Gotta get a heated massage chair. It does wonders. Just sit in it for 30 minutes after work and you’ll feel so much better the rest of the evening.

I don’t want to seem dismissive, but I have had this argument 100s of times with an untold number of people over the years. If you ask any pro FPS player who has played at a top level on both they will all tell you that the two should never cross. At least not in any competitive/ranked situations.

It does not matter what you do. If there is anything altering the players inputs whatsoever those players need to be playing against only other people with those same assists and controls.

Yeah I haven’t carried any cash for years and most of the time I offer to buy them food they decline. Once in awhile they take me up on the offer and are thankful but I am still always a little worried they are gonna throw it in my face after that experience I had as a kid.

It’s a shit situation all around.

Ah thanks for the warning. I won’t waste my time then. Based I their first comment that does appear to be true for this topic at the very least lol.

I can almost guarantee you I know more about the topic and high level fps gaming in general than you do.

I’ve been homeless twice. Thankfully I had a car and I could live out of it temporarily while I found some family to save my ass while I got back on my feet.

If I hadn’t had family keep me from rock bottom it’s hard to say if I would have pulled out of those situations on my own.

Unfortunately for many people they have little to no empathy for homeless because they have been lied to or attacked by homeless and they then view all homeless that way.

I remember once in my teens I skateboarded over to a sandwich place to get lunch for myself and my brother. On the way there I passed a homeless guy with a sign asking for “anything”. I decided to get him a sandwich while I was there. Just a basic turkey sandwich or something as plain as I could think of. When I tried to give him the sandwich he threw it back at me and told me I should have just given him the money so he could get drunk.

That experience really tainted my view of the homeless from that day onwards. Then later in life I would have two different girlfriends get grabbed by homeless people over the years.

I have a buddy that lived downtown and the homeless people there were always breaking their windows and stealing their stuff. One of them set fire to the side of their house out of boredom. When the police came they just escorted him to the street and then left. He didn’t get tried for arson or anything. The cops don’t care. They have no system in place to deal with those people.

Its easy for people to have empathy for a group that they have never interacted with. Anyone who lives near homeless or regularly interacts with homeless people will tell you that not all of them are good people who just got abandoned by society. Some of them are evil bad people who have refused help or just don’t want it. Most of them need mental support.

It’s a very complicated issue and I dont think it has any easy or cheap solutions.

Whoa whoa whoa. I’m only 33. I just happened to like old shit growing up and I got to use it all right as it went out the door and got replaced haha.

My great aunt left me her typewriter when she passed. My father holds onto it as I have nowhere too to store it and he enjoys using it from time to time. It’s becoming harder and harder to find replacement ribbons or people that can repair it at all, but it’s still kicking. I typed out a few short papers on it in highschool just for fun.

I’m not 100% sure that’s the exact model I have but it looks like the right one.

It’s April 1st y’all. Keep in in your pants.

As someone who has played competitive FPS games at a highish level in multiple games for most of his life I cannot fathom why they ever combined the two in the first place. Like I obviously understand more players and quicker matchmaking, but at the cost of competitive fairness??? No thanks.

Controllers playing against PC is fine without any any aim assist as that is just straight up a disadvantage for the controller player 99.9999% of the time, but the moment they add any aim assist to the controller it kills competitive integrity.

Controller players should only ever go up against other controller players if any amount of aim assistance is turned on and same goes for mouse and keyboard. That shit should not be on consoles and allowed to play against controllers for any reason.

I pretty much dropped Apex Legends entirely just because I wasn’t having fun anymore. I was a diamond player on M+KB and getting laserbeamed from across the map by a controller player just was not fun. Just like I am sure they hated getting hit by a nasty flick only possible with a mouse.

Player input uniformity is one of my biggest gaming gear grinding situations. It’s especially problematic with my favorite genre of games: competitive FPS games.

You can rise… But let’s be extra careful with raising that right arm.

0 point gang rise up.

But don’t rise too quickly. I know our backs don’t like that.

You are shit outta luck friend.

Same exact shit happened to me. Both my accounts got banned without warning. Some nonsense about “violation of TOS”. I appealed asking what rule I broke and it was instantly declined.

I opened a new email on a new Internet source and made a fresh account. It got banned withing 30 minutes for “ban evasion”. I literally do not know how they even know it’s me. There was absolutely nothing that tied me to the old banned accounts. I used completely different information for everything and like I said a new Internet source as well as device.

They have your Internet fingerprint or whatever and you’re cooked for good. Enjoy your new life with lots of free time or just doing it all into Lemmy.

Fuck reddit and their ban happy bots.

I have a base amount of trust/distrust I assign to everyone. Some people go up in trust and some people go down, but nobody is completely trustworthy. Even my parents have lied to me and hurt me in the past. I love them and trust them more than most people but I still know they are absolutely capable of betraying me.

I mean you are making sense. I still don’t see the issue with keeping a little bit in reserve for those potentialities.

How? Anyone you know could betray you at any moment for various reasons. Simply because it’s unlikely doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Unfortunately if I’m going over a cliff it’s a solo adventure and I don’t plan on coming back up.

It’s just logical.

I don’t think it’s wise to ever trust another person 100%. You should be aware that anyone could turn on you in the correct situation with the correct pressures.

It goes in a shoe
