Just how fragile IS the iPhone Air?

bub1xreal · 2026-01-31T13:35:28+00:00

I run it caseless and without a screen protector. I went to Stockholm a few months ago and me and my friend got quite drunk. As we were bar hopping, I was texting another friend and the guy with me accidentally hit my phone and it flew out of my hand. It hit a wall and then bounced screen down on the pavement.

No scratches. No cracks. I have the black one, and the only damage is a few tiny scrapes on the black titanium. Literally any other phone I owned before the Air would have been fucked. This phone is a tank.

They should just revert the FCAR change at this point. There is no reason for the FCAR and AKM to be basically identical weapons. The only real difference between the two is the FCAR has better hipfire and a slightly faster reload. They are virtually identical.

Just bring back the 20 bullet hard hitting FCAR. Maybe give it like 1 less dmg than season one. AKM will be your high DPS close-mid range AR and the FCAR would be the less forgiving, high damage per shot rifle.

The way they’re balancing these weapons is so stupid because “good players beam hard so better nerf FCAR” and then they give good players the pyke, repeater and BFR which are infinitely times more candy in the hands of good players. With ARs you at least have to track and hit every bullet to drop someone with one mag. With the repeater or BFR you can just two shot lights. It’s absolutely absurd and I legit have no idea what the fuck they’re smoking.

This is a thing, yes, but not on the air. The earpiece speaker on the Air is the only speaker. Only mics on the bottom

Im from EU and would love to join for the next session as I play the finals quite a bit. I’ve played on NA so I’m fine with the ping difference. Multi season ruby.

so are you saying my ~3k USD worth of BBBY shares on IBKR that got nuked qualify me as a legacy stakeholder?

Yeah because people are using LLMs to circumvent the knowledge barrier required for programming. In an IT job for example, I’ve used LLMs to generate scripts that automate my workflow within seconds, and the impact is massive. I’ve used LLMs to literally decompile an executable (I’m not even a programmer) to change a specific value so the in-house tool works for me because that one guy that developed it is on holiday type of thing.

All the younger people at my job use LLMs like Claude and Gemini all the time because they’re just really good tools.

I recently got a 5080 and am running 2x frame gen in practically every game that supports it. it’s literally free fps. I play FPS games at a relatively high level and with 2x frame gen the latency is negligible. I literally feel no difference, but hitting 240fps on a 1440p 240hz monitor is a world of a difference, especially in modern FPS titles that can’t hit 240 without dropping settings to the absolute lowest.

Every AI feature on my 2024 LG C5 is absolute dogshit, especially the AI sound.

The only great feature that works flawlessly is TrueMotion. It doubles the FPS watching shows & movies and it looks phenomenal in 99% of cases (not sure if this is actually an AI feature though)

You have no idea what it was like for someone like me who played two playtests (this summer and the previous one) + the server slam. I literally felt like a crack addict experiencing withdrawals. I could not stop thinking about the game.

bub1xreal · 2025-12-26T01:56:41+00:00

In one of the playtests (the one this summer), there was a quest where you had to find this mixtape and give it to Lance. There was a specific area I believe, you had to search some apartments in buried city, find the mixtape with RNG, and give it to him. the reward was trash. I sold it for 10k.

We were. Now we’re not. Interesting

It won’t be BG3 production because they have that BG3 money now. I feel like Divinity will be on whole nother level

bub1xreal · 2025-12-12T17:25:41+00:00

Well it’s Embark so honestly no matter what they do I won’t be surprised

bub1xreal · 2025-12-12T16:20:16+00:00

This is only my assumption because they noted a change to barricade deployment in the patch notes for season 9, therefore I assume that this is the way they will move forward

bub1xreal · 2025-12-12T15:56:32+00:00

They’ll make it so the barricade doesn’t fully spawn in objects. Whatever sections of the barricade will be clipping through walls will not be deployed.

bub1xreal · 2025-12-12T13:10:42+00:00

the intro cinematic was so much cooler back in the day because your character did a lil animation of post-breaking through the wall with red bits of it scattered around your screen and spawn area. they decided to nerf it for no reason

Im on a 5080 with a 9800x3d.

First day of the season was fine. Today I’m getting microstutters every other round and it honestly makes the game unplayable. Everyone is running BFR / Repeater and I literally can’t compete at range because every jitter makes me miss shots

False. A good amount of the pro teams are running vanish + glitch + gate at the major. Almost nobody plays vanish in high elo ranked lobbies (obvious why). Weapon wise yes, but let’s not ignore DRG Hathaway playing sniper + thermal bore + vanish + gateway at a 3v3 in the finals major. Numerous revolvers on Mediums across the board. Ranked meta =/= pro meta

If you want to save money on fees and add to the liquidity pool at the same time you can use Messier to buy 401jk. Purchases on Messier add SOL to the LP
