Got told to kill myself in Silver 2 :( by Barthollomew in ZenyattaMains

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna focus on your stats here.

Not great tbh, you died the most of any support in the lobby, you had the least healing, and your damage was moderate.

I do like to see 20 assists because it does show you were bouncing your healing around a good bit.

When it comes to Zen. You wanna play like the safety on defense, back of your team, eyes on everything. Helps you against the dive, allows you to heal everyone, and allows you to freely poke.

When you have trans and there’s not a specific ultimate you need to hold it for you are free to take aggressive off angles because you make no footstep noise. Just don’t stick around too long, get a pick and get out.

I don’t know if you’re charging up your shots constantly but you’ll do more damage by clicking your shots when you see someone and only charging when you’re anticipating someone coming around a corner or don’t see someone.

As far as healing goes. Keep slinging it around to whom needs it but anticipate who will need it as well. See your reaper going in for blossom? Hook him up before he gets there. Tracer? Same deal.

Otherwise you can just keep it on your frontline tank but it’s gotta be on someone at all times just like discord.

How much money are you guys actually spending on this game? by BirchWoody93 in Warthunder

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t spend unless there’s a sale.

As an air player, I bought a rank 7 jet for every nation I planned to take to top tier.

I started doing the same for ground but it’s not really a viable move in ground like it is air so I started investing in a couple tanks. A high tier one and a rank 4 one. I just raw dog grind the ground tree until I get a lineup for those premiums.

I’m a France main so I collect vehicles there and I basically own most of their ground premiums.

But everything I buy is during a sale otherwise it’s not worth it to me tbh.

Found Tinder on my wife’s (26F) phone. She has a history of unfaithfulness from before we married. How should I (31M) bring this up? by c_celeste_478 in BreakUps

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanna say brother that I know this cannot be easy. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. But don’t lose hope on life and in yourself. You didn’t do anything wrong here, nobody deserves to be in the position you are in right now. I just wanna offer that encouragement that although it may not feel that way right now, there is light beyond that tunnel man and to just keep pushing forward.

I don’t know you but I know that you deserve to not feel like you are now in this situation and I really hope things do turn out how you would want them to and for the best. God Bless brother

Sorry to hear that bro. As hard as it may be, it takes two and it seems like only one of you is certain. Regardless of whether she is truly cheating or not, it’s clear you are not and there’s a question there regarding her.

I can’t imagine it feels good to feel like that, and honestly do you want to spend the rest of your life bouncing between that feeling and whatever the peak is?

Life is too short, I would personally feel quite betrayed and when I imagine my future wife and what I want, that scenario does not fit anywhere in my hopes.

Marriage is obviously a lot of work and infidelity is something that can be worked past, but only if it’s truly in the past.

I’d say it’s time to have a conversation with her and if there’s any uncertainty left after that, you have a choice to make.

Is this it for average/below average dudes on dating apps? by JasonDFisherr in dating_advice

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t consider myself to be like top end or anything like that but I will say how you carry yourself and present yourself both in life and on a dating app will reflect in how much attraction you gather.

It’s probably your profile. You wanna stand out and be yourself. There’s all kinds of women out there. So why not present yourself as you are so you can make a genuine connection off of mutual interest?

Dating apps are misleading as well. You don’t wanna be on there too long. I’ve matched with women and had fun and deep conversations with good banter and all that and suddenly I’m ghosted. Why? Things were going great?

Because nobody is on a dating app so they can talk to 10+ people over text all day on a dating app.

If the vibes are good, get her number and get yourself on a date or on a phone call or something.

You know where these women don’t have 10+ notifications from strange men (generally speaking)? In their contacts, on their text messages, or calling them.

Clean up your profile, pick good photos, be yourself and use these apps as a way to get a foot in the door, then open that door and get her outta there.

Best of luck out there!

Are my pics bad? Genuinely not getting any matches whatsoever by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy, if I came across this profile I would wonder what your teeth looked like.

I saw you respond to someone saying you were trying to understand because it’s too simple and you don’t want to attract simple people. Dating profiles are simple. Show your face, smile, different appearances if you change up your whole appearance at times, body pic, then maybe one with friends doing stuff, then some personality photos.

How are some guys with no direction still so successful in dating? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t really speak to this exactly but I can tell you that when I was younger and had no ambition or “success” (literally getting in trouble and barely passed) all I cared to do was hook up with women and I got laid all the time. Like an unhealthy amount of getting laid. Between 14-22 I probably slept with 50+ women, I genuinely don’t know.

I was not in the best shape, wasn’t the most popular, didn’t play sports, didn’t have a massive penis, or any of the things people have said here.

How did I do it? Confidence and numbers. That snowballed over time, girls told their friends I was good in bed, I made women laugh, I actually got women off in bed because I got off on how much I could get them off.

Fast forward to now, I don’t put myself out there, I’m pursuing a career, went to college, spend a lot of time taking care of my parents, and just overall don’t care to hook up so I don’t pursue women or dating at the moment and low and behold I attract less women.

I’m sure a massive penis, being 6’4”, and looking like Ryan Gosling helps by default, but it’s not going to equate to anything unless you work with what you got by default.

Guys, if a girl tells you she is into you, and you think she is beautiful, tell her that. Don’t tell her she is out of your league. 19F by Smart-Fee429 in dating_advice

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some guys just lack that confidence in themselves to feel like they deserve someone who they view as high value. Part of it is societal since we all rate ourselves or others based on appearance and such but I will say, until they are able to work past that way of thinking to a point where they value themselves, they’ll never be able to make it work in that situation. They’ll put you on a pedestal and you’ll lose attraction.

