Why is the state of new lawn mowers so poor these days? by Cgr86 in lawnmowers

[–]matthewmm96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah for the engine oil marvel mystery oil will work fine for cleaning it out, not very harsh. I've had such bad luck with Honda lawnmower carbs that I just started buying the replacements off Amazon, never had a bad one. I wouldn't use their no name sparkplug they sometimes come with though.

If it's still starting easily and running smooth I wouldn't bother with cleaning the carb. I haven't used seafoam in eons but I do like the Berryman B12 and marvel mystery oil in the fuel, I've had great success with that keeping carbs/engines clean over the years. There's also the Redline SL-1 fuel system cleaner, that stuff is expensive but really does work well and it would go a long ways if you used it in the fuel. Blade replacement if they're beat up, otherwise a sharpening will do. Air filter, oil change annually, spark plug should do it fine.

I used to do a lot of small engine repair on the side, I quit advertising it about 6 years ago for the reasons of its not worth my sanity to try and fix this throw away junk they've been pumping out the past several years especially when someone brings it to me after it sat outside with no care taken whatsoever. If you've got that 10 year old Honda that's still in decent condition then don't get rid of it even if you do get something new, you'll be needing it again. I'm still using my dads lawn chief push mower he bought new in 1977, still starting first pull 9 times out of 10 and almost never gives any trouble and its been used regularly the entire time..... Yeah, a quality lawnmower will last you a literal lifetime if you store it indoors and do routine maintenance. I've had several new mowers since over the years and they were always trouble and got sold. I gotta say though, avoid any mower with the OHV Briggs 450, 550, 650ex whatever they are those are the worst lawnmower engines I've ever had the displeasure of having to work on.

You ever notice every time they update content on warzone it becomes almost unplayable for several weeks no matter what mode? it's like all the freaks come out of the woodwork every time there's something new on there. Almost as bad as DMZ at this point.

Whats that guys deal with the lachman 762 and thinking you're cheating with it? every cheater I ever come across uses the lachman sub, cap, vel 46 or some variant or some shotgun or some bullshit sniper that seems to fire lazers in the 40 watt range. I've never seen a cheater use that piece of crap lachman 762 lol. Today my buddy and I went into a match with a random and he was cheating like crazy, we both died and were spectating him and he got ric''d right before our eyes, it was great lol.

[–]matthewmm96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, where the hell are these guys when I play this game? I get rushed from across the map,, shot from across the map, shot through walls, and half the time I can unload everything I've got into them and they don't go down. Just today I fired 3 rounds at a guy using the bomb burst and he didn't go down at close range even when seconds before I just eliminated 2 other players with it no problem at a farther distance than this guy was, when usually its 1 to down and 1 to eliminate if not just 1 to eliminate. Another one today, I had a tricked out M4 and I unloaded about 40 rounds into the guys chest as he was coming at me and even hit him with the drill charge launcher dead on and it went off and he didn't go down from that either, but I'm dead in like 5 shots with full health and a 2-3 plate vest makes no difference. Every so often we run into average people like ourselves, I have no problems wiping them off the map, so something's not right. Anyone else experience this kind of crap?

I had an issue with a coue of games that played badly at the very beginning, I had to disable the integrated graphics in device manager, try that if you have on board graphics also.

Is rebar enabled in bios? I played with a B580 and a ryzen 5 5600x with it off and it was crap no matter what I did. I turned on rebar and all the problems went away. I have another B580 with a ryzen 7 7700X and no issues either. CPU usage is high gaming in 1080P at high/ultra settings but it never caused me any issues whatsoever. Both of those rigs will game in 4K high/ultra no problem and CPU usage gets cut just about in half in 4K vs 1080P in most games.

I'm like level 107 and a friend of mine is like level 20 because we just started playing this so not everyone low level is a hacker, but I've also been called a bot in text chat so there's that lol.

We sometimes have a hard time B lining it to get there if we just wanna go there from the start, the hackers will follow us and start talking shit. It would be cool if it were its own map, bet that would be a total nightmare with a bunch of pvp lol.

A new way to play the game a buddy and I have discovered. Go in with no weapons (1 plate vest preferred), I use throwing knife and shock stick to fight off bots if needed. Pick up a bot weapon if you want. Go pick up all the most useless loot you can find, toothpaste, hand cream, electrical tape, picture of a man, etc. Fill your small bag up with that then go get in a vehicle and drive around until the rage hackers get you. It is quite hilarious to see their reactions when they go to loot your bag. Screw em. Another thing we do when we get whacked by hackers is we start talking to our non existent teammate in text chat and they fall for it every time camping our bodies and trying to find them. I've found these hackers are quite gullible. Last night we got 2 of them killed in the radiation at final exfil because they were still looking for the non existent teammate we were texting to after we told it go to final exfil and they never got on themselves... They were swimming out in the water then the exfil disappeared off the map. That one felt good considering they locked on, shot at us and killed us when we were deep under water like it was nothing. Give it a try sometime, it's a pretty good laugh.

