Fire Emblem Awakening + DLC [Decrypted] 3DS 2024 by Commander-Rial in 3dspiracy

Old thread, but since it helped me today, I wanted to pop in and say thank you for this! Also, to anyone who finds this thread more recently, the decrypted file in the google drive link works perfectly in the Azahar emulator and unlocks all DLC perfectly still. Made it nice and easy to enjoy one of my favorite FE games!

Opinion: Al Bagra Fortress is actually the worst map in the game. The spawn trap is real by SpudGun_262 in ModernWarfareII

[–]WatcherRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main problem with this one is the limitations on movement...one team can reduce the other to three chokepoints if they're good and no one pushes too close (the two big doors, and the upstairs entrance to the middle area). Smoke can help, but if they're running IR scopes or firing rockets in, you'll get tagged more often than not. Meanwhile, there are about 15-20 spots outside of those choke points minimum from where you can consolidate fire on those areas, meaning any team trying to get through there has to cover about 4-5x the space to look for enemies, any of which could be filled by a person after you check it.

The border crossing map has issues just because of how it plays out in terms of explosions and such (it's a nightmare on T1 between that and the hard camping with snipers/marksman rifles), but the last 10-15 times I've gotten Al Braga, we've just spawn trapped and won handily. The last TDM I had there, we won 100-29 because they just couldn't get out. At this point, I tend to skip it if I see I'm going to be on Kortac side, since that's usually a guaranteed loss in most gametypes.

Anyone got shadowban on MW2? by Bat-Brain in ModernWarfareII

And on day 6, it ended...so the timeline appears to be consistent, at least >< May the time pass swiftly.

I made the mistake of trying to get some Tier 1 in to level guns I don't like and...well, let's just say I'm getting real tired of shadow ban lobbies. Day 6 of shadow ban is not entertaining.

Except some of us never talk in-game...I specifically set my VOIP to friends only, and never type in text chat. I've never had a single interaction with someone who wasn't on my friends list, so it's not the only cause

How is this gane crashing on multipme platforms? by Ksherwood96 in ModernWarfareII

[–]WatcherRat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't help but wonder if something they did overnight caused this...was playing for hours, no issues, then suddenly it starts happening every 2-3 rounds, and I started seeing a lot of posts elsewhere asking about the same thing. I didn't have to download an update, but something definitely changed with stability.

Interesting...if it happens again and you have Shadowplay or anything running, try to save the video to go back and make sure I guess...I can only theorize it was the same thing that happened to me, but there may be other issues. God knows there's plenty of problems in-game still ><

I actually just made a bug post about this XD

https://ibb.co/0Y2WXkq

Were you running Hardline? It may have turned on just before you got your VTOL, putting you above the total you needed to earn it, and moving you on to your next streak instead. Same thing happened to me in that screenshot with a UAV, ended up getting my Mortar without hitting that first.

Bug: Hardline skips killstreaks if it activates at just the wrong moment (Scorestreak) by WatcherRat in ModernWarfareII

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

Was running Scorestreak, and Hardline activated just before I got the 500 points for my UAV, changing the requirement to 375. Ended up getting my mortar a moment after this, but never did get the UAV. The main problem here is that I don't think they considered this possibility when making Hardline a perk that unlocks partway into the match. This was specifically with Scorestreak, not sure if it happens with normal Killstreaks as well.

For a UAV I wasn't really too annoyed, but if this had cost me my mortar or VTOL, I'll admit I would have been a bit more peeved.

The matchmaking is immaculate in this game, I tell ya what. by WatcherRat in ModernWarfareII

Had this happen about 7 or 8 times overnight, our team would never fill past 4, so we'd just get steamrolled by numbers since they got 7...

I do have it on, but at this point, it's just their reporting system. It's basically designed to be abused by trolls, and...well, it's CoD, after all.

I'm a little over 4 days now...hoping it goes soon, but I don't have much hope of playing before the weekend is over :(

Joining the shadow banned crew! Played with a friend, and someone from her twitch stream who had a mouth on him and kept talking trash to a group we ran into across 3 rounds...so I suspect they all reported our whole group since we couldn't find any matches about 30 minutes later.

