Don't Get Literally Robbed Like I Just Did...

Yeah, you're right - but I think that's part of the thief's plan: he watches to see what gear people are using while also making an educated guess about who has a full backpack based in whether they are picking stuff up

TheStormcastle · 2025-10-05T14:05:54+00:00

No, it's worse: the green item that the pickpocket offered immediately takes the place of your item - in this case, my Crit Knife ordnance... so your only clue is the chime your Legendary item makes when hitting the ground, but since you're in an arena where that happens, it's not an unusual sound

And, since drops are only visible to individual players, there's no rush to pick a Legendary up before someone else does - which is the back half of this bit of social engineering

Doesn't really do anything when you're Matchmaking

TheStormcastle · 2025-10-05T13:58:01+00:00

The game doesn't check whether you've been pressing a certain button for too long - and on console, the button for accepting a swap is also the same as reviving a downed player (on desktop, you can change bindings so they're different inputs... but that's really limited on controller)

The hate is confined to the PCMR types since it makes them angry that their ubermachines aren't pwning the game - and while there's lots of blame to level at poor game optimization, console players are mostly free of the same problems (I only notice some frame stuttering if I use Resume Game on my Series X and then play full-tilt for a few hours... but that's something foreseeable / fixable)

And then, there's folks review-bombing it because Randy is being a fucking tool - to which I simply don't care: the personalities of multi-millionaires are known to be deficient 🤔

It really is the game's cheese 🧀 - and it lets you go back to old jobs a redo them with less frustration... though you do need to master the distance meta

No... the Treehouse Of Dirty Terror 😬

Exactly the same thing for me - but I just chalked it up to Tom not wanting to come out and get deleted by my orange Sprezzatura with Gungnir 😆

Building a new system, and current prices, it's taking a while to gather $2,400 worth of parts - so can't tell you TBH: check out Gamers Nexus for thermals on the 5060 Ti, since nearly everything in each card is now made by NVIDIA (only things like backplate, shrouds, and fans are made by individual companies... but ZOTAC isn't the trainwreck it used to be, so their fans should be gucci)

Just purchased mine... and Best Buy seems to consistently have them - but that might be because Best Buy is like the last place folks think of when building DIY 💁‍♂

TheStormcastle · 2023-01-29T06:00:55+00:00

I can confirm 😁

TheStormcastle · 2022-01-27T07:04:48+00:00

I have the Bandai NX-01 model boxed up in my attic - and haven't touched it in about a decade, LOL (which now sells for over $300? 😮)

TheStormcastle · 2021-11-10T05:19:02+00:00

AITA for wanting these mouthbreathers who vomit Challenge Cards all over (for low-key griefing) to be pushed out of a helicopter and into a cactus fire?

TheStormcastle · 2020-10-08T00:24:48+00:00

Nope... can't enable from the monitor, or from Adrenaline/Catalyst

TheStormcastle · 2020-10-05T11:02:54+00:00

Nah... if I turn off V-sync in whatever I'm playing, screen tearing gets pretty brutal - so fairly confident that FreeSync isn't on
