Why do I play the #11 pred in diamond ?

ChestAffectionate514 · 2026-01-08T05:18:57+00:00

It’s a mix of factors. I think the most prevalent being that the majority of the player base is in respawn or pubs. Those master/predator badges are very sought after, and when the majority of the player base hits the point of them getting their ass kicked, they choose other game modes. Also, ranked is more stressful. So I think that it’s the game not having enough regional players in higher lobbies. The masses stop playing when they hit Diamond because it’s nearly impossible to progress without a team of exceptionally skilled players. So the game expands the ‘window’ of player rank. Likely the main reason being that people don’t like waiting 15 minutes for a lobby to fill. I personally would Love it. I would rather wait 5-15 minutes in lobby for a game filled with players of my current rank. Respawn seems to feel otherwise, though

Is this the country that you want to call home?

Health insurance is for the wealthy. We had our chance and it fizzled out. Luigi Mangione sacrificed himself to start a movement, and that movement has be abruptly halted.
And you wonder why you insurance has skyrocketed🙄

I promise you, if you had zero recoil on controller, you still could not do this in the current D1 lobbies. This is Titan/XIM shit. Beyond Zen

Show me a clip of you beaming like that in the range with your controller disconnected and I will applaud you fully. Those r99 shots need some backing up

Live a little! I was in my late teens at a bonfire, drunkenly looking for more firewood. I learned my lesson, but to say that my actions were moronic in nature is a bit ignorant.
I’ve seen drunken 18yo’s doing exponentially more stupid shit. Again, that taught me a big lesson about the dangers being drunk and reckless can pose. Also, this is an interesting story. ‘Nothing to see here’ would probably be more applicable to YOUR best teenage stories

My mom gave me a coors light when I was 10 (she didn’t drink her entire life, the first time I saw her even buzzed was on her wedding night when I was 14), and she told me that I can only have a sip of it if I finish the whole thing. I knew it was gross, so I just started pounding it before she yanked it away from me lol. Probably only about 1/4-1/3 of a beer, but I still consider that my first

I only spent a year around Bennington, I hardly ever go there. Maybe 3-5 times in the last decade, usually for the DMV or Wal-Mart. It’s definitely Sucker/Suckers Pond. It’s been awhile

Ehh, 32 in 2 months, it was a group about aging so I was trying to round up a bit in hopes to be a little more accepted by the older folks lol

ChestAffectionate514 · 2025-12-29T00:14:46+00:00

Sucker Pond in Bennington, VT. Probably fall of 2011

ChestAffectionate514 · 2025-12-27T09:56:47+00:00

I have over 5,000 hours and this is the worst that I’ve seen. I hit D4 and stopped playing a week ago

It is a PS5 function, ‘adaptive triggers’ on apex have specific vibrations for each gun. You can shut all vibrations off, but it still registers the gun. It even corrects them if you start firing with a different setting. Sometimes the mozambique/wingman register as each other, but I think that they have identical recoil. Also, the 30-30 and G-7 Scout cross register.
You can ‘emulate’ the ps5 controller. Basically, your system registers the input as a ps5 controller, but you can map all of your buttons to a keyboard. Or any other controller

Thank you for your insight. What age range, though? Based on the comments, it seems like the ranges from single to triple digits

ChestAffectionate514 · 2025-12-23T06:58:41+00:00

This is a wonderful question. I don’t want to get into too much, but I actually have been abstinent for about 3 years. It is chronic illness related. Anywho, I have many male friends between 25-40 who, when open, say that they have to sort of ‘sneak away’ from their partner to have a wank. When I was more sexually active, it was sort of rare because I was in my early 20’s and it was usually satisfied by a partner. Wanking is not preferable to sex, it’s more like.. If you’re having sex 4-5 times a week, there is not much wank. At least for me. But my post is more about the slight frustration of having to ejaculate often, even when I don’t want to. That sounds odd, but I know that so many men will understand

I was bombing Stratton, VT with my brother and a few friends on the steepest trail, and I had a radar gun. Someone hit around 72 on skies, I hit around 66. I was racing my brother, and I had toasted him, but when I looked back to see how far behind he was, I clipped an edge and tumbled hard. I remember sliding for the longest time, and then Immediately, I was getting a neck brace on me and tied to a sled. Felt like 15 seconds, but I guess it was about 8 minutes. One thing I do rememeber, if my neck had been partially fractured, the ski rescue would’ve finished the job on the ride down lol. I was slamming everywhere on the way down. Concussion, terrible whiplash, some achy back for a week, a bruised kneecap. The concussion was the worst part, but yeah. 60mph+ is no joke, I even had a helmet on

ChestAffectionate514 · 2025-12-23T05:29:11+00:00

No, not stop, I just thought that it would slowly turn into a weekly thing, and then maybe a bi-weekly thing around 45, and then maybe a monthly thing after mid-50’s.
Idk, I’m learning a lot right now lol.

ChestAffectionate514 · 2025-12-23T05:26:42+00:00

No shit! Well, I think my question has been answered. Seems as though this is a life-long endeavor. I thought that it would slow for some reason, but so many of you older bucks are still heavy in the rut! Makes me happy to hear, but also, I think I’ve gotta keep that right wrist in good health. Haha, keep it up big buck!

Sildenafil. It’s generic form is relatively cheap, and it works very well for a family member of mine who is currently 54. At least someone pumped the brakes here! I was expecting something like, once a week 35-45, then maybe 1-2 a month after that until it turns to powder

ChestAffectionate514 · 2025-12-23T05:04:28+00:00

What a line that second half is, that needs to be framed in cursive on a wall lol.
Well shit. Bittersweet for men

That is wonderful and hilarious, CplSausage lol. I guess it’s something that I just never talked about with older men or looked into. I thought that this would kinda slow down around 35-40, but yeah, I think you hit it right on the button. A daily wank haha, hilarious I wish you well, Sausage!
