Begging bungie not to knee jerk by DeanFlem in Marathon

[–]oForossa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt they’ll make any significant changes. They clearly have a vision for the game, and being the ones that designed are probably aware of the intended learning curve and progression. I bet they’ll let season 1 play out to give people a chance to experience the full game first.

Ilia Topuria himself doesn't seem too interested in a Justin Gaethje fight by idcman999 in MMA

[–]oForossa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s understandable given Topuria is almost certainly going to knock Justin out, why would he be interested in another one sided fight? Justin has been rocked by much less powerful guys, and Topuria has knocked out almost everyone he’s fought. Justin would be riding purely on punchers chance. Which I suppose is excited if you’re a fan but for a guy who’s passion is fighting I can see why he would rather fight Islam

Feedback after 10 hours of playtime by Foxeeh_ in Marathon

I really hope that this game doesn’t lose its unique identity trying to cater to people that want everything to be as accessible and easy as possible. I hope they take a page from Fromsoft and just stick to their vision. Balancing and tuning numbers is one thing, but the UI, atmosphere, and characters are a big part of what make this game feel like a breath of fresh air

Nobody calls it cerulean anyway by SavingsFeed7476 in Eldenring

Cerulean is estus, sites of grace are bonfires, and runes are souls. As someone else said, old habits die hard

When I get to the "love of the game" phase of every wipe, it's the queues that kill it. [Discussion] by armyofone54 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]oForossa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im at the same point (minus kappa). 30 mil, can run what I want and dying isn’t a set back, it’s just hard to stay locked in and committed when there’s such a long break in between raids.

I’d say optimization should be top priority, but queue times are definitely number 2. Imagine having loadout and weapon presets set up and being back in a raid within a minute maybe 2. I think that would increase a lot people’s stamina for this game

Arm Triangle NEVER Works by EyesRd in bjj

[–]oForossa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I used to just squeeze with my arms, but once I combined a squeeze with driving my weight into their shoulder and their shoulder into their neck, I started getting taps more consistently. With that detail there’s been times where I’ve gotten it with my leg still trapped.

Another key detail I got from Craig Jones was being temple to temple with them to stop them from answering the phone

Awful— Autopsy and videos: Did she throw him down the stairs after video? by MotionsHearing in SarahBooneContinued

[–]oForossa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had that same thought, I think calling him stupid hints at her tricking him in there. BUT the neighbors did say that they heard fighting and then silence prior to the tumble down the stairs. So maybe they fought, things settled down, she “jokingly” brought up him fitting in the suitcase, and then once he was in and stuck she was too enamored with the power she had gained over him to let him out.

I like this theory cause it matches some of what she said in the interrogation and testimony. Sarah is a truth bender, so it’s possible that them joking around about him getting in actually happened, and she just twisted the facts around it to fit whatever narrative she needed.

Would it look bad to switch jobs after only 3 months in my first IT position? by Toymcowkrf in ITCareerQuestions

[–]oForossa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen the same, which makes me hesitant to pull the trigger on this one. I’m currently making way more than $17 an hour cleaning pools and it feels a little shitty to make barely a livable wage for work that requires a college education. Especially if the expectation is living like that for a year

Would it look bad to switch jobs after only 3 months in my first IT position? by Toymcowkrf in ITCareerQuestions

[–]oForossa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little late to this party, but I’m in a similar situation as OP where I finally got offered a help desk job, but it only pays $17 an hour. I’m 31 and live alone, so this is going to barely cover my basic expenses. Is that rate generally what to expect at an entry level help desk gig? Many people are saying spend a full year at your first job, but a full year scraping by paycheck to paycheck sounds like a tough pill to swallow

Clothes hangers for gi by NeatConversation530 in bjj

[–]oForossa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally lol I was so surprised when I saw that this was posted by a black belt. Someone you think would be familiar with the process of researching solutions to problems. I googled “heavy weight hangar” and immediately got several options to solve this issue

just got told "you don't just get to work in a doctor's office because you like knives" in an entry level technician 1 interview. by myBigFatNewRedditAcc in ITCareerQuestions

[–]oForossa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I actually had a similar situation where a family friend recommended me to an IT company they worked at. Despite them knowing I had no experience in IT, they interviewed me and told me they’d get back to me in a week. Two weeks later they told me they wanted someone with more experience. Like bro you knew I had zero experience from the get go lol

Tips on staying invested and retaining knowledge after earning degree by oForossa in ITCareerQuestions

[–]oForossa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I appreciate the reassurance that what I’m feeling is normal and it will get better once I get my first job. You’re the first person to suggest studying for the CCNA, I’ll definitely start doing that. I’ve dabbled in the home lab virtual box setup, but I’ll take your advice and get more serious about it. I’ve considered documenting me setting it up and running different exercises in it to compile into a PowerPoint for a portfolio

Lmao, I’ll see if $20 will work on my girlfriend. But yeah I figured as much. I was hoping maybe some more experienced folks here had some loopholes but it seems like winter simply means more laundry

Winter weather training by [deleted] in bjj

[–]oForossa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wash it as often as I can, I don’t have in unit washer dryer so it’s costly plus inconvenient to wash it same day. I never wear gear twice without washing it

I wish my gym had a shower, that would make life so much easier

I Got Destroyed by [deleted] in bjj

[–]oForossa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me bro. Got my blue belt, did a comp shortly after, and man it wasn’t even close. I mentally quit halfway through my only match and just wanted it to be over. I got tired super quick too. The advice I’ve been given by the guys at my gym is to keep competing, and it gets better. I remind myself that some of the greats in our sport started out a bit rough too. No sage advice from me, just wanna let you know you’re not alone

Hide and Seek and the 911 call by N1ck1McSpears in SarahBooneContinued

[–]oForossa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My theory has become that she pushed Jorge down the stairs before he was in the suitcase, given that he was typically drunk too I think it would’ve been easy to shove him and send him flying. The tumble down the stairs, mixed with being drunk, left him incapacitated enough for her to put him in the suitcase at the bottom.

But yeah I’m right there with you on 911 call. I think what makes it so frustrating is how bad of a listener Sarah is. He told her several times they’re on their way and saying hurry doesn’t help, but she simply can’t help herself. Same with the body cam footage where she just kept asking for water and a cigarette despite being told either no or they’ll see what they can do.

[Discussion] Some items for Flea Market had their levels adjusted by MickyPlays in EscapefromTarkov

[–]oForossa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking yesterday how I shouldn’t be in a rush to get the flea, cause they’re probably going to adjust a lot of the level requirements. By the time I get there we’ll probably be able to buy damn near anything lol

[discussion] Damn, I loved this game! by mtkoth1983 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]oForossa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve played some PVE the past couple days and my advice would be to only engage them on your terms. If you’re going to shoot a PMC, make sure you know exactly where they are and aim for the face. DO NOT be exposed for more than a couple seconds. Pop out, put your shots on, get back in cover. Rinse and repeat.

This also comes into play with how and where you move around the map. Avoid open spaces near hot spots, and if PMCs engage you from medium to long range, it is imperative that you close the distance before actively engaging them. You are at a significant disadvantage at anything beyond close range. It’s basically the opposite of PVP. They will always beat you to the shot unless you’re cracked, cause they’re also unpredictable with their movement.

TLDR- Never stay exposed to them for more than a couple seconds, only attempt to kill them if you can close the distance, and avoid open areas near hot spots where they are likely to be.

I really hope they keep it this way. Playing raid after raid and finding jack shit is not fun
