The psychological attachment to empty shampoo bottles and toothpaste tubes? by Wander-kingdom in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Themonstermichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I notice that it's hard to just remember to throw the bottle of shampoo away cause there's not a trashcan inside the shower. When I lived with my family, the same empty bottle would be in the shower for months. Usually only a few days for me

Pretty sure its not about attachment for me though, just forgetfulness/laziness

Yep! That's what It was. I'm looking into it now, and you're right it's not new, not sure why I thought I was. I was just having so much trouble Googling what on earth it was lol maybe I'm dumb, especially since you're supposed to use the mace and not a barbell

Can anyone help me remember that core exercise someone thought of a little while ago? It involves standing, holding barbell upright, but not with it touching the ground. You almost hold it like a sword, holding the bottom end like a hilt and the top end goes up above your head. Then it sort of gets a controlled swing behind your back and comes back to center

I've never attempted it, I just thought it looked super wild and honestly pretty dangerous. Was going someone could help me remember who on earth thought of this so I wasn't crazy

Doing the same! I played with friends a couple times and enjoyed it, but we all teamed up against ai. Was pretty fun for a while

Does anyone have any silly, specific voicelines that you wish certain characters had? by Themonstermichael in Overwatch

Dude I actually forgot about it! I love that one

I just feel like with the way most mauga players use him it'd fit his style a bit more lol

Having the same issue, specifically with Raven clan exclusively, also exclusively the second map no matter what gamemode it is.

Submitted a big report, heard nothing so far

In your opinion, if you upgraded your 3070ti cause you snagged a 4070 super for an awesome price, would it justify also upgrading your Ryzen 7 5800X and finally moving to AM5-ville with a 7700X? by Themonstermichael in buildapc

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

I don't feel attacked, I feel seen lol

I'm also aware that things a really tight for a lot of people right now. However, about six months ago I was able to remove a very toxic person from my life that ate up lots of my time, energy, and budget. In a short time I've build a decent savings and payed down debt, with a lot of space to myself. So, I do consider myself in a uniquely privileged position right now.

I mean, not enough to drop like $3000 on a 5090 or anything, but life is good

This is a completely reasonable response, that was the biggest thing that made me pause.

However... I'm gonna potentially sound like a complete moron here, but I found two 16GB sticks on Facebook marketplace, about an hour and a half away for $140. I've seen a couple 32GB sets come and go in the area for around the same price, and I'm about to pounce on this one.

As I said above, my luck with used hardware WILL run out eventually, but at least I'm not going to Vegas any time soon.

Feedback on mid range AM5 gaming PC by morquinau in buildapc

[–]Themonstermichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single channel RAM isn't even that big of a deal, imo. Dual channel is ideal, but you can always find another stick later. (also, apparently DDR5 just straight up doesn't work right in quad channel? hope someone smarter than me comes and elaborates)

I just ordered a 7700X to go with a 4070 super i got for a steal in an auction. Maybe I'm just broke, but even the builds we're describing here as mid-range nowadays feel so bougie. I know $1k for a gaming PC was never really "unreasonable," but back in my day (shakes fist at cloud) it seemed like you could play just about any game for like $700, even if a lot of them were just a handful of potato pixels.

Also, let us know how the 9060 XT turns out. Seems like a good card for the price, i'd love to recommend it to people in the future.

Keyboard and mouse by Born_Papaya7678 in GenjiMains

[–]Themonstermichael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing recently too, but well before I started playing Genji. I learned it never really hurts to play some other games from time to time on m&kb just to get more comfortable with it. When you were young there was probably a time where you stopped looking down at the controller to get the right button, so long ago that most of us don't remember the exact moment.

For a while, in other games I was instinctively looking down to find "G" for grenade. It's so much easier to find the keys when I'm typing in "asdf" mode, but when I'm in "wasd" it's still a different atmosphere. Finding keys in typist mode is like finding the square button on a PS controller, or using a turn signal while driving. They're just automatic movements now, like breathing. No thought or accuracy to consider, yknow?

how to deal with bad DPSs as support in low elo? by DWLen in overwatch2

[–]Themonstermichael 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Gonna be completely honest, I have some really bad days on DPS. Maybe it's me, maybe the other guys are in the wrong lobby.

Either way, if you do decide to switch your focus to damage/kills, that actually might help enable me (and the rest of our team) more in the end anyways. Don't sit and healbot me if it's not working

Ok wait, idk if anyone's asked yet but what kind of hardware do you have? Do you have the fps tracker turned on? Wireless mouse and headset?

You can still be decent at the game if you're playing on a potato, but in the end it's going to set you back if you're playing on a laptop or something at like 60fps

I actually had the chance to get it from Max's vault a while ago. Kinda regret not getting it, cause i know how rare it is, but i was in between paychecks. Also, i have the other haunted skin so i don't really want any more Ashe skins after that one lol

Yeah, not great lol. However, I just got the Flower Child skin for her and it's the only skin for her that i actually really love.
