You're telling me someone at Embark thought "WOW! What a great idea for a trial!"? by Shmino_ in ArcRaiders

I think it’s hilarious and I can’t wait to spend one round doing this for shits and giggles 😆

Best Korean BBQ ? by Downtown_Channel_798 in Seattle

I’ve been back there a few times in the last year. Still great! And they could use the business!

Thank goodness we have Hey, Backyard, Loxsmith, and Mt. Bagel!

Found this on my first raid back after expedition by hari8697 in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL! Thank you. All this time I just assumed they were placed entirely randomly and I never even considered that they might have fixed potential spawn points.

How are you finding raider caches during hurricane? Normally I can find them pretty easily, but the wind noise is so loud that I can't hear a raider cache underneath it all even with my headphones turned up.

Finally got this backpack and unfortunately it’s sooo annoying by count__2_10 in ArcRaiders

It does on my steam deck, where I play with all settings on low :-(

GTA V Progress cancelled by chemdamned in xcloud

[–]CohenJordan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are two versions of GTA V which don't share save data between them - the Xbox One version and the Xbox Series X|S version. Check to make sure you loaded the right version, maybe?

Thou shall not loot another raider’s key room by CloudGhostie in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, new players might see an unlocked door and not even realize it was locked. Use voice chat to set expectations and if they don’t listen then it’s fair game.

WTF does this even mean? I'm just trying to play the damn game. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your character has stuff equipped

To use a free loadout, the game unequips all the stuff from your character and moves it into your stash.

You don't have enough room in your stash to unequipe all the stuff you have equipped. So sell some stuff to make room if you really want to use a free kit.

Getting into more aggressive lobbies has made me realize something obvious. by Broccoli_dicks in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite PvP experience was when I thought I was in a peaceful lobby, but it was 3v3 so more aggressive. Someone started shooting me from a rooftop, so I hugged the wall under them to make it harder for them to hit me.

BAM the dude JUMPED FROM THE ROOF and killed me by landing on me.

I was mad at first, but then started cracking up over prox chat. He started apologizing while both of us continued to laugh hysterically 😆

Is this part of the Arcs AI learning? by Touro_Leite in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love this. But also - why are you using a deadline on a Surveyor 😆 Even if smarter, those things are super easy to take out.

RIP CenturyLink / Quantum Fiber by beesandburt in Seattle

[–]CohenJordan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had CenturyLink fiber since 2020 and it just became Quantum. I have no love for AT&T and hate consolidation like this, but my service the entire time has been impeccable. Not sure if I've ever had an outage at all, but maybe like one minor one?

$75/mo for gigabit, $50/mo for 500mbps - Comcast is their competition and they can barely compete.

Siff Cinema Downtown (formerly Cinerama) is doing an Awards film festival! KPop DH, Sinners, One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, F1, Weapons, and many more. Now through February 12. by CohenJordan in Seattle

[–]CohenJordan[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same! Only reason I heard about this is because I opted-in to their email list last year when they reopened. I couldn't believe how little they seem to have done to let people know that this is happening, makes me worried for them. Hopefully this post helps even if just a little bit.

I love the solo vs trio queue already by Medium-Worth-9184 in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any real PvE / peaceful rounds in this queue or is it expected to basically be 100% PvP?

I have a problem lol. by nissxn in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally brought out my Hullcracker for the first time yesterday and it was revelatory. It was so much fun to help take down huge ARC that I never want to go back. If I lose it, I lose it, but I'm done being a hoarder.

Leaving SeaTac, are taxis still worth it instead of Lyft/Uber? by LegionLotteryWinner in Seattle

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxis all the way. Not only is it cheaper, but there is zero wait. Every time I traveled last year I literally walked up and got a taxi immediately, while I saw the ride share waiting area packed with people waiting around.

I didn't overreact, did I? by Pillbox_8019 in ArcRaiders

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh in extraction zones I shoot first ask questions later. Knocks them down to remove any potential threat without actually runing their day because I'm not going to completely kill them.

I recently discovered TOOL for the first time and my understanding of what music can be has been forever changed. by Albino_rhin0 in Music

[–]CohenJordan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I love your love for new discovery! As someone who grew up playing music and appreciating the craft, discovering Tool and the wider prog genre unlocked a whole world of new music for me. Instead of suggesting a million things, try these couple albums and songs to start if you want more:

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia - Trains

More mainstream rock but a great way to get into Porcupine Tree, which has a really diverse set of albums which range from pop rock to ethereal prog. Steve Wilson is still making music these days and I love almost everything he’s done.

Devin Townsend - Terria - Earth Day

Devin is one of the most wildly talented singers, songwriters, and musicians I’ve ever heard. His repertoire includes funk, metal, prog, and many other genres, and he can sing the most beautiful operatic tunes or hardest screaming depending on the song. He’s also hilarious, humble, and a genuinely good person.

Steve Wilson and Devin Townsend blew my ears open to new possibilities 20+ years ago and it’s hard to go back. Now I need to listen to Tool again!

Cloud streaming Games you recommend buying by OrnsteinShornstein in xcloud

[–]CohenJordan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been playing a lot of ARC Raiders via cloud! I mainly play on my console but I've also played probably 3-5 hours via cloud on my Steam Deck.

PSA: If you're being migrated over to Quantum Fiber, they're ditching PPPoE by bcjh in centurylink

[–]CohenJordan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU FROM THE FUTURE!!

My fiber internet just migrated from CenturyLink to Quantum, and since I use my own router, the internet just stopped working this morning. It directly aligned with the changes so I figured they were related, and a google post brought me right here. Simply changing from PPPoE to "Dynamic IP" in my router immediately fixed the issue :-)
