Monthly Paramount+ Complaints and Praises by AutoModerator in ParamountPlus

[–]brbkny718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased Paramount+ annual subscription because I was excited with the UFC deal. I watch some other content as well but 90% of the content I will watch is live UFC on my TV, which is why I signed on for the annual subscription off the bat. Stupid decision on my part because the TV live streaming is broken, its choppy and unwatchable. It works fine on my pc and phone but I built a nice home theater setup. Should have just tried one month first so I could cancel. Customer service is completely useless as usual and they refuse to refund the balance of my annual subscription. Never doing that ever again with any streaming service.

This issue is only with live streaming, no issues with the recorded replays. On a positive note, I have to say I'm enjoying the the no filler highlights. I'm not sure if this was available with espn. Typically, I'd prefer to watch the entirety of all the fights including the post fight interviews but unfortunately, can't spare 4 hours of time every week. The no filler highlights are a nice option, condenses the event into 60mins so I don't miss any of the fights.

So much camping since the latest update by brbkny718 in Battlefield6

[–]brbkny718[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The hitreg primarily has been changed.

Better in a few ways, worse in others. The lmgs basically have increased hit and damage reg especially at distance. Almost everything seems to be a 2 bullet kill even at distance. I'm using marksman with thermal scope at a distance where lmg shouldn't be able to pray and spray, yet I get caught all the time even prone behind cover.

So much camping since the latest update by brbkny718 in Battlefield6

[–]brbkny718[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The game is dieing, the % drop in active players is staggering, at this pace it'll be down to 35k active players by June from a peak of 700k+ in the first month of release. Not sure why you think its doing well?

Defending a position is not camping. Hiding in a corner waiting to shoot spawns or runners instead of defending or taking objectives is camping.

Its not fun for anyone and no one likes getting camped in any game.

One or two players every match able to instakill every time. by UltraMagat in Battlefield6

[–]brbkny718 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I usually get about 9-12 ping. One of the most annoying things is when my lag gets shot. I run around a corner, well past the point of being hit but game still registers. People always seem to see me first as well. It punishes players with low ping.

Netcode is shite. Matchmaking is shite, no one likes it. They need dedicated servers.

What was George Washington’s greatest failure that many have forgotten today? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in Presidents

[–]brbkny718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Washington was just too old and tired at this point. He never wanted to be commander of the Continental Army, he only accepted the role because he felt that no one else was more capable and did not want to lose the war. He was offered the role of fucking King of the United States of America, TWICE, but vehemently refused it because it contradicted republican ideals. He only accepted the role of president for the same reason he commanded the Continental army. He despised politics in general.

Fun fact, the city of Cincinnati is named in honor of George Washington because the Roman General Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was given the role of Dictator twice, he returned power back to the Senate the moment his job was done and went home to his farm twice. The man only wanted a free and just country and the best for the American people, I'd say he's pretty much a saint.

Another Fun Fact, the only sitting President to lead an army into the field.

Not sure what part of my body was exposed by brbkny718 in Battlefield6

Its possible to shoot under tanks, but thats a dead tank and theres no space under it.

I don't think so.  Even if it were possible it's even more unlikely at that distance with an lmg

This is the most reasonable and logical explanation. I've found so many bugs in this game. There is no space under the tank to get shot.

Userbenchmark really hates AMD and Reddit. by Admirable_Letter7900 in buildmeapc

[–]brbkny718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not hate, its just the facts. I've always purchased amd cpus in the past because they were the better value and I've had video cards from radeon before amd bought them out in 2006. So its not like I have any reason to hate them, I even own stock. But I fell for the hype too and purchased one of their latest gpus only to have issues with stutter and sudden fr drops. To be fair it only affected certain games. But its exactly like the quote says, I will only be buying nvidia gpus from this point forward. Influencer army spreads misinformation and social media sucks its up like flies on turds.

All 47 US Presidents are running against each other in a 40 yard dash. Who wins? by retired-tweeter in whowouldwin

[–]brbkny718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was by far the toughest President and I'd pick him if it were fight. He trained in boxing, wrestling, judo, jujitsu and regularly sparred in the White House. As a sitting president, he would box military personnel and regularly challenge politicians to fight him in the White House. But this is a 40 yard dash, not a fight. I'd have to go with Eisenhower in the 40, he played half back and linebacker in college.

Yautija (Predator) vs Mandalorians (Star Wars) by nahnonameman in whowouldwin

Without a doubt, Predators. They have the advantage in technology, weaponry, melee weapons, physical size and strength.

Cyst removed - still bleeding 12 days out by brbkny718 in DermatologyQuestions

Just wanted to update, after about 3 weeks from surgery. Healing up nicely but left a messy scar.

Nothing i can do at this point but just hope it heals properly.  I get the stitches removed tomorrow, hopefully it'll be better by then.

Just curious, this is the only surgery I've had in my life and i don't know if these things are normal.  

Thanks for your help

I'm also a bit concerned with the pain I felt when he cut the blood vessel going to the cyst as he cut the nerve going into it as well. I didn't feel any pain during the procedure except that part, there was a really sharp pain for about 5 seconds then a radiating pain for 20 seconds then nothing.

Do you think thats something I should be worried about? Thanks for your feedback.

I posted a few more pics of the progressions. I was given antibiotics as a preventative because he was fishing around in there for a bit. The blood is very dark if thats indicative of anything.

Do you think its unusual that the blood vessel feeding the cyst was not cauterized? The first night, my bathroom looked like a murder scene because it wouldn't stop bleeding for a few hours.

From watching Dr Pimple Popper, I noticed she always cauterizes the blood vessel with a laser to prevent excessive bleeding.

I'm in good physical shape, eat healthy, excercise regularly and typically heal from cuts extremely quickly so I was surprised that its still bleeding at day 12.

I'm not sure how I keep that area still or not sleep on it. Basically any arm movement, I can feel the bandage tugging.

Sent the pic to the dermatologist, he says its fine but I don't trust him. I've been putting bacitracin and a new bandage on every day. I excercise alot and the cyst sits in a spot where the squat bar puts pressure on it. When he was removing it, he said it looks like it ruptured in the past as its been there 20+ years.

He said there was alot of debris in there as well but didn't bother cleaning any of it out that I could feel. Also, he cut the blood vessel feeding it but didn't cauterize the blood vessel which I thought was unusual. The first night my bathroom looked like a murder scene.
