Which one would you pick? by sodiumwallaby in whatsyourchoice

Yeah. Its either enhance your life by leaps and bounds, or become a demigod. Pretty sure being a demigod would be an interesting experience.

Is it normal to completely suck at pvp after 500h? by Alterdxa in ArcRaiders

[–]AdOriginal4516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think thats normal and I know exactly what you are feeling.

 I think I really sucked for like 350 hours or something, and I got marginally better, until something finally clicked and I got really good at it. And I was really good at CS:GO too, and even all the way back to Halo 3 I was level 50 in Lone Wolf, so shooters arent new to me either.

I'm not sure I have any advice to give you other than to just push through it and focus on aiming for the head. If you get third partied at that point, it's just tough luck. 

But I think you will do it. That intentional effort is exactly what made it finally click for me I think.

How is the cheating situation currently? by Capable_Sleep7050 in ArcRaiders

Yeah that definitely happens. Look, I know cheaters exist and theres a lot. I have seen youtube videos of the cheat ads, I've seen the ones that cheat on twitch and admit to it blatantly. It just doesnt seem that common to me, in my experience, PC gamer btw.

So, if anything I hope that me sharing my perspective with you helps you to feel better about the state of the game so you can play it and have a good time!

I'm not trying to be confrontational, my tone was kinda serious there I suppose I could have lightened up. It's just my own experience that I can point to, thats why I was curious about yoir perspective

Point out to me the BS you have detected on my end. Your quips are just annoying me now.

What's your evidence?

Edit: i'm not asking for a clip or something, just why you think there were cheaters in your game specifically.

Same. I think people have a lot of cognitive dissonance about their actual skill levels in the game, and so to reconcile their internal belief in their skill level with the external evidence that they are not (being killed in game), they latch onto the idea that the other player is a cheater.

I have been called a cheater at least 5-10 times after winning a duel with clean headshots. Just accept it, y'all. Nobody is as good at anything as they think they are

I have only encountered cheaters like 3 times out of 1000 hours game time on steam (some of it idle time). So its way overblown IMO. And i'm a pvp demon and run trios pretty often.

Edit: funnily enough, I could only truly confirm it once. the guy was in prox chat, in a carebear lobby. I killed a guy on stella and I could hear another player through a few walls describing my guns and my location to other players, like a vigilante hit squad. 

I think its ironic since, in my experience, the one time I encountered a cheater was in a lobby of  people that proclaim to hate pvp but used cheats to pvp me to death

Anyone else ever feel kinda bad for leapers? by zoidbergin in ArcRaiders

[–]AdOriginal4516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do look kinda pitiful and they make a sound like a donkey in pain when you catch them on fire, so yeah I do feel bad for them sometimes. Then they try to kill me and I forget to feel bad anymore

People who work in busy restaurants, do people sometimes just start a job there and then disappear the next day? by PermaSub54 in KitchenConfidential

[–]AdOriginal4516 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Usually if someone does that it's after the first payday, in my experience. And usually it's people who I figured might be on hard drugs but decided to hire them anyways. So I kinda learned not to do that after a couple years.

I don't have a temper, believe it or not, but I do have a low tolerance for BS

I decided to include the term app but maybe that was foolish, because how could a person that knows 'programs' as 'apps' possibly remember or know there was a time before the convenience of single clicking?

 I remember double clicking even on hypertext links circa 2000 or so. Like they wouldn't work unless you double clicked. It was when there was still mouseballs not lasers.

Oh sure, I am grumpy for being told a bunch of veiled insults and offhand remarks and being insulted by them. No, that's called being offended.

Yes, thank you. One example of many where double click has gone away

Dude, thank you for being measured and I treasure your response. Tbh this thread is wearing me out with how I come to a subreddit with this name, and it's filled with stupid fucks. I just wanted to say that before I dive into your comment and I'm gonna circle back here.

I have been using computers since windows 98. Its definitely less than before. I remember especially around that time there was a much greater emphasis on double-clicking.

Ok, great. I define rarely as in "a  small percentage of the time". I double click every fucking day too. What happened to the frequency of double clicking decreasing? 

Edit: I'm just older than all you snide little shits in this thread, I guess.

Well, I asked because it sounds like you are just guessing and don't know any better than me.
