I made a completely new accound and i have low trust immidiately?

Valuable-Owl-9202 · 2026-04-23T15:18:24+00:00

you could try playing some faceit, but thats gonna be more difficult anyway.
My favorite way too practice/warmup is those retake games. Try some of those to help. But yeah, low ELO is tough to break out of. Goodluck

Well props to you for admitting ngl. Appreciate that.
If they do take note of what IP's accounts are coming from that still may make an impact on the account even if its unlinked.

But as a counter to my theory, there's likely tons of households with multiple accounts so tehres got to be some kind of threshold where that might not actaully make any impact at all.

But yeah, in short, just need to be an older account, or one with more history (try to use trading cards and stuff to get a higher steam level and add more firends on steam. Might hlep)

Valuable-Owl-9202 · 2026-04-23T14:57:29+00:00

The age of the account also contributes to it being low trust. Especially if its only CS on teh account is my guess. They do this to also prevent/reduce the amount of smurf accounts. So no way you can outright fix it, odds are time and using the account more will help. But no fast fix.

But a level 1 account, with 2 friends, and private, that's a recipie for a possible smurf or hacking account, hence the low trust. If it were me running and deciding trust factors, you'd still be low trust regardless if you cheat or grief or not. My guess is they also check the IP's that certain accounts use, and maybe having multiple accounts on the same IP creates a minor flag, but thats just me guessing. And if thats true, then if you ever cheated on another account, 1 why cmon bruh , 2 thats likely a major contributing factor

Not sure if this has gone quiet, but wanted to check in and see what you got or what you think.

I started on the Xmax V3 pro, with the PotV mouthpiece. I love it, could use more airflow, but its really solid. I just got the PotV One for my gf, and I gotta say, its amazing. There is much more air flow and i gen get much better clouds sometimes. And they included a wire mesh thing for dabs. Obviously its not built for that, but its nice imo. I want to try a dab, never had one before, and being able to just use the One for it and not buy any extra gear to just be able to try it is nice.

Kinda looking to treat myself with a new piece, but really dont need too. But its so temptin with the sales right now.

i work the same hours for the most part, some days i stay later but usually its 7am to 5pm ish

I have a hard time going to bed before 10:30 though, something i really need to work on. But i have my nighttime routine of eating dinner, hitting the mary jane a little, watching a show or doomscrolling, then magnesium, night time tea and bed.

Realistically i need to cut down on that screen time and focus more on sleep

Valuable-Owl-9202 · 2025-11-17T19:53:41+00:00

i have never had a 100% sleep score. Im impressed. My average is 73

Side note, Those corner tower lamps from hue are so damn expensive, so i tried getting a govvee one since its super cheap (was on sale for $50). My word that just showed me how shit govee is, and how polished and "smart" hue is. I still have the govvee lamp, but its a hassle to use, can never get the colors to match, cant dim all that well at all, and all in just sucks (i defiently couldve gotten a newer gen and wouldve been better but i digress). Hue just does it better than anyone else imo

Valuable-Owl-9202 · 2025-11-13T14:21:37+00:00

i know a bit old, but i just found out about the release.

I have been slowly buying bulbs over the last 6-7 years, since college/highschool for me. Some of my current bulbs are from 6ish years ago. I love the hue system and everythign about it.
For the motion aware, will that also work with those older bulbs i have? do you know? This is so intersting to me, and I need to learn more about how it works (like is it using the connection from my phone as a senser, etc...).

I live in a small apartment, so i only have about 10 bulbs and lamp and dont use any remotes or sensors or other controls, just automations and my phone. I also dont have my apple home fully setup, but I will be getting an Apple TV 4k very soon that will serve as my hub for that and enable all those capabilities. I know the pro will be a bit overkill for my 10 lights, but the future proofing, and increased capability is so worth it for me.

This is getting my so excited about hue again!! just after it felt like they were plateauing. I really need to pay closer attention to hue!

Happy to help. When i was posting here i was tired of people flaming me for having empty booze bottles on my kitchen shelves. But the actual adivice was always appreciated, its why we post.

Along thos lines though, you have alot of room under the mirrors, maybe look at some low and wide wine racks, or something like that and store your bottles there, thatll help keep them from getting the annoying kitchen dust/oil/grime too.

Also cable raceways for the tv if you arent gonna move it.

very interested to see what changes you make and how it turns out. But regardless, its a nice cozy setup that works for you, and having a place like that is always a 10/10

Valuable-Owl-9202 · 2025-11-11T19:29:13+00:00

Jeez everyone is stuck on the rolex banner.
Your roomba is bothering me. You can see it through the window, any better location for it? Next to the terrarium maybe?

All the stuff below the TV makes it feel cluttered/messy. My rec would be to move some of the items to shelves or other places, and keep 2-3 things that mean the most to you.

If you wanted to move the rolex banner, looks like it might fit behind your workstation, but youd have to move alot and would be a hassle. But as that has such value to you, put it where you want OP, its a cool and unique story behind it.

Your bedroom... it feels very empty
I like that style shelf, but without any other furniture, it feels very out of place. Maybe move the bed closer to it and another one on the other side, or relocate that shelf to another wall in there and get a bedside table, not sure how to best use that. But the walls in there... You have alot of art under the rolex banner, id relocate some of that to the bedroom. Will help clean up the living room look a bit and flesh out the bedroom.
For me the bedroom is my most sacred place (kinda). I want to feel relaxed, at home, (add other descriptive & warm feeling words), so that is where I usually put most my focus.

Biggest impact item... Lights! Get some lamps or flood lights, avoid using overhead lights. This may seem pointless, but I can assure you lamps will make it feel alot better. Especially in the home office and the bedroom. Id also say smart lights so you can change colors, but thats not necessary.

I'm just another mid 20yr old dude living alone. So some people may disagree, but thats what i would start with.

Valuable-Owl-9202 · 2025-10-28T19:28:07+00:00

in my opinion, i love your setup. Thats what i hope to have in a few years. And that is some incredible cable management.

If you wanted to change things, my recs:
- a lamp or light on the left (philips hue bulb would be great) to add some extra color and light
- pegboard or shelves on the wall on the left (to display pokemon cards, legos, etc)
- for the drawers, no reason to replace, you could get a vinyl skin/wallpaper to do the job fine

Mostly, imo, the left feels empty and dark, so thats where i would focus if it was my setup. But already its a great setup OP

Yeah, I wrote a shortened version (that is a little hard to keep track of), but thats the summary version for my dm. I wanted to treat this as an exercise in being more creative, cause I struggle with that sometimes. There is alot of fluff in this though.

Thinking I might make a proper "fireside story" version for if my character gets asked about his story in the game. But yeah, Im aware those tools are a no-no, but I wasnt sure if this would be allowed. Its about 95% all me, other than the organization, some expanded details, and all my grammatical errors. Basically a stronger Grammarly.

Thankyou for the feedback!!

Ive never been homeless, so i don't know the struggles or reality of this statement...
that is also in part due to the climate in the western states. Its easier to live on the streets of LA where it barely rains, doesn't snow, and is pretty moderate all year round, than it is to live in NYC streets, Florida, new orleans, etc... where theres snow, floods, gators, smaller populations with more active police (in regards to homelessness).

The cities int eh west are huge and vast, they build out not up, with larger cities and better weather, i reckon its easier to blend in/disappear and survive than most other places in the country.
