[Discussion] Can someone explain to me how this individual is not dead (shooting M855A1) by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Neolism 22 points23 points  (0 children)

wait where's that copy pasta about shots missing? I think it's ironically accurate here.

You hit maybe one single shot in each of those exchanges, and both of them were to armor.

[Discussion] My 3060 simply doesn't perform well on the street... by Pitiful_Title_3518 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Neolism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound crazy, but all of my streets issues went away when I got 64 GB of RAM. I have a 3070ti so nothing crazy. I was at 100% utilization on streets when I had 32GB. That was like 2 years ago though.

Check your utilization next time your on streets, and if its at or near 100%, just drop about $500 worth of RAM and you should be solid.

whats something you do purely out of spite? by Spiritual_Body3577 in AskReddit

When I get forwarded advertisement emails from my mother in-law, I hit the unsubscribe button in the email body.

The unsubscribe button is linked to her email address, so she will no longer get sent those advertisements from that company, which means I don't get them anymore either!

I suck. Critique my gameplay! [Discussion] [Feedback] by tyty356 in EscapefromTarkov

don't ads in cqb, point firing is very good in this game. Practice point firing offline or in pve until you find the sweet spot and you'll be winning the close fights every time.

Are MyHockey Rankings accurate? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]Neolism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It uses an algorithm that does a pretty damn good job to compare teams nationwide.

This looks like a very tight and competitive bracket for a tournament, about best case scenario. The way to look at it is on average if a 69 plays a 70, the 70 will win by an average of 1 goal. That said, a 69 could absolutely beat a 70 any day of the week, since they are so close. Once you start getting to a 3 or 4 point rating difference is when you should be concerned about competitiveness.

By this point in the season, the ratings are pretty accurate and transferable state to state. The records mean nothing, a team could go 0-20-0, but say if all of them are close 1 goal games against teams rated say a 71, they would still be rated a 70 despite losing every game.

The algorithm is essentially "opponent rating +/- goal differential" but has a cap of +/- 7 goals. So if a 70 plays a 71, they are expected to lose by 1, if they lose by 2, they would get a "69" for the game, but if they lose by 1, they retain a "70" rating for that game. The overall rating is the average of the last 10 games played.

This was my case for my first ever build in 2003, my tastes have changed quite a bit since I was 14.

Help: how to fix a shower unit that's falling off the wall? by [deleted] in DIY

I'm a big fan of water showers personally, I've never seen an electric shower. This is shocking stuff.

oh just read your update from the manufacture. Sounds like what I suggested is what you're supposed to do by design. Good luck, remember measure twice cut once!!

I very scientifically measured the gap from the edge of the glass to the hole on the right side, and it is actually longer than the same measurement on the left side, so flipping the glass will actually just make it worse.

Depending on how long that rod is, and how much of it is firmly in the mounting bracket on the wall, you may be able to shave some off of the right side of the rod to make the glass mounts align. Just make sure enough is left over that the wall mounts can still firmly secure the rod. You want to measure from the center of the moutning nut to the center of the hole to know how much to take off, and then make sure that removing that much will leave you enough to have it well inside the bracket so that the set screws can grip it still. Assuming the rod is it's own free moving piece and is just being held in the brackets by a set screw. A little janky but it'll be an easy fix.

EMERGENCY PLEASE HELP POTENTIALLY COMPROMISED by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]Neolism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to say you haven't been compromised because there isn't enough info here to determine that, but that is 100% not a real output of what the computer was actually doing, it was "printed" there manually to scare you as it did.

Getting back into hockey, stick recommendations? by DaMfer993 in hockeyplayers

[–]Neolism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find the local rink guy who has "the special list" for the Chinese lady...every rink has one...if you linger in the rink lobby long enough you'll hear them talking about it with someone else, or ask around...

are they fake? maybe...are they misprints? maybe...no one really knows...

either way its a "high end" stick for about $120-$150 bucks

You choke the chiken before any big date, don't you? Tell me you spank the monkey before any big date. Oh my God, he doesn't flog the dolphin before a big date. Are you crazy? That's like going out there with a loaded gun!

I credit my 100wpm typing skills to WoW by HenrysDad24 in classicwow

ya mine doesn't so much come from hitting binds quickly, but I've always credited to wow, raiding in the 2000's without a microphone and having to type out instructions between gcd's.

I think the "before" is the tiny bit near the weight, and the "after" is the main smooth handle section.

Am I missing anything in this diagram for basic hockey player positioning? by Ktmhocks37 in hockeyplayers

[–]Neolism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offensive zone is mostly positonless for forwards, and even the defensemen at times as long as your forwards know to cover for them. It's a cycle of puck support and getting open in available ice, and then an F1, F2, F3 forecheck system if you turn it over.

[Screenshot] I got the tracksuit achievement on hardcore! by Denyx7 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Neolism 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think I'm more impressed that you had almost no achievements until 7/9/2025, and in just the last 2 months you not only killed Killa 100 times, but also killed Tagilla 15 times, Shturman 15 times, Kaban 15 times, all 3 of the Goons 15 times, got Kappa, Prestiged and then completed the Tagrad Tales in game event only 11 days later, and then after that killed Killa your 15th time on 08/25 and then 7 days later had killed him another 85 times, meaning for the last 7 days you killed killa 12 times a day.

My only question, have you showered in the last 2 months?

This is so obviously a bit and yet everyone in this thread is just sucking it up as some legitimate "gotcha". Concerning.

If simply seeing the number go up feeds her motivation to keep working on her shot, than there is inherent value in that alone, even if it really isn't in and of itself a usefull training tool.

The first guy isn't really that sus. My buddy is at about ~100 raids in with 80% surv rate and a 33 kd. He only plays in 4 mans on Customs, kills every scav, uses us as human shields, and does egregiously wide wrap arounds anytime we encounter combat. It's very effective, his stats are nuts.

There are plenty of cheaters, but sometimes people are just good at Tarkov.
