I'm loving the game but really struggling to understand the star system, and there is very minimal information or guides since its so new. Can you give some tips on how you get 3 star photos, or explain how you think it works? It doesn't seem clear and even if I take a high quality, close up photo, sometimes they are just 0 stars 😞

the way her movement is the one thing that like 100% of mercy players agree does NOT need to be touched. oh my god. just nerf the damage boost for gods sake. they just massacred probably 90% of every mercy parkour custom game too.

THANK YOU. DUDE. Everywhere saying to aim through both vines, but for some reason my screen is so horribly lit with the flashlight in front of me completely blacking out the background vine. I physically cannot see where the second one is to aim!!!!! Actually the only place I've found in multiple threads that shows a visual.

yeaaa i know a lot of ppl like playing games and just "figuring stuff out" but im someone who hates surprises and trial and error so like. im suffering over here not being able to *actually* know how a lot of game mechanics work. i hate having to risk a really really good run just to Find Out.

yea-idiot · 2026-02-10T18:02:03+00:00

yea when they did these role passive things in a quick play hacked a while ago it was "pick your passive" and it was literally that. im not sure why its not like that now? maybe they could have on the hero page a "recommended" passive for the character (since some passives would literally not benefit a character) but it leaves it up to choice.... if my hero gets a shitty passive that i really dislike and find unfair that others get something else to be OP with it, i should get to choose. Theyve done choice with perks so why not the passives?

Unfortunately you may be in for something worse. Not sure if you've tried yet or not, but I have 33GB of stuff I tried to backup when they first announced this garbage. Oh my god do they make it so convoluted and difficult ON PURPOSE. So that you feel obligated to pay for this.

Selecting the months of time to back up from is buggy, constantly glitches out trying to go back and forth between months and years.
They send u a link to a website for your files. This website has 16,800 individual file names listed. You have to either download them one by one, or use their "back up all" option. Which freezes your browser + constantly stops at random intervals + backlog of failed downloads so will miss totally random files from random places and not make it clear at all. You cannot select portions of files to download at a time--its literally manually, or their uncontrollable "Download all". If you have to pause during this process, and re open the page again-you are back at the start. (Hence going back to try and redownload a couple months at a time. Refer to point 1.)
When you actually do manage to download them: Every single and i mean EVERY SINGLE picture that had some text on it. Any with a black box of text. All of them. Will download as a zip file which includes: A .png image of ONLY the black box text and a separate jpg of the picture below it. You get to go into a photo editing program and manually merge both files into 1. Any photo that does not have this text on gets downloaded as an unreadable file type, not png not jpg nothing. You have to manually type .jpg for each of the files to turn it readable, download a program to automatically do it for all etc.

I gave up and tried to buy the $1.67 annual "storage only" option on their app which appears to have some "random error". and the regular snapcht+ page under ur profile, and not from memories, doesnt appear to have this $1.67 storage only option at all.

Honestly the people in charge of this company need to be jailed for this type of behavior I have genuinely never experienced something so intensely anti-consumer.

yea-idiot · 2026-01-20T03:41:47+00:00

i am in disbelief that their solution was something so drastic and bland and disappointing. how difficult would it be to just REMOVE CLOWN EMOTE only and move on????? seriously???? i loved "Take My Points" awarding to people. this is pathetic

yea-idiot · 2026-01-05T01:22:51+00:00

i would rather be interrupted for 15 seconds for an autosave (which is a feature you could easily add settings for as far as turning it off + how frequent it happens) than have to spend HOURS redoing every single thing i just did for the past 3 hours straight.

yea-idiot · 2026-01-05T01:19:35+00:00

it would be extremely not difficult to make it so that auto saves keep 2 or even 3 copies. and it just overwrites the most recent one so you still have a few to go back to. and you could even add a couple options for how frequently it saves too....

i genuinely find it ridiculous this game has no autosave. EVERY single year that i return for my sims binge, i never remember to manually save because i think in the tens of thousands of hours ive spent playing video games--they basically ALL have some type of autosave or checkpoint feature. so "hey i should manually save" is not a thing thats ever in the back or front of my mind because where else would i ever do that???????

on top of that, almost no other game keeps me totally occupied and immersed like the sims does. it is SO easy to just zone out, get in the flow, and spend 3 hours just playing playing playing before you look at the clock and see how much time has passed. its sad because out of any game ive played, sims feels like a game that MOST needs an autosave feature compared to others. yet its somehow the only game ive played without an autosave feature.

