking with him right then because he doesn't have to be the most correct person or have the last word, and he laughed. It was over ADHD meds - I was talking about how I was excited to likely finally be prescribed them next week, and it came up my little brother had a mostly unused bottle of dexamphetamine, so I jokingly said I'd love some while I wait for my own prescription, and then when my mum F51 pointed out my brother is on Vyvanse now, I said "Ah yes, legal speed, extended release", and my step-dad then went no, they're totally different compounds, a different drug and it's not speed. To try and avoid him correcting me I say yes, I know, but they're still an ADHD med and a stimulant - and I just looked it up, it looks like I was correct. Realistically, it is an ultra-minor detail that doesn't matter at all in the gist of the conversation anyway.
He corrects me often when talking about savings, politics, taxes, history, tv shows and all kinds of things - it isn't limited to minor details. He acts like I don't know things and if I try to expand my point, he has to have the last word, every. single. time.
My coworker M40ish (not exactly sure but late 30s/early 40s seems right) is also a corrector, but he generally understands things we talk about more in general; we work in banking and he loves to analyse the economy figures each month and work out exactly what those numbers mean for people going forward - I know in a general sense, he is good with specifics so I'm okay with him correcting me here only because I am usually actually a bit wrong or very wrong and he is kinder about it usually. However, he has a 2 year old, and what from the outside looks like a very unhappy marriage, and he brings that frustration to work and seems to take it out on me.
I am constantly tired due to masking at work and struggling to retain focus to work, and so I sleep a lot to make up for it - whenever we are asked in team meetings about our weekends and I say either sleeping or video games/Netflix, he rolls his eyes and has very disinterested body language, and whenever we see each other in person, about 2 days a week, any 'friendly conversation' we have is typically him being cranky and complaining about his wife or 'my kid' (never addresses his daughter by name??)...
Once in a meeting I asked a question I thought was valid about a process he was trying to find a loophole for and he slammed his hands on the table and loudly said that wouldn't work, embarrassing me in front of my whole team while the boss was away. He also did an the RADS-R (and it came back with high probability) when I posted it on the work social media as part of an awareness thing, and he told me, I suggested that while he waits for the psychiatrist to look into it, reducing things that cause him melt or shutdowns, and he said he couldn't just divorce his wife and abandon his kid, and when I said that wasn't at all what I meant and I felt he was putting words into his mouth, he acted like I attacked him. He just always seems frustrated by me, and I don't know why, or how to stop feeling like this. I do everything I can to stop my autism and ADHD affecting anyone at great personal cost, I really can't think of anything I would be doing to upset him.
Both these men do things that upset me on a regular basis, but nobody else ever seems to call it out, notice or do anything about it, and when I try to ask dad to stop it, he laughs at me and continues, and the coworker is intimidating seeing he thinks he's smarter than me, and is more than willing to act it. Is there anything I can do to stop feeling so frustrated by either of them? avoiding them isn't an option, nor is cutting them off or any other drastic measures.
TLDR; step dad corrects me all the time on all kinds of minor details and has to have the last word always, coworker seems constantly frustrated by me - need coping strategies to not be constantly upset with one or both of them.

2024.05.14 19:50 Isanakoona Best Exercise to Get Over the Thoughts of Your Ex
This is a natural part of the healing process, but no matter where you are emotionally, this exercise will be immensely helpful in preventing you from over-idealizing your ex and plugging you back into reality. like “I miss him/her”, “I love him/her” or “I wish he/she was here”.
This is a natural part of the healing process, but no matter where you are emotionally, this exercise will be immensely helpful, it’s easy, and it will give you a more balanced view of the relationship you had.
I invite you to take a list of 5-10 overly positive/idealistic thoughts about your ex and do the turnarounds by adding a “but” to the thought and saying something contrary to your initial thought which is either just as if not more true to you.
Here is a list of mine:
Trust me this helps a lot. You will instantly feel the shift. Just be consistent.
Also, adopt healthy habits like working out, gardening, reading, caring for pets, focusing on a career etc.
Good Luck!

