I stopped reading after you mentioned the only online you’ve done is playing event games today.
Cause none of this stuff happens in any other gameplay? You really want to go that route?
I’m going the route of not bothering to read a wall of text titled “my annual assessment…” when it’s based on only handful of online games. Yes.
Not just a handful, a whole day of playing. I've been doing this assessment every year in the exact same fashion, and I have identified issues that were at some point in time generally accepted by the community as a whole each and every time. Sorry if I didn't meet your criteria.
Anytime.
Anytime? That's your response? Okay.
Breathe. You don’t need validation from everyone. It’s not personal. Everything you said may be true. I just don’t care to read it because I have the ability to think. You know, small sample sizes.
You don't read because you think?
The profound irony in that statement is staggering.
Thinking here is the ability to assess if something is worth reading or not due to its origin. If you need help developing this and other critical thinking skills please let me know. As a former educator it was kind of my thing. (Seriously, lots of resources for you.)
Former educator of what? With that attitude...
If you are as smart as you are claiming you would have followed up appropriately on the fact that this person does this every year. Gameplay is usually consistent. Not sure why you think the sample size is inadequate; this isn't a poll.
Also, I would think a former educator would have a little more humility and be less condescending and venomous. Almost makes me wonder why you are a former educator. Maybe you were in it for the wrong reasons if you have to be this snide rather than genuinely trying to educate people.
You can't just be a condescending douche, immediately discard someone's analysis one sentence in without taking context into account and then claim you were an educator. Something is wrong with this equation.
Usually people who have to push so hard on people what their qualifications are usually tend to be making it up or lost face because of their attitude. You saying "former" raises a lot of questions in the context of your posts. You're quite egotistical and childish for an educator.
High school social studies. Specifically media literacy, psychology, and modern world history. I took a lower stress and higher paying job working from home in 2020.
I would argue that more people need to be filtering their information and disregarding much of it.
And thank you for the baseless insults and name calling. Keep fighting the good fight.
I didn't see anything about reading, English, statistics, philosophy or anything comprehensive and you were disregarding of someone's analysis a sentence in, completely disregarding the context so obviously that particular area is not your area of expertise and you are stepping into a lane you might not have authority on. Just food for thought. Being an educator of some things doesn't make you an educator of all things.
Filtering has nothing to do with it. You literally disregarded an entire argument without even taking context into account or asking questions. Sorry, but that is actually a LACK of literacy.
What were the baseless insults and name-calling? I don't recall presenting any of either. My comments toward you were technical and correct. Douche, perhaps? OK. You were being disrespectful. You're merely getting back what you are giving and seem oblivious to it. Lack of self-awareness is a bad trait for a teacher.
To be an actual educator you need to learn that people don't tend to learn by being condescended to, talked venemously to and being treated like garbage. Humility, respectfulness and patience are needed to be an educator and you clearly fail at all of those, which is alarming as those traits being needed is basically education 101. It's rather embarrassing for you to act like you can't understand why people wouldn't be receptive to "learning" from someone who doesn't have those aforementioned BASIC necessities to actually teach people things. People not reacting well to someone being a douche to them. Imagine that.
There. I just taught YOU something. Whether you actually learn is yet to be seen.
I have not claimed to be an authority on anything here. That’s the other guy. And unlike you, I have not stated an intention to teach here…on an gaming forum. You infer a lot from very little and are incorrect in your inferences.
But hey, I’ll bite. Statistics are at the core of psychological research. Critical thinking is at the core of philosophy, but also social studies. English? I mean. Writing and reading comprehension are heavily utilized in these (all?) fields as well.
And if you can’t see choosing not to consume information based on its lack of validity as filtering, I’m sorry.
So basically you don't have the same philosophy speaking to people through your computer as you do in the classroom. This only speaks further to your poor character and delusion.
Good thing you say you didn't claim expertise on those things, because you clearly lack some very basic skills needed to teach.
I once dealt with someone claiming to be a teacher who mocked handicapped children and said they were put on earth for her amusement, so you simply claiming to be a teacher doesn't mean much to me. I will judge the validity of your words by engaging in your arguments; I'm not gullible.
You can't preach "critical thinking" after making assumptions and ignoring context after dismissing an entire argument after hearing one sentence. Sorry, you need to sit this one out. Your lack of self-awareness is showing.
Perhaps you will get validity if you don't stop reading the paragraph after one sentence? Seems pretty simple to me. Ya kinda have to keep reading it you want to conclude whether there was actual validity or not. His position WAS validated and let you didn't relent and instead only became MORE aggressively arrogant. Funny.
Everything I have "inferred" is quite clear, despite your denial.
Mmk. You can have the last word, Raes. Back to work.
Someone evidently didn't like being put in his place, so this response was predictable. I hope you become a better person, drop the act and actually learn what being a teacher is really about.
He clearly has a very high opinion of himself and projects his overinflated ego onto other people. He is not the kind of person that is capable of may sort of real self reflection.(from what I've gathered from his posts, obviously I don't know the guy from a hole in the wall in real life so hopefuy he's less condescending offline)
Kinda sad that people like him were actually teaching people's children.
Yah I know a lot of people in the Education world and sadly there are tons of old and bitter people who have just given up at this point and become miserable pricks.
To watch someone literally say someone's opinion is worthless and then in the same paragraph suggest that person has no class is just such a hilarious example of lack of self-awarness. The guy doing the name-calling is dismissing arguments... because of name-calling. It's either a huge lack of self-awarness or he's just a disingenuous troll.
Imagining disregarding the entire analysis of a lengthy, numerous paragraph post after 1 sentence due to "lack of validity." That's why you continue reading, LOL. And he is supposed to be an EDUCATOR? And with that attitude? LOL doesn't compute.
You can't make this stuff up.

