It's totally possible to pixelate the worm sprites, there's just a LOT of worm sprite files to process so if I did it I would pixelate all sprites as a mini project. I could probably automate a lot of it. One for another day maybe

Music to my eyes!

Do you accept donations via PayPal? I'd glady donate a little something for your effort!

Lol, it was quite interesting hearing random commentary from this match as AncientFootwear and I were playing Rocket League.

That goal he scored though! I need to clip it!

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!

I actually agree with this...

Like time, failure and ignorance are inherent elements of the universe, we cannot exist without them.

Failure literally teaches us how to optimize and become more efficient, more useful, more powerful. All those who spent entire lifetimes failing over and over, optimizing how to teach the most useful information as efficiently as possible so that younger generations can learn faster and be better!

Ignorance is the lack of knowledge, literally, and without this there wouldn't even be a point to living if we already knew everything that has happened, is happening or ever will happen. Which is why we have memory, so we can learn and forget and learn and forget...

If you know these simple truths and embrace them, as well as a few other nice simple truths, you can become more powerful than you could ever imagine!

Remember, you don't have to be the best at everything, but you could be the best or among the best at something, closer to anything than nothing!

Do not fear failure, it's part of the process!

More I know you, more I think you're here just to amuse us.

I'm off for today. Rest of you guys - enjoy!

Yes Sensei, run away as usual.

Like MI, I also don't consider Sensei's statements in this game a lie.

You're literally wrong by the definitions of the words he used in the combination he used them.

I didn't invent English, though I always check up on multiple dictionaries and meanings when accusing people of things like this just to double and triple check I'm not making a mistake myself.

You should do the same thing, specifically on:

1) What the word "measure" means.

2) Even if the word "measure" was specific to "tools/instruments/machines" only. The "eyes", the "human brain" and multiple other parts of our body are also considered to be a tool/instrument/machine, albeit biologically, but still fit into the definitions of what those words define.

MI prepares the chains and a padlock to lock the thread ;c

Yeah that's fair enough, all the proof is already here anyway.

Though absolutely I will never stop fighting against lies and misinformation, regardless who it is or how powerful or influential they are, I'd rather die than accept lies.

We're glad you're all enjoying the Podcasts!

The next one has been confirmed and will be announced soon!

I confess I prefer to skip until the invited person arrives and it's hard to know the exact time. I enjoy interviews. The intro is way too long for me though, but preparing a stream and waiting people is part of the process, I guess.

Are you referring to the countdown at the start? 15 minutes before the stream begins, or the 1st half of the show which is news about various competitive events in WA and then tutorials and stuff by Mablak and I?

I know that feeling, there are similar things in gaming I watch on YouTube and Twitch and ignore half the content just to get to the good stuff I like! Lucky we have timestamps so we can let people know exactly where to skip to so they don't watch things they aren't intersted in!

This looks awesome!

Is there any way to edit the worms so they look more pixelated in alignment with the map itself? That would be the cherry on top! As well as the clouds others have mentioned.

Like I said, an unintenional lie is an oxymoron.

To be more precise, an oxymoron is a figure of speech that represents a self-contradictory effect, by saying things like "hateful love" or "cruel kindness" or "working vacation", etc.

I'm more comfortable saying what I said as it's more precise to the point I was making, thanks.

I think we all know Sensei is not an angel lol, but bringing that up is just Ad Hominem, or even Red Herring since you introduce irrelevant information to divert attention away from the main issue or argument.

It is NOT an ad-hominem to use relevant information and evidence to prove a point. It is not irrelevant as those examples are a part of this entire thing, it's part of the buildup... The water that fills up and overflows a barrel from various sources to beyond the precipice. I am not attacking Sensei's personality, I'm attacking, or rather defending the truth against the things he has LITERALLY SAID AND DONE which there is direct evidence of:

https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/game-240342/

Now, in that thread, all I had to do was search his game history from the very same day, imagine what I'd find if I actually "Went chasing him" like MonkeyIsland accuses me of.

It's relevant because both cases were BnG, both cases he's complaning about how other people play BnG, both cases he was literally caught lying. If you think that's irrelevant, then your opinion is irrelevant. As I've repeated before, and if I made a mistake I apologize but let me clarify again:

On this occasion, and the previous occasions where he was caught lying, he was caught lying, it does NOT mean he is a pathological liar, or a bad person.

I still treat Sensei with respect just like anyone else when I don't see any lies, I will help him with any technical help, streaming stuff, whatever he asks me I'll try and help him with... His skills in this game are impressive to me, his passion is impressive to me. I am not attacking his character, or his personality, I am attacking SPECIFIC things he has done, which there is evidence of.

Generally speaking, I don't ever have issues with him online during games, it's usually quite fun and relaxing to play with him, especially BnG and Big RR!

You're overexaggerating something that happened 2-3 months ago. Something that happened between Rocket and myself and it was forgotten hour later. Not then, nor now it was any of your bussines, but you tend to make everything that happens in community as your bussines. As MI said earlier - this doesn't look good on you.

No, you're trying to make light of a situation you were caught lying about. That's all. When you do something publicly, do not treat it as private. I only came across it because I watch most BnG games on the website and enjoy reading chats because for the most part they don't have people accusing other people of being lame when they do the same thing themselves lol.

