I really really like BAR, and after discovering it a couple months ago I enthusiastically told a couple of family members and friends about it. I'm still playing and mostly enjoying it (and improving, slooowly) but had to stop trying to recruit others to the game. Just can't do it in good conscience because of the level of stupid toxicity in BAR online.
Being the farthest thing possible from a rookie in the online world generally or multiplayer gaming in particular (can tell firsthand stories going back literally decades), I've never had any illusions about the interpersonal dynamics let us say. Been there, seen that, many times.
The BAR online environment is not the very worst I've ever seen...but it's not far short of that. And it's not getting any better right now that's for damn sure. Which is a real threat to the future success of this great game. I hope the development group is aware of how serious a threat this issue is to all their great work.
Okay with that said, here is a small tangible suggestion that might not be complicated to implement and could help the situation: add game lobby chevron controls just like the OS ones. And make it possible to do both those settings for a single MP game.
Right now I can start a game lobby and specify either a minimum or maximum OS for admission to that lobby. If the same setting existed for chevrons then game hosts could:
(a) Set a minimum chevrons to join, thereby preventing brand-new players from unknowingly joining a game in which they will be unwelcome. This would dial down the temperatures and resentments in the game lobbies.
(b) Set a maximum chevrons to join, allowing some of us to establish games that actually are for new and new-ish players. E.g. I could host some games with say maximum OS 19 _and_ maximum chevrons 3. Then there would be no confusion about what sort of player is expected in that game, and really-new players could find places to learn by doing without being abruptly treated as if they've wasted everybody else's time.

Firstly, i know it’s an odd ball card game, but im a fan of the art work for the cards and liked the concept so i collect a few of them.
Recently purchased a collection of cards and upon receiving noticed some of the holographic cards are stamped with the word ‘winner’.
Until these arrived I had no ideas these parallel cards existed!
A quick google tells me these were given out as part of tournaments to the ‘winner’.
I’m not looking to sell, but I cannot find any other examples online of these cards. Has anyone come across these in the past? Or aware of how many were issued/given to winners?
Any information at all really would be great! TIA!

I’m looking for an actual store rather than ordering online because I will need it the same day. Merci!

will it take up lots of space on my ipad, or does it store it in an online database somewhere? thank you :)

Here's a genius idea: make live map events take place during, gee I don't know, PRIME GAMING HOURS!? Does Epic not see it's own playercount metrics - like when most of its player base is online?
8:30-9pm ET/5:30-6:30pm PT would be much better.
Thoughts?

I’m having a very difficult and near impossible time trying to find women’s motorcycle pants in general. I’ve been to all the shops near me and tried online. The only ones i’ve found are either a)not my size or don’t make them in my size b) have terrible reviews and aren’t durable. I’m just looking for a pair of pants that aren’t too pricey but would protect me. I would have no issue buying men’s pants because there’s definitely a lot more options, but i’m very small and need pants in a size 24-25. does anyone have any websites or stores I could try?

Hey guys I have kinda weak back and struggle to sit on any random chair for work. I had a decent gaming chair in my last place. But now I am in hometown and I bought a chair here for 5k and it's been terrible. Gives me tons of upper back pain.
Is there any popular ones that's commonly used amongst devs in India? I can see online green soul brand but risky to order as it's non returnable. Here there's some small shops but it feels hard to judge it in 5 minutes.
Main requirements are for it to have a dynamic tilt so I don't have to sit completely vertical. Budget would 10-12k or more if required as I can't compromise as job is priority. Thank you 🙏
Here's a pic of my current one https://photos.app.goo.gl/Jt9cZd56MkdXVS4X7

so i used to use the original tetris game on iPhone for years now and it was working fine even though the last update was years ago, recently it says connection error and refuses to launch,
i searched for tetris games on the app store that used gestures similar to the original game and had no ads (free or paid) but i couldn't find anything
any suggestions ?

Where is a good place to sell my designer luxury items? I’ve looked into TheRealReal and ThreadUp but have seen mixed reviews online. Is there any luxury consignment stores that are worth it to sell items to??