This is a natural part of the healing process, but no matter where you are emotionally, this exercise will be immensely helpful, it’s easy, and it will give you a more balanced view of the relationship you had.
This is how the exercise works:
Basically, when you have a thought like “I really miss [insert ex’s name]” you must create a counter thought like “…but I don’t really miss how negatively he talked about other people” and add it to the sentence.I invite you to take a list of 5-10 overly positive/idealistic thoughts about your ex and do the turnarounds by adding a “but” to the thought and saying something contrary to your initial thought which is either just as if not more true to you.
Here is a list of mine:
- She was so attractive, but when I was with her, I often had a hard time being sexually attracted to her and the sex was mediocre at best.
- She was so smart, but she didn’t really do anything that positive with her abilities for herself, for me, or for our relationship.
- She was so funny, but she was also mean-spirited sometimes and put other people down in her jokes to lift herself up.
- She was so great at the beginning of our relationship, but that wasn’t really who she was and she was pretty shitty in the end.
- I love her, but I don’t love how passive-aggressive she is and her terrible communication skills.
- I miss her, but I don’t miss our pointless arguments that were never about the actual issue, her gaslighting, or how condescending she was.
- I wish she was here, but I only want her as the version that she pretended to be in the beginning, and that person doesn’t exist.
- She used to do so many thoughtful things, but that was only when she didn’t have my validation yet and wanted to achieve her goal of getting my commitment. She also secretly hated doing many of those things.
- She wrote such beautiful love notes, but that was only 3 months in when she idealized me and she barely knew me.
- It was nice to have her around, but not when there was extreme tension which became frequent towards the end.
Trust me this helps a lot. You will instantly feel the shift. Just be consistent.
Also, adopt healthy habits like working out, gardening, reading, caring for pets, focusing on a career etc.
Good Luck!

2024.05.14 19:50 real_logancantspell sonic.exe (good edition)
I’m a total Sonic the Hedgehog fan much like everyone else. I like the newer games, but I don’t mind playing the classics. I don’t think I’ve ever played glitchy or hacked games before, though I don’t think I want to play any after the experience I had…
It started on a nice summer afternoon. I was playing Sonic Unleashed (I liked how you get to explore the towns in it) until I noticed, out of my peripheral vision, that the mailman had arrived and put something in my mailbox as usual and left. I paused my game to go see what I got in the mail. The only thing in the Mailbox was a CD case for computers and a note. I took it inside.
I looked at the note first and realized it was from my dear friend Kyle (let’s just call him that), whom I hadn’t heard from in 2 weeks. I know that because I recognized his handwriting, though what was weird is how it looked; it looked badly written and scratchy and somewhat difficult to read, as if Kyle was having a hard time writing it down and did it in a hurry.
This is what he wrote:
"I can’t take it anymore, I had to get rid of this thing somehow before it was too late, and I was hoping you’d do it for me. I can’t do it, he’s after me, and if you don’t destroy this CD, he’ll come after you too, he’s too fast for me…. Please Tom, destroy this god-forsaken disc before he comes after you too, it’s too late for me. Destroy the disc, and you’ll destroy him, but do it quick otherwise he’ll catch you. Don’t even play the game, it’s what he wants, just destroy it."
So I destroyed the CD.

