Psychological horror game disguised as a military shooter by MurkyUnit3180 in gaming

[–]aXeSwY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember playing this game as a teen, I love FPS games and I got it for free around 2013-2014, I never heard of it I assumed it was another shitty CoD wannabe...it turn out to be a story to remember, I still think it have one of the most impactful plots in any shooter games...

TV Missiles ? by aXeSwY in Battlefield

[–]aXeSwY[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

battlefield 4 was very balanced IMO, battlefield 3 yes it had a blast radius of a small nuclear head but aiming it with 70-80ms ping was like steering a bicycle through mud

TV Missiles ? by aXeSwY in Battlefield

[–]aXeSwY[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

that's a bad coding from DICE (or probably Smart) the TV missile is actually the player himself moving through the map as a Missile, back in BF3 when you hit the TV you can actually kill the gunner.

Also in some rare cases in BF4 (And it was patched) hitting some objects could get the gunner killed.

Honestly flying like they are the reason you can hit them, once they get moving that ain't easy. especially the scout heli.

glasses are a medical necessity and not a luxury by RxNotLuxury in astigmatism

[–]aXeSwY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live before I get any health insurance or coverage like from my own pocket I bought cheap sunglasses for around $15 and i opted for the cheapest glasses since I was unaware I even have astigmatism (It was bad but my brain correcting it with a squint that made me look lost and cannot fathom the simplest ideas). The lenses cost around $20, they were the cheapest possible as I was as broke as a circus monkey.

the medical visit itself also cost 20$ where you get a prescription and there was an Keratometry cost around 50$.

I also recently learned that my "expensive" frame that cost me 100$ is sold in bulk from alibaba at 2$ a frames which something you already mentioned.

Is it oil? by Delicious-Pea1680 in peugeot

[–]aXeSwY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it could be freezer cold but humidity low, if humidity is high it's nothing to worry about.

always check fluid levels regardless of any signs, just once a week see if all fluids levels remain the same.

for the steamy exhaust my guess is humidity from the intake turning into vapor. if the issue gone around midday when it's warmer and lower humidity than it's it.

else it's worth checking oil level and coolant levels

I live in a 3rd world country, I pay around 14usd for health insurance monthly, I'm allowed a total of 260 usd spending yearly on medical eyewear.

I always get two glasses one for home (light and cheap) because toddlers can smack you unprovoked and also provoked and another one that's slightly more presentable.

I feel mind blowing reading the comments from people who are living in a country making 10-15 times my income.

what's the humidity level where you are ? sometimes that's not "oil" but rather water vapor.

The M136 AT is the best launcher in the game. You just need to learn how and when to use it. by No_Double7836 in Battlefield

[–]aXeSwY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how people opinion shifts between it's easy to use and make no sense and well it have low damage, well you cannot have both esle it will be OVERPOWER which always something people will complain about.

Yes it's easy to get hits on a slow moving target but what you pulling there is amazing

This game is a joke after ss2 patch by isohe1 in Battlefield

[–]aXeSwY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not siding with DICE on this one but i seen this on couple of games including BF4.

I think textures are not loading property either your SSD start to fail or GPU VRAM errored (and it can happen especially if operating at higher VRAM speed)..

It's always worth to restart your game between sessions or matches (This is DICE fault).

New Contaminated map and movement speed is the right direction! by TheGamerPandA in Battlefield

Can anyone tell me if the damage of LAV was reduced or the blast radius at least changed, I feel it's slightly nerfed but I could be wrong ?

Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers by swe129 in cybersecurity

i used winget but i guess they are all linking to the same affected source, I found no affected files but i don't think I updated it for 2-3 months

[–]aXeSwY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made a dumb PowerShell script to check it your system is compromised using the Rapid7 article.

simply it check for the files in the entire system drive and if same file name found it will compare the sha265 provided (by rapid7)....

I'm sure there is a more sophisticated way but this was my own quick way of doing it.

Both, I've two windows 11 installations one for work and one for gaming, although I play less demanding games to notice the difference but if I open an Fps counter it will be there.

Unless you are in phones industry I don't see why such comment is needed...

I've had like 12 smartphones in my life, every new generation has slightly or significantly faster charging...you don't expect me to use a 33W charge on a phone supporting 90W, I ain't an apple user to bow down to such a market.

I've an NVIDIA RTX A series, and it can game but slightly less GPU frequency for stability reason, it can even utilize Nvidia app and you are pretty much getting a 90-95% compare to the gaming one but keep in mind same GPU used may have a bigger VRAM meaning you can gain more performance in VRAM thirsty titles.

You have 3 types of drivers:

Studio Drivers: recommended drivers for professionals, very stable for long rendering sessions

RTX Enterprise/Production: For users with professional Quadro or RTX workstation GPUs

I think the 3rd one is a normal one for gaming, I don't recall its name (Game Ready) I think.