I hope you become a better person, drop the act and actually learn what being a teacher is really about; obviously you still have a lot to learn yourself.
Another 2 day old account. Really pulling out all the stops. Pathetic and sad, but also entertaining. Good stuff.
And I am just deciding to prioritize work, or really anything, over playing personal attack whack-a-mole with your 2nd and now 3rd accounts. If you choose to see that as “putting me in my place”, well, I can see how we got here.

Can we please stop squabbling and trying to psycho analyze strangers on an Internet forum? Everyone has been condescending here, then gets defensive when someone condescends them. quite a pointless feedback loop we've got going

Timing windows are driving me to insanity

I like it. I really hope the market improves. Also I like the pci anchor, I saw you mention it earlier. I don't think that is why hitting is weird this year. I think a bigger problem is being able to so succefully hit out of the zone and pci placement seeming to be in the backseat to other factors.

100 percent on framerate. Most games play just fine but there are some where the framerate is noticeably unacceptable.
I have to restart the game if I’m annoyed by it and it fixes most of the time.
21 played pretty good framerate wise since day 1. 22 not as well.

I've been playing this game for a long time, I know what I'm talking about. But again, I'm just sharing MY thoughts. I don't need your validation or anyone else's. If you don't agree that's perfectly fine, I'm more than happy to hear people do like the game. Just move along.
-
Victors Law of TheShow discourse: Usually only the OP and the first couple of responses are worth reading, then any thread, doesn’t matter the topic, devolves into pettiness, condescension, and people with something to prove.
BTW, I think OP brought up some very valid points about the state of gameplay, and with the amount of time he’s spent playing over the years, definitely has the frame of reference for his argument, whether you agree with him or not. It certainly lined up with what I’ve been experiencing in Ranked Seasons games.

Breathe. You don’t need validation from everyone. It’s not personal. Everything you said may be true. I just don’t care to read it because I have the ability to think. You know, small sample sizes.
lol acts as if he's the resident expert on the game
In all fairness, I probably am. I'm willing to bet the house that I've been playing this game for a lot longer than most of the people on this forum and at a consistently higher level too.
lol you play one mode primarily offlinen
Ha. If you're not informed, just keep your mouth shut. I've been a borderline top 50 player for years and went flawless probably 100 times since MLBTS 17.
top 50 sure lol

