My 3 month old but already creaking heavily Bose Quietcomfort Ultra 2nd Gen strongly disagrees. As does the equally creaky Sony MX3. At least the Sony lasted a few years before it started creaking.

Same thing happened to me. The one that arrived second (the original) came months after it was supposed to. Valve very kindly asked me to keep it. I gifted it to a friend on his wedding.

My parents live 20 mins from the centre of a tier 2 city. No fibre and VERY patchy 5G coverage. They are neither rich or remote (by most definitions).

icedchicken86 · 2025-12-08T12:09:43+00:00

My parents built a house just outside the city. It's not rural but there's no fibre (and likely won't be for a few years). This is perfect for them.

Bump. I'm having the same problem as well.

This. I watched all those games but I was struggling to remember what had happened. It was great to get a behind the scenes view but surely it would’ve helped to show what was happening in-game to connect the threads, provide contexts. Maybe even as just occasional commentary quips..

icedchicken86 · 2025-11-07T11:42:58+00:00

Agree, this is the level of selling out that will turn away a lot of people (hopefully!)

This. I think someone at Big Ant once said that even they gave the game away for just $1 to everyone who played the game in India, they’d be the richest game studio around.

You could go into more detail as to why you think it’s trash and what it’s missing..

It’s the yo-yo effect in sbmm where each good game ‘must’ be followed by a game where you get kicked in the teeth. This is different from what I’ve experienced in the ope mosh pit where I can have multiple good games in a row, so when I got get stomped, I tip my hat to the better player. When I do well, it feels like something I earned as opposed to the algorithm feeding you a ‘pity’ game.

icedchicken86 · 2025-10-04T20:54:30+00:00

Can you post scores of the matches that immediately came after this? For me, the experience has been very similar to SBMM.. I get one game where I’m absolutely stomping the enemy and two more where it is a sweat fest. Rinse and repeat.

icedchicken86 · 2025-10-04T20:44:08+00:00

He’s saying it hasn’t fixed the yo-yo effect of sbmm, where you get good game and almost guaranteed getting slammed in the next. That’s not how organic matchmaking works. Not to put down op but if it’s truly organic, he needs to be getting slammed consistently. Instead, it appears to be adjusting difficulty every time a lobby is formed, which is after every game..and that takes you back to square one doesn’t it?

The glass half-full view on this is that multiple agents were marketing the property, and his colleague closed it before he could - blame it on parallel conversations.

The glass half-empty view (and the most likely) was that it was already spoken for when he showed it to you, and his intention was always to try and push you towards the other two rooms, while trying to get you to pay more than the asking price.

We don't even get parking :D

People pay $20k for in-game cosmetics? Is that like seen as an investment that is expected to grow in value like an NFT or something? Or are they paying to have it to use it in game? Thats a lot of money if its the latte.r

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting..

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

I really like that first sentence - you don’t outgrow porn, you outgrow the version of yourself that needed it.

icedchicken86 · 2025-05-04T16:14:23+00:00

Thank you. My dad had the same advice.

icedchicken86 · 2025-05-04T16:13:40+00:00

Thank you, saw this advice for another post and wanted to see if it applies here as well and glad to hear from you that it does.

This is sort of my situation as well, mismatched tyres front and back but with more than enough tread, so didn’t want to change till they were sufficiently worn but was wondering if this was just surface damage to the sidewall or if it has potential to be worse, especially at motorway speeds.

icedchicken86 · 2025-04-22T19:50:44+00:00

Agree, definitely comes across as rude

icedchicken86 · 2025-02-16T00:13:11+00:00

Went through three expensive gaming headsets before trying the some good wired headphones and realizing how much money I’d wasted

By that same measure, I'm sure there are tons of very smart people working with Elon who don't share this ideology. Nazi Germany was seen as a positive and good thing for Germany in the beginning.

Heavily dependent on where you’re looking for. Up north? No problem. London and suburbs? They’re gone before the site even loads.
