I really dislike movie remakes of classic animation movies. I recently watched Aladdin 2019 and honestly I wasn't all that impressed. The ending was disappointing, it simply promoted Hollywood agenda that female is the future. This itself have been a trend in movies for over a decade now, where women gets to carry torches after men.

Original Disney animated movies had so much more charisma and emotion in them. So when you view the remakes, you will instantaneously feel safe and related because you already know what will happen and how everyone feel. The Lion King looks completely soulless and devoid of any emotion. So you have the source to look at, so you basically know how they feel in real life, although it is epic CGI no doubt.

The only remake I can get by is The Jungle Book, that's about it.

Really good ZaR game. Nicely played. You were tough to put down.

Cup has started. Good luck ladies.

Cup is open for signups!

During a fall in a rope based scheme, particular in BIG Z RR. You will want to know when to react before hitting the surface ground/object. This can help aid player knowing when to move etc. The free fall module will activate during a fall, and give you timely estimate when to fire rope and continue. How? Well, in the free fall, a count down will appear over the worm's body as it is falling, counting down when closing the surface from 5 or 3. When it hits zero it hits the ground literally. On one second it means 1 second to react before hitting the ground.

This idea I give to anyone who wishes to purse it and make it a reality. It would be helpful during falls.

Thanks.

I was wondering when this thread was coming to an end. I am glad to it finally ending now. Now that Komodo's ego have finally stopped burning. Ego and ignorance can cloud one's comprehension of reality, but do I fault him? Do I regret having this discussion with him? Hard to say, and no, I do not regret. Here is why. There are can be many factor of a man's delusion and unwillingness to see, and accept others point of view, and perhaps facts, but Komodo shuns it away with arrogance and giggles like it is some kind of sandbox for children. I do not regret having this debate, but It was exhausting. But the info provided by both parties can prove useful for the curios reader, so that person that read can make their own decisions.

No problem Mr Komodo. I am glad you had your fun.

So instead of using history, things that actually happened, doing actual research, using replays(things that actually exist), talking to people and getting their testimonials to process your thoughts and beliefs, you are happy to just believe something because you like it like that and don't want to even check 1st?

You can call me narrow minded and one sided all you want, it still doesn't make it true lol.

ZaR have existed for over 4 years now. People are familiar with it. It have been in the league. It have been played many times. And I am saying people can improve faster without parachute.

You are the one trying to pass off personal beliefs as universal facts, not me.

Look who's talking.

There you go again trying to state opinions as facts, all you need to do is add "for me" at the end of that sentence.

Because, if you didn't know, the world doesn't evolve around you Kradie.

Just because you lack the necessary skill like, focus, consistency and patience, doesn't mean beginners and other people are like that.

It doesn't matter whose fault it is, we're talking about having fun, giving each player the same amount of time to rope.

You call me egotistical yet you are making this all about you how you personally feel about it, it doesn't matter if you don't like it or not lol, all I was saying is that it's fun for some people, I didn't expect you to bite so hard at this wow...

It does matter who fault it is. If you fail, that's on you. 

So what you are saying is, you are unable to detect mistakes while using parachute, and because you don't understand that other people can, you think it doesn't happen at all lol?

That's what it sounds like you are saying and i've already explained, this is not an opinion, this is a fact:

When you lose control of rope, hit the wall, or the roof, or fail to hit spacebar in time, or press the wrong arrow keys, with or without parachute, you are aware of your mistake. Why? Because if you use parachute, you will either lose control of the worm completely, or the parachute will open, it's very simple.

Using parachute doesn't make people blind to mistakes, not using parachute doesn't change the physics of roping, it doesn't make mistakes happen that can't happen with parachute.

Continuous rinse and repeat makes the mind numb and blind to mistakes because it all happens quickly. Without parachute, it is easier to review the mistakes because it have showed an error in your turn.

You dodged the question entirely, you still are.