I stopped reading after you mentioned the only online you’ve done is playing event games today.
Cause none of this stuff happens in any other gameplay? You really want to go that route?
I’m going the route of not bothering to read a wall of text titled “my annual assessment…” when it’s based on only handful of online games. Yes.
Not just a handful, a whole day of playing. I've been doing this assessment every year in the exact same fashion, and I have identified issues that were at some point in time generally accepted by the community as a whole each and every time. Sorry if I didn't meet your criteria.
Anytime.
Anytime? That's your response? Okay.
Breathe. You don’t need validation from everyone. It’s not personal. Everything you said may be true. I just don’t care to read it because I have the ability to think. You know, small sample sizes.
You don't read because you think?
The profound irony in that statement is staggering.
Thinking here is the ability to assess if something is worth reading or not due to its origin. If you need help developing this and other critical thinking skills please let me know. As a former educator it was kind of my thing. (Seriously, lots of resources for you.)
Former educator of what? With that attitude...
If you are as smart as you are claiming you would have followed up appropriately on the fact that this person does this every year. Gameplay is usually consistent. Not sure why you think the sample size is inadequate; this isn't a poll.
Also, I would think a former educator would have a little more humility and be less condescending and venomous. Almost makes me wonder why you are a former educator. Maybe you were in it for the wrong reasons if you have to be this snide rather than genuinely trying to educate people.
You can't just be a condescending douche, immediately discard someone's analysis one sentence in without taking context into account and then claim you were an educator. Something is wrong with this equation.
Usually people who have to push so hard on people what their qualifications are usually tend to be making it up or lost face because of their attitude. You saying "former" raises a lot of questions in the context of your posts. You're quite egotistical and childish for an educator.
High school social studies. Specifically media literacy, psychology, and modern world history. I took a lower stress and higher paying job working from home in 2020.
I would argue that more people need to be filtering their information and disregarding much of it.
And thank you for the baseless insults and name calling. Keep fighting the good fight.
I didn't see anything about reading, English, statistics, philosophy or anything comprehensive and you were disregarding of someone's analysis a sentence in, completely disregarding the context so obviously that particular area is not your area of expertise and you are stepping into a lane you might not have authority on. Just food for thought. Being an educator of some things doesn't make you an educator of all things.
Filtering has nothing to do with it. You literally disregarded an entire argument without even taking context into account or asking questions. Sorry, but that is actually a LACK of literacy.
What were the baseless insults and name-calling? I don't recall presenting any of either. My comments toward you were technical and correct. Douche, perhaps? OK. You were being disrespectful. You're merely getting back what you are giving and seem oblivious to it. Lack of self-awareness is a bad trait for a teacher.
To be an actual educator you need to learn that people don't tend to learn by being condescended to, talked venemously to and being treated like garbage. Humility, respectfulness and patience are needed to be an educator and you clearly fail at all of those, which is alarming as those traits being needed is basically education 101. It's rather embarrassing for you to act like you can't understand why people wouldn't be receptive to "learning" from someone who doesn't have those aforementioned BASIC necessities to actually teach people things. People not reacting well to someone being a douche to them. Imagine that.
There. I just taught YOU something. Whether you actually learn is yet to be seen.
I have not claimed to be an authority on anything here. That’s the other guy. And unlike you, I have not stated an intention to teach here…on an gaming forum. You infer a lot from very little and are incorrect in your inferences.
But hey, I’ll bite. Statistics are at the core of psychological research. Critical thinking is at the core of philosophy, but also social studies. English? I mean. Writing and reading comprehension are heavily utilized in these (all?) fields as well.
And if you can’t see choosing not to consume information based on its lack of validity as filtering, I’m sorry.
So basically you don't have the same philosophy speaking to people through your computer as you do in the classroom. This only speaks further to your poor character and delusion.
Good thing you say you didn't claim expertise on those things, because you clearly lack some very basic skills needed to teach.
I once dealt with someone claiming to be a teacher who mocked handicapped children and said they were put on earth for her amusement, so you simply claiming to be a teacher doesn't mean much to me. I will judge the validity of your words by engaging in your arguments; I'm not gullible.
You can't preach "critical thinking" after making assumptions and ignoring context after dismissing an entire argument after hearing one sentence. Sorry, you need to sit this one out. Your lack of self-awareness is showing.
Perhaps you will get validity if you don't stop reading the paragraph after one sentence? Seems pretty simple to me. Ya kinda have to keep reading it you want to conclude whether there was actual validity or not. His position WAS validated and let you didn't relent and instead only became MORE aggressively arrogant. Funny.
Everything I have "inferred" is quite clear, despite your denial.
Mmk. You can have the last word, Raes. Back to work.
Someone evidently didn't like being put in his place, so this response was predictable; this is usually how someone who has lost an argument tends to respond.
I hope you become a better person, drop the act and actually learn what being a teacher is really about; obviously you still have a lot to learn yourself.
Another 2 day old account. Really pulling out all the stops. Pathetic and sad, but also entertaining. Good stuff.
And I am just deciding to prioritize work, or really anything, over playing personal attack whack-a-mole with your 2nd and now 3rd accounts. If you choose to see that as “putting me in my place”, well, I can see how we got here.
Actually it's older, I just integrated my old account and my Switch account together so I let that one stay in place for the forum. Not sure what relevance this discussion has with how long I've been on the forum. The only thing you seem to actually do well here is make assumptions. It appears clear you are not nearly the scholar you attempt to paint yourself as.
Usually someone who loses an argument does exactly what you are doing. Pinned the corner, swinging wildly.
You keep drenching your posts in arrogance and Venom while protecting it onto other people, all because you couldn't acknowledge the fallacious first posts you made dismissing an gigantic, analytical post because you didn't see something after ONE SENTENCE that you would have found if you'd have kept reading.
I'm just using logic 101 against you and it's pretty easy. The only thing that is pathetic is your insanely jaded attitude, hypocrisy, narcissism, insecurity and projection while you claim to have had a profession that requires you not exhibit most of those things. Did you say you taught psychology? Either way, you yourself are perfect psych 101 model of study and appear to be a textbook narcissist.
We "got here" because you had an ego and resorted to logical fallacies with your very first posts. And now bringing up how long I have been on this board as if it has literally any relevance with any part of this discussion.
You're looking for a way to get a leg up and be right. You can't. It's over. Just bow out gracefully or humble yourself. Otherwise, please do us a favor and let cooler heads teach and stay retired. There is enough damaged goods out there monitoring people's children.
Notice how although I have been frank, I have been calm, civil and let my words do all the work because I have the ability to, while you have had to lean on ego and empty claims of intellectual superiority?
Only losers need to resort to that. Time to face reality.

@ sds. Please ban me from the forums so I don't habitually come back to this site every time I have down time at work. There is no value, but I keep doing it. Better yet, burn this place to the ground and save everyone
