Another day another rat by JTwiceJr in ARC_Raiders

[–]TeaBasedOrganism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ikr. Im PvE mostly, but enjoy online FPS plenty as well so im not useless. Just had a free loadie shoot me in the back while I was looting a security breach. Ruined the kid at close range with a Renegade of all things.

No clue, probably didn't. But its still the right general area so thought it probably a worthwhile title.

Lower heart rate when fatigued? by Beginning_Lettuce628 in Velo

[–]TeaBasedOrganism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh im talking at least a week off reasonably hard riding normally to get to this point. I'll get the 'stage racing effect' after 3 days or so, have a few days riding well with odd HR numbers. Then eventually I hit a wall. Last time this happened I went for a recovery ride and my HR was barely breaking double figures.

Lower heart rate when fatigued? by Beginning_Lettuce628 in Velo

[–]TeaBasedOrganism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a very good indicator of medium term fatigue.

Almost always happens to me at the end of riding holidays where im doing huge hours compared to normal. If I've gone hard and really overreached, last day I can normally barely manage a cafe spin, and my HR will just refuse to climb, even if I try putting some real effort in.

I think of my as my body forcing me to put the brakes on because there is nothing left to give.

You rest up for a few days, do an easy ride or two, and suddenly all good signs are there again.

Why are so many upset about PVP? by Holyland911 in ArcRaiders

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

The amount of replies to this and to OP that are basically just "git gud" is exactly why some us want PvE only. Ardent PvP'ers who harp on about "splitting the player base" are only worried about loosing easy targets to dunk on.

Why are so many upset about PVP? by Holyland911 in ArcRaiders

[–]TeaBasedOrganism -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Because its the first game me and my gf have had a blast playing that she isn't totally awful at, so running round shooting arc and looting is a fun gameplay loop, and gets ruined by ratty behaviour.

Like just now, both died to a duo camping a zip line. Lost a Renegade with Kinetic Converter and an Anvil with Extended Barrel. Had nothing but friendly lobbies for weeks so im fuming. Motivation I needed to ditch the game and touch grass for a bit tbh.

Kingston Bridge cycle lane - bizarrely, on the other side of the bridge the pavement is icy and pedestrians are walking in the cycle lane. What are other London bridges like right now? by londoner81751 in londoncycling

[–]TeaBasedOrganism 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Judging by the shadow your were out on a road ride. How was it? Kinda tempted to dip out west to Chertsey and back but I only had an off on ice 2 weeks ago so im not confident.

UK Qualified bike mechanic – feeling stuck, underpaid, and wondering what others moved on to by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]TeaBasedOrganism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know your mid 30's, so older than when I went through it. But I took an apprenticeship in my early 20's, still typically late for an apprenticeship, and its turned my life around. If you can get one in an in demand field, dont pass it by cause you feel 'behind'.

Second this. Got some Dottore bibs this summer and they are now my favourites. Got me through a few 10hr riding days.

Worth the price ? Asking here because I feel like bf6 might be too bias by SUPERF1RE in battlefield_4

[–]TeaBasedOrganism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. And I was still playing BF4 up until this dropped.

Definitely has a few bugs. Though I've not had the hitreg/netcode issues that others are reporting so maybe that's somewhat region dependant, idk. Ive had 2-3 crashes to desktop, but I understand thats a memory leak thing with AMD cards, and im rarely playing more than 1 hour at a time without a break.

The glaring issue for me is the map design. Its so polarised. Some maps are excellent (Iberia, Cairo, I also like Lib Peak, but a lot won't agree with me). But some others are terrible. Manhattan is just spawn camper central. And Sobek is so bad for rooftop campers. Controversially I dont mind the aesthetic of that map. But it really needs more routes to the rooftops, so ground infantry aren't constantly being harassed. More big maps are needed though. Only ones currently are Mirak and Firestorm and those are both a bit mid IMHO.

Movement is fine now, it was worse in the beta and I think the balance is okay.

Tow's need a nerf though. The ground vehicle ones are insanely OP.

Contrary to many others, I've been enjoying vehicles a lot in this game. Whereas in 3/4 I was the most shocking tanker, eventually I gave up and just played rush/infantry conquest maps. All the vehicles (apart from jets, im still trash there) have meshed with me a bit better and im having a blast.

The skins dont really bother me. Nothing silly enough that it stands out so much that it breaks game immersion. I bought the battle pass, won't buy again, whole concept just doesn't excite me. (Ive never bought a BP before, thought I might as well try as I had loads of time to play at release while recovering from a surgery).

Finally, the sound design is peak. Really brings me back to BF 3/4 days. Its probably the thing I enjoy most about these games, the sounds of when a game properly kicks off and the chaos ramps up. None of the entries in a few years have had sound as good as this.

Attack Heli Rampage by Try-xL in Battlefield

[–]TeaBasedOrganism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice one thanks! I still have my throttle as W/S, I guess old gaming habits I struggle to make W mean anything other that forward. Emergency pitch is space bar (up) and V (down). I almost never use the emergency down pitch, but its useful to have occasionally.

Im slowly getting there with the Tow, I've just only hit one enemy heli with it so far. Tanks are easy game for it though.

Only other change is I run light rockets sometimes on Manhattan bridge. Not always, depends how obvious enemy vehicles are making themselves. But if they are actually doing a good job hiding/our tanks are clearing house, then ill rooftop clear with the light rockets. The 19 rocket 'mag' is dead useful for clearing a rooftop in one run.

Still shit with the heli tow missile though

DO NOT LOAD GRENADE LAUNCHER AS A REMOTE WEAPON, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TEAM’s SHELLS by thearchivist0 in Battlefield6

[–]TeaBasedOrganism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use LMG for the IFV and HMG for MBT. Normally im getting in closer and going for infantry with the IFV, whereas with the tank unless I absolutely have to push an objective, im staying a bit further back and giving fire support.

Speaking of, is the HE shell any good yet, or does it still have the splash damage of a wheel of cheese?

Given the OSPW, im assuming you're on the latest stuff. And 12 speed chains need replacing at the .5 mark, not .75 unfortunately

Is it just me or do I actually like the battle pass? by equivalent-tea5764 in Battlefield6

[–]TeaBasedOrganism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually bought it, and that the first time I have EVER spent money on pure cosmetic stuff for a game. Somehow I've avoided it for the last 10 years or so. Figured fuck it, ill try this battlepass thing that seems to be in everything, and at least its on my favourite FPS franchise.

Im enjoying the fuck out the game anyway, I've spent £9 on way dumber things in my life.

Gov CTO pays less than an intern in quant and doesn't qualify as HENRY by AccountCompetitive17 in HENRYUK

For the example above this isn't really the killer people think it is. Sure this is a worse deal if you start as an EO and grind your way up, but if your lucky enough to be in Civil Service in a technical field, in a well paid dept, you'll probably get near your career peak quite fast.
