I've seen that he got nerfed this season, so I'm wondering how much those nerfs actually affected him. Is Ramattra still a solid tank that I can comfortably keep playing, or has he fallen off a lot?
If the nerfs were significant and he's no longer worth maining, which two tanks would you recommend I learn instead? Also, what are the best builds for them in Stadium?
I recently got my driving license through Dallah Driving Academy and wanted to share my experience because before registering I spent a lot of time searching Reddit and reading other people's experiences. Most of what I found was either very old or people saying Dallah intentionally fails students and has ridiculously long waiting times. Because of that, I went into the whole process expecting the worst
Before I start, I'm Qatari, and I'm mentioning that because I know some people immediately assume that if someone passes quickly or gets their license without many issues, they must have received special treatment or used connections. That wasn't the case for me. I went through the normal process, took the same tests as everyone else, and passed the theory test, L test, P test, and road test on my first attempt
I registered on 07/07/2026 for a regular half course. The main reason I chose Dallah wasn't because I thought it was the best driving school in Qatar. It was simply the closest one to my house and they offered installment payments, which made things easier for me. Before registering, I had heard a lot of stories about Dallah intentionally failing people and making students wait forever for appointments, but I decided to judge it based on my own experience. My plan was simple: if things turned out as bad as people claimed, I would just switch to another driving school
The first shock came immediately after registration. I received my theory test appointment and it was scheduled for 06/09/2026. I honestly thought there had to be a mistake. Waiting more than 2 months for a theory test that most people finish in less than 10 minutes seemed ridiculous. I spoke to one of the employees and was told to talk to the registration supervisor. My brother and I went to him and explained the situation. We even told him that a friend of mine had registered at another driving school and got his theory test appointment after only 3 weeks, while I was being told to wait over 2 months. The supervisor barely looked at us and kept repeating that this was the available appointment and that it might change automatically if an earlier slot opened up. To be honest, it felt more like he wanted to end the conversation than help us
While waiting, I started working through the academy's app. The app contained five lessons, and each lesson had a video ranging from around 30 minutes to over an hour, followed by more than 65 questions. Honestly, the app was one of the weakest parts of the entire experience. The videos were boring, many questions were repeated, and some of the images weren't very clear. There was even an "Appointments" section that was supposed to show lesson and test schedules, but it stayed completely empty for me the entire time. After the first lesson, I started playing the videos at 2x speed and letting them run in the background. When it came to the questions, I'd answer them as quickly as possible without really caring if the answers were correct. Once I finished, I'd check the results page, screenshot the correct answers, and immediately retake the questions using those answers
After completing all the lessons, I waited a few days and nothing changed. I called the academy again and was told to come in person. My brother and I spoke to the registration supervisor again and got basically the same response. Eventually, he told us that if I wanted an earlier appointment, I would need to upgrade to VIP. I asked him multiple times if he was sure and he said yes. So I upgraded from a regular half course to a VIP half course on 15/07/2026. The difference was immediate. My theory test appointment was moved to 21/07/2026. In my specific case, VIP made a huge difference. Whether it's worth the extra money depends entirely on your situation, but for me it solved the biggest problem I had with the academy
I honestly didn't study much before the theory test because most of my friends kept telling me it was extremely easy. On the day of the test, I arrived around 6 AM even though the exam started around 7:30 AM. I have social anxiety and tend to overthink everything, so I was extremely nervous. While waiting, I reviewed questions from the general quiz section in the app and memorized the answers. When the test finally started, I realized I had been worrying for nothing. The questions were incredibly easy. There were around thirty questions, and I finished the entire exam in less than 5 minutes. The result appeared immediately on the screen and I passed. The amount of stress I had before the test compared to how easy it actually was was honestly funny
Later that same day, I went back to schedule my driving lessons. I was assigned lessons from 8:00 PM to 8:45 PM every day except Friday. Some of my friends told me night lessons weren't ideal, but I wanted an Arabic-speaking instructor and didn't really have another option. At the same time, I also received my L and P test appointment, which was scheduled for 05/08/2026. My lessons started on 23/07/2026 and continued until 04/08/2026
Before my first lesson, I was overthinking everything. Would I get a good instructor? Would I actually learn properly? Would I pass the L and P tests? Would I become comfortable driving? I had driven before registering, but only a little. A cousin had given me around three lessons and after that I occasionally drove late at night or after Fajr when the roads were mostly empty. I wasn't confident and I didn't know whether my driving was actually good or full of mistakes
My instructor was Egyptian and probably somewhere in his thirties. Honestly, my first impression wasn't great. Before I even got into the car, he was on the phone and sounded angry. I got in and he was still on the phone. Then he told me to start driving. I was trying to adjust the seat and remember things I hadn't done in months while he seemed to assume I already knew everything. At one point he asked me why I had chosen a half course if I didn't know how to drive properly. I don't react well when people speak aggressively to me and I was genuinely considering asking for a different instructor after the first lesson. Thankfully, things improved after that. From the second lesson onward, he was much calmer and more professional. My biggest criticism was that he rarely gave feedback unless I specifically asked for it. If I asked a question, he would answer. If I didn't ask, he often stayed quiet
During the first few lessons, my biggest mistakes were braking too early before speed bumps and signs and not taking turns smoothly enough. After around half an hour of the first lesson, he unexpectedly told me to drive on the road. I wasn't confident at all, but he seemed completely confident in me. Surprisingly, once I got onto the road, everything felt easier than I expected. As the lessons continued, I completely stopped being afraid of traffic and other cars
