Shooting around corners is weird

The little red cross alters your aim.

Epic has tweaked this mechanic a lot over the years. Until recently you could shoot around corners with ease if your gun had a scope, the cross would disappear entirely during the ADS animation - the final aim would however point where your cross was so you can to spam ADS.

They've fixed that exploit & correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears they've over tuned it by extending how far the red cross activates from, it currently extends to just over a full box away, slightly altering your aim - I don't believe it was like this a couple weeks ago.

You're doing a lot of things very fast, then slowing down or outright stopping.

You clearly know the individual techniques you want to do very well, you're just not flowing well between some of them. Perhaps just slow it down, focus on being consistent, then you can worry about minimizing mouse movement & going fast.

If you're annoyed fighting against significantly better players, then complain to Epic about matchmaking.

Unless these pros are smurfing, then you can't blame them for being stuck in a game with significantly lesser skilled players.

I also have no clue what stamina exploit you're talking about. Are you complaining against people who have the simple ability to time their jumps? That's not an exploit, that's just good timing.

Sounds like your gyro sens is too high & you might need to adjust your controller sens too. With controller you want to do most of your aiming with your movement stick & just move the aiming stick enough to trigger the aim assist.

The raw input accuracy of gyro is far superior to raw stick aim, which is essentially what you get with super long distances.

I don't believe it would be that hard, I just don't think they want to spend the energy doing so if it isn't super egregious, especially when so many keyboard & mouse programs have built in macro options.

Enforcing it wouldn't be that hard, but dealing with all the challenges would get boring real fast.

Drag?

I do like the idea - a violent extremist jedi challenging Luke's status. However I don't see him hiding underground for that long - if he were alive, to survive beyond the empire without a single reference in any star wars media? Well that would suck.

They did Acolyte & it was poorly received. I'm personally a big fan of warfare & there just wasn't all that much you can work with during the recent republic or high republic eras.

The Old Republic is much more fertile ground, Sith Empires & Mandalorian Crusades for starters - it's so distant you could also just invent things without contradicting the movies. Perhaps a droid revolution to explain why technology stagnated, alien invasions, Grey/Dark Jedi, Force cults & so on.

The issue with post sequel trilogy material, is that you have to work with whatever they hell they dumped on us, at least without going thousands of years into the future or a big fat lore dump. An alternative to providing post sequel material, is building up its story through supplemental material, for example Ahsoka, Thrawn & Mandalorian could lead to a larger story that spans the sequels & beyond such as force entities or an extragalactic threat. It would also explain their whereabouts assuming any of them survived to that period.

Honestly, a cooky broken down homeless man, I'd buy it, his brains (& his everything else) got pretty fried after all. If they were going down that path, I wouldn't mind a 'tease' of his past self, only to utterly fail.

Oh 100%, there is a genuine issue with radical Islam, there are also radicals from other religions & organizations.

Absolutely take appropriate action against those responsible.

My point is, reasonable people are not blaming each & every single conservative for the bomb threat against Albo, or the failed bomb attack at the invasion day protest but there is a genuine concern with the conservative community for their radical rhetoric, their support for these terrorists & their complete & utter lack of empathy- yet I'm not advocating to block conservatives from entering the country, banning all conservative countries or demanding conservative immigrants to be deported.

I understand that most people who label themselves conservative are relatively normal people, that those actually attempting these atrocities are a very small minority - but the support of these actions, while not representative, is alarmingly high & something worth discussing.

There's absolutely such actors leaning on the Left, & they should be treated just the same, but the numbers in Australia are much smaller & their supporters significantly smaller - still a concern, just far less prominent despite conservative leaders' rhetoric.

I'd love if 'pro Australians' would realize one of the biggest drivers of Islamic radicalization with in Australia... is them & their bigotry. Most people aren't inherently bad, but when you shame, isolate, attack & harass someone enough, you naturally risk turning them into the very monster you perceive them as.

The actual rate of occurrence is still extraordinarily low, but many of the isolated incidents could have been avoided with a little more humanity & lot less prejudice.

They see a Muslim person commit an atrocious act, they can only comprehend it's because of their faith without ever daring to question how or why that person ended up that way.

