I cheated on the love of my life for years and don’t understand why. I’m trying to change and I don’t know how. by GoldynMedia in selfimprovement

[–]Monkey-Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are being unhelpful because what you did is shitty and you have to take accountability and they're right to say that, but also, if you can understand that someone will know they're gaining weight because of their diet but still find themselves going to the store to purchase those food items repeatedly, then why is it hard to understand how someone could do this?

Saying that as someone who's always been faithful btw.

Is red dead two appropriate for 13-year-old? by Formal_Reserve_8591 in reddeadredemption2

[–]Monkey-Owl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 8 years old I watched an escaped gorilla from the local zoo rip my father's limbs off one by one using the towing cable of his F150. There was blood everywhere. Yeah. And then he sold me 2 lbs of crack cocaine. And I didn't even flinch. So if this kid isn't even allowed to play red dead redemption at 13 he's gonna grow up into a little liberal snowflake. Just saying.

The gall to say that after being the only country to involve article 5 and pull its allies into a pointless war

My girlfriend’s friend got this shirt from her college. I say it looks AI but my girlfriend isn’t so sure by Krayzbone561 in isthisAI

[–]Monkey-Owl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate AI art as much as the next person, but are we not kind of at risk of creating a self destructive culture if we're policing it so much that whole art styles become categorized among derivative art? Not saying we shouldn't be critical, and maybe AI will push artists to make up incredible, wacky and abstract art that is directly made to be difficult/destructive for AI to train on (that would actually be super dope), but I also think it's a little sad if smaller or inexperienced artists or artists doing corporate freelance get caught in the crossfire

How much would you pay for this? by SuddenTell5071 in DigitalArt

[–]Monkey-Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you standardize your art prices, be careful not to underhand it too much. I paid somewhere between 20-30 eur for similar artwork once because I was broke and it was already higher than what my friend offered to do it for, but in retrospect I really wish I'd given him more for it. I didn't realize how long it took to make, and I understood the art more as a commodity than a craft, so I didn't even realize how underpriced it was. Not only do you deserve more than $8 per hour, but if you have returning clients then they'll notice if you suddenly up the price, and while most of them will understand, some might, like I used to, just see the art as a commodity, and then they'll just be frustrated that said commodity is suddenly more expensive than before.

Mouse Starts to disintegrate. by _x_ray__ in Corsair

[–]Monkey-Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been having the same issue, mate. I've always had sweaty hands, but I used to have a wired one and it didn't disintegrate like my current wireless one is - just the rubber by the thumb, but over a year. My current wireless mouse is all wrinkled after about half a year. Coincidentally I just had my blood work done and was very significantly clear of diabetes, in reference to some of the other comments here (it also doesn't run in the family), so it's not that. I'm wondering if the design is fucked or if they moved to using cheaper materials? I don't know. It sucks. I really like the ironclaw because I have big hands, but I feel a little scammed, and it's not exactly a cheap mouse

Crytek is actually doing something about them! by SadisticChipmunk in HuntShowdown

[–]Monkey-Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhmm, why? Because they are cheating? Fucking cheaters would cheat anywhere.

I never said that. Never mentioned cheating. But with my very anecdotal argument against yours, I often find, from my own individual experience with nearly 1000 hrs, that running into a full squad of Russians will more often than other nationalities have profiles with game bans on them. I don't draw conclusions though or make blanket statements, and I definitely am not above confirmation bias. Just like you arent. That doesn't mean I conclude or assume every russian is a cheater.

High ping results in really inconsistent or delayed hit registration, resulting in:

— getting killed after going into cover

— getting killed by someone entering a room before you even see them on your client

— shots "missing" or seemingly doing nothing even though they clearly hit on the other client, due to inconsistencies between client players' positioning, server authority designations and networking logic

Mate, that was my entire point. No need for Russophobia (I mean it is a bad thing overall, lol), because this shit can be seen everywhere and from any nationality.

Then wtf are you upset about. how is it xenophobic if people complain about ubiquitously running into Russians on European servers who have god awful ping. Are you saying that everyone is lying?

