i watch a lot of spanish tv related to my field (medicine/science) so i learn words that way aswell. try to be specific with your immersion so it actually interests you.

posted 1 week ago

easy to learn when immersion. try using it via video games, streams, if your work allows some basic use, etc. most of my spanish is from being like "¿que es ___ en español?" "a, gracias" yk. or context. "¿cual es tu dolor?" as i say "¡el es un diablo!" as i hear. my written spanish is stinky stinky poo poo but I get by.

with a liberal interpretation of the rules, yes. in practice, no. even nb players that are male passing get hate, if you were male passing you either get dysphoria or hate.

I have but I admit I'm not well versed in scientific jargon. Do you have any specific criticisms you'd like to add to the conversation?

posted 1 week ago

Thank you, I agree, I didn't read through the studies very well. I don't do science for a living. Do you feel that there are enough studies on the effects of biological sex on reaction time that we could make a conclusion?

I can't leave this be no the fuck FNS isn't the best aimer in VCT lmao let me find some stats to prove this
FNS has a lifetime KDA of 0.97 and hs% of 40% w/ vandal
Just his teammate Mada has a lifetime KDA of 1.45 and a hs% of 45.7% w/ vandal

I think valkin (can correct me) is referring to the fact that

  1. reaction time might not even matter as mentioned by #6 and #7
  2. even my 15 minutes of research found the claim is false meaning that this argument over biological differences is just people sharing hate!
    Thanks for engaging!

I can't find a scientific reason but I'd suspect a mix of confirmation bias on your part and the same reason teams with all men struggle against teams with all men (skill/practice diff)! Thanks for asking!

Hi! I keep writing this out and then I try to post and the forum gets nuked. Fair enough, shouldn't respond to baiters. Here are three studies on cis Female/Male reaction time that I found when I was told to "search on google, lots of research done" or something similar.

  • https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4456887/ - Says that yes, sedentary men and women compared shows men have a slightly faster reaction time. However, active participants had equal reaction time. No biological difference in athletes. So if say I was meL (fit as fuck), I would have an improved reaction time equal to a man.

  • https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-16045-1 - Studied reaction time in driving. Found that yes, men had a slightly higher reaction time--when they only steered. Women would have a +0.022 ms difference but would both steer and brake. I would argue in esports this is comparable to men being able to move the mouse onto the target, but women able to also click.

  • https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.2044-8295.1980.tb01766.x - I didn't actually read this so roast me accordingly (science calls for it) but the abstract does support the claims of the second study, that women are able to make choices faster where men move faster, effectively making their reaction time the same when actually doing something.

I encourage those who are "concerned" about a biological difference in gaming to bring their own studies for us to discuss intellectually.

Hi! I found some studies on google, I think this is the first that comes up (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4456887/) It found a small increase for men when they identified as sedentary but between women and men that were active they had a negligible difference explained away with the small sample size. So women that work out can have the same reaction time as men that work out. It's a tie.

This is the second (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-16045-1) it shows that a minority of men have a faster reaction time, they only do one task (steer) while women have a slightly slower time (0.018 ms) but can do two tasks (steer and brake). This implies that the reason for a woman's slower reaction is that they react smarter. I would say in esports you have to do more than just move your mouse, you have to click, which actually gives women a point here biologically.

Third (https://bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.2044-8295.1980.tb01766.x) I can't access it because I'm not a British student but the abstract says women actually won out on reaction time.

If you'd like I can keep investigating this, but I think I've proven my point.

if theres no biological difference in indian players and american players how come american players are more often in vct than indian players? its because of social differences duh

i agree split and bind probably the bans. i think sr is weaker on haven then they were at the start of the tourney since they relied a lot on set plays and those are able to be read now. im rooting for pearl, ascent, and sunset.

posted 1 week ago

i saw it in the comments on the match but i wanted to discuss it in more detail
#80 filter

With split and bind most likely being the bans we’d see
haven - SR win 80/20
Sunset - MIBR win 65/35
Pearl - SR win 70/30
Abyys - SR win 55/45
Ascent - 50/50

gosh i hope for pearl ascent and sunset i think theyd be really close matchups

why do you guys only share your hate? every time i come on here theres posts about how much you guys hate. can you please post nice things for people to engage with? why are you so focused on hate when you could be talking about traffic or weather or fashion, normal things. doesnt this suck for you guys too? always being so angry?
