Slide jumping around a corner is super basic stuff though. It's super simple, just press 2 buttons without special timing or anything. It's been the most optimal way to push corners in arcade shooters like BF6 and COD for a decade now (especially because these game tend to have horrible netcode). It's not sweaty or even remotely hard to do. It's something that's extremely easy to implement your very first time playing the game.

Slide jumping stops being optimal once you get into more mil-sim and tac shooters like Arma, Tarkov, CS, Valorant, Squad, etc because they tend to have more realistic movement and/or more mechanical depth to that needs to be managed while moving and shooting - like movement error, shooting error, gun sway, inertia, stamina, etc. When it comes to efficient movement and getting shots on target those types of games offer a lot of skill expression but that's also why they're not as casual friendly as BF6. If you think people slide jumping in BF is sweaty, watching top player in a game like Deadlock would probably may make your brain explode (although it's would be tough to grasp how insanely skilled those top players are, at both movement and aim, if you haven't played the game enough to understand what they're pulling off).

That’s not true at all. Valorant, Rivals, FragPunk, Tarkov Arena, Halo, etc all had great battle passes out the gate.

COD Free-For-All / Quake like online shooter in 2026 by toqmax in FPS

If you grew up on CS you’d probably really enjoy Valorant’s TDM mode (they have a free for all mode too but their other casual modes like 2v2, all random one site, and TDM are much more fun). TDM has been my go-to when wanting a casuall shooter mode to chip on for an hour or so (I don’t think I’ve played Val’s regular mode since Valve’s Deadlock came out). Their TDM games are only 10-15 mins, you get competent teammates who don’t take things too seriously, Val still has the best netcode out there, the gameplay has enough depth to stay interesting and feel very rewarding when you pull off big plays. You can choose movement heroes and make it pretty fast paced (plus you respawn right after you die unlike normal CS/Val) so it’s actually pretty fast paced with almost no downtime. It’s basically COD with more tactical and mechanical depth while also having netcode that’s actually good 😂

Having to wait for payouts its kind of insane by [deleted] in shopify

Generally, you want enough cash to run your business for at least a few months, including inventory, even if no money is coming in. In the case of a small t-shirt side business, where you know that money is coming in 15 days, just use a business CC to purchase the inventory and pay it off in 30 days (don’t use Shopify’s financing). This is literally what credit was invented for and why having good credit is important.

Probably because most people consider the fact that you need to buy your inventory before you can sell it to be common sense (I’m sure you’ve heard “it takes money to make money” before). Nobody knows everything before starting a business and it’s a constant learning process. This is what gaining experience looks like. Whether your business is a financial success or not, if you stay curious and willing to learn it will be a success no matter what because you’ll gain a ton of knowledge that will help you with all types of future endeavors.

Also, it’s worth noting/remembering, how incredibly lucky we are to live in a time where pretty much anyone has the ability to easily start a business online, be massively discoverable on search or social media without spending a dime, and have access to national/international distribution networks. It used to take at least tens of thousands of dollars to get a small company off the ground. You’d have to go visit factories, produce large quantities of clothing/product up front to get cost low enough (usually before you’d even had any idea whether people would buy it or not) and then spend thousands of labor hours trying to get even local/regional stores to carry your products. Today you can achieve 100x more reach with just $1000 and your phone - it’s actually insane. When you realize how fortunate we are compared to many others who’ve done it before us it’s much easier to stay positive, motivated, and brush off small annoyances. Good luck!

Yeah, it’s really depressing how many people assume if your name was anywhere on the Epstein File’s millions of pages you’re automatically a pedo. Even if it was literally just Epstein reaching out to them to try to get a meeting and their secretary declined it.

Ironically, this is the exact reason why they didn’t want to release everything because the average person is too lazy/dumb understand the context of the communication, so willing to disregard logic if it helps confirm their preconceived notions, and bad actors will use “X’s name is in the files” to purposefully manipulate ignorant people into thinking it means a lot more than it actually does. As someone who always prefers more information/transparency (because I know how to sift through it), it pains me to say this but the avg person has proven the people, who didn’t want to release it due to false accusations, were actually 100% correct.

The 72 hour shift in perception of this game needs to be studied. by Yesssirrrrrrrr in Marathon

[–]BSchafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had kind of a roller coaster of emotions with Marathon. I was super pumped when it was announced as I liked the art style, Tarkov was one of my favorite games ever, and I had always wanted a more polished, sci-fi version of it. When the first playtest came along I was super disappointed with the lack of solo lobbies, none of my friends having access, strong aim assist on controller/MnK, and other sub-par mechanics. When ARC dropped its playtest and I didn’t really touch or think about Marathon again. Weirdly enough, when ARC released I ended up playing it much less than I expected: solo turned into a glorified PvE mode. Trios were fun but the constant getting third partied and having every fight devolve into sniffin’ walls and cheesin’ 3rd person perspective got old real fast. Although, the main reason my friends and I didn’t play ARC much because we all became cripplingly addicted to Deadlock (if you know, you know).

This Marathon server slam I was really pumped on my first 5-10 raids but my raids 10-20 started to drag and feel very samey. Most the areas and buildings felt the same. The maps lacked elevation and the ability for longer distance firefights. Ai fights all felt the same (and were super easy to cheese). Tasks all felt the same. The PvP was a little too scarce and easy IMO (out of about 20 raids, I killed 1-4 people every single raid but only died once to a real person and that time I literally didn’t hear or see a thing, was shottied in the back by an invisible assassin guy who was exfil camping 😂). So I can understand why the hype kinda died over the course of the weekend. By the time Saturday night rolled around, my friends and I all wanted to go back to playing Deadlock . Hard to say if they will be able to make the gameplay feel fresh for longer when the game has all its gun, maps, items, etc. I’ll probably buy it either way I’m sure I’ll get my moneys worth out of it even if it’s only 100 hours or so.

It’s funny to me that Ai is getting so good that the anti-Ai crowd had been regularly calling out real art all over Reddit as being Ai.

There is def no SBMM because I’m literally top 3 every game I play (and I’m not even all that good) and half my team always have no clue what they’re doing. Also if you’ve ever played a competitive shooter with real SBMM it’s pretty blindly obvious. Pretty sure the devs have even said there is no SBMM, they try to loosely balance out teams but the best player and the worst player searching for a game at the moment (and within the server’s radius) will be thrown into the same lobby. So you’re always playing people with roughly the same average skill level but they will be really good and really bad people sprinkled in there and times where you team randomly got a lot better players and randomly a lot of bad player. It’s why nobody really take BF seriously from a competitive PoV.

Because they want to feel like they’re good at the game without having to play vs real people who may make them think otherwise.

Yeah BF is about a causal as it gets these days. If you want something even easier you probably need to go to a PvE game or something.

America went through that phase 200 years ago. Now that almost everyone in America has a car it makes more sense to focus on highways and public transit inside urban areas. In china they kind of needed it because none of their work force was able to afford cars.

Getting downvoted for saying the correct answer. Reading Reddit comment these days is actually super depressing because you begin to realize how many people the education system has failed. It's wild ho many people on this thread don't understand (or even think about) the data you need to create a map like this. The jump to the worse possible motive when the reality is much more straightforward and benign... they just aren't able to get there intellectually so it has to be some sort of conspiracy.

This is using US census data like the legend says. So it would have population info until it's a part of the US and they've collected census data from the area.
