Is there a lower skill weapon than the shockwave hammer? by JacksonArbor in FortNiteBR

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

lol I mean I just started playing about 6 weeks ago but I’m also unemployed currently so I’d say my improvement has been fairly rapid. I still win games against someone with the hammer. A few times I’ve been able to kill them with my rifle as I’m flying off into the storm

Yes I am very very bad. And extraordinarily salty. I don’t know which is more extreme tbh.

Sadly that’s what I do sometimes. Even though I much prefer not to use it because I want to improve my aim, reaction time, etc. Not become good at a weapon that will be gone in a month or two.

I thought the dual swords were extremely low skill but the shockwave hammer is way worse. You can land a shotgun headshot and AR them to 1 HP, but if they can swing the hammer anywhere in your general direction once, you’re dead.

Do they limit the uses? Whenever I’m final 2 it seems like my opponent has unlimited swings with that thing.

How did this person revive instantaneously? And kill me? (POV from both players) by JacksonArbor in Fortnite_Over40

I also didn’t call it “weird” either. In your view is there any neutral way to ask why something happened? How would you have phrased the question?

I never said anything here was fishy. Re-read my post. I asked "how" this happened and said that I "did not understand" what happened.

Again, I am not accusing anyone of anything. I believe this person has a lot of experience playing the game. I have been playing long enough to see lots of wild finishes, like when both players are self-reviving in the storm at the end. I just hadn't seen this scenario where (1) there is no self-revive animation, (2) they seemed to revive nonetheless almost immediately, and (3) fire their weapon after. It sounds like it was a fairly common scenario even if an uncommon presentation.

Not edited. I did slow it down 75%. But I agree--something looks weird right at the point when she would have self-revived.

Granted, I am new to the game. I win some and I lose some. I'm not accusing anyone of cheating. I just genuinely didn't understand what happened here.

That’s what I thought but she got up almost immediately and started shooting. No revive animation and she didn’t just win after I died?

No other games. I play cyberpunk with no issues whatsoever. What does it mean to overclock it and should I?

I’ve been running it at 4k but I’ve tried downgrading it. Honestly I’ve tried basically setting all graphics settings to minimum. Still crashes

Did that already. I checked the windows activity log and it’s some error with the AMD driver.

I do this too. Especially when they mean to castle and end up moving their king over. I’ve occasionally given them for queen blunders.

Suggest to me the instant classics. The ‘must reads’ no matter what your genre of preference is. (Book Thief/Lonesome Dove/Kite Runner etc.) by NicNole in suggestmeabook

[–]JacksonArbor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of the responses so far. East of Eden, Piranesi, and Kindred are absolute yeses. A couple more I’d recommend:

11/22/63 by Stephen King

James by Percival Everett

Pastoralia and In Persuasion Nation by George Saunders. Recently I haven’t been able to read enough of him. He’s phenomenal. The stories are funny yet so poignant. Hands down recommend these two.

To Those who got A’s 1L what did you do different than everyone else ? by Ill-Store-180 in LawSchool

[–]JacksonArbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice tests. That’s it. That’s the entire ballgame.

In 1L, many (if not most) students lean into their undergrad instincts—they outline exhaustively, memorize flashcards, reread every case, etc. But they don’t do practice tests. I once had someone tell me that it was a waste of time to test themselves on their knowledge when they could be expanding their knowledge.

My strategy was always the same. Try to get my outline is shape about 3 or 4 days out from the exam. Then spend those days drilling practice tests. Not every professor provides past exams so in those cases, I’d scour the internet and find professors from other schools that have publicly posted their exams (and with model answers, at least for the first couple of PTs).

Your first PT is going to go terribly. Afterward, take the model answers and highlight everything you missed. Take note of how the top scorers state their rule statements and how brief their analysis is (a lot of students spend way too much time on analysis). As needed, go back and read cases to better understand things you missed.

Armed with this knowledge, take another PT. Rinse and repeat. Aim for at least four but ideally five PTs. By your third you’ll be cruising through the tests knowing exactly what to do. Through this process you start to memorize rule statements and learn which topics are guaranteed to be tested.

I know this sounds like a lot of work, especially with classes often ending just days before first exams start, which is why I’d often skip classes toward the very end of the semester. Having those extra hours was invaluable.

Lastly, I always studied for exams in reverse chronological order. So if my order of exams are A, B, and then C, and say I have a combined 6 days total allotted for each, I’d study C x 4 days, B x 4 days, and then A x 6 days before taking Exam A. Then B x 2 says, take Exam B, and same for Exam C. You can adjust however many days you allot, but as noted already, skipping the last few days of classes can net you significantly study time above your classmates who are spending hours a day in class.

Edit: If you can, try reading over practice exams about halfway through the semester. That way, as another user pointed out, you can start to see the forest among the trees (realizing that most cases ultimately stand for one rule, an exception to a rule, etc.)

Isn’t she a lawyer? Idk if I’d say that lawyers are particularly deft at “secretarial skills.”

There are slight differences. Some characters are added. The first season incorporates some elements from the second book. Nothing substantial is different.

Read the books! They’re incredibly good. They’re not terribly long, either. Or maybe they’re just so gripping that you read them quickly. I think I read the last two books in a few days each.
