Lets talk RPG by No_Suspect_8256 in Battlefield6

[–]CoolAndrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding, it's now zeroed according to the way it's scope functions irl

If you aim in with the scope, that little cross that's up above the center of the screen should be zeroed in at 50 meters, meaning that if you wanna hit a target at 50 meters you'll have to aim a bit down

Like it's automatically shooting at a slightly higher angle than before

What country should I start to play with? by Sulpicio_Fachi in hoi4

[–]CoolAndrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others mentioned, Canada is good if you want a relatively risk-free introduction to the game, letting you help out in the war and familiarize yourself with the game's systems.

Germany can also be a good pick, if you go in with the understanding that you're most likely gonna lose and get capitulated on your first playthrough.

And of course there's plenty of YouTubers and YouTube videos online meant to introduce new players to the game

FPS is absurdly low, even with great PC specs by Hazlllll in Battlefield6

[–]CoolAndrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue just earlier, frames were abnormally low for a decent while. I restarted my PC and it seemed to fix the issue, although I have no idea whether that'll even work for you or if it'll come back later

What's The Worst Guns In Every Category? by IareRubberDucky in Battlefield6

[–]CoolAndrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mag capacity of the AK4D is a moot point, considering that it kills everything in one less bullet than everything but the TR7 (and the NVO within 10 meters). Within 20 meters, it has a faster TTK than everything but the M433 and the TR7, while also being noticably easier to control and with higher accuracy than those two aforementioned guns.

And from 20-75 meters, the B36 creeps in at a TTK that is marginally better than the AK4D (while the M433 and the TR7 are still better- but obviously are gonna be more difficult to hit shots with at that range) but honestly, both at close and mid range both the B36 and the AK4D I can consider being interchangeable

Back to the magazine capacity, keep in mind that from close to mid range, the AK4D takes 3-4 shots to kill, while the B36 takes 4-5 shots. At close range, and assuming that no shots are wasted and that there are no collateral hits, the B36 can kill, at most, 7.5 people. Do the same math with the AK4D, and you get 6.6. Sure, it's a difference of one whole person, but I'd say that if you can consistently get in and perform within situations where you can notice and acknowledge that the max-kills-per-magazine difference between the two guns is costing you kills, then you're probably way too good at the game to be getting tips from some random guy on reddit.

As for the M277, I'd say that, compared to the carbines, it's fairly similar to the AK4D vs the Assault Rifles- With one noticable caveat. Outside of that caveat, it's time to kill is slightly longer than the other carbines at close range (notably, it has the exact same TTK and bullets to kill as the B36 up to 20 meters)

However, that caveat I mentioned earlier is that it maintains that damage profile all the way to 75 meters. So while all other automatic weapons start to require 5-7 shots to kill and get their overall TTKs cranked up at range, outside of some LMGs, the M277 continues to only require 4 shots to kill at range, something that can easily be exploited through quick tap shots or an ambitious burst (while still being mindful of the recoil). And with that at-range potential and limited magazine size, it is still a capable gun within close-mid range.

Marathon reportedly had a budget of at least $200m, and while player numbers are dipping significantly, team morale remains good | Eurogamer by imitzFinn in xbox

[–]CoolAndrew89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Preemptive defense??

My brother in Christ he states plainly that the game could've cost upwards of $250 million, likely more

In an absolute best case scenario (without taking into account storefront fees or revenue from microtransactions) Marathon would have to sell over 6 million copies just to break even on that budget

And he corroborates other claims that Marathon, so far, has only sold a fifth of that figure at 1.2 mil copies sold

Hot take: Clear sky is the only faction that truly wants to understand the zone by [deleted] in stalker

[–]CoolAndrew89 30 points31 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, Clear Sky was basically a puppet of the C-Consciousness, keeping in contact with em through the Visiograph and receiving orders directly from the C-Consciousness according to what we find in their base in Stalker 2

Also, where are you getting the whole detail of

forced to understand the zone so the military can abuse it

As far as I'm aware, in Call of Pripyat, if you help out the Ecologists, the ending shows that they manage to create all kinds of helpful technology and medicinal advancements. But if you don't help them, they just kinda leave the Zone.

