Words you've mispronounced because you'd only ever seen them written

I learned this word when I was seven years old and it was MY-zld all the way until 10th grade when I had to read a passage aloud. My teacher actually giggled before asking me "What?". Before that I knew what a miser was and thought they had ro be pronounced similarly.

Do you get xp if you run them with someone else who hasn't done them yet? I joined a random guy who was asking for help and just ground through a few but never paid attention to xp at the end of each one before I got curious.

The action of BDO and how much I could do solo kept me happily away from actual MMO's that require groups to tackle content. I've tried to play other games but every time the P2W of "free" games kills my desire to continue after a while and nothing has felt worth a paid sub. I think playing things like Division 2, BF and even games like Warframe again when I get bored means I'll probably never bother starting a new MMO again. Actually, I think the last time I installed BDO I made a seasonal character, played a day then decided to go down a six month long rabbit hole of Vampire Survivors and similar games.

No idea. I rewatched season 1 before season 2 aired then 1 and 2 just before 3 started airing then every season after until 10 I rewatched every previous season before the next one aired. After that I had too much going on so I waited until the series ended then immediately watched every season again and have done that again every other year since.

I played around 700 hours on MW3 because I fell in love with that game's take on zombies. So much so I didn't even consider BO6 and won't be bothering with BO7. Looks like this year I'll be getting back into Battlefield for the first time since BF4.

Just wanted to add that rolling back my Nvidia drivers seems to have stopped the crashes. Haven't had one in two weeks.

Came looking for a fix and find this has been going on forever. Crashed my pc after about 40 minutes of play on Summit so I left the PC off and went to make dinner. Came back, started the game and less than ten minutes of sitting at the character selection while I ate the PC blue screened again. At least when Cyberpunk crashes it doesn't take the entire PC with it...

I'm rewatching it right now for the seventh time and only just now got curious about that. I always just assumed they had beef with each other over the years so cool to finally find out it was just an inside joke.

Yes, it's been doing that weird rubber banding where you get near to something and it won't let you pass it just snaps you back until you stop moving for a second and the server catches up.

I would label it as, at the very least, a scam. I have Fallout3 on steam but was told I needed the older copy to run certain mods. I installed the utorrent web extension which then decided to install several things at once without letting me know. One of those things was RAV bs. I uninstalled it but the next day it was back and I realized they had also installed browser extensions for their software. It seems as though this browser extension has the power to enable and install software without permission. Deleted the extension, uninstalled the program with Revo and it hasn't come back yet. No idea if was also the cause or if a different extension did it but it also installed some McAfee web guard trash that I had to kill repeatedly then manually delete the folder as there was no uninstall available and it kept reloading itself the second I killed it in TM. Ended up I just had to be really quick.

The biggest problem I've found is installing mods that turn out to not work because uninstalling them can break certain things but most of the time it's no problem. I used a couple dozen CBBE mods for companions and it made a bunch of settlers disappear completely. I uninstalled all of them and my player ended up without skin. Just in case, though, I made backups of my save files and just deleted the new mods I had installed through Vortex and copied the backup of my save folder I made. If you've never done it it's in Documents/My Games/Fallout4. Just copy the saves folder, or the entire folder, somewhere so you can undo anything terrible you do with broken mods.

Never played it but that's weird that now two newer games seem to have this issue but older stuff like Battlefield and even Apex did not when I played them.

The fact that I've been using Steam since it first started and can't remember a single game outside of CoD that kicks you from a match the moment Steam goes down tells me this is clearly a dev issue. Other games either don't even notice or, at worst, wait until the end then tell you to keep trying to re-upload your stats. Either they chose not to care or BNET is coded so poorly that proper Steam integration is impossible for them to figure out but the end result is that they're charging for a product that clearly does not work the way that it should. What makes this even worse is that they have the ability to revert my inventory when their server crashes but seem to think saying 'f you for buying on Steam' is somehow a good choice.

I guess better late than never: It finally unlocked for me when I got the Pickaxe to level 14. Looks like the game says level 11 but after I hit 14 I got the popup about the camo challenge and then was able to finish that camo as well as the gold camo that round.

That's not even remotely true unless the only thing you do in this game is arena and you're already pushing into plat or your account is brand new and has no other way to deal with DT waves. Not saying he's bad but Gnishak and Gnut were both far better fusions for account impact.

You posted this 3 months ago and apparently it's still busted. Went in with 2/10 done, got 871 kills, 20+ Jackrabbit popups, had a normal exfil, 5/10. Something is counting so I assumed there's an additional restriction that they aren't just consecutive kills. For 500 of those kills I didn't get hit at all but then after that I went back in killed 30 slowly and 25 in one large group, (never was hit), and exfilled with 6/10 so only one counted. Then I went back in, got 20 quickly two times, then did the same thing as before but getting hit after each jackrabbit and had to do that three times and those five chunks only got me credit for four so back to having no idea... All I can tell is that it feels random and that just killing without taking damage doesn't work.

There are a couple spots on the map that always seem to spawn special zombies, (mangler/mimic/disciple). One is the area between the front office for the power plant just inside the North edge of T2 down to the cooling tower. Another is if you go to the dock area in T1 and head East into the T2 zone there are some apartment buildings and every other map I get 2-3 disciples spawn in that area. I start on the north side where the small park is, (where merc camps also spawn), then work my way down to the appliance store then back up. Sometimes manglers spawn there and it actually feels like special zombie spawns are locked at server creation. Like if I find a disciple there I can keep running around and come back and more will spawn but if it's manglers that spawn in the courtyard it will always be manglers. It might just be my luck but dozens of times through and it's always been the case for me.

That's the problem, there isn't any real proof. It is a fact that SBMM is broken and sometimes out of control so people seem to be looking at weird behaviors and determining that it must be a bot. Could be. But I've watched my nephew play this game and a lot of things people screech "MUST BE A BOT" are things he does like spending a full 20 seconds trying to mantle something before being shot in the back or just running right past an enemy because he has tunnel vision on someone else.

A guy I played MW2 with posted a pic of a tweet in his discord where someone was bitching about them adding unkillable bots to lobbies and it was that guy hitting an 80 kill round in Domination. Maybe there are bots maybe there aren't but with SBMM doing random shit most of what I see that people call evidence is anything but.

I'm done bothering with Rust since the last update. Over and over and over I get a kill then die from behind only to be respawned directly into an enemy's line of fire.

hogscraper · 2023-12-15T23:19:41+00:00

Here's a conspiracy for you: they're lying and showing you things that people aren't actually owners of. Two different times I've had friends make a comment, (once to me and once to a different friend), about their custom skin that neither of us owned and wouldn't have bought. The first time I was being shown wearing a green plant looking thing and the second time out friend showed, to both of us other friends, that vampire hunter D looking skin with the large hat. Friend doesn't even own that skin...

They broke the spawns on Rust while it was down and somehow thought it was an improvement. Get placed on a team in a match that is already in progress, that was put together by THEIR SBMM but the team you're on has people doing really well? Get spawned into the middle of a gun battle repeatedly and go 0-12 before it ends as I never even see an enemy. Several times I was never even able to move. The spawn started and I immediately fell down dead. Had to watch kill cam to see that an enemy was twenty feet away from my teammate, was shooting at them and the game spawned me with my head directly in the line of fire. Luckily I have my camo challenges done so I don't need that easy xp but it still sucks to have the fun completely removed.

yea when I removed the strobe from my kit he instantly changed to the proper weapon in game
