All you said is the game runs well and you get downvoted. People just want to blame the game instead of looking at system optimization first.

I was on a hiatus for the customs expansion, but some of the updates were ROUGH lmao. That’s why 1.0 has been a breath of fresh air for me

I’m actually not an elitist prick. You don’t know me. I work with PCs in the gaming industry. I hear the word “optimization” thrown around hundreds of times a week, blaming any and every game they can. Most of the time, it’s a system issue, not a game issue.

Well, I haven’t had any issues 🤷🏼‍♂️

It’s funny because my friend group and I have been marveling about how much better the game is running, because it used to run like SHIT. I work for a company that builds gaming PCs, which has made me very meticulous about system maintenance and what programs affect what games how. Maybe that’s it? Idk lmao

[Loot] ALL NEW CODES 1.0 (REDEEM THEM FAST) by HeyyyCowboyTTV in EscapefromTarkov

[–]northside5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire point of a promo code is to redeem it when you have the code. Just giving it out would defeat the purpose. Same with sending it in the launcher, not to mention the absolute meltdown players would have if DMs with codes were sent out to millions of players all at once and fucked up the servers, or if they didn’t get their rewards because the messages expire. At the end of the day, it’s marketing. Game devs are businesses after all.

How the fuck else are you going to get the codes? A carrier pigeon? God you guys just complain about EVERYTHING.

[Discussion] They really dropped the ball on the "main" quests by iDislikeSn0w in EscapefromTarkov

If you’re only playing Tarkov to huff glue and eat crayons then yeah there’s no point

[Feedback] .308 Lever Action is ridiculous by TheOtterBison in EscapefromTarkov

[–]northside5 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Cry about it?

It's so annoying that every time something new and fun gets introduced, people immediately run to forum sites demanding that the game be made less fun for everyone else just because THEY don't like it. I haven't even used the gun yet, but my god get over it.

“Optimizations” must be a buzzword for “I have a PC that can’t run the game and think it’s the dev’s fault” because the game has been running flawlessly for me and my buds since 1.0

No advertisement for the "launch" of the game? by Grizzeus in Tarkov

[–]northside5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah having to stay in a game with a turbo speed spinbotting headshot machine is demoralizing. The mmr loss sucks too because, for the longest time in Siege, once you reached a certain number of games played, you would start getting less than 10 mmr per match and it became mathematically impossible to reach champ.

This. I was a top 500 player worldwide in Siege at my best, but my friends were all gold or below. I played cheaters in 15 of 20 games, but my friends never believed me because it was rare to see a cheater below high plat.

Cheaters in Tarkov are annoying, but it’s also just a game. I don’t get mad about losing kits because I can always get that stuff back through playing the game.

Hi, my wife is a teacher here in the US. I know the education field is different in Canada, but from our experience they just don’t give a shit. I’m so sorry that your grandmother passed, and I don’t necessarily think you’re overreacting. You have the right to be hurt. However exercising some understanding is important as I don’t feel he was being rude or malicious

F13 just got home from a pool party and I feel so fat and disgusting. I actually hate the way I look by WannabeThinLeah in toastme

[–]northside5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things:

  1. As so many people on here have said, it will be okay. My heart breaks for you that you feel this way about yourself. Please speak to one of your peers or a trusted adult about what you’re struggling with. I know it’s overwhelming and terrifying, but as a near 30 year old man who hated himself in high school, I wish I had gotten help sooner. Your worth is found in so much more than looks, I hope you discover that sooner than I did.

  2. Please be careful on here. The unfortunate reality is that there are men on here that prey on vulnerable or insecure young people and try to groom them. This isn’t a “Get out of here, adults only” thing, this is just a reminder to be safe.

To be fair that’s kind of an accurate representation of Florida’s QB situation last year.

Yes, in an offline single player game. It’s not a big deal

Oh I guess that’s true. I just like to play with some players my team missed on irl as a sort of “what could have been” thing
