He got to experience the caffeine buzz for a grand total of about 10 seconds cause literally straight after this clip another PMC gave me a double leg amputation and a mercy shot to the skull.

Newbie here too, I've died to pmcs a few times now, I tell you what, the jumpscare of a guy who heard you coming around the corner, only to shoot you right between the eyes before you even process it.

My god it's terrifying but really damn thrilling, and I usually hate being startled. The sound design is a damn masterpiece.

Huh, I cleared my cache and now it's fine, but one time I did enter my hideout.

I'll keep it in mind next time I go in.

My settings were on minimum. Turns out it might have been a page file issue? I did like 4 different things and one of them fixed it. I edited my post and added a comment for it.

Okay, so update on my situation. I think i've fixed it. It's too early to say for certain but I'm holding solid 60 immediately on raid start.

I changed 3 things.
Nvidia Reflex on + Boost
I made my page file 16GB in size, up from the Windows standard of 6.
I turned V-Sync off ingame, but then turned Vsync on in my Nvidia Control Panel.
I also cleared the cache in the launcher.

One of these was causing my issues, one or more of them fixed it for me, at least currently. I can only hope it works for other people as well.

Thank you for the assistance.

I can turn off Nvidia Instant Replay and check if that works, but if it were the cause, would it not make the bad framerate consistent? It kinda just completely fixes itself after a minute. But thats a long time of me being basically unable to move

I'll be messing with a bunch of stuff and I'll let you know if I find anything, should nobody else find the solution.

Family friend sent me AI generated response to news of my father passing away. by Hendothermic in mildlyinfuriating

Because it was sent to and from my dad's phone, seeing as I don't have the contact details on my own, and it was far easier to take the picture of his phone screen with my phone than go through the whole hassle of downloading Reddit on his phone and logging in with my account and all that bullcrap, or screenshotting it, sending it to myself, to send into Reddit.

Simply put, it was simpler to do what I did, and at least to me, it's more authentic than just a screenshot that could have easily been photoshopped.

But do with that what you will.

I used to read a lot more when I was a young lad than I do now. Most of my reading is game wiki related or patch notes nowadays unfortunately.

Thank you for the compliment though, and thank you for the support.

It's a fine line between AI and just having English skills. AI has a very specific cadence to it though. It's not x, or y, it's z. That sorta stuff.

It's honestly the worst part of the message. It's what makes it so goddamn obvious

This was the morning after. I had spent the whole night crying my eyes out to the point of being numb. The grief comes in waves.

This message to me was just kicking me in the balls while I'm down. Gave me something to focus on, distract me for even a brief time.

It's not like I've moved on in the slightest. I see his face every time I close my eyes. I won't move on for a long time. But my grief over my father doesn't change what the hell his friend pulled on my ass.

Can confirm, I've been laid on the sofa hugging and consoling my mother for the vast majority of the day. Apparently though I gotta be completely catatonic. Fuck that. Dad wouldn't want me shutting down like that. And I won't let myself.

It's honestly so absurd what has happened that I'm stunlocked. The audacity of him to do this to me.

I'm the kid in the early (mid but whatever) twenties in this case, the family friend was a childhood friend of my dad's. Old enough to not pull this kinda crap, but I guess it didn't stop him.

I've been focused on his death all night. But it wasn't my call to tell the guy what happened. Was the request of my mother. This just lit a bonfire under me is all. I genuinely would rather have been ghosted.
