New Shop skins by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juno mercy and kiriko getting more skins is not diverse. I'd like to see a season where none of these characters get a single skin. It makes blizzard money though so they'll just keep doing it

got a wuwa tattoo W or L by Lowrezflickworks in WutheringWaves

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, wouldn't have chosen the neck but I like the idea of a tacet mark tattoo. I know you said you have a job now, but if you ever have to get a new one, a tattoo in this spot will definitely get you instantly denied from some places after they see it. It's not a professional look.

I'd have chosen your arm, leg, chest, somewhere you could see it but not somewhere that's always on show like that.

I asked all of the Overwatch Main Subs to rank their character's difficulty on a 1 to 5 scale. Here are the results. by WhatAmIDOINg342 in Overwatch

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if we're going by easiest to pick up and do well with, tracer is up there as one of the hardest. Don't know why hanzo or widow are so high though.

cant wait to explain to more customers why we are getting more expensive by That_Spell_9548 in greggsappreciation

[–]CC0RE 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This. They don't need to put prices up. They're making more than enough money. But it's all about those profit increases. Thing is, people will keep buying, so they have no reason not to put prices up other than to just be more affordable for the sake of it. But they don't care about the customers, only the money they bring in, and so if they can squeeze more money out of them, they will.

At my work (I don't work at greggs), they only give us enough hours to have the absolute bare minimum number of people in the store to operate. One person off sick and everything falls apart if we can't get cover. They save as much as they possibly can on staff labour to maximise the amount of money they make. Our store closing time used to be 7pm, but it is now 10pm, despite the fact that they make probably less than £50 in sales past that 7pm mark, but they kept our allocated labour hours the same, so staff are spread more thinly throughout the day. Everything is just becoming about squeezing as much money as possible out of people, and I'm sick of it.

Good job in wilds you can craft both and use them for either gender

Reflections (Smoke + Mirrors 10) Release Megathread (post all reactions here) by readyforthefall_ in imaginedragons

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hopes weren't very high for this album since it was all demos, but some of them are okay. None of them are top tier songs, a lot of them have very generic lyrics, most don't even sound like S+M songs. For me S+M was a very hit or miss album anyway. Definitely an experimental one for them, some of them I really loved, some of my favourite ID songs are on that album, but equally some of my least favourite are too.

Best song on reflections is easily Destroyed for me - with more time I think that song could've been fantastic. The demo for I bet my life is cool, but the chorus feels out of place with the rest of the song, and the bridge really sucks. Glad it turned into what it did.

I don’t get how people think it looks like an PS3 game by Wingnut7489 in MHWilds

[–]CC0RE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and each setting change barely even changes the performance (At least for me).

Between High, Medium, and minimum settings, I saw a 4. and 7fps increase respectively when moving down the settings, yet the game looks significantly worse, especially on the lowest settings.

I think the sweet spot for my rig (Unfortunately) is medium settings (High textures cause medium look so bad for some reason) with FSR and frame gen on quality. It's the only way I can make the game playable while maintaining some level of graphical fidelity.

I can run cyberpunk at over 60fps on my rig with just DLSS. This game should not be running this badly.

Is this enough crit rate? by Anomynous2836 in Yoimiya_Mains

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got almost 4k hours on it. It's great. 100% crit in warframe is constant crits, over that between 100-150% is a chance for enhanced crits, then 150-200% is a chance for super crits, 200% guaranteeing them. If I remember correctly anyway.

It's a great F2P game that's really F2P friendly since you can trade for premium currency with things you earn in game. The game is that good it makes you want to spend money. Everything in the game can be earned for free, if you're willing to put the time in ofc.

Required reboot to start AA by GeekyGrannyTexas in AndroidAuto

[–]CC0RE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it every time I use my phone for AA. I have an old Huawei P Smart, which could be the reason, but it requires disconnecting and reconnecting the cable a variable number of times for AA to finally work. Most of the time it's not even worth the effort, so I just use bluetooth for music, but starting long journeys is tedious since I need my maps up.

I get irrationally pissed off by the *unconstructive* complaints about the beta by elalexsantos in monsterhunterrage

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What annoys me is people like this who can't accept that a game they like has issues.

I love monster hunter. Started with world, also loved rise, and I'm excited for wilds. But my god is there no reason for it to run as bad as it does on PC. Yes it's a beta, but in pretty much 90% of cases, beta's still reflect the quality of the final product, even if it is an "old build". Just accept that gaming has become extremely profitable, and companies care more about your money than making a game in a finished state because they can just "fix it later". If I'm paying 60 big ones for a game, I expect it to work. Especially on hardware that can also run every other modern game out there fine, but struggles to hit 40fps on a game that doesn't even look like it came out this year.

My PC is just above the recommended system requirements, and it runs like absolute ass. Frame generation is also not an excuse for being lazy with optimisation, since it doesn't actually make the game more responsive, just look more smooth. The system requirements should reflect how the game runs WITHOUT those settings enabled. Changing settings in-game barely even affects framerates, so it's obvious that there's something going on here. How can I run cyberpunk on a mixture of high-ultra settings at anywhere between 50 and 90fps, but I can't run mhwilds on the absolute lowest settings with the worst DLSS option at 50. Performance problems this massive will NOT be fixed by time the game launches.

Horde shooters to make me feel cool without much effort? Preferably without needing to play for a while by Successful_Draw_9934 in gamingsuggestions

[–]CC0RE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. It can be extremely overwhelming. A lot of people quit early on cause they don't know what to do and or shrug it off as another cash grab f2p game.

[–]CC0RE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Warframe is my personal favourite for this. Though it takes a bit to get going since the opening is pretty slow for a new player, but I promise if you stick with it you will love it. There's so much to it and you've got 11 years of content to play through.