2024.05.14 19:50 Infamous_Ad_1076 AITAH For working/doing chores?
So I (M34) am married (F33) with two kids and a FT job (hospital associate director), I work 4 days a week and have 3 off but very flexible hours. I normally cook, clean the house, do the laundry, go grocery shopping, manage the finances, do landscaping, pest control, fix/repair the house, work on the vehicles and help with the kids (feeding breakfast/lunch/dinner, getting ready for school, taking to school, picking them up, after school activities etc). I have help with my mom who helps when i'm late at work but only on occasions because she can spend time with them and spoil them (smh). Its been like this for 8 years and I really honestly never really gave it much thought. Normally, in the evenings my wife will cuddle with me on the couch and we will watch some tv togethetalk etc before bed (we also go out of the lake on the weekends and hike/mountain bike).
This morning I got up like i normally do around 5am and started to get things prepped for the kids and getting their lunches ready. My wife was getting ready for work (she normally gets up a little early to workout, something new she has started), so i got coffee and just waited for her to finish in the kitchen. Once she was done I got the lunches ready for the boys and she kept looking at me like something was wrong, I looked over and asked "whats up, is everything thing okay?" She looks at me and starts to tell me that she feels like I do to much and that she feels lazy. I didn't say anything because I wanted her to tell me what she was thinking, she went on to say that she wanted to divide up the chores more and help out because she wasn't in school anymore and was working and wanted to help. I said fine and started telling her all the things i did and the list of chores I had (i use a notes app) and shared it with her. She started going thru the list and said it was crazy long and that she didn't believe that I was doing all this!
I got upset and just finished making breakfast for the boys while she kept going thru the list, boys got up, i fed them, then got them ready for school and took them to school. Its Friday evening and I am making dinner and she on her phone going thru the list again and asks when the last time I cleaned the toilets. I told her this past sunday, she got upset and said I was lying because the toilets were dirty in the kids bathroom!!??? At this point I just look at her trying not to blow my head off and say calmly that the boys are messy and we both taught them how to use the bathroom but they are just messy/learning and it takes time. Hence the cleaning schedule, they are young (4 and 6), and do the best they can for that age (i'm proud of how well our boys behave and do their best). She then just rolls her eyes at me and goes to the couch to watch tv.
Come Monday, the boys are at school and we are both off so I'm outside doing tree trimming and trying to keep our 3-4ish acres looking somewhat decent (i'm not the best but i'm learning and slowly getting better). I come inside for some more water and she is painting. She said she needs to leave soon and made an appointment to get her nails done. I said no problem and went to give her a kiss goodbye before she left. I asked her what she wanted for dinner as she was heading out the door. She immediately, started screaming at me calling me an asshole for making her feel so lazy???!! She then went on to calling a me lying AH and trying to make her do more chores than me??? I told her i love her and i didnt want to do any of this and am happy to divide the chores however she wants or I can do them myself (honestly, its been 8 years, i dont know whats going on) she left for her nail appointment and has refused to talk to me. I spent the last two nights on the couch because she doesn't want me in the bedroom. I'm somewhat lost about what the heck is going on?? i feel like i'm being punished for working too hard? or lying that i'm working to hard?

