Season 5 Experiment - 1700 rating and top 10 in all regions, FPP/TPP solos/Squads

I did a little experiment to show you can get a "decent" rating (at least 1700), and top 10 finishes, in every region.  Mission successful.  It's interesting to note the different play styles in the various regions.
Note: not able to even see KR/Japan (is it still there, or has it been removed?)

RANT: "I love it when we have a squad that sticks together" .. runs off on his own...

RANT: "I love it when we have a squad that sticks together" .. runs off on his own...

I encounter this a lot in PUBG (and other battle royales) .. players who claim to want to stick together, but suck at it.  What they seem to mean is "I love when players follow me around closely so I can do what I want and look like a team doing it".

If you are going to talk the talk, then walk the walk to back it up!  When I try to work together, and it's "WORK" instead of fun, something is wrong.  If it's difficult to stick with you, because you just expect everyone is going to watch what you are doing every 30 secs, then YOU are part of the problem.  There are coms in this game, and if we can share what loot we have available, we can also share when we deviate from being close in an area.  It really is that simple, but people complicate it for various reasons.

Now I was a lone wolf, and Rambo type player, and had to learn how to play better with others, and I have improved quite a bit in this area.  I'm a much better team player than I was in the past, and have had good results in this area.  But it is certainly more enjoyable to communicate with some times than others.  I have had perfectly fun chicken dinners with 3 randoms that barely speak any English at all!

(more to come later on this subject, and maybe a video, too!)

Did DrDisRespect cheat on his wife? or was it marketing strategy to cover vacation??

01/12/2018

From DrDisRespect's discord, part of a discussion worth repeating...

discusson cheating
[12:04 PM] TheWookieWay: more fun to talk abouty mice and games, but back to my original post earlier about cheating .. (relationships, not games) ...
 I can speak from experience. I'm older than many of you (even the doc by a fair amount) and I can speak from personal experience on BOTH sides of the coin.
 Even though I never cheated on anyone, my ex-wife THOUGHT I cheated on her, and went through some things mentioned in the post above.  and I've been cheated on, more than once.  so I have seen the issue from both sides of the coin.
 the older you get, the more things you see, and the more perspective you often get (if you look at things from muliple angles)
 Like many things in life, we think they are black and white when are young, and learn later that most things are NOT black and white.
 but we talk about them online very often as though they can be only black or white, either right or wrong.
 and sometimes they are.
 but often in life, many things are not, are grey, or you don't know what's black or white until hindsight sets in
 it's easy to make mistakes, it's part of life.
 But many mistakes in life can be avoided if we just learn from the past, learn from others who have already lived it, etc....
 like many, i was stubborn, and had to learn some of life's lessons the hard way, when I could have chosen to learn from others mistakes.
 I assure you, the 2nd way is easier, to learn from others mistakes and not make them yourself.
 but you will see Many people on many problems do the former, and learn the hard way. You WILL more thoroughly learn and remember the lesson if you go this route.
 sometimes this is good, sometimes this is not.
every situation and every person is different.  This is why there are no simple answers to many  questions in life.
 Bear in mind, this MIGHT still all be marketing for a Devour ad, to keep us in Doc's mouth until his vacation is over..... though it doens't look that way.
 it looks all too real, and we'll eventually know for sure in the future.
 Just remember this.  Cheating hurts people bad on the other side.  Don't say or do things in a way you will regret later.  Think before you speak, think before you act.  it's not the end of the world if you make mistakes, you will get past those mistakes, but you won't always heal relationships beyond those mistakes.  Some things you just can't take back.
 You can learn, you can grow, you can change.
[12:21 PM] TheWookieWay: I think that is enough for now, words to the wise on both sides, and I'm available if anyone ever wants to talk. but I've got to go to work for now.

I was later banned from the server.

Here is the video mentioned above for Devour:
EDIT: the video appears to have been hidden or taken down. Either leaked early and removed until released, or removed because of what's going on with DrDisRespect

EDIT 2: Here is the link from Adrienne Curry's blog post on the subject of cheating being a choice, that I posted weeks ago on my Guitar blog: http://guitarsparadox.blogspot.com/2017/12/cheating-is-conscious-choice.html

new Samsung 960 EVO NVMe drives are better than expected

http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/samsung-960-evo-m-2-1tb-nvme-ssd-review,1.html

the cheaper versions will make sense for a lot of people, just not dedicated power users who create content daily (streamers, youtubers, video/music rendering, etc) where the double life span on the more expensive faster PRO versions make more sense.

Though, I could see having a PRO for the bulk of the work, and an EVO for everything else for some people
