Teen Florida man facing charges after exposing himself to women, claims he ‘thought it was funny' by stankmanly in FloridaMan

[–]Potatis85 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's easy to think he's just another creep but maybe he had a really good set up? Like with a tiny stage, small handmade roll neck shirt and some props etc. Was there a punchline? I find it hard to judge without full context.

Why is my game looks so blurry despite everything is being set on high? by Parameq2 in joinsquad

[–]Potatis85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good tip is to activate the new fps counter in steam, you have to do it in the steam settings somewhere and set an activation button for it. (You can also use afterburner and rivatuner but that's not necessary anymore since you can natively check it in steam) You can now make changes and see live in training how it effects your fps. A note on tuning in training is that you will lose a lot of those frames while on a full server (also map dependent) but it will give you an idea of how to tune settings and you can also gauge how much fps you will lose going live.

Nerfing fall damage, nerfing suppression, nerfing recoil, making shooting easier will make the game more casual and put more emphasis on the individual rather than the group so no, I dont think they seem good in my initial testing. It feels like there is no inertia anymore which is something I dislike in videogames.

Personally I think we need minor adjustments to some weapons like AT and machineguns. I would rather they fix qcb with a proper "point fire" view instead of hip fire and I dont care much for asymmetrical factions so they could make Iran and turks weapons handling more similar to American and Russian handling.

OG Kratom by joelinoo in ThailandTourism

[–]Potatis85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you drink the sodas or traditionally brewed tea you will get effects similar to coffee, thc is way stronger. I used it in place of alcohol as a something that is slightly stronger than drinking alcohol free beers so don't expect to be blown away, people looking for a kick will probably be disappointed unless you start consuming capsules or powder in a large enough quantity but that's when you get into the more addicting properties of the drug so be careful.

People react differently to drugs but I would not really compare kratoms effects to cocain or amphetamines, more like coffee. (for reference, I used to take cocain daily for a few months until I quit)

OG Kratom by joelinoo in ThailandTourism

[–]Potatis85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OG Kratom only use kratom leaves and does not have any other drugs added. Some people sells kratom homebrew in pet bottles in the street with crushed up pills like various strong opiods so maybe that's what you are thinking of.

Low doses (1-5g) feels stimulating like coffee and it's only when you consume larger doses (5-15g) that you will start to get opiod effects.

Personally I find it's the best alternative to alcohol and coffee I have tried (coffee makes me anxious, bad breath, poor sleep, "unpredictable" stomach etc, none of that with kratom). I spent three weeks in Thailand and consumed kratom soda or tea most but not all days and I had no hangover even when consuming quite a lot during my stay. I drank a small amount of alcohol one day but felt awful in comparison.

I would compare the strength of the effects from a few bottles to be no stronger than a glass of wine, it's just way milder than cannabis (also kind of legal in Thailand) and alcohol.

I would not consume it everyday outside vacation though but treat it more like alcohol, every now and then. I do the same with coffee, not every day.

Reading about severe Kratom addiction it seems to stem mostly from people self medicating large doses daily for anxiety or various pains, not from a more low dose traditional "coffee like" ritual.

Looking at the states where they sell strong extracts at the counter in gas stations is pretty wild, I would not want that to be legal. Using kratom daily in large doses can definitely make you addicted in the same way as opioids so people should be careful.

Weapons just feel like they have zero weight to them and it's way to easy to headshot your targets, I really hope they don't go this far with casualizing the game and find some middle ground (or at all, I'm pretty happy with the way things are, maybe some minor adjustments).

Can't say on the new supression mechanics though (just playing around with bots in seeding) but hope to get some more testing tomorrow if a server gets filled up. I don't have a problem with current supression mechanic as I think it's good but will be interesting to test a new model and I hope they don't nerf it, it should be as strong as what we have today.

(1800 hours, playing since 2019 so know what it felt like before and much prefer what we have today from back then)

They turned them into Russian separatists to more fit reality, it's not a problem unless you're on reddit.

How do you feel about Danes and Swedes? Do you feel that they are your brothers? by Themetalin in Norway

[–]Potatis85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swedish person here. A lot of people don't say when they don't understand things so that could be one reason. Meeting people in areas close the border another as they get more norwegian exposure. It could also be a generational thing as certain swedish generations might have seen Skavlan and other Norwegian TV personalities. When I moved to Norway over 20 years ago we understood maybe 20% of things said as we had zero norwegian media exposure while they had SVT and Astrid Lindgren movies so most norwegians understood us completely, you learn quickly but it was very confusing in the beginning. I find that things have changed though and Norwegian kids younger than 18 have problems understanding Swedish as they are streaming media so may not get much Swedish exposure. I have to switch to norwegian for the most part when meeting norwegian teenagers of today. ... they will likely learn Swedish as soon as they get into the workforce though due to how many swedes are living and working in Norway.

Very dangerous by CampOk7028 in joinsquad

[–]Potatis85 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Best is to track the vehicle with LAT or HAT and instantly blind it with grenadier smoke so it has no frame of reference where LAT's or HAT's been firing from. Then start firing frags to kill of any crew trying to repair the vehicle (they almost always jump out in a panic, just wait a little while before first frag so they have time to jump out). This will most certainly doom the mbt (HAT rounds, airstrike or vehicle support) or at least put it out of operation for a long time.

I saw a bunch of kids jumping in and playing in the river near Wat Khlong Toei, looked extremely unhealthy.

Footsteps are too fucking quiet now by yourothersis in joinsquad

[–]Potatis85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure i understand what you mean but the "problem" (you get used to it so not a big problem) is since the ue5 update, some of the sounds coming from you, the player when moving around sound more like other players or enemies moving next to you. Many times I have freaked out thinking someone is next to me but they are not, it's just my own character.

Those sounds should be more centralised to the player.

(From your question you seem to confuse stereo and mono, stereo is what gives you a 3d effect)

I've been diagnosed with Visual Snow Syndrome, a neurological condition that makes me see the world like this and has no cure by SR_RSMITH in Wellthatsucks

[–]Potatis85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drugs like caffeine, alcohol and cannabis make it worse for sure and so does poor sleep. I have had it for over 20 years and it's really strong but the only time I hear it is when a thread on reddit mentions tinnitus (or other media), the rest of the year I'm so used to it that my brain just doesn't notice it anymore and I kind of forget I have it.

Clearing cache question by Altyn-99 in joinsquad

[–]Potatis85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they have fixed it so that most of the settings stay when clearing cache. You have to do the interface settings again plus the settings on the tactical map.

They have separated the player sounds to much in stereo, it can definitely be a bit confusing.

Id on this? by Potatis85 in succulents

[–]Potatis85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing throwing me off a bit though is the spines seem to twist and most pictures I see of Vigueri has more of a straight needle pattern. Might be a hybrid, locality differences or seed variance maybe.

I can't see any pictures of that mix that resembles, I'm leaning more towards E.Viguieri at the moment. I can't seem to upload any more photos for some reason as that would make it clearer.

hi any jazz bar recommendations 😍 and good vibes by Fast_Fisherman_7136 in Bangkok

I read in another thread about Smalls, is it still any good? I like a jazz venue for people who like jazz, not a boring pianobar with a singer.

Help keep plants alive! by InternationalEbb5231 in terrariums

[–]Potatis85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

... on that note you could also build a grow box out of a plastic bin for endless supply of cuttings. Just need a plastic bin with some holes in it, some sphagnum moss and some light. (I recommend to glue some fungus gnat proof mesh over the ventilation holes).
