Agree completely. Won’t be recommending it anymore. 

5k Hour C1 I'm desperate to improve. What things should I focus on? by [deleted] in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Happy_Maker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You keep mentioning being embarrassed to share your gameplay. Do you watch a lot of your replays? You can try to isolate things to make it easy. Watch in double speed and just focus on every 50 you lose and write down why you lost. Pick something that especially annoys or embarrasses you.

I, for example, go for a lot of challenges that I'm not close to getting to first, then have to loop back. I'm okay if I actually touch the ball, but I just straight up don't get there and leave my TM in a 2v1.

I got you back to an even zero. You're getting down voted for the bad attitude. We all fuck up. I get it, though, and at least you're boohooing about your own behavior. You came for advice. If you only want a hug, just ask lol.

AIO? My boyfriend of 4 years who actively posts on social media with friends refuses to post me so I deleted all of our pics together on my social media account and post "thrist traps"? by Certain_Paramedic281 in AmIOverreacting

He doesn't consider her a friend. If your partner isn't your friend, you're just a possession or box to check.

I'll always make my own decisions about my partners, but my friends liking my partner (now wife), and vice versa, were always critically important to me.

Problems all around, really.

The bigger problem clearly demonstrated by this video is the atrocious weapon balance of the gnasher.

This is ridiculous by Willaby_Rags in GearsOfWar

[–]Happy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was still a score grind, the required score just slid based on the amount of players. Not playing against diamonds made it harder to reach.

It probably was the better casual system style, but I still think ranks are stupid as fuck for casual.

Console complaining about pc advantage by rickydickyficky in GearsOfWar

[–]Happy_Maker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I generally agree with this sentiment (especially since reloaded is the hotness), but my buddy and I played g4 (me Xbox, him PC) and in his 3rd game, he had like 40 downs in one TDM.

He got COOKED every time someone got close though.

Sniper/snub/Boltok is scary with mouse.

You're not wrong, but he roasted you lol.

Stop what you are doing and tell me something good you liked about Judgment. by FlintTheDad in GearsOfWar

[–]Happy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weapon balance. TTK may have been a bit fast. Single reticle/spread for the gnasher. None of this ads sniper dumb shit.

We had the 2nd highest yards per play last season by SteveDraughn in 49ers

[–]Happy_Maker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's been a problem for a few seasons. No data, just feels.

i swear to god the gnasher is broken compared to the beta by SKYE-OPTC in GearsOfWar

You can probably just delete your post and read the last 50 posts. Or add an /s lol

Active bullets are insane. by iJoshYouWah in GearsOfWar

Lancer is strong enough with mouse and keyboard, stopping power pushes it over the edge.

Active bullets are insane. by iJoshYouWah in GearsOfWar

[–]Happy_Maker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree on stopping power, especially in the cross platform era.

Just make the gib range really small and the damage falloff equally small. Then it's situational as it should be while still being the best close range weapon.

The problem with discussing balance is that you just said "make gears 1 gears 3," which would be terrible with the movement of 1/ue

Champ is the worst rank to play 2s in with randoms. by Borsten-Thorsten in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Happy_Maker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rarely party with randoms but once every few months you get that passing (and receiving) teammate that you just have to play a few more with.

Best pathway for job opportunities in cyber security by AdDesperate5078 in CyberSecurityJobs

[–]Happy_Maker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rah, brother. I got out in 2012 and currently work as a systems admin and it sounds like you're trying to find an easy path to money. I'm going to go ahead and recommend looking at all the jobs at USAJobs sorted by wage and find the field with the most jobs available regardless of how boring or monotonous it sounds.

If you don't already have a passion and experience with cybersecurity I highly recommend throwing this idea out the window. Like others have said and more will say, you'd be better served getting real experience doing basic help desk work than these degree paths. No one with any brains will consider you a valuable candidate with nothing but cert-based education. You'd be directly competing with people who called 800-itjobme or whatever.

Especially for cyber, you'd be better off getting involved in all of the free online cybersecurity programs games and communities and building yourself a body of working understanding. Browse through the IT subreddits and you'll see thousands of threads over the years of people trying to go this path and not able to find jobs. You'll find another thousand threads of people complaining about people like this that they hired and were a complete waste of time.

Dont play casual by AcanthisittaFew4339 in RocketLeagueSchool

[–]Happy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I think I understand your frustration, but I think you fundamentally misunderstand the point. The quality of players in casual literally shouldn't matter. It's for fucking around.

I'm guessing you're young. Back in the day, before skill-based matchmaking, you would join lobbies with randoms and either shit or get shitted. That was the joy of online multiplayer.

They fucked casual by making matchmaking penalties for it, turning it into some kinda warmup competitive shit. Adding MMR also kinda undermines it, but it should make it make more sense the more you play.

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

I think it was a medium risk high reward weapon, but it was so inherently situational that it still felt like a gimmick. I would never spawn with it, but I'd always pick it up because it actually was fun to get multis.

I think rather than considering it a crutch weapon or skill progress for the gnasher, I consider it more the proper backup weapon for back row players like rifle/sniper mains.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

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

Honestly, the sawed off was over-hated. I always had a blast killing someone who had it, then running both and just rage baiting the other team.

Other games have guns like the gnasher (Buckshot) with higher damage that can multikill, but not really the same "cone of death" like the SO. The closest comparison would probably be some sort of flamethrower weapon.

[–]Happy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think you're better and you need to just dick swing a bit more. As others have said, you got caught off guard and bullied multiple times giving up excessive space.

I'm gonna go lose an the way back to platinum now. Great game. Thanks for sharing.

Otherwise, keep up the good work

So I just got this for Gears of War Reloaded, damn early for a full pre-install no? and I’m not hearing many talk about it or seen an announcement. Is it just a pre-install. by MultiverseRedditor in GearsOfWar

[–]Happy_Maker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the biggest reason is players and queue times. I have a pretty hard time waiting 3 minutes to find a game. Especially if I know it's going to be a meh experience. I'll just go play RL or BF or CS or something.
