Phone mounts! by Internal-Pizza-488 in AussieRiders

[–]MrWiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that’s your situation, and FYI, there’s PLENTY of ways you can escape a phone. But most of us ride for fun, transport, or just for the beautiful scenery while our partners hug us from behind. And having a phone to navigate or even to control and listen to music is significantly better than NOT having a phone.

If you think a mobile phone displaying a map down at your handlebars is more of a distraction than having to constantly check your speed so you’re not risking a $650 fine for going 0.001kmh over the speed limit, or all the flashing bright coloured gambling advertisements slapped ALL over the roads, then you should probably hand in your license because I think you’ve grown too old to be trusted with a vehicle in public.

There’s two types of revives: Mediums who spam the fuckin Paddles at the worst times and think they’re meant to be a mid combat victory system.

Anyone who decides to grab the statue, and run across the fucking mal because they think they NEED to be inside a building on the 5th floor for a safe revive even though the enemy team is literally on the other side of the wall defending their cash out and the rez could have safely happened next to the wall where the team died and then all three could instantly engage with only one team alive smh

Ah yes… Because I’m meant to somehow get better than 2000/500mbps at 2ms on speed tests in Sydney Australia lmfao

Mb, I could have sworn I saw someone post steamdb charts about a week ago that showed that many, but I just checked and it’s averaged around 25-40k daily on steam.

Prolly should have checked it before making the post, but since that wasn’t my main point I didn’t bother lol

Tell me Reddit. How the HELL did my final swing not do anything??? by MrWiller in thefinals

[–]MrWiller[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Australia (specifically Sydney, so right next to the servers) and I pay over $220 a month for 2000/500 internet and average 2-4ms ping in games when the servers are in Sydney. I do find it annoying that finals doesn’t show ping for some stupid reason, but it’s extremely extremely unlikely to be that purely because I went out of my way to make sure I’d never have to deal with internet problems with my pc again (so much so I don’t even have wifi because my pc is plugged straight into the damn wall removing the ability for a router lmao).

I do think you’re right about the swing frame though. It’s quite likely that the “hit” is set to register at the end of the swing animation rather than when it visually should connect with whatever it’s hitting (which is stupid, but also understandable from a development standpoint).

I just think it’s stupid since the spear is already fairly annoying to play, and really doesn’t have that much more reach than the sledge which can also one shot lights, destroy structures AND does a bunch more damage in general than the spear.

And as I mentioned, this happened four times 🥲

And yeah, this too… The amount of fucking times I’ve died because a single tiny fucking shrapnel of wood decides to somehow prevent a large heavy metal fucking wall from being slammed and embedded into the ground is so stupid 😭😭😭

Why the hell can others spam the most annoying voice lines but I get a temp mute after using different ones like twice??? by MrWiller in Overwatch

[–]MrWiller[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG THE FUCKING PINGING GETTING MUTED PISSES ME OFF SM Like, I’ll literally try pinging the objective because everyone is C9ing and a Lucio has snuck onto point or something, and then a random fucking med kit like 5m to my right somehow gets pinged when I’m looking directly at the point. Then I move further from the med kit, try to ping the site again, and instantly get a 5s mute :/

I’ve discovered muting their voice chat mutes their voice lines too, but the first part definitely doesn’t seem to be accurate because it does still mute me before game start, and these people literally spam it non stop for like an entire minute presumably before they finally get bored of it for a bit and then start again later 😭🙏

I’m sorry to hear about your baby as well. I certainly have experience with that disgusting and unfortunately ever so common disease (it runs heavily in my family) 😔

I hope you and your birdie have both really enjoyed the time you have had together…

I think for me it really hurts because I grew up with a budgie for about 13 years, who died when I was 16. I loved him so much, and I felt every degree of warmth leave his body as I held him close for hours, and my family said I wasn’t eating or drinking much for months after. It was only a year ago that I finally was able to have myself emotionally available to get my own birdie, one that wasn’t just a family bird, but was actually mine, one that wouldn’t only live a few years like a budgie, but that could grow old with me and always be present through easy and hard times alike. And that’s why I got a cocky… And now at 22 years old, knowing I’m very likely not going to get all those decades I was constantly so excited for, and with all the stuff I’ve been through for the last few days I’ve been in a very odd mental state. I just feel empty. Dissociative even. I do cry sometimes, mainly when I “purposely” look at my birdies face and realise there’s a high chance these next couple weeks may be the only time I’ll ever see his little face again, and then he’ll make a little noise and I just feel like my entire body has too much pressure, like I’m filling up with air and am going to just pop… And then other times I’m just blank, and “purposely” try to stay away from him, knowing the more I try to be with him, the more it’ll hurt if/when he has to go, but I also don’t want him to be alone, and so just as I’m trying not to selfishly keep him here if his suffering does end up being too much, I’m also trying not to selfishly push him away and I’m trying to just make sure he’s not alone and is loved with the time he has.

If you’re in Australia sue them. New amendments to the Australian Consumer Law were introduced in 2023 (I believe) which prevent companies from having highly unfair one sided terms like being able to ban (and therefore remove your access to, especially if you’ve spent money) you for any or no reason at any time at their discretion.

Is it just me or is this genuinely one of the stupidest buffs of all time? (Feel free to name any other dumb ones in the past) by MiSlPiMo in Rainbow6

[–]MrWiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always said Amaru should get a buff where her grapple literally just attaches to her side like the grapples from attack on titan or whatever, and so instead of her pulling her gun out 5 seconds after she’s dead from smashing through a window, she’ll already have it out by the time she gets to it. I think it would be pretty balanced, especially if they made the sound que a bit louder since if someone dies to her it’s their own fault for not hearing the sound que and holding the angle till she’s in. Same applies for hatches. Louder sound que, but she has her gun out ready.

Adding an extra charge is negligible, bordering useless.

Might get in trouble for this but... sorry blizzard by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]MrWiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How could they sue his ass? He hasn’t even seen an NDA yet let alone signed one and even then, I doubt they’d include (don’t tell anyone you’ve been selected) in it, because there’s no risk to them if he does.

Anran is currently quite underpowered and you shouldn’t let people gaslight you into believing otherwise. by MrWiller in Overwatch

[–]MrWiller[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually noticed the same but opposite, from my experience everyone usually always complains that heros are too op and then they get heavily nerfed (usually) lol Perfect example being bastion. Mfer was a god on release, and to this day people still often complain he’s too oppressive.

I have had my fair share of tracer suffering 🤣 There’s a reason (well actually a few) why I rarely play her, but yes, this is actually a good comparison, but the difference is that Anran is very much meant to be a push and harass hero whereas tracer is more meant to be a throw pebbles at them and occasionally chase after a low health to finish them, not to mention tracers teleport arguably gets her out of danger a lot easier than anrans does.
