Guys - you are not going to believe this -

I got into Apex Legends (a video game) because - you know boredom. ON PC with a gamepad (can't do KB/M - long story) but I was on that struggle bus for 20 hours. Only 3 kills and couldn't for the life of me do well, a lot of games wth little to no damage, deadweighting every squad I went near. I was so frustrated.....

So I got a freeware aim trainer on Steam and sat for 5 hours this weekend just practicing my flicks to aim, practice practice practice.

Sat in the game for 30 minutes last night and racked 5 more kills in less than 10 games. It's still kind of sad- but I revived squadmates in clutch situations, landed killshots we needed and actually helped get a damn team win... FINALLY!! I can say I now found the exit to the struggle bus, I'm still on it- but now I need to work on my positioning and fight picking, and I'll be able to hang with the PC boysss...

I'm never going to be a ranked dude, never top tier, always casual - but screw it now I'm learning to pull my own - it's happening FINALLY boooyaaaa

But the team win felt goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood....

Freeware aim trainer? It's not an aimbot is it?

I play blackout on bo4, fortnite, Apex and some other battle royals.

I'll give you a couple tips. All of them have a slight aim assist with a controller. Not so much with a mouse. Use a controller for better aim. Also let go of the aim button and reaim a couple times to help lock on. Don't adjust your aim with the look stick or mouse. Use your movement stick or arrows to fine tune your shot. It's easier.

Set the sensitivity as high as you can and feel comfortable. After a few days increase one more.

Apex is a great game for being free. Call of duty went to shit and I wouldn't even play it if it weren't for winning a free copy.

You tried Ring of Elesyium? Not sure on the spelling.

no it's Aimtastic - it's basically a virtual shooting range generated on the Unity engine that's super stripped down. It's freeware at the moment as it is early build. but for being early build it runs at 120fps steady and crashes less than Apex lol

it has pop up targets, side-to-side flicking exercises, target tracking, and different 3D areas to practice movement and aiming around corners and what not. you can't see a gun or anything but it is easy to set the sensitivity to be the same as the normal game setting.... so I did a bunch of hours practicing as shooting from the hip then in ADS like setting..... and yeah man it helped.... jumping in again this afternoon

I have to use a controller I injured my hand when I was young and now in my 30s can't really do the twitchy fast control thing with my pinky or ring finger on my movement hand and it starts hurting after 30-40 mins (doesn't happen typing I do like 30wpm no problem, just gaming I guess is how the hand rests on the keyboard or something) and reversing hands ain't happening..........

so I play with a gamepad.... yeah I saw a few videos of a guy called Spheros who's like one of the top rated streamers and he plays on PC with a controller and I noticed that he is engaging the ADS at the right time/releasing.... in the beginning I was just aiming from the hip too much and would overshoot the targets.... the secret is engaging the ADS/releasing/engaging to slow it down where it is very close and strafing to get the target to hit...while shooting from the hip and if needed reengage to reposition, but he doesn't touch his right thumbstick a lot when not in ADS to aim at targets.......

what I need to get good at is positioning and effectively flanking.... for example when the team pushes I feel like a lost dog sometimes and in the beginning I would barge in right behind my teammates into rooms or positions where if they got killed I was easy seconds....

I guess I get to play honey bee... the unidentified pepper plant that I put out in my grow room is blooming. I think it might be a Korean pepper from some ancient seeds that were laying around here that my sun put into a pot for grins. I guess I'll find out if I get peppers off it. I have never seen a pepper plant get flowers all over the top and nowhere else.

There were plenty of faster bikes back in the day, KZ900/1000's come to mind, but they were fast in a straight line. I saw a Gold Wing with a blower and a 4 barrel on it at the rock store, the thing could burn the back tire for a mile.

I had a 73 Z1 Kaw in high school, re-enlisted in 81 & Uncle Sam gave me a big handful of cash that I promptly used to upgrade her frame & boxed swing arm. MTC engineering punched it out to 1400 w/ a set of jugs - new h/p head & smooth bores+ 4-1 Kerker header.
I’d be a dead duck if I still had that girl - too many close calls.

More blooms than leaves on the peach trees. Sister said her blueberries are blooming. i haven't thought to look down to that end of the fruit trees, so not sure if mine are or not.

From last Summer, these are Redhaven's. Tree is about 8 yrs old now. I sell them and end up with enough money to buy fireworks from the HS fireworks stand. I need a break in the rain to spray with fungicide for curly leaf.
