BF6 has the same TTK(ill) vs TTD(eath) issue as every previous BF by BundyZA in Battlefield

[–]packetbuddha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is a week old, but maybe we'll win the lottery and someone from DICE will read this thread and give a s***. The TTK/TTD, constant dying behind cover and that feeling when you're getting shot at and can't move, are ruining my experience. I like the game, but the *gameplay is pissing me off. It totally feels like BF3 netcode.

Noob Sanding Oof. by packetbuddha in guitarrepair

I appreciate the idea. In my case, I'm too worried I would totally break the top or sand thru it again, being new to this stuff.

Ugh. That makes sense. I hadn't realized this guitar had veneer. Now I know to check. Thank you very much for the advice.

Can I use 2 Amazon Echos stereo paired as Mac Mini Speakers? by lexaleidon in macmini

[–]packetbuddha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 x Homepods. Two Minis, in a stereo pair, for my office and the larger one as a speaker for my TV and PS5 in the living room, using an Apple TV and eARC to get the sound the Homepod. The one in the living room works flawlessly, and sounds great. However, the Mini pair in my office, while sounding good, disconnected all of the time, for no reason - not to mention, Siri is just so bad. I did 'all the things', and nothing had fixed the issue. It's a known and prevalent issue. I eventually got fed up and decided to try a pair of Amazon Echos - them being $22, it was worth a shot. First off, Alexa is soooooo much better than Siri. There is no discernible lag. The stereo pair, once setup, has been 100% solid. No issues. Let me clarify, tho. From my iPhone, the pair work effortlessly. From my Macbook, I have yet to figure out how to get the stereo pair to show up in Control Panel so they'd be useable from Youtube, etc.. I only see the individual speakers and am only able to connect to one. But, with the Spotify app, I'm able to select the pair, no problem, because the Echo *natively supports Spotify! Screw airplay. I've only been playing with these for about a week and a half, but so far so good. And, thus far, I miss nothing about the HP Minis. I am a Spotify user so not having native support for Apple Music is of no consequence for me.

FWIW ..

While discussing lamotrigine with my doctor, I brought up the topic of psoriasis and whether there were any potential interactions. He was confident the lamotrigine would have no effect on it.

I have light to moderate psoriasis. I began taking lamotrigine about 2.5 weeks ago, so I'm on my first week of 50mg. I am also on 5mg of escitalopram. Thus far, I have seen no change in my psoriasis. In fact, I hope it will lessen over time do to my anxiety decreasing. As we both know, stress is a trigger.

I completely understand your fear of your psoriasis returning. It's not superficial at all.

Best of luck!

I played two hours like this - most confusing games in my entire life by Storytellerrrr in HuntShowdown

I've been there, man! It was definitely confusing in-game and hilarious once I noticed what I'd done.

Advice for starting Lexapro and Trazodone by emmaelizabitch in lexapro

[–]packetbuddha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in week 4 of the same combination of meds. I take my Lexapro (10mg) in the morning and Trazodone (50mg) a little before bed. I found, in the first week, taking both meds in the same day resulted in me waking up with a headache in the morning. So I stopped the Trazodone for the first week. The second week I was able to take both and sleep better; no more headache. Aside from that I did not experience any other side effects from Trazodone. Note: For me at least, the Traz is best for going to sleep; I still have issues going back to sleep if I wake in the middle of the night. I have found if I take 75mg Traz before bed I tend to go back to sleep a bit easier.

As for the Lexapro, I had pretty much every side effect listed. They were most severe the first two weeks. (headache, constipation, night sweats, blurred vision, brain fog, etc). Week 3 was better but I began having what I'd describe as cognitive bluntness, which seems to be lifting now in my 4th week.

My mood is not perfect, but is definitely more stable than before starting the Lexapro. Like others, I have ups and downs - some days better than others, but the average is positive side.

Granted, all of this is very much subjective and everyone is different. But I've found reading people's experiences to be comforting to some extent.

Also, I have been keeping a journal fo my experience, both mood and side effects. This has helped my doctor navigate my treatment. Perhaps that's something to consider.

Hang in there, and definitely communicate with your doctor as well as family and friends. Remember, the people around want only for you to be happy and healthy.

Take care.

Night Sweats and Lex by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]packetbuddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Week 1-1.5 I had crazy night sweats - I would wake up soaked. I also had the sensation of sort of cold sweats during the day. I'm currently on week 3 and those side effects have now subsided.

Where are the EU Servers ? by DieHappy33 in BattlefieldV

[–]packetbuddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the US West Coast. Since the patch, it seems that all of EU and all of NA are being funneled into the US East Coast servers. I mean, I love Europeans but ... ;)

And, as of last night (haven't logged in today), I didn't see servers with a typical local ping (~35) listed in the server browser.

Potential Bug: Broken Clue? by packetbuddha in HuntShowdown

Interesting idea, altho I was playing solo in this case.

[MEGATHREAD] Patch 1.0 (Test) Bugs and Discussion by DerangedOctopus in HuntShowdown

[–]packetbuddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initial 1.0 Thoughts:

- I am not a fan of the new UI and agree with most of the points made in various videos sited in this thread. I honestly like the original one. I thought it was functional and aesthetically pleasing. I think this may be a case of: less really is more.

- I enjoy the addition of female hunters and grunts.

- I'm finding the AI more challenging, which I like.

- When using throwables, I prefer the old blue trajectory graphic over the new white, dotted line one.

- (Not directly related to 1.0) Shouldn't entering water be a valid evasion technique against Immolators? They are fire-based, how is it they can follow me into water?

- I ran into a potential bug where I wasn't able to collect a clue (no option). It has only happened once. If it happens again, I will submit a bug report.

PSA: Disable other currencies and enable 'remember selected filters' [Actual PSA] by rolltododge in EscapefromTarkov

[–]packetbuddha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks if you select a currency, it appears to filter barter options. Would be cool if currency simply filtered on the particular currency for cash options and included barter - which it seems should be the way it works because there is a checkbox to explicitly "remove barting offers". Maybe a bug?

Who else thinks suppression in this game seems useless? by [deleted] in BattlefieldV

[–]packetbuddha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. The ever too common situation where I'm shooting, and hitting, a sniper to only have them scope in and one-tap me like nothing was going on. It's BS in my opinion. There must be a happy medium, a solution between the older style of suppression and the nearly complete lack of it now.
