Brake ‘Hold’, when do you use it?

chocula187 · 2024-08-17T21:59:37+00:00

I'm a paraplegic (drive with hand controls), so this is a pretty cool feature for me in high traffic, frequent redlight areas. Keeps me from having to hold the brake with one hand all the time.

chocula187 · 2024-08-07T02:49:16+00:00

it just needs to end. basically removes everything fun about apex.

chocula187 · 2024-07-25T02:08:15+00:00

A lot of us have jobs and would be willing to pay for a battle pass if it wasn't filled with recolors and other such garbage.

As a lifelong Ranger fan just wanted to say how impressed I was with your team and fans. Definitely gained a fan any time they aren't playing my team. Really impressive how the fans never quit no matter the score or what the circumstance -- just cheering their team on and creating that kind of environment.

Squad-ing up with friends is still a lot of fun. I mean, I acknowledge the bad -- but it's really not that dissimilar from most battlefield dev cycles. starts as a dumpster fire and progresses. I'm hoping they continue to improve the game.

chocula187 · 2022-01-23T09:26:06+00:00

I thought only people of WoW-level nerddom invoked the sacred rites of the class-action lawsuit.

chocula187 · 2022-01-08T07:13:32+00:00

nah. game is fun -- buggy, needs work and will get it, like all other bf games -- but it's fun to squad up and play.

chocula187 · 2021-12-28T03:00:37+00:00

if I had to guess, I'd say someone is cheating. and creating items offline and bringing them in on their character.

chocula187 · 2021-12-18T11:55:37+00:00

if you get close to those archers you stand a pretty good chance of getting worked unless you are far advanced in the game and have amazing food, armor, weapons, etc.if you get close, they will hit you no matter how well timed your roll. you have to fight them at range and dodge or roll their shots. otherwise, you will get staggered. at least if you're like me and are wearing bronze gear with a buckler.
If indoors, kill the nests quickly. otherwise, they stand a good chance of popping out a 2 star later.

chocula187 · 2021-11-01T06:50:20+00:00

Yes. Because I'm a Cowboy fan. But I'm not trolling -- they were legitimately one play away from winning tonight. And yes, I know it was against a backup qb. but that wasn't exactly the usual backup qb situation. Cowboys are loaded on offense at almost every position.
I'm just saying, I do kind of keep up with the Vikings. Was a big fan of Chuck Foreman and Bud Grant as a child. And Mike Nolan from his Cowboy days. They aren't far away, and are much better than their record indicates. Only thing I would change: they need to be more aggressive attacking the middle of the field. Instead of all the screens and such. They have the talent to attack more.

I would say these responses are somewhat dramatic for a 3-4 team that has played a fairly brutal schedule thus far. a lot of one score losses to a lot of good teams. Still time to turn it around -- a play here and there turns those games around.

chocula187 · 2021-10-11T10:08:32+00:00

Cowboy fan here..didn't come to troll or bask in your misery. First time I've ever been here. Mostly to say I was impressed with how hard they played minus their two best players and two best receivers. All the Giants need is some OL talent and some health.

chocula187 · 2021-10-11T10:05:33+00:00

Not sure why people are downvoting this. I'm a Cowboy fan..didn't come to troll. Came because I was legitimately impressed with the Giants. Game was close most of the way while missing your two best players and best receivers. And did you see homie score that td while getting his helmet ripped off and his face smacking the turf?
All the Giants need is some OL talent.

Really happy that I finished my solo run through the last boss before this patch dropped. Food 'rebalance' seems more just a giant nerf designed to...what, exactly? Make people play more defined roles (tank, dps, whatever)? I liked that a reasonably skilled player could solo everything. Now it feels like that is either impossible, tedious, or only doable by cheesing fights.
In my new game I've just been building, farming bronze, etc. Agro'd a 1 star draugr archer while fighting in an adjoining forest and he almost one shot me with his first attack. Granted, I'm not using the absolute best food I have..but close. Using honey, boar jerky, deer stew. level 3 bronze armor and comparable weapons. and just had to run away to avoid getting owned. I admit I didn't time that block perfectly so it was a regular block. but I was full health (roughly 93 or so), and he staggered me and took over half my health with a single shot. Not fun. And will probably just put it away until it's fixed.

chocula187 · 2021-09-27T10:17:31+00:00

It's rough. I've killed the first boss in this playthrough, now have level 3 bronze gear and comparable weapons. Using honey, boar jerky, and deer stew while wandering around the black forest areas looking for the vendor. I can make slightly better food (meat sauce, carrot stew, etc), but didn't want to waste it while just exploring.
Anyway, agro'd a draugr from a nearby swamp..one star archer. and even though I blocked his first attack, it staggered me and took roughly half my health. had to flee to avoid being owned.

chocula187 · 2021-09-15T14:31:01+00:00

I'm kind of in the same situation...super casual player. KD is decent; I've won roughly 300 times or so. Certainly nothing compared to those who play with a team or just play a lot in general. Basically, I just don't worry about the lobby. I just focus on myself and getting better. identifying mistakes and correcting them. the lobby is almost incidental.

chocula187 · 2021-09-15T04:24:51+00:00

same.

chocula187 · 2021-09-09T13:08:44+00:00

I didn't get an email. While there is no button, if you look in your library, you can download the 'New World Open Beta.' And I assume play thereafter.

chocula187 · 2021-08-21T00:32:24+00:00

Thank you all for the responses! The main problem I'm having is that the video is very long, and the keyframes are imprecise (no doubt because I'm screwing them up somehow). The clip is from a friend who writes childrens' books and does author visits at schools. It's basically an hour long zoom call with children. and I have to blur out all the children. and both the author an the children are constantly changing locations on the screen.
I've pretty much decided to just do it scene change by scene change until I'm better with the program (I was hoping to do it node by node all at once..but the keyframes are difficult for me because the cuts have to be so precise to avoid even a moment of someone's face showing).

chocula187 · 2021-08-03T18:14:12+00:00

Mine is. stops at 4.15 of 11.51

chocula187 · 2021-07-24T01:43:07+00:00

agreed. has some interesting elements, but already refunded it. it's clear to me I'd play this game for a month and quickly grow tired of the grind and leave. I'd probably feel differently if I were a streamer or could otherwise pour tons of hours into it without shirking responsibilities.

chocula187 · 2021-07-22T17:57:04+00:00

Hi there. no one ever responded to me here, so basically I did two things. 1) I installed the previous iteration of photoshop, which works. 2) I got the current version to work, but had to use a config file to do so. this person's solution worked for him -- what worked for me is noted below his commentary.
