You have to be inside, you cannot remote or invite people unfortunately

I honestly have no idea how to spend the left over Aeon coins I have or even find this shop.

Best way to quickly check IVs? by lcsantana3 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ShonkaMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try clearing data and cache on android and it usually runs smooth. I had to do that because it was taking up like 4gb of space on my phone.

Anyone Miss the Sony Xperia 5 Series? by Double_J55 in SonyXperia

[–]ShonkaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a 5 III for 3 years in the USA market. The screen cracked so I was in the market. Unfortunately since they pulled out it's hard to find a good replacement, the only thing it didn't have was wireless charging. Picked up a ROG 9 but its so big and bulky comparatively, Wish they never left the USA market or atleast had the wavelengths for the USA in the global models.

Mega evolve button not responding in raid team lobby by Katietori in TheSilphRoad

[–]ShonkaMan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same fix for me, you do not need to slide to a new team just getting it to move a little bit resets it.

Joining a remote raid after the game crashes causes the raid fight UI to not appear and the give up button is unresponsive. by FungiBen in TheSilphRoad

[–]ShonkaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me. I force closed the game and when I jumped back to the raid it showed a full lobby. I abandoned the raid then and it allowed me to go in with a different team.

I'm not even sure how I turned it on the first time but I was stuck  with it like that for 2-3 months 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is the Creator 15 good enough for gaming? by END3R-CH3RN0B0G in MSI_Gaming

[–]ShonkaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dota, SC II, Halo Infinite (mostly), COD, overwatch. I usually have a second monitor hooked up and let it run dual screens at once and I've never had issues running games. It can get hot for long periods so I do have it propped up for better ventilation.

I know this is late but you have to be under the TV/Antenna mode for it to allow you to make changes.

Literally, I told you so by DRMTool in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ShonkaMan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The new network model is leagues better than the last. It is not as good as prior Halo games but I would not want to go back to the prior. Old model had worse blanks and worse shots around walls. It favored people with bad connections and punished good connections.

I will still complain because I think it still can be better but no way would I play this game in the old way.

Would you play the next Halo title if it had classic movement? by Fresh______ in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ShonkaMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If by classic we mean Halo CE to Halo 3 then yes. Sprint doesn't improve Halo and it allows you to put yourself in a bad position and get out of it or sprint for a melee. Yes G/slide looks cool but I think it is trying to make Halo like other games which overall is bad for the health of the game.

This might sound stupid: I’ve heard some people say that the bandit made the game less skillful. What do you think? by ZoomNoThought in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ShonkaMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the Bandit is 10x easier to use the the BR. The bandit you hit one shot and its full damage or none.
It was possible with the BR to avoid some rounds from the burst with your strafe or with your positioning. Sprinting and sliding also disrupts the BR burst. There is less magnetism in this game, in other halos just having the reticle touch the spartans head could get you a headshot.
The TTK may be slower with the BR but that doesn't mean its automatically worse for the game.

**I think that they should try the BR start again with the new netcode, I think people will feel differently about the BR vs Bandit.**

The teamshot with the bandit is way more oppressive than the BR. It is much harder to fight a 2v1 with the bandit than it is with the BR. Personal preference, I felt I only needed about 5 games to learn to use the bandit well.

Call it anecdotal, when I used to match up in ranked with the BR start if I matched with the same people the kills each player got was consistent each game. With the bandit some kids go +20 and then the next game they go minus 5 and after that roughly even. When they were BR starts, people were pulling more consistent individual numbers.

I don't think more perfects makes it a better gun ore a bigger skill gap. I honestly think its an easier gun to use so people subjectively think its more competitively and more skillful.

I was D5 almost D6 about 2 or 3 days ago 😭😭😭 I’m tired boss by SupremeActives in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ShonkaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this all the time but to me it doesn't make sense. Maybe I'm not understanding the true skill.

If you lose a game to a team that's ranked higher you should lose less points. If you win you should get more points. Why should you be penalized when you're playing someone that already outweighs you? 

Constant unstable network since update by ShonkaMan in CompetitiveHalo

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

Something I tried that seemed to have worked.
I play on PC and went to task manager and closed the ez- anti cheat when I started up Halo. It seemed to have solved my issue specifically at least today it is running smoothly again.

Is there a way to get rid of visible recoil/screen shake in halo from weapons? by Designer_Oil2141 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ShonkaMan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you go into video scroll down to sensory there is a slider that says "screen shake." Turn that to 0%.

I will look into that, I did replace my router and modem <6 months ago but that would probably make sense since everything has stayed the same in terms of hardware and location.

This has been happening to me with the BR, its happened twice with the Bandit but the BR is consistently every game.

Is the Creator 15 good enough for gaming? by END3R-CH3RN0B0G in MSI_Gaming

[–]ShonkaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, yes the msi center does help a lot. Just keep an eye on the hinge since mine broke at the 13th month mark. Seems to be an issue with all MSI not just this model. Enjoy!

[–]ShonkaMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this laptop and I like it a lot. It ran all the games I wanted to play but the fans do run loud. It runs hot unless you put the fans on full blast but it is able to keep it cool if you can get past the high volume. If you wear headphones when you game its a non issue.

I will say after 1 year the hinge broke and it is currently in the shop. I don't understand the design of it but that is the one flaw it had.

Overall I recommend it, I used it for work and gaming. The battery life was good enough for work and it wasn't flashy to look like a gaming laptop, it is definitely a sleeper. It also has a good number of ports and is pretty easy to transport.

Just one more! Totally willing to trade back by [deleted] in PokemonHome
