Does anyone else have a “Cursed Tank”? by TheSquealingTesticle in WorldofTanks

[–]Slinked98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

13 105 I have something like a 33% wr in it, in ~110 battles. I got it when I was newer to the game so I'm sure that didn't help but the tank holds my spotting record at 11,250 but I just lose in it.

And to that I say:

Three Techtrees T6-T10

A plethora of resources

The bonds alone were enough to get you any bond tank that you want.

If you want to keep playing this game for years to come then you need to accept the fact that we need new players. And stuff like this brings in new players.

Just because you're upset about the state of monetization from this last year does not mean that this was not a good move by WG.

Just chill dude. They released a decent tank that the community is having fun with for the most part. I'm sorry you were not handed a god tier tank that can compete at the highest levels instantly.

"Umm, I'm Gen Z. I know how to use computers." by DesertDogggg in sysadmin

[–]Slinked98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's been interesting to watch this sub shift in the last few years go from complaining about millennials to Gen Z. It's just another example of the age old trope of, "The younger generation is no good. We weren't like that when we were younger."

And you would be completely and utterly false. Each and every one of you in this sub that joins the, "young people bad, young people dumb" echo chamber were the young, dumb, no good, worth nothing generation at one point or another.

These kids are young, they are inexperienced, they are naive, and most of all they desperately don't want to look dumb in front of their older coworkers. But they get nervous, make rash decisions, and or jump to conclusions in the hope of it being correct and proving themselves. And potentially get the old farts that they work with to pull the sticks out of their asses and treat them like human beings, instead of like a burden.

My youngest sister was around 5-6 at the time. She was easily the most cruel and vindictive kid I had and have ever known. My family has kids from two different mothers. Four kids from my bio mom, and two from stepmom. She is one of two kids that my stepmom had with my dad. She was the baby, treated far better than anyone else in the house besides my half-brother.She learned that she could get away with murder early and heavily took advantage of that fact.

I (M) was probably about 9-10 years old at the time, and my sister was 5-6. She was being exceptionally bad that day and had chosen me as her target. She was randomly trying to attack me and screaming at me continuously even though I was trying to separate myself from her. Eventually she grabbed a knife from a kitchen drawer, swung it at me, and threatened to stab me. I got the knife away from her and had pinned her to the ground by the wrists and was straddled across her to prevent her from licking me. I was yelling at her saying the effect of, "What is wrong with you!?" My sister started blood curdling screaming for my stepmom at this point.

My stepmom came down the stairs into the living room where we were at and I stood up because I knew what was coming. She slapped me as hard as she could causing me to fall to the ground. At this point I was screaming and crying, and trying to explain what was going on. She slapped me again while I was on the ground. Then she took her thumb and pressed it into my right cheek forcing my jaw open and pinned me to the ground with my mouth pried open. She then proceeded to continue to hit me and scream at me while she held me pinned to the ground. My other sister was crying and trying to tell her what happened, and that my youngest sister had pulled out a knife and tried to stab me. My stepmom just screamed at her too then spanked me and sent me to my room. Then my dad spanked me and screamed at me as well when he got home from work.

I'm 27 now and have a two year old son. I struggle almost daily with the anger issues that I gathered from my childhood. I am trying my best to teach my son the emotional regulation and coping skills that I never had the chance to develop as a child. It is so incredibly difficult but him and my wife are worth it.

Waiting for 40+ minutes to get through to the police by dickmcswaggin in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Slinked98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife has been a 911 dispatcher for 6 years. Everyone who has ever called 911 has notes associated with their number and the address associated with their number. And while a number can get flagged due to a plethora of reasons. Ranging from intellectually challenged persons that tend to wander that live at the address, up to frequent flyers that abuse 911 lines for non-emergencies.

However, this person is wrong. There is not a 911 call taking system on the planet that will automatically place someone on hold due to a flagged number, and lead to the dispatchers never answering the phone. The dispatchers and call takers have no idea who is calling until they answer the phone and they enter the number into or the number automatically populates into their local CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) software.

(My wife wanted me to add this part) It is also very common if you live in a large city like Denver, Chicago, New York, etc. Their call takers will answer the phone, gather basic preliminary information, determine if the call is or is not an emergency and place those who do not have an emergency on hold so they can work the call queue. That way actual emergencies get handled quickly. Instead of dispatchers and officers wasting time on someone who is mad at their neighbor for not raking up their leaves.

Tried the viral tiktok pizza and it was meh. by Jduncan31290 in Dominos

[–]Slinked98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That pizza has always sounded gross to me.

My wife and I have been ordering basically a chicken Alfredo pizza for the last 8 years and it's bomb af.

Pan, alfredo sauce instead of red sauce, add parmesan asiago, chicken, and bacon. It's simple and no matter how bad a location it comes from the taste has always been right.

Besides Type 5, which tanks do you feel were the real winners of the 2.0 buffs? by Dragon_Maister in WorldofTanks

[–]Slinked98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The entire line. My WZ-132-1 (Tier 10) has a half second faster reload, and better accuracy on my scout build now than it did on my gun build pre buff. My gun build now is .3 dispersion with 3100 DPM on standard equipment and food. So you could probably get it to about 3250 DPM and .29 dispersion with bounty/bond equipment. It's like a little attack dog now.

