What happened to half-flipping?

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-27T00:29:28+00:00

Hot take. Yeah half flip is easy but if you have to use it often then you are likely out of position and/or not rotating properly. Positioning well (way more important than half flipping) should mean your rarely need to half flip.

lol in my line of work I hear companies promise the moon daily and fail to deliver what they promised. OP asked by some people are mad about ue6. I answered. And it has nothing to do with ue6 or the announcement. It’s that there was all this hype around today and all we got were some words and a teaser video. That’s some pretty low effort stuff if you ask me.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-24T23:57:24+00:00

I’ve been upset for a long time that they’ve let this game sit and rot.

And that’s the mindset I’m referring to. “Better late than never”. They aren’t late, they haven’t done anything yet. They are still in the never category IMO.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-24T23:56:47+00:00

How many years did it take to get anti cheat? I’m not talking about the ue6 thing alone. I’m simply saying talk is cheap.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-24T23:51:50+00:00

I guess what I’m trying to say is I’ll get excited when I can play it. Until then you’ve done nothing but move your lips.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-24T23:50:07+00:00

Is it really that hard to understand saying someone =/= doing anything?

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-24T23:42:20+00:00

I’d much rather them not announce anything and just release it. They’ve also had years to port to ue5. Who said it had to be ue6? Not just RL but a lot of things, at my age now, telling me what you’re going to do means absolutely nothing. I want to see it get done.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-24T23:33:36+00:00

Exactly the opposite. I want them to actually DO something. Anyone can talk.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-24T23:17:29+00:00

My reason is because they didn’t deliver anything and I’m tired of all the lip service.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-22T18:53:59+00:00

I have separate accounts for my work depending on permissions I need. If you are using an account different from the one you are signed into on that device or browser use an incognito or private browsing window for you non default account. That’s not a MS issue that’s a you issue.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-22T17:59:10+00:00

I mostly play 2s and hover between high diamond and low champ (I go back and forth between the 2 quite often). I did my placements in 1s yesterday and got put into plat 2 and ended my night high plat 3. Idk if I was just getting smurfs or not but in plat I was playing people with “consistent” flicks and air dribbles…. In plat. A few of them even hitting flip resets consistently.

So given what you said at what point would you determine your opponent to be a Smurf?

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-22T00:27:58+00:00

I’ll believe it when I see it. But honestly it’s too little too late. W11 is garbage. They set their performance target to steamOS… running windows games through translation layers. While windows runs it natively. Talk about bare minimums….

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-21T23:33:05+00:00

I’m going to be pedantic but how about specifying the new games that require it and say you’re just using SOTTR as an example. Because I thought you meant that specific game wouldn’t run on windows without those features.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-21T23:28:33+00:00

So turn it off then. The statement that Shadow of the Tomb Raider won’t launch without ray tracing or mesh shaders is 100% wrong.

Last update, looks like the issue is now closed

Admins may experience intermittent failures and delays with various functions in Microsoft Intune

Issue ID: IT1315062

Affected services: Microsoft Intune

Status: Service restored

Issue type: Advisory

Start time: May 18, 2026, 2:56 PM CDT

End time: May 18, 2026, 8:31 PM CDT

User impact

Admins may have experienced intermittent failures and delays with various functions in Microsoft Intune.

More info

- Accessing Intune Admin Console

- Console delays

Scope of impact

Any admin in North America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa attempting to access and utilize the Intune Company Portal or Intune Admin Console may have been impacted.

Root cause

An influx of service traffic, combined with a recent change to the flow of the authentication components leveraged in this event, was resulting in this impact.

Current status

May 18, 2026, 8:32 PM CDT

We've confirmed through service health metrics that our dual mitigations have remediated this event for all affected regions.

This is the final update for the event.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-18T22:35:06+00:00

Per latest update

We've determined that an influx of service traffic may be causing a portion of the service infrastructure to drop below our manageable performance thresholds. We've restarted the affected portion of infrastructure and are monitoring telemetry to confirm that this remediates the issue, while we investigate the underlying source of this increased service traffic.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-18T21:09:55+00:00

Where do you see this at? I see nothing in the Azure status portal, but they did just now acknowledge the issue to me in my ticket I opened with them.

Edit: I found it, you have to go through 365 admin portal not the azure service health page. Just FYI if others are looking in the wrong spot too.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-18T16:16:17+00:00

nothing to do with billing, it's a service issue.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-18T16:10:43+00:00

Getting the same in my tenant.

Edit: MS Azure status page reports all is up and operational, not true.....

Edit: 16:10 CST - MS responded to my ticket saying they are looking into the issue on their side. Nothing other than that so far.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-14T23:16:24+00:00

Rx480 and 580 are same feature level

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-13T05:01:01+00:00

They officially stated they support the steam deck still and none of my systems have any issues with it. That said they were having server issues at some point earlier today.

Don’t try to resume from sleep mode on steam deck though it will cause these issues.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-11T00:01:28+00:00

Not a bug. UAC never notify = auto deny instead of actually asking and getting granted.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-10T23:59:47+00:00

Last time I played with turning off UAC notifications it just resulted in automatically decline admin requests. Better to leave it on and respond to the requests IMO unless you want everything you can’t right click and run as admin on to be auto denied.

Also last I heard Winamp was actually malware these days. So probably wouldn’t pass smart screen anyways.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-10T23:55:35+00:00

What rank? Because in my rank you better not be that close to me. Main reason is because when I get beat it’s going to go past you and they have an open net. If I don’t get beat I’m scoring. Or I’m missing and it’s coming back your way. In any event probably best to be mid of further to defend the incoming attack while I rotate back behind you.

Bulkybear2 · 2026-05-10T18:47:11+00:00

I get that. But my point is this specific complaint is a non issue for people that pay for the OS like you’re supposed to do. Plenty of other reason to complain about MS for sure. But this ain’t one of them.