2024.05.14 19:50 StyrofoamTuph I recorded 100 instances of FF voting in my games to show how habitual forfeiting in RL is a problem. Here are the results
Hey all, at least once a day there seems to be a post in this subreddit complaining about the quality of matches or teammates. In those posts there seems to be a split on whether or not there is a problem or player behavior is justified. I'm going to leave most of my opinions at the end of this post, but from my point of view it's obvious that there is a problem that is clearly illustrated by how often players choose to forfeit, but most players are unwilling or even mentally blocking themselves from the idea that they might be part of the problem. I had already taken up note taking in video games as I played Dark Souls for the first time, so I decided to continue this when I came back to Rocket League and record stats and tallies by hand of instances when my teammates vote to forfeit.
For context, all of these matches were in the 3v3 competitive playlist from the Diamond 1 to Diamond 2 range. I wanted to come up with a system that made it easy to record quickly during games, so I kept tallies of the basic stats in the first table, and in terms of forfeiting I recorded the time of the first vote, the score, and notes (things I wanted to keep track of but ultimately didn't deserve their own tallies). Right off the bat we can see that it only took 311 matches for me to reach 100 instances of forfeiture, this means almost one third of my games are going to include a teammate forfeiting. Out of those 100 times where a teammate voted to forfeit, 34 times also included the teammate idling or hard throwing. That means almost 1 out of every 9 matches I played was ruined solely by someone on my team not playing the game as intended. It's also extremely important to note that I only recorded instances of this happening on my team. I'm making the assumption that all of this happens at a slightly higher rate on the other team because I personally don't vote to forfeit or throw my matches.
Here are the results of what I recorded:
As an information dump, here are some of the statistics I found interesting with these instances of forfeiting.
I'm pretty terrible when it comes to Excel/Google Sheets, but if anyone wants to mess around with this data set to find any other cool stats I'd be very interested.
My Thoughts
My original purpose when I started to keep track of my games was to try and prove that most games when my teammates vote to forfeit are still winnable, but I no longer feel that is the case, although for different reasons than I expected. Now, I feel like a lot of matches are lost the moment my teammate voted to forfeit either because of the idling/hard throwing, or because of what I perceive as passive throwing by my teammates. I never recorded "passive throwing" because there isn't a reliable way to do so, but a lot of the time it feels like certain players are mentally out of the game once they've hit that vote to forfeit button. Those players make a habit out of forfeiting, which causes them to lose the ability to see a path to victory in matches that are winnable (example: 4-1 with 1:30 on the clock), and this creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where a large portion of the player population just doesn't see the value in playing matches where they are more likely to lose than win.
I don't expect most people to have the self-awareness to realize the self fulfilling prophecy they've created, which is why I believe something has to be done to restrict or remove players ability to forfeit in competitive and tournament playlists. Personally, I never plan on forfeiting and I don't want to know when my teammates have voted for it. Why isn't there an option for me to disable the "vote to forfeit" text on my HUD just like people do with quick chat? Additionally, I think one good idea would be to only allow players the ability to initiate a vote a certain number of times per day, and disable the option entirely in tournaments. I didn't record my tournament games on paper, but several times my team would win 3-4 games, go down by 2 goals in the next game, and then one of my teammates votes to ff and checks out of the game. It's ridiculous that this kind of thing happens so regularly in game modes that are advertised as "competitive". I don't want to pretend like I know the perfect solution, I just think in the game's current state it is far too easy for players to give up, and barriers need to be put in place to keep games competitive, therefore something has to change.
I know a lot of people will believe players will act this way even if forfeiting wasn't an option, but I think the option of an easy way out affects mentally weak players' gameplay in matches where they are losing. I played Overwatch for many years, a game where matches are much longer and forfeiting is not an option. That game can be toxic as hell, but I've never seen the amount of throwing or giving up in Overwatch that I do in Rocket League. Even when Blizzard was having problems with people leaving quickplay matches after one lost fight, I rarely saw people stop trying in competitive matches just because they got their ass kicked in round 1. In Overwatch, there was a sense of commitment once you got into a competitive match that straight up doesn't exist in Rocket League. I believe the fact that forfeiting has never been an option in Overwatch and always an option in Rocket League has contributed to how willing players are to give up in these respective games. To me, there really isn't ever a good reason to forfeit in RL, but there are still instances that are more ridiculous than others. 22 times my team voted to forfeit with under 30 seconds on the clock, and 18 of those times the deficit was 2 goals or less. Why wouldn't you play out 30 seconds or less just to see if you can get 2 goals? The worst that can happen is it takes you less than 30 seconds to get into a new game, in the best case you might be able to get a goal at the kickoff and then a 0 second goal to go to OT. Yet so many players in this community would rather deny themselves an opportunity for something amazing just because it isn't likely to happen, even when the time cost is absolutely minimal.
I hope that this post inspires some discussion and helps players realize how detrimental habitual forfeiting is in modes that want to call themselves "competitive". I also want to tell the players who want to play out every game that you don't owe anyone on either team a forfeit if you don't want to. I know a lot of people feel pressured when someone tells them to forfeit or when they see 2 teammates vote for it, but any reason you want to play out a game is valid, even if you're getting destroyed 10-0 and just want to get one goal. 5 minutes + replays is not an unreasonable time commitment and if anyone tries to pressure you into forfeiting, they aren't worth considering. I hope this can change in the future, because I want to be put on teams that want to try and overcome a 3 goal deficit, and I want to play against teams the make me fight to hold a 3 goal lead. Instead we have a community that is hyper focused on trying to determine when a match isn't worth effort anymore, and competitive playlists and tournaments have suffered because of it. This makes me sad because Rocket League is so simple and elegant that I consider it to be one of the best multiplayer games ever made, but this community-created problem is big enough where it makes me want to play other games.
TL;DR Habitual forfeiting is a major problem in Rocket League, and I hope we can actually have an honest conversation about it