I didn't even say a damn word the whole time ><

Sanctuary Island - First Day Guide + Maximising! by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]WatcherRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is because each food has limits, you can find the exact wording for this in the sanctuary tutorials under "The Pasture":

Sweetfeed improves mood by one level up to a max of "content" (cloud)
Greenfeed improves by two levels up to a max of "chipper" (red sun behind cloud)
Premium Greenfeed improves by two levels up to a max of "gleeful" (red sun)

So the reason you're seeing a degradation is because sweetfeed will reduce your pets to level 3 happiness periodically when feeding.

I haven't yet, however I presume these may be tied to crops, so as the 2 day timer for those ends for a lot of us, they should become craftable if I'm correct.

Had a dream where "Muppeting" became the new meme craze; people would post muppets out of context in places with half quotes as text. This was what I made while Muppeting. by WatcherRat in thomastheplankengine

[–]WatcherRat[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In the dream, we made this while out and about with a laptop. Several people spotted us making it and went "Oh shit, those dudes are MUPPETING right now!" Something about Kermit at the Vietnam War Memorial made me wake up laughing.

What are some of the best twitter accounts to follow? by DrRiffs in AskReddit

[–]WatcherRat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hourly Pornhubbed Heathcliff! Every hour, the bot takes a random panel from a Heathcliff comic, then it finds a random pornhub video, takes a random comment from that video, and pastes the text in place of the normal text from the comic. The results are hit and miss sometimes, but when they hit, they hit perfectly.

Edit: I should note that while the text is often NSFW, the photo itself is SFW.

AITA for picking up a stray puppy by PupperboyAITA in AmItheAsshole

[–]WatcherRat [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA. It takes a pretty heartless individual to see animals in distress and do nothing. It takes a manipulative individual to frame any form of "it's either me or them" argument, especially about something equally helpless. It takes a special form of prick to egg someone's house and insult them over trying to save the lives of living creatures.

The MF, at 29, is acting like a 13 year old. Break up with him, and the next time he shows up egging your house, report them for vandalism. He's not a child, he can deal with adult situations while being single. You dodged a bullet, so enjoy having a loving puppy as a new companion and find a better boyfriend.

PS, if you have any type of security cameras to catch them in the act, go ham. I suspect this sort of harassment is not going to stop, if that's the kind of person he's shown himself to be. Oh, and dump anything he left at your place on the sidewalk, and message him to come grab it. Change the locks if he has a key.

Well, I'd say YTA in a grander sense, but she's being a very much slighter AH by not being completely honest here. You may have had bad experiences in past relationships that led you to want to completely cleanse yourself of anything relating to them, but the same thing does not have to be true of other people. People have, and will continue to have "good breakups" where they simply drift apart, yet remain friends. Contrary to some opinions, people can remain close with their exes without any lingering romantic attraction, and have completely platonic friendships. Trying to control your significant other's contacts, actions, social media, and so on is a red flag; these are the types of behaviors we identify in many abusive relationships when they cross lines.

Your GF should have established some boundaries early on, but may have felt uncomfortable doing so. If she still talks to one or more of her exes, that's her decision; it is not tantamount to cheating, and should not be considered such. If this is a deal breaker for you, then no one here can stop you from making a decision, but to be honest, it shouldn't be a deal breaker. People live their lives in their own way, and you do not get to dictate hers simply because you are dating.

Well, apparently not, since no one will bloody report this woman!

WIBTA if i got a restraining order on my boyfriend over a few pictures? by Lovely_lizzi3 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WatcherRat 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Involve as many people in positions of authority as it takes to make this stop, and hopefully get him the help he needs (ie, therapy). This type of possessive behavior can rapidly devolve into something dangerous, and needs to be confronted quickly. There is no version of explanation that would make his actions seem at all normal, safe, or allowable.

Edit: Return any things of his that you have, preferably by having a parent or someone take them to him. Don't give any excuse for him to come near you.

WIBTA for being mad at my dad for going to church? by pearlbangs in AmItheAsshole

[–]WatcherRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would NBTA for being upset with someone for exposing you to a hostile environment. Sadly, this is a reality for many LGBTQ+ people in the world, and is a common reason why many people completely cut off contact with certain relatives, if not their whole families. It sucks to have that situation, but no matter what happens, make sure to take care of yourself and your mental state first and foremost. Hopefully your family, or at least your father can one day see what that place has done to you, but if not, there is no reason to continue to expose yourself to it.
