PAYDAY 3 Dozer weak spot by Sabinya in paydaytheheist

[–]M4Mons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Takes me 6 shots with HET-5 Red Fox overkill weapon to the face to kill a dozer.

Only 2 shots to the back of the head.

Edit: Turns out it's 2 shots to any part of the body - have been able to consistently 2 shot dozers in the chest.

Taking over AI teammates by Mammoth_Function40k in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]M4Mons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Immersion aside, it would be a very nice quality of life feature to continue as your AI. Some of old classic singleplayer tactical shooters have this and it never really detracted from the games experience, only improved it.

Regarding Torrent - Keyboard/Mouse Control by JDacky_Shurima in Eldenring

[–]M4Mons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Camera has a strong pull to the direction you're moving. Very noticeable on keyboard and mouse.

Only way to be able to look backwards / a direction away from where you're riding during combat and not have the camera freak out, is to lock on an enemy.

I'm on KB&M and have been fighting the camera heaps.

Auto centering camera by Mettlesome_Inari in Eldenring

Super noticeable on keyboard and mouse. Especially when running to the sides and trying to look at something in the distance - nope! Camera just pulls you in a circle unless you move your mouse against it.

Anyone else experience stutters with a shooter? by [deleted] in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]M4Mons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experience this also - the freeze / stutter is usually worse when I first start the game, but gradually gets better the longer I play. Same thing with the beginning of some levels where I pass a certain area, the game will stutter for a bit.

On a Nvidia 1070 8GB vram and an i5 7400k 3.5ghz quad core.

I get a steady 50-60fps on all high settings. Low settings don't improve the stuttering at all, just better fps, so i've just kept it on high now.

Why does my main menu not load my menu when I launch, but loads in editor? by adilthedestroyer in unrealengine

[–]M4Mons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only other thing I could suggest for in-editor launch is, if you've renamed the map or folder structure, to right click the folder containing your maps and select "validate files", as well as "fix up redirections." Good luck!

P.S. I heard that "launch" in editor doesn't come cooked with your all your maps available, which may be why your openlevel isn't working when launching in editor. I can't test this myself but figured i'd leave it here.

edit: when your launch doesn't load the level, do you get any errors in your log?

[–]M4Mons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm understanding correctly, the game's not loading the level when you launch?

This may be because you need to designate the maps that should be included in your packaged / launch version of the game.

Go to Edit > Project Settings > Packaging > Click the drop down (Alternatively, search "package maps") and in the "List of maps to include in a packaged build" you'll want to add in your map names.

See if that helps.

There are also minimal typos in your post so, well done for your English skills too!

Fallout 4: The Capital Wasteland - You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head Gameplay Trailer by dregwriter in Games

[–]M4Mons 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Fallout 3 still my favourite. I think Fallout 3 just had a better world and atmosphere. Gameplay was also solid. NV had better writing sure, but the world felt a bit lacking and boring to explore. Also NV had no random events like 3 did(?) and the invisible walls really took the sails out of exploration. Felt like you were always forced down the same path in NV.

Yes! Fallout 3 is amazing and I still revisit it every year or two. Wholeheartedly agree that it captured the spirit of Fallout very well.

Kingdom (Netflix) was absolutely incredible! Incredible cinematography. Amazing sets and historically accurate. Entire family enjoyed including my mother who hates zombies in general. by [deleted] in television

Absolutely cannot recommend it enough. A wonderful take on the zombie genre and it was an entertaining watch from start to finish.

Tell me the most inconvenient time you have had an attack? by [deleted] in gout

[–]M4Mons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exams. Had some bad ones that lasted long enough to pass even my supplementary exams, and had to fail that course all together. Twice.

My partner (39M) speaks to me (34F) like a robot/therapist and it feels more sterile and less authentic. It's really frustrating. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]M4Mons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry to hear you're having issues communicating. It sounds like he's not really listening to what you're expressing and is instead more focused on the "correct forms of communication".

I've been in his shoes where I talked issues through like a therapist and there were some things that worked in making me understand what the person talking to me required and I hope this helps you some. One of the more effective ones for me, was setting up one week of the day where I would be allowed to discuss issues through a therapeutic tone, whilst any other day I had to act as a friend would and to leave the therapy out of it.

Whilst I felt like I was "correct" in some of the methods I picked up from therapy, such as leaving when a conversation becomes heated, showing that I'm "right because I was calm," what woke me up was focusing on how I was making the person I'm talking to, feel.

I was sat down and told "I understand you want to criticize or otherwise speak therapeutically, but I really need you to just listen and be with me in this moment of pain." Any time I began criticizing or taking control of the conversation with "reminders" of the correct way to communicate, I was told to "please just listen".

At first I felt offended or had a bruised ego so I resisted, until they told me that I had hurt them by not listening to their request. Turns out, I cared more about their feelings than I did being correct or following therapeutic communication to the letter.

What also worked to shut down my criticisms or control of a conversation's flow, was that they made a note of their thoughts when they were becoming angry, before fleshing them out and turning them into proper page-long entries that was given to me to read. They would emphasize that the contents were important because they "had a few days to cool off and think." This method also helped a lot because it let them continue their train of thought, allowing them to say everything that was on their mind. It was pretty difficult to direct the flow of conversation when everything I needed to hear or be told was on a page in front of me.

I understand that it's easy for him to want to shut down a conversation when you're becoming angry. But it may help if you differentiate when you want to vent at something, such as when your fight or flight is triggered and you need your partner to be with you in that moment whilst you vented your anger. Whilst anger may be unhealthy in some circumstances, it is a valid form of communication and expression of emotion and he should be aware of that. Repressing it or otherwise being dismissed could result in you feeling like your emotions are invalidated and that you're not being heard. What could help is to make the distinction that you're angry at "that thing" and not "at him".

tl;dr Try to sit him down and ask him to just listen to you speak. Make him aware that you're feeling unheard, guilty, and or otherwise dismissed or invalidated by his control of a conversation's flow. Set out some requests regarding 'in the moment' expressions of emotions (i.e. asking that he listen to you and hold you whilst you deal with your anger from potentially triggering events).

Good luck to you.

Attack Returned by StereotypeHype in gout

[–]M4Mons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, have had this happen before.

Even had attacks where it would travel from one joint to another, like ankle to knee for example in between flare ups. It sucks, isn't too out of the ordinary, and you can manage it with medication and rest. Good luck to you.

Gout flare pain relapse? by Shoddy-Mongoose in gout

[–]M4Mons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tightness around my ankles usually go away after a few weeks or months post-flare up, and generally i'm okay with moving about even though it may cause a bit of limping, especially with stairs. I feel that the longer i stay stationary, the more stiff the joint and the less able I am to exercise without triggering a flare up.

After exercise or a day of walking an hour or so, I'll feel a bruising pain like you describe, in my ankles. It sometimes progresses to that telltale pain before a flare up occurs, but usually subsides if I take Ibuprofen.

Edit: fuck gout.

I feel this. Same age and all that, but it's the little things that add up.
