I did not anticipate a pain that surpasses Promotion Matches. So, I want to complete the Naruto Card Collection set. I just need the card that we get for using the Reanimation Jutsu.

...

Set out for 5 or 6 matches today. One match, I don't find it in the spots allocated. Next match, I find the Reanimation Jutsu. None of my teammates die, though.

...

Last match, I find the Reanimation Jutsu. Two people left the match, & I think: "Okay. They're gonna drop from the plane & the Blue Zone will get them. THEN, I can finally use it!". What really happened: Drop them along the beach next to Hospital. They stay in zone until 39 Remaining. Recall closes in 120 seconds. Recall closes at 38 Remaining. Then, the Circle shrinks & they start dying to Blue Zone. I LOVE MY LIFE!!!

Almost as if the gun is related to an X-Suit, or something.

I've heard about it. Always thought of it as a "Lucky it doesn't happen to me" story. Yeah, well... I'm no longer lucky.

...

Theory I've heard before on a stream (TheBushka) is that it's an iOS thing. I'm an Android user. For those unaware, & maybe I'm explaining it wrong, it's when the screen locks-up. So, for example, few times in TDM I played tonight & in the act of shooting - the character stops everything. Stops shooting (No reload needed, yet.). No moving. Went to Training Grounds thereafter. Similar thing happens as I test movement & shooting.

...

Another theory was it happens when hitting 3 buttons at once, or more. It wasn't a problem before - I Use Three Fingers. Now it is. It's kinda actually cool to have this problem. Never experienced it before. What's changed on my button layout is I put nearly everything to 0% opacity. One could think it's "Ah, you're just misclicking what you want to happen.". Which is a valid take. Muscle memory has just made it so that it's instinct to know where the buttons I want to use are.

Today, I've gotten a study for UAE Citizens (I'm not even on the continent), & my location is with Prolific. Obviously not for public consumption, but the record of it is available.

...

I've also had studies made available to me I haven't got the experience for - like, business experience & stuff like that. Which the parts of the "About You" section illustrates I do not have.

...

Sure, in the description states that screeners are in the introduction. That creates a way for folks to lie their butt off for a couple quid, if not a few pennies. Anyway, just the way I see things.

I expect no engagement from this. Just a friends list point-of-view. For the last couple months, I liked setting my profile to "busy". Why? The friends list has, like, 93 people on it. I only like playing with, like, 5-10% of it. So, invites come in from folks I'm not thinking about playing with.

...

Problem is: The status doesn't stick. So, the invites pop up when I log in at times the status isn't set. It goes back to default after 2 logins, or something. Been searching around the settings, haven't found a "Disable Match Invites" option.

...

In addition, since the account is Facebook-linked, looks like it integrated the Facebook Friends (Those with PUBGM accounts) into the PUBG Friends List. What I've found with that is: No option to delete them. Well, I can delete them - but the profile stays in the list after. Not a fan of long friend lists. I liked my E-Mail-linked account, where it had, like, 7 friends. Built the Facebook-linked account with skins & whatever 'cause I can upload a personally-created profile picture.

Checked a stream out. Might have been the luck of the Gods, but dude got 1 key for under 10k UC. Not even a bit tempted by it.

...

Found a couple interesting things, though. On the car that converts the Roadster - there's an "EV" mode (Electrical Vehicle), which turns the vehicle sound into something similar to that Lotus UAZ. There's a term that exists, "Pay To Win". With that, not even hiding it. I don't have a problem with it, though. Nothing matters, as long as you win. For me, how you win doesn't matter - just that you win. Well, short of hacking to win.

...

This second point I've noticed that's more a preference thing (Why I wouldn't go for it) & slightly Pay To Win: The Dacia Skins. Yeah, those cars all look like two-seater cars. Those tiny windows at the back, though - will have you finding a nasty surprise. Players can pop out the back to shoot, through those little windows. Noticed it first on the Apollo variant of the Dacia. At the end of the day, it's just a way to add to the game. Everything else is subjective. Happy Gaming!

For my sins, I've nailed my colours to the mast of using the Scar-L. Upgrading the gun skins, & all that. Problem is... Well, I found a problem. Kids these days would say, "P90 OP". "MG3 is OP". It is, but that's not what I would call "OP".

...

That, I would reserve for one gun: AKM.

...

Been playing TDM at an alarmingly obsessive rate over the last two weeks. What I've found is that my beloved Scar-L gets me rinsed when anyone has an AKM. (Which many choose to do)

...

The balance of guns is fine. I guess that's where the "PUBG Meta" comes in. AKM is the best gun I've found for damage & "time-to-kill". So, I rationalize it with the Scar-L needing more time to kill someone in TDM than AKM needs. Checked in Training Grounds: AKM clears Scar-L by 18 on headshot. 8 more on the body shot. Tested other guns, but I'll leave that to be The Bushka's thing in cruching numbers. For me, the bottom line is: Scar-L is not a TDM gun.