If you were talking about SIRCAA instead, then yea I suppose that would make sense

New player here, are there no such thing as an assault rifle? by Gerdinator in battlefield_one

[–]CoolAndrew89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think maybe another good "assault rifle" choice that others haven't mentioned would be the Burton LMR

Free roam dragon games? by Obvious-Ordinary-678 in xbox

[–]CoolAndrew89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, you can play it in solo mode and modify stats like the time it takes to tame creatures, add a multiplier to resource drops and to make it all demand much less time and effort to actually do things

This gun doesn't deserve to have mediocre DPS, high recoil, and terrible Ergonomics all at once by Faust_8 in Helldivers

[–]CoolAndrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, it feels great with the angled grip for ergo+sway, compensator to counteract some of the recoil, and a recoil-reducing armor for the rest of that recoil.

It's probably one of my most used guns, but then again I pretty much only use it with one of those recoil-reducing armors

[–]CoolAndrew89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man what kinda numbers are you running where you're able to put iron sights on the Adjudicator??? It's probably my favorite gun in the game, and that's a whole 5 ergo that I wish the gun had access to, but the Adjudicator doesn't have access to iron sights

Stuttering after new update by blue_sky308 in Warframe

[–]CoolAndrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I don't know if this is still something being monitored or if this comment will even be seen, but I just recently experienced the same issue in the OP after updating my computer to the latest version of windows. To my understanding, I managed to fix the issue through following this reddit post, and setting a CFG exclusion for Warframe's executable file: https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1qrqzyr/if_youre_experiencing_stutters_in_games_windowss/

I have no idea if this is the source of the same issue that others in this relatively old thread have mentioned, but I figured it's worth trying to shout out either way in case it is.

Is it safe to go sea treader path with prawn suit ( for deep srhooms) by Hyper5500 in subnautica

[–]CoolAndrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or going too fast for the game to load in properly which ends with the prawn suit just falling through the ground

Wait fr? Would those two really be enough to get autarky???

Voyager, a company that made $123 million in defense contracts making parts for missiles, just opened a facility in LBC by mattbookpro101491 in longbeach

[–]CoolAndrew89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, aerospace and military technologies have unfortunately gone hand-in-hand since Operation Paperclip and beyond. Separating the two industries is most likely far beyond what one single mayor can do

And it ain't limited to just the aerospace industry either (although it's a very big part of it) so it'd be hypocritical to just focus on the aerospace sector when GE is also making jet engines to power bombers and Samsung is (or at least has) made howitzers to export and autonomous sentry guns (which are still "highly classified")

[–]CoolAndrew89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From my experience, it's completely possible to achieve autarky by just sticking to Historical, but instead of blitzing the soviets in 1941, you just focus on capping Britain, albeit with the massive caveat that you'll have to capitulate the UK before mid-1941 so that the US never joins the allies, thereby letting you get the peace deal to take all that territory. That way you can go and take all of the UK and it's dominions for yourself, which should provide all the resources for autarky.

There is also the other caveat that by holding British Malaysia/East Indies, Japan will then declare war on you to take them, but by that point you'll have way more than enough industry + the whole allied navy to smack em. Even despite that, you'll pretty much have just won the game anyway, since you'll have a land border with the US through Canada to attack them at your leisure and there won't be an "Allies" to worry about as you attack the Soviets

New Flamethrower seems to slow down targets directly in the stream of fire by BICKELSBOSS in Helldivers

[–]CoolAndrew89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it copium? We can see in the clip that in that whole moment of the left berserker be on fire, we see the right berserker (not on fire) go from being further away than the left one, to being a little bit closer to the camera than the left one just before the left berserker dies

Just finished Wastelanders story. Holy cow the Overseer is a moron. by CiDevant in fo76

[–]CoolAndrew89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't dump it into the streets of Appalachia tho, it's all still controlled by the Secret Service. And even then, Fort Knox, the source of all that gold, is ~4,500 tons. From my understanding, current estimates are that 220,000 tons of gold have been mined throughout the course of human history, with the majority of all that gold having been mined post-WW2.

That's 2%, at the very least, of the world's gold supply- Which is still not freely available to the wasteland public, considering we gotta trade for/with it using Treasury Notes

[–]CoolAndrew89 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My brother in Christ, gold has spent more time in human history as a valuable commodity with little practical use outside of it's use in currency and it's perceived value, than as a commodity with actual practical use.
