It will take a lot of time to understand and learn how to control the car and the ball, but once you know that, you can go into ranked or casual 1v1-matches. These are the most nerve-wracking matches to play for most people, since your own mistakes often immediately gives your opponent and opportunity to net a goal. The reason I personally think this game is so awesome and satisfying to play, is how you need to learn and develop yourself in both game sense and game mechanics.
The grind of getting the mechanics is worth it in my opinion, but all in all you also have you enjoy the game.
The 5-minute gameplay in a match of Rocket League, especially in 1v1s, will introduce intense and stressful moments for many players. So observing yourself through both how you react and how you play will learn you a lot. Because everything happens immediately, you need to be aware of how you emotionally react to your own failure in order to play your best game. If you learn wisely from your mistakes, it doesn't matter if you win or loose, because you have a better fundamental understanding for future games. Rinse and repeat! Then understand how the same risk and reward principles that applies in Rocket League can be applied to your own personal risk management.
In general, I learned more about learning, and emotional reactions than I ever imagined I would from a game. And especially a game where the objective is to use your rocket-boost powered car to smash an oversized ball into the goal.
It looks like a cool piece of software with lots of nice features, but I mean.. I don't need, as far as I know, a client-server stack for downloading stuff.
Downloading something from a server is a single point of failure. Power outage, cease and desist, any amount of infrastructure failure or human error, etc. What doesn't go away are a whole bunch of people around the world. Want something wacky from 2 decades ago? Your options are usually either hoping it's on archive.org, or some random guy still seeding the torrent from Uzbekistan that you now have a silent bond with.
One reason (probably the main reason) to use Deluge, with its client-server stack, is you can run the server on a “seed box” which will allow you to manage your torrents on a server which is always up (and always seeding, when needed) from a client which is not always online (your laptop, for example). This is extremely useful if you are part of a private tracker community where users are required to seed the things that they leech.
They are indeed still a thing. In my region there are lots of good movies that are simply not available for streaming. Even fairly mainstream movies, like The Spanish Prisoner for example. One could buy those movies on DVD, but that does not feel like a good option to me.
Have you found a service that can provide you with any movie/series/music/game ever made? Please share with everyone else, since the popular services like Netflix/Spotify/Steam don't really measure up to that standard.
Among my generation? Very much so.
I'm not sure about younger people. With phones being the main way of consuming endless content, having to put in any effort into staying in a private tracker or not getting wannacry'd from a public one seems less enticing.
But as a client, you have to pay somewhat for that server. And by the way it is one of coolest pieces of software ever. I wish client-server stack to be dead in favor of all kinds of torrents and blockchains.
It was harder to gain weight from my lowest point after doing intermittent fasting, than starting to loose from my highest point.
At the lowest point I had lost a lot of interest in food and eating and did not have the same hunger. It is much worse problem since loosing weight is only about discipline, but gaining weight is about more than that.
Rocket League. It will take a good amount of hours to learn mechanics, but this has been a game that really helped me out on learning routines and then being able to use those mechanics for intelligent plays. It's a lot about decision making and response time.
Not sure why others are downvoting, this is really great advice for people who have social anxiety - low risk, real enough to be meaningful, usually narrowly focused on a shared interest, prepares you for the real thing. Downvote me as well if you like, but I’d be curious why people don’t agree
It's not at all clear to me that it does prepare you for the real thing. I think one could very plausibly argue the opposite: it's so massively easy-mode that it gets you used to social interactions being easy and low-friction, and through habit it raises the barrier to practising the real thing.
Agree, I think a simpler example of how this happens is remembering names. Everybody had zoom names on screen so had "easy mode" doing this for over a year, and most people I've talked to had some difficulty remembering names since.
Can confirm. If you live in or around Oslo you will have access to skiing and climbing by subway, and surfing by car. Not that under-the-northern-lights-surfing tho.
Perhaps make all the past notifications you generated fully visible with no login required. Nothing sensitive about the past? Show the dates you'd have sent the content and what it would have looked like. Would be good for SEO too I think.
Having a free option sounds like a bad idea. Given that your users are by definition people interested in investing money, they should be perfectly suited to pay. Really what they're paying for is time, since they could find all of this info on their own, but their time is worth more than $20 to do so.
Edit: But I do like the idea of a free trial for a week or a month.
You could randomly select one company to feature from a list of N upcoming IPOs. E.g. `${sampleCo} begins trading this week, along with N-1 others...` You could leave the N-1 other tickers blurred out, or you could literally write 'along with seven other companies. Subscribe today to receive all IPO updates'. Something to that effect.
After all, customers will pay you for convenience, not proprietary data. As other commenters noted, this data is all freely available on NYSE, et al.
Your value prop == 'aggregated list of all upcoming IPOs in your inbox'. Not 'some' IPOs. You can demonstrate that the product works well by providing one free sample.
Maybe a free version could be something that only announces that days IPOs or last week or something? That would demonstrate all the content without providing nearly as much value as it’s not enough time to participate.
But an X week trial is probably a good option as well to give people an idea without having to keep up a free and non-free version.
Agree about a free trial. I'd consider something like $5/month for email updates, and then upsell into more advanced features that automate a process for me. If this thing could actually help me buy (e.g. hook it up to my Robinhood account and insert an order opening day) then I'd be willing to spend more.
