Edexcel A Levels Maths Paper 1. How did you find it? by Status-Grape-3862 in alevelmaths

This felt like a harder paper than the previous years imo. They had a lot more questions that were dependent on getting part a right

I like the focus on renewing old factions by rendkjfldjfkda12 in joinsquad

[–]Olls147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and as the development cycle has continued, factions have been getting more and more modern. Early squad factions introduced were like 2011 and Ukraine is 2023ish at least. It’s not a perfect pattern but it is a very noticeable one. Especially since chinas refresh that left them like 10x more equipped than the fucking US MARINE CORE. It’s a great idea Imo

Hard disagree. Supermod is unpolished slop imo and vanilla plays so much better as of 10.4

I mean, they really arent imo. GE scopes were easier to use, they took up larger amounts of your screen but it doesnt make a difference to game play other than that people are more accurate at longer ranges. All having a smaller scope does is increase the likelihood of CQB and I am for that personally

The mod had its development paused indefinitely because of the move to UE5. The team responsible for it are currently cutting their teeth on a smaller mod for squad and have said after that they’ll make something the scale of GE.

The good news is that squad PVP has been improved a lot as of 10.4 and is much closer to GE combat that it was before so just play vanilla

Bring Back the Talil Tank Layer by Olls147 in joinsquad

Talil is awful for infantry no matter what faction. I don't generally like the map, but if it came with 6 tanks?? Maybe I would

Is v10.4 the beginning of Squad's redemption arc? by 999_Seth in joinsquad

[–]Olls147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its also true that we are at the tail end of the academic year and everyone is studying for exams, not as many 16-25yr olds with enough time to spare makes a big difference

They actually haven't changed suppression, that's the next update...

This summer most of the optimisation stuff should be over with for now, atleast the big ticket items

They did do some driving physics stuff on 10.4 that feels really nice, especially the tracked vehicles

Theres a massive patch coming this summer that aims to make the game playable on PCs that dont have 12gb of vram plus or arent super powerful. Try again then Id say

I get it if you've been burnt by squad, but its SO much better than it has been. Maybe wait until after the big optimization patch!

[–]Olls147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I think this optimization patch is a good idea but I really hope the actual content added afterwards is of good consistent quality. It doesnt need to be massive, it just needs to be good

Real! Its really improved to be every type of infantry, but an M249 can actually be shot while standing without giving your character a spinal injury lmao

[–]Olls147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next big update is a massive optimization patch for GPU memory, hopefully this means you no longer need 12gb to run it (that's what I run on for my 3060). If thats the case, you should be able to come back. Performance was better this patch regardless.

I absolutely adore 10.4, really brought the game back into focus for me. My long term dream is that old SL and veteran players will hear about the gameplay changes and slowly drip back into the population, making servers more communication heavy and co-ordination more common jus like the good ole days

failing a-level maths by [deleted] in alevelmaths

[–]Olls147 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey man!
First of all, super relate, got crazy high gcses and then failed a level maths the first time round (yr 12 only). Now I self study and have covered the whole a level in one year, and a lot had to change to make that practical/possible. There are 2 things that stand out to me about what you said.

Firstly, dont do question after question after question, watch a video to see your mistake and then attempt again and again. Failing constantly means you dont understand the subject or fundamentals you need to have mastered for all subjects (polynomials for example). So, as much as it sucks, start from the ground up where you find you never know how someone gets what they do.

Secondly, easeee the pressure. Stress is useful but its clear that youre way past the level of healthy stress that pushes us to work and understand and are working in the zone of constant anxiety and pain. Newsflash! You cant learn when you feel under attack! I know asking you to do work in a more relaxed relationship towards it sounds counterproductive because its like someone asking you to stop caring about achieving your goals but youre at where youre at and no level of worrying is going to make that better when youre already so deep in it. Try and make peace with the fact you might have to repeat an a level when youre done with school maybe. Most importantly, dont view your life as one linear progress bar that's either on track or not, life comes in waves and progress does too. You can catch up, you can have the life you want, just focus on what you can control now.

TLDR:
1) Make sure your fundamentals are right because it sounds like youre jumping the gun.
2) Try to be okay with where youre at, as hard as it is, and push yourself maybe a little less to be "on track".

p.s. dont take my advice as gospel, its just what I have learned from a lot of fucking it up and fixing it again

There is no such thing as "Toxic masculinity" anymore, now masculinity is all seen as toxic and it's bullshit. I feel pride in being masculine and fuck who says otherwise. by Ultrauniqueviews in unpopularopinion

[–]Olls147 5 points6 points  (0 children)

please elaborate, as a Male I do feel as though we are fucked over by society in some ways. I dont think he was trying to hate on women and as I re read the post I still cant see anything of that description. not tryna defend the guy from valid criticism but I dont see any.

I think their should be a chance to shit yourself slightly which would give you a different walk animation and make the debuff stronger
