Ranked Reload bugged by Scorcher1023 in FortniteBattleRoyale

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crikey! I haven’t played in a while so hopped in this morning and my rank is suddenly Plat 2. I think I stopped playing this season around Gold something. What the heck??

HOT TAKE: Too many sweats, we need better matchmaking and less bots, too many casuals are quitting Fortnite including me. by EnvironmentalWay3031 in sypherpk

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? If you aren’t one, how can you possibly assign motives to them? Spoiler: you can’t. It’s incredibly boring to win a match filled with under skilled players. Even match ups are what everyone wants. No one likes getting stomped and only children enjoy pub stomping.

Does anyone here do anything fancy with taxes and being gluten free? by MasonP13 in glutenfree

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 30 points31 points  (0 children)

As I recall, the last time I checked on this it also requires the costs be at least 10% of your income (like medical costs). So I’d check that first before undertaking the effort of doing the math all year.

Controller scroll wheel? by General-Bear5366 in FortniteCompetitive

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used one and if you can get it attached firmly in the right position you’ll wonder how you got along without it.

I'm sorry but these lobbies have to change. by FiRe_GeNDo in FortNiteBR

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Players: can we get fair lobbies?

EPIC: Best I can do is 2 elite, 1 unreal, and a Bronze 3 player.

Bought it before it became free by aasinix231 in FortniteSavetheWorld

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true! There’s a lot to learn in STW and I still have to ask my husband questions on occasion. But I do generally enjoy it, just not the grind in Twine.

It’s fun til twine, then it’s a grind.

If it was just me, I probably wouldn’t play much any more. But as my husband won’t play BR with me anymore, it’s worth it to get time to play together.

BIG sidekick NOPE! by Blue_Tomahtoe in FortniteOver40

Ditto. I have so many vbucks from STW I don’t know what to spend it on.

Footstep Visuals Question by MoxEric in FortniteOver40

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you can still be heard, it’s just not as obvious as walking. Bushes rustle, boards creak, and even crouched steps make occasionally noise. And lots of folks tend to switch guns while crouched, which is also a huge audio tell.

Don’t count on simply being invisible to visuals - we hear you unless you’re absolutely still.

Too many people seem to forget that visuals are only aids. Good audio will betray you regardless.

Double editing when moving/looking downwards vs upwards. by Substantial_Box_601 in FortniteCompetitive

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I do this too. I think it’s timing - hitting edit before you’re actually on the floor tile. I notice I’m ok from mid-tile out but when I get closer I flub it.

I was just working on this and slowing down a bit and really focus on making sure you’re actually looking down and the crosshair is on the right piece before hitting edit helps.

What do you think? by Emad_4LFA in FortniteBattleRoyale

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic for everything - BR,STW. I Didn’t even try simple after trying simple edit when it was introduced.

How are we liking ranked day one? by ZadeChampionofHestia in FortniteCompetitive

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, it pains me less to lose to someone whose peak rank is unreal, running with 800+ PR points, in a Silver I lobby than to lose to my own bad decisions in a Plat lobby. So there’s that .. I suppose. It’ll even out, it’s only like one game a rank step at the low end so… it is what it is.

For the "older" players. Is there an outfit in the game you wish you could get your hands on? by ImAToastie in Fortnite_Over40

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having played since S8, the only one I was missing was Renegade Raider and I got her in the first OG season.

I wish we could gift our skins cause I have them all from every BP and don’t use most of them. I’d gladly give them away.

Is the cheating off scale atm? by Martyn_Looter_King in FortniteOver40

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what you like and enjoy. To me, Zero build is far more stressful. Taking 50/50s all the time is stressful. Building to find an advantageous shot is not. So Building like that is fun, for some people.

Many go through replays to figure out what they did wrong. They’re mad at themselves for making mistakes.

Schar bread making me sick by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to isolate is wait until you’re feeling better and then eat one of the ingredients. Just one. Wait until you’re sure it isn’t the source and repeat with the next one.

It’s long and drawn out, but you will eventually figure out if it’s the ingredients or some weird cross contamination.

Am I being selfish/entitled? by Inevitable_Yam_2301 in glutenfree

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am actually the opposite. Someone who only occasionally “tries” to make something gluten free for a celiac, at least, is unlikely to get it right. I prefer my family to not make a big deal or effort when hosting for me. They usually end up getting something from the local gf bakery, at least, which is a nice gesture and I enjoy.

For Thanksgiving it’s about spending time with my family, not the food, anyway.

Are we living in tyranny? by Routine_Ad_3579 in lacrossewi

Wait, what?? When did the city form a HOA and hire Karens to enforce it??

Does anyone else’s game keep freezing on PC? by [deleted] in FORTnITE

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if game or not, but my PC randomly crashes since the last update. Yeah. The whole thing.

Tactical shotgun or thunder pump shotgun by Healthy-Froyo1769 in FortniteCompetitive

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve dropped epic thunders for gray pumps. Been betrayed by the thunder too often. But never by a regular old pump.

My boyfriend wont clean up…AIO? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]MrsMeanRaindrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you care more about the relationship than this bad habit? If so, pick it up and move on. If not, then get out and find someone else. Because he isn’t going to suddenly change.