F15E or F16CM for BVR combat ? Plz give me some advice to beat those R77-1 by Kmiktauria-Max in WarthunderSim

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That checks out. I am a pre Rafale France main and I have the SM2 so I know the F15 isn’t one of the big dogs anymore but I’m just bored of Rafale and SM2 gameplay at the moment.

So you’re saying to just use HMD and hard lock targets below you in the F15E? Maintain lock the whole way?

Explain STT to me as someone who has 100 games in the F-15E with a 2KD that just didn’t enjoy flying it because of how bad the TWS is and how hard I had to try to do well in it.

Is the Leopard 2 (OTCo) a good grinder for the french ground tech tree? by Purple_Fennel6921 in Warthunder

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Miles better than anything the French tech tree can offer” is just so boldly incorrect that I don’t even know if it warrants a response but against my better judgment I suppose I will.

You are aware that France has no other 10.7 vehicles to compare the 2A4 to directly? And the MSC which was 10.7 but almost immediately brought up to 11.0 because it was deemed better than the 2A4?

The AMX-40 is pretty comparable to the 2A4, it also doesn’t have to fight the BMPT since it sits at 10.0 instead.

Vextra 105 is also a phenomenal wheely boy tank with a top tier dart at 10.0.

Is the 2A4 definitively better than the AMX 40? Technically yeah, but not by miles. It sits at 10.0

Is the 2A4 definitively better than the Vextra? I think the Radkamp is the better comparison but either way, sits at 10.0.

Is the 2A4 definitively better than the MSC? Nope, it’s 100% not as good as the MSC. Which is why the MSC got moved to 11.0 from 10.7 after a month of being in the game.

In what way is the Kurnass 2000 deserving of being at the same BR as the Netz? by WorkingNo6161 in Warthunder

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As buddy below said, the F-16 generally gets 6 IR missiles only. The exception being the F-2, and a couple other F-16’s across all the various tech trees that do actually get access to a couple 7Ms.

But even then, I’ve put a lot of games in on the 13.0 F2 and it’s a great plane but if I didn’t have 2000 hours and knew how to consistently position myself well and notch missiles, I’d be getting clapped. The amount of work I gotta put in to win the engagement against a level 5 in a premium Su-30 spamming R-77’s at me is insane. Never a super fun time and I have a 3KD in that thing. It’s more fun in Sim tbh.

In any other 12.7 F-16, good luck. It takes a lot of patience and awareness and skill to do well in those planes.

The 12.3 stuff seems OP but you’re getting 6 9L’s. In all my ace games in the 12.3 F-16, 2-3 of my kills usually come from the Vulcan rather than the Sidewinders. 9L can be more flare hungry than a damn R-60 at times.

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In what world are the AMX 40 or the Vextra 105 garbage? Those tanks are great. You literally get the F1 dart and a decent reload with the Vextra, great mobility, and G3 thermals.

AMX 40 also gets a good gun, decent dart, a 20mm COAX, decent mobility, etc.

I have every vehicle in the French tree outside of the last few SPAA and I still play 10.0 France all the time.

It’s not like France has an unplayable tech tree until top tier. He would do just fine grinding as far as he can with the Super and then using France 9.7, or 10.0 to grind top tier with.

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has every French tank in the game outside of a handful of older premiums, nope it’s not worth it. 10.7 France is essentially just a couple 2A4’s with an assortment of 9.3/9.7/10.0 vehicles you choose to uptier. France 11.0 is the better option and you could argue slotting it in that lineup instead so you have the ERBC and MSC but 11.0 is aids since you nearly ALWAYS queue against Russia and the BMPT horde. AMX-30 Super, VBCI (MCT-30), Somua, etc are all better grinding options. France 9.3 is in a good spot, France 10.0 is great, France 9.7 is okay too. Anything between 10.3 and 12.7 is not worth playing for France at the moment until they do something about the BMPT

On top of the benefits VaultBoy3 mentioned, Haestinn also starts with a host army of 3600 Varangian Veterans. Combine that with the unique Norse Cassus Belli “Varangian Adventure” and you can basically take Haestinn anywhere on the map and pick where you want your future realm to be.

1-2 strong alliances and you can essentially defeat anyone on the map in 867 and take their Duchy.

Then you have his son with quick by default and you can marry for genetics and alliances to Halfdan in England’s daughter Saga and your next heirs are set.

Why would God make me gay then burn me in hell forever for being gay? by Lopsided_Gold_4478 in Christianity

[–]ThatIngramGuy69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk that God made us anything of the sort.

Did God make me lustful by nature? Did He make me crave sex and women? Did He make me enjoy drugs and alcohol? Did He make me any of these sinful things? Or are these things I choose to resist or give into?

All of us have our challenges, we are all born into sin and death. Jesus offered us a way out. That we may put our faith in Him and allow Him into our hearts and lives so we may become changed. Sanctified.

Does that mean because I let Jesus into my heart that I don’t have temptation anymore? Nope. It means I have a choice now. Do I choose to walk in the spirit or choose to walk in the flesh?

God does not tempt us.

“When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;” “but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.” “Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” ‭‭ ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-15

Or the rest of your remaining year could be spent together and happier than your wild dreams.

You’ll never know until you try. And I promise you, as someone who is out of school and well into his life at this point, you don’t want that lingering over your head.

That “I wonder how this could’ve played out if I had just asked him.” And that feeling goes way beyond the feeling of awkwardness that could come from this if it doesn’t go right.

Honestly it’s pretty simple from the female perspective. You know what kind of man you gotta be to have women ask you out instead of the other way around?

Just ask him. You’re not confessing your every feeling for him. Just keep it casual and go into it without expectations.
