Started playing Apez again after four yrs hiatus

Solo Q'd to D4 fairly effortlessly from Gold, but as soon as I got into D4, I'm just getting destroyed

The aim, positioning, game sense, etc, of ppl in these lobbies leveled up another magnitude

I already dropped back to Plat 1 once, but won that game and got back into D4 again in one game. The skill level difference is insane!

Any tips?

New to gun ownership. Shot my BIL's MP5 this weekend in his range and I'm hooked

Looking at good reproductions and Century Arm's AP5 seems to be using original HK tooling

I have ranges all around where I live - is this a good first gun to get?

I also lust over the MP7.. mostly into SMGs

I think the answer is yes, but it's been awhile since I've played Apex (since 4 yrs ago), and i remember this being the reality back in the days

With rank resets, the first week or so of a new ranked season typically is a mess skill distribution wise right?

I hit Plat 1 in the most recent season after taking a break for a few years, and this week has been an absolute sweat fest. Seems Diamonds and Masters are in my lobbies (despite us all being Plat), and the general skill level is significantly higher

I solo Q only, and I've reviewed the majority of my games where we get squad wiped, and most of the time, it's due to being 3rd partied, even if we are the third party

I think the call of when to enter a fight is my biggest limiter of further climbing bc I may make a bad call to enter a 3rd party fight, and the fight drags on too long, and now we die to a 3rd party

How do people in diamond and masters deal with this problem? Esp when playing solo and teammates aren't communicating (and/or they don't hear your communication)

TDM is my fave mode for warm up but it's sandwiched between Control and Gun Game (my least favorite mode tbh)

Id love a TDM only mode that's 24/7

Or, give us servers to host custom games so people can just make their own custom servers that's aim practice only

I love big big drippy round willows. The bigger and more branches, the better

For example, Brian's Song / Hands of Times is beautiful

Any Good Stuff I should look into if this is what I like?

no one cares about your videos

I'm half way through LN9 right now so SPOILER ALERT

I've finished both the manga and anime and i fell in love with this anime and all their characters. they're all so endearing

this led me to read the LNs because i want to know more about what happens

i'm not trying to hate - but i can't but notice just how rude and cold maomao is in the LN vs in the anime and manga. for example, the way she talks to lakan and lahan and even jinshi at times is just so argumentative and rude for no reason at all. even en'en at multiple times during LN9 tells maomao to be not rude

im not looking for an mc that is all sweet and lovely all the time, don't get me wrong. my wife also agreed that LN maomao is very unlikable at times since we're both reading everything, while both of us didn't feel this way while consuming the other mediums

but i just notice how in the LN, maomao seems way ruder than in the manga and anime. could it be mistranslations?

anyone notice this?

I have the Segway GT3 USA which has a top speed of 31 mph

But I want more

I've heard of Scooter Hacking Utility or Xiaodash but not sure if they can do this?

Just bought my first electric scooter the Segway GT3

Don't get me wrong I love this thing. The ride is so comfortable and stable

Even at 31 mph I feel completely in control

But as a speed demon (I used to ride electric longboards), 31 mph feels not enough and I want MORE

I could go with the GT3 Pro but my wife doesn't want me to die

At around this price range, what is the best scooter that can go up to 40 miles an hour?

I see the Apollos and VMax. They all look sleek and nice which is important to me. I do not like the off-road-y and bulky look of some scooters like Dualtrons (they are so ugly lmfao sorry if you're a Dualtron fan)
