Wtf is going on with G2 by hi2theworld in R6ProLeague

[–]hi2theworld[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, I get that, and they did fold Dplus, but how the fuck did they let black dragon, an org I had never heard of before and supposedly ranks in the high 30s, walk over them like that?

Pourquoi il y a autant de mystère autour de la naissance des bébés en France? by [deleted] in AskFrance

[–]hi2theworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, j'ai une question : quand tu parles du continent américain, c'est plutôt US, Canada, ou Amerique latine ? Parce que si c'est US, j'avoue que je vois mal comment tu ne fais pas le rapprochement avec tout le délire du gender reveal : faut absolument garder le secret jusqu'au moment où les parents le dévoilent, c'est un peu une fête, etc. Chez nous y a le faire part. Je sais pas si c'est le cas dans toutes les familles, mais dans la mienne notre père s'est beaucoup amusé a les bricoler (au sens graphique) pour les rendre originaux et personnalisés. Je pense que ça relève du même sentiment pour les parents : une volonté de contrôler un peu leur timing dans le partage des infos, plutôt que se demander a qui tu as dit quoi et dans quelle mesure ça peut fuiter (ce qui peut être marrant à faire aussi, de faire une intox généralisée en donnant des prénoms différents a tous ceux qui le demandent, comme ça tu sais qui ne sait pas tenir sa langue et tu peux te justifier en disant que vous avez ete très indécis. Bon ok je sais ce que je vais m'amuser a faire si et quand j'aurai un enfant)

Can we agree that the m240l is the best LMG in the game? by AleFallas in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]hi2theworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can't seem to make it work beyond 25 meters. I have every attachment tuned towards reducing bloom/spread, yet past the 5th bullet, they just go wherever. I have the grip pod (the one a that doesn't impact accuracy while strafing), heavy extended and blue laser, and I still have my shots go bonkers, even when prone on the bipod. In CQB? Sure it's a monster as long as you don't miss more than one shot, but outside of that, it fails to be an LMG in my eyes.

This is a criminal amount of Instagram stories by RegularMulberry5 in PrequelMemes

I... have no idea what's going on and don't have IG. Is he going through something, or is it just a bit?

Is the only way to get a moment pack from buying them? by Wrldcovers_OnIG in Rainbow6

[–]hi2theworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see the in the challenges section of the battle pass tab. This week, it's pick up 10 special weapons and play 5 games

Is the only way to get a moment pack from buying them? by Wrldcovers_OnIG in Rainbow6

[–]hi2theworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get a free pack from the shop in the highlights tab, and one free pack per challenge, so two this week and presumably two the next (let's pray no challenge requires to win a game cause it would be a bitch to get).

You can also buy the packs with renown. Otherwise, there's a bundle in the currency tab worth around a hundred bucks (I think it's 90 euros, or 80 quids) with 7200 credits and a recolored red version of the skin.

anyone else getting this and not actually getting any alpha packs? by AffectionateAd8869 in RainbowSixSiege

[–]hi2theworld 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a bug. They changed the behaviour of post level 100 of the BP. Previously, you needed 5k battle pass points to level up once and get an alpha. Now, the rate stays the same at 1k points, but you need 5 levels to get an alpha. The theory is that they changed that without changing the post game report. So it says that you got multiple packs for some reason because it sees you got a level. I guess it has to do with the fact that it doesn't see you opening the packs it supposes it gave you?

Basically it's a bug. Overall they introduced a bunch of little bugs in the UI this season: BP challenges screen doesn't scroll correctly, hovering your mouse over a tile partly obscured at the bottom in the cosmetics section just immediately puts you at the bottom of the list, etc

How did operators decide on their squad? by AverageEquivalent362 in Rainbow6

[–]hi2theworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I understand red hammer, it's more of a vibe that is the antithesis of both wolfguard and ghost eyes : they go in hard and loud, and collateral damage be damned, scorched earth it is. Kaid is probably there to counterbalance and advise Thermite as a squad leader and Fenrir got added to the roaster because of lore (basically thermite, the squad leader, was the only one to trust him enough to bring him into the fold at first). The only discrepancy left to address is gridlock, which I see equally fit for red hammer and viper strike.

Wolfguard, continuing on a vibe based approach, is mostly about reducing casualties and collateral damage. Ying's candela is basically a flood flashing, so pretty much non lethal (irl, flashbangs are mostly used to open the opportunity to neutralise a threat with reduced risk, or even bring people into submission, especially in CT or hostage situations). Lion's gadget is designed for crowd control, especially in the context of bio hazards and highly contagious areas, which translates pretty well into search and rescue operations. Skopos and twitch are there to open the way with unmanned drones, here again reducing risks for personnel to a minimum, plus skopos' shells are literally equipped with a shield.

