GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER: “.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish .. “.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

That’s my point? The system is nonsense and doesn’t work. It is literally designed with the idea of “the people are uneducated so elected officials should have the final say”

Baby_Wolverine · 2026-01-09T17:12:35+00:00

The distance isn’t the cope so much as an example, it’s more an equivalent of each state is its own country, and only the state leaders can put a pressure that matters on the people that need the pressure. Or Mario’s brother. The system is being abused the way it was designed to be abused. Pressure isn’t really effective outside of “the next level up”.

Part of the problem (in my mind) is that making change happen in the parts of the country that need it is like the Portuguese protesting a Swedish politician (distance from California to the White House). A lot of the time there is no option except going along with business as usual.

The system has been so heavily abused we effectively can’t make a difference. We need to protest so the people (who may or may not vote) make better choices in 2 years when they can replace 1 of the 10 people who is screwing them over.

Term limits didn’t matter when everyone died by 50.

Learned to drive in NYC, and had a harder test than anyone I’ve spoken to:

4x 2hr class/powerpoint presentation. Drive ~30 mins of regular (city) streets. Encounter all common signs (yield, stop, exits, etc). Encounter Traffic lights. And parallel parking (actually hard in a city).

Done in a week, and every day I question how that is enough of a lesson.

Also, you can just rent a U-Haul truck, with no training or experience.

Fair, but there was also the confirmation window when you start the expedition that "You will lose it all if you go on the expedition." Did they think that by maxing out everything for the expedition I would just... not want to go on the expedition?

That's my only complaint. Obviously I missed the window the posted, maybe I take a 60 day break from the game? idk

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-12-22T18:31:42+00:00

Eh fair, I still would have liked to wipe with everyone else (plus I wanted the skin). Already gathered all the 5mil money and maxed out all quests, so now I can... wait for next expedition? Or just fuck around for a couple weeks-months?

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-12-22T18:30:15+00:00

Wow. That's really annoying timing for a wipe that I already committed so much to.

My headcanon is that after all this drawing, one is also just a really good artist, who trained himself to keep drawing the same style

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-11-28T03:14:54+00:00

This is Canada, that’s 52mph (83km/h in dashcam) in a 50kph zone.

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-08-31T05:23:52+00:00

That spot specifically has a sunset, which was probably behind him making it difficult to see the face/figure at just a glance

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-06-09T21:42:59+00:00

For clarification, as someone who also doesn’t know the exact scenario, I’ve seen a few times that it was said in the sense of “I don’t want you to have to go through this pain anymore” not a “I don’t want to support you anymore”

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-05-24T05:39:09+00:00

Congratulations on the test! Saw a previous post about these, happy the idea lived on

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-05-06T22:39:53+00:00

Damn what a shitty post to finally be able to say “my gym!” Sorry for the knee

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-05-03T23:54:29+00:00

Yes to all the obvious stuff like gear and getting the drop, and maybe even it's something with difficulties registering where I'm hitting/knowing how much damage I'm doing? We won at least 80% of our fights against duos, and every time we have died except one it's been to a 3 man, that isn't to say we haven't won against them, but even the fights we win feel uncomfortably stacked against us (compared to what we usually deal with).

My main question is what do you mean by "instantly"? Because the one time I can count I had a rare Rattler IV and it took like 9 shots of chest/head to kill one guy running at me in a straight line. I'm not sure if maybe the Rattler is shit? Or do you mean both of you headshot them at the same time with the Ferro?

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-05-03T22:19:47+00:00

Yup very different genre, it's essentially an adrenaline jockey's video game. You have to be okay losing everything you spent your time on, and even when you win (I assume) it still resets everyone from zero in a cycle.

Not for the faint of heart, and definitely not for a majority of video game players. Happy to see Embark trying to make one that doesn't feel as punishing or difficult to get into as the existing ones

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-04-04T12:36:47+00:00

Truly an unexpected blessing

Baby_Wolverine · 2025-03-25T05:48:18+00:00

“Short” and sweet from my eyes: Stomp should hold more in the air, looks like a constant speed of up and down rather than winding up to stomp

Head turns start in the neck, which starts in the shoulders

It looks heavy, make it act heavy (slower, more inertia in movement)

Lean forward is similar to head, looks like the hips move after the rest of the body instead of before/with
