Write, “lemmy” with your toes and take a pic… Bonus points if you draw the rats face

I bet you just made up this claim… you probably can’t even hold a marker with your toes -let alone write with that marker!

Im a top 1% player in Rocket League after playing for 4500 hours. The skill gap between me and the best players in the game is the same gap as between me and a brand new player.

But i will still beat 99% of the game’s population.

Same for me, but with Tetris. I’m not the best, but I’m confident I can handedly beat the vast majority of the population. I spent most of my lockdown days just doing Tetris.

Similar on Splatoon. Before the recent rank reset I was S+6, it blows my mind that people go up to like S+20. But when the season ends, all the S+x ratings reset to S rank, and playing with normal S rank people recently reminded me of that.

I was literally just about so say same for splatoon, I just hit my highest elo ever and I’m really proud of myself 🥺

Do you play much x rank? I’m surprised to see someone refrencing their anarchy rank as opposed to x power

Did you mean “handily?” Or “single-handedly,” implying some sort of Teamtris?

As an 800 hour player that has to put the game down because of competitiveness making me a curmudgeon – Wow, gotta say. That’s so much work.

Did you use the practice modes to get to be that level or did it just come to you during play?

  • Tons of freeplay
  • Tons of mods/workshop map
  • Ive had some coaching
  • And I also play in an amateur league

As long as you always play to improve, watch videos to keep up on mechanics/metas, and just immerse yourself in the game, you’ll always climb up. If you play at least 2 hours a day, you’ll be insane before you know it.

But in the spirit of this post, you could spend your time doing something so much more productive than a video game lol

Played 932h (around 900h actual playtime) and almost exclusively played ranked or rumble/dropshot but never casual.
Best rank was Diamond 2 or 1 not sure anymore.
Played it only on keyboard. No controller ever used. Gave it up as a sort of protest against the buyout and never went back.

Yeah same, but with like 2K hours. At some point I was Grand Champion 1 or something. I could probably win against 2 noobs without me using jump and boost, but in the few moments I played against pros I got equally clapped. It’s insane to me how much better pro players are.

After Epic bought it the whole game slowly went to shit though. Psyonix once treated the game and its community as their baby, but it just became a soulless money printer without any decent innovation. So I barely play anymore, even though the core game is ultimately still fun.

I learned to ride a unicycle.

I’ve wanted to do this but I’m afraid at my age I’ll be seriously injured trying.

I learned to ride when I was 17. It took me like 2 months to learn to ride.

I just turned 42 today. If I didn’t already know how to mount and ride a unicycle already, I’d probably be like F that as well.

If you fall on an unicycle you land on your feet

Usually yes, but it partly depends on how big the tire is and how tall the unicycle is…

I learned on a 24 inch tire with 6 inch pedal cranks, not stupid tall. I wasn’t going for the circus, I just wanted to learn to ride.

My experience says no to this. Maybe usually, but I fell on my ass a few too many times and gave up trying to learn the rest.