For context, all of these matches were in the 3v3 competitive playlist from the Diamond 1 to Diamond 2 range. I wanted to come up with a system that made it easy to record quickly during games, so I kept tallies of the basic stats in the first table, and in terms of forfeiting I recorded the time of the first vote, the score, and notes (things I wanted to keep track of but ultimately didn't deserve their own tallies). Right off the bat we can see that it only took 311 matches for me to reach 100 instances of forfeiture, this means almost one third of my games are going to include a teammate forfeiting. Out of those 100 times where a teammate voted to forfeit, 34 times also included the teammate idling or hard throwing. That means almost 1 out of every 9 matches I played was ruined solely by someone on my team not playing the game as intended. It's also extremely important to note that I only recorded instances of this happening on my team. I'm making the assumption that all of this happens at a slightly higher rate on the other team because I personally don't vote to forfeit or throw my matches.
Here are the results of what I recorded:
| Games played | Wins | Losses | Vote to ff? | idle or hard throw? | OTW (includes W) | OTL (includes L) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 311 | 153 | 158 | 100 | 34 | 31 | 27 |

| 100 | 1:38 | 3-0 |
As an information dump, here are some of the statistics I found interesting with these instances of forfeiting.
- The median time when forfeits were first voted on was 1:25.5 left on the clock. 34 times there were 2 or more minutes left, and 10 times there were 3 or more minutes left
- 60 votes occurred with a 2 goal or less deficit, an additional 15 votes occurred at a 3 goal deficit
- 18 votes occurred with 15 seconds or less on the clock. 4 times the deficit was 1 goal, 11 times the deficit was 2, and one vote occurred in a tie game
- 19 votes occurred with between 30 seconds and 1 minute on the clock, 16 of those votes were a 2 goal or less deficit
- 27 votes occurred with between 1 and 2 minutes left on the clock, 11 times the deficit was 2 or less, 11 more times the deficit was exactly 3
- 44 votes occurred while my team was getting shut out
- 10 matches with votes were won, but this includes the only "joke" ff, 2 games where we were leading and 7 when we were tied. In other words, every game where I was losing at the moment and a teammate voted to ff was lost
- 10 votes happened as the other team tied the game, we lost 3 (see above)
I'm pretty terrible when it comes to Excel/Google Sheets, but if anyone wants to mess around with this data set to find any other cool stats I'd be very interested.
My Thoughts
My original purpose when I started to keep track of my games was to try and prove that most games when my teammates vote to forfeit are still winnable, but I no longer feel that is the case, although for different reasons than I expected. Now, I feel like a lot of matches are lost the moment my teammate voted to forfeit either because of the idling/hard throwing, or because of what I perceive as passive throwing by my teammates. I never recorded "passive throwing" because there isn't a reliable way to do so, but a lot of the time it feels like certain players are mentally out of the game once they've hit that vote to forfeit button. Those players make a habit out of forfeiting, which causes them to lose the ability to see a path to victory in matches that are winnable (example: 4-1 with 1:30 on the clock), and this creates a self-fulfilling prophecy where a large portion of the player population just doesn't see the value in playing matches where they are more likely to lose than win.
I don't expect most people to have the self-awareness to realize the self fulfilling prophecy they've created, which is why I believe something has to be done to restrict or remove players ability to forfeit in competitive and tournament playlists. Personally, I never plan on forfeiting and I don't want to know when my teammates have voted for it. Why isn't there an option for me to disable the "vote to forfeit" text on my HUD just like people do with quick chat? Additionally, I think one good idea would be to only allow players the ability to initiate a vote a certain number of times per day, and disable the option entirely in tournaments. I didn't record my tournament games on paper, but several times my team would win 3-4 games, go down by 2 goals in the next game, and then one of my teammates votes to ff and checks out of the game. It's ridiculous that this kind of thing happens so regularly in game modes that are advertised as "competitive". I don't want to pretend like I know the perfect solution, I just think in the game's current state it is far too easy for players to give up, and barriers need to be put in place to keep games competitive, therefore something has to change.
I know a lot of people will believe players will act this way even if forfeiting wasn't an option, but I think the option of an easy way out affects mentally weak players' gameplay in matches where they are losing.

In Overwatch, there was a sense of commitment once you got into a competitive match that straight up doesn't exist in Rocket League.

