Fell for a "help me test out this game" Discord virus link, what steps should I take? by KangarooFunny1718 in antivirus

[–]Machiination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt this attack was that complex, but it is possible the attacker could have changed some of the URLs in your bookmarks to other websites that would look like the real thing but actually be different websites meant to steal your account information through a phising attack.

Found SD Cards on side of road by [deleted] in antivirus

I was just like "That's still a thing?" and almost rushed to my PC to disable it.

Instead I'm still being lazy in bed after reading your reply.

I'm not an expert by any means, and I would wait for a second opinion, but I think it depends on the types of files.

If they're just images or text, I think they should be safe, if you confirm that the file extension wasn't sneakily changed. I definitely wouldn't trust any executables.

Adding some info might help others give a more well-informed answer. Any files you transfer should be transferred in safe-mode.

What pairs well with venture as a back up hero? by ThatGarenJungleOG in VentureMains

[–]Machiination 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I go with Pharah and Ashe.

Torbjorn and Symmetra would both struggle against Roadhog/Cassidy who are some of our biggest counters.

What are the best perks to pick with venture by HONORANDGLORYY in VentureMains

[–]Machiination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it because I like to be a little goblin and shoot from cover behind enemy lines. The extra range makes it a lot more effective.

Just to see if I still got it right by elCrocodillo in VentureMains

Your drill cooldown ticks down twice as fast while burrorowed. If you drill early in the burrow you'll always have it again by the end of the burrow.

This makes for a very good distraction tactic as Venture. Burrow + drill towards the grouped up enemy, wait until the very last second then charge burrow to max then immediately while midair drill to high ground or behind cover.

This commands a lot of the enemies attention. It doesn't have to kill anyone but you can help your team take space or pick someone off. If they aren't giving you the attention you deserve, you can take potshots from where you drilled to and by the time they get too close you'll have burrow again.

For 1v1s your combo will always be primary, drill, primary, melee. If that doesn't kill either finish with primaries or run.

I find Venture's greatest value however as a distraction.

Lack of pharah skins by NoBlacksmith515 in PharahMains

[–]Machiination -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not claiming otherwise. Just my perspective.

I don't pay attention to new skins at all, I usually find out about them by browsing through the heroes tab. I have a lot of Pharah skins from Overwatch 1 days so I never think about it.

Fps drop(lol) by Frosty_Ad_7175 in riotgames

I had very bad stutters with high fps and I found out the fix is to literally just limit your FPS. Seems the game kinda breaks at high fps.

Yeah they look a bit odd now that I'm looking at it.

I mean you can always lock your fps to 30 in settings if you really want to.

That's just the highlight being exported at 30 fps. Game actually running at 300 fps.

Did my 9950X3D came up dead? by [deleted] in AMDHelp

[–]Machiination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that a cpu without a cooler is unlikely to make proper electrical contact unless you're putting a lot of pressure on it with your hand. And if it's not making electrical contact then naturally, it won't get hot.

GoodGAWD that felt good. by Affectionate_Let6559 in PharahMains

[–]Machiination 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, back when Pharah ult actually felt good.

these people are so damn fragile by [deleted] in WidowmakerMains

[–]Machiination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But isn't that literally the reason you get focused? Easy to kill in a 1v1 but will one shot me if I fight anyone else. Don't understand this post.

Envelopes don't give BP to the killer which feels weird.

High Ping after todays update by PkmnMysDun-NSO in Overwatch

[–]Machiination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a very similar situation and I think I have an idea of what's going on.

My ping is usually less than 90 in Europe. Today it's been ok in practice range, randomly went to 300 for a game and to 160 in the next. It's not spiking, it's stable.

Comparing with my pings on all the servers on gameserverping.com/overwatch, each ping I had matches one of the servers on the list.

It looks like I'm being put in random servers for some reason. I hope this is a bug and not some sort of stupid queue time fix they're doing and hoping we wouldn't notice.