Nope. Give it up Komodo.

You twist my words, then can't even understand what you done wrong lol.

This is hilarious

I am happy you find entertainment in your ignorance ^^

You can't even tell apart examples, theories, evidence, and facts/opinions.

You can't even realize when you are being a hypocrite.

You keep digging a bigger and bigger hole for yourself.

You throw around random numbers that doesn't prove anything. You are tall talk, no action.

Do you even know what consistency means?

I specifically didn't say what you are saying because being more consistent doesn't mean better.

You can be consistently slow, you can be consistently bad.

Using parachute or not makes no difference to how consistent a person can be, all I said was without using parachute you are more likely to become a consistent roper, rather than an impressive roper, because as you said, you will be more focused on trying not to fall, so you will rope safer/slower to make sure you don't chance losing your turn.

And what I was implying there was it is more likely to make you a slower, safer roper because the fear of falling and losing your turn doesn't make you push boundaries as much.

Yep, and you can be a impressive roper and have great consistency with INCREDIBLE SPEED. Because the mind have adapted. People are fearless without parachute, it is rewarding, and pride. They fight for it. Showing that they aren't dependent on a pillow to land on.

Are you really telling someone over the internet to go in a corner and cry?

Is this how desperate you've became? You can't even debate using any sort of useful information at all anymore?

You look like you are starting to take this very personally and starting to lose control man, keep calm, it's just a debate

I am pretty calm about this. Did you assume I was desperate? I have used many useful information, but you are throwing them out because it doesn't fit your deluded narrative.

I'm not belittling the views of other people, or their practices.

You are the one who created this topic calling other people weak, they need their hand held etc.

If you feel belittled because of the way i've defended against such ridiculous opinions that you've made, then you are acting insecure and in the moment lacking confidence.

Why would you advocate for these people? They haven't even complained. So you are assuming. I am not feeling insecure, and lacking confidence. In fact, quite the opposite!

Well, now that you've admitted it's an opinion, and not stating it as a universal fact that all humans must agree with, that's fine

Rest assured, your input here are purely opinion based. While mine are opinion, but facts too. You do gain more knowledge, you do rope better, you do see your mistakes more often, you do learn faster.

It is a pity you denounce the speedrunning comparison, and no parachute as its own category. It just shows how deluded you are. It's crazy.

I never met anyone in my life this incredible stubborn. It behooves you to stop impugning irrationally, and instead try ameliorate the situation.When someone disagree with you, you go out of your way to make it as facts. Komodo is right, REGARDLESS.

Btw, how was your date?

Well, when we say "learn how to rope", aren't we assuming we are talking about beginners anyway?

I didn't say people can't improve without parachute, of course they can, because it's still practise.

I'm just saying that with parachute, they will improve faster.

Entirely subjective and not documented in WA.

And of course they can practise with ldet, as a matter of fact since ldet became a thing, you can learn to rope even faster!

That is so wrong and cringe worthy man. What drugs are you on? Sure I can get by ldet being a thing in warmers though.

Also with ldet in Big RR for example, 40s no banana, it means every player gets the same amount of time roping, and it helps keeps players interested when you have like 4 players, as sometimes players will quit if everyone else is having full turns, and they are losing their turn very fast and falling incredibly far behind. I know this isn't "honorable" in your opinion, but it's fun in casual games.

Wow so communistic. It is not honorable, if you fall behind, that's your fault! Even I can fall incredible far behind.

Sure, you can get long turns without parachute, but can you get incredibly impressive turns that rival the greatest considered ropers of all time? Personally I think you are holding yourself back, but hey if you are happy we're all good

ZaR has some extremely talented ropers, and one of them is particular pain in the ass to pin down. So, are you saying that I need to practice roping with traditional settings before considering beating anyone else that exceeds my own current skills either if they are ZaR or not? Quite frankly, I never fought to be the very best, but to Improve myself. With ZaR I have, and so have everyone else in it and outside of it.

