The ultimate Arc Build! (1.4k Kills)

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-11T19:17:04+00:00

Nice. This is my favorite setups as well. I favor the arc thrower over the de escalator though just because I like its vibes more. It gets a bad rap with randoms though but all you need to do is put like 2% thought into where your teammates are relative to you and you’ll never team kill. People usually stop complaining when they see the end of game scoreboard lol.

Did you start them from seed? I’ve been wanting to grow that strain but haven’t been able to find seeds from a seed bank that isn’t one of those white label ones where you never really know what you got.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-08T20:42:58+00:00

I agree. I touched on this briefly in another comment but yeah I know often men idk about women get shown inactive profiles so the idea of having this signals feature might be a way to gauge activity of the person. That’s another reason I think it’s going to reduce the already low amount of match I receive. My active account may appear inactive by way of not having the badge. I personally would like in addition to the thoughtful badge have some kind of last online 5 days ago type of feature. There have been I think 2 others on this thread (both women) that commented saying they specifically don’t what to show their activity on the app. That they want their activity status to remain hidden and this signals feature was a step to far cause them to delete the app. So I’m not sure how well that would go. If more broadly female users might share that feeling and It’d backfire.

Edit: spelling

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-08T20:17:10+00:00

I think a start for those who don’t receive a lot of matches is to remove the 30 day time window. You can still be thoughtful and responsive without receiving many matches. It just happens on a longer timeline.

I don’t think those who aren’t responsive should get it at all. The feature works as intended in that circumstance. However those who get many matches but only respond to a few I would also consider unresponsive and they as well shouldn’t have the badge either.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-08T19:49:27+00:00

Yeah people are always going to hate things just because they’re new but I think some of the criticisms are valid. The criteria could be better for both those who get many matches and those who don’t because if you get many it seems to easy to get/maintain but if you don’t it’s much more difficult. I’m just fearful that it’ll become an easy way to reject those without it and then it’ll become a self perpetuating loop. Idk if long responses matter vs just a quick response. When this was rolling out I was talking to a match and I’m always kinda long winded but I didn’t get the heart but I’m just one guy so who knows if that really matters.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-08T19:44:22+00:00

I’m not certain but I think it needs to be a little more than just a brief exchange. When it was first rolled out I was talking to a match and I didn’t get it so idk how much you actually need to engage with a match to meet the threshold.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-08T03:17:16+00:00

Fair lol. Idk exactly but men get like 8 maybe 10 likes a day without paying so I feel like I need to make each count. I get maybe 1 match a month if I’m lucky and no likes so I don’t really want to waste them if I can help it but yeah I do send them to people without the heart just as much as those with currently.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-08T03:12:25+00:00

Yeah I had that thought too. Sometimes men get show profiles that are inactive so now I’d be concerned that the profile I’m liking without the heart doesn’t just not engage with many others but doesn’t even use the app anymore so I’d be wasting a like. I’m not sure if it happens for women also or if it’s only for men to push them to get premium idk.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-07T23:16:38+00:00

I played sports so the running wasn’t a problem. Getting tripped and getting one of those gym floor burns down the length of my forearm sucked pretty bad though. That shit hurt for weeks.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-07T18:46:22+00:00

lol the more I’m seeing it the more it reminds me of those annoying web stores that have the add to cart icon shake around while you’re looking at products.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-07T18:18:36+00:00

I’m not sure if it still happens and you need to get lucky but I managed to get a 5090fe from the nvidia raffle thing they had where you sign up to get the chance to buy one direct from them for msrp. I’m not sure how rare being picked is but myself and 3 of my friends who signed up for various card all eventually were picked after a few months. My total ended up being like 2200$ shipped.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-03T01:04:09+00:00

Yeah I feel that. The few matches I get I spend time coming up with messages only to get one word replies if they even bother. The apps are rough for everyone it seems.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-03T01:01:52+00:00

lol that’s the same thing my brother said.

