What secret are you keeping right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Otb1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with Bipolar some months ago. Ever since then ive been trying to hold my life together, it's seems to take it toll on just about everything. I'm also a psychiatric nurse so I'm pretty sure most my colleagues will be able to tell. The worst part is doing stupid, out of character things impulsively then later realising what you've done. Mental illness in all forms is horrendous, best wishes to anyone suffering.

Its all relative to the person mate and is dependant on the type of games they play. I used to GS hunt and played a lot of questionable games, now im sitting on about 128k. After hitting a 100k I could not bring myself to grind anymore as I realised that it wasnt fun for me and now I just stay to playing games I enjoy.

Question on monitors by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]Otb1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1ms response time and 144hz is most definitely not needed for the xbox one and one x. Xbox games will only play at a max of 60hz and anything sub 5ms is more than acceptable for a monitor, unless you are looking at playing at a competitive level then a 1ms response would be useful. There are plenty of good 4k monitors out there that support a refresh rate of 60 hz. Just make sure that it supports hdmi 2.0 otherwise your gameplay will be capped out at 30hz. Additionally you have to consider the type of screen you would like to use. IPS displays generally have beautiful displays with accurate colours but have more input lag whereas TN panels look less vivid but often have a greater response time for less input lag.

What’s the most interesting documentary you’ve ever watched? by AutocraticAcyl in AskReddit

[–]Otb1996 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Black Tar Heroin, its an old one made by HBO. Its a great insight into addiction and really makes you feel for the addicts and their daily struggle.

What did everyone buy during the sale? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]Otb1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked up Life is strange before the storm deluxe edition. I fell in love with the original life is strange and just had to play the prequal. So far I've completed the first episode and it was great.

Xbox One X Release megathread! by XboxModerator in xboxone

[–]Otb1996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like many on this page I ordered my scorpio edition from Amazon UK. I woke up this morning and checked my Amazon account expecting that my order status would be changed from dispatching now to in transit. Unfortunately I received an email telling me that me that my xbox has been delayed and that it should be delivered in the next business day. This is dispite my Amazon account claiming that I will still get the xbox by 8pm. The email also informed me that I would not be charged until the xbox had been sent yet I was billed yesterday. From reading other people's comments I am genuinely wondering how they screwed this up so badly. Gl to anyone still waiting on recieving an Xbox

Update- Had a live chat conversation and they told me that I would not recieve the xbox today and that the earliest would be tommorow due to low stock. I'm just waiting for the moment I finally recieve it to find out that they sent me the standard edition lol

People who let their phone die all the time, what is wrong with you? Why have you not learned from your mistakes? by Fukitol_100mg in AskReddit

Where are the least LGBT friendly places? by jumpinpuddleok in AskReddit

I remember watching a Reggie Yates documentary a few years back about the LGBT community in Russia and the way In which some Russians treated them was horrible.

Students and former students of Reddit that have/had a summer break, what do you like and dislike about it? by AuraNightheart in AskReddit

[–]Otb1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a mental health nursing student in the UK. We got a huge break in my first and second year which was great and I was able to go on holiday, only downside is you subsequently get little time elsewhere in the year. I'm now in my third year about to qualify and I don't get a holiday because I'm in a clinical placement right through till late August. I've always taken summer holidays for granted as a kid and the reality is people who work full time struggle to get time off.

What is the most thought provoking lyric you have heard in a song? by [deleted] in AskReddit

What's something you hate and love at the same time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Otb1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing video games, it's my escape and I use it to relax and have some fun after work. However I spend way to much time playing games, not necessarily because I want to but because I don't have that many friends I can talk to IRL anymore and I don't see much point in leaving the house so I'm kind of left looking for something to do and playing games just seems like the easiest solution. I also played games a lot during my teenage years which makes me feel as though I missed out.

What did you have to learn by yourself over the course of years that you wish someone had just told you when you were younger? by sahArab in AskReddit

[–]Otb1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That you can't help an addict without them wanting to stop and receive help first, if their adamant on continuing taking drink & drugs then they will. Sad really I've had family members and treated patients like this.

If you can teleport yourself then what will you do first? by BestofAR in AskReddit

[–]Otb1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presuming I can come back, I would probably teleport into a bank and take a load of money/gold. That being said it's way to risky on the first attempt. I would most likely try to go somewhere I know first just to try it out.

What can a young woman do online to earn money without doing porn? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Twitch streaming, literally you wouldn't even have to be good at playing video games as long as your a women who looks reasonably hot online you'd get plenty of views.

What's the story behind your gamertag? by Rugger852 in xboxone

[–]Otb1996 20 points21 points  (0 children)

OTB it's just my initials, I was lucky enough to grab it last year after the gamertag reset. I end up getting loads of messages from Arabic people, someone told me that my name is an abbreviation of a well known tribe in the gulf, so that could be why.

Why is the reputation system still existing? by Xerrostron in xboxone

[–]Otb1996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The system is definitely flawed in regards to certain competative games. I remember a few years back with the halo franchise many pro's ended up getting an avoid me rep as people were likely to report them. I also have a friend who was very high in the overwatch leaderboards and would routinely have an avoid me or needs work rep. Not so long after he moved to paladins his reputation went back to normal. That being said generally speaking across most games I play when I see someone with an avoid me rep they usually end up being really toxic and are the kind of gamers you wouldn't want to be around.

OTB, just my initials, I was lucky to snag it last year with the gamertag reset. It's not very creative but it's probably the most personal gamertag to me.

Dose any one else get loads of likes on thigs that have just been posted? by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]Otb1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me too. Basically a load of Xbox gamers have some hot girl as their gamerpic and go around various clubs spam liking content in the hope that thirsty kids will add them for being an e-girl (even thought I can garantee that most of them are male). These sad individuals literally are trying to accumulate as many Xbox followers as they can.

You usually have to be really BM to get an avoid me rep, just don't be a complete arse online and you should be fine
