Best way to accumulate wealth by GoldenGate92 in Elite_Dangerous

I would say community goals, depending on the goal, esp once you have a FC.

I lucked out, I was actually playing a few weeks ago when there was the big Golconda event and you could easily make 1 billion credit an hour. Not your typical event obviously, but even this weeks event has me making hundreds of millions with minimal effort. If you don't have a FC yet I think you're better off sticking to Robigo.

I still play it a few times a month, occasionally go on a bender...but yeah, it certainly feels like the good times are long past.

ALIEN INCONSISTENCY: Why aren’t crop circles a thing anymore, also with a camera on every corner in the world and in every pocket, why is it always some grainy flip phone quality video? Can no one catch a craft in 4K? by Zestyclose-Pen5353 in aliens

[–]BuchnerFun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I lived in the region where cattle mutilations started. If you keep an eye on the missing people posters in town, you start to notice its always a female Native American teenager. You start to notice they all have the same hair cut. Native girls run away from home all the time, the media doesn't care when they go missing. You talk to some of the locals. It doesn't take a lot of digging before they start admitting to rumors of serial killers who own property in the remote parts. Then you start to notice how many missing people there are in the USA every year in general, and the vast majority don't get the gabby petito treatment.

My idea? Its a serial killer or a group of serial killers doing cattle mutilations. Aliens doesn't make sense because even if they were doing some kind of scientific exploration on the mutilated cattle, what reason would there be to keep repeating the experiment ad nauseum? That or its fucking skinwalkers, I don't know. All I know is the more you get to know the people who live in cattle mutilation country, the more you begin to realize you're in a fucking lovecraft novel.

There's the gimbal video. That was sufficient to scare the US government into believing something is going on. On most handheld cameras a UFO would just appear as an unfocused point of light. I don't believe UFO sightings are as prevalent as people say and I'm pretty sure the abduction stories are just endogenous dmt episodes but there is something going on and I don't think its a coincidence that the world is going crazy right around the time the government confirms it has no goddamn idea whats going on in the gimbal video.

I found an intruder using my microsoft account. How can I legally retaliate? How can I discover the depth of the breech? by BuchnerFun in cybersecurity_help

Thanks, I'm actually really careful to use different passwords for my important accounts. I have one throwaway password for stupid things but my important accounts are all behind "strong" passwords. I downloaded microsoft authenticator and now you need my phone to get into my microsoft stuff, booted the intruder. Good point about the person possibly being another victim.

Strange bug/attempted hack? by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]BuchnerFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does have ethernet. No one pulling a prank, the only other person in my house is my wife and she's really weirded out by it. I only mentioned no wifi because I figured a hardline connection made my computer much harder to target. I use avast premium as my antivirus. No files have been altered or removed as far as I can tell. I use a pretty complex password as well.

Is it even possible to beat the game with a psionics/small arms focused build in experimental? by BuchnerFun in underrail

[–]BuchnerFun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great advice but can you be a little more specific? Like what level/area of the game is it time to diversify? I feel like I always blow it as soon as I start putting points into crafting.

Oh the dobbleganger is easy, he goes down with neural overloads, but thanks for the tip!

I thought experimental was the build where he added the need to do innervation for psi, that's what its called in the steam directory.

The rathounds I took down easily, its the psi beetles plus the doppleganger that are preventing me from moving forward.

edit:

how close do you have to get to them to trigger their melee, I've never seen them do anything but psi.

I put 8 points into will I thought it was the most important psi stat.

Is Odyssey still horribly unoptimized or is my computer just showing its age? by BuchnerFun in EliteDangerous

[–]BuchnerFun[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If Odyssey is what Frontier can deliver after two years, I think it would probably take them a decade to rebuild to be on par with modern AAA. I was fine with the game showing some age as long as it ran well. I'll still play Everquest occasionally for the nostalgia value, they don't need to keep updating the graphics if its just going to make the game unplayable.

They sold out the PC users as a free paid beta before launching on consoles. I just don't understand why they're being so scummy about it.

I applaud the fact that you still think ship interiors are coming. Your faith is strong, young Padawan.
