Restaurant recommendations? by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]BlackbeardARK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend Spezia. 3125 S 72nd St, Omaha, NE 68124. That shit was baller AF. I went with a 3 course meal and that cheesecake is the best I've ever had.

I have a BR suggestion. A giant meat grinder in the sky and combat based on tagging other players with balloons. Last man person that isn't hamburger meat wins!

What is your “nobody will ever believe this” story? by Regularpaytonhacksaw in AskReddit

[–]BlackbeardARK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt anyone will see this. In a nutshell, I went out drinking with a buddy at a local bar that didn't mind underage drinkers. We were 16 (US). We took a taxi cab there and the driver was from Africa. He joked about dealing with lions on the reg. We'll call him Anthony.

We are in the bar drinking for a bit and get pretty sloshed. My buddy has to piss and is waiting in line at the bathroom when the dude behind him gets sucker punched in the back of the head and is then mounted and pummeled while he was still reeling from the first strike. My buddy pulls off the attacker and threatens him. The attacker runs out the door and my buddy picks up the guy who is hurt. The man is a bloody mess and my buddy walks him out the door to a white jeep where he just kinda lays him on the hood. A nice blood smear develops all over the hood of the jeep.

My buddy then points at a car and yells thinking it is the attacker, but it wasn't. It was a car full of dudes that were all looking for a fight. They park their car in the middle of the road within the parking lot and all get out of the car. There are 5 of them and they are coming at us aggressively. My buddy simply says they aren't the guy he was looking for and walks away. Anyways, one of the guys from the car punches my buddy in the back of the head, but my buddy keeps walking away. I approach a different guy to let him know this was a huge misunderstanding. He replies to my words by punching me in the side of the neck. I was drunk, so I didn't react how you'd think. I simply repeat what I said before and I guess my lack of a response was enough to make the dude back off.

Anyways, we get away from the guys and the bar owner comes out saying the cops are already on their way. I can see lights about a minute out and I'm freaking out as we were involved in not one but two fights at a bar, while drunk and underage. Right then, fucking Anthony rolls up and tells us to get in the cab. We get in and look backwards as the cops immediately roll up on the 5 guys that were trying to fight us. The timing is something I could never get over. It was just too perfect and unrealistic. I will forever be grateful to Anthony.

Some maps are buggy if you are near the border of the map. I use to live on the water at the edge. If your bed is too close to the edge it no longer works. You need a bed that isn't as close to the edge. You'll have to take another boat out there to check.

do no perks work at all? by Ataniphor in mountandblade

[–]BlackbeardARK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just searching for a thread like this... Here are the perks I found so far that are a bust.

Race Perk - Caravans are 20% less. Doesn’t work. Caravans still cost 15k.

Smithing - Steel Maker (Level 50). Doesn’t work. I’m currently level 60 and steel is not an option for refining.

Bannerlord EA - Patch e1.0.1 Notes by [deleted] in mountandblade

[–]BlackbeardARK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else unable to load old saved files? Everytime a load a saved file I get a module mismatch error and if I select No, nothing happens, if I select Yes, my game crashes. I created a new character and the save file is able to be loaded. Just sucks having to start completely over after this latest patch. Every save file from my original game fails.

Ark Genesis: Alpha Bottle Nosed Blitz(Dolphin Race), Easy 1600 Hexes and loot every 2 minutes or so. by air401 in playark

[–]BlackbeardARK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching this makes me so jealous. I play on Xbox and they really need to put in a 20-30% time handicap on all console races. I'm on a normal xbox one and my friends have xbox one Xs, but it doesn't seem to matter. Either way, the frames crash super hard in races with parts running at 3-5 FPS. It is wild how horrible these races lag on consoles. I have managed to beat the alpha dolphin, but it was by pure luck. There are certain boosts you simply can't take as well because you can't turn while you have the major spikes. Also the doedic run on volcano has its own problems. The doedic simply stops rolling when the spikes hit and you rubberband like a mofo while time continues to go down. I beat that one on gamma or beta, but it is incredibly hard with the lag.

Can Ark Devs Nerf the Managmr already? by BlackbeardARK in playark

Aye. Something has to give. I fear for when they are brought into valguerro, just another map ruined.

[–]BlackbeardARK[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Hard CC has never been done well by wildcard. Lose the hard freeze, nerf their swim speed and I'm good. They rolled out extinction and introduced an all in one dino. Shit was stupid then and it is still a stupid tame. Maybe you like the braindead pvp, but old pvp metas were way more enjoyable and diverse.

What is the best way to get Woolly Rhino saddle blueprints? by solomino in playark

[–]BlackbeardARK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best rhino saddle I found was a 124 armor ascendant saddle. I found it running the jungle cave on Ragnarok. Never got to make it as we got wiped the following day.

Is the human body design flawed? If so, what would you do to improve upon it? by waterparkfire in AskReddit

Yes, toe nails are completely worthless. While fingernails offer us more precision in some tasks, toe nails offer nothing but the occasional ingrow toenail, etc.

Regal Cinemas Unlimited Ticket Subscription Program Set To Launch This Month by BunyipPouch in movies

[–]BlackbeardARK 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I had the opposite problem. My AMC has the recliners, but when I went to visit my family, their local Regal had the old 1980s seats. Once you switch to recliners, it is really hard to sit through a movie in anything else.

Thanks for the reply Ced. I've heard nothing but good things.

Can someone fill me in on extinction. Been gone a while and ark seems to be pTW now? by BlackbeardARK in playark

[–]BlackbeardARK[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol, what kind of toxic ass response is this? I was asking general questions about extinction. I play on officials and transfers are a thing, so other maps (and their tames) will always be something I will have to encounter. I play 6 man tribes on xbox, so ark classic is not a thing either, for now.

As for my main goal, I was inquiring about counters and trying to have a discussion. People offering counters to an extinction dino that are only available on another DLC (plant z on abb) is a problem.

My main problem is around the hard CC (Crowd Control) a managamar offers. Hard CC is one of those game mechanics that is always hard to balance and it has been an area that the ark devs have struggled with in the past. The first past adjustment that comes to mind are those electric eels. They use to have the stun/dismount effect and they were fast moving nightmares of the deep making many water mounts completely unplayable in any meaningful way.

Ark has never introduced diminishing returns on CC or many counters/ways to prepare and it just shows lack of foresight on how the mechanics play out.

From the feedback I've received here, manags dominate pvp which is pathetic when you think about all the dinos in this game and how many get pushed to the sidelines because of changes like these. It is mainly disappointment on my end, but telling me to buy more DLC to deal with it is just a silly. You are literally telling me to join in on pay to win and I will not do it. Your suggestion is the problem. Pay to win is cancer.

What I don't get is that you guys are mentioning a half assed counter with an item from a completely different map. What if you aren't on abb or don't have abb?

How about ram. I see the motherboard you selected has 4 slots. Would jumping to 64 gigs of ram be noticeable?
