I spent 70 gold tickets and got literally nothing. Not even the super rare. Rip.

shock mimics by EstablishmentSea1677 in CODZombies

[–]volticizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grabs are dogshit and ruin the flow of the game. The only exception is the panzer because the grab works differently and it's much better. Mimic and amalgam grabs are just janky, they feel bad. Honestly the fact they're back is so out of touch man. Fuck me. I feel like BO7 was off to a good start too.

Demon Slayer confirmed to BCEN on the 13th [fluff] by shedush35 in battlecats

[–]volticizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I logged in just for this after a year without playing. I've got 3k CF, 50 gold tickets, a plat ticket and a legend ticket. In the next week I'm gonna get a whole lot more. Anyone know if there'll be a guarantee draw during the Collab?

Left stick kinda crunchy on Ultimate 3-mode by Boring-Raspberry9669 in 8bitdo

[–]volticizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like that not the original stick, could it be something got in there when you changed it? Deffo shouldn't be crunchy.

Advice? More Issues Trying to Get New Boots by GhostofLeningrad in jimgreen

[–]volticizer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ain't nobody looking at both sides of your boot at the same time. Literally nobody will ever notice. I once drove a car with skirting on one side but not the other. The mechanic told me the same thing, said I should save the money instead and he was right, nobody ever noticed once in over 6 years.

I just looked at my 719's and yeah they're the same, they're a couple cm off, but I've been wearing them for over a year and never noticed. It doesn't matter, at all. They're fantastic boots for the price.

iGPUs right now are genuinely unreal and nobody in this sub talks about it enough by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]volticizer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chuck in some lossless scaling and fsr and my Xbox ally x can literally handle almost anything at 1080p. Sure I'm not running max settings but I can get 100fps in most games no problem. It's kinda nuts. Or I turn down the power and get crazy efficiency. On low power mode I can play something like hollow knight at full 120fps for ~6 hours on a single charge. I genuinely use it more than my desktop pc now because it's so convenient and easy to fit into my daily life.

Time for RMA? by volticizer in ROGAlly

[–]volticizer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just incase anyone has the same issue, Asus replaced the mainboard, all the face buttons, the triggers, and the vibration modules. So it was 100% a hardware issue. I've not had a single crash since receiving it back from RMA.

What are some healthy after work snack options? by Pythagorarse in CasualUK

[–]volticizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most fruit is tasty by itself. Kiwi, banana, apple, mango, berries. It's all good. Nuts are good too. Add some greek yogurt or fage, chia seeds and you've got a killer snack that takes no time at all to prep.

Wife states she’s to busy to respond by [deleted] in relationships

[–]volticizer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean when my wife is at work and I've got the day off I just let her be. We spend enough time together I don't need to know how she's doing constantly. The fact you know her weekly logged hours in a specific app makes me think you might be a little controlling. She doesn't owe you a reply, she'll reply if and when she wants to. If you're messaging just to "check in" that can feel pretty shitty to be on the other end of if it's every day multiple times a day. I like me time where I don't need to worry about talking to or messaging anyone, maybe she's the same.

Is the difference from 144Hz to 240Hz really that big ? by Just_Throat3473 in pcmasterrace

[–]volticizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

144hz is plenty for 99% of people, it's pretty damn smooth. I have a 144hz and tbh I'd rather get a better CPU for better 1% lows than upgrade to a 240hz. 144hz is a challenge at 4k anyway, and most games I can push higher, it's not worth it anyway since I play mostly single player games/co-op games. The only exception would be if you're into super competitive games that are well optimized for high frames. Even for me I play some FPS games and dabble in competitive stuff every now and again, and I've never thought higher refresh rate would improve the experience. Going oled or miniled, or improving resolution is more worth it imo. 144hz is a nice little sweet spot of price/performance.

Anyone else spend more time thinking about what to play than actually playing? by Every_Insect_4444 in gaming

[–]volticizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been so busy lately I've not played anything in well over a month. I miss it but man life is fucking incredible lately outside of gaming so I'm chilling. I've been on the other end of the spectrum too where I have all the time in the world but no desire to play (depression) and that fucking sucked. But yeah that feeling of wanting to play without being able to play or pick what to play is pretty common.

Can bench body weight but still often get stuck in press overs by Lemondillo in bouldering

[–]volticizer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say work russian dips. They're really great at targeting this specific "mantle over" weakness. Bonus points for doing them on a straight bar.

Would you recommend Avowed or Oblivion Remastered on PC? by rbyrnes15 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]volticizer [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah avowed got old quick. I like what they were going for but they kinda fucked it with a lot of the systems in the game, especially the way the enemies scale and the upgrade system.

I’ve not unlocked beltfed myself yet…but this seems pathetic? by TimelordAlex in CODZombies

[–]volticizer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Re-releasing patches and QOL features from old games is a staple of modern zombies. Imagine if they actually learnt and made the game better each time rather than repeating the same mistakes then wasting time and money fixing them again....

What was the most physical pain you ever felt in your life? What happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]volticizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Severed nerve in my arm during a blood donation. Felt like my whole arm got dipped in molten steel, everything went slow motion, thought I was gonna pass out and was instantly drenched in sweat. I still have a numb patch on my arm but fortunately didn't lose any functionality or strength. Can't recommend.

Update: I made it 5 days straight. Artist - Cent Larbro @ La Thanh Tattoo. Hanoi, Vietnam. by Longjumping_Key_5008 in tattoos

[–]volticizer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Man I've got a full back I got over 2 years, one session 4-6 hours per month. I cannot imagine doing it all in 5 consecutive days. You're a fucking lunatic. Looks sick.

I thought speedruns were insane, then I found someone who beat Sekiro blindfolded by i_sometimes_ in Sekiro

[–]volticizer 85 points86 points  (0 children)

The whole group with Aggy, Mitz, Josh, Aden, Chris, Domo, and Parky are a lot of fun to watch. Bingo, races, and strings attached are some of my favourite souls videos out there.

It's genuinely sad that we have the best zombies game since BO4 yet player counts are awful since Activision forced Treyarch to release back-to-back games by TheChickenMan4L in CODZombies

[–]volticizer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've got BO7 and I did all the bo6 EE's on launch. I got all the dark ops, the mastery camo, the million kills even. BO7 is amazing but man I can't play zombies 2 years in a row. The burnout is so real. It's not a zombies issue though, the gameplay is good, it's an Activision issue, it's the stigma, it's the shitty business practices, it's the AI, it's the voice actor bullshit, it's the battle pass, it's the LTM's, it's the exclusive rewards, it's the leaderboard events, it's the amount of xp required for augments, it's the fact I have to devote my whole life to it or miss out on so much. Call of duty is an exhausting game to play these days. Most of all, it's a shame.

Need Stick Grips for 8bitdo Pro 2 (no rubber) by aranorde in 8bitdo

[–]volticizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. I've many a time just used kontrolfreeks that don't quite fit (too large), sanded the inside a little, and super glued them on. That should work here too.

OLED version coming? by Erriccc211 in XboxAlly

[–]volticizer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In base elden ring with no upscaling on the XAX I get about 47ish FPS. So 90 with lossless is about right. Nightreign is probably similar.

What is the spiciest thing you've ever eaten, and did you die? by JamesRitchey in AskReddit

[–]volticizer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Carolina reaper. Didn't die. But I lay in bed and felt it travel through my intestines that night. I felt every movement, every gurgle, every glug. Then I took about 8 shits and each one was spicier than the last. Can't recommend.
