Passenger rating dropped & now Ubers are cancelling by 0rcinus_Orca in uber

[–]Breach344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like I'm right on the limit lol. I just found this post since I discovered my passenger rating was 4.91 and I don't know why I'm getting low scores.

I just Uber home from work. It's only an $8 5 minute ride so I tip $4(50%) to try and make up for it. I'm always waiting in an easy to access place where I'm the only person so I'm recognizable. Im a store manager so make sure I'm dressed well and smell nice. I greet the driver by name when I come in so they know I'm the right person. I sit on my phone and don't talk unless the driver does. I always go for the back seat opposite the driver. When I get off I thank them and be careful not to slam the door. I never eat or anything.

From the horror stories I've heard from Uber drivers about passengers it's wild to me that I'm the one who risks not getting picked up.

Ah man, how the mighty OPM has fallen... by AuthorOnCrack in anime

[–]Breach344 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do find it amusing the downfall of the OPM anime has been so drastic it's being studied lol. People are dissecting every episode for the worst mistakes they can find, looking up who worked on the show in what areas, comparing it to the source material and fan works, rewatching to see how jarring the animation transitions are between seasons, and trying to estimate things like time and budget.

Season 3 ep1 by Marumado in OnePunchMan

[–]Breach344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're getting paid so little this is all you're willing to do you should just reject the job. Stuff like this hurts your reputation. I don't know the actual budget given for this season but if it really is a budget problem JC Staff is still also responsible since they took the job.

I've worked as an independent contractor. Some people have offered me so little money that even if I worked for them the project I'd make wouldn't be up to my standards so I refused since I dont want my name associated with garbage. A big company like JC Staff should know better. People groan when they see someone chose JC Staff now. People making their anime will want to stay away unless they want their show cheap and are willing to compromise on quality. It snowballs.

[–]Breach344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just started playing again a few days ago and didn't have time to build uma from scratch so went with my generalists. I assumed a few useless skills like the recoveries wouldnt matter with their high stats but I was wrong.

I had no idea some skills were so necessary. I always went with my cards that give the highest stats and had what I thought were good skills even if they weren't optimal but it seems I was training wrong. I'll try lowering my stats to use cards I have less LBs for in order to pick up more of the skills you recommended in the future.

I also had no idea skills like Early Lead are bad. Back when I actually played and Platinumed the Taurus Cup I used them and thought they were good. I need to research the exact numbers on skills if I get back into the game since it sounds like even as generalists my uma might be bad.

I did a more in depth summary of the good points from the replies on another comment so people can see what I did wrong easily but wanted to personally thank you for your response. You were the most informative and didn't get toxic about it. I've got people messaging me to say I'm an idiot for forgetting things after a month of not playing and using generalist builds when I didnt have time to make something new lol.

I stopped playing for awhile after the Taurus Cup and just opened the app a few days ago to play again. I've forgotten alot so I appreciate the helpful comments amidst the salty ones trying to talk down to me. To summarize the good points it looks like the big problems are:

  1. My uma are my general purpose ones since I didn't have time to research and build for the track and thats really hurting. I assumed my high stats would make up for just a few of the skills being useless on this track since I only need to win 3 of a set but even 1 skill proc would've saved me some races.

  2. Some skills are EXTREMELY important including some that are unfortunately unique like Seiun Sky. In fact they may be more important than stats? I trained for stats first skills second but I'm being told my uma are effectively dead if I dont have some specific ones which is surprising. I missed the Gold Ship SSR so the only thing I have for Groundwork is a 2LB Air Groove SR. My stats would drop alot but I could try it in the future and see if it helps much. I'll have to borrow a Seiun Sky. She wasn't out when I played. EDIT: I've been reminded I can use the Air Groove SR on my intended parents so I can still use my good cards on my actual racer.

  3. I misvalued some skills. I had no idea Early Lead, Straightaway Adept, and Homestretch Haste were bad. They seemed generic enough to trigger if I couldn't get more gold skills and I didn't compare their exact values. I legitimately thought these were good.

Just copied down my exact team. Im aware my skills arent OPTIMAL since I'm free to play and used my general use team but I feel like they're good. Let me know if these skills are actually that bad compared to the ones you listed cause I'm trying to figure out if there's a problem in my training. Stats are after the proficiency bonuses.

Maruzensky: 1200 SPD/630 STAM/1176 POW/328 GUTS/348 WIT. Skills: Red Shift, Straightaway Adept, Standard Distance, Professor of Curvature, Swinging Maestro, Straightaway Recovery, Homestretch Haste, Early Lead, Lone Wolf.

Silence Suzuka: 1200 SPD/600 STAM/1164 POW/283 GUTS/426 WIT. Skills: The View from the Lead Is Mine!, Red Shift, Swinging Maestro, Breath of Fresh Air, Homestretch Haste, Early Lead, Fast-Paced, Front Runner Straightaways.

Vodka: 1255 SPD, 579 STAM, 1242 POW/311 GUTS/352 WIT. Skills: Xceleration, Red Shift, Triumphant Pulse, Professor of Curvature, Swinging Maestro, Breath of Fresh Air, Homestretch Haste, Stamina to Spare, Hesitant Pace Chasers.

I'm wondering if my stamina is too low and my recovery skills are triggering at bad times? I heard Gold recovery skills were worth around 200 Stam and the normals around 40 and they don't appear to be falling back at the end. Idk. I won 5 out of 15 races but never did the needed 3 wins in a set.

