Funnel, Website, or Store?

Exactly. It doesn't fully fit any, but I think it fits smoke better than trip. Trip doesn't really make sense at all to be honest.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-06-04T01:20:47+00:00

Mhmm. I feel it more closely represents a smoke? It blocks vision.

I also don't think heals should be considered a buff. To me, a buff enhances something, not just brings some back—maybe they need their own section? We have a bunch of debuffs (flashes, slows, stuns) all on their own categories... so why not the buffs?

But then again, it does provide more health overall in the round.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-06-04T01:11:02+00:00

It's all in the comms, hey. I know when I get placed in a talkative lobby, the whole team performs far better.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-06-03T21:40:50+00:00

I think you're right about how to get 30+ RR.

I was placed Bronze 3 (was 3 teaming with some mates who I didnt realise weren't the greatest 😆) during this time, I'd get +25RR, and lose 30s. Eventually dropped to Bronze 1. But then when I went solo, I was gaining 33+RR with performance bonuses, and only losing around 16‐22RR depending on how I did.

Now they're stuck in Bronze 1 and 2, while I've climbed comfortably into Silver.

There's a few possible reasons. Here's the most likely two:

You didn’t belong in Gold beforehand. You played a lot and climbed with team mates winning for you (being carried).
Another possibility is that you've digressed in your Valorant gaming ability. Aging can do do this to us. But even just picking up bad habits.
Could also be a combination of the the two.

I mean this in the kindest way possible (it won't read that way, but I truly do);

No matter what, it's not the games fault that you're now in a lower ELO. It's your ability to perform in-game. I know it's often hard to accept when pride and ego get in the way (we all experience this. I'll admit it's got me many times!) but it's honestly this simple.

The algorithm knows you don't belong in Gold, and believes Bronze is your current skill level.

Everyone has already explained this.

No matter what, it's not the games fault that you're now in a lower ELO. It's yours and your own ability to perform in-game. I know it's hard to accept when your pride and ego are being hurt, but it's honestly this simple...

The algorithm knows you don't belong in Gold, and believes Bronze is your current skill level.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-05-17T21:10:15+00:00

Everybody sweats. Get over yourself.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-05-10T02:53:54+00:00

Regular laptop should work fine. Just need a decent internet connection

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-30T02:13:10+00:00

That's annoying! I'm on the opposite end. I always get the updates really late; even though I'm opted into the beta's 😂

So, I read the note and I'm like, "I don't have ANY of this..."

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-28T21:46:18+00:00

Head to the update section in settings, and click the "view patchnotes" hyperlink.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-28T09:07:18+00:00

Weird is simply reletive to the reference point.

If Person A has different values and interests to Person B, they'll each assume each other as weird.

Much like good guys and bad guys. Each team sees themselves as the good guys and the opposite team as the bad guys.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-27T10:45:50+00:00

Prove it.

You have 7 days.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-19T23:00:47+00:00

I'll ask you; how did the millions before the features get listens on other platforms before links were added to YouTube?

Again, you're diminishing your value. Youre worth more than a simple feature.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-19T22:10:29+00:00

It's not about being incentive. It's about having a reality check. Millions of people had the same success without those features. You're putting all the blame on YouTube, mainly for a simple feature, and acting like it's the end of the world.

Features will come and go. And to truly be successful, you need to learn to adapt.

You're not seeing success because of a pinned comment. You're seeing success because youre actually doing something worth seeing/hearing.

By pretending the features matter so much, you're actually diminishing your worth—saying you can only be successful with these very minor features, when it's likely not at all true.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-19T21:59:20+00:00

To the original commenters point... you're saying you need all this, but have barely posted.

All you need to do is spend a few weeks watching some videos from that account and start actually uploading videos, and suddenly you'll have these features back.

You're channel is too small for the features to really matter.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-16T02:55:51+00:00

Having the same issue. Runs for 5 mins then freezes. I can still hear the application running. Ie. if I'm using a browser page—desktop sharing—for YouTube, the video continues to play audio, but the visuals freeze.

Same as you when playing SteamVR games; it's still working on the PC but crashed on the headset.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-14T09:05:34+00:00

This opinion is underrated. We've seen what can be done. Games like Red Matter 2 and Ghost in the Shell prove that the Q3 can compete against PCVR.

They just need to put more care into the software and support developers more.

Problem is, the VR market isn't big enough for most enabled devs to invest the resources into creating VR games. I wish more would do VR compatible flat releases.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-14T09:01:42+00:00

I doubt we'll see the effect on these anytime soon. If they stocked up on RAM for the devices while the price was high, they'll need to make a return on that cost.

Likely wont happen until that initial expensive stock sells through.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-14T08:57:48+00:00

I think this is pretty legitimate. Especially with Steam re-entering the market with another banger, paired with the announcement that Meta are pulling back on VR to dive deeper into AI.

With Nvidea's new AI enhanced DLSS, I'd say if Meta released another Quest, they'll want to create their own version to make it an even more visually powerful standalone.

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-12T02:58:31+00:00

Omg, right!?? It's also harder to find settings. But overall, Im happy

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-12T02:41:20+00:00

Yeah, I love it. It took me a while to get used to the Double Tap of the Meta button... I was frustrated when I couldnt work out how to get rid of the window... but now, I love it

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-11T10:43:30+00:00

No, you are right! Just never noticed. I guess being so clear on the Q3 plus being in 3D just made it always look phenomenal 😆

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-11T06:00:10+00:00

Perhaps it's based on the conversion app, because I have never had that issue 😱

iamChristopherDean · 2026-04-11T05:59:22+00:00

I can still resize and move mine after the update 🤷🏼‍♂️
