Ice tilt is real yes.

Example: Played couple days ago, I won 3-1 but had some 48 shots or something like that but my guys were skating in tar and opposing goalie was making head scratching saves like behind the back and 3/4th over the goal line stick sweeps... felt like the other guy was playing with a bunch of Bures coming down the ice. I only won because he/she didn't ever adjust to defensive formations. My 3 goals came from hilariously prolonged cycles. But it was actually a damn struggle to skate and pass.

So the game I just played and lost with the Jets because their entire team was skating like a bunch of beer league-rs suddenly makes sense.

I wonder if there's a way to fight the ice tilt. Does pissing off the other team work? Like shooting the puck and the net when you go offside? Picking fights? Play with Chara and try to line up the other team's midgets?
 
The ice tilt is absolute garbage with NHL. It's so apparent playing EASHL when your guys come out slow as ****ing **** and the other team is flying. It's not like you can even control player speeds anymore by doing custom attributes.

Also, the AI defensemen love skating behind/into the net and losing the puck.

The AI like losing it in the goalie's pads and own goaling.

Then some games you'll score 6 goals in a period. I beat someone 12-1 one day. Tilt is awful I think they called it momentum in a /r one time
 
Last day at work :yo:

I move to Bayside on Tuesday and start my new job on the 16th.

It's all scary and exciting!

Smart man. Giving yourself some time off in between jobs. Wish I had done that, but couldn't :(

Good luck!

Thanks!

Well, the "time off" mostly includes frantically packing the rest of my apartment and then moving. And then shopping for proper clothes and selling my car. But yeah, I should have a block of...4 hours free at some point? :laugh:

Congrats! What does the new job look like? A step up for you?

Thanks!

I'll still be an A/V Technician, but with more client managing responsibilities. And it's at a high-scale venue in Tribeca. Definitely a step up for me (especially since I'm moving from a PTP job to a FT job, finally).

I wish I had done the same thing before I started in my current role back in September.

That is great. Congratulations. Hopefully this leads to bigger and better things for you!

Yep :(

When I left my last job, my department of five people (when I started) was now two people (me and the director of the department). So when I left, it was going to be just him there. I loved the guy, great boss, so I gave three weeks notice instead of two in order to set him up after I left. My last day there was Friday, and my first day at the new gig was Monday.

This past weekend, I had five consecutive days off. (Thurs through Monday). That was the longest consecutive time off I've taken in four years :(

Need a vacation, I'm just too broke :laugh:

Best of luck to you, man. Welcome back to the city. :)
 
Anyone know a lot about computers? I posted this in the Geek Emporium, but figured I'd double up here just in case:

I don't know if this is legal for this thread since I'm not building it, but...

Dell xps13, $1665

256GB SSD
16GB Ram
7th gen i7

Yes? No? Can I do better in this budget?

I really wanted the Lenovo Yoga 910, but there are horror stories about how loud the fan is on that computer, which is a real shame because it's otherwise exactly what I want.

I bought an HP Spectre x 360 with 256 GB hard drive, 16 GB RAM, and a 6th generation i7 processor for just under $1300 during Black Friday. I love it so far. Light, powerful, and durable. Was overall the best Ultrabook of 2016, IMO.

**** with the strategies. Breakout, defense (collapsing, staggered, tight point), forecheck, etc.

^ This?

Someone on the Geek Emporium also recommended this... Where there's smoke...

Are the reviews accurate? Where the battery drains even while it's off? I'm also not sure I want to go down to 1080p... but to save $300.....

Very similar to mine, except that I got the early 2016 model with an OLED 2560 x 1440 screen resolution. Also have 3 USB ports and an HDMI port, whereas the late 2016 model that you linked only has one USB.

I haven't had much problem with the battery draining when it's off. Maybe I lose 1-2% over the course of two days. The only time I noticed losing battery power is when I kept it on standby, where I lost about 8-10% over the course of a full day.

I've been getting a solid 8 hours or so of battery per charge with moderate web browsing and Netflix playback. Probably would get more if I didn't watch as much video as I have been. Either way, I recommend it highly so far.

Thoughts?

It's way too flashy for me, but I can save some money, and it has good reviews... ugh.

EDIT - So I decided that the clunky bezel on this made it undesirable. I just ordered the xps13. I already have buyers remorse, as I do with every large purchase I make. I better not have to buy another computer for 3-5 years if not more.
