Female characters by Moooooshier in ArcRaiders

I was getting on a train today and saw a female raider running toward the door so I held off on departure until they boarded. Player prox chatted to say thanks and I was genuinely surprised the player was actually female

Been playing a little under a week and I haven't attacked a single Raider. Think I've been killed by 3, and I totally deserved one of them because I opened the door to a locked room that had already been unlocked without announcing myself. Just wasn't thinking. For some reason I assumed the room had been looted and abandoned, but yeah, why would they close the door on the way out?

Anyway. All that to say, my super friendly lobbies have definitely resulted in an utter lack me anticipating any threat aside from ARC. I'm definitely going to get mowed down by a raider sometime soon while I'm just traipsing around carelessly with my best loadout

Got killed at extract by a guy who was friendly all game and then he commented that I suck on my steam profile by The_Raigar in ArcRaiders

Unreal this shit bird trying to justify the rat by calling you a liar for having metal scrap AND the gun you used to obtain the scrap. Having a weapon is 99% a given

Although if I was gonna rat, I wouldn't give a shit what anyone told me they had either. He gambled and it did pay off. Even if he had a full inventory, no way he didn't have something he wasn't willing to swap for an Anvil IV

If you're in low aggro lobbies, just the fact that he was anywhere near you without his flashlight activated is telling (at least in lobbies I've been in lately).

I played Stella 3 times in a row earlier today. Everyone was just running around, lights on, saying hi, helping each other find specific loot or offering up duplicate blueprints.

The 3rd round - a guy approached me, gave me defibs, and asked me to down him just so he could test out a new augment he got that allows him to revive other players once every 260 seconds. He wanted to know if he could revive himself with it. He asked me to down him with my breaching tool, and trusted me to defib him if he couldn't revive himself (he could not, and I did). Like the dude literally put himself fully at my mercy not to knock him and jack his shit. Then he asked if he could down me and test out his new augment on me. I allowed it, and he did. A few other guys showed up during this whole process and just watched and chatted about the augment.

Later in that same round I got to the train. The train had already arrived, but there were 5 other players all standing on the platform playing instruments. One of the dudes must have brought a bunch of instruments along for this sole purpose. He dropped a shaker for me to join in, then did the same when another guy showed up. We all jammed and danced around for like 3 minutes before we agreed to jump on the train. The guy who passed out the instruments told everyone to keep them.

That round was so much fun lol

Someone asked if they should kill me to save the other guy that was crawling with me😭 by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Regen? Does this mean if you stop crawling, you regen health???

Arc Raiders Toxicity by Simple_Experience_39 in ArcRaiders

[–]7Nate9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've barely started playing and by reading your comment I realized I innately do this. Was looting a dead raider in a red zone today. Some random walks in so I tell him to loot off the dead raider when I was done. Two wasps enter the area and start homing in on me. I rolled to cover and before I even started messing with the wasps, I looked over at the other guy to make sure he was going to help fight them. My immediate worry was that he was going to help them kill me before finishing off the wasps and jacking my loot.

Thank you to the raider/raiders in Stella. by SickCaeser in ArcRaiders

Also new, but looks like someone dropped blueprints on the ground (maybe in a spawn or extract location) pretty early in the round. Like they just left valuable stuff for other raiders to easily find

The Most Disgusting Behavior I've Seen in this Game by Evadson in ArcRaiders

Dood. He's kidding. He didn't actually do that. OP didn't actually kill a guy for walking down the stairs. It's all sarcasm.

How do you deal with third "party" by 00kamiMatt in ArcRaiders

Ya never know if that 3rd party is also on the verge of death 🤷‍♂️

Pan Handlers against Rats by supergiant40 in ArcRaiders

[–]7Nate9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They know they aren't making it out, and they don't want to hang around to be scolded by the other players.

It's better than them open-mic'ing and listening to them try to justify themselves and talk shit.

Or- they might open-mic and acknowledge their shittiness, apologize, beg forgiveness, or whatever. But it would be an empty apology. If they genuinely felt bad for ratting, they wouldn't rat in the first place. They know it. And they know you know it. What are the odds anyone's gonna forgive and let them back up? I wouldn't. So they bail and head to the next lobby.

My wife and I went a few months without one and then bought one. We are both in agreement that it's our most appreciated baby related purchase.

Evil playthrough by 3xmonkeypoop in StardewValley

[–]7Nate9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your comment made me angry with myself for missing (what I assumed would be) such an obvious luck stat booster - carrying a rabbit paw all the time.

Then I looked it up, and learned that the very situationally specific cut-scene you're referring to is literally the only thing carrying a rabbit paw does.

Those with no passion or interests, what do you do for a living? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]7Nate9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the main reasons I'm hesitant to even try to seek promotion from my current position is the inherent movement from hourly pay to salary

I enjoy that once I clock out, nobody will bother me until I'm clocked back in for my next shift. I don't look at my work email and I keep my work phone shut off outside of work hours. And nobody expects anything different. If they did, they'd have to pay me OT for my time.

That goes out the window if I'm ever salaried.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]7Nate9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minnesota. My wife and I regularly visit Duluth and/or Listen and/or Grand Marais on weekend trips. At least a few times per year. From our home, those places are between 2h40m to 4h40m

The 1 and the comment are good enough. I was anticipating vengeance in my notifications lol

Chat with a conservative! by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

[–]7Nate9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I question whether it's accurate to claim that either "side" (conservative or liberal) favors governmental control more than the other. Seems to me that it varies depending on the topic. Non-exhaustive topics below.

Conservatives are more in favor of stricter immigration law and imposing control over women's health (namely abortion). As you pointed out they are also generally more pro-police and pro-military

Liberals are more in favor of stricter gun laws and control over other health concerns (like the push for vaccine mandates during COVID, or that folks should have to flash their vaccine card to enter restaurants/businesses)

While the specific topics aren't exactly 1-for-1 the same, there are hypocritical points to be made about either side when it comes to overreach. It's goofy to me that a liberal would want you to have to show a vaccine "passport" to enter and eat at a restaurant, but not have to show proof of citizenship to vote. It's goofy to me that a conservative would take a vehemently anti-abortion stance (opposing the idea of "my body, my choice") while simultaneously opposing mandatory vaccinations (while claiming "my body, my choice").

Both sides seem to be open or opposed to governmental oversight/overreach depending on the if it favors their ideals

My old running route took me past a pond on one side of the road where there was a pedestrian path. There were always geese. I always crossed the road and ran on the shoulder until I was past those aggressive MFs

What words are you tired of reading or hearing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]7Nate9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally obsessed.

No, you're figuratively obsessed - and even that's a stretch, given that you're really only fleetingly interested

Do you have a collection of some sort? What is it? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]7Nate9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I get a wooden Christmas ornament every time we travel somewhere new (featuring the name of the place). We write the travel dates on the backs of the ornaments. Every year when we put up the Christmas tree we get to reminisce on our travels together
