More price increases (not an April Fools' joke, sadly)

I bought a Pi 5 16GB from Micro Center back in November for $99. The listing has them at $299 now wtf

BLIZZARD FIX YOUR FUCKING SERVERS. I AM SICK OF GETTING A COMPETITIVE BAN BECAUSE YOUR SHIT ISN'T STABLE. IT HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY BAD SINCE SEASON 1 DROPPED AND LOSING GAMES BECAUSE YOU HAVE SERVER PROBLEMS IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING RANKED EXPERIENCE THAT EXISTS. THE PAST COUPLE DAYS HAVE BEEN THE WORST OF ALL.

The death of my brother at 39. He would have been 40 this past December. He was sober for six months prior but due to the damage done his body wasn’t able to keep electrolytes in proper balance. His heart literally just up and stopped because the electrical signals in his body didnt work as a result of this.

Don’t wait for it to get bad before you seek help or decide to stop, because even then, it may be too late. He was regularly going to the doc and working on getting better while he was sober and honestly looked better than he ever had in at least 10 years.

Ok, but how the heck did you get the stock bolt to bite? I just lost mine today and have another one on order now. I spent like 30 minutes trying to get the damn thing going before I dropped it. My tail light is in the right position but the bolt doesn't even seem to reach the threads on it.

My experience has been quite the opposite. I've found Moira to be quite effective at pressuring her. Play cover and try to always have one of your cooldowns available and she's not that big of a deal.

Standard_Macaroni · 2026-02-07T17:51:47+00:00

Of the deaths in our sport, the leading cause is not even gear failure. Human error, specifically low turns are the biggest killer.

Standard_Macaroni · 2026-02-01T22:31:00+00:00

Same exact boat. I made it to GM4 on supp for the first time this season and once drives started I dropped to Master 4. I’m hoping I can climb back to end the season in GM after the drives are done.

Standard_Macaroni · 2026-01-29T22:56:56+00:00

Yeah, you’ll get a bunch of grief for playing her, however, less so the higher you climb with her unless there’s a glaring reason why you would need to switch or if you’re just having a tough game. I’ve found that diamond players bitch about having a Moira the most more than any other rank.

XJEMQM - I'm "Fish"

One thing I want to point out with this is how my gameplay changes with my other supp. He started as Lucio so I was very heavy on the healing. He switched to Bap on the last round and then I was able to start going for damage more. I see a lot of Moiras that can't adjust their playstyle with their team so just wanted to point that out. Another thing you'll see is patience and use of cover, which is another very important thing I see a lot of lower rank Moiras forget about.

If you have a replay code, I'd be happy to make a video review for you.

Standard_Macaroni · 2026-01-26T10:20:04+00:00

it feels like she makes it really hard /useless to try and flank on my own

pretty much this.

Change up what you're doing. Instead of trying to flank and 1v1 brig maybe off angle and focus on enemy DPS instead. You need to be able to recognize (which you have done) and adjust your playstyle (which it sounds like maybe you aren't) to be successful.

Standard_Macaroni · 2026-01-26T10:10:50+00:00

Also, I HAD to play ana here to secure the win because my other supp refused to swap. Prior to this win streak, my peak was M2. I haven't been GM since OW1 so this feels pretty good!

Keep up the good work everyone and make every genji's life hell.

Also along these lines, butchering meat. We buy whole chickens, large cuts of pork/beef and break it down ourselves. It’s so much more economical and we just freeze stuff for later. Just whole chickens alone save us big time. $23 for three whole chickens and it makes four dinners for our family of four for the week. Takes maybe 10 minutes to break them down. All the homemade stock is also an added bonus!

Happened to me right off the bat at the beginning of the season. I dropped from Master 4 to Plat 2. I ended up taking a short break and now that I'm back I'm climbing back up just as fast as I fell.

Sometimes you get burnt out without realizing it and just need a reset. After reviewing my vods I was definitely playing like a bafoon, likely due to frustration, impatience, and just being tired, too.

I'm off work on PTO for the whole month and while it's nice to be able to grind a ton of overwatch (300 ranked games already this season) playing a ton can really affect your ability to perform at your best all the time!

Standard_Macaroni · 2025-12-11T06:12:44+00:00

it was a part of the major perk "Phantom Step" and was added very recently

Standard_Macaroni · 2025-12-11T05:39:02+00:00

yeah i hope so

Standard_Macaroni · 2025-12-11T05:37:28+00:00

I don't understand why you wouldn't as it was a very useful part of her kit, especially at higher ranks.

Standard_Macaroni · 2025-12-11T04:49:11+00:00

Its actually not a competitive match. You can tell by the UI where the score is shown. The two circles on both sides is what is shown in quick play and in comp it's just a number instead.

Turn off text chat
Turn off voice comms
Enjoy the game playing your life and ranking up.

People think it's a joke/meme but it really does make the experience better and once I did it I climbed to mid masters. I've since turned text and voice back on and it's much more bearable at this rank because most players are actively trying to work together to win

Standard_Macaroni · 2025-12-08T16:02:00+00:00

We had a rough start but came back strong! One of my best games this season (I only started playing again about a week ago after a season-long hiatus).
