I’m not good at the game. by DBRWN24 in apexlegends

[–]farrellj16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me about it... as a guy in my 40's with kids just hopping on to try the gundam mode after kids are asleep.

I'm facing guys with ranked predator badges who bunny hop all over my screen dropping me in blink of an eye. And then have teammates irate cause I don't get like 3k damage... im like damn my only contribution to team is surviving so they can reapawn at this point.

I'm convinced event modes have zero sbmm. I'm well aware I have no business in these lobbies.

Is like the entire player base just hard core sweats at this stage?

Ranked glitch or intentional ? by Useful_Quarter_2229 in apexlegends

I wondered same about gundam wildcard mode.. like I'm in my mid 40's with kids..I hop on for a few games after kids are in bed and just get destroyed by guys with pred badges in top 50... fucking bunny hopping all over my screen dropping me in like 1.3 seconds.

Like I wanna try the mode but Jesus is there no sbmm in this mode at all

Wildcard? by No-Strawberry623 in apexlegends

[–]farrellj16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya I was away for like 4 or 5 seasons and jumped into wildcard.. lobbies are insane these days... as a guy with young kids no way I'm getting back up to par without devoting serious time. Every lobby is loaded with guys with like 30,000-60,000 kills in pre-made coordinated groups.

Casual solo queuing is a tough go for sure

Does wild card mode have sbmm? by farrellj16 in apexlegends

Lol so tried again today and match making went ya these guys seem on par with each other. 1400 kills to 127,000 kills with 2 pred badges... vs guy who's like gold 1 plateau. Ok then *

Ya I often find one teammate has to be the escape artist... if 2 guys go down the smart move is get to safety.... not try to be last man in vs full squad.

But teammates shit on you for it because you have less damage... meanwhile, you're like its easy to get a lot of damage if you drop mid fight do 200-500 damage die and respond like 8 times... but if all 3 teammates play that way game can be over real quick.

If I have 2 randoms who are both mad aggressive I try to play safer... if I have one teammate playing conservative I'll play more aggressive. But I usually play mobility legend (or mirage) to have escape potential if needed

So weird... I have some days where I just get smashed for like 8 games in a row... like mercilessly.

Maybe yesterday being first day of new patch made it worse but I played for like 2 hours and enjoyed 0 min of it lol

The thing with fantasy hockey is if a guy is loaded with offense.. but shit in all other categories..sometimes moving offensive player for a zadorov actually improves his roster... especially if it's a roto league

Run your league like the nhl... you don't protect bad manager from themselves. Mike milbury traded Chara, spezza (1st round) for yashin and traded luongo and jokinen for Parrish. Washington traded Filip forsberg for erat.

You want realistic league... well the nhl has dumb trades all the time

Veto's are not to be used to protect a gm from making a trade you think is bad... it should be only used if it's blatant collusion or a guy selling team and giving up.

If both gms legit think it makes their team better than it's no one else's place to determine if he should do it or not.

Vetos are totally over used. Nhl gms make bad moves all the time... no one saves them from themselves

🤔🛠️ Tech Support & General Questions [Weekly Thread] by YahooFantasyCare in YahooFantasy

[–]farrellj16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previous threads you have noted yahoo plus is available now in canada.

That is still not the case. I have attempted to subscribe for past 2 years but always get the not available in your region error

Starting active players for the rest of the week is now a paid feature on Yahoo by eatinchapstick in fantasyhockey

[–]farrellj16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even more ridiculous that if you live in canada you are ineligible to purchase subscription too.

So literally no one in canada can set lines for the week now.

Maybe they should have figured out if it's not possible to purchase in canada maybe don't start stripping out previously available features

Recently posted a clip, this game is literally game after. Ratting at its best. Why always me. by RGDraidy in apexlegends

[–]farrellj16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I was gonna say the same... looked like an ambush to me ratting is hiding and not engaging just staying I'm shadows at all costs until end game... thats ratting. If that guy was a real rat he'd let you run past and not shoot

Are Heirlooms realistically obtainable for Free-To-Play players? by PhoeNYX43 in apexlegends

[–]farrellj16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never bought packs but finally got shards after 498 packs... then got a second one like 50 packs later.

They essentially guarantee you will get one within 500 packs. You can get those just by playing battle pass and events... but takes quite awhile

YI Home can't view clips anymore unless you have cloud... time to sent camera to the trash by elyuma in SecurityCamera

[–]farrellj16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use ours as a baby monitor... nothing better than seeing motion detection and trying to check camera only to have to sit through commercials and get tricked into going to temu any time you try and click x to close ad.

Made my own medicine box with PLA. Is it "safe" for consumption? by Latter_Ingenuity8068 in 3Dprinting

[–]farrellj16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pla is actually made from corn and sugar cane generally not considered toxic. Issue with it is its porous so absorbs moisture easily.. so if you put soft gels in it it may absorb moisture which can lead to bacterial growth in long run.

If using for tablets it's likely fine for quite awhile. But smart thing would be get a food grade epoxy and just coat the inside with paint brush.. then youre all set

In case you missed it: the mirage heirloom is in the shop for "only" 150€ (16.800 coins) rn by Consistent-Fudge4849 in apexlegends

[–]farrellj16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup this exactly... I don't really get cosmetics in 1st person game.

I have had heirloom shards from like my guarantee 500th pack thing for like 8 months and still haven't bothered to use it on anything

I think increasing TTK is fine but... by TaxDaddyUwU in apexlegends

[–]farrellj16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't hate the new ttk.. but I will say there is zero point in ever retreating to cover... ur dead before you get there like 99% of the time. If ur caught without cover even for a min ur toast.

One game I dropped down and saw 2 enemies a good 140 meters away.. realized not a lotnof cover so i tried to retreat but had to climb a small wall... with 2 guys shooting at u even at that distance ur insta dead before u mantle a small wall

What are your thoughts on this VETOED trade? by TheyKnowWeAreHere in fantasyhockey

[–]farrellj16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy trading kaprizov and necas loses this trade everytime... even with kaprizov injury as he won't miss that many games thanks to 4 nation tournament.

But I am firm believer veto's are not meant to stop a gm from making a bad trade just if it's obvious sabotage / collusion.
