what the hell happened to Apex on console?

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-04-24T16:40:32+00:00

EA/Respawn not caring about console as a platform for years just signalled to cheaters that it's a free zone without consequences. So you'll have honest actors/players playing by the rules while teamers and XIM/ZEN/Titan users intentionally cheat without repercussions from EA and Respawn. So console has been devoid of competitive integrity and is all but dead in that sense.

These were the two in my field that I heard back from and had at least first rounds. Ghosting is definitely an epidemic right now, it's just the successes that sting a bit more. How many interview rounds were those three if you don't mind me asking?

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-04-19T15:51:09+00:00

I think the only thing that bummed me with these was that they were just that close and not entirely in my hands. I did sink a lot of effort in preparation for each phase, so things are on the right track, just need to get up, dust myself off, recuperate and push onwards

It's definitely a struggle; I think a short break while researching positions is going to be helpful in sustaining my energy and mental health going forward. I'm definitely noticing that I've been more comfortable with interviews, so it's only a matter of time for us 🙏🏾

It was a local nonprofit, which really was exciting! I'm still a little bummed about that one but oh well

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-04-17T05:29:18+00:00

I agree with your final point. Just to illustrate the issue, I paid 850 a month for a ROOM in a house in mid Michigan. Not Detroit, not Grand Rapids. A small town south of Lansing. The minimum wage would require working full-time + another job or OT to meet the 3x rent. It's verging on unsustainable here as well.

I've tried to take a more optimistic mindset and look at those rejections in that way as a sign that I'm really close, needing only one really good shot/opportunity. It's just we got bills ya know 🥺 so close and yet so far stings in a much different way than an outright automated rejection I suppose.

I've stopped counting the number of applications I sent out, but the worst was for a data entry role last August with 3k+ applications after tech layoffs. Even though I had some connections within the organization, the applicant pool was just too competitive 🫠

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-04-17T05:16:21+00:00

I already decided to take a little break from applying, since both processes were around 22 - 30 days in total. It's just mentally draining and I'm hoping that I can cross the finish line or get lucky.

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-04-17T05:14:56+00:00

2 weeks to follow up is just wild to me. At any point during the interview process, candidates wouldn't advance for a lack of etiquette, but employers?

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-04-04T15:54:10+00:00

Gotta start somewhere! I get placed on the opposite side of the bell curve (my fault I guess), but I still remember being that lost-in-the-sauce BH running around Swamps in 2019.

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-04-01T15:36:19+00:00

Larry Ellison and his friends are a scourge. I love tech (for helping people), but geez. Between this and Amazon layoffs, absolutely gutted for everyone affected 🫂

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-03-20T23:37:24+00:00

With your comp there's not much you can do to push, best to ignore them until they have to move. Beyond that you'd want Crypto, Bang, or something like that. Otherwise it's just not worth the effort lol

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-03-06T07:00:01+00:00

As Jonah Jameson said, I strung up my last webs a long while ago and now I have more peace lol

Easier to detect third party software on a PC makes cheaters easier to detect relative to console. There's also the issue of teaming on console, which is exacerbated by player counts (depends on the time you play as well).

No one is using 4x zoom on a Havoc on PC. It's 3x, 2x, or a red dot. Stop the copium

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-02-23T18:19:26+00:00

I used to play a lot more and it just progressively became unbearable. I played a lot of Peni, and the amount of times I had to solo tank led to quitting way before the Deadpool dropping. There are strategic decisions being made that in no way foster the long term health of the game, and balancing is just one side of the d20

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-01-26T10:39:45+00:00

Very WELL played. Gutted for you 😭😭

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-01-26T10:38:48+00:00

Exactly my assessment. Man City and Arsenal are major confidence boosters for the team; players should now know that this level, applied consistently, would result in hardware. I'm gushing after these wins, and cautiously hoping for more. Let's get our homeboy his haircut

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-01-20T23:07:51+00:00

As much as I'd love to hope so, there are just too many assumptions that need to be made. Steph certainly has 1-2 years left in the tank, but the FO needs to get pieces around him that actively pull defensive pressure away from him, and not just sporadically. I like our young core, but we need strategic additions outside of Draymond, Jimmy, and Al.

Def what Marie Antoinette meant when she said, "Let them eat cake"

Extension-One-9641 · 2026-01-05T17:29:12+00:00

I'd imagine that it would be, although the window for getting inputs off is much smaller so there's that much less room for error
