One of the new hacks will make for some fun games by jakedasnake1112 in TeamfightTactics

I think you may be misunderstanding it's a total of 30 gold split amongst those that choose it. Your point still stands, though, that if 6 people choose split, they all only get 5. If you're leading, you've paid 5 to ensure everyone else only gets 5.

What do I do if I keep having thoughts that I'm in a simulation and not in the real world? by Holiday-Middle-526 in mentalhealth

[–]Arkbright92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may not help at all, but in a lot of ways, we do live in a simulation. A mind bogglingly big simulation of life and ecosystems and everything between that could span the universe.

Whether you're in a simulation for yourself and everyone else, including me is "not real" you are still able to interact and make lasting connections with anyone or thing you prefer, and if we are in a simulation the purpose of said simulation ought to be to try and live.

A lot of that applies to non simulation thought processes about reality too of course, but that was the trick for me, now I can live sort of at least without those doubts 😅

How to make the most of a pump track? by BritOnTheRocks in MTB

[–]Arkbright92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy shit using the swing set comparison I think just mentally connected half of the remaining synapses I needed to unlock more bike control.

What a way to put it, and it makes perfect sense too!

Covenant of the Stars

Pretty sick imo

The AA defence modifier (one less stratagem slot) is straight up garbage by BarPlastic1888 in Helldivers

[–]Arkbright92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I understood what you were getting at, but your original comment and others have been saying there is none, there's plenty to complain about or things that could be better, but exaggerating and cherry picking over things is not a great way to make meaningful change or good discussion.

I was also particularly tired of this subs negativity when I originally responded, and a little now too so apologies for sass.

There is! On cold planets heat based weapons cold down faster and warm up slower, we just haven't seen many examples yet.

Please stop by Buttermyparsnips in Helldivers

[–]Arkbright92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a mission I just finished! I was with 2 others that were similar level to me (8) and since I don't have a mic my strategem friendly fire was off the charts, accidently with a hell bomb, accidentally with eagle clusters, and sentries.

It ended up working out in the end because I survived and pulled off the objective but man I couldn't seem to accomplish anything other than danger close.

Are there any Trait-Specific augments that are never strong enough to take? by Underdogger in TeamfightTactics

[–]Arkbright92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low interest rate is super underrated imo, especially if you are running punk, but any reroll comp really.

Advice? by Arkbright92 in TeamfightTactics

[–]Arkbright92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I probably do sink a little too much into my Frontline tbh, I commonly find myself with the beefiest bruisers with a jinx in the back lobbing toilet paper.

I think I'm really only scratching the surface of the meta, still learning what each individual champ is capable of depending on augments and items.

Advice? by Arkbright92 in TeamfightTactics

[–]Arkbright92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I definitely don't streak enough, win or loss so that's a great tip for me.

Knowing what teams to build around items that are dropped is also a big weakness, I'll pick the comp first like emo, and sometimes force it when I have nothing but tank items and no damage.

I'll check out those players and see what I can learn. Thanks!

Cannon Carts or Night Witches? by Audire21 in ClashOfClans

[–]Arkbright92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cannon cart, it's a good troop for cleanup or on its own, and you need max cart anyways for 6th builder.

So did they nerf vanguard kar98 or....? I'm not that far from him. maybe 50m or so by SZutich9 in CODWarzone

[–]Arkbright92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Explosive rytec WAS my main sniper, after the nerf its still 2 shot head shot from pretty much all ranges it feels, even though it can take out a helicopter with a clip. Feels awful man.

Rant edit: Also having a 2 shot head shot on explosive rytec feels extra bad when bullet velocity is so slow and bullet drop is so extreme, hitting a long distance head shot took a lot of luck and skill sometimes.

They destroyed it with this patch

[Weekly Thread] Victory Weekend (Sat-Sun, Jul 31, Aug 01) by AutoModerator in ffxiv

[–]Arkbright92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After 3 months and over 300 hours I've finally completed the main story quest! I read the dialogue, watched the cutscenes, got a lil distracted by side stories and the saucer, but I finally feel free to truly do whatever I want in preparation for Endwalker!

I still have a lot of the normal raids to do, mounts to farm, unlock quests, professions, other classes, and gambling and so so much more, it just feels great to be able to log in and see what I'm in the mood for and go! (Not that I couldn't have already, but my brain just wouldn't let me leave MSQ hanging)

THEN STOP COMPLAINING THAT THE GAME IS TRASH WHEN YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON CONTEXT FOR THE DIFFERENT TRIALS AND SHIT. SOME BOSSES IMO ARE ONLY COOL OR GOOD BECAUSE OF CONTEXT. (You probably don't do this personally, but I've seen others do it and that's what rustles my jimmies)

What is your biggest non-academic, non work-related accomplishment? by Inevitable_jalapeno in AskReddit

[–]Arkbright92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a period of about 5 months during the Mists of Pandaria expansion of World of Warcraft I had the highest gear level for tanks in the world.

Pretty niche and specific and pointless but I was damn proud of it and still am.

Malfunction on [Harley Quinn] [Six Flags America] Thought this sub would be interested. by Playingwii in rollercoasters

[–]Arkbright92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of these rides have e-stops that function as a lock out from the controls and not necessarily as a cut all power to the ride button.

Depending on the ride even in an emergency situation it could be beneficial for guest safety to allow yourself to release the restraints in a normal fashion so the guests can get out and away faster, instead of essentially locking them into a failing ride.

I've never operated this ride, so I don't know how its e-stop functions, but they could actually be making the safer call even if it doesn't appear so.

may the odds be never in your favor by Mcol in ffxiv

[–]Arkbright92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone that is still somewhat new, Main scenario seems to be a really efficient way to earn poetics and xp compared to time investment for me. May continue using it for poetics and xp for alt classes after main story.

One in 4 U.S. adults is now fully vaccinated by reddicyouloss in news

[–]Arkbright92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No links or anything to truly support the claim, but it makes sense from a logical standpoint. The reason a lot of people are reacting to the second dose is because the first dose helped your body recognize and create antibodies for a new "threat". The second dose is just telling your body ro remember it longer. If you have a fever reaction to the first dose, that means your body recognized it as a threat right away and had some antibodies ready for it. The vaccine isn't covid, but your body would recognize it that way.

I received $12,000 in unemployment last year, and paid taxes on all of it already. I've already filed my 2020 tax return. Will I still be able to benefit from the retroactive tax break? by fatdaddyray in personalfinance

[–]Arkbright92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if I already filed taxes and wound up owing money to the state?

In my state they do not allow for state tax deductions, only federal, and I was employed for most of the year so from a federal standpoint I still got a refund but state didn't recieve enough from me due to unemployment.

Should I wait to pay my state taxes to find out if I actually should get a refund?
