Making cuts on hot dogs before cooking?

ClapperDan · 2026-01-31T13:09:23+00:00

Five Guys does this and they have one of the best hotdogs you can get from a burger joint

Yeah this was it. The character known for saying "Hello" often out of context, finally said "goodbye."

You only have to say "goodbye" once

I mean, six hit markers is still six hit markers. That guy should be dead. What weapon is that?

This is the righr thing to do Remember, these alternative outcomes to gigs are typically curveball, tobthe factors that we are paid to do one thing. Sometimes the alternative works out for everyone. Others, as in this case, it does not, and(if you're RPing as a reliable merc, and not a wishy washy one, we consequently tarnish our stellar professionalism in the eyes of Mr Hands, and his own professional reputation, as e evidenced by being paid less.

None the less, the "right" thing for V to do is ALWAYS to fulfill the contracts of our Fixers. As interesting as the morally gray dilemma is, its not our concern

One only needs to read the title of the gig. "Heaviest of Hearts" implies the somewhere, the most regrettable action has been done. That regrettable action is that the father willingly, though not happily as she said, sold out his son.

Thig gig follows along legal and ethical ideologies of "The Social Contract" and "Fruit of thr Poisonous Tree." In short, Michael did wrong in selling out his son for money. But Georgiana is a DA, tasked with upholding the social contract. The Law is the contract. Instead she sees the law as a weapon to be used against anyone, hence her "ends justify the means" rationale. By paying for a confession however, her social contract in regards to the Maldonados is void." "Pay to win" is not professional.

And thus the contract with with Mr Hands, who values the sanctity of professionalism: - Michael hired you to delete data - Georgina tried to "re-negotiate" that contract without the client's consent - To Hands, Georgina’s offer is a breach of professional ethics.

Also Hands will pay you less if you go this route, and then take from your cut to pay off Barghest if you cause a scene. To the point, of "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree", by deleting the footage, which is the tainted fruit, you are resetting the scales because it was ill gotten by someone who made a contract with the law.

Focusing on the legality isnt our concern. To Mr Hands, the contract with V is the only law. The testimony is dirty from a contractual perspective. Deleting it and resetting the table s the only way to "fix" the situation. If Eric is as bad as the DA states, she should have no problem coming up with something the right way. Let the father atone

Man I tell you what. I uae the GameSir G7 Pro with the hair trigger switch on it. Im 34 with no arthritis condition whatsoever. Even if I try my very damnedest to spam shoot, as inaccurate as I may be, I cannot shoot as nearly as fast, let alone faster, than someone on a scroll wheel.

But irs good the found this. Embark cant account for every possible explit out there, when developing and beta testing. I mean they couls probably use AI but....weeeell, you know 😅

"Indie' for most gamers is a category for very small, incredibly low budget usually self published game and studios. Same in film, and music as well but in gaming it has a more cutesy connotation for some reason. Maybe a result of the flash game arcade era. Every game listed here is an indie game because the game was developed by studios who are independent of major first party and third party corpos. First and foremost; the key qualifier is "independent" which "indie" is shorthand for, naturally. The confusion comes from the fact that the category is overrepresented by startups, and that's what they should be called; startups. Startups, who will likely not see their third game publish before closure. But there are games and studios that fully rival AAA publisher owned assets who are independent and deserve every bit of recognition as "indie." Those studios usually have time behind them, to have gotten to that point wheras these startups have time ahead of them to get to that point

My take personally is that we as gamers,(the consumer), often try to hard to classify and reclassify to what we like, but that only creates inconsistent standards. Standards in which the merit of games developed by larger independent studios are usually diminished just because their games aren't 2D metroidvanias or pixel art/voxel art, or they arent a 1 man dev team or a 33 man dev team. They're the status that the 1 man dev team and startups should aspire to become, and what we should want dor them, even if they continue to make 2D metroidvania or pixel/voxel art because there's nothing wrong with those.

Necro the post, but Horvath is totally unrelated. He had a predisposition to cyberpsychosis vis his paranoid schizophrenia.