2024.05.14 19:50 DrugstoreCowboy01 Anxiety after breakup
I’m struggling with anxiety after a recent breakup, and I could really use some advice and support.
It’s been really tough for me to sleep normally, and my appetite has decreased significantly since the breakup. This person meant a lot to me, and it’s been difficult to imagine finding someone else like them.
I know that breakups can be really challenging, especially when you feel like you’ve lost someone special. I’ve been trying to focus on self-care and doing things that bring me joy, like hanging out with friends, working on my hobbies, but it’s been a struggle to manage my anxiety. If anyone has been through something similar or has any tips, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Whether it’s techniques for improving sleep, ways to boost my appetite, or just words of encouragement, anything would be helpful right now.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.

2024.05.14 19:50 oreosaregud 20 [M4F] USA/Online - Just a quiet dude with simple hobbies
I've started gardening recently. I planted seeds about two days ago. They're a mix of flowers and vegetables so it'll be nice to see how they grow. I have some photos from last year if you're interested
I also like to bake and occasionally cook. Usually I bake something every few weeks and I'm only an ok enough cook to be able to feed myself. The last thing I baked was cardamom buns and they came out wonderfully.
Sometimes I share photos because it's fun showing other parts of life with others. Also it's fun learning about other peoples lives since its nice to know and care about others.
I'm gentle, kind, and do my best to be supportive. I'm the opposite of intimidating haha. I'm 5'9", brown eyed, black hair, and chubby.
If you're interested shoot me a dm and tell me a bit about yourself. Like hobbies, your likes, what you do
Nice to meet ya

2024.05.14 19:50 AnythingButRO Stranded at Sea (Need some advice)
Hey everyone! I wanted to post this question in a sailing/ship sub of some sort but it is unbelievably hard to find one that isn't based on either modern boating or has a heavy focus on the existence of pirates. That being said, I'm taking my chances that someone here might know a thing or two about medieval era ships.
I'm planning a seafaring campaign and I'm starting my party out on a ship (galleon or larger) that's transferring them to some Alcatraz equivalent. They will shipwreck for [reasons] and end up marooned on an (allegedly) uninhabited island. My plan for them to leave (provided they don't come up with their own sensible ideas) is to have some of the surviving crew scrapping the transport ship to make a keelboat of some sort. Definitely not good, but a better starting ship and much more seaworthy than a raft or a makeshift canoe, haha.
Is it even possible to do something like that without a shipyard? Or at all? I admittedly am not well-versed on how keels work, I just know that if they are broken, your ship's likely done for. I legitimately have no idea if you can just salvage a segment of a keel and slap it on a new, smaller sailing ship. If it is possible, how much time would that take, roughly? I imagine it might take a month for a smallish crew to do something like that even if they have the proper tools and some minor magic at their disposal. I of course say I don't want my level one PCs fighting some hardened sailors/guards strong enough to magic a ship together in one go if they fail or decide against stealth, haha. That, and magic is slowly dying in my world so casters are a bit on the rare side.
I know this is a really silly ask but I do like some minor realism in my games when possible. If anyone has any better ideas/potential alternatives for getting off the island that wouldn't be super farfetched, I'd also love to hear them!
PS: If anyone has a source of free maps with some islands/general sea locales, I'd love if they shared them!

2024.05.14 19:50 Character_Air_8660 Since WHEN does driving a white vehicle mean you're a MILLIONAIRE???...
With the exception of the brothers' green Toyota Tacoma TRD Crew Cab and their old Subaru CrossTrek Limited(and Gentry's blue Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 passenger van), every family vehicle has been white...
Where did Betsy get this harebrained idea that white means 🤑$🤑$🤑$???...
She's NOT Lisa Vanderpump(or Donald Trump, thank goodness) in any manner!!!...
And forcing the brothers to trade in their CrossTrek Limited for the 4Runner just because it's white(and upsetting their godfather[?]/Gentry's childhood friend/general sales manager at Nate Wade Subaru Brock Kassing)😒🤦☹...
Totally "delulu", Betsy...
Remember, just before they moved to Tennessee, Gentry tried to force the brothers to buy a white Chevy Colorado ZR1 4x4 to replace the CrossTrek Limited, but Brock put his foot down and said "NO!"...
After the move, he drove them to Toyota of Franklin to buy what HE thought they wanted:a new Tundra TRD Pro Crew Cab, but they fell in love with the Tacoma TRD Pro...
He HATED it BECAUSE it's "Army Green Metallic" instead of white...
"How will THAT look in public???...your mom's social media image will be ruined by this POC!!!"...but eventually, he learned that "saving face" doesn't matter in McMinnville...plus it ran great, had decent gas mileage, so a few months ago, he bought a Tundra TRD Pro Crew Cab...
Sounds like something out of AsianParentStories...
Really, it's not like Henry Ford and his Model T:"you can have any color, as long as it's black"...
🤦🙄...

