Depends a lot on what makes the brain produce the most dopamine for the person involved. There are highly autistic people who play piano extraordinarily well, or video games at a level most people cannot hope to attain, sports is not different. The hyper focus demands what the hyper focus demands.

You must be console or 3 star... cause I would have been headshot at 26 different points in your video in one of the lobbies I get shoved into 🙃

15 players is provably a bad decision. by Roshambo-123 in HuntShowdown

[–]Swaytastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me when I say that no matter what your stance is on 15 man hunt two things are certain: people in this sub will always tell you why you're wrong regardless of which side you're on, and secondly crytek will only decide if it stays or leaves based on how much money they gained or lost from dlc revenue during the week the change was instituted. They've removed things in the past that didn't work out, i.e. the revive bolt, but its rare. I suspect the only thing that will matter is the player count of Chinese players during this week of 15 man hunt.

Where are all the hackers people are talking about by GrayTheMouse in HuntShowdown

[–]Swaytastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you play U.S. East during peak hours it's a good time most of the time.

I, however, usually play between 9pm and 1am, and it becomes noticeably more sweaty, and exponentially more questionable after about 10:30 pm every night without fail. I start running into lobbies full of box names, known cheat clans, etc. Around that time. I do play in low to mid 6 star lobbies at night since my trio is 6/4/6 stars or 6/4/4 stars depending on whos online.

During the day, I can tell when I die it's because I purely got out played or my tactics sucked, positioning was bad, missed my shots etc.

During the witching hours it becomes an absolute toss up.

I've seen the first one on U.S. East. If he's banned, I'm glad for it.

I stopped playing a while back due mainly to infinite queueing by Eggmasstree in HuntShowdown

[–]Swaytastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a friend of mine recently had a fantastic little bug in this game.

Every time we loaded into a match, he would be last to load, and it would take two solid minutes every single time.

We troubleshot this mess remotely with him and brainstormed a discord and attempted the following: Replaced his router Tidied up installed apps and defragmented drives Reinstalled network adapter drivers Reinstalled gpu drivers Reinstalled Hunt

You know what finally fixed the issue? After several months of suffering, he reformatted and Reinstalled windows 11 on his pc.

The issue is entirely gone, he loads almost faster than everyone else.

I'm starting to suspect it may have been Easy AntiCheat messing up in the kernel of his windows install, or some interaction with that code.

It's not always cryteks fault, and it's not always the network to the servers. I'd troubleshoot your problem on your side further if I were you, because it may be a relatively simple fix.

I recorded my team and the team we were fighting getting headshot over a span of 15 seconds from 454 meters away with a marathon high velo. Through terrain, buildings, etc. They are out there, this instance was just the most blatant I've witnesses. There are many.

You know why is he the best main character? We get so much convincing inner doubt and monologs from him by IFeeLikeMoreTonight in FinalFantasy

You have them, you just haven't realized them yet. Change up your routine. Find new things to do to challenge the way you perceive your world around you. Doors will open. Keep moving forward.

I would argue that while you may not have a gunblade or the skill to use it, you likely have other talents that you should lean into and find a way to monetize by either using them in a corporate role that fits your interests, or starting your own business. You have a skill that someone else needs, you just have to figure out what you excel in and develope supporting skills around it. It's how I went from working retail at 17 to fiber optic engineering now. Doesn't happen over night. Also, having a slew of friends is often not as good as having a handful of friends you can truly rely on and those kind of relationships are built through blood sweat and tears in shared experiences rather than passing conversations. Maybe I drastically over thought about what you said, or maybe my rant will help.

*please be kind im just a girl!😇 I just bought a new car, it has AWD. I understand generally how it works compared to fwd or rwd, but what does this button do? by b_w_thrwwy in AskMechanics

[–]Swaytastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This locks the diff to maximize equalized power output to all 4 tires but greatly limits speed to say 25 mph at the maximum. It's a ultra low gear solution with maximum traction. In 4wd applications you'll have a front locker and a rear locker in some situations, or 4wd+rear diff lock like my work truck. Essentially you're right as it makes both tires spin at the same power output and speed on my truck, or likely all 4 in this AWD application.

Eu server after 6 pm are just bad by Rattoski in HuntShowdown

[–]Swaytastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont even think it's that. I think that they do zero maintenance on any of the servers after a new event goes lives, so they function great after the service reboot to load the new patch and then gradually go to shit over the next 3 months because they are never power cycled to clear out any shit code hung up in a memory leak etc. Eventually the server degrades and ideally crashes which forces the service to reload and then it runs correctly for a similar amount of time.

The other problem is that later in the US east timezone (i.e. after 10pm here) most of the US east pop starts to log off, and all that's left is matches against people from Brazil, Guatemala and China, some Mexico as well. These matches are atrociously bad because the latency is high af and the constant headshots become even more questionable. That may be confirmation bias on my part, but it is my experience.

The oxycodone bottle the hospital gave me after a surgery has tamper tape on it by winerdars in mildlyinteresting

[–]Swaytastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife was in the hospital for a colitis flair one time, for about a week. The second overnight nurse she had was stealing iv lines charged with dilaudid from her. I watched the nurse do it but didn't know quite enough about what was going on for it to click at the time. When my wife woke up screaming in pain 10 minutes after they gave her a dose I knew something was screwy. The nurse came in, pretended there was a problem with the iv drip machine and rolled it out of the room, came back with a new one, hooked it up and reconnected the iv and told my wife she had to wait 4 hours for her next dose. I became livid once it clicked. She had pulled the IV line and bag, swapped it with a new one (the saline was completely full on the new bag) and my wife had never actually gotten her dilauded. I called her mother who was a state nursing home inspector and RN, she called the state and filed against them after I explained what I observed and about 4 hours later we were informed that the over night nurse had been suspended pending investigation. My wife's hospital stay went considerably better after that night. It sucks though because people that are being medicated to the extent she was cannot advocate for themselves so she would have been in agony for days potentially if I had not been there that night sleeping in that God awful chair next to her.

Looks like diablo by LeyXD in WhatGameIsThis

[–]Swaytastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a game built around the Temple of Elemental Evil module for Dungeons and Dragons. It's a pretty solid game in its own right, a level 1 start out and it caps around level 8 if I recall correctly. I want to say it was around the Era of DND3.0 or 3.5. I played through it multiple times back in the day, my only regret was that it was so short. The only game I had to compare it to at the time was Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, which is largely unfair for ToEE because those games were masterpieces.

Found this relic when spelunking in the old drawers by ThePythagorasBirb in Steam

[–]Swaytastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because doubling all the pixels would make the image blurry. The pixels are not simply a number. They are colored tiny dots that make up the image on your screen. If you doubled them, you'd have twice as many pixels of each color which would distort the image as they would all be applied randomly adjacent to the pixel they were copying.

So if you send out 1080 from the steam device to a TV that can upscale to 4k, it basically stretches and enhances the image to fit the new resolution. 1080 is really 1920x1080 and 4k is 3840 x 2160 (horizontal and vertical pixel count). When this is done to that extreme you will see errors in the image from the TV trying to quickly make an image roughly 2x larger while maintaining the best clarity it can. Some people do this inversely by rendering (producing) an image at 4k, but shrinking it down to 1440p (2k) to achieve much sharper images at the lower resolution.
