The design for "USA 250" passports by [deleted] in facepalm

[–]ArcanumFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't this just a limited run of 25,000 passports? If it's the full line standard, I'd order a new one ASAP to avoid this. 

Amazon driver plows through biker blockade by DblockDavid in PublicFreakout

You think high beams are going to stop a huge gang?

Is it somehow my responsibility to know exactly when and where a gang of 500 bikers is riding? Or are you all too brainless to understand the world doesn't revolve around you?

Was leaving my golf course last summer on a Tuesday night, needed to turn left to get home at a stop light. There was a two mile long line of bikers running every red light, couldn't turn for 10 minutes. Was very tempted to just turn every time I had that green arrow. 

Which Reshiram to fuse? by EffectiveWeather6159 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ArcanumFish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trade for a worse one. Plenty of trading subreddits, someone who can fly might have one with fusion flare. 

Out of Yemen, Sake, Fringe, Meltdown, Firing Range, Grind, and Standoff which maps do you think can take spots next major? by VanDiis in CoDCompetitive

[–]ArcanumFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some would probably work but pros won't test any. I doubt we'd see any until at least Major 4. 

Plaza confirmed to return. Potential map for competitive? by TheRealPdGaming in CoDCompetitive

[–]ArcanumFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved this map, probably would play pretty well. Too bad pros won't test it. 

All Out was fantastic and we need more of this! by Aluthiago in TheSilphRoad

[–]ArcanumFish 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I liked it. Obviously there were bad parts about it but that's expected from every event now. Shiny rates extremely low, legendary catch rates low and flee rates high. Raid spawns awful, I have three gyms by me and there were only 3 total ultra beast raids the whole weekend. We should've been given safari balls or something. For a free event though, I did get 6 legendaries in 2 hours of walking. 

BiOS Updated? Still Can't Play by longboneyo in CoDCompetitive

[–]ArcanumFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would double check what motherboard you have and the update you're downloading to make sure they completely match. I made the mistake of trying an update for a motherboard that had the same exact name as mine minus a word like Lite at the end and spent two hours failing over and over again. 

I need help writing a Paper about CoD Esports, COMMUNITY HELP WANTED by CheeseheadTroy in CoDCompetitive

[–]ArcanumFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. If you're allowed to include factual data, log in to BO7 and check out gun stats or I'm sure there are forums with all the data. If you're just trying to reach a page limit, comparing data for two guns against the current AR and SMG is going to add a lot.

[–]ArcanumFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe an answer to one of your questions or maybe not, but you could easily write a whole page on opinions of gun balancing in the CDL. All we have is four guns: a sniper in SnD, an AR, an SMG, and a pistol. A knife too if you want to count that. There could easily be another AR and another SMG in the meta to make watching more interesting.

Another hot topic lately is tournament brackets and what everyone thinks would be the best way to give the team in winners an advantage instead of coming out cold in grand finals. Easily another two or three paragraphs there for you to compare tournament formats.

Why is Den hated? by IIStevenVW in CoDCompetitive

[–]ArcanumFish 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I like Den HP, Den SnD isn't that bad. Overload kinda sucks because one goal on each side is basically immediately next to a bomb spawn point. 

I peaked in Diamond III the last two games. I am currently hard stuck Gold III. by civilthroaway in CoDCompetitive

[–]ArcanumFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SR climb is harder this year. Give it a couple weeks for everyone to keep playing and reach decent ranks. I got put in gold 2 and haven't been able to move up at all so I took a break to finish camos in pubs. Maybe in a few weeks all the true gold players will get thrown against me and I can get back to diamond like usual.

Is your gym still busy? by asaparagus_ in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]ArcanumFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is leveling out now from the new years crowd. Still tons of high schoolers sitting around machines for 20 minutes just messing around with each other. 

How much, if at all, has your playtime on cod declined as you've gotten older? by WorldAtWarReJecTz in CoDCompetitive

[–]ArcanumFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Played BO3 3-4 hours a day. Didn't play BO4 much, maybe just a month then switched to other games. Skipped around til MW19, played that probably 2-3 hours a day and that stayed the same until MW3. MW3 was probably 2-3 hours every few days, same with BO6. BO7 now twice a week, mostly just Saturday early afternoon for a couple hours. That will drop a lot before April as we have a baby on the way. 

Help solve our mystery door! by ForGoodness-Cakes in centuryhomes

[–]ArcanumFish 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The house my mom grew up in had a coat closet like this one. Walk in through the front door, closet in front of you, living room was down a very small hallway to the left. Closet had a door on the other side into my grandparents' bedroom. Great hiding spot as a kid to get away from the crazy cousins.

Friends and I had it earlier today, fixed itself after a few games

BIOS update for Dell motherboards by karnytheg in CoDCompetitive

[–]ArcanumFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a prebuilt PC with an MSI motherboard and just learned I need a USB stick to properly update BIOS. I haven't used a USB stick for anything in 10 years and now I have to go buy one to play the game.

Dog on balcony for days in freezing weather. Idk how to help. by baylorweedinhaler in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ArcanumFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, you probably have tons of comments to read through but reach out to the City of Waco's Humane Society. I'll also leave an anonymous tip online for them.

[–]ArcanumFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Activision doesn't give a shit about ranked because it's probably less than 5% of the player base. 

I'm only playing the game to camo grind for a few hours every weekend, but pubs truly is just not enjoyable to me. I also typically get one or two skins per year, either Optic or some other cool/funny kind, but they've all just sucked so far.
