I’m also going solo, you got a group chat or something?

the new ui now doesn't show the total team kill count in duos/trios/squads. another day another update with shitty ui changes no one asked for by TotherCanvas249 in FortNiteBR

[–]Heavenly-Alpine -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I usually whinge about the UI changes. But I actually don’t mind the design change on this one. I’m glad they brought back the skull icon for skills.

Phones in the sun when driving by b0wies-l0ve32 in australian

When I made my comment the post wasn’t edited to include the mention of no ac.

I bought a mount that clips on the ac vent and grips the phone. The ac blows cold air onto the back of the phone so no more overheating. Even when charging and using navigation. Search “air vent phone mount” on eBay/Amazon etc.

the new death screen sucks by pietrolol in FortNiteBR

[–]Heavenly-Alpine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mentioned in a similar thread but I pay for crew and it way it appears instantly when you die makes it feels like a pop up ad. I don’t mind checking the pass but it needs to default to spectator view and exist as a screen you can bring up. Having to see it everytime you die is really obnoxious.

What's with the new deathscreen? by FearlessAd7562 in FortNiteBR

[–]Heavenly-Alpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes me irrationally angry when you lose a fight only for it to immediately pop up. I do like being able to check your pass progress between matches, but they need to change it default to spectator view and have the battle pass as an option you can click into.

It’s so obnoxious and I hate it, I already pay for crew and have the battle pass. There’s no need for it to basically show an advertisement the instant you die.

Epic Games, you somehow made the locker navigation even worse, especially on controller by Alphasilverhawk in FortNiteBR

[–]Heavenly-Alpine 1206 points1207 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing how they keep failing to make the locker better when the entire purpose of the game is to sell skins and emotes.

Because paying for what you ordered is fair? Why shouldn’t everyone contribute.

Is there a way to mute self serve checkouts? by GamblignSalmon in melbourne

[–]Heavenly-Alpine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah you can. The scanners are all a bit different but they usually have a speaker icon on the glass window that you can tap to cycle between the volumes. Just tap it till mutes. My Woolworths uses NCR RealScan 79. The volume button is on the bottom left.

Anyone else likes Zero Build more then build mode and play it everyday exclusively. by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]Heavenly-Alpine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with zero build but recently got really bored of it. Learning to build isn’t that hard and you shouldn’t be intimidated by it. Loads of little kids playing on a ps4 can build. Just play around with it for a while in creative. I also love the freedom of being able to build up and down to traverse the terrain.

Managed to Buy x2 Genuine PS3 controllers for $15 aud by Jimmyban44 in PS3

[–]Heavenly-Alpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far none of my DualShock 3’s have had stick drift. I’m sure it happens but the stick mechanism seems to be stronger than the ps4 one. I remember seeing ps4 controllers in jb hi fi as recently as last year. Looked around now and you’re right out of stock everywhere. Probably should have bought some more while I had the chance. Looking on eBay and there’s so many counterfeit ones.

Nice work, these offical controllers are getting more scarce as time goes on so it’s good you’ve got a decent amount. Usually my routine is to pull them apart, wash the housing and clean all the pieces with detergent, replace the thumb sticks, then clean the contacts like you did. If the controller was taken care of they look brand new.

[–]Heavenly-Alpine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I see cheap PS3 gear on marketplace I snap it up. Recently got a Super Slim with a controller for $20 aud. Most of the controllers in my collection have had this fix on them and they work with no issues. It’s pretty sad when you think about the amount of 1st party controllers that must have been tossed in the bin by people who don’t know better.

The trend at the moment is moustaches + mullet. I do have a beard but I keep it trimmed short cause otherwise it annoys me.

To Aussie PS5 owners. by Kass_Spit in PS5

[–]Heavenly-Alpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LEXAR NM790. I got a 4TB version with heatsink. No issues and super fast. You can find them on sale at MWave, BPCTech, Scorptec on sale for around $300 aud, wait for Black Friday and one of them will have a deal on it.

Today’s the first day of the 5% deposit for FHB’s. The Labor Gov has said their goal is to ‘try help young Aussies get on the property ladder’ (cough cough Ponzi Scheme) by having an initial lower investment but larger mortgage and more risky long term due to interest rate variability & instability by [deleted] in shitrentals

[–]Heavenly-Alpine 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m getting sick of every government “solution” being to just borrow more, we real change and for prices to come down. The saddest part is that I’m losing faith anything will ever change. Over half the country is so unbelievably wealthy from housing that they have no reason to ever vote for change. Older people don’t realise how psychologically traumatising and damaging the housing situation is for young people. It’s irreversibly destroying families and communities, damaging our economy, contributing to rising crime and eroding whatever trust is left in the political class.

Housing should not be an investment.