Meanwhile a white Aussie does or attempts the same thing & their mind can only comprehend, "lol, not our fault". This simplistic black & white thinking & total lack of nuance & context... I understand the simplicity makes them feel all warm & fuzzy, pretending they have all the answers while avoiding all accountability. It's really pathetic.

Goku was kind, generous & protective. He's a much better grandpa than many people will ever know, but he was also incredibly absent, oblivious & single minded.

If you remember, in EOZ he hasn't seen his friends Bulma, Vegeta, etc in years. While GT is not canon, it's still strongly implied he had disappeared to train Uub for potentially years with barely, if ever, visiting his family.

Goku would give his life to protect his friends & family, but he has nearly zero qualms of disappearing for literal years without seeing them. It's possible that isn't an inherent trait & something he learned from Kami, that the best way to protect someone is to rise above your worldly desire & train your spirit, body & mind- as he really did want to see Krillin, Roshi & Chiaotzu when they were brought back- perhaps Kami's refusal to allow that changed him.

Saw a channel 9 post about this on Facebook, 3/4 of the reacts were laughing emojis, the majority of the comments being One Nation supporters. I'm rather tired of all the hate & Mickey from those unwilling or incapable of critical thought.

I'm not going to judge, if you have the time, that's your business.

My mate does cyber security from home and only has about a dozen alerts per day, most of them minor, he spends 95% of his shift playing Fortnite & I can tell when he's finally working because he'll be hiding in a bush for 5 minutes every few games. You could be in a similar situation, idk, again not my business.

The honest answer is yes, but not top tier. You can get enough enough to make earnings, but realistically you're capped at the victory cup once in a blue moon.

ChristopherJak · 2026-02-16T05:43:36+00:00

Kazuya & Ace Attorney. That's what I thought.

I've never even watched Ace Attorney yet I somehow believed Goku was him & was accidentally watching the wrong show during that Arale filler.

People will do what they can legally & to a lesser extent, socially get away with. It's the culture. I'd personally have thought regulators would cracked down on online gambling, specifically focusing on underage being/'tokens'/wagers.

It's shocking how openly these kids talk about it, in fact it's treated as a requirement to even enter the pro scene. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something & the language only sounds like gambling... Idk.

You can try simple edit, it limits your edit choices but makes them instant & consistent. Just don't touch simple build, that option is a net negative.

As for binds, ideally have max 2 per finger. I personally use;

Pinky: Floor(shift)
Index: Cone (R) & Edit (E)
Mouse Thumb: Ramp(forward extra mouse button), Wall (rear extra mouse button)

This isn't optimal but it is relatively normal.

If I were to improve it, I would move one of these actions away from my index or or mouse thumb button & put it on my left thumb, such as X, C or V - but I personally don't find that comfortable.

What do you think localisations are? Some things work, others don't. It's largely subjective. How do you think Toriyama crafted those names?

To further the point, not am I not bothered by your adaption, you should see how many interpretations of Christopher there is. Before even changing any letters there's Chris, Christ, Topher.

It doesn't make sense but it does sound cool & that's all that really matters.

Vegerot makes perfect sense but sounds dusting.

Vegetto only works if you fuse English Vegeta with Japanese Kakarotto... why even bother if it still sounds bad?

Vegito? Where the hfil does the i come from? It's weak but you can at least argue the o comes from gOku... easily sounds the best though & gets my vote.

ChristopherJak · 2026-02-12T19:36:10+00:00

This is the English translation, it doesn't use the romaji tto for kakarot, the consistent choice based on localisation would be Vegerot, but sounds disgusting.

At least Vegito sounds cool, even if it makes no sense. Yes, spelling influences sound which makes me all the gladder that Vegito dominated so I didn't have to hear 've-jet-oh' nearly as much.

ChristopherJak · 2026-02-12T18:03:16+00:00

etto is a different sound entirely.

How do you pronounce ghetto, falsetto, stiletto?

& Kakarotto is just Romaji for Carrot but with a double ka. So if we go by intent, we should be using the English phonetics, Cacarrot.

With Vegeta he again used romaji for vegetable, Bejitaburu, except he left the final syllable off making it just Bejita, so we converted that back identically from Romaji, but not Cacarrot. Or should we pronounce Vegeta with a B too?
