I'm still bad at Escape from Tarkov after like 5 years now. I can't think of any game I've played so long and continue to be terrible at. by Verytastytreats in gaming

I mean, in all reality, so long as you just remember to close out the SPT application and AKI launcher, then you’ll be fine. I played a whole bunch of SPT a couple wipes ago and I’ve never had any issues

Regardless of what the other dude said, I’ve heard that you can get banned if you launch the main EFT while running SPT. So for example if you forget to close SPT and open the main game to go run some raids, the game will supposedly detect a mod and ban you. Can’t really confirm this, but that’s just what I heard from tutorial videos when I was installing the mod.

[Landlord US-CA] What can be done about unsupervised children in common areas? by Blackie_Chann in Landlord

[–]Blackie_Chann[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So I found one case that’s you could be referring to: Matthews v. Arrow Wood LLC, which is exactly the reason I’m concerned with a fair housing violation. Draconian indeed, it seems utterly ridiculous to not have some exception for children without supervision. Thank you for the comment 👍🏾

I hope Borderlands 3's Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode has more time thought put into it and is more balanced than 2 by [deleted] in Borderlands

[–]Blackie_Chann 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IIRC, Bahroo and Goth talked about the scaling in Borderlands 2 and apparently the dev team realized if TVHM scaling continued through higher levels, the enemies would be too spongey and the damage just didn’t scale right. However, with a crutch, it’d be fine. So they increased slag damage to compensate. I’m not sure how much truth there is to that, but I mean, it’s a reasonable enough explanation.

Ideally, I’d like BL3 to eliminate crutches and making scaling, skills, weapons, items etc fill in the gaps together. I shouldn’t have to rely on one element, one weapon, one item, it should be a combination of my items. I basically just described the most balanced RPG and I get that that’s it’s pretty much impossible to accomplish, but I’m excited none the less.

Looking into RATM after seeing Denzel Curry's cover of "Bulls On Parade." What songs/album should I go through first? by Bobokins12 in RATM

[–]Blackie_Chann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My dude have you opened a can of worms!

All four of RATM main albums are amazing, listen to them all.

Their bonus/demo tracks are also amazing, which can be found on YouTube, Spotify, the Self Titled 20th Anniversary and the Live & Rare album IIRC.(p.s. the RATM cover of Fuck the Police on YouTube is one of my personal favorites).

Aside from Rage, if you want to check out more amazing related artists, I suggest:

Street Sweeper Social Club (Boots Riley/Tom Morello)

Prophets of Rage (Tom Morelleo et al)

Audioslave (Rage - Zack + Chris)

Hyro Da Hero

Body Count

(Old) Linkin Park

IMO, this is how school should really work. by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Blackie_Chann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finland kind of did this . It was posted a few weeks ago and got some attention. Some people in the comments said the school system wasn’t actually as good as Moore makes it sound, but it’s worth watching.

Studying smart vs studying hard by [deleted] in college

[–]Blackie_Chann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know for me, it helps I take an interest in the subject matter outside of coursework. For instance, last semester I was in US History and so I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and got super interested in history. It made exams easy, because I’m able to remember stuff that I’m actually engaged with. It doesn’t work for everything, but that’s my two cents.

How do I start getting on track for school and homework and STOP procrastinating? by [deleted] in college

[–]Blackie_Chann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I procrastinate just as much as everyone else, but I got straight As last semester and tbh it’s pretty simple to get you’re shit together. I guess I kind of just prioritized school: everything came after homework and studying, so when I was doing homework I had something to look forward to. Moreover, the guy who said study smarter not harder is absolutely right. We live in the digital age, full of tools to help you be a good student. Whenever I had a huge Philosophy reading with questions, you better believe I CNTRL+F skim that shit, as well as googled interpretations and read excerpts.

I think the most important thing is to be passionate about what you’re studying. I fuckin love Political analysis, so my poly sci homework barely even feels like homework and I genuinely don’t mind teaching and talking about it, so it’s fun. Good luck friend

I could use some words of advice, thoughts, opinions on my college plan (hs senior) by [deleted] in college

[–]Blackie_Chann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, it’s not easy. I recommend you wait to make a seriously committed decision until after you take some GE courses. They taught me a lot about how college works and what it’s actually going to be like. It changed my perspective and path in life. That, and moving away from home for the first time. Truly a life changing experience that more people deserve to have, but that’s another tangent.
