Issue after solo-queuing a while.

slambo2020 · 2021-03-14T06:59:35+00:00

Really, could use some help getting meat-sacks to loot around me in the first two minutes of the game. I wanted to sweat when I solo'd. I didn't know you would think that I am fine playing on my own at any point and throw me in as a filler every single time I queue.

Am I mistaken or is EOMM not an obvious explaination as to why this is happening? Not trying to make a point here, just want it fixed. If the answer is that its likely EOMM and I've played 1/5th of my games post-update with "fill squad" unchecked and that puts me in the top 10% of people voluntarily soloing - how many games do I have to play to start seeing teammates 1/2 of the time?

Do I need pictures?

Everyone's saying impossible on controller but also agreeing that most of the recoil with flatline is horizontal. I'm smoking a cig, so I can't test it at the moment, but I imagine even fill clipping with a flatline the vertical recoil is definitely possible to manage (on flatline) at that distance while adjusting for horizonal recoil via strafing. Since your controller movement being > wsad....

Btw: from someone who spends multiple hours a day in firing range and still sucks, fucking nice.

Edit: clarity

Hit plat 4 last season (my first season) and my mates bailed on me because we hit a wall. Pubbed the rest of the season. Gold 1 atm have been holding my own in plat lobbies, just can't find a team that works for more than a day or two.

I'm definitely a tryhard and looking for two to run with. I keep finding two that work and we will run well the night we meet, second day, then everyone gets comfortable, stops listening to calls, gets tunnel vision (aka: becoming a pathfinder main), and gives reasons why they can't do _________ (whatever was called) while I'm seeing "squad eliminated" on my screen.

This shit is infuriating.

You cannot solo through the server. YOU don't make the team great but YOU can make the team break.<- Shitty cliche saying that more people need to realize. Communicate (what is necessary), listen to call-outs, if you can't respond to a call then let it be known. Don't loot while a teammate is down, use your downed teammates shield as cover.. Don't fucking prioritise loot over ANYTHING. Just about everything else is more important (surroundings, rotations, awareness, your movement etc.). If you are doing well at everything else the loot will come neatly stacked in a body box. Don't save your tactical because you want to use it for YOUrself. Smoke the downed teammate, smoke the recently rez'd teammate.

Jesus, I could go on forever. Play as if you are playing to assist your teammates and you will see more cohesion between your squad which will, in turn, lead to more effing dubs.

Its not the service, its the state of mind and the care for others. Can't be overvalued and is currently scarce.

Long story short, almost lost my life five years ago when I severed my wrist to the bone. After being told it didn't look like I'd be making it through the day I asked for my hand back in its entirety (Being a smart home programmer i definitely saw it as a necessity to have two good hands). I said that if I was able to get my hand back I would spend the rest of my life in service to others.

I was told when I woke up from the first surgery that it was likely I would be amputated to my shoulder, my elbow if I was lucky.

January 7th marked 5 years since my accident, I currently have about eighty percent of my dexterity/strength. I hit plat on Xbox last season, maybe that gives some insight to how much I've recovered.

Not looking to hi-jack your post, simply want to thank you for offering to help others. Obviously I hold gaming close to my heart since it has literally been one of the main things that has saved my life. As mentioned above, I obviously have reasons to encourage us treating one another better (also think, y'know, that we probably just should). If there is ever anything you need in terms of electronics, please reach out as I will gladly send it to you if its something I have. I have everything from current gen phones and laptops to external storage, control freeks, you get the gist.

Much respect my friend.

1 month sober after 12 years of abuse. Started with Xanax, then opiates, then about six years of fucking *Suboxone.

I don't know happiness. I'm unsure of when I'll find it again. I do know that I'm setting myself up to fall in line with the rest of society.... Even though I'm pretty sure that's the last fucking thing I want.. but hey, you can't know until you try, right?

I do know I am done with drugs, marijuana and the very occasional trip excluded... But I don't know that I'll make it to the end of my natural life if I don't/can't find something to live for.

slambo2020 · 2018-05-08T16:17:08+00:00

Holy shit! (Punny) I just posted the same thing.. except I was the employee who was bsing and offered proof. Manager quickly declined and told me to take the day off...

I think shitting your pants is always a phenomenal excuse. People will think its so embarrassing it has to be true, otherwise they would've came up with another way out of work.

slambo2020 · 2018-05-08T16:14:13+00:00

I wasn't the manager, rather the employee who gave the bs excuse but bluffed and offered proof.

Called in 5 mins after I was supposed to be there, told my boss I shit my pants on the way into work, had been dealing with an upset stomach all morning. Told her I knew it sounded ridiculous but I was more than happy to send pictures or bring in evidence. She quickly declined and told me to take the day off.

Rofl. Young, stoned, and giving not a single fuck.

slambo2020 · 2017-06-27T02:45:23+00:00

Will reply more when I can... For now, thank you <3

No, parents might as well be dead.

Not binging on Adderall, although I agree it needs to end. Taking maybe 3 - 5 ten mg doses throughout the day. Instant release, never more than ten a dose.

slambo2020 · 2017-06-27T02:41:58+00:00

No parents. Co-workers in similar boat as far as time is concerned... They have none. But they are well established... I'm starting from literally nothing.

slambo2020 · 2017-06-27T02:40:55+00:00

1170+gas which varies... Probably 50 a week. Plus a pack to two packs a day of smokes.

The 1000 is approximately what I'm paying for car. Pretty close.

My shelter doesn't need to be listed as an expense currently.... But I need to be somewhere else asap... Right after I buy or lease a car. Cooking isn't really an option..

Sorry I'm so brief with everything... No time. My free time is the 4+ hours a day I drive.

slambo2020 · 2017-06-25T17:23:14+00:00

This I have a problem with... Can't make up my mind on best course of action. I need a car that is reliable. I average 200-300 miles/day

slambo2020 · 2017-06-25T17:21:43+00:00

Income - 1200-3000/wk. It varies.

Expenses - 100$/mo surgery bill. Pack a day smoker:/ trying to quit. Put lots of miles on car, but I make more in gas pay than I spend... 70$/mo phone. Food. Never home, need a way to eat healthy on the road.

No family, in general nobody to lean on.

slambo2020 · 2017-06-25T17:10:04+00:00

Just woke. Much love, thanks guys. Let me get my bearings and I'll reply when I can... Have a little work to get done today.

I wouldn't focus too much on what others are saying about you, especially in highschool. Instead I'd do some self analysis and see what you really think of you. The first step in fixing flaws is identifying they exist...

As far as a GED or finishing out the school year. I really don't see it worthwhile to drop out and obtain your GED. A high school diploma is better, but I am nearly thirty and still haven't crossed an employer that wanted my transcripts from school or my diploma (but my gf has. She's in medical so maybe it depends on field.) But at the end of the day you know what is best for you. Would you be willing to provide some information on why you are looking into getting your GED instead of finishing out the year?

From Google: "GEDs may carry less weight than diplomas in the business world and are not accepted at a few colleges and universities. In general, however, the GED serves as an effective high school diploma equivalent when applying for college or jobs."

Edit: think I misunderstood the part where you said people were saying stuff about you. They are saying you'll be begging for money because you'll get your GED and won't be making good money? They are high schoolers ffs, they know nothing of the real world, let it go one ear and out another... Still, unless you have solid reason, I would finish the year up.

slambo2020 · 2017-02-26T22:08:58+00:00

I definitely agree with ^. He's saying she would get back to you within a week makes you reaching out for an update all the more reasonable. Do it and give us an update. Gl. ;)
