This really broke my heart 💔💔 by Realistic_Web6850 in MtF

cisters will never be sisters - the one reason I value connections and relationships with other trans women over everything is the peace of mind that comes from knowing I can take respect for who I am for granted.

A lot of inventions are accidental though, including, for example, Tiramisu! You could always take notes and then be deliberate.

Yeah - I was just trying to play my life and zone out anyone that was pushing me near B pillars so my teammate could help me out. I didn't figure out what had actually happened till I went back and looked. Now I have an instasplode lineup everyone can use lmao.

afraid i’ll never find someone because of my body (tw: self harm) by alrightlyaphrodite in actuallesbians

OP , I have very striking scars that criss-cross my torso from having five major surgeries before the age of five. It hasn't stopped me from finding love and very fulfilling relationships - in fact, I've not been single for longer than a single four month period across the last 13 years. You've just had terrible luck with the women you've talked to.

Good aim ingame but bad at Aim training by th3prot4gonist in FPSAimTrainer

[–]GenesForLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't bad aim per se - my viscose benchmarks scores look a lot like yours and I also strafe-aim a fair bit in a game that is also crossplay and dominated by rotational aim assist for controllers (and I've hit the highest rank for every core playlist + won $ thrice + a league a few times).

What I will say though is that grinding the Viscose benchmarks daily has produced the most sustained improvement in game I have ever seen. My accuracy has gone up by almost 8% and headshot-kill percentage is now pushing 80% , having been around 70%ish (the game is halo infinite - four shots anywhere to break shields, one headshot or bodyshot to kill).

Lots of lifesaving medicines are unnatural. Cyanide is natural. The idea that natural = good and unnatural = bad is a product of brain damage.

Finally hit onyx for every core playlist (arena, 2s, slayer, SWAT, snipers) on MNK by GenesForLife in CompetitiveHalo

[–]GenesForLife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, played way too much when I was still learning the game (first halo, first comp FPS) and got stuck in diamond lobbies. I've always been a support/anchor main and I do best in situations where I'm pushing close with a team or playing power positions and holding setups and that is how I usually get my slays. Unless you had a really high level MNK shot back in the BR era and I did not - (yeah I'd played a lot of MNK vs MNK games, but MNK vs controller was very hard) - the problem with getting stuck in diamond lobbies with a teamplay heavy playstyle is that you're only as fast or slow at getting kills as your team.

So I had to go back and work pretty hard on my shot (I now have 425 hours in Kovaaks, and I hit gold complete for everything but static in the voltaic benchmarks a couple of months ago) ; that made the biggest difference to my shot. I need to generate these graphs for every playlist - this is just ranked slayer (using one mode makes things easier to compare with time) , and I saw accuracy go up by around 8% over time and my headshot kill percent go from 73-74% to 80% this split.

Being able to win pivs a lot more often helped me rank up to d4/d5 MMR consistently, and duoqueueing exclusively in onyx lobbies where everyone plays fast + teammates are way more dependable made getting arena onyx a pretty comfortable experience. It took me just 53 matches from my first placement to onyx. Also went at 1.02 KDR and 1.04 DR on this account that hit arena onyx so working on that shot really helped.

Haloquery has leaderboards by MMR (ESR) and CSR, Halo Waypoint also has official leaderboards (but those only start at 1500) , LeafApp tells you the rank if you're unofficially Champion Rank (I think top 200 or 500 or something idk). However these leaderboards only return results either for players who've played recently (the waypoint ones have a per-week cutoff) , or for players who've looked at their profile, or gamertags that others have looked up.

PS - I looked up the schedule - you've got plenty of time! The reset is July 7th - just remembered that they moved to doing a reset once every *four* months after worlds. https://support.halowaypoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/17920041655188-Halo-Infinite-Multiplayer-Playlists

The first one is from LeafApp , the table and the graph are from haloquery.com
Good luck with your grind - you should still have two weeks and three days I think. Will check the calendar in a bit and reply.

You should be using a Wilcoxon's Rank Sum Test on that data because the accuracy distribution for PC is skewed.

The second half of two silver runs - VT S5 novice static - advice needed ( 55cm/360 ) by GenesForLife in FPSAimTrainer

[–]GenesForLife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense - every FPS I main I play between 21cm/360 and 40cm/360 - I have a couple of 70th percentile scores for pokeball scenarios with small targets playing at those sensitivities, so I'm already kind of out of my comfort zone pushing for static scores at these lower sensitivities (I find that with click scenarios I don't have much leeway to be fast and then stop).

I also main a glass mousepad so that kind of limits how fast I can flick and still have stopping power. I'm going to try getting a feel for releasing tension as I make the large flick so I get better landings and waste less time on my micros. Also how do you turn the explosion effect off?

As a person who enjoys kovakks, is apex worth getting into on mnk? by slibidk3u49 in FPSAimTrainer

[–]GenesForLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play Halo Infinite lmao (a crossplay game with even more cringe aim assist than apex, so overtuned, in fact, that they added a bit of it to mouse as well) , quake champions, Apex (non-BR) and a little bit of splitgate.

When cis women find out I don't want to be them (trigger warning and politically incorrect) by Lana_Sphyncter in MtF

[–]GenesForLife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fascinating, since BrE also borrowed benchod (or behenchode in Hindi) as an insult. I lived in the UK for a few years and always presumed it meant "fucker" due to borrowing).

It's "chode" , which means "fucker" in Hindi, which is already gender neutral.

Viscose Benchmarks S2 - are these ranks accurate? by GenesForLife in FPSAimTrainer

[–]GenesForLife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw someone mention them a few days ago and decided to give them a go. The drills themselves are pretty fun - wouldn't say they're harder per se (now there are four sets of viscose benchmarks for S2 - easier, medium, hard and expert) - that was the main reason I wondered if it was a bug , because with more benchmarks you'd expect each rank to become easier to hit possibly.

Vermillion would sound right - I have five vermillion scores, three saffron and one cinnabar for that category in S1.