The L and P training turned out to be much easier than I expected. The L itself was very simple. The only thing that really mattered was knowing where to stop and when to turn. One thing that confused me was that during training, my instructor often told me to turn immediately instead of stopping first. That made it harder for me to understand where exactly I should stop during the actual test. The P was slightly more complicated. Memorizing the sequence wasn't difficult, but I struggled with knowing exactly when to stop and when to turn because the instructor would simply tell me what to do instead of explaining how to identify the reference points myself. Eventually I figured it out on my own and became comfortable with both the L and P
On the day of the L and P test, I arrived around 6 AM even though the test started at 7. I was nervous, but one of my friends came with me and helped calm me down. Then something happened that nearly gave me a heart attack. While we were talking, he casually asked if I knew where I was supposed to stop in the L test. I told him yes. Then he asked, "Before the line or after the line?" I had absolutely no idea what line he was talking about. That's when I discovered there was a stop line that my instructor had never explained to me. My stress level immediately went through the roof and I spent the remaining time watching videos and checking the proper procedure. When my turn came, I ignored the shortcut method my instructor had taught me and followed the proper procedure. I stopped before the line, shifted to N, applied the handbrake, shifted to P, waited a few seconds, and then continued. For anyone who doesn't know, there was no examiner in the vehicle. You're completely alone during the L and P tests. The L went perfectly, the P was easier than I expected, and I passed both on my first attempt
After passing, I completed the remaining installment payments and was scheduled for the road test on 12/08/2026. Originally, I was told the test would be at 11 AM. Then the day before the test I received a Metrash message saying 6 AM, which caused some confusion. I arrived around 6 AM and the test started around 6:30. I was the first driver and there were two other candidates in the vehicle. I greeted the officer, adjusted the seat, fastened my seatbelt, adjusted the mirrors, and asked if I could begin. The road test ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the entire process. It lasted less than 5 minutes. We didn't go onto major roads and everything happened around the academy area. By that point, I had completely stopped overthinking things. My mindset was simple: if I pass, Alhamdulillah. If I fail, Alhamdulillah. Either way, I'll do my best. That mindset removed almost all my stress
I finished around 6:40 AM and received the result message around 8 AM. I passed. The first thing I did was thank Allah. Around 9 AM, I went to collect my license and the process was incredibly simple. Just a few hours after taking the road test, I was already holding my driving license
Throughout the process, I saw people passing and I also saw people failing, so success definitely isn't automatic. Looking back now, did Dallah intentionally fail me? No. Did I experience any deliberate attempts to make things difficult? No. Were there things I disliked? Absolutely. The app needs improvement, communication could be better, appointment information wasn't always clear, and some staff members seemed uninterested in helping. Also, don't expect amazing customer service
At the same time, many of the horror stories I heard before joining simply didn't match my experience. The biggest lesson I learned is that the tests themselves were far easier than people made them sound. I spent weeks stressing about the theory test, the L test, the P test, and the road test, only to discover that every stage was easier than I had imagined
In the end, I passed the theory test, L test, P test, and road test on my first attempt. If I could go back and choose again, I would still choose Dallah because it was close to home, the installment option helped, and overall the process went smoothly for me. Just don't go in expecting perfection, and don't let other people's horror stories convince you that getting a license is impossible
Hello everyone,
I need some advice about Hourglass, or PvP in general.
I'm struggling against players who mainly use sniper rifles. They barely use cannons, but their sniper aim is incredibly consistent and they rarely miss. They also eat quickly and are really good at defending against boarders.
I can't stay on deck without getting hit, which makes it hard to use my cannons or even attempt a board. Even if we manage to drop their mast and put several holes in their ship, they recover so fast that it feels like nothing happened.
How do you deal with players like this? Is there a specific strategy or is it just something that comes with experience?
i've been having a weird issue with brave for about 3 weeks to a month now
randomly while i'm browsing, the whole browser freezes visually. if i'm watching youtube, the video keeps playing and i can still hear the audio, but the picture is completely frozen. it also happens on normal websites, not just youtube
the only way to fix it is by clicking the brave icon on the taskbar to minimize it, then clicking it again to bring it back. as soon as i do that, everything goes back to normal until it happens again
i already tried turning hardware acceleration off and back on, but the issue still happens either way
i'm on windows 11 and using the latest version of brave
Has anyone else been seeing this lately?
My friend and I have found Fort of the Damned already active 3 or 4 different times, but it's completely stuck.
There are no skeleton waves, no boss, nothing. We've tried sailing away and coming back, dying and returning from the Ferry of the Damned, and waiting for a while, but nothing changes.
One time we even found another crew there, and they had a huge group of friendly skeletons following them, but there were still no Fort waves or boss spawning.
Is this a known bug, or are we missing something?
I've had my Huntsman V3 Pro for 4 days.
Actuation is 1.2mm, Rapid Trigger OFF, Snap Tap OFF.
When holding a key like W, if I slightly reduce pressure without fully releasing the key, the input stops as if I let go of it.
Is this normal Hall Effect behavior, a reset point issue, or a bug? Anyone else experiencing this?

I have most characters in the game, so assume full flexibility when suggesting teams.
I’m looking for the current highest DPS / most meta team possible for Neuvillette, based on actual testing, community consensus, and Abyss performance.
Not F2P or budget options — I want the absolute top meta team (premium setup included).
What is his strongest team right now in the current patch, and what is the reasoning behind it (Hypercarry / Hyperbloom / Vaporize / Electro-Charged / Lunar-Charged, etc.)?
