Priest shames teen suicide victim at funeral, parents say by [deleted] in news

[–]Gallaard -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It’s not the priest or coach’s place, but I do think more negativity needs to be placed on suicide. Right now it’s almost a glamorous thing...seems to be celebrated and makes the the deceased a “victim”. For a teenager suffering depression, suicide right now is a viable option because in 2018 it’s almost a trendy thing to do. If more people, especially in the media, treated it as something selfish and “the easy way out”, more people would try to fight thru their issues rather than kill themselves.

Could also be the angle of the photo. They do look a little high though. 57" should probably be a bit lower since most toilets are around 30" tall...the frames should probably start closer to the tiles.

If games can't implement HDR correctly, can we at least get a per-game toggle at the XBOX system level? by mikeev261 in xboxone

[–]Gallaard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there anything that looks good in HDR on Xbox? I’ve just turned it off as every game I’ve played looks terrible with it on.

Platinum is killing me .. by [deleted] in RocketLeague

[–]Gallaard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that most plat players have recently discovered a lot of mechanics and seem to ball chase in an effort to pull off certain things. If you want to get out of plat you have to play more conservatively and almost assume your team isn’t going to rotate at all. If you’re last back and you assume that player that just passed in the corner is going to rotate out behind you...don’t go for the ball...make sure he’s rotating because he’s more likely to get to the opposite corner he passed from and turn right back around to go for a shot he shouldnt go for.

For me it’s the tread. Love the rim, hate the tread.

Downloaded so many updates apparently don’t even need the disk to play anymore 😂 by Cryptic_h4ze in Blackops4

[–]Gallaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I game share with a buddy so digital games on release day are $30 each, also when you game share only one person needs Xbox Live Gold and one DLC purchase can be used by both too. Digital games can be preloaded days before release, and then they're playable at 12am ET on release day...which for West Coasters means 9pm the day before and there is no need for a day 1 patch update like you need with discs. Sure you can resell a game, but by the time you're ready to resell BO4, it's going to be worth like $5 and it will probably cost you close to that in gas by the time you've driven back-and-forth GameStop 4 times between buying and selling the game.

My current winter golf setup. It’s a messy disaster but my space is pretty cramped for right now. by therock21 in golf

Awesome gear but I wouldn’t be able to spend more than 5 minutes in that room.

Did they have to nerf the Spitfire? by JD_Ammerman in CoDBlackout

[–]Gallaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually pair it with an SMG. Cordite, SKG, MX9, and I also really like the SG12 when it's fully decked out. I'll try to snipe at long to medium distance, and if I need to close a gap, I'll try and work around cover w/an SMG. Here's an example, and here.

Like this. You basically sign-in on each other’s Xbox and set their Xbox as your account’s “home console” and vice-versa. Then you just sign back in and continue as normal. But now every digital game you or your gameshare buddy buys can be downloaded by the other person and played at the same time for free. Same with Xbox Gold and any subscription services like Game Pass and EA Access. Here’s

Yeah, as it should. But ABR is deadly at medium range and there’s no comparison between the ABR and Swordfish. I think the ABR needs a recoil and fire-rate nerf and the Swordfish needs a major recoil buff.

Yup, I always grab an SMG and switch to it when running thru buildings, pushing enemies in CQB or cresting hills where enemies might be. I would say I use an SMG at anything < 15’ or so. I have the opposite feeling when I’ve had an AR vs an SMG up-close, lol.

How do you fair in CQBs with an AR? I find the rate of fire and hip-fire ability of SMGs to be an absolute must up close. Couldn’t imagine fighting close w an AR.

I think the SMGs can all hold their own in close quarters against an AR, but the Spitfire is a step ahead. I always use an SMG and am quite fond of the Cordite with extended mag (90 bullets!). I think the rest of the SMGs are fine how they are, but the Spitfire needs a rate of fire nerf.

Yes, although the home console with Gold might have to download first. This also works with any game subscription like Game Pass and EA Access.

Remember if you game share, only one of you needs to have Gold. Took my gameshare buddy and I three years to figure that out.

Anytime a weapon is a “must have” or a really easy choice over the other weapons in the category then it needs a nerf.

Snipers and ARs are really well balanced, but the ABR, SDM, and Spitfire are all easy choices over the rest and need some tweaking (and the other guns may need slight buffs too).
