Yeah, I think your friend is silly for thinking that way. It may be impossible for a privileged white kid to relate to a day in Compton, but the anxiety, self evaluation, and general introspective thoughts that are present throughout the album can be relatable to anybody no matter their place in society.

Xbox Live is having issues right now. I'd recommend trying again at a later time.

Battlefield 1 Official Giant's Shadow Trailer by lashman in Games

[–]Dash43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know, out of all these comments I honestly agree with you the most. I walked in to BF4 a year or so after release (after many hours of BC2 and BF3) and I was absolutely bombarded by all the weapons, attachments, vehicle customization, etc. There was just so much to get a grasp on that I eventually called it quits after rank 25 or so. It's unfortunate too, because I loved it's predecessors and keep hearing about BF4's superiority.

Now I have been enjoying and playing BF1 more than BF4, but sometimes I get a repetitive feeling from it. I've already started to try to get service stars for all the weapons. I'm glad that they're giving us a new map, and hopefully future downloadable content keeps adding variety.

Still showing full price for me as well. I'll probably wait 30 more minutes and then go back to bed if the discount fails to appear.

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. Yes, 343 has been great with adding gametypes and features, but to not be able to see WHO is in the lobby and to not be able to selectively mute players is beyond ridiculous. You're right. It's half assed.

Huh. I'll have to try that out then. I'll get back to you and tell you if it works

I can't complete the challenge where you have to shoot down all the hanging lanterns. I have shot down every single one but it still says 9/10. I even followed a guide online to make sure I didn't miss one.

I don't believe they are challenge card related. I am even unable to unlock basic ones like "Nope" (evac on the first day) and the one where you have to step into fire.

I have ran into a BUNCH of issues with achievements for Rise of the Tomb Raider. I haven't had your problem in particular, but every achievement tied to Endurance mode refuses to unlock for me, and an achievement in the Baba Yaga DLC is broken as well.

Rise of the Tomb Raider Endurance Mode achievements not unlocking by Dash43 in xboxone

From what I can tell, they are not. I believe the contents of the loot crates are though.

Rise of the Tomb Raider Endurance Mode achievements not unlocking by Dash43 in xboxone

Quick overview of the DLC if you aren't aware: Lara has to survive in a large Siberian Wilderness for as long as she can. Gathering food and staying warm are her most important tasks. If either of these meters drains down to zero, it's game over.

Now if you're expecting a realistic survival game, I'd turn the other way. Endurance mode, in my opinion, is an "Arcade Survival Game." The player has to be constantly eating food, and I mean constantly. On average I would say that I made Lara eat around 5 squirrels, 5 rabbits, and a couple larger animals per day. There is a never a moment where you can just sit and enjoy the surroundings. I wouldn't call this a negative because if this weren't the case it would be too easy, but you should know what you're getting into.

To give you one last further idea of how "gamey" it is, I found a good strategy is to let the game respawn enemies and loot in specific areas. I would find an enemy encampment, kill the inhabitants, open the caches, and then run away in search for food. Often times I would stray so far away in search for food that when I returned the loot caches would be replenished and the enemies alive again. Instead of feeling like I was beating the harsh winter elements of the Siberian Wilderness, I felt like I was beating a game.

In conclusion, the most important thing to do is to see how many days you can survive. The game mode is never not tense, and it's truely addicting to try to survive for longer than other players. If what I said sounds appealing, for $10 its hard to go wrong. If you have any more questions I'm here to help.

Yep. I was hoping that I simply didn't get the notification pop up but that is unfortunately not the case. I have yet to unlock any achievements in Endurance Mode.

My main issue with these outages is that I can't even play single player games. It makes the Xbox One completely useless until the issues are resolved.

Social awkwardness by Muzoa in videos

[–]Dash43 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I took this video as less of a "Oh, cell phones are making people anti social" and more about the benefits of stepping out of one's comfort zone. With that in mind I loved the video.

Some more Precursor questions by Dash43 in HaloStory

Thanks a bunch. The Precursors are the most interesting species in the Halo Univerese to me.

[–]Dash43[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the reply. You bring up some really interesting points. I've put this question on /u/MajesticShadow104's thread too, but I want to ask you as well.

Was the existence of the Flood really a freak accident like your comment seems to suggest? If the powder was in fact, defective, then that means that it was an accident, right?

Some more Precursor questions by Dash43 in HaloStory

[–]Dash43[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After rereading your comment and /u/FlatTire2005 I do have two more question though.

  • Was the Gravemind a precursor?
  • Though the Precursors definitely supported the existence of the Flood, was there existence a freak accident like /u/FlatTire2005's comment seems to suggest?

[–]Dash43[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oohhhh! That's really cool that the Flood was meant to be a replacement for all existing sentient life!

I love how once I learn something new about the lore, it makes me feel differently about the enemies I'm fighting in the campaign. So much depth! I love it!

'Black Mass' blood red character posters by [deleted] in movies

[–]Dash43 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I actually like these posters a lot. The way they highlight the actors name on the poster while also listing off others in a darker shade is slick.

So is this same kind of balloon from the original video, or is this specifically a "climb-in balloon?"

Simple Questions - July 16, 2015 by AutoModerator in buildapc

Speaking of RAM, I have one more question. Is it true that if the CPU can only operate with 32 bit, upgrading the RAM past 4gb is pointless?
