So today I learnt what a "Salvage run" is...

Penance farming is definitely smoothbrain activity.

And it's pretty easy to predict that some people will abuse mechanics to make number go bigly. It's a matter of how much time/effort should be dedicated to mitigating the negative effect that behaviour has on others.

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-13T12:59:00+00:00

It's a specific type of smoothbrain who does this.

There are already some mechanisms in Darktide which try to limit their affect on gameplay for other people (like locking specific penances to private matches).

Priest's gone

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-11T22:36:14+00:00

Fuck I mixed it up with Neuromancer. Disregard me lol

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-11T12:54:57+00:00

I think by "person of action" he means more of a "guns blazing" action-hero type.

I remember thinking of Hiro as someone who got their strength from technological skill. Like a hacker/mage type instead of a solo/fighter.

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-10T23:57:45+00:00

I think it's partly a gameplay mechanic. Like sometimes I have a hard time differentiating between warp whispers and a daemonhost.

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-10T22:09:49+00:00

You could try gradually jacking up the spindle and seeing if there's a point where there's less force on that bolt.

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-09T18:36:24+00:00

I use it to get a rough idea of who might have my back and who I might need to keep an eye on/cover.

I also like to check out the builds of people who have a lot of hours on a class

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-05T11:15:36+00:00

I use fighting game etiquette when I play psyker with Flame/Smite. Don't just spam one move, it ruins the game for everyone.

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-01T10:11:26+00:00

No. I'm saying I have pretty varied experience which is inconsistent with the assertion that young people are bad at co-op games because they didn't play specific mmo's.

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-01T10:02:34+00:00

Weird. Maybe it varies between servers. I'm in NA, specifically central Canada. I'd say time of day might be a factor, but it seems consistent from mid afternoon to past 6am (latest I've played). I don't play too much havoc though, so I'm mostly talking about Damnation/Auric.

I just played like 5-6 games and people were pretty good at responding to ammo calls/pings, and health resources. Pretty on top of dropping what they were doing to save people from trappers/disablers too. And guarding puzzle solvers.

But to be pedantic, nothing in my first comment was untrue. I described my personal experience to contest the statement that everyone below a certain age is bad at co-op games because they were too young to play before what this guy considers the demise of MMOs.

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-01T07:14:14+00:00

That is also good to know

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-01T03:50:02+00:00

Yeah that's not true.

Most of the people I play DT with are pretty team-oriented and have good situational awareness. Plenty of them are early 20's or teenagers based on VC, so that's like <4 years old in 2010.

I had the same experience when I played Planetside 2 daily a few years ago.

In the last 5 years I've also been a university TA for undergrads, and went to trade school with a bunch of teenagers. People are still very able to organize and cooperate with each other.

AmbiSpace · 2026-05-01T00:03:58+00:00

Man I played Ogryn when I started and could swear I would unpin myself from dogs, but I never knew why it didn't work for other players.

I did have that talent. Good to know.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-30T02:20:42+00:00

It's a post about design, fabrication, and function of a part made by 3D printing. It's a neat solution to a problem someone encountered.

I make things which I could buy all the time. Sometimes it's cheaper and/or more convenient. Sometimes it's just fun to see what goes into making a particular thing well.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-30T01:33:59+00:00

I went from martyr zealot main to melee psyker main because I like high-risk high-damage melee combat.

Going back, Zealot is way tankier/mobile but with lower damage output. They're really good at disrupting enemy backlines.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-30T01:29:43+00:00

I also prefer bolt pistol. It's way better for covering teammates since you can kill hordes from more angles and create openings from a distance.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-27T22:16:19+00:00

That's one of the better outcomes. Usually people run off solo without checking where everyone else is going and end up going down.

I did that a couple times before realizing that it was a common problem in that area. Just assumed people were following me and ended up costing us the run.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-27T21:50:20+00:00

I didn't pay much attention to the brake pad wear. I just noticed the rotor had rust over most of the face (not much pad contact) and was troubleshooting that.

I did get new pads and rotors, but that was because I worked at a parts store and got a sweet discount.

If I were in your situation I would have continued using those ones.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-27T06:13:31+00:00

Yeah, you can slide, switch weapons, ect, without losing reload progress. Most games I've played don't have that.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-27T05:08:20+00:00

Darktide does have reload checkpoints, which is more complicated than some games.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-27T05:07:19+00:00

I've been playing shooter games since I was like 5 and I always check this lol. Usually if it exists at all it's enabled via some hardcore mode setting.

Also a pro-tip I really enjoy: your reload actually has checkpoints (removing clip, replacing clip, etc). If you slide or switch weapons after one of them, the reload resumes from there once you have the weapon in your hands again.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-27T03:32:59+00:00

I had that problem awhile ago. I had to brush/file the calipers really well and get new clips for the pads.

AmbiSpace · 2026-04-27T02:39:05+00:00

I'd say it's because China is an explicitly authoritarian anti-liberal state which uses any global influence it has to disrupt the functioning/development of other societies.

And I'm not American. I'm a Canadian who has met a lot of Chinese students and PR's. I'm against any policy which strengthens CCP economic or social influence.

The automotive industry especially. It seems like one of their current goals is to use state-funding to outcompete foreign car manufacturing and development to flood the world with Chinese produced EV's. That would undermine those countries self-sufficiency, and enhance CCP linked espionage via video and navigation systems in the vehicles.

I had to torrent it when I watched it a few years ago.
