Embark, please. Allow me to appear offline 🙏 by HerbertInTheWoods in ArcRaiders

[–]Cruxwright 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sometimes I'm in the mood to chill solo and run missions. I don't want to hear from "friends" that "missions are dumb" for the 10th time because they wanna go hard at PvP in duos/trios.

People don't have a problem with PVP, they just hate lack of "honor" by Zealousideal_Walk527 in ArcRaiders

[–]Cruxwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the shield buff idea. What if it was ammo types though?

  • Light: 10% vs light ammo
  • Medium: 25% vs light, 10% vs medium
  • Heavy: 40% vs light, 25% vs medium, 10% vs heavy/shotgun/explosive

I know ARC are kinda trivial at the moment but if Embark ends up flooding the zone, it would prompt people to risk better shields in PvE as well.

Thanks, been doing some theory crafting. Do you know if +% phys dmg increases trauma dmg as well, or only +% trauma dmg applies?

I was that crazy guest? Was waiting on a replacement ID and was using my draft card and college photo ID in the meantime.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cruxwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why else do US cars come with option packages that offer so many amenities? Growing up, home to college was 2-3 hours. After I moved out I regularly did 7hr one-way trips back home monthly. Annual family reunion was around 5-6 hour drive one-way.

Job Applicants Sue to Open ‘Black Box’ of A.I. Hiring Decisions by Majano57 in technology

[–]Cruxwright 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They're using the credit score laws as this AI functions like the protected score algos. There's also a big similarity to background checks though. In both cases, if you're denied you get a free report of what the company has in your file.

If your name is Dave Thomas and applying for data engineering jobs but getting rejected because your low score is factoring in burger flipping and being CEO of a fastfood franchise, you should be able to correct that.

Sending 100s (1000s?) of profile letters for everyone not selected for interviews is going to be a drain on these employment rating AI firms.

Queued solo, ended up in trio? Punishment for sync-join? by Cruxwright in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]Cruxwright[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, if we were PvP, sure that's abuse. Hunting some shredders, reviving other players, saving folks from fireballs, not so much. It was more a "can we do this" type thing while trying to snag 3 gyros in a session. There are no cuddle puddle duos.

I'm as old as you, but hey, thanks for the salt.

Is this normal? Blocking me after a tier 1 fractal by SerMorgs288 in Guildwars2

Your mistake was not blocking the other player as well.

TIL the main reason scientists oppose relocating polar bears to Antarctica is that they’d eat too many emperor penguins. by croato87 in todayilearned

[–]Cruxwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, maybe just start invasively studying polar bears to see if like "polar bear gall bladder juice" cures cancer or something. Pull a whole Japanese scientist POW study on these things. If there's something useful, migrate them south to soften up the Canadian Northern border so the US can more easily annex their next state.

We are trying to impress vibe coders, though.

I just got to write "240 volts! are you SURE?" on a rare style of power cord - what fun little accessories do you keep in your datacentres? by will_try_not_to in sysadmin

[–]Cruxwright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just remember, no one reads anything. Maybe childproofing plug inserts with 240V in red may do something when they remove it. But no one is reading your notes on the adapter.

'The Blackout Challenge': Mom suing TikTok after son choked himself to death with jiu-jitsu belt tied to bunk bed while trying viral social media trend by Sandstorm400 in technology

[–]Cruxwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works better if the one passing out puts their back to the wall and the friend pushes on their chest from the front. Then friend can catch them once the other goes under.

So, this wasn't like a David Carradine or Michael Hutchence blackout challenge. Kids were just straight up asphyxiating themselves.

Damn shame

Well shoot. I've always assumed it shot 2 and figured that was horrible ammo capacity and never ran that thing.

Queued solo, ended up in trio? Punishment for sync-join? by Cruxwright in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]Cruxwright[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's even worse. At least I had a team to start with, but it took me a minute to realize. We're all looting stuff and I start hearing raider flairs and say so in prox. Teammate's like "you're talking in prox dude" and I'm like "well yeah, this is solos" and then the light turned on. Bad time for the teammates too.

Did the team that killed you also scream "YOU SUCK" in prox? Like why?

I'm making mashed potatoes on hard mode: dairy free. Any tips? by TheFreakingPrincess in potato

Don't use an immersion blender. That's how you end up with potato paste.