2024.05.14 19:50 Timely-Worldliness-3 I just needed a little compromise - an unsent letter to my ex
I know it was your first relationship. At 28, you had already been through so much, having been on your own for 13 years. You were forced to grow up too fast, and had to prioritize yourself, building a life from nothing. I get it. It was your fierce independence that made me fall for you in the first place.
I always knew that trying to build a life with you was going to be a struggle. I thought it would be worth it, for both of us. You deserve to have someone in your corner, that always has your back. You shouldn’t have to be alone. I don’t know if you believed the same.
I think I gave up too much of myself for you. Was that my mistake or yours? Did you really ask for too much, or did I give too freely without expectation for anything in return? Maybe both. Probably more on me. I’m not perfect by a long shot.
Compromise. It really does all come down to that. I tried to show you its importance, but in the process I ended up being the only one willing to do it. Me getting to pick what movie we watched or getting to plan a date became something I only got to do on special occasions. You said you felt like you didn’t know me, but so many times in so many ways I offered up little pieces of me to you. I share myself by sharing the things I love with the people I love. But more and more towards the end, all you’d say was “no”. Ignoring any context. Ignoring those pieces of me.
I know you don’t like movies about kids. I know asking to watch Home Alone during Christmas was a big ask. But it was a tradition that I shared with my dad, who I lost just over a year before. I know you think that traditions are pointless, but it was important to me. My earliest memories are of that. I needed to continue on, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it alone. I needed you there, your support. It was such a small gesture I was asking of you, but all I got was “no”. Instead we watched a movie you picked: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. A movie made by the exact same people that made Home Alone, and with even more kids.
We wanted to go to Ireland. Personally I’ve been wanting to go for years, but couldn’t because of my dad’s illness along with everything else going on. You knew that in the last 3 years I lost all of my grandparents, two uncles, my dad. I couldn’t risk going so far away for so long while everyone was sick. My mom saw me giving up the latter half of my 20s for my family, when she was hoping I would be enjoying life and seeing the world. That’s why she was happy to give us the money to have the trip of our dreams. I explained all of this to you while you were struggling to find a way to save for the trip. All my mom wanted in return was a single nice photo of us. That wasn’t even a requirement for the money. She just wanted to see me with the person that I love making our dreams come true. I know you hate having your picture taken. The only attention your dad ever gave you was when he wanted to test a new camera. It’s a trauma trigger. But I was only asking for one picture. You’d compromise for your friends, you’d compromise for your sister. You’d take pictures with them. Why wouldn’t you compromise for your partner, and the other most important person in your partners life? After a year, we have 3 pictures together, none of which are very good. I know that I was asking for a lot, but I felt so less important than everyone else in your life. Maybe you felt that as your partner, I was to be held to a higher standard? I honestly don’t know. All you said was “no”.
You admitted yourself I was so supportive. I always prioritized you. From always making your tea before mine, to giving you the better looking plate at dinner, to planting all of your favorite flowers in my garden. I always complemented you, how smart you are, how beautiful you are, how driven and independent you are. Your friend needed a ride to a 5k and someone to cheer them on? I was there. You needed someone to drive you around while your car was in the shop for 2 months? No problem. Accidentally overdrew your account again, and you couldn’t afford the late fees? Here’s $50. Need to move on short notice? I’m the guy tearing apart and moving your furniture. You have a migraine so bad you can’t eat? I’m bringing you pedialyte and sleeping on your couch, even though I didn’t actually get any sleep. I learned all your rituals so not to trigger your OCD. There are countless other examples. I never said no. I never complained. You rarely said so much as “thank you”.
The big one. The thing that ended us. You’re right, we did sit down like adults time and time again and talked things out. You said you needed me to anticipate your needs. You’d get overwhelmed, and couldn’t articulate what you needed from me. You couldn’t stand being asked what you needed. You just needed me to start helping. “Mental loads” and all that. I took that to heart. But I’m not perfect. Sometimes I’d miss the mark. Tried to support you, but in the wrong way. Even in my failures I showed effort, but you never seemed to see that. You only focused on how I failed.
We recognized that this was a problem caused by both of us. The communication wasn’t getting through. But I had already adapted to your communication style as much as I could. My exited, rambling, almost impulsive way of generating ideas became slow, methodical, thoughtful. I put intention behind everything so not to overwhelm you. I learned not to jump at the obvious solution.
Yes, we sat down like adults and talked things over time and time again. You told me what you needed from me, but I also told you what I needed from you. If I was missing the mark, please just guide me to what you needed. I’m not a mind reader. I did it for you all the time. You were honestly awful at anticipating my needs too. If I was venting, had a bad day, all you’d say was “I’m sorry”, and pat me on the back like a puppy. No effort to dig deeper. No words of support or encouragement. So I had to show you how I needed support. I just needed you to do the same for me. “No”. Again.
One final time, I sent you words of support when you were having a bad day. It wasn’t enough, you wanted more. A phone call? For me to come over so you could vent in person? Did you actually want me to directly help for once? I don’t know. You never told me. Instead of guiding me to what you needed, you immediately shut down. Full silent treatment. I’ve been in abusive relationships where the silent treatment was welded as a weapon. I know you didn’t mean it in an abusive way, you were just overwhelmed again. But I never expected it from you. I didn’t see it for what it was. I only ever asked one thing from you to save us. I put in the work, got us 80% of the way there. I knew I couldn’t bridge the gap on my own. I wasn’t even asking you to put in effort on my behalf, it was for your benefit. I begged you time and time again for help. To communicate. Not to put it all on me, because I couldn’t do it on my own. But instead, you did the opposite.
You said that you felt like you were putting more effort into the relationship than I was. I’m sorry, but I can’t see that effort. I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I can’t. Maybe you mean you put effort into forgiving me every time I messed up? Maybe you mean that you were always planning dates, always picking what we watched, where we went, what we ate, what we drank? Again, mental loads and such. But I had things that I wanted to do and share with you that you always turned down. You only had to plan everything after my plans were rejected. It would have been more efficient for you to show love, patience, and compromise. Maybe we would have worked out then.
But then you left.

