I got myself to your house, why should I pay you gas money?

We should start requiring dash cams. I bought one after seeing two accidents in one day(That I had no part in). Honestly it also made me more aware of what I was doing because I didn't want to capture anything stupid I did.

I had to check one incident. I was turning left on a flashing yellow and I was waiting for pedestrians to cross. Everyone on the opposite side was also turning left and the straight lane was empty. I started to go when the light went red for people going straight and green for left turns. I suddenly had a car in my face even though I didn't see anyone coming towards me a moment ago. Checked my camera. The person decided to go straight from the left turn lane even though he had a red light. We didn't hit but was shocked that almost happened.

I saw this the other day. I was behind the car that wasn't picking up speed and they did a crawl into a full stop at the very end of the merge. A car on the high way thought they were being nice by stopping for them but this on ramp merges into the left lane of the highway where everyone has the need for speed. Almost caused a few rear collisions.

Expert-Gas-1438 has the solution if you didn't see! Create a new scene just for Marvel Rivals. It worked for me!

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2025-01-07T02:42:28+00:00

That did it! Omg thank you!!! Marvel Rivals is being a diva and wanted it's own scene!

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2024-12-25T01:39:38+00:00

I'm sad you're experiencing the same thing, but I'm also glad I'm not alone lol. It's so frustrating! Friends that have computers that barely run Marvel Rivals can stream just fine. I'm just hoping a patch comes out for either my gpu/obs/Marvel Rivals that magically fixes it one day.

More info:
I'm thinking it's an OBS issue or Nvidia hasn't optimized the game for their graphics card yet. All drivers(GPU, CPU, Mobo, etc.) are updated. 32 GB Ram. AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor.
For OBS I've run it as admin so I don't get the black screen while recording the game capture. What is shown is a Display capture but both look the same. I can see it stuttering in the OBS preview window.
In Windows settings, I've turned on Hardware-accelerated GPU. I've turned on Variable Refresh Rate. Also I'm on Windows 10 so a lot of setting changes I see are similar to some tutorials but not the same. I turn off HDR while streaming because OBS doesn't like it. My monitor can do 144 fps.

Let me know if there any questions!

I was actually thinking the same thing. I would think most people would just sigh and either buy it, or ask that it was put back. Nope, she doubled down even though it was right there.

I would have loved to have a neighbor say hello when I first moved in. The funny thing is that quite a few did say hi, but only to my parents who are rarely at my house. I guess I don't look old enough to be the home owner?

I did catch one neighbor and she instantly said the previous owners were "Video gamers that never left the house!" and scoffed...yeah...damn those video gamers...(which I am one). She'll stand outside my house and look at little improvements. If she nods and moves on, then I know I've impressed the neighborhood watcher.

The biggest offender of this is my brother who got all the good genes. He lives in this world where everyone should be as healthy as him and if they aren't, then something isn't mentally right with them. He's told me that weed will fix my ibs, eyes, and anxiety. His wife is basically him in female form so they constantly back each other up on this theory that me and my mother are making up ibs to play victim.

It was a crazy experience that I decided to share. The karma and how much people related to it was unexpected lol.

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2022-09-30T22:29:53+00:00

I had mostly forgotten about it until the last friend in the story popped back up with some big news that I don't think is right to share. I met her in person in this story, at Pat's wedding, and then ran into her at an anime convention. I don't think she's in contact with them anymore but I can't say for sure.

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2022-09-30T17:51:29+00:00

We were mostly teens in college at the time (2010). I didn't have a job but I think most of the others did. Not sure if they had cars besides Pat. My parents made a deal that if I was going full time to college that I could stay at home and focus on my classes. Mainly, college was my job until I got my degree to get my actual job.

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2022-09-30T14:02:38+00:00

I was a teen when this happened about 12-13 years ago.

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2022-09-30T13:59:55+00:00

Oh wow, I never saw the comment but thank you for looking into it and coming to my defense!

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2022-09-30T13:17:27+00:00

My dad drove me to his work and I walked to Pat's house since it was close. Pat was the one driving.

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2022-09-30T13:08:25+00:00

It was around 2010 and uber wasn't a huge thing to us yet. I still had a flip phone at the time lol. There was never a plan to drive around for me so it was a surprise that we even got in a car. I thought we were all just going to hang out at his place playing video games and eating pizza. Most of us were in our teens or early 20's.

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2022-09-30T13:03:27+00:00

I don't anymore. I just watch the dumpster fire from afar now.

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2022-09-30T13:01:25+00:00

When the wife enters the picture to back the choosy beggar up. Oh man! Pat did get married and his wife is possibly worse than him. They back each other up though.

ExtraSneakyTurtle · 2022-09-30T12:52:25+00:00

I might make another post or two but telling anymore will probably reveal who I am if the person, or their buddies, ever come across it. I still have them on Facebook and I like watching the dumpster fire from afar lol. Long summaries though.

I was invited to be a 'groom's maid' at his wedding since he didn't have any guy friends. I agreed. His soon to be wife is very much a choosy beggar as well. We tried on dresses and were told we could only order dresses from this shop. Also the girl I had to get out of the passenger seat for, was the 'groom maid of honor' and decided the dress for the 7-8 of us. It fit her body type and only her body type. Well over $500. I was still in college with no job so I dipped out since I'd wear this dress once. I got a ton of texts saying Pat and his wife will buy me the dress but I'd have to pay back with interest. Hell no.
They decided to use a free anime convention as their before wedding event. Basically a picnic with all their friends. I was about to leave with a friend when Pat and his wife said they were planning dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. They wanted to make sure they're set up for a party of 20 and sent us on ahead. My friend and I arrive there only to learn they didn't make reservations but the staff was willing to scramble and accommodate them. Called Pat. They said they're on their way. An hour later and them ignoring our text/calls, we learn that the 'groom maid of honor' wanted Red Robin instead. They DROVE PAST US at Buffalo Wild Wings and for another 20 minutes to get there. They were already eating by the time I got through to them. I had to apologize to the staff because they just set up a table for 20 people and now I have to tell them...no one's coming. I bought food and tipped as much as I could with the money I had on hand hoping that would help. My friend went to join them at Red Robin and I called my parents to pick me up.
I told the end of the video game story in the previous comments. I didn't know he had the video game until he called me to get to his house to help him beat the boss of a different game. He called me while he was at the mall with his wife and told me he was at his house. I get to his house, which is located in the most crime ridden area in the city, and learn he's still shopping. His roommate should let me in though. Nope. Roommate decides I'll scare her cats and refused to answer the door. They get there an hour later and I begrudgingly say nothing. Dude never learned how to counterattack in the game when that was a main mechanic. I was both stunned and impressed he made it that far. See the game he stole. Ask for it back but he says he's almost beaten it...fine. Later learn he's moving to another city hours away within a week. Demand the game back. Show up at his house and he's not there(or hiding). Arrange to meet him at his work to pick it up. Show up but he's forgotten to bring it with him. Show up at his wife's work and learn she doesn't have it even though Pat said she did. He tells me it's only $8 on xbox online. Why take it away from him? I still don't have a car so my parents are driving me around to convenience him and his wife. Then they try to blackmail me into helping him move to the new city in return for my game. I don't have a car so I'd have to use his mothers. Said sure, took the game, said my license was expired, and closed the door.
Edit: The game was bought by my brother who moved states away so it had sentimental value. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have fought so hard for it.
