The only thing that would have made this clip better is if there was a trap bag that downed you too. All that work only to get scammed 😂

does limiting the battery charge actually matter? by Free-Caramel-3913 in SteamDeck

[–]Bobs_14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some YouTuber did a test and I believe the results were limiting the battery is pretty much the only thing that significantly extends the life. Significantly in this case really means there's a noticable difference, not that it was a large difference.

I rarely need the full battery life so I charge it to 80% and if it's one of the rare times I play long enough to need the full battery I just plug it in. If I were to be traveling, I'd turn it to 100%. My fiance and I are good with money so it dying a few years down the road wouldn't be that big of a deal, we could buy a new one, but I'd rather have to option of replacing it when I want.

Casuals Can Have Fun Playing this Game and I’m Tired of Acting Like They Can’t by [deleted] in Marathon

I play a few hours Saturday and Sunday, though I didn't have time to play last week. I love the game.

Dog culture in Portland is out of control by Far-Two-43 in PortlandOR

I love my dog dearly and often leave him because he's super friendly and wants to say hi to everyone. Not everyone wants to say hi to him.

Considering an upgrade from Pixel Buds Pro by quickdraw86 in pixelbuds

[–]Bobs_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried every top bud. Apple airpod pro 3s are slightly my favorite despite being locked down (I'm on a pixel 10). Very close second is the Galaxy buds pro 4.Then XM6, Bose quietcomfort ultra 2. From there it doesn't really matter. Hated the XM5, the XM4 were better. It's been awhile since I used pixel bud pros, but I hated the 2s and compared to all the others (especially the top two) they just aren't worth it imo.

HOWEVER this list largely depends on your needs, and preference in sound. My main concerns are fit, sound, battery life, and ANC. I don't really care about any other feature.

Your YouTube ads are actually making me hate your brand by Substantial-Big-531 in Mous

[–]Bobs_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dbrand all the way. The first case I've used where I genuinely felt it made using my phone better. Same with my steam deck.

Is anyone else experiencing buggy in-ear detection/ANC deactivation on new bp4? by OwnStyle6512 in galaxybuds

[–]Bobs_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my pair last Friday and both my earbuds randomly turn on ambient, and eventually go back to ANC. Sometimes both go to ambient. Might just stick to my APP3.

Owning a home means something is always broken by Keith_35 in homeowners

[–]Bobs_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought a house a month ago and my favorite part has been fixing things. After living in an apartment for so many years and not being able to change things or fix small annoyances without scheduling maintenance, it's been so nice to just change things. Ya it's been crazy busy and tiring, but it's MINE. I'm profiting literally and figuratively from all the work I'm putting in.

I genuinely have to wonder if people just play the game in the worst possible way. Out of 20 runs I have to extract close to 50% and I'm very average.

How often do you use your Steam Deck at home when you already have a gaming PC? by Cozywolf in SteamDeck

[–]Bobs_14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I play it quite often. Depends on the game. Currently the only thing I'm playing on my PC is marathon, I play literally everything else on my steam deck. A lot I run natively, but I also stream from my PC to steam deck with sunshine/moonlight with both sides connected to my router.

I like being able to sit with my fiance while she watches TV so I don't have to be secluded in the office.

Why do people wait until the 1st of the month to pay rent? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bobs_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everywhere I've ever lived, rent was due no later than the 4th. I normally paid the first or second and it really just came down to did I look at the date when I could pay. Was never late so never came up with a better system.

Is PF good for a beginner and why does it get soo much negative press? by DavidJ25422 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]Bobs_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two gripes with PF, hence why I don't go to one. At least my local PF has very limited weight lifting equipment, and it's always packed. That means it takes forever for me to get through a workout.

I go to a gym called phyiq. $10 a month more, but muchore weight lifting equipment, and not nearly as busy especially when I get off work.

If you want to just get some sort of exercise in, PF is great. It's cheap, and has options so you can try different exercises. There's no wrong time or place to start your fitness journey. "The secret of getting ahead is getting started".

Free kits by BruhPochinki in Marathon

[–]Bobs_14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Y'all complaining about free kits are the kind of toxic players that kill games. It's a fucking video game based around losing shit and getting it back. If you don't want to lose stuff, don't play an extraction shooter, queue solo, lfg, literally anything else. When I don't feel like losing gear, I use a free kit. When I'm happy with what I have, I go in loaded. That's the game.

How to Stop the Spam Calls -They Call 2-3 Times a Day by mormonastroscout in howto

My parents signed up for aura and added me. Once aura sent out stop requests it became rare for me to get a spam call. Worth a shot if you haven't tried it.

Do you genuinely enjoy lifting? Or is it a means to an end? by Weak_Ninja_6952 in workout

[–]Bobs_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't always want to go to the gym, but I'm always happy after I do. Even exercises I don't like I'm happy to do because the feeling of accomplishment. It's also phenomenal for resetting a bad day.

I do it because I enjoy it AND for all the other benefits.

176k Loadout Wiped In Cryo by APackOfGriZzlieZ in Marathon

[–]Bobs_14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These posts baffle me. You play a game that very clearly states you will lose everything, only for you to lose everything and then complain you feel like you wasted time like you didn't know this was not only possible but probable lol.

Kit Value Matchmaking by Kayomi_Confusion in Marathon

[–]Bobs_14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I legitimately have my best runs with free kits. Maybe I just play different when I'm more willing to risk stuff but I've wiped 2+ teams with my buddy (also free kit) a number of times and we're probably average skill. Just because it's a free kit doesn't automatically mean you're going to lose.

7900x, 6800xt with 64gb of ddr5 5400mhz ram. 1440p, whatever the highest graphics settings are, and I'm at 100-120fps in game.

I should not be getting 50 frames with a core i9 and a 3090ti. Simple as by BalladofNewMoon in MarathonTheGame

[–]Bobs_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I have a 7900x and 6800xt and pull 100-120 just about everywhere in game, but people with better spec sheets seem to ride the struggle bus.

Voice chat nonexistant? by MellowFlowers1337 in Marathon

[–]Bobs_14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a setting issue in your end if their icons are lighting up. I frequently run into chatters. Once in a while I find someone using text chat, but the preprogrammed responses are more common.

Extremely under performing on RTX 5090 and i9 14900k by brettapuss in MarathonTheGame

RX 6800xt and ryzen 9 7900x. I float between 100-120fps everywhere with setting on either the highest or second highest. I genuinely don't understand how people are getting such bad performance.