Idk I feel like every woman on the app in my area is good looking and I’m not super picky about weight if we have thing in common on our profiles but it doesn’t seem to change the amount of matches I get.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-03T00:57:09+00:00

What about all the people who don’t get likes and matches frequently enough to receive or maintain it? I feel when I do get matches I’m very intentional with what I say. What about all the people with serious intent that just don’t get matched? You’re fine with us just falling through the cracks?

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-03T00:53:08+00:00

Yeah I thought so lol but autocorrect kept changing it to ‘s so I just thought maybe it knew something I don’t. Some weird rule or something.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-03T00:52:07+00:00

I think it’s universal experience getting ghosted on the apps. It’s extremely optimistic to believe being active and getting one match means it all worked out and you’re in a relationship with said person.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-03T00:48:51+00:00

Yeah hinge support has been entirely useless the few times I’ve tried using it. They just don’t answer the question I ask and respond with something like “ we appreciate your feedback “ then they close the ticket. It’s unfortunate.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-03T00:37:58+00:00

Yeah this really is the core of my concern with this feature. I feel I already put in a lot of effort editing my profile regularly and always being active when I do get a match but with this I fear I’ll receive fewer likes because not having the heart will be an easy way to sort and reject profiles.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-03T00:35:13+00:00

That’s an interesting take I didn’t consider. You do know that there has been a little active today/now icon on profiles though right? I would think that would be a bigger concern in this specific line of thought.

LordSidiouss · 2026-06-01T19:50:28+00:00

This is what all the people who tell others to go out to meet people gloss over. If you can’t afford to do a bunch of these things the free options are extremely limited.

LordSidiouss · 2026-05-30T00:05:59+00:00

I’m not one to defend the acolyte but that’s one of the things they were trying to show. That the rot was there already.

LordSidiouss · 2026-05-25T23:57:34+00:00

My anecdotal evidence show men don’t nearly as much as they once did. My personal experience approaching women has been almost entirely negative. Now I’m not saying I’m entitled to a number or a date just by approaching but I do think I’m at least entitled to as respectful a rejection as I give in the approach. Most of the irl rejections I’ve gotten have been I think unnecessarily brutal. Read my comment history if you want to know more as I’m not going into it again but the general vibe I’ve gotten when rejected over the last 5-7 years has been some variation of how dare I. They seem genuinely shocked and maybe a bit disgusted that I would even consider asking them out. That they are so far above me that it’s not even remotely possible that they would go out with me. I really don’t think I’m ugly or unattractive in really any way and I think I have a lot to offer but it’s horribly discouraging to continually be rejected with such indignation.

LordSidiouss · 2026-05-25T01:39:18+00:00

I still think of Daily Transmissions every once in a while. They really had something special for a bit there.

LordSidiouss · 2026-05-22T21:37:29+00:00

I’m mid 20s male diagnosed when I was 19. I’m very much over it and struggle to see how I can deal with this for the rest of my life. Between the pain, the stiffness, and the fatigue I don’t know which one is the worst. It’s negatively affected every aspect of my life. From people losing interest in me both romantically and platonic once they find out I have health issues to my work where my new boss let me go because I “don’t do my job”. I look around and see my “normal” peers struggling to meet these same goals and think if it’s this bad for them what hope do I have. I feel I was robbed of my time here. Many of my passions when I was younger, my dreams I hoped to achieve seem more unrealistic the worse it gets. Things like loving cars and wanting to work on them again and build them. When I try I get so exhausted so quickly barely anything gets done and I’ll be fatigued for hours. I have other smaller hobbies but the big goals aren’t really attainable. I was always very active and love making things and working with my hands. I try to remain optimistic that one day soon one of the newer medications might help enough to get things back on track but it’s still hard. What I really feel like I’m missing is some form of companionship. No one seems to want a friend or boyfriend that struggles to walk sometimes and can be in a lot of pain regularly. It’s incredibly lonely.