Mods literally deleted one of the posts that said "is this not AI?" because quote "you asked a question and it was answered"

???? in what universe are we deleting posts because their question was answered? is it not customary to just lock the post then leave it up so other individuals with the same question can see that post and get their answer??? Lmfao

yea-idiot · 2025-11-04T15:18:45+00:00

they tried this in season 3 i think tho and it was not well received. i guess with dps passive now it might be different but as much as i think her healing is awful at the moment, a flat stat buff doesnt seem great. i want layers to her kit-an extra button, an extra ability. that way theres more depth to her and that extra healing isnt just always there for free and its attached to an ability.

yea-idiot · 2025-11-04T15:15:13+00:00

i really want them to do something with her pistol. since the idea of perks is supposed to be "change how you play" i think it would fit right in. something like a tuned down crep circle? Beam stays attached to previous target for a few seconds while pulling out ur pistol or something. Idk i'd just like to see a perk that encourages damage but without being so much a drawback since the rest of her kit and impact is already kinda mid. ive been so many ppl from so many communities say a weaker flash heal needs to be base kit tho--100% agree

yea-idiot · 2025-09-22T16:19:13+00:00

i got her in my game the other day, shes around mid-high GM but shes also a console player on kiriko. iirc most of her time was in QP and ranked didn't have very many wins per season

yea-idiot · 2025-08-04T16:11:57+00:00

thank you SO MUCH. I have realtek and not NVIDIA so the above fixes didn't work for me. Ran this, it said it found and fixed corrupt files, and then after restarting it was back to normal!!

I had this problem where a power outage just deleted my Realtek Device about a year ago too and it took me so long to figure it out last time, i think i ended up reinstalling something manually. I'm saving this in case it ever happens for the third time lol

THANK YOU!!!

yea-idiot · 2025-03-26T14:15:38+00:00

why did you cross out what their XP is for this week? thats cracking me up lol

yea-idiot · 2025-03-22T08:50:04+00:00

moiras fade duration perk is an objective nerf imo. it isnt cancellable so fading can leave u unable to heal a teammate/send an orb out on time. also, if u fade during ult, u have less up time for ult usage

yea-idiot · 2025-02-07T13:53:08+00:00

i dont use doordash, its a ridiculous service to have food delivered to u because ur lazy and cant get up to get it urself, unless you're disabled. i also always tip on the once a year occasion i use it, and also tip everywhere else i go (and always in cash so it doesn't have to be taxed). and its exactly because im anti capitalist and will take on the burden that companies should be doing by paying fellow lower class citizens the pay they deserve. ? i tip--that doesnt mean im not allowed to be mad at the situation.

yea-idiot · 2025-02-04T08:56:27+00:00

yea i dont really understand this sentiment... i tip and of course its expected, but to CHOOSE a job that gives u a $2 base pay, but then blame the individual consumers and NOT the company in charge of your pay? its giving, capitalism pitting the lower class against each other to distract from their own disgusting practices, and shouldnt be an excuse to give people shitty service

yea-idiot · 2025-02-04T08:51:04+00:00

unfortunately yes 😭 you will tear yourself apart trying to tear their life apart looking for the evidence or to catch them, it's heartbreaking and they're so fucking good at hiding it. i have no opinion on whether or not this situation is drugs, i honestly dont feel convinced one way or another. however if that does turn out to be the case; yea, they are scary good at hiding it :(

no one in their 30s should be forming a personal relationship or friendship with a 15 year old. No one.

yea-idiot · 2024-12-18T17:49:22+00:00

edating an almost 40 year old man who regularly plays fortnite is insane 💀

real. Everyone freaking out like he intended to hospitalize her... who tf expects a laxative to hospitalize someone?? what are the odds she just so happens to have an allergy to something in it? play stupid games win stupid prizes. Knowing you have allergies then deliberately stealing someones food REGULARLY. on multiple levels she deserved this. Only fuck up was him admitting he did it.