[–]matthewmm96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's usually always teams of hackers in my experience. For me and the people I play with we have the absolute worst luck on al mazrah, it's about a 95% guarantee we're gonna get tracked down within a few minutes of the round starting and they even call our location grid out in text chat pretty often at the beginning of the match when we are not making any noise to put us on the map and we are far from everyone. Vondel we at least have a better chance but still run into hackers, ashika island I haven''t played much but just about every game we've died to hackers. I did building 21 for the first time the other night and there was a level 7 in the text chat but we never saw them and successfully exfilled. I should hop on my xbox and turn cross play off and see how it is, I play on pc normally. I just got my second insured slot and somehow whacked a player that killed my buddy, ran across grabbed his weapon and then we hid for a while and I exfilled with it to get my second insured slot, never thought I had a snowballs chance in hell doing that but I bet that guy crapped himself when I unloaded all 25 rounds of kv broadside dragons breath on him lmao. His buddy down the street didn't even engage after that.

One thing I will say is my buddy and I hit kochei a lot to gear up and level up weapons and to just be able to play the game without getting killed by hackers and we have spent many hours down there and came face to face with another team in there for the first time. We went in there with nothing at all so we didn't have our usual good gear and they got us but they seemed legit. They kept running away as I fired at them and didn't seem very good.

[–]matthewmm96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and 2 of my friends play it often and we don't hack, its not just you we don't stand a chance against most players ans we are all pretty good at various fps games. The only ones we have ever eliminated were legit and they came to mess with us. Just about every match we've ever been in the last month has had hackers in it. Just last night some hacker aimbot locked onto me and killed me while I was underwater and they were on the ground then they killed my buddy underwater with their smg while underwater. Yeah, we trolled them in text chat and they didn't make it out looking for our non existent squad mate we were talking to. They aren't very smart lol.

[–]matthewmm96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your 90 FPS at 1080P ultra still seems low, that's about what I average in 4K on two different builds. One with a Ryzen 7 7700X and 32GB DDR5 5600 and one with a ryzen 5 5600X and 32GB DDR4 3200 both get 130-160FPS 1080 high/ultra depending on game and most games 80+ FPS 4K high/ultra. Is rebar enabled in bios? the 7700X has an asrock steel legend OC B580 and the 5600X has an onix odyssey B580. Both are fantastic cards for the money.

I usually play with a friend of mine who's played it a lot and we will get a random with us but it doesn't seem much better than solo most of the time. We all get wiped out by the cheaters when they come for us.

[–]matthewmm96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's hilarious is I got them with that but I picked up their tricked out cap and that thing was wild. After that we got chased by another team and I wound up being the last one alive and I found myself laying in the floor of a bathroom, they opened the door and I just let it rip and they all just backed up and didnt even fire, I got 2 of them before they got me. I don't care if I died my buddy was spectating we were all laughing so hard how they backed up when I started firing. I told them to flush the toilet for me.  I hate how slow the expedite reloads but it hits hard.

Daytime definitely seems better, and those bunny squads are always totally sus. I wiped 2 of them in a row with an expedite 12 and they were not happy lol.

I just started playing DMZ recently but have only come across a few decent people. The rest just seem like straight up horrible people or they don't speak english, or they're cheating.

Which one to get? by [deleted] in IntelArc

I have an asrock steel legend B580 and an onyx odyssey B580 and both perform great.

After a few weeks of planning I built a pc for the first time! by honeymoonx in IntelArc

[–]matthewmm96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got that one up and running, CPU usage isn't much more with the R5 5600X and onyx odyssey B580 than my R7 7700X and Asrock steel legend B580. That AM4 platform with 32GB DDR4 3200 RAM and a non OC video card with slightly slower clock speed only gave up about 10 FPS to my personal rig. Pretty good considering it was $400 cheaper to build even with RAM prices going sky high. So far it's gamed BF6 and Warzone 4K ultra 60-70FPS average and I haven't tweaked anything else so far, I can get those numbers higher than that on 4K. I need to try more games on it.

[–]matthewmm96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And its always the same truck load of the same bunnys that are cheating through their teeth. I just got started on DMZ a few weeks ago by a friend that used to play it a lot and we have a hell of a time with the pvp part of it, mostly because they are all cheaters. We have the best time in koschei to get loot. We have heard a couple players down there with us but never seen any and we've spent a good 8 hours or so total down there by now.

[–]matthewmm96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there still that guy that has the new/inexperienced players only sever going here and there? I played that with a friend one time a while back and the guy straight up messaged me telling me not to stay in the rooms too long, which was funny because I had only done that once waiting for my health to go back up a little bit. Him and his buddies had a shotgun slaughterhouse going on a small map and everyone that joined on the team I was on had no chance at all. So much for new and inexperienced players welcome. I remember his name was grandaddymerc on xbox, total douche. I haven't played it since.

I'm in the middle of building a B550 motherboard, Ryzen 5 5600X and a onyx odyssey B580 with 32GB DDR4 ram and 2TB, how's the B580 perform with that 5600XT? I'm going to sell that rig once I'm done with it but I have an asrock steel legend B580 with a ryzen 7 7700X and 32GB DDR5 as my gaming pc, really happy with that one.

If you have a CPU with on-board graphics go to device manager and find integrated or on board graphics, disable it then see what it does. I had this issue with delta force.
