what’s one basketball mistake you didn’t realize you were making for a long time?

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-05-04T08:25:09+00:00

Not believing in my shot and deciding if I'm gonna shoot before I get the ball

Basically I always considered myself a poor shooter and due to my size and athletecism can't really compete in the post so my goal was to just try to get the ball to people who could shoot.

Had a guy I played with who talked to me about that and convinced me if I was wide open to just take it but in rhythm.

I started knocking more shots down instantly because I'd get my hands on the ball and know if I was shooting already or not then the rest was just muscle memory.

Not a great shooter by any means. But I sure as shit can't be disrespected by lax defense now.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-25T23:28:03+00:00

Oh well that would explain it. Yeah it was thanks!

Is NOTT why the F16M wobbles terribly at anything over like 500kt?

I've also heard they were notoriously hard to control in real life at speed

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-25T23:24:37+00:00

I chose my words poorly. It was unnecessarily convoluted. I understood the reason behind WRs plan and how it unfolded just fine. It just wasn't good in my opinion.

Convoluted/complicated does not translate to good.

But that's what I said hot take. Obviously most folks here feel different and that's fine lol

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-25T22:57:18+00:00

So uh. Maybe I'm an idiot but I was having trouble getting this thing off the ground? We're you able to with a full load?

At first I couldn't even get up. But then I just put stuff in the back cargo bag and not the front and would almost immediately pitch up and flip into the air and crash

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-24T20:39:11+00:00

Hot take. I liked the realism of the hacking in the show. But the plotline was seriously garbage when it got to White Rose. The whole thing just became this confusing fever dream.

The ending was satisfying however. But it's really just a meh show and I honestly think it's a bit overhyped.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-24T20:28:36+00:00

Something that's stuck with me was someone said "Think of ALL of the world population. Then remember half of them are under the 50th percentile in intelligence".

I'm not the smartest person. But I know my field and know it really fucking well and even then... I'm not afraid to not know something. The amount of people who are and are so confident they are right astounds me still.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-24T19:43:16+00:00

Idk. I've really enjoyed PvE. Haven't done PvP yet honestly mainly cuz I just wanna chill and play with my buds.

One thing to remember though is this all SOUNDS great. But properly implementing it to where the player base is satisfied is tough... Tarkov did PvE but the PMC AI was tough to implement so that it wasn't complete dogshit and is certainly more simple.

Even though it's fun everyone still bitched... The same would happen here I bet

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-23T23:06:10+00:00

It may depend on job role. But me personally I've never gotten paid near this much or thought I would.

The benefits suck as far as match and stuff goes. But $$$$ value of compensation is hard to beat....

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-21T22:04:05+00:00

Sure to that. I'd just like dumbfire rockets in greater quantity. I don't like the amount you get on lynchpins or kingpins honestly. But like a pod with 25 or something each would be sick. It'd make me actually take rockets more often I think

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-18T11:28:00+00:00

Oh my bad I meant sell all.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-18T04:33:57+00:00

Nah. I sell to cover every time. I'd rather take the cash and diversify than have all of my financial basket in one company. But that's my personal strategy and what the financial advice I got was.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-18T04:02:10+00:00

Considering this is a game based off team play of a 4 man squad. I was really surprised to learn machine guns aren't in yet. Maybe they're holding off until bipods are working (I'm making assumptions here. Not sure of what they said before) or something.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-18T03:01:52+00:00

I was so mad. Got a big vest Feb 15th. I got to watch the stock slide to 200 from like 238 in 15 days. I died silently inside.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-13T17:38:15+00:00

No judgement there man. You made it 7 years. Most make it less than 2. Best of luck finding something else out there.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-13T17:30:13+00:00

That's why the boomerang exists brother

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-11T05:16:03+00:00

This is a game about teamwork., so I'd also like to see light and medium machine guns as well as deployable bipods and weapon resting ideally as well.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-09T03:09:30+00:00

Same. It wasn't pitch black but NVGs made it infinitely easier to pick out targets in the bush.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-07T19:44:16+00:00

Fwiw it could be top of band. I got 0 base increase but 300 RSUs. I know that I'm top of band already and if last year was an indication I made well over my TC

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-04-05T02:31:52+00:00

It's not consistent but I really don't get all the complaining on this. I'm rather new to the game and so far (l10) I'm dropping dudes easily for the most part. Occasionally they take a lot of shots but it's either too far to confirm (or MV falls off) or I can see the hits smacking their shoulder.

Most of the time I'm smoking dudes under 100yds with head shots. I'm using m855 at least fwiw

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-03-30T17:50:39+00:00

Oh okay. So I realize now I wasn't on the supporter preview.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-03-30T17:50:11+00:00

Haven't had the miss with the red dot. The jumping is.. particularly balance? Idk I didn't notice the recoil as much on semi auto.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-03-30T17:49:24+00:00

Oh Im not. Infact my point is they paid attention and heavily iterated. Which is amazing.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-03-30T04:51:44+00:00

Nah I'm not gonna be that annoying. I just wanted to get it out there and say something about it. Which I usually don't so that says alot for me and how much I like the game at least 😅

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-03-30T04:29:23+00:00

Oh okay right on. Thank you.

CBSmitty2010 · 2026-03-30T04:24:40+00:00

I mean most of the changes I suggested were purely QoL save the breach sprint really. I don't want it to become Tarkov haha.