You keep saying "In ZaR roper, you remember the fail, try not to repeat it", but any successful person will tell you that you learn from your mistakes, and you keep trying over and over until you get it right, and I am confident enough to say most successful people, in many aspects of life will tell you that you will get better by pushing boundaries, by any means neccessary.

So you are saying that in order to get better faster, instant repeat by parachute save is necessary in contrast to no parachute? If that is the case, this topic will never end.

Because you don't have that safety net from using the parachute, you may indeed be more cautious, and you won't push the boundaries as much as you would with the parachute, which will probably leave you being a consistent roper, but not so much an impressive roper that pushes the boundaries.

Komodo, I have seen impressive roping combined with high consistency in ZaR. Both can be applied there, and one does not to have to be a TAS to do it.  I have seen players complimenting other players on their perfectly executed turns. Turns that requires rapid momentum, precise maneuvers and tricks if necessary, tricks that can even further acceleration. If you do not believe this, you are in denial.
It is a good thing you are acknowledging that no parachute requires more consistency.

Don't think of the parachute as a crutch, think of it as an asset, like using planes to fly, using vehicles to travel, having the internet to help us learn etc, it's a good thing because it helps us to become better faster!

Sure, asset is fine. Fine for other modes.

There are a lot more training techniques than just with chute and without chute.

Yep.

My only problem I had with you in this thread Kradie, was you being negative towards people who use parachute. Instead of being clever and interesting in a way that promotes ZaR and not using parachute, you attacked a long standing tradition in this game, and called it inferior, weak, pathetic etc... And the funny thing is, you have every right to voice your opinions, but think about this, if you had said all your good opinions about not using parachute without saying any of your bad opinions about using parachute, this would have worked out a lot better for you

Worked out differently for me? Am I supposed to be in a tight spot here? Am I in trouble? Oh wow, I forgot that other in this thread attacked no parachute ropers too. Anyways man, this thread, this poll, shows one things. Majority on TuS, and legacy players are more comfortable & safe using parachute. While I, some legacy players, and new generation, are not.  It is about ''Ok, I don't mind roping without parachute''. It is not a gun to their heads saying ''Rope without parachute or else!''.

Just remember the way you advertise and market certain things can have a drastic impact on how people perceive it and decide if they want to be involved or not.

Why do you think pretty much all real life advertising campaigns don't immediately attack other companies? They want to make you feel good, they want to trigger good, happy memories, not make you hate other things and trigger bad/spiteful memories, because people don't usually buy most things when they are angry!

Komodo man, I did not make this thread with the intent of advertising. I came here to voice my opinion, have other vote and reply whether they agree or not. If you think that my first post and continued replies afterward were harsh vocally, that's because I firmly believe in what I say. However, my intention were not bad, and if it seemed that way, it perhaps overshadowed the inevitable truth that imo, parachute can be good and fun alternate mode for other people instead of relying on parachute.

A random example, take Nike, their adverts don't start with "Don't wear Adidas, you're weak if you wear Adidas, wear Nike, be hardcore warrior like us!" (Although that would probably be a pretty amusing advert lol)

Boy oh boy that made me think of this


You seem to love metaphors so much, so I will give you one, something I mentioned briefly before.

In speedruns there are many categories, so for example in Super Mario The Lost Levels. You have any%, and 100% runs. You have big Mario run, and you have small Mario runs. You can choose Luigi too, and he can do any of the mentioned categories as well. However, with Luigi, you can jump so much higher and longer, but with Mario you cannot. Luigi's physics makes it easier to maneuver but with Mario your acceleration and speed is tad better. Some says Luigi is too easy to learn, so people stick with Mario. There are many other speedrun games that are similar to this.

So when you think about no parachute, think about it like this. It is its own category and you can rope and master roping just asd you could with parachute, but AGAIN EXCLUDING parachute techniques.
