boom.

Can you not, please?

I'm reusing this thread:

I'm looking for a team mentor for the motley band of players I've inherited now formally known as "ESEA Can't Melt Steel Teams". I've been playing this game for an embarrassingly long amount of time and I am still not good at a lot of things in comparison to others who have been playing for equal or less time, and maincalling and identifying team problems are two of them. As a team, there is a lot that we collectively don't know how to fix. We teeter between putting up a fight and getting our faces rolled a fair bit unless someone is ringing for us. Some of our problems lie in the fact that we're still trying to find out who on the team has the best ability to maincall and we feed at times, and these translate into all sorts of odd positioning issues. Personally I think I'm not doing enough damage. Last season we'd review demos of ourselves and of better teams but the latter had mixed results. We scrim pretty often, 4 or 5 days/week with at least 3 scrims/day. There's a lot that I don't know; I kind of have a peanut brain so learning video game related things is hard if it doesn't immediately click and if you need proof of this just ask conductor and he will confirm that yes, I have not improved a whole lot.

I don't like heavily imposing on people but I want my team to have a good time but actually be able to be happy that we've improved and not disappoint the two three new additions we've picked up. I don't care about putting up eye-popping 450dpm stats myself and I don't expect overnight miracles. If anyone legitimately in the ballpark of mid-IM could spare time every so often to give my squad the boost we need, I dunno what else I could say or give besides my thanks.

My mom's been in the teaching game since before I was born and she's still in it as a tutor even in retirement, and she's told me that the Common Core is a good idea that needs to be refined and actually taught to teachers before it's taught to students. From what she's seen in the NYS public and private school system, almost every school teaches for "the tests" (ex. the PSAT, SAT, and ACT) and rarely do they teach for understanding. There's no unified education requirement and it allows schools to get away with JUST teaching for "the tests" and inflate grades for funding bonuses since the United States would rather pump money into DARPA, DiGRA, the NSA, pet projects, etc. for bullshit nonsense instead of education. Regardless, she's seen the counting circles inside of circles stuff that the current Common Core is teaching and she thinks it's the biggest dumpster fire she's ever seen (not her words obviously).

I can't speak for anyone else in NYC but when I was in 3rd grade or so my class got a demo of Common Core math called TERC which involved students making visual and physical associations with tiny to medium sized blocks: single tiny blocks would be 1 unit, 10 of those would be 1 row of 10, 10 rows of 10 would be 100, etc. The problem is, the principal decided that it would be an AWESOME idea to have TERC programs be the only way that math was taught. That was stupid and ruined the point of TERC. The new bullshit they've got in the common core with the circles and the bizarre tally marks? And that's supposed to be the standard of education that's supposed to be taught for understanding of all things? Completely retarded.
[Edit: these were physical blocks mind you, not drawings]

There's also a bit of a human element that's afraid of change in this, as well. If any of you have LinkedIn accounts, try to peep some of the "new SAT" discussion - lot of tutors are pissing themselves about the world is going to hell in a handbasket because the SAT team is making the test harder to combat grade inflation.

Dr. Duke Pesta talks about his anti-Common Core position and while anyone should take anything they see on the internet with a grain of salt, he raises some important points concerning the LibArts section, especially the "required reading materials" which are completely nonsensical for even middle schoolers because the topics they cover are such ones that they're not emotionally (biologically, as in their mental facilities have not developed enough) and intellectually mature enough to process. It's a pretty long speech even from the timestamp I've included so listen if you're interested, jump around to find the literature parts if you're not. If you ask me, I'll be against the Common Core until they fix it so that it allows teachers to teach so that students can understand; toss all of this art-fart and sociologist business into the trash.

NO CAPTAIN KING COLLECTION FOR WIN 10

NO DEAL

:)

Been itching to play this or cpma because I'd rather not play TF2 for a pub/fun game fix but both are pretty dead for their own reasons and I'd rather play with someone who's not a complete stranger. Down to duel, CA, ctf, etc, open to anyone who's legitimately looking to teach someone ins & outs of dueling, hit me up.

Do you have writing samples? If no, get some. You'll need 'em.

So I can actually use this post in a constructive way instead of being beat to the punch by Benroads.

If you want to edit the hitsounds and kill notification sound, it's really easy and simply requires that you have Audacity. For reference, I changed the kill notification sound to:

Changing the pitch of your hitsound doesn't seem too hard even though I have no real experience editing sounds outside of micspam for HLDJ/HLSS back in the day, a replacement for most of the Demoman lines with a bunch of Marauder voicelines from Starcraft 2, and hitsounds for TF2.

Well gorsh, I'm sorry, hyuk. Ah guess I'lla retreat tuh my home unner tha bridge, a-hyuk.
