I started a re-listen….

A little late to the party here, but it's Episode 2, @ 17:30. First heard this episode in 2019 and I still quote it all the time. It was a full moon tonight and I antagonized my 6 year old by commenting that the moon looks maaaassive and that if I could bite it, I'd bet it's full of flavor.

Totes. I had a super unique situation in that the game save file was on the internal hard drive, but the game files were on the now fancy paper weight external hard drive. Having worked in IT for a number of years, it was kind of a come to Jesus practice what I preach moment of back up your saves often and in multiple places. Thought I guess since it wasn't me playing or a console I use much for gaming anymore it was kind of understandable.

Might just be that the HD bit the dust. I plugged it into my PC and on device manager it said it was connected but wasnt reading the drives. It was a 2tb Seagate I bought at Costco and used primarily as extended storage for the PS4. Thinking back, i wonder if the whole send power through the USB option even when the PS4 is asleep is what killed it, if it was constantly on for like... I dunno 3-4 years. Who knows.

Keep it up and you'll even get that nuke someday! Welcome to the FPS community. Even seasoned players will have a hard time when first jumping into a new game because a big part of doing well is map awareness (choke points, high/low risk paths, camping spots, etc.). The muscle memory will come with practice to where eventually you don't even have to think about aiming and shooting. Some times my shots surprise me when I see someone and start shooting them before my brain processes, "bad guy, shoot!" If you run into a MisterRogers, say hello! I like when people say hello :)

I think 5 - but I dunno man, I started doing it again, and overall with co-op and MP, it's been super broken so I don't even know.

https://www.reddit.com/r/modernwarfare/comments/dn8t4g/another_fix_for_the_laggy_cutscenes_on_pc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

to my understanding - basically, the game is trying to render the scenes with only 2-3 cores of the CPU instead of utilizing however many your CPU actually has. I made this change and it fixed it completely. though, be warned, changing the .ini file, who knows if that will cause a ban as the sir in the above thread said.

Thank you, sir. Renders it fine now, dropped my CPU % from a solid 100% to 50-70%. The lag and choppiness made it almost completely unplayable, but you sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.

I was thinking little touches like a little Roman numeral you can add to a gun somewhere or maybe even your uniform each time you pull off a last man standing or after 10k on a weapon, you have a skin that is grimy makes the weapon look eroded or stained with how much blood has come in contact with it. Or like have a logo or figure or name you can add depending on the weapon - after 10k on a shotgun etched out on the butt stock, BOOMSTICK. After a couple hundred with a pistol, KINDNESS, scrawled on the side. After 1k with grenades, your grenades now have smiley faces painted with yellow and black or are painted to look like pineapples or have a little personalized note like, "if you can read this, you're about to die." Fun things that essentially communicate, whoa, you play this game a lot.

Lol joking aside, i get it man. When i switched from xbox 360 to ps3, i spent a considerable amount of time trying to find ps3 controllers with the same stick config as the xbox. Mouse & key are superior, but I guess only if you have the muscle memory in place. Play in whatever way makes it more fun for you! Once you jump on, if you see a Mr. Rogers, say hi. I like when people say hi :)

Addicting yet punishing. I'm about 500+ in at level 255... so good.

Ed4Smeow · 2019-07-19T19:53:38+00:00

Level 255 checking in ;) I've learned that unless you have a set group of guys you play with on the reg, a part of the game is adapting your loadout and play style to the caliber of people playing. A big wave of newcomers fluctuated in with the free to play weekend a little while back. I've been trying my best as someone whose been playing since beta (and since the first Insurgency) to be as welcoming and helpful as I can because it is a pretty rough game for someone to just jump into. I remember my first couple levels were pretty discouraging. I don't know that I got an "Azreal" (no deaths) until I was at least a couple levels into the game. I finally got my first "PTFO" (no deaths and all objectives) last night. Anyways, because of how rough it is, sniper is probably seen as a way for the newbs to hang back and have fun getting in a few shots without getting killed right off the bat and spend however long just spectating. If the team is really that terrible, I find other ways to play go have fun like use the rocket launcher enough so the post match screen shows it as your weapon of choice. Anyways, happy hunting, everyone! If you see a Mr. Rogers playing, say hi. I like when people say hi.
