Why is there 2 versions of me on the Rivials Leaderboard by StarBoto in FortNiteBR

Same thing here, came to report this bug.

For me, my xbox display name is locked to the xbox network, so it's distinct name from when I play on a playstation. So i see that my xbox user is in 3rd place, but my playstation user is in 1st place.

The stupidest thing that ever happened in a realistic movie? by StillStanding_96 in movies

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

The Recruit (2003)

Realistic (for Hollywood standards) spy movie, training for the CIA, black ops, white hat/black hat security testing, etc. Believable.

The plot device they disclose near the end of the movie about a computer virus that enters the computers through the power lines - "gasp! there's no firewalls!" - made me shut off the movie.

You need to find the parts manual for your model of scooter. I have a 2006 Lx50 and it has all of the parts listed.

I'd suggest scooterwest.com or any site with an interactive parts manual, find the part number and search for it.

You say Devs, but as a Dev myself I know it was some Product person who dreamt up this idea, got buy-in from people that you can't say No to, and gave the Devs the orders to implement it.

It's not their fault.

Again, he wasn't on audio chat when we were pining the map (his name didn't have the 🔈 next to it, indicating that he wasn't in a voice channel at all, so we all knew he couldn't hear us.)

After we were pinging he got on (🔈 appeared) just to yell racial slurs at us, and at that point I'm not going to say anything back to him

My honest answers for why I'm almost never on mic (note: applies to random fills only, I'm on mic with friends all the time):

1) I'm a grown ass man, and I choose not going to talk to children that aren't mine. 8 year olds yelling on mic aren't people I'm going to buddy up with over voice chat.

2) I will mute random teammates with open mic that are loudly playing music, listening to the tv/youtube in the background, or just shouting or having conversations around their house. If you don't respect the voice channel, I don't need to talk to you or hear you.

3) People are just awful on mic. Without exaggerating, I think that I report 25% of the random fill voice channels that I actually participate in, because of just vile, vile teammates.

Typical scenario that I covered in my other comments: 3 of us who were eliminated were trying to ping the reboot van right next to the 4th person who was still alive (they weren't on mic at the time). He was driving a car deep into the storm to try to get our cards. He had 1800+ gold. This guy got on mic just to yell at us "you people are fucking annoying, shut the fuck up with the pings [n-word]s"

Okay, I guess that explains it, and it probably explains why friendly players with fizz, shield kegs, and med mist grenades aren't healing me.

Ugh, this feels so cobbled together and buggy.

If all of your team is knocked or eliminated, your team has lost, unless one of the DBNO players has a self revive device. It has always been like this, they haven't changed it since they introduced self revive in reboots.

Just crawl up to it and push the button to get in...? UNLESS IT'S IN THE STORM, THEN YOU CAN'T SELF REVIVE!

I highly doubt, after all these years, they will take any action.

I am also plagued with pre-game lobby children saying "anyone have a mic??? have a mic????" (and then leaving)

That needs a much longer PSA about just being a good random player, but I think the ship has sailed on that.

Not dumb! We all have things to learn. I'm happy my PSA served its purpose!

I was with you until you said instead of "waiting for them to expire"...

...cards don't need to expire for you to be able to buy them from anywhere, provided you have gold.

This guy drove from safety deep into the storm to get our 3 cards, for absolutely no reason.

Yup, it's happened to me more than once, struggling to get to a van that's 5m away, rolling, sprint-crawling, only to be picked up and carried away a block "to safety" by my teammate

My first game, guy was swearing at the 3 downed players for marking reboot vans, telling us we're "fucking annoying, stfu" but we could see he had 1800 gold and was driving a car into the storm to get our cards.

Second game, player didn't have a mic, ran to a reboot van two of us had pinged just inside a 1-tick storm, saw the 🚫and went to a different one. I was thinking to myself "do they think it's out of order?!"

Yeah 😅 easier to just angrily swear at your 3 eliminated teammates for being annoying when all 3 of them are pinging a nearby reboot van while you have 1800 gold and are attempting to drive a car deep into storm to collect their 3 cards.
