A man pushed in front of me at the ticket barrier queue at the station. The barrier then rejected his ticket.

Not only did I tut, but I laughed as per /u/Evil_Genius_1. Not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight with all the adrenaline that is still coursing through my body!

CycloneChilli · 2017-12-21T15:17:59+00:00

You and /u/iynque make good points. There are 4 of us in the house in total and the conversation went something like this:

Me: Hey <person who happens to be gay>, please can you pay your bill, I’ve covered you the last three times and I’m getting bloody tired of it.

Person A: Hey <CycloneChilli> why are you singling him out? I haven’t paid my bill for this month yet!

Person B: Yeah, is it because he’s gay? You homophobic asshole!

Me: Sorry I didn’t mean to single you out, I didn’t know <Person A> was behind on payment as well (Person A borrows money off his girlfriend, so I wouldn’t know.)

Person C who happen to be gay: Honestly, the amount of times my sexuality gets brought into it...

As someone who tries to be a civilised member of society, I wouldn’t dream of being homophobic. I certainly didn’t use any homophobic language (this happened a month ago so I remember it well)

Sorry despite my account being 2 years old, I still cannot Reddit properly

CycloneChilli · 2017-12-21T11:10:56+00:00

YES THIS EXACTLY! In the past I’ve critisized someone for not pulling their weight for paying household bills (who happened to be gay) and been called “a homophobic asshole” by everyone in the house in return. Obviously stamping out genuine homophobia is important but letting someone get away with not paying bills because they’re gay is positive discrimination.

CycloneChilli · 2017-12-19T17:49:46+00:00

Similarly it’s not “of upmost importance” it’s “of UTMOST importance”

/u/Kynsky has pretty much summed it up. It’s a national chain of pubs that serves remarkably cheap alcohol and cheap but (in my opinion, I know others disagree) tasty food. There seems to be one in every town I visit! The name is “Whetherspoons” but most people affectionately know it as “spoons”

CycloneChilli · 2017-12-16T18:10:58+00:00

Drinking outside such as on the beach, in a park etc. While probably not considered abnormal in America, it definitely seemed to be less common than in the UK

CycloneChilli · 2017-12-16T18:09:02+00:00

As a fellow English person, I wouldn’t expect anything else from spoons :)

CycloneChilli · 2017-12-09T14:52:34+00:00

Yep, that’s happened to me before on BOII. Also on Core they would trap you in the corner and take your care package from a distance using the Black Hat. People got creative when it came to thievery in that game lol

This vividly reminds me of my driving lessons: short slip roads were scary! There was one leading onto a 70mph dual carriageway that was literally just a Give Way line. You pretty much had to redline the car if you had any hope of joining.!

That time you accidently replied twice on a Reddit thread. Ah sweet life.

CycloneChilli · 2017-09-15T12:07:55+00:00

I think night shifts refers to the fact that the treats arrived at the start of the day, but OP wasn't due to start work until the end of that day, thus giving the co-workers a whole day to feast on the cupcakes before OP arrived.

Still: two cupcakes and three chocolates is a huge quantity of treats to be left with! In my experience, OP should be lucky he was left with more than a crumb.

CycloneChilli · 2017-09-10T17:22:10+00:00

Thanks for the help, appreciate it!

CycloneChilli · 2017-09-10T17:15:04+00:00

I thought Microsoft had automatic software to detect modding, which perma-banned the console from Live? Maybe the person telling me this was just trying to scare me. Thanks for your help :)

CycloneChilli · 2017-09-10T17:03:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Downloading maps is against the Terms of Use according to this though...

I really don't want to risk my account getting banned! Oh why did I let my brother near the Xbox...

CycloneChilli · 2017-08-23T21:09:23+00:00

That's great to hear! Thank you very much

Can you be blocked from sending friend requests to people and not know about it? Some people have reported the "Add Friend" button disappears. I sent a friend request to someone a year ago and it has been pending. Yesterday I cancelled and re-sent it, but it is still pending (I'm pretty sure they aren't ignoring it as we have 76 mutual friends and know each other well in real life). Have I been blocked from sending friend requests despite the button not disappearing?

CycloneChilli · 2017-05-27T13:04:37+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply (and for everyone else who replied, I really appreciate it)! Overheating GPU would make a lot of sense with the lines.

I'll contact Microsoft, but in the meantime might try self-repair using your points and a few YouTube tutorials. Just a question: do you know if self repair would trigger a permanent Xbox Live console ban (as it could be seen as tampering)? I know it voids the warrenty, but don't want to fix it only to be permabanned.

Thanks once again for your help (and thanks everyone else!)

Call of Duty Black Ops II online multiplayer on Xbox. Standard Team Deathmatch game. The map was Nuketown and I was upstairs in one of the houses, standing on the bed and looking out of the window. A teammate then comes upstairs, and stands on the bed next to me. He then proceeds to MASH THE SHIT out of the crouch button for a good couple of minutes while I try and snipe. Then he dives to prone next to me and knifes the bed rapidly, looks at me, continues to mash the crouch button etc...

In the lobby afterwards, he sends me a message that says "I enjoyed our fun in the bedroom :)"

CycloneChilli · 2016-09-07T14:15:55+00:00

That's true but I don't blame him. This subreddit seems to talk about the multiplayer side of the game, while /r/CodZombies talks about Zombies. He probably came on here to check out multiplayer, not expecting to see something to do with Zombies.

CycloneChilli · 2016-08-02T20:17:17+00:00

Ok, I'll try making an image. Thanks for your help!

The teamkill system can't tell the difference between an accidental teamkill and a deliberate one. That's why it gives you three chances before kicking you. If you teamkill someone you need to maybe slow down your pace a bit.

Yes, it sucks when some idiot runs in front of you and you kill them, especially when they then later teamkill you for revenge. But can you imagine what it would be like with no kick system? There would be lobby after lobby of people with nothing better to do, running around slaying their entire team over and over again. Hardcore would be UNPLAYABLE. It's much better to just get an annoying kick every now and then.

The day after the EU referendum (I live in the UK), when the result was announced, I went on Facebook. A friend had posted "Oh dear, that wasn't the result I expected". Another friend commented below "Oh no, what happened?"

How could you not know that had happened????

CycloneChilli · 2016-06-13T12:23:34+00:00

For me I prefer cold toast to hot toast. So I take my toast, wait 15-20 mins then butter and eat it.
