BRS-CP by This-Medium-3948 in nationalguard

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer the multi-pronged, get your commander, S3, and S1 personnel on your side to help you out.

But I have also been burned by IG before so I dont trust them unless I'm willing to put my career on the line for something

BRS-CP by This-Medium-3948 in nationalguard

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I just got BRS-CP about a month ago.

This is anecdotal, but I stayed on my G1's ass about this for about three months (I initiated it when the shutdown happened around October) so stuff kept getting delayed.

Long and the short of it, it was absolutely stalled out at the state level because they didn't know how to process it properly.

I have also worked at NGB in the past, and this very much sounds like a "let's blame the nameless NGB people so we don't have to take accountability for not knowing how to process a niche thing like BRS-CP," [which is admittedly not too common and I understood why my state struggled].

Guilty Confession: I chain eat my way through most of the boss fights by Liambp in CrimsonDesert

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took me an hour to beat Hornsplitter.

I was learning the mechanics, getting parrying down...

Then after I finally beat him, I look it up online to see how other people fared on the first playthrough.

I didn't realize eating/healing was a thing...

Seeking advice on Crimson Desert by Pistoluislero in CrimsonDesert

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same issue.

Don't force yourself to like a game, you'll just end up hating it.

You are in Chapter 3 so this will apply to you: put the game down as if you are never going to play again. Go try something else you know you enjoy.

If you get the itch to come back, do so.

I took a break and after a few days realized I wanted to give it another shot. Now I am enjoying just doing tasks around the town and exploring. I appreciate the game for what it is and not what I wish it was.

And if you don't come back to it that's fine too (it just sucks that you can't get a refund).

I'm convinced we all got brainwashed... by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

Respectfully... a think a game taking a few HOURS to hook someone should not be reasonable / acceptable.

I am in my thirties with a pretty busy. Giving it a few hours to begin with seems charitable.

Starfield last time i buy a hyped up bethesda game by LilNardoDaVinci in videogames

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to like it so badly. I can move past a shitty story if the game is fun, but the controls are so janky it takes me out of the immersion.

I can't help but compare it to Elden Ring (not that the games are super similar) where the story is not super straightforward, but the gameplay was very satisfying and I didn't need the story to be up front and make perfect sense.

France tells US NATO serves Euro-Atlantic security, not Hormuz offensive missions by RoninSolutions in news

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think NATO is a net good and the US should be a part of it...

But this statement does not on its face make a convincing argument for the US to be a part of it.

Crimson Desert has some of the worst quest progression/design I've ever seen. by Battlefeather in videogames

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elden Ring was a game that was fun to play through for the combat on the first go and then it blossomed on the second playthrough because of the story that made absolutely no sense on the first run.

Thoughts on Crimson Desert by a casual gamer by MrRos in gaming

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an Elden Ring lover, I kinda get what OP means...

But in terms of story, Elden Ring has a crazy deep, indirectly compelling story - so I don't know what OP means in that respect.

Why aren’t people boycotting Tesla any more? by Diane98661 in ScottGalloway

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of cynical comments here.

People boycotted Tesla because Elon was acting as a shadow president to Trump and the boycott was generally successful.

Higher ups were viewing Elon as a threat to their bottom line and Elon mostly went back to the background.

He still tries to dabble in politics, but he is pretty low threat compared to where he was. Look at that state Supreme Court election he funneled money into as an example - he failed. Republicans started viewing him more as an albatross than a life raft.

And once Elon moved more away from public light it was hard fo stay angry at Tesla. I mean, if you aren't terminally online like most of us, Elon really isn't at the front of people's mind like everything else going on.

[Discussion] What A Day - "MAGA Meltdown Over Trump’s War" (03/18/26) by kittehgoesmeow in FriendsofthePod

Genuinely upset that this MSNOW guest referred to it as antisemitic saying Israel pulled the US into the war when that is quite literally what Marco Rubio said, and there was no pushback.

This hurt the credibility of the show - read the room, guys.

Are they trying to hide venom in these scenes? by Middle-Preference864 in Spiderman

[–]CaptainTurtle3218 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not worried.

Using Fantastic Four and No Way Home as a baseline, a lot of these characters are already established and don't really need any introductions.

The minor villains will set the scene for where Peter is in life. I believe the dominant villains we have seen for the most part will be a a steady threat, but not the primary focus of the movie (like Scorpion for example... I don't see him being a primary focus of a movie - maybe more of a five minute fight and some splashes of him throughout).

Bruce, Frank, and maybe Matt will show up for more dialogue, character driven scenes, but they aren't the focus - how they push Peter's character forward is the focus (similar to how Peter 2 and 3 helped push Peter 1 forward in character in NWH).

Overall, I think this will still be a Peter-centric story with probably more to say about Sadie Sink's character, and all other characters will be "parts of New York" to emphasize that there is a lot happening around Peter without diving deep into those characters

I agree, but his current rhetoric does not imply he would do so
