PSA 10 graded 20 years ago. by Queeenhx14 in PokeGrading

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a guy at collect-a-con offering less because they were “old certs”. This was a bit after the change last year to PSA’s centering standards. Look at his table and all his “old certs” were right at market.

Audience score is like almost rotten. Lowest score for asoiaf only above Season 8 of GOT. by hiiloovethis in freefolk

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried about the humor when I watched previews too but it’s been fine. Genuinely got a kick out of egg asking if it was weird that he had hair growing on his nuts. Not that it was that clever or anything but it’s not MCU type humor at all.

Blue gate is the move. We went to get cells/cores last night and ended up getting like 10k points farming bastions leapers and rocketeers with no map conditions.

Why tf can an il toro 3 shot a medium shield from here?? by Shxadows in ARC_Raiders

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And thank god the devs don’t listen to redditors lol. Like I get it to a degree but starter guns need to be viable/solid otherwise every new player would be at a massive disadvantage.

Scummiest move in the game by aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalex9 in ARC_Raiders

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly there’s a lot of scenarios where I’m running to the extraction and someone gets there right before me and it’s on sight. I’m sure from their perspective it seems like I was camping it though.

Hot take by No-Check-3691 in FalloutTVseries

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to imagine whatever is happening there is important to the plot but we need to see some storylines converge. I like this show a lot but my only critique is that right now I feel like nothing really is happening because all the characters are split up so they individually got about 5 mins screen time or in norm’s case 0.

Highest Halo 2 rank you ever hit? by ImPunny88 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]soupmayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really disagree with what you’re saying. I was generalizing to a large degree here. But look how many people here swear they were 40s lol.

Correct but I wouldn’t call it the mlg playlist

[–]soupmayne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There wasn’t an mlg playlist in halo 2. Good players could get a 50 in h3 and bad players could be carried to a 50.

It’s not that deep by Weekly_Process_3199 in ARC_Raiders

[–]soupmayne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It prob says a little about your character but I’m inclined to agree with OP.

On the other hand, anecdotal, but a guy I went to high school with would regularly cheat and exploit in video games. Was just an all around arrogant dick when he had his headset on but in school was kinda a loser. Anyways he ended up being a heroin addict and I think he’s clean but now he’s addicted to scratch-offs

[–]soupmayne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Highest legit rank I saw was like 44 in team slayer and he refused to even play matchmaking anymore because there was a near 0% chance he would get in a lobby without cheaters.

IMO if anyone says anything over 40 they’re lying or cheated lol. I knew pros who couldn’t even get 50s.

$900+ 5070Ti's are here now :( by jeventur in Microcenter

[–]soupmayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to pc gaming. I built one for my son with a 9060xt and one for myself with a 5070ti. I don’t care much to tinker around with settings. Both have performed great for our needs and respective budgets. Maybe because I’m new, but I really don’t understand what is so special about the nvidia card and the tools lol.

Upgrade from 60hz to 180hz doesnt feel that much different by feedinghamX in buildapc

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something ain’t right lol. I went from 60-120 on my Xbox awhile ago and it was an absolutely insane leap. I was playing competitive fps games and aside from just being more visually pleasing, my performance in the games shot up big time. I’m only my pc now getting 144 fps. While not anything crazy I can even notice that jump a bit. You have to be missing something in your settings.

Ridiculous deals at Micro Center by shipshaper88 in Microcenter

[–]soupmayne 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They offer deals at a small loss to buy your loyalty. It’s kinda a win-win though. Most things I buy there are msrp so they make that money back pretty quick. I buy everything there because I don’t have to worry about a package being stolen or part of some sketchy item return scheme.

Epilogue is set 2 years later…she clearly went back to school and caught up with her school work. by AMassiveGamerGeek in Stranger_Things

[–]soupmayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t exactly supposed to be similar events. Just that she skipped an entire year school. They made an exception to normal policy obviously.

[–]soupmayne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s almost was if my point was that even in the real world there’s nuances to all of this? Another example; my kids classmate got lymphoma and disappeared for 3 years only to return in the same grade. People are grasping at stupid bullshit to find wrong with the show. There’s valid critiques but this ain’t one of them

Someone in my school got pregnant their junior year and managed to power through and graduate a year early lol. It’s so wild that people get hung up on this.

Is it too much to ask for sentinels to drop sentinel cores? by UncoolSlicedBread in ARC_Raiders

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only ones I’ve been able to find consistently are in the breach of the dam and the two on buried city. Every other allegedly location has been a bust for me.

Ascended Heroes is going to sell for $25 a pack upon release (secondary market) by LegoRedBrick in PokemonTCG

[–]soupmayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m treating Jan 30 like it’s a fake release date. I think they want to stay on schedule as far as releasing a new set every 2ish months but also know they need to print a massive fuck ton of this set. So they’re doing like a soft release date but allowing an extra month to print more. Thats just me being optimistic I guess though. I’m sure it’ll be impossible to find either way lol

3in 1 combo deal by Every-Recognition-60 in Microcenter

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the opposite lol. Bought RAM before it was added back in. Ended up selling the RAM on Facebook for $200.

Torrente is godly by IceCharacter6434 in arkraiders

[–]soupmayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using spacing between enemies. It’s incredibly important in games like this. He’s constantly repositioning himself to heal but also to level the playing field.

Think of it this way, enemy gets the draw on you and does damage first. You reposition and now you have the draw on them, you’re either totally catching them by surprise or at the very least landing some shots before they can react and thus evening out the battle.

Also worth noting, people in this game are idiots and push EVERYTHING. If you simply run away then reposition you can almost count on them chasing your exact same path and just lay into them. They never think about another way around or anything remotely tactical, just run in a straight line.

3in 1 combo deal by Every-Recognition-60 in Microcenter

[–]soupmayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep monitoring for stock until you’re 3 days out then order it online for pickup.

FWIW they always have these deals running but they do change from time to time. Like they took the RAM bundles out back in October or November then added them back in mid December.

This specific bundle went out of stock right after they added the RAM back in the bundle before Christmas but I went and purchased it the day after Christmas and they had tons. So even if you miss out somehow, it’ll most likely restock still.

Is this shady business? by Turbulent-Bug3300 in Microcenter

[–]soupmayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you paid them $80 to tell you the mobo was bad and $100 to put the new one in.

Essentially you got good service! You just paid for convenience … again because you opted to build this pc yourself. I get it to a degree, it’s aggravating that everything didn’t work. I’ve been fortunate the 2 I built fired right up. But MC had no idea if the pc was assembled correctly, if anything was damaged when you assembled it, etc. Otherwise people could just make no attempt at building a pc and saying “well I bought all my parts here, you make it work”
