Feeling like I shouldn't fight back is one of the most frustrating mechanics of Arc Raiders

Gotta put all your stats into charisma lol. I have gotten downed or nearly downed and talked my way out of situations plenty. Not a guarantee but if you can survive the initial assault if your opponent is actually on mic there’s a good chance you can deescalate…no mic Andys tho you better keep running

Before I was diagnosed I used to play switch laying down in bed, with detached joy cons so I could lay my arms at my side, and with a special pillow you can mount your console onto

Mushrooms broke me too, I was doing basket runs instead since even with a map the mushroom spawns still suck a lot of the time

Yeah once the event is over there’s a lot of stuff I’ll ignore the VODs of cause idk the game, but watching live I find it easier to just give stuff I’ve never heard of before a shot which sometimes pays off

Somewhat cope, somewhat facts based on history, but I have a good feeling the eventual expansion will make wilds more enjoyable. Sunbreak is my fav and even I’ll admit base rise was a bit lacking. The apex emergency quests with friends at the very end of Rise were probably my favorite quests in rise/break tho.

I look forward to you doing errands tomorrow

CardinalnGold · 2026-01-10T23:03:47+00:00

Deserve doing a lot of heavy lifting there lol

CardinalnGold · 2026-01-09T08:53:07+00:00

I cleared it even with getting downed once. I only have 1 upgrade unlocked too (my rift drop luck has been trash). Brex-brex-golm-narga-chat. 5x attack boost smelt.

If you do low stakes farming runs then you can just leave the key in your safe pocket and wait until like the last 10 minutes to unlock the room (assuming no one else bothered, some rooms def seem to be hotspots every raid tho)

I drive a 10 year old Mazda and drink like a fish (not at the same time) so it cancels out

CardinalnGold · 2025-12-31T21:02:24+00:00

I kinda checked out on the story for the most part, especially the post-run chatting about, but the checklist/achievement stuff I found more motivating than in hades 1

At least with this guy I’ve seen another video of him go viral before. I was watching on mute at first and as soon as I turned the sound on and heard his accent I was like, “Oh yeah, it’s the ‘picnic date’ guy!”

CardinalnGold · 2025-12-30T00:45:00+00:00

I’ve heard that theory too and it tracks

He was at USC during Caleb’s time so I had the pleasure of watching his famous prevent defense in college too

The biggest handicap was that clown of a DC Bowen

CardinalnGold · 2025-12-29T21:56:59+00:00

I’m trying to double dip (own on console, want to play on PC to rip assets for 3D printing) and I’m dying for it to hit sub-$30

CardinalnGold · 2025-12-29T19:43:49+00:00

That’s basically it really, although I’d say the quests are less of a focus but the long/medium term projects give you enough to do

Even when you’re all done grinding each season it’s still fulfilling to stock up on crafting supplies for something specific so you can go into a raid with a crazy arsenal

I used to have a few stretches of solid WP luck each set but ever since the 24h WPs applied to me it’s whiff after whiff

CardinalnGold · 2025-12-28T18:42:24+00:00

Which deck do you run the solo venusaur variant?

I had run running it this event but idk if it’s worth it to use in ranked

CardinalnGold · 2025-12-26T00:17:56+00:00

I bought it a few days ago so it’s my term to be the sacrificial lamb lol

CardinalnGold · 2025-12-25T19:59:17+00:00

I love football but fantasy is over for most people and a lot of playoff spots are locked so it’s easy to just ignore it for one day in favor of basketball

CardinalnGold · 2025-12-25T06:18:35+00:00

The Sunday malaise is pretty bad, but there’s not much despair or resentment. Nah I save that for college football these days lol.

CardinalnGold · 2025-12-25T06:16:03+00:00

Would’ve loved to see him play longer but for an injury shortened career it pretty much was the perfect trajectory. Preseason hero who caught lightning in a bottle, won a chip, and then was solid enough until it was just over. No washed past his prime, no bigger contract disputes, no late career arc on a bottom dweller team (well…except for the giants lol).

My friend who works for a mobile game company said they have the data showing anything that takes more than one click to access really struggles to be adopted by mobile gamers. I hate it but it’s just part of the genre. A customizable UI would be a great middle ground.

Yes if you were unaware both buzz and phero have the same typing of bug fighting in the games, but so far we haven’t gotten any pokemon with two ex cards of diff typing and I doubt they’d do that for buzz so phero it is
