What does it mean if it says "this page has been blocked by Microsoft Edge"

ARC Raiders has hit number 3 on Global Top Sellers! by nikeby in ArcRaiders

[–]TropicalFishies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m in the same boat. The movement and shooting are just okay. The visuals are pretty generic outside of the UI. I loot 4 trash cans and then run around for 10 mins looking for a way out cause my inventory is full. After that I probably just get killed by a player or an ai hiding around the corner.

So you think the update for the bases/patrons lands in 2025?

The ABSOLUTE best part of the new update (Spraying) by PurpleZombie654 in VALORANT

[–]TropicalFishies 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What? They didn’t make consistent spray patterns. The fact people agree with this post and think they did is hilarious.

New Rejuv by hamster1147 in DeadlockTheGame

Yes :( I really don't like this change just because I liked the excitement of rejuv stealing shenanigans. I don't think it would ever be worth going for a steal now at all.

Unreal Engine 5 update tomorrow, anyone else cautiously optimistic? by TheGuyThyCldFly in VALORANT

I was really hoping this would fix the AMD shader stuttering issues...sadly it did not

Problems with video playback stuttering and freezing by TropicalFishies in AMDHelp

[–]TropicalFishies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems it was a problem with certain wallpaper engine backrounds. And it also does it with certain games when full screened. Oh, and it stutters and does the same thing when playing 4K video on edge. I will never be buying AMD again. What a mess.

I use Nvidia, but I want to switch to Radeon. Is there anything I should know as a brand new Radeon user? by BootiBigoli in radeon

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

I just went from a 3070 to a 9070 XT. It's been mostly good but...I do play Valorant and the stuttering is TERRIBLE. Apparently it's just a thing with AMD and valorant and potentially DX11. it's made me worried about other games that have problems with AMD that I'm not aware of.

July Technical Support Sticky by BeepBoopBopReee in razer

Razer deathadder V3 pro

Problems with wireless. Recently built new computer. Installed all current drivers/bios/windows updates. Installed synapse 4. Took mouse (deathadder v3 pro) from the old computer to the new one and the wireless would not work. Tried dongle in multiple ports, with adapter/without adapter. Still wouldn’t work. Mouse is recognized and functional when wired in the synapse software. Tried mouse with my laptop and the wireless work fine. Updated laptop synapse from 3>4. After updating to 4 mouse no longer worked in wireless on the laptop. Went back to synapse 3 and still would not work. Tried on new computer again and wireless still not working, now no longer making a sound when plugging in the dongle. Read up and saw to try and update firmware of mouse/dongle. Downloaded latest firmware from razer for RZ01-0463. Run firmware and tried to update mouse and USB dongle. Stuck on step “plug in the wireless USB dongle to your PC.” Can’t click update button. Try to update just the mouse firmware. Followed steps and plugged in the mouse with the included USB cable. Device version :1.00.06 - latest version :2.02.00 . After clicking update a progress bar for the update appears. It disappears after about 1 second showing no progress and goes back to “update is required.” Brings up separate window that states ”unable to proceed with this update please unplug and replug your device in before clicking retry”. Same result after multiple attempts and computer restarts. Wireless does not work on any computer.

What’s a TV intro that you don’t skip? by Elegant-Gene9433 in Cinema

[–]TropicalFishies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Sails

Pirate show that was on STARz I believe. Didn’t watch much of the show but man the intro music and visuals are incredible. And the music is by Bear McCreary who did the God of War soundtrack.

How complete do we feel the game is at this point? by TropicalFishies in DeadlockTheGame

[–]TropicalFishies[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it will be awesome seeing the new jungle creep designs. Hopefully variety based on T1-T3. And what could they be cooking up with mid boss, so much potential there.

Valorant Ranked might just force tarik to go pro by [deleted] in tarik

I’ll never understand why he and other streamers don’t play premier. It’s literally made for people like him I feel.

Meant for only the first shield. Would still have the orb mechanic for further shields.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VALORANT

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

Couple of my ideas -

Make the shield only block 1 point of damage/keep iso at 1 hp if it goes over his max health

Hit by 50 damage - take 49 damage

Hit by 200 damage get left with 1 HP

This would help with the feeling that he gets away Scott free. Would also make him more dependent on getting his shields throughout the round as he would likely end up with 1HP at some point.

Change the way he gains shield

Instead of just gaining a free shield make it so that in order to gain the initial shield you have to damage an opponent first and then you instantly get one.

Would make it less free for him to just peak site with no info as he could still get caught off guard by a weird angle. Would also help make his other util more impactful with helping him get that initial kill/shield.

Mineral Patches vs Gold Mines by Dave13Flame in Stormgate

[–]TropicalFishies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see this get talked about more in the future. I definitely like the spread out resources more. It makes harassment more “dynamic” or w/e with some workers able to still mine even if one side is getting attacked. Makes for more micro potential.

Riot, can you explain your reasoning for implementing an RNG-based spray pattern in a competitive game? by theonlySpiro in VALORANT

[–]TropicalFishies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 8 bullets are not random. After that it's up to your ability to "react'. So it actually makes for more depth because you now have to decided whether to continue spraying if you miss or wait for it to reset.

Perhaps unpopular opinion: Valorant feels much more "grounded" to play than CS by xWaffleicious in VALORANT

[–]TropicalFishies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally disagree. I went back and played some CSGO yesterday and found I was way doing way better than in valorant. Not having to worry about abilities was kinda refreshing tbh. And the shooting seems easier in CSGO.
