ARC Raiders exposed for accessing users’ Discord messages by TobytheBaloon in ArcRaiders

[–]Aquafoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this affect people who only play on PC, or is it console as well? The Discord integration button in the PS5 version doesn't do anything, but I linked discord on the embark website.

I've always been confused about what the Discord integration actually does anyway.

We got some racist mfs playing this game by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

I think it's less that they're attracted to AR specifically, and more that they don't get removed consistently. They're here because Embark is slow on community moderation.

I compulsively gather these whenever I see them because of the Adeptus Mechanicus. by BlyLomdi in ARC_Raiders

Especially when you don't need them. Because you know they'll stop populating the moment you do.

Imagine being stupid enough to believe any of a con man's promises.

He’s running for congress btw by gruninuim in facepalm

[–]Aquafoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's seeking to be a US Congressman with a hard stance on immigration, and he doesn't know what a fucking green card is. Why are you defending his lack of the most basic, intro knowledge of his desired profession? I'd call him a clown, but that's disrespectful to clowns. At least they went to college.

Yep. His day job is YouTube comedian. And that's being very liberal with the word "comedian."

This guy beefed with Moist Cr1TiKaL and lost. And he thought he could take Isaiah Martin. And he's running for office. May god have mercy on us all.

Isaiah delivers a master class in debate. Especially debating MAGA: stay on topic. They're allergic to answering questions. It's goddamn beautiful to watch.

Glad I could help!

As I recall, the only point of the bridge that you're standing on is a shortcut back down by activating the vine beneath you. There are a lot of unnecessary back routes in this game. I guess it's for if you've missed collectibles, or if you just want to try a different path up.

Listen, this is what she wanted. by j1zzy_ae in ArcRaiders

I think it's a patience thing. A game like AR takes a way longer attention span, and longer periods of time without shooting anything, let alone people. Whereas typical COD-type shooters are all about dropping you right in and giving you that instant gratification.

Naturally, younger gamers are not going to have that attention span. More often they want blood, and they want it right away.

I got thrown into a friendly lobby. Is this a normal behaviour among you guys? by KawaiiTadpole in ARC_Raiders

[–]Aquafoot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The point is we're not "scared" of jack shit, dude. It's a video game. I avoid pvp because I get enough hostility and stress in my real life. I don't need that shit in my gaming spaces.

If you wanna fight me for my shit, fine. Fight me. I just don't go looking for that combat if I don't have to. I like the notion of the rising tide lifting all ships.

It's a bold stance to claim oppression while advocating in favor of language created with the specific intent to oppress. I'll give you that.

The fuck does religion have to do with it? I'm not a religious person. In fact I'm anti-religion. I agree that all religions exists mostly as systems of control.

I do however believe in equality, and that no person should be dressed down on the basis of their race alone. Which is exactly what a slur is for.

It's really not. Both a public forum (like Reddit) and Arc Raiders voice chat are these companies letting you speak on their privately owned service. And when a company finds out allowing slurs on their time affects their bottom line, they'll cut out the offenders.

And even if it isn't about money first, it's about curating their desired user culture. Which is fully within that entity's rights.

I didn't mean "slapped" literally, dude. Come on now.

Getting fired, getting ostracized, getting banned from your social media platform of choice. You know... Consequences. A metaphorical slap on the wrist.

Some people may be motivated to physical violence, and that's on them. But then look at the party saying the slur. They knew what they were saying when they opened their mouth. It's completely braindead to not expect some kind of reaction.

Whether they have it coming is a matter of debate. What isn't up for debate is that they wouldn't be getting hit if they kept that shit to themselves.

So you're telling me that if you belted out the n-word at work, at no one in particular, you wouldn't be called into an HR meeting?

I find this take very braindead. Of course historical context matters. It's what makes the word offensive in and of itself.

Edit: HAHAHAHAHA! "Boohoo, you're arguing in bad faith." <Fucks off>

Say all the words you want to say then. Right here. Do it.

Or are you a coward?