Context:
i own a beautiful cross necklace who was given to my by my grandma. I like it a lot but im afraid the silver will get dirty from wearing it too often so i want to buy more so i can wear them on different days.
Now it somehow feels inappropriate to buy cross necklaces online? Or in a random store? Please let me know wether this is a valid concern or not. For me it feels like a fake cross necklace if i would order it from amazon or a normal jewellry story nearby for example. Ive seen beautiful ones on Pinterest only to find out that theyre from e.g. AliExpress -- that doesnt feel right??? Does it??
I hope you guys are able to understand what i mean and are able to tell me wether my concerns are valid or not. In no way i am trying to talk bad about non-Christian places selling cross necklaces i am just wondering whether it is okay to buy from there?
Is it just about the symbol? Or is it also about who made it and where its from. Please help me? And if you know any good Websites please drop the linK!!!
Thank You very much! :)

I've had my MLM2PRO for about a month now and I'm really enjoying it. The only negative right now, as with other users, is some network stability issues with my outdoor setup. Direct Connect works nearly flawlessly with my (non-cellular) iPad.
I've played many hours with the Practice and the Range, but playing courses which requires you to be online can often be a frustrating experience due to connectivity issues. I can try to troubleshoot and add extenders and wifi configuration changes, but if I can make a "feature request" it would be to allow Rapsodo Courses to be playable over Direct Connection.
What I'm thinking is that the app could allow you to store course data locally on the device, obviously not all 30,000 but something like a library of 10-20 courses that could be downloaded in the app while connected to an internet-enabled WiFi network, but then played using Direct connect. I haven't used E6 much but that's the way they appear to handle it where you download courses and ranges to your device.
Aside from a silver bullet firmware update that solves the WiFi connection or enabling the ability to hard-wire the MLM2PRO to an iPad or Android tablet (PC?), I think this could be a great solution to making all of the features within the native Rapsodo App incredibly stable and easy to use.
Any other solutions/steps that I could take that I'm not thinking of?

I'm a high school student who wants to start making money online. Really I am ready to make/learn anything to make money as it is a very important thing to me; as it will help me continue my studies, make a family, help poor people, and live the life that I want. Currently, I'm a web dev, and a UI designer, and have learned some game dev, and iOS dev, and as mentioned above I am open to learning any new skill that could potentially make me money. I hope you can help me, and thanks :)

It had very early 3D polygonal graphics. I vividly remember seeing gameplay of this game ages ago. You were just a baby running around this very small map with merry-go-rounds and swing sets and there we're other players there too. The babies faces we're really strange I don't know how to explain it they just looked really fucking stupid. That's really all I remember. Hopefully someone can help.

Please give us honest and critical feedback about our Steam page. What could be improved? What is confusing? Is listing the rules of the game a good idea?

Some things I'm currently aware that could be better:
-All videos and gifs should have a mouse and a more clear tile selecting UI, as now it is a bit hard to read, as the tiles turn into water
-More diverse pictures and themes. Currently our other themes are under work so they are not ready to be shared.

I've seen a good few posts in this sub recently about the state of the game and people being upset about getting into lobbies with people shouting racial slurs, being racist/homophobic/transphobic etc. As someone who's been playing the game since 2018 I can say that I have definitely noticed a decline in the overall health of the game and feel like I should throw my input out there.
For me it pretty much comes down to this: Oh well, the game got too big and is now a reflection of the internet as a whole. These people have been here since the days of MW3 lobbies, nothing has really changed. I still have a lot of fun going to public worlds, meeting people and having a good time, it just usually takes a bit of instance hopping before I find a lobby without screaming kids and racist rage baiters who think they're funny. It's kinda a minor inconvenience in my eyes, and it's almost become part of my routine playing this game.
I've seen alot of people blaming quest compatible worlds like Black Cat and the overall quest player base as a whole for these issues, and while I understand why you'd come to that conclusion, Blackout, Murder 4, Duel Cafe, and so many more are all quest compatible worlds that I've been able to socialize and meet amazing people in without running into problems. I personally love this game, and I'm gonna keep on meeting cool people to party and play games with, and try not to give rage baiters what they want, your rage.
Unfortunately, it's an online game with next to no moderation, of course you're gonna find people saying shit they shouldn't say, it's the internet, no one ever has to take accountability for their actions here, so they're gonna use that opportunity to try to get a reaction out of you, and it works so they're not stopping any time soon. Best thing to do in those situations is to leave, go to a new instance, roll the dice and hope to meet some decent human beings this time.
Idk, it's early and I'm just throwing words on a screen, lemme know what y'all think.
TLDR: Yeah, the game's player base can be cringe, it is what it is. Just don't engage with it and it'll go away

Me and my friend are trying to play tekken 6 online and have followed all the correct steps we’ve seen online yet still cannot load into the same lobby as eachother, we have tried different IP addresses and restarting the game multiple times. Any advice?

I thought of this because of how the last map was totally off the wall and unexpected.
But with the craft themed headwear they are putting in the store (black lagoon monster and now the Dino), it would be cool if the next map was like a giant kids room. We’ve seen it in other games and community maps, but how cool would it be to destroy a toy dollhouse/castle/erector set?
Just thought I’d throw the thought out there. Excited to see what the next map is.