I'm more interested in the truth, than how people "like me".

Quote from: Sensei on April 03, 2024, 02:49 PM
Also, never thought Rocket is a guy that needs someone to watch over him and fight his "battles". By prolonging this nonsense, you're making him look weak as well. I don't think he wants you to do it anymore. Did you ever thought of asking him? Try that.

Rocket doesn't need anyone to watch over him, and that's not why I did it, and if you think that then I honestly don't care, Rocket is a very capable man and when he asked me not to post in that thread again, I didn't.

You saying I make him look weak, is just simply a pathetic way of trying to make me look bad.

You should try and make me look bad using facts and defending the lies you've literally said, instead of trying to get psychological, in which you always lose anyway.

You're trying to run away from defending yourself again by trying to change the blame.

This isn't about just Rocket anyway, I could pull countless examples from your game history from this year alone, would you care to test me?

If you do 2 things, this will stop:

1) Admit you measure various things when playing BnG, it doesn't mean you use math and calculate shots from a chart etc.

2) Stop berrating other people and trying to make them look bad because they throw rollers and shots that you personally don't like.

Until you stop lying about certain things, and stop talking down to people who don't add up to your personal checklist of skills and quality, I will constantly be here to fight against that behaviour.

Oink!

The definition of measure fits exactly what I've described, while at the same time also fits what Xan said.

You can measure things with your eyes and other parts of your body,  you memorise and use objects and patterns on the map that are repeatedly used in BnG/WA over and over, this is very simple to understand. This is also tied to whatever resolution you use.

You also measure with game audio when firing weapons at the same time as visual, it's an audio measurement as well as a visual measurement as well as a timed measurement.

Saying "I don't measure anything" is a lie, whether intentional, unintentional, or confabulation.

I know Sensei isn't a "counter", he actually has a lot of respect from me, that isn't what this is about though.

Did you even read my posts in their entirety? And saw the recent history of stuff Sensei has been lying/confabulating about?

Did you see him accuse Rocket of being lame, "the worst thing I've seen all day" when literally less than 2 hours prior to that statement  he did the same thing! 🤣

I disagree, IMMENSELY! This is one time where you don't have all the information or have followed everything I have followed, I'll gladly show you it all if you have time though.

Maybe you don't think I'm defending BnG, but assure you I am.

I've been giving players 1on1 training sessions recently for BnG and this stuff goes into that, how players think, aim, measure etc...

Sensei has limits and restrictions, because of the way he talks about BnG, and he's quite an influential person with a sizeable Discord server.

You don't speak for the entire world when it comes to this subject, and neither do I. Though I believe in teaching people the truth and how they can achieve greatness by applying simple truths and beliefs.

Sensei is acting how I and others used to act, being elitist about BnG. Insulting people for throwing good shots because they don't live up to his standards of "feel" or "fancy shots".

He's accused myself and other of being notchers and even said he doesnt regard how I play BnG as real BnG, hes literally said that within the last year... Even though his terminology is wrong because everyone is a notcher which I even explained on the podcast and even Deadcode got it immediately lol.

He insults other players and disrespects them with his comments in games and on forums and I do not tolerate any of this. And even though you don't know the history or why this is relevant, it is and I will ALWAYS write the truth when I see people lying about BnG and this game in general.

Think of it this way...

Sensei literally says "I don't measure anything", and whether it's just lazy writing or a genuine delusional belief that he isn't measuring anything that's fine, he can believe that if he wants and if he's happy that's all good... It IS literally a lie though, the combination of words he used in the order he used them versus the reality of the universe and what we can achieve by realising exactly what we're doing, how we're doing it, and sharing those techniques with other people so they can get just as good if not better so we can all push each other to get better and better.

Though I want people to know the truth, of all the different ways people ACTUALLY measure EVERYTHING, so that they have the option of playing the game at a more advanced level than Sensei ever could because of his own restrictions and elitist attitude.

1 last thing... Just because I said he is a liar about this doesn't mean he is a pathological liar about everything, or even means he is a bad person.

As I said in the other thread about Aerial, my intention is never to annoy Sensei or insult him. I use the term liar literally, I'm trying to help him and everyone else be better. I actually enjoy watching him play and playing with him, help him if he ever asks for help. Reply to him when he asks me questions and treat him like I do anyone else with respect and honesty. Compliment him on good shots. Even featured him in the competitive showcase 🤣

He said he isn't "measuring anything", he is.

He said it's "pure feel", it's not.

The way he writes implies he doesn't measure anything at all. Which isn't true, and this is something he has been saying for a while now not just this thread.

And him lying it's not just this thread either it's the one where he accused rocket of being lame etc as well.

As I said he may also be confabulating. I don't care who anyone is or how powerful they are, I do not tolerate lies like this, intentional or not.

There is context here you have missed.

Also. I'm not chasing him. I watch many games and comment on many things, he just says a lot of controversial things some of which aren't even true and since its BnG. My favourite scheme, damn right I'm going to defend it. I don't want people thinking you can get good without measuring the game in some way or another.

This is important.

Eager to see some of these matches! Though I'd love to stream, don't have a clue about Rush and Shyguys Team17 variant... Hopefully KRD or someone else can educate me!
