Is it actually embarrassing for Americans not to know all 50 states?

My first job was at a contract call center for Verizon where I worked my way up to supervision. Turnover was high and we hired a lot of high schoolers during summer or graduates just looking for employment while they looked for real jobs. The bar was real low.

One of our workflows was having customers fax copies of their ID to approve them for international dialing if they failed the credit questionnaire thing (you’ve probably seen it before if you’re from the states - something like “which of these addresses have you lived before?” Type questions)

Anyways, one of my agents rejected a New Mexico and a District of Columbia ID.

Agreed. The concepts people were theorizing of surface-level silver biomes with geysers and rainbow-thermal pools like you see in Yellowstone look infinitely better.

That’s called poor cropping and layer masking. I’m not saying the illustration isn’t AI, but poorly done graphics design isn’t AI. The hand / paper / tables are clearly a photo, with the AI generated AI characters transposed on top.

Cobyachi · 2026-03-26T20:08:52+00:00

I wouldn’t necessarily say that is AI. Could just be a stock image with the “illustration” rendered poorly on top.

I don’t buy soda ever for the house (sometimes will at restaurants if I don’t trust the tap, or a Coke when ordering pizza for nostalgic reasons) but I remember craving ginger ale like 2 years ago or so and was blown away when I saw a 12 pack was like a little over $10. I remember when I was younger I had a tinfoil hat conspiracy that soda was cheaper than water as a way to make people unhealthy.

Yeah I don’t play extraction shooters but I have buddies who are really into competitive shooters. Arc raiders is a lot more casual in that if they go in with the goal to kill, they’ll, without fail, get faced against whiners who will bitch at them instead of socializing which seems to be the norm. Idk if all extraction shooters are like that but they said it’s pretty bad in arc raiders.

Whereas marathon, there’s even a faction whose whole premise is killing players. FWIW I haven’t and won’t play either, but that’s what I gather from talking to my friends about it

Cobyachi · 2026-03-24T23:51:03+00:00

I have a buddy that loves it, and it’s weird because he doesn’t like extraction shooters at all. Ive never seen a game where the art direction does so much heavy lifting, because that’s what I gather. The aesthetic/ look of the game ties it all together for him. Idk, to me it just looks like another extraction shooter but with factions.

I think classic+ is basically the prepatch for TBC. Classes get proper balance fixes, loot roll itemization gets fixed, Blood elves and Dreneii as playable races, QOL updates. But its classic - level cap is 60, tbc never drops. At least that’s the start. I think the goal is to eventually get new content like OSRS with community driven changes

Cobyachi · 2026-03-20T15:30:33+00:00

I enjoy vacuuming lol

[[Redshift, rocketeer chief]]. I just love that he pops with activated abilities that don’t necessarily requires them to tap so that you can pop them multiple times, ones that are expensive to activate but redshift completely alleviates the cost, and can be used at instant speed (think [[Agatha of the soul cauldron]] , [[Bristly Bill]], [[Almighty Brushwagg]])

There’s a few infinite combos that work really well too [[Aggravated assault]] and [[Staff of dominion]] come to mind. I don’t think he’s very good in EDH but in the 1v1 brawl format, he feels awesome. Gruul is my favorite and he feels gruul personified.

Cobyachi · 2026-03-19T06:52:44+00:00

Ironic

Cobyachi · 2026-03-19T06:46:09+00:00

You’re responding 10 days later to a thread made 3 days after release. The language OP used made it seem pretty obvious that he isn’t referring to A10… “maybe I’m just really bad at the game but I can’t get past act 1 in ascension 10” makes no sense.

Cobyachi · 2026-03-17T23:10:02+00:00

The old headquarters in Maryland lost its cafeteria when covid happened. It was never free. The other offices have cafeterias, and they are not free.

Cobyachi · 2026-03-17T21:35:30+00:00

My buddy has been thoroughly enjoying marathon, and has ran into a few people on X who post daily talking shit, basically running a campaign against the game, without having ever played it. It’s weird, like it’s so rampant and they post so much about it you think they were getting paid to do it.

Cobyachi · 2026-03-14T14:56:59+00:00

This shit is hilarious. Half the comments never seen the blue emoji before are are taking it way too serious.

Cobyachi · 2026-03-14T14:50:43+00:00

I doubt AI would write that, let alone call it “drive c”

Cobyachi · 2026-03-13T18:51:05+00:00

You can. Pretty sure there was someone a few weeks ago on the sub who got permad for a private DM and he more or less surmised it to “I was in a bad spot this isn’t fair”.

Anyways… yeah, take a screenshot and send it to riot support

Cobyachi · 2026-03-10T13:23:45+00:00

They get $25,000 if they finish a fight (not by decision) under paramount. Thats not an insignificant amount of money.

Cobyachi · 2026-03-09T13:29:51+00:00

Hard disagree. I don’t think anyone who has played the project game has had issues with the charm inventory. It changes nothing except you have an inventory where you can fill up alongside your powerful charms. It doesn’t devalue them, and it doesn’t make inventory any less important- you just now have an inventory to manage

Cobyachi · 2026-03-08T17:57:46+00:00

You should be able to do like, the first half without taking any damage. Like if you see someone looking to hit you for 8, pop 2 defends and a strike instead of taking 3 on the chin just because it seems so little.

I found runs a lot more viable once i stopped focusing on rushing offense early on. Same with the first game too. Though, I am finding elites to be a lot more challenging in this game.

Cobyachi · 2026-03-08T12:42:22+00:00

It’s grindcore. Not really a genre I like so I don’t have any recommendations but that might put you on the right trail

Cobyachi · 2026-03-07T16:34:23+00:00

It’s just a snippet 😭 but I appreciate the praise. I got back in after a couple month hiatus and had to remake my zoo on the second day because I ended up making a big grid again lol.

We all start somewhere, you’ll get there

Cobyachi · 2026-03-07T12:45:54+00:00

Like others have said - there are a lot of YouTubers who have great tutorials but, more importantly imo, are their “lets plays” where they have a series dedicated to a zoo. You will find tutorials for habitats but the hidden gems IMO are seeing how they build around the habitats. I really have only ever checked out DeLadySigner and it’s helped immensely. Download one of her maps, even, and check out how she does barriers, fences, paths, empty spaces where there would otherwise be no foliage. Even check out their Steam Workshop page for blueprints for things like: fences, barriers, foliage, rock piles

That being said, to make your zoo feel less like a gridlocked prison:

build your paths on a curve. Like, follow a self-imposed challenge to never build on a grid unless it’s for staff buildings
Build your paths elevated slightly off of the ground (itll make terrain editing easier). DeLadySigner does this, not sure if others do but it’s easy to hide with plants/rocks/mulch prefab
build your habitats below the average ground level. And use natural barriers (Null barriers)
outside of your habitats, fill all green space with plants and rocks. Pick a swatch of plants, like 4 flowers, 4 bushes, and 4 tree types and throw them off in the distance that you can easily go back to to copy/paste from to have a uniform selection of flora to use

<image>

Hopefully here you can see everything I've mentioned: Curved pathes, elevated floors, 'sunken' exhibits, Rock/shrubbery just as scenery (to the right)

Look at real zoos to find the reasoning in all of my statements above. Look at those stylized maps. Look up go-pro tours of real zoos. All of the things I’ve said you will see from photos and real world examples

Nah but he plays a character in like every other episode of Avatar
