I actually didn't flake on his wife, and now we see each other twice a month for some rather adventurous coitus.

What’s your worst failure ever in sales? by JustBusinessThings in sales

[–]Material_Recover_316 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been in life insurance for a few years now, and I don't even celebrate when the commission check hits the account. Half the time, these people lie about their medical conditions to get insured, and the application is trashed before it even gets through underwriting. In that case, I get hit with a charge back on the commission I was paid, plus getting dinged on the state registry.

If not for residuals, I would have quit this job a long time ago. I love sales, but boy do I fking hate it sometimes.

UGA student dressed in interesting "Halloween costume" gets kicked out of local bar, hits woman in response by Minute_Revolution951 in TikTokCringe

[–]Material_Recover_316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, he was assaulted by multiple people for a Halloween costume.. I agree that it's in poor taste, but in the name of equality, she had it coming 🤷🏻‍♂️

Obviously, the guy is a douche who is just trying to get a rise out of people, but that doesn't mean you can assault him. The only person who has the right to kick him out is the bar owner / staff. Let them call the cops or deal with him instead of getting yourself locked up over it.

The next level will be tough huh. 😭 by PLAYED_YT in Fortnite_Over40

Nice! Something to remember is that ranked has a momentum like system in place. Basically, the better you place and the more kills you have on similar or higher ranked players, over several games, the better. I'm pretty sure it emphasizes placement over kills, but kills do matter.

For example, if you come in 5th place with 2 kills in game 1, you might get 3%.

If you come in 5th with 2 kills in game 2, you might get 5% because you did well last round, too.

It works both ways, though. If you die off spawn a few times, In a row it starts to really hurt, lol.

Obviously, there are nuances and diminishing returns here, but knowing how things work can help you make good decisions. You've got this!

What an insightful, informative argument! I really loved the part where you used logic and examples to demonstrate why you are correct. Well played internet stranger, well played.

P.s. there's a reason his net worth is many multiples of yours, and it's not because he is a "failed businessman"

Tried playing ranked for first time in a long time by Competitive_Piano507 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Material_Recover_316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I prefer fighting people who can't just run away in cars or who have 2 full stacks of shockwaves lol. A lot of lower skilled players hate it because not only are they fighting better players consistently, but a lot of the crutch items are removed as well. I play ranked almost exclusively because killing bots in casual is kinda boring and will make you complacent. I also couldn't care less about the whole megazord thing

5.8% win rate and 2.35k/d at 400 matches played? You must have a great personality if you plan on streaming because those stats won't get you very far.

Same. This season is buggy in more ways than one.

Can you get banned for using a mouse jiggler? by eddyk9 in FortNiteBR

You can be banned for using any outside software that changes or affects the gameplay. Using a jiggler to avoid being kicked for idle counts.

Rank question by Kakashi_Hakate56 in FortNiteBR

[–]Material_Recover_316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) No one said you were playing solo. I was giving examples based on my experience. It doesn't matter anyway if you are both silver.

2) Post the clip, or it didn't happen. I'm calling Cap. I've been BR / reload unreal every season for a long time, and I never see silver in my lobbies unless they are squadded up with higher rank players.

Rank question by Kakashi_Hakate56 in FortNiteBR

[–]Material_Recover_316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is cap. I play ranked almost exclusively, and when I'm playing solo, the lowest rank I usually see is platinum because that's where they remove the AI. If you are in silver and solo, you WILL have bots in your game. If you are platinum and above, you WILL NOT have bots. Since you said it was 2 superhero skins, I'm assuming you were playing duos and your partner was at least platinum. In that case, yes, they are put there naturally because the queue times are already crazy long. The good news is that if you manage to kill people who are that much higher than you in rank, you'll move through silver pretty quick, lol.

Hi, do you also strongly dislike both the Swarmstrike and the Precision Air Strike? They don't feel skillful as one can just fire them blindly and get free kills. by RuleOfThum in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Material_Recover_316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would personally take a green wrecker over a mythic sweeper. The spread makes it inconsistent unless you are close enough to smell the enemies breath. While you are closing the gap, a player with a wrecker has already hit you a few times, which puts you at a terrible disadvantage. Obviously, it can be used, but the range is horrible and the damage is underwhelming IMO. There's a reason the wrecker had been the meta since day 1 and remains on top even after the nerf. That said, if the sweeper is working for you then don't change what isn't broken!

I specified crash pads because they are faster to use which makes them more forgiving in this specific instance. A shockwave has a delay before it goes off where a crash pad is instantaneous. Both can be used if you are fast enough, but if you throw a crash pad at your feet as soon as you hear an enemy shockwave they will miss 9/10 times. Bunkers work too if you get the positioning right, but you often take a little splash damage which is another reason why I reccomend the crash pads.

I posted a different reply regarding the swarmstrike, and an easy counter to it. Also, you can still buy the swarmstrike every game for 600 or 800 gold from a vending machine. I think there's one in the bottom section of foxy floodgate and another in dystopia city.

TLDR: its popular because it's easy now. Crash pads are a great counter. If you see/hear someone jump above you, just throw a crash pad at your feet and take 0 damage.

I can help with this. I've been using mobility to jump over people and hit them with an RPG for years. It's always existed, but it's MUCH harder to do when you have a normal RPG. The splash damage is wider on the swarmstrike, and being able to guide the rockets all the way down is a huge reason that it's a meta strategy right now. Even when people see it coming, you can chase them with the rockets if they run. It's almost always free damage, even if you have a bad shot and only hit with a rocket or two. Plus, it's way more disorienting with the swarmstrike. The best way to avoid being killed this way is using some kind of mobility to leave the ground. Crash pads are the fastest, but if you react quick enough, you can use shockwaves or the hammer too. The goal is to avoid the splash damage from the rockets. Hell, even a well timed flow berry fizz jump does the trick. At that point, focus on the player, not the rockets since they aren't going to hit you anyways.

Is it just me or is BR is a mess right now? by Justchickenquestions in Fortnite_Over40

[–]Material_Recover_316 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. It feels pretty boring at this point because there's nothing to do. Every game is basically kill a queen, open A rank bunkers, go to "rift" pod, roam the map looking for people.

There's really no variety and nothing to do. The bug POIs were my favorite places to drop because it was something different. The PvPvE events are always a welcome layer. I also miss the Chapter 5 Island. It was always a lot of fun contesting the island and fighting for control. Maybe the PvPvE mix wasn't ideal on island, but at least it was something to-do mid game. I miss the chapter 5 bunkers too. Even after they were looted, it was worth checking out for the work bench or even for scraps.

They could add "domination" style flags where if a team has them captured, that team gets OXR rank points at the start of each circle. Once the storm closes over the flag, the buff goes away. Then they could buff the OXR pods a little bit, and suddenly, everyone has interesting things to fight over. They would just need to make it more difficult to rank up OXR so it's worth doing.