I always knew that trying to build a life with you was going to be a struggle. I thought it would be worth it, for both of us. You deserve to have someone in your corner, that always has your back. You shouldn’t have to be alone. I don’t know if you believed the same.
I think I gave up too much of myself for you. Was that my mistake or yours? Did you really ask for too much, or did I give too freely without expectation for anything in return? Maybe both. Probably more on me. I’m not perfect by a long shot.
Compromise. It really does all come down to that. I tried to show you its importance, but in the process I ended up being the only one willing to do it. Me getting to pick what movie we watched or getting to plan a date became something I only got to do on special occasions. You said you felt like you didn’t know me, but so many times in so many ways I offered up little pieces of me to you. I share myself by sharing the things I love with the people I love. But more and more towards the end, all you’d say was “no”. Ignoring any context. Ignoring those pieces of me.

2024.05.14 19:50 Defiant-Tomatillo851 What makes Socal so unique in real estate market?
Why Socal is always different? Low inventory and population influx high demand? Almost feel like you don't need to maintain your place well to sell since there will be always buyers trying to over bid and buy as is regardless of interior condition(as long as it's in a decent neighborhood, doesnt have to be good good neighborhood)

2024.05.14 19:50 Imaginary_Archer4628 Has anyone on this subreddit ever gamified their life using collected data?
Hi,
so you measure the data from your life and have it collected somehere: some app, spreadsheet.
Are you doing something more with this data? Or just seeing visually data is exactly what you want, it boosts your motivation etc.?
We are on a quest to find people to that are doing more complex stuff and gamifing their life to better understand the impact of it and how people discovers and develops it.
Gamifying life is about putting constraints/relationships between different measures. This generates a Metrics Game where only some areas of measurements are allowed and some not (otherwise you lose the game).
If you indeed do something like that I invite you to join https://www.reddit.com/GamifyingLife/ and share your system.