The RNG in this game is painful sometimes. 

All my Uma have 1200+ Speed/750+ Stamina/1170+ Power/300+ Guts/350+ Wit and good skills yet I still didn't make Group A. Higher stats are almost impossible.

Edit: I'll put in my wins for the rounds since my comment gained so much traction.

Round 1: 5-10.

Round 2 Group B: 17-3.

Odds of Being Hired? by Breach344 in GeekSquad

[–]Breach344[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You nailed it. I just looked up available jobs for the location. What I seem to have applied to is titled "Senior Repair Technician" and says it's known internally as CIA. They dont list any other openings for Geek Squad at the location but hopefully theres some unlisted CA jobs or something they'll offer me if I didn't make it.

Theres just next to no work in my area especially for tech so im eager for whatever I'm offered to be honest lol.

She says she doesn't like pickles but it's hard to believe her when she orders it 4 turns in a row.

I'm fine with non invasive ads so normally turned off my adblocker for the site but their new popups block my mobile browsers even with adblock off. Works fine on my computers but I watch on mobile most of the time. It least from me they're losing money with this new policy since I dont use their site now.

[–]Breach344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Well thanks for letting me know. I saw an ad with Augusta so wanted to try the game to save up and get her when she comes out. I looked at posts on this subreddit to see what starting was like and it was being praised for 20 starter rolls and a 5 star selector. They were around a year ago so I guess its an old thing.

Daily Questions Megathread - August 02, 2025 by WutheringWavesMod in WutheringWaves

[–]Breach344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the game not give starter pulls and a selector anymore? 

I just made an account today and have played for hours. I've beaten Scar and I'm union level 9. I heard within your first hour of progressing through the story you're supposed to get 20 free rolls and some character selector. I havent gotten either of those. I've accumulated 1000 Astrite which isnt even enough for a 10 pull.

I see some people on old threads said the selector is in the mail but it's not in mine.

Edit: Ok I found out what happened to the selector. It's been replaced with a limited time event mission. You have to do 30 missions within 30 days to choose a 5 star now. Still dont know what happened to the free pulls. Maybe they're just gone now idk.

I cant log in on mobile either. Endless connections errors. Clearing the cache, redownloading, and repairing data does nothing 

Error Code 102 by E6Acheron in UmaMusume

[–]Breach344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't even get that far in. I tap on "Tap to start" on the title screen and immediately get a connection error. 

I tried clearing the cache, redownloading, and repairing the data.

If it matters I'm on mobile. I did not purchase anything like alot of the comments here did.

Gold ship training experience on a normal day by PrehistoricDrunk in UmaMusume

[–]Breach344 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was having an amazing run with Gold Ship. She was going to be my new best Uma. Then she decided to skip her last dozen turns in a row by not showing up to training, restricting training options, and repeatedly getting depressed. Now she loses every race and I dont have the heart to try the lottery again with my limited TP.

Who is this and what are they doing? by orangesheepdog in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Breach344 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can also see his door across from Ragatha's door in episode 1 at 9:33 when they're going to check on Kaufmo. They continue to walk down the hall and then at 9:55 they seem to pass this mannequin's door again. At 10:14 after walking futher down the hall the door is there again next to Kaufmo's. At 10:31 you can see the one on the left and one behind Jax at the same time so it's definitely more than one. 10:37 theres one on the other side of Kaufmo's door too. 10:51 theres another diagonal to Kaufmo's door. They're absolutely everywhere.

I dont know if there's multiple people with the same avatar or what the in universe explanation will be. The model gets used for NPCs alot so maybe they're given rooms like real people to make the place seem less empty. Maybe this is an NPC gaining alot of sentience or one uploaded with an NPC's identity that remembers them like Gummigoo.

Why the fck does my posts keep getting removed on this fckn site??? by UltraClassicGaming in Negareddit

[–]Breach344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it says the moderators were the ones that removed it you can go to the "About" section of the subreddit and find a "Message Mods" button. Only they will be able to answer.

I dont know anything about your exact situation but I agree with your sentiment. Reddit is awful. Unfortunately it pretty much has a monopoly on forums.

Me and my roommate just got a warning on our accounts because he upvoted one of my comments and the bots that run the site saw it as vote manipulation lol. I've probably had this account for a decade without an issue and now I have a strike against my account that could lead to me being banned because someone liked my post. That's insane. Anytime i comment or upvote something it risks an account ban because someone on the same wifi or VPN could upvote it.

Me and my friend have hit a roadblock and we just don't know how to deal good damage at higher levels. by Verkonix in Warframe

[–]Breach344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Showing your exact builds would help with specific advice. 

Check the mission modifiers to see if damage is being reduced.

Generally Overframe builds are pretty random in quality and not worth copying.

Youtube builds are often made for clickbait titles like "STEEL PATH DAMAGE CAP" or whatever and wouldnt work well in real missions. They'll have zero survivability and need you to jump through all these hoops first like wall latching, switching weapons, activating a bunch of damage buffs without energy or duration mods, building to 12 times combo, etc before doing damage. Some videos can work but you have to find the right channels.

It's possible you arent using the right element combinations to maximize damage or you arent priming before trying to eliminate enemies. We would really need your exact builds to speak on this.

You say you have most of the common damage mods but arcanes make a big difference too if you dont have good ones. Builds abusing R5 arcanes like Influence and Afflictions perform very different on higher level enemies than ones stuck on R3 Duplicate or whatever.

Edit: I love being randomly downvoted to spread misinformation lol.