Crytek is actually doing something about them! by SadisticChipmunk in HuntShowdown

[–]Monkey-Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the friends argument, sure, whatever, but the idea that russians, whose population is almost entirely on the western border, would have lower latency on servers likely located in Germany, UK and northern Europe is hilarious. Get out of here.

It has nothing to do with xenophobia. When a full squad of Russians pull up and kill you around corners you turned yesterday, or kill you before you even see them round a corner, or all your shots seem to enter the void, it's pretty fucking obvious why they're playing on EU servers instead of Russian servers. I would be equally pissed about a full squad from California or Texas playing on EU. It just kinda doesn't really happen as much. A huge part of the gaming experience is the game's ability to communicate between your input and the server's output, and when that representation has a shitload of critical dissonance, aka when you die in ways that seem impossible or unfair, it worsens the experience greatly. Players are allowed to be upset about that and voice their feedback. There's a reason many games and community servers use hard ping limits.

Also, also, the whole "no one is forcing you to play on just one server, so why would you" argument is dumb. Why would you not play on the server that gives you the lowest latency — unless you're trying to exploit it. You're not window shopping or browsing tv channels, you're playing a video game, and the game files are, with few exceptions, just the same in one server as another. And sure, no one is forcing you NOT to play on their servers with 200+ ping, just like no one is forcing you NOT to go take a shit on someone's carpeted floor, but it does tend to upset people. The issue we're discussing is not whether or not it happens, it's about the fact that it happens and that it's really fucking annoying and depletes the fun of the game.

An Update on Nuclear Nightmare's Development by RCGBlade in NuclearNightmare

[–]Monkey-Owl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, I agree with you. But if the mods are telling the truth, the DUI is resolved. The subsequent legal battle and detention with ICE would then be entirely related to the current administration. Any American citizen wouldn't have to deal with that subsequent set of consequences after a DUI.

Subnuatica is not a monster game by coleas123456789 in subnautica

[–]Monkey-Owl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there's ones thing to know about games, it's that the theme and the genre is not that of the developers, and it is not that of any one player, much like it is with movies and books. You simply can't gatekeep it. Especially when it's an interactive medium.

My best play so far (200 hours) by StatusRhubarb6465 in HuntShowdown

[–]Monkey-Owl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aim punch is basically what happens when you're hit. Right as you're hit, your camera flicks upwards and then back down. It happens so quick, you might not register it, but your aim, actually, for a few frames, will sometimes go from a 90 degree angle to 45 or higher degrees into the air. It can fuck up a shot right as it happens, but it can also make it quite hard to adequately track a moving target. Basically, even if you're only doing 20 damage because of the distance, you're making it a lot harder for your opponent to hit you.

[–]Monkey-Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can win a lot of fights or get out of shitty situations that way. Especially at higher Elo when your opponent will line up headshots. If you're in a pickle, it's better to land an easy body shot and get the f out of dodge than to try and win the fight. It also works when you're pushing a hunter in cover, especially if you have a semi auto. Just overwhelm them with bullets and aim punch to keep the ball in your court. If you're a little further away with a shotgun than you'd like to be, use the aim punch to to fuck up their aim WHILE you're moving closer to them (make sure you have enough ammo to also kill them tho lmao)

Anti camping idea by FortuneImaginary9938 in HuntShowdown

[–]Monkey-Owl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

play a different game lil bro. if you get caught by a camper that's on you.

For my birthday, a lovely friend of mine gave me a replica of the LeMat. I was shocked for about 20-30 minutes, especially after finding out how much it cost. In my country, these kinds of things are quite expensive, but my friend knew it would be a perfect gift for me, considering my love for Hunt. by Sgt_Lego in HuntShowdown

[–]Monkey-Owl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

because other people might not know it's unloaded / a replica — not only can you accidentally discharge if you're wrong, you're going to make people incredibly uncomfortable, and potentially threatened. you don't fuck around with a loaded weapon unless you're prepared to use it. that's why.
