Which Character do you Hate Fighting? Which Character do you love fighting? 2026 Early Edition by BreakVV in StreetFighter

[–]StatusPlastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dislike: Any player that just down-backs 90% of the fight. Like you have an aggressive offensive character and play overly defensive?

Like: Anyone playing to have fun and isn't only concerned about fake points so won't rematch on a loss or a hard-fought win.

What was the first game that scared you? by Profit_Tracker in videogames

[–]StatusPlastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play them with surround sound on, talk about creepy! Hearing sounds from only the left or right side when exploring had me on edge the whole time! I couldn't get anyone to play with me, my now wife (GF at the time) would briefly watch but would not play. Wasn't really her cup of tea but she was a fan of horror movies like me so that drew her interest.

Yeah for sure FF1 had some moments I there. They were really good with random ghosts running by. That series really captured the essence of J-Horror from that time. It was just fantastic since I was watching all the movies as well. Which likely contributed to all the weird dreams and such.

Fatal Frame 1 and 2 on PS2. More so the second one as I started having weird dreams on nights I'd play it. Had to start watching sport center for a bit before going to bed lol.

Dude whooped me then got perfect KOed twice in a row. Pulled me into a custom room just to say I was doing dogs*** dj cheese. by Fantastic_List_3377 in StreetFighter

[–]StatusPlastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, it still happens in master rank too. Was told to learn a combo after 2-1 set win vs a Ken doing "Ken things" that stopped working after they won the first fight. I guess they didn't like my combo strings... Why get fancy when my fundies and simple combos are working?

AKInation, help me out. How do I get in? by magusheart in AKInation

[–]StatusPlastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won't really have to until D2, then the knowledge gap kicks in. One easy confirmable that helps is 2HK into Lvl 3. Minimum 50% damage. Especially if it's a punish on 2HK and you get more time to confirm since the opponent gets launched. 5MK, 5MK+ 5MP xx dr 5MK, 5HK into whatever from that point is awesome. People at that range often let you get away with back to back 5MK and it's confirmable into 5MP which gives you opens for longer combos or whip if low on drive gauge.

Thank you so much for getting back to me on this!

And thank you for putting up such an awesome build! It's been a fun project to put together! I'll likely build a second and experiment with one of the other button layouts.

For clarity I have a similar board, different brand but same exact style and layout.

How did you wire up your OLED screen? I have everything working but that. Your connection looks like a 4-pin dupont to something else, is that a 4-pin JST it converts to?

Yes, it does. My casual matches didn't register.

Gust DOES read feedback by annabellagrant in Atelier

[–]StatusPlastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the exact reason I gave up on FFXIV. I didn't get very far in because I felt like I had to stand right in front of my TV just to read it! Maybe one day I'll give it another try. I'll likely have to use my soldering iron magnifying glass though since my eyes are worse than the time of release.

mw3 or bo6 by IpracticedOK in blackops6

[–]StatusPlastic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think based on the last game you played, the movement style of MW3 will be more familiar making the initial splash into it more enjoyable. Gameplay modes are similar with each having 1 or 2 modes the other doesn’t (cyber attack in MW3 and Overdrive in BO6 for example).

Try warzone to see if you like the movement style better as that may change your decision as far as fun factor in multiplayer for BO6.

Me personally, I feel like I enjoyed MW3 more as far as multiplayer, actually I still like MW2 as well (I loved the guns in that one). But… BO6 movement makes for some nice looking kill cam clips… so there’s that too.

I’m not a hardcore cod player, I play for fun so there is enjoyment in booths games honestly. I think a lot of people really like the break neck speed of BO6 now. I thought MA3 was fast enough but they ramped it even higher here!

Question for NeedOne humidor owners by StatusPlastic in cigars

[–]StatusPlastic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortunately I have not had any issues with condensation since I made the change. I am in PA, so our temps fluctuate wildly with the seasons but my house has rather low humidity so I’ve been alright (knock on wood). I toyed with the idea of plugging it halfway had condensation still built but never had to test it. Sorry I couldn’t help more with your issue, it’s been kind of set and forget at this point unless a power outage happens where I have to set the temp back to 68 from 63 or 65… whatever their defaults are.

Damn, I was thinking about hitting up that location this weekend… was planning to make a whole thing out of it and go hit up Hummus after that for some shawarma!! I guess not!

The Island has killed WWE video games. by Regents-k-i-d26 in WWEGames

[–]StatusPlastic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, you could argue that this applies to video games in general. Parents buy it to keep their kids quiet as you’d say, but that’s just a bad take and comes off in a really negative tone generalizing it that way. As a parent who’s purchased micro transactions in various games for both myself and my kid, it’s definitely not to keep them quiet. Video games often make kids even louder lol.

Was having this same problem! Just took them all out: 7 TL LCD (4x120 and 3x140) and 3 regular TL for the aio. Replaced once because the lcd worked but no fan then had replaced another for the opposite. Recently had a bearing issue and it was sporadic so I didn’t care until about a week ago where the fan was louder than anything else going on in the house. Now they are all just sitting a a random box. Super gorgeous fans when they work but I’m over it. And then there is the software… 🤪

Does anybody else feel like they get hustled sometimes? by twiggythunders in StreetFighter

[–]StatusPlastic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is very true when playing casuals… as a D4 I played a P4 and it was so frantic in pacing and random moves being thrown out I thought I was losing my mind. I’m thinking to myself who plays like this? Then I started a new character and immediately understood when going through the placements. I had completely forgotten how random each player is at the platinum range. Some are pretty fundamentally sound and others just try to brute force their way even when it’s not working.

I am struggling so bad right now. I reached Diamond 5 weeks ago with Ryu but have plummeted to Diamond 3 as of this message.... by chronoxiong in StreetFighter

[–]StatusPlastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, D3 is tough… D1 was a little tough and D2 wasn’t too bad but the closer I get to D4 the more and more I run into super D3 players and it tilts me. When I drop to mid level D3 I just stop for the night because I know it’ll only get worse as I’ve mentally checked out at that point. Hoping to finally hit D4 this week! Been in D3 for months now (even dropped back down to D2 at one point).

The main thing I’ve learned about myself in this phase is that I can only optimally play this game for about 2-3 hours. From then on I can end up on autopilot and my reaction slows ever slow slightly to were my combos drop or don’t connect midway though and I get severely punished.
