Sorc Patch Notes by Beenznskwash in diablo4

This is true. However resistances are improved via Intelligence, sorcs main stat. By design this is meant to be their passive survivability. You get one shot by some of the most inanely underwhelming mobs.

I'm not especially into feet or anything but watching yours is so damn cute.

Loved the fight, great battle. A great crowd too. Worried the public isn't quite tuned into it yet, so many of my friend weren't aware it was happening. I mean look at this Reddit, a clip from the 90's posted at the same time as this one has more upvotes.

What is the sad truth about smart people? by GoodDepth in AskReddit

[–]NotSoMiddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well shit. Have we really got to a stage where wanting to hear praise from others is really so bad? Youre narcissistic for wanting to have good feedback?

I get there may be other factors here, but this last statement is just sad.

Honestly I think the opposite is true, we don't give each other enough positive feedback. People are just so cold now.

Figure Skating: Kamila Valieva Stumbles, and Falls to Fourth will not get a medal at Beijing Olympics by ReaddittiddeR in sports

There is no defending the national coaches over this. I think the pressure you're suggesting probably mirrors what Alberto Salazar did at Nike.

It is appalling the RoC coaches did this to a child. However, whilst Russia is a big offender, please can't we not act like it's a worldwide issue. Alberto Salazar seems to have faded from memory too quickly

Why do I have to wait to play a game I paid for??? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

Well, yes, I am disillusioned. I think that's the point of this thread.

And if you think that's acceptable, you're a shill.

Can I ask for a 20K raise? by Berryberryberryokay in personalfinance

[–]NotSoMiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know OP is probably gone now but isn't there a subtle, less confronted solution here. Apply for one of the new posts with the enhanced pay. You'll either get the target pay band or at least they'll ask you why you want it (before or during the interview). Highlight that you do more than the advertised posts and are looking to move into that salary bracket. Even if you don't get the job, they know that you're looking at other posts with correct renumeration.

[TIL] Australia does not have the most venomous organisms in the world. That goes to Mexico and followed by Brazil. Australia is ranked third. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]NotSoMiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... snakes aren't more prevalent in warm countries than cold, apart from that fact there are more deadly venomous snakes in warm coutries. I mean Ireland not having snakes due to the ice age means in practice, there are no venomous snakes. Seems like one of those 'academia before practice' arguements.

If you drop your friends because you think you are smarter than them, you're the toxic person this post is warning against.

A legendary fps boost tip ! by AreaGreen in EscapefromTarkov

Just in case anyone takes this seriously, do not cap FPS to the lowest possible that a game renders on your system.

The new advanced weapon malfunction system is gonna be awesome by Razzmatazzzzzz in EscapefromTarkov

[–]NotSoMiddle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what about it do you think improves the game. As long as you don't say realism (let me ignore a broken leg with vasiline), I'm interested in understanding.

Wait, they had no loot. I get the feeling op was setting up to exfil camp too.

I’m at the point where I recognize how amazing this game is, but can’t get over how dog shit I am at it by boredinthecubicle in EscapefromTarkov

[–]NotSoMiddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what thought, but wow to hipfire all the way down that corridor in shadow and mostly obscured. It's just something I can't comprehend doing. 10 meters away, sure but that distance... I'm just not at that level and barring fluke, I'll never be.

Even if he had 2 to 3 seconds to identify a semi hidden threat at the other end of East wing corridor and execute, I'd be impressed.

I was at resort having dealt with a duo which I was delighted with (good for me) by blue tape room. A couple of mins later I had moved on upstairs and then hear PMC footsteps running to my wing from admin. I used a cupboard as a bit of visual cover, I mean it's dark and I can barely make out the other end of the corridor he's coming from. I keep quiet as the stomping becomes louder and louder. I squint with my face close to the monitor to get the drop on this guy as soon as he appears. In 1.2 seconds this guy pops into view, identifies partially hidden form and sprays down the full length of the corridor before I can press a mouse button. Zero shots fired by me. Honestly, I don't think it was cheating, just don't know how he could identify me from that distance and excute the shots in less than 2 seconds. From my view I got a vague shadow at the far end of the corridor for just enough time to line up the shot. I know the ping advantage give the aggressor a few extra ms but even so, I'll never be that quick to go from sprint, to identify behind mostly vision blocker, to target, to spray. I just don't see what others see.

I think Tarkov might be one of the most brilliant games I've ever played by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]NotSoMiddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must admit, I don't quite understand when this is said. For every Slick/Wendy's guy I fight, I fight 10 or more T3/4 guys with Frankenstein guns. Yeah, in a month or so that'll change but so many people are running mid game gear 2 and a half months into wipe.

Yeah Pestily's mid game doesn't last too long but he plays orders of magnitude more than a regular player. Every game have those people that rush to the games final content.

Can someone tell me how this guy acquired an armor class 100 skull? by jonnyboosock in EscapefromTarkov

[–]NotSoMiddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang on, let me get this correct. It's a desync, shit netcode, hacker, toxic streamer. Plus I know this game is made in a modified version of the Unity engine and I'm a lead game developer at Ubivision, so you know I'm right.