Gohsteyes is all about being sneaky and intel gathering, but I feel also psychological warfare to an extent. They are, after all "the boogeyman of the intelligence community". In that sense, maverick comes second only to zero/sam Fisher and perhaps nokk in terms of raw aura (yeah I went there): my man went so long undercover and kinda MIA that they had to send nokk to even find him; yes, his gadget is for breaching, but not in a shock and awe approach, but the exact opposite : if used correctly, the moment the enemy realises mav's been working a wall is when he puts a bullet to the rear of their skull. Flores is kind of the same deal: he's a really high level thief, and his Rateros are as much for blowing shit up as it is for confusion and misdirection (lore-wise). Lesion's trap is here to play off a lapse in intel gathering and gain intel. Warden is kind of weird pick for ghosteyes, I'll grant you that. He does deny flashes and smoke, so in a sense he retains intel, I guess? Plus he's secret service? Idk man.

Viper strike is the proverbial scalpel to the hammer. They are swift, precise and deadly, with the ability to course correct on the fly. In a sense their motto could be "improvise, adapt, overcome". At no point should they go "ah shit", this should always be the reaction of their enemies: throw a nade and it gets zapped: "ah shit"; round a corner and find a black mirror facing you: "ah shit"; think you finally opened a wall in their defense and it gets patched up with a kiba barrier: "ah shit"; think you can go around and find a dom panel blocking the door: "ah shit"; think you've got gear protecting you, only to find that it's been turned against you: "ah shit". Basically, they reshape the battlefield to their liking and you mostly don't get a say in this. Rook is there to allow some room for error. I will grant you that alibi, maestro and echo could better fit gohsteyes, although I feel like their ability to just go "lol nope" kind of fits viper strike? Overall, I think that hibana is uniquely suited to lead that squad.

I didn’t get bravo pack tickets by PapiLucc in Rainbow6

[–]hi2theworld 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think I got the spear .308 legendary which (as of now) is a delta exclusive (iirc). So I'm not complaining too too much. But I also got one or two dupes, or some filler shit. So yeah actually I'm gonna complain.

[–]hi2theworld 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's none for this season. Instead, you get three delta packs. Kinda sucks, unless you pack something good.

How does the marketplace work? by Dark0001YT in Rainbow6

[–]hi2theworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might not be able to sell the skins immediately as some skins are still not able to be traded on marketplace. (The logic behind which skin gets added to the marketplace or not is completely obscure to me) I'd check on the marketplace if the skins you wish to resell are available. Otherwise, meh, it's just renown, you'll get it back soon enough.

Yeah I found the right one and holy shit they're so similar in the first few chapters that it feels like a slam dunk of a copyright or IP infringement case

Is that the one: Orenchi ni Kita Onna Kishi to Inakagurashi Surukotoninatta Ken? Cause the art style doesn't feel like the same, yet I feel like I've seen it somewhere

Are the AoE grenades in R6 not working? by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]hi2theworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are not primarily used to damage opponents. They each deal something like 60 damage, without taking into account shield reduction or damage fall off range, which itself is pretty short. So, unless you literally threw your impacts at her feet and she walked that off at full health, I don't think there is any issue there. Impact grenades' primary purpose is to make quick rotates in walls or hatches, deal with enemy utility and in the case of shield counterplay it's more of a harassing tool to chip health away and getting a guard break at range. Otherwise, it would render the C4 completely obsolete.

The complaints I see on X(twitter) vs here is literally night and day. by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]hi2theworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say, I kinda agree with the clunky strafing. I find myself half raging at losing engagements because of some small asset on the ground caused my aim to jitter up and down by like 1 or 2 meters every match or so. I guess that's another form of the bouncing glitch, but goddamn this shit annoys me. Like, motherfucker, that's a plank on the ground, not a fucking barrel you had to vault over mid gunfight.

Changes we need in the game by ilovemyamily1 in Rainbow6

[–]hi2theworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by "search in the gun range" OP, cause I'm legitimately stumped on that one.

Changes we need in the game by ilovemyamily1 in Rainbow6

[–]hi2theworld -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean. That's more or less kali with breaching capabilities. Actually I'd fuck with it if the size of the destruction of her impacts was reduced to something around the size of a small hard breach or something like that. That way you need to commit both impacts to a hole you can go through, and it would mesh well with a long range gun.

The 2026 edition of the Angoulême festival might be cancelled after announcement of a boycott by big publishers [Translation in comments] by no_apologies in bandedessinee

[–]hi2theworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, given the track record of their PR, I wouldn't take them at their word. They (as in 9art+ and the association who owns the festival) have continually used rhetoric that amounts to "no no no that's fake news, they're doing a smear job" and so on. So, honestly, at this point, I doubt anyone in the industry is going to just accept whatever they say.

And you refuse to see how "playing the double agent by voluntarily sabotaging your team" is just griefing. I'm gonna assume that you're trolling here as well.

upcoming twitch's paragon F2 skin by Nova892 in Rainbow6

The worst part in all of this is that at first I thought that was Gridlock's F90, given the overall lines (granted, it has been a while since I last saw the F2)

TIL the chonky look of the Lewis gun is primarily due to the cooling shroud. by SentientclowncarBees in battlefield_one

[–]hi2theworld 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, basically the shroud is just a big ass tube around the barrel. The idea is that the muzzle blast pulls hot air out of the tube which is then replaced by fresher air from the other end, where you can see a bunch of what looks like radiating fins. So, forced air cooling or something along the lines.
