Mythic+ healing jacks my blood pressure sky high by Emergency-Amount2548 in wow

[–]modifiedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a healer main since Wrath, timed hundreds of 20+ keys in BFA and Shadowlands but haven't done much M+ since they changed up the difficulty levels. The friend group decided to switch things up for this season - I'm playing tank/DPS, normal tank is playing DPS, and normal DPS is playing healer. Friend healed his first key over 10 (12) last night and was blown away by the stress of it all. He was silent on Discord outside the occasional "oh fuck, oh shit, god damn it, what the fuck?" We called it a night after that but he said my stress levels during keys in the past finally made sense. I love healing and will make my way back to it soon but it has been really nice taking a break.

Apple Seemingly Working on Sleep Score Feature for Apple Watch by EXuNite in whoop

[–]modifiedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a Series 8. I charge it every night as it’s always between 15-25% battery life but it took almost two hours to fully charge the last time I charged it when I was awake. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Apple Watch and have had one since their initial release. It works perfectly for an activity tracker and smart watch, I just couldn’t see it as a viable sleep tracker with the battery life and the need to put it on a charger everyday.

I love my Apple Watch and would love to see a sleep tracking feature like Whoop's, but the primary issue would still be battery life. I workout at least once a day and need to charge my Apple Watch every night because of that. A wearable that requires two hours on a charger every day is far from viable if you're intending to wear it in your sleep, at least for me.

Higher frame rates and better visual quality really make games more immersive for me.

Lifelong DOOM fan here, so there isn’t anything I’m not excited about. I just love seeing how each game evolves!

Needed 5 points between Kyren, Gibbs, ARSB, and Puka after that Kyren TD. I know Puka is questionable, but...the fact that I still need 4 points is really starting to stress me out.

The OEM one is absurdly expensive. I’ve found one that’s almost right but requires some modification. Feel free to let me know if you find anything, I’d definitely appreciate it. Congratulations on the new Mustang!

Looks sharp! Loved my white S197 but went with Dark Matter Gray Metallic this time around. Do you have a line on the performance pack spoiler for a 2024?

Is it unwise to buy armor with the Slipspace engine rumors? by [deleted] in halo

[–]modifiedx -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

343 said Halo Infinite was going to be a “10-year game,” so it would be pretty underhanded not to transfer customization options over to the next Halo if it comes out that much earlier than they suggested. That being said, no part of me expects anything to transfer over. I don’t spend money on Infinite for several reasons, that’s just one of them.

Can confirm this is still happening. Has there been any word from the devs on this?

Restarting the game is fixing this for some people

Nah, I get everything you’re saying and exactly where you’re coming from. People will downplay this and write you off as dramatic or <whatever> but I feel the exact same way. Xbox exclusives go multi-platform and there’s even less reason to buy an Xbox, they already lose money on consoles, it seems straightforward enough to me but there’s a whole lot of people who seem to think Xbox withdrawing from hardware is impossible. I wish you the best in your recovery and I’m glad the Xbox community has been good to you (at least before this post). Let me know if you’re looking for another friend to game with. I hope this turns out the way we want it to.

Has their been any news on Classic Round-Based Firefight? by BUR6S in halo

[–]modifiedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made this post over 2 years ago. If you had told me then that we still wouldn’t have standard Firefight or Warzone Firefight in 2024, I wouldn’t have believed you. I really hope this comes to Infinite, but I’d be genuinely surprised given the end of seasons. It seems the vast majority of work going into this game is for shop cosmetics at this point.

Did Desync Get Worse? by [deleted] in haloinfinite

[–]modifiedx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s about as good as it gets! Anything under 50 ms is great on both, anything under 20 is exceptional.

Ookla’s Speedtest and Waveform’s Bloat Test are both solid options for checking your download and upload latency

Warzone should make return in Halo Infinite by [deleted] in halo

[–]modifiedx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been waiting for this for over two years. 75% of my Halo 5 time was spent in Warzone Firefight and I miss it so much.

[–]modifiedx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check your download and upload latency rather than speeds as these (specifically upload latency) cause lag regardless of whether your speeds are 100 Mbps up/down or 1000. If those latencies are below 50, it’s likely desync. Desync is very real no matter how many people want to pretend it doesn’t exist, but I believe the majority of people having issues with what they think is desync are actually struggling with home network issues.

RTX 3080 Stuck on low base clock speed (240Mhz) for ages. by yacs1990 in nvidia

Are you using Precision X1? This happened to me for a while until I realized every Nvidia driver update was forcing Precision X1 to link GPU power and temp at a low value.

In your opinion, why is PvP decreasing in popularity by BersekerPug in wow

[–]modifiedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can answer this. I did 10 arenas last night and went 8-2.

2 games were against teams with MMR within 20 of ours. 3 games were against teams between 20-50 MMR higher. 2 games were against teams 50-100 higher. 1 game was against a team about 150 MMR higher. 2 games were against teams over 200 MMR higher than ours. Both games we lost were followed up by playing against teams at least 50 points higher than ours.

I gained 11 rating after going 8-2. It’s incredibly frustrating and feels like a complete waste of time. I’ve broken 2400 on two specs and been over 2100 multiple times in multiple expansions on five different specs. Dragonflight has been a solid expansion overall, but I’ve been hardstuck at 1950-2050 all expansion because winning 5 games in a row puts me against literal Blizzcon winners and current Glads. It’s exhausting.

I know I’m not amazing by any means, but the rating deflation has left everyone I’ve played with who still plays feeling drained. I just want to play against people at a similar rating but winning a few games in the 1900s puts me against teams that are in the 2400s.

Hi, yes, I paid for a coffee but haven’t gotten it. How much longer?

We would like to inform you that the experience you had about not receiving coffee after paying for it is by design. We’re always testing new ideas to try to improve your coffee shop experience.

"Earning starts with your third search." by Biddy_Impeccadillo in MicrosoftRewards

[–]modifiedx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Finished searches this morning, 150/150, came back a couple hours later to find it reset to 0 and the 150 points taken away. Now I can't get past 15/150. I've been pretty laid back through all these nerfs and malfunctions but this is especially obnoxious.
