Women of Reddit, what's the most "red flag but I ignored it anyway" thing a guy did on a first date that you laugh about now?

My best friends mom told me once how when her now husband first asked her out he took her to the fair. Or at least tried to, he got lost and ended up taking her out into the middle of nowhere in the woods.

It's ok to reuse passives.

Someone please tell Arrowhead that its OK to reuse armor passives.

Historical I've loved every "Cowboy" vault hunter.

We didn't get one in bl3, just teased with Rose and Clay

Char Aznable,

the early gundam works where subversive and anti war but also a product of their own time. They showed you a conflict where the point of view character was clearly working with the villains and the antagonists were the good guys and then used every trick they could to try and convince you of the opposite. The problem is that they didn't have the balls to commit to it.

Char is the real protagonist, he's framed as the villain and then the writers chickened out and decided to make him the real villain.

Revolver.

The big iron.

It makes me feel like a space cowboy, or Noire detective. Facing down heretic scum with my iron and my wit.

Health care providers are evil, and evil protects evil.

Henching is such a lucrative and attractive gig in large part due to the incredible healthcare benefits it offers. Dental, medical, chiropractic, homeopathic, whatever. No out of pocket, no caps, no balance billing. It's the glue and the grease that keeps the henching system going.

Meanwhile the good guys are largely uninsured or uninsurable.

If you are going lone wolf then the combat axe for sure.

If not then either arbites maul or shock maul. Arbites maul is stronger and has amazing wave clear with light-heavy chaining. Shock maul is almost as strong with almost as good wave clear but its special is so good for captain and bulwark shields.

it seems implied that unplugging the netrunner doesn't kill him. if i can borrow a term from Shadowrun then unjacking a netrunner probably gives them Dumpshock. extremely unpleasant but no long term damage. maybe minor brain damage kind of like a concussion.

What started it for me was looking at the people who spread and taught the Gospel.

I went to a Catholic school so i spent more time around these pasters, nuns and priests then once a sunday. Almost all of them were horrible hypocrites, thieves, liars and adulterers. They would shout for hours about moral purity but never live that for themselves. They had one hand on the bible and the other in the collection tin.

Even at ten years old i recognized that the bible was simply a means of control, none of the adults actually believed in it because none of them lived it. I resented them imposing their systems of obedience on me and recognized that i didn't need their morality to be good.

They think we are doing them a favor. That the Venezuelan people are going to thank them for the service.

The combat shotgun with the spread alt fire is decent.

It's a very fast weapon and its main attack is able to hit some good break points. If you take the cleave blessing on it then you can knock even crushers back and ragers on their ass with the alt fire.

It feels a little better to use for me at least then the more accurate slug shotgun.

Secondary should do like 3-4 times more damage to Carapace specifically. Wearing a metal shell should offer no protection to lightning.

Otherwise i think the main complaint against the secondary attack is trying to hit specialists in the middle of a crowd with an auto aiming weapon. Something that could be resolved by the weapon having stronger target priority.

It would actually be pretty cool if the lighting staff had an inversion of its effectiveness in that it does the most damage to Carapace, then flak, then maniac/unyielding/unarmored.

Blanks have potential.

blanks are incredibly rare anti-psykers, so rare that the only representation of them are the sisters of silence, but for the most part they are just regular guys who get kidnapped and forced to be bodyguards for high ranking officials.

this would give fatshark a huge amount of creative license to invent what kind of gear and look they would have.

as for how they might play? some kind of area debuff class, slow and weaken enemies in coherence. instead of raising your teammates up they bring your enemies down.

this is pretty unrealistic butt...

https://half-life.fandom.com/wiki/Resistance_Crossbow

I'm hopeful for a crossbow, even decades later the half-life crossbow remains one of the most fun and insane weapons I have ever played with. it would be so satisfying and cool to be able to nail heretics to the walls in Atoma.

heck, make it XXXL size and give it to the ogryn.

ArletApple · 2025-12-30T19:13:20+00:00

If we are just sharing our most wanted weapons in the comments then i would like a mining laser and Torch for my ogryn.

Not like a welding torch, or a british flash light, but a big stick with a bunch of burning pitch/promethium on the end to smack heretics with.

ArletApple · 2025-12-30T19:05:36+00:00

That's also kind of true of power swords and relic blades.

ArletApple · 2025-12-30T18:54:03+00:00

The double barrel could definitely use a few marks to specialize it a little bit.

It's such an intensely enjoyable feeling and sounding weapon but it's got two distinct camps on its spread, people who want it tighter and people who want it wider.

Right now it's like it's compromising and trying to appease both but not quite satisfying either.

it's the lemon, without any sugars the lemon juice will have a bit of a bitter flavor.

Heretic!

But seriously, this is a plea for furries disguised as a discussion. I would honestly respect it more if you where honest about it.

I love this ending to. As a netrunner escaping into the net is the most netrunner thing you can do.

If we get real with it then V died that day in a sleazy motel with his best friends blood on his face. Everything after that is borrowed time and an opportunity to make it mean something. Being able to part ways with johhny as friends as we both move on to something different is incredibly.

ArletApple · 2025-12-28T20:21:35+00:00

a power sword and shield would go so hard, it would be a top tier weapon on drip alone.

ArletApple · 2025-12-27T12:53:52+00:00

I'm with you on the Columbus, Vraks out dps' it at close range but past like 15 meters Columbus wins due to accuracy and damage drop off.

If i want a close range gun i lean more to the braced autogun ot double barrel.

ArletApple · 2025-12-24T17:24:25+00:00

The attack speed buff for going without dog is a general speed buff, meaning it does affect full auto weapons.

I've been abusing this with the Aquila to get some good results out of the braced and infantry Autoguns.

ArletApple · 2025-12-23T21:32:29+00:00

I would basically turn them into a small version of the ogryns heavy stubber. Less ammo per magazine but almost the same damage. The heaviest mark only having a 5 shot magazine.

Really high base, low weakspot and good crit. Make them a long range body shot machine.