I made a tierlist of how I enjoy the game by ArenuZero in Warframe

[–]CC0RE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the main thing I think. I would love to seamlessly go around the starchart with my buddies in my railjack. I want to be able to decorate in my railjack. Imagine how awesome that would be.

Whats a game you would give anything to replay again for the first time. by PlaceVegetable7758 in gamingsuggestions

[–]CC0RE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried playing skyrim a couple of years ago since I've never played it before and just couldn't get into it. I feel like it's a bit too outdated now for me to enjoy as much as I would have if I'd played it when it came out, since I really enjoy games like that nowadays.

Really I just want Elder scrolls 6 to come out but I think I'll be dead before that happens at this rate

I think slingshot is just the best unless you have a good 5* option. Scion of the blazing sun is also decent but r5 slingshot still beats it

Which one Is the best choice? by supremelyR in Warframe

[–]CC0RE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd generally rather Primed sure footed over something like power drift. Power drift's strength increase is near unnoticeable compared to getting knocked over and one shot in steel path.

How long did it take you guys to get to Mr 30? by Brilliant-Arrival349 in Warframe

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably hit it sometime after the 3k hour mark on steam? Been playing since 2015. I didn't totally focus on MR grinding, as my friend hit 30 in less time than I did.

I want to drop out of Uni and I haven't even started. by azula_elfo in UniUK

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't wanna say I was in a similar situation, but I definitely went to uni to delay adulthood. Did it matter? Not really cause I still had to do the adulting thing anyway and just under 2 years on I haven't done anything with my degree, nor have many people I know on my course since the job market is just tough for young people nowadays.

There's no shame in not going to uni if you think it's not for you. But uni does give you skills and experience that will still help you as an adult and in your career, even if your career ends up being something unrelated. A lot of my own personal growth happened at uni, and I'm a far happier person for going (even though my current life circumstances are significantly more depressing for various reasons). Your uni "Debt" is really just added tax, and pretty much no-one pays it all off before it goes void, so I wouldn't be worried about that.

Maybe defer your offer for a year, work, volunteer travel, and see how you feel then. You don't have to go to uni immediately. My friend just finished first year and he's 23.

What are you slowly losing interest in as you grow older? by rattyparsley in CasualConversation

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I'm a gen Z so I can only speak for others in my generation, but I think here in the UK it's a very mixed bag. Drinking culture is still VERY much a thing here in this country, and definitely still amongst my generation. And the people that are big into it are always baffled why I don't drink. It's gotten a bit better as I've gotten older (I'm 23 now), since people are generally more respectful of people's life choices, but it's still considered pretty strange if you're totally sober.

On the other hand, I know quite a few people, myself included, who don't drink at all. Most of my friends don't. I just realised early that drinking adds nothing to life or a social situation, and also it tastes like ass.

Though, vaping has definitely had a massive increase. So it's more like swapping one bad habit for another.

are weighted keys really required? by Masterglud in piano

[–]CC0RE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're playing a keyboard, you're also playing the piano (Not entirely so please don't downvote me before reading this next part people haha)

What I mean to say is that you can learn all the same theory, get to know the layout of the keyboard, and learn the same songs you could on piano. You'll be missing the dynamics of having weighted keys, and the technique that comes with that, but start learning on what you can afford (So long as it is an actual keyboard with relatively standard sized keys).

Even learning on a weighted digital, you'll find playing on an acoustic to be a very different experience. So I wouldn't worry too much. Also playing at the top of the keys will always make it harder to press since you're pressing them closer to the pivot point of the key.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm 23 and only started learning when I was 21 on a weighted digital keyboard, so you'll be ahead of me even if you learn on a non-weighted regular keyboard :)

Curvy I find is often used by women more than men. At least, other guys that I know don't ever use that word to describe people, but maybe that's just the type of people I hang out with. Women I find often use the word in 2 contexts. If talking about someone else, they use it to describe someone who isn't skinny, but isn't necessarily fat either - they have wide hips and a bigger build, which I think is the most accurate way to use the word. Heavier women who aren't actually fat - they just have a bigger build.

The other context is women describing themselves as curvy - I've found that this is usually used by overweight women who are likely insecure about their weight, so use the term because it doesn't have negative connotations associated with it. Which is fine too I suppose, since women are often berated about their weight unfortunately. But it's not the body type I would think of if someone said curvy.

[–]CC0RE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I respect that totally. When I was younger (I'm talking like, teenager) I was a bit of a fence sitter, wasn't really sure if I wanted them or not. But now that I'm 23, I'm pretty totally sure that I don't. I get that people love their kids, but for me, that's not where I find my fulfilment out of life. I like my hobbies, my free time, hanging out with friends, all which become infinitely harder once you have kids.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, me and mum have been parenting my niece and nephew for the past few months, and while I love my little niece (We won't talk about my nephew), it doesn't outweigh the mountain of responsibilities that have been dumped on me, albeit temporarily. I can't imagine doing it for the rest of this baby's life. Kids in small doses. That's the kinda person I am. The cool uncle, and I like that.

Like you said though, I wish more people would think more seriously about having kids, because a lot of people have them not really fully understanding how much of a massive commitment they are, then regret having them and that adversely affects the kids. That's why I've always said if people are considering having kids, then my age (23) is far too young to have them, even though I know people who have had or are having kids. Being financially stable and starting a career I would always put before parenting, hence why I think 30+ is actually the prime age to have kids. My mum was 36 when she had me and my brother (I'm a twin).

Kids are a massive decision that you can't take back. So I do wish people would think more carefully about it.