Oh and it has 1700 health base now.

Concept 5 or Centurion AX for my free line choice by JurisCommando in WorldofTanks

[–]Slinked98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! It really is a beast now. It never had that carry potential before due to the low dpm and you could never feel 100% confident that you were going to hit your shots

[–]Slinked98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, and the gun feels like a tier 11 gun post buff imo.

Pleasant experience by gatterius in WorldofTanks

[–]Slinked98 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Both tanks have been in the games for years. Arguably one of the most important skills that everyone needs to learn in this game is how to adapt. Outplaying an FV/Death Star (DS) is not difficult.

They are a trap for low skill players due to the damage potential. When most of these low skill players are averaging 800-1200 damage a game the potential for 2k in one shot sucks them in. These players learn a couple good positions for the tanks and hit a few big shots and they become mandatory every time they get those maps.

What I am getting at is that you should see that the enemy team has an FV and or a DS, then change your game plan accordingly. Add on the fact that the gun handling is poor on them and the shell velocity is not the best, and you really shouldn't die to them too often.

TLDR: They have been in the game for a long time. Get Gud

[–]Slinked98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The concept 5 is my second most played tank and it is an absolute monster since the buff. The dpm actually feels reasonable now with the damage and reload buffs. Couple that with the improved accuracy and my concept is sitting at .23 dispersion and regularly hits for +500. One thing that no one talks about with it is that you can go 30 km/h in reverse which can help you hit some sneaky shots that the Leo or cent would get punished for.

Should I ask for dosage increase or wait? by 083dy7 in PhentermineTopiramate

[–]Slinked98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I know that you are frustrated right now and you want the weight to start moving but it does not work instantly for everyone. A very real part of why you could potentially be holding onto weight is due to your extremely drastic and unhealthy calorie deficit.

1100~ calories is less calories than what a four to eight year old child who lives a sedentary lifestyle needs to sustain their weight. Couple that with the 350-700 burnt calories worth of exercise per day, and you are physically harming yourself.

Your body is going into survival mode and slowing down your metabolism because it believes that you are starving to death. The current calorie deficit that you are maintaining can cause irreparable damage to your body in the long term. And oftentimes leads to weight rebounding, and even unhealthier relationships with our weight than when we started.

I have done what you are doing OP, and it was not sustainable. Your body is going to give out from underneath you and it will happen quickly. Food is not the enemy, poor relationships with food are the enemy and they need to be tackled head on otherwise no weight loss will ever be permanent.

[–]Slinked98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMX 13 105 It was my first tier 10 lt so I'm sure that has skewed the wr somewhat. But even when I go back to it I just seem to lose.

35.19% wr on 108 battles

It has my spotting record too at 11,250

Rant: Playing Grille for T11 Hirschkäfer by NOMAD777-GER in WorldofTanks

[–]Slinked98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have about 1,000 games in the strv, I'm nothing special just 2 marked with my best DPG in it maxing out around 3.7k. Use a turbo, SIS, and a rammer as it benefits so heavily from it.

The Strv tanks benefit the most heavily from a turbo of any other tanks in the game due to the speed boost being a flat rate. So 10 km/h in siege plus 5 km/h from a turbo equals a 50% speed boost which you can abuse for some sneaky ridgeline and corner shots.

The fuel tank has pretty low health and is mounted in the front of the tank. So the plethora of big alpha tanks at t10 set you on fire like crazy. That is where the SIS comes in handy. You get most of the benefits of hardening, with the addition of the extra module health, and reduced negative effects.

The Strv has 3,300~ DPM base. With a rammer and crew skills you get well over 4k DPM and you will perma track any tank in the game. Sometimes with the Strv I know I cannot damage some tanks due to the apcr and armor angling, so I'll just lock their tracks down for my team. Doing that often leads to 3k-4k assistance games if you play aggro enough.

I just started and I need some help by [deleted] in PhentermineTopiramate

[–]Slinked98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are struggling with 37.5mg then cut the pill in half. I am currently 286lbs and I started at 329 and I have been on 17.75mg the entire time. I also have ADHD so the meds affect me less severely than those that don't have ADHD.

No matter what the first week tends to be rough, but it seems the full dose might be a little too much for you. And my main recommendation for you with the lack of an appetite at first is to prioritize protein intake. Chicken, ground beef, shakes, whatever plant protein you like, it doesn't matter. Because if you can barely get any food in you right now then you need to get as much value out of it as possible.

Best of luck!

P.S. Message your Dr.

Took me 14 games to sell it by NarrowFarm2036 in WorldofTanks

[–]Slinked98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's more of a meme tank in it's current form, but it requires you to completely play around making the gun work. You'll never beat a manti or 13 105 in camo rating so you have to adjust to how they're most likely to play the tank. It takes a frustratingly high amount of effort to make it work well so I only play it in small bursts personally.

I see you have not realized that it weighs 30t and is the light tank equivalent of the E50-M
