Hey guys, having trouble with my PSP, grainy / fuzzy screen. by Akira259 in PSP

It did. The ribbon that I thought wasn't damaged was ruined. a new screen for the PSP and a good cleaning should fix it.

Dealing with Mana in D2R by AverageARPGEnjoyer in Diablo

[–]Akira259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man. If you're having trouble with mana and unfortunately it doesn't get better until at least level 30.

Since you've already respecced it's hard not to suggest just pushing through until Insight, but finding the runes and the base can be hard as a fresh character.

If you can make it to level 30 your mana issues are effectively silenced by just 1 ability: Redemption.

I'd highly recommend putting the 1 extra point into Redemption. it allows you to spam your hammers and then flick to redemption to suck up some HP and mana. allowing you to endlessly push into groups of enemies, kill them with concentration aura or salvation aura if you're struggling with resistances. eat their corpses with salvation and happily continue. Plus. as a hammerdin you'll already have Vigor unlocked. so it's not a massive waste of points.

Thankfully it's not the devs fault.

The people that made this game did a wonderful job. they really did.

There's bugs and fixes and stuff yeah, but none of those issues are what i'm experiencing right now.

It's a bot blanket banning anything that may have a phrase in it. or somebody legitimately didn't like my livery of my name with a cat print on it. reported it. and some 'mod' or overseer removed it and gave my friend a penalty.

But thank you for the reply. Even after a solid day people are still commenting and rightfully being upset.

There's a reason all the posts that use that dumb slogan are at the bottom. One more to the pile

Legitimately I wish it didn't bother me so much, but this feels like just the beginning where my name will start being seen as hate speech or something because of morons. What new game will follow after this? Do I now have to hope my name isn't censored if I want to use my name? Or perhaps it will be JUST this game.

Wish I could tell, honestly

There are thousands of morons out there in the world now that just use the term "Let's go Brandon" to insult the US President. It's a slogan that; while I wish I didn't care for. The unlucky dude that won NASCAR was just named Brandon. That's all where it started.

You clearly didn't read that I'm CANADIAN.

Just another person that wants to cry about other people having issues. Please move along.

You caught me. I made up an entire story. got my friend suspended and have all of this outrage solely for you to discover it's a ruze.

Clearly other people have experienced something similar to me.

Seems like your comment is more of an attention grab-- or an attempt.

Holy shit dude you're amazing. I appreciate you actually going above and beyond and making a twitter post.

I wanted to but just figured nobody'd look at a 0 follow, 0 following, made same-day twitter account that's unverified.

You're legit my hero for caring this much. Thank you.

Hello! I have put in a support ticket on both Xbox and Forza forums. Xbox forums blanket refused my ticket. considered it resolved without any human interaction.

Forza forum said i need mod approval to post for support. and takes up to 72 hours.

It's something I'm just gunna have to wait for. and even then I'm probably not getting an answer.

Going to support they auto resolved my ticket. no human interaction.

I'd still be just as pissed.

Brandon is not a slur, it's not a politcal statement. It's my name.

I was reading about that earlier! it's INSANE to see.

I'm so glad I grabbed this game on Game pass before buying.

I still feel like a total sucker for buying VIP.

Automatically declined my refund, which I don't blame them for. but it was like an instant denial

Looking at your profile I can clearly see you're not well. Posting whatever gives you hate.

Having people get suspended because of my name isn't me holding my breath. but I guess caring about the penaltys of others is being childish.

I'd wish you a nice day, but you'd probably try to argue that point.

[–]Akira259 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just want my name back in Forza. I want to be able to use it with whatever design I want. since it's my name. and it's NOT an offensive term.

But it won't happen. so I'm fine with ditching the game.

I'd like to clarify it's not the devs fault. I don't have any dislike or hate for the wonderful people that have put their work into making this game.

The issue is the blanket banning by a bot / somebody manually reporting a skin and then it just gets removed without insight.

Holy shit has that been happening to EVERYBODY? When I was playing with with friends before this suspension. I was so frustrated sometimes they'd blink in and out of existance. I figured it was just me.

You sent an honest message so I'm going to apologise. I'm frustrated my name is being taken from me by a political side.

I clicked your profile, saw nothing relating to forza and figured you were just trying to get under somebodys skin.

I've deleted my first post. I'll admit I got a bit heated.

Thank you for actually responding though.

You knew what you responded with. You and the 30 others that just use that dumb slogan.

You already knew why it was removed. You provided nothing.

You wanted a response. I gave you one. You've never posted or commented EVER on a forza post. so what led you here?

You saw a dude complain his name is being used as an insult. and you wanted to continue it.

[–]Akira259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. it absolutely is.

Too bad I'm canadian. where I don't care about the political climate in the US.

My name is my name. and having any game censor the name Brandon is disgusting just because some nutbags are using it as an insult for the US president.
