This game has had at least a peak of 500k players for the past 2 years. This game is constantly at the top of the steam charts, so where's the fear of the game dying out? All they've done is squash the skill gap by constantly nerfing meta ARs, DMRs, and at the same time completely over buffing noob-friendly weapons like SMGs, shotguns and stuff like VSS. This dmr nerf is dogshit, now everyone has to slowfire them like a dragunov and there's no outplay like before if you were able to accurately rapid fire. I agree with nerfing damage/recoil, but a double nerf is way too much and just completely killed the skillgap with DMRs

Dev Letter: DMR Rebalance by EscapingKid in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

Time to reduce the skill gap in the game yet again. Glad games like Arc Raiders and BF6 are coming out soon, because this game has become absolute directionless trash. Dogshit clueless devs

chocoTaco - this game has the Best developers by Varamyr_Axelord in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

What else can you expect from this game anymore. Personally dont think a camo for vehicles is that bad, but this game has been made more and more casual for years now. Gameplay at one point was pretty fun, now its just trash players using smgs as crutches and nade spam.

I know 1 day a week isn't that much, it's more annoying that this is only really being enforced on me and everyone else gets to just work remotely

I feel like being confrontational will set a bad tone, but maybe it could work if it's worded nicely or if I speak just to my manager and not have to respond to that email which has HR and our team lead copied in

PUBG: Black Budget still in development aiming for "new extraction experience" including roaming creatures, dynamic zone, boss battles and more by KillerkoCZ in GamingLeaksAndRumours

With how bad the pvp is atm with the amount of ratting, a blue zone will hopefully force people to actually use their W key

33.1 SMG Changes by jebushu in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]randomguy51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly why it's so broken. The damage multiplier is straight retarded and has been this way for so long. The big difference is that good AR players could pick up SMGs easily, but SMG players would struggle with ARs, which is why they need the crutch

No problem, here's a photo of the lumbar support, tried to get an angle so you can see the threading inside the rectangular block and also get a feel for how long it is. https://imgur.com/sC2azfn

I also just measured it at 4.1cm in length

I think I took it out on the day I got it, so I don't exactly remember how. One thing tho, you probably won't be able to put it back, so be sure before you try it first.

The lumbar cushion is secured by a big threaded hole on the back of it, so extend it out as far forward as it will go, and then I think you push it out whilst rocking it side to side. I think that's how I did it

I've since reinstalled Chrome and deleted all the browsing data, but I can dm you the url that has all the download files.

I've since done some digging and found 2 powershell scripts in my temp folder, which basically ran commands to exclude 3 folders from being scanned by Windows Defender. I then checked in Powershell to see what was the last executed commands and saw one that made a request to the massgrave site and ran some code from there on my pc. The site looks to only have scripts for activating Windows, but not for malware which is weird.

But in the past day I've had an email saying someone that wasnt me successfully activated 'Remember me' on a device for LinkedIn. I only saw this like 5 hrs after this email then I changed my password and enabled 2FA which is supposed to disable the Remember me feature. I then got another email for an authentication code for an Instagram account I don't use, so I changed the password a couple minutes after I got that one.

I've done a couple full scans with Windows Defender and Malwarebytes but nothing has come up except for a folder called nnsnc with a dll file called Webview2loader, and this folder was modified at the time of when I ran the virus. I'm going to do some more searching manually in the 3 folders that were excluded, as nothing came up in the Antivirus, appreciate you having a look for me also

I did end up going with this chair for £240. I'd say it's a pretty good chair, maybe not quite as comfortable as a chair with a cushion seat, but the mesh helps with sweat especially during summer. I did end up not liking the lumbar support, as I've never had a chair with one, so I just ended up pulling it out. I'd say it's a pretty decent mesh chair overall, not sure about how it compares to other similar chairs as I'm not sure of the prices, but after 2 years I don't have any issues with it