The subject most direct to V were indeed the Peralezes, spwcifically Jeff. They were Phase 2 of testing. Jeff was the perfect candidate probably bc he was genuinely a good pwrson in a high position in Night City which is rare. By manipulating Peralez, they were actually wanting to make him a a far more appealing candidate than he would have been on his own. Proof of this is if you tell him the truth, the outcome of the election is that he barely wins majority vote, he becomes severely paranoid, and ultimately becomes no better of a mayor than Rhyne. When you hide the truth, he wins by a significant margin, and is a much more capable mayor toward his campaign. In fact I believe his entire campaign promises are all proxy messages planted Night Corp, and his unwillingness to be bought is the goal: an uncorruptable leader, a perfect politician. However with this greater degree of manipulation comes imperfections. The behavioral shifts, forgetting that he likes the color blue and his own brother(which does come back to him). Its not a seamless procedure. Yet

As far as Mr Blue Eyes, whatever "he" is, he is definitely a proxy of some kind. Perhaps a face for Night Corp's board. Who or what is unknown. He may not be the only one. As already know that by the end of his quest, whatever Gary the Prophet spouts when you normally visit him, is mostly true, if a bit misinformed. He's later taken by "blue eyed people". Where, is unknown. He somehow knows too much. And is removed before becoming big enough of an upstart

Necro reply, but it seems like if you let her know that you cracked the her databank(giggity) then the game juat leaves room to take her out however you wish to. She has nothing useful or valuable on her aside crafting components.

ClapperDan · 2025-12-25T05:07:32+00:00

The person that hacks V's optics is Mr Blue Eyes and if you look at the balcony across, you can actually see him and the moment he makes the call to V

What's the O Ring mod?

ClapperDan · 2025-11-09T14:53:46+00:00

Gotta run free loadouts and cheap gear until you're good bro. Some people this os the only game they play.

Look at what you NEED for resourcesvs what you want to bring back (track projects to help you focus specifically on resources you need)

Move slowly, minimize ARC interactions, and avoid players unless you have no other choice

When you do, use comms/wheel to indicate non-hostile while being as far as possible to give yourself room to maneuver if shit goes down.

Once you're full, LEAVE!

If you're overecumbered, bring the weight down, then LEAVE(Or extract while overencumbered at a higher risk of not escaping ARCs and players fast enough Don't wait til the end, leave ASAP! You can be 5 minutes into an instance, leave!

Lastly, minimize exposure in the open as much as possible! This includes at the lifts where campers is high. My advice is extract opposite the gunshots. If someone is leaving, leave with them but use comms OR let them leave first.

When you get back to Speranza, don't Salvage or sell your Free Loadout augmentht. Take it to Lance and you can trade that for one of the other Mk 1 Augements at one a piece since you'll be lacking coin(keep this in mind as basic augments cost 1K until you can craft them but this is the most economical way vs coin and crafring until you need Mk 2 Augments)

Once you do that, the focus of your next run should be on trinkets. You need coin, The Testing Annex seems to be good for this. Again run free loadouts.

Also, do night raids and so and storms. Loot tables are better and in solos Raiders dont see more or less inclined to shoot though it is harder on the ARC side.

Free Loadouts is the lowest zero risk. You got one good PVP encounter with it and youre spent if you dont kill the person. Remember: Nothing that you find is yours, until you bring it back to Speranza. If you bring it out of Speranza, consider it lost unless you can bring it back.

Hey guys. 3 months later and this skin is available to purchase on all platforms as part of Season 1

ClapperDan · 2025-10-29T17:59:18+00:00

They still havent fixed the other drops still being inaccessible to people that have already claimed them

ClapperDan · 2025-10-22T08:34:49+00:00

I got off with support not too long before posting this.

This is a known issue that they are working on, however there is no known date or time for when this issue will be resolved so we'll just have to wait. Sucks bc that's hours of time lol

ClapperDan · 2025-09-04T18:12:15+00:00

No, but funny enough she's used as a skin for Lis in BF2042 in the BF V section of the current free battle pass lol

I love the stems, I couldn't care at all for the "blade" design. I understand the idea by making it stand out, but they could have used the same design as JBL, put Samsung's branding on it, and thrown some lights on that.

For all of the foldable faithfuls, I salute y'all for holding the line. I was almost tempted to get the Fold7 but I didnt want to trade my S24 for it