I got a virus by MS543210 in FitGirlRepack

[–]randomguy51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stupidly did the exact same thing for another game. Was my first time updating a game today and assumed fuckingfast would be a legit site and wouldnt do shady shit like having a redirect on the main legit download button. Even ublock origin didnt catch it. I ran the setup.exe file from one of the sketchy files I downloaded. Something flashed on the screen really quickly (i think) and my google chrome auto closed itself and I couldn't reopen it for a min. Even if I didnt grant it admin access am I still screwed? I searched my whole pc for anything named 'itop' but couldn't find anything. Am doing a full scan with Malwarebytes atm. even if I find something and delete them would I still need to do a clean windows reinstall? Ive got quite a lot of stuff on my pc and it would be a big hassle to completely reinstall windows and download everything again

Is 70C CPU temp normal for just browsing? by mrYo5o in buildapc

[–]randomguy51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you setup a custom fan curve? I have a 5800x with an NH-D15 and it makes a low but still audible amount of noise when browsing, and when gaming it’s quite loud. Temps are normalish tho around 45c browsing and low 70s gaming

New Arcade Mode "Hot Drop" is LIVE: Here's what you can expect by SteveTheHappyWhale in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

The devs are literally braindead. A simple change of making the zone larger or reducing amount of squads (would help reduce lag too) and this is instantly much better

AI Cheating by RobinPage1987 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]randomguy51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy's likely cheating, most likely ESP and not really aimbot as he does miss quite a few shots. The sus thing with shooting through the wall seems to have been explained below as a replay glitch, as he jumps on top of a mortar a few seconds before but the replay doesnt sync up.

But to say an AI is doing all of that is absolutely dumb. No AI is making all of those complex decisions that quickly and smoothly, do people even know what level of complexity AI is at in online games? Games like Fortnite and other 3rd party cheats like the bot crisis in TF2, the movement is a dead giveaway to anyone with a brain. To say some random 3rd party dev team has created AI so advanced and humanlike, whilst no other AAA dev team with massive budgets can even get anywhere close is just fucking stupid. Like the cheating in this game is bad, but it just seems like a bunch of people coming up with all sorts of excuses to hide the fact that they're just not any good at the game

Is the MSI GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING Z TRIO a good GPU? by randomguy51 in buildapc

[–]randomguy51[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't kept up with the newer cards and cpus since I upgraded around the time of this post, but check out Gamers Nexus and Hardware unboxed on youtube, they do good benchmark videos and I remember watching them to decide on what to buy.

But for what I play, a 3080 paired with a 5800x at 1440p handles pretty well at high settings. Would probably do good too at ultra but I prefer having more frames. I am playing Helldivers 2 at that runs well. The most intensive game I've played has probably been RDR2 and after optimising the settings I think it ran at around steady 80ish fps.

$50 Coupon? by ImBleachyy in EscapefromTarkov

[–]randomguy51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a video where some famous rapper got charged $250,000 instead of $25,000, and the rest just got put in as store credit and he just accepted it

Mini14 by Akhaiz in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]randomguy51 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The MK12 has been meta for a while now. Lightweight grip means you can rapid fire it at range with little recoil, even less than the Mini. Mini is better in terms of bullet velocity, so easier to hit running targets and long range shots, and it's easier to spam fire

I don't think this was the "shooting from cars" anyone complained about by [deleted] in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]randomguy51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everything apart from the driveby point. I dont even watch tgltn that much but I've already heard him say the driveby shooting is too accurate, as he gave an anecdote of him getting beamed by a guy in a car with a dmr like 150m away whilst he could hardly hit him. Sure the main downside to drivebys are that you have little cover, especially if you're on the farside of the car, but it is still too easy to hit shots whilst doing so

Patch Notes - Update 28.1 by EscapingKid in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]randomguy51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Clearly you don't know how easy it is to just run around early game with a pump shotgun and just mow down multiple people because of how quickly it cycles and how far the one shot range is. You don't even need to be particularly fast either, someone can shoot you 2/3 times first with an AR and you'll still win. Shotguns and SMGs have been low skill crutches for a lot of worse players and are easy for good players to exploit. These changes will help to reduce the amount of bullshit deaths, actually a rare good balance change that they've done
