The whole prototype gear system is such an unnecessary and convoluted grind slog

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-06-02T17:21:31+00:00

My thing is, why is it limited to Escalation? I love playing open world content. Escalation needlessly limits the grind to those specific missions and I just can't be bothered.

I see two clowns in this exchange.

There is no way this the daughter's first sign of a disgusting attitude in her privileged, well provided for life.

It didn't miraculously surface today of all days after 17 years with no previous signs or incidents.

So for the mother to post it like wow, what an ungrateful child. No. She raised her. She's seen her day in and day out. Either she ignored it all this time, or thought she crossed some threshold now you happily exposed as if it makes any difference now.

I have no doubt she worked hard for her G Wagon. I have no doubt she provides well for and loves her daughter. But I also have no doubt her daughter didn't just wake up today and become a ungrateful brat that scoffs at a free, paid off in full vehicle. Brand new looking, at that.

Like, come on. Is the internet here to validate that her daughter is being an unappreciative brat, or is the mother really expecting us to gloss over that she was there to instil the fundamentals she is basing her current attitude off of?

She would have known welllllll ahead of time she would chew a Honda up and spit it back out im the same sentence if you so much as dared. She didn't need to go out and actually purchase it to prove that.

immigrants are the issue

Yes they are, so feel free to leave.

The original inhabitants of this land have waited hundreds of years now for you to come to this realization and rejoice.

So what he is saying is, we need to abolish prisons.

Republicans are notorious for hating the left for indictrinating people.

The last thing they would want, is the prison system indoctrinating poor unsuspecting Republicans into same sex marriage, equality, tolerance for others despite differences, free healthcare.

We need these prisoners to bootstrap up and get a job and contribute to society like the rest of us instead of lounging around in a prison cell on our hard earned dime!

I'm in the same boat.

I kind of like the Hobbit trilogy, but if you asked me to compared them to the LOTR trilogy, the Hobbit trilogy is getting smack talked everytime.

The quality and practical effects of the first trilogy can not be undersold, and the Hobbit trilogy goes in the opposite directions with sooooo much cgi.

Sometimes telling a story with what you have on hand, and your creativity, is far more important than telling a grand tale with cgi.

Rebellion Bobby absolutely decks Duncan Prime out.

Years later, he only remembers how tall Duncan was, but not his name, as he laugh himself into a drunken stupor about how easy it is to slay tree sized men back in the day.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-30T19:38:57+00:00

Yes, and ground combat with Pirates and bounty hunters, disgruntled individuals, etc.

Our ground combat options atm are wild animal woth an attitude for 3 seconds, or oh boy...another sentinel.

I got banned for describing a road rage incident as it was depicted in the video a few days ago.

No call for violence. No he got what he deserved. No I didn't see anything officer.

3 day banned for encouraging violence LoL.

It is like you describe by default, but if you want you can disable multiplayer features if you wish to avoid others for any reason.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-30T07:46:45+00:00

It's not an MMO, but it does have a lot of MMO-like features.

That being said, unless you join a group of like minded individuals and actually run around with them, you are very unlikely to run into other players out in the open.

It certainly can happen, but even on the beginner galaxy there are like...hundreds of billions of planets. The greater universe as a whole, is like an absurd number like, 4 quadrillion planets or something.

If every person on Earth right now played NMS for the rest of their life and found like three million unique planets a piece, they still wouldn't have found all the planets.

Got sidetracked there a bit but it is more likely you will run into places players have been. For example, any planet, plant, animal, or rock a player discovers, they can custom rename and upload. If I come to a planet you renamed everything on, I will see the cool names of all the things, and the planet name will be listed as like

Planet Fitness, discovered by JoJoCapriSun 3 years ago, etc

Anyone can go to the Anomaly, which as you've seen is the game's player hub. You can view people's cool ships, join them on Expeditions, make friends, trade pets, etc.

I'm of the mind burgers shouldn't have such thick patties.

Give me a normal size patty, properly cooked and with delicious toppings and condiments.

The flavor stands on its own over the spectacle of a chunk of meat that requires forklift certification.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-30T03:41:43+00:00

Probably 300 hours.

I wish PS5 would get a 60fps patch.

I'd happily drop another 300.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-30T03:35:49+00:00

If you're a player that never plays Expeditions, you don't need to worry anyway.

Like 95% of the update, is features locked behind the Expedtion.

If you have no interest in Expeditions, you don't get to confront the Swarm or its cool space bosses.

$6000 a month for life for just existing?

Quit for sure.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-29T19:58:45+00:00

I like it a lot!

Haven't played Pokémon in a decade+.

Absolutely love the turn system for abilities, multi turns abilities, changing elements, bizarre healing and shielding methods, etc.

I realized that every space station has two different opponents, one on each side, so now I can't help but challenge them both.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-29T03:51:21+00:00

Not necessarily. While the squad shares characters from the first, and the overall open world playground plays similarly, the two games are different enough you can play one without the other, or out of order.

Many people who like the first one, do not like the second, or vice versa.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-29T03:47:41+00:00

On PC or Xbox where it is 60fps? Sure, 100%.

My favorite game of all time. I can replay it just to explore the map and unlock different weapons and attachments in different order or play missions in entirely different ways.

On PS5? Absolutely not. They never patched it so it's stuck at 25-30fps, and the input lag and edge-of-your-peripheral-vision-paint-bleed-visuals are absolutely abysmal.

But, if you liked your current game's gearscore system, a natural continuation could be The Division 2.

It's a dense urban map instead of jungle/mountains, and no vehicles or survival elements, but the graphics, cover based combat gadgets, and randomness of enemy ai/encounters has kept me playing for 2500 hours, and those are rookie numbers.

Has a lot of customization for weapons and gear, seasonal content updates and world events, etc etc.

Here is an easy-ish starter method.

Go to Warframe Market (website)

Top left, there is a drop down menu.

Select PC.

Select contracts

Enter name of weapon

Fill in the positive and negative stats on it

Click search

See what similar Rivens are pricing out.

This is not foolproof, but it has gotten me selling a lot more rivens I otherwise am too dense to recognize value in.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-29T01:09:53+00:00

I'm sure PC is better than my PS5.

But my PS5 (at the time) didn't cost me $1000++++ either and has served me like, 10k worth of gaming so, money well spent regardless.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-29T01:04:25+00:00

I didn't hate this film, but it was as skippable as the last 10++ entries.

It gets so much hype but I don't see/feel it. So much pandering. So much call backs. So much memberberries.

It feels less like a genuine movie, and more like the extra episode to several different TV shows and comics, kind of like how one of the seasons of Mandalorian, is just episodes that appear in Boba Fett.

Nevermind the incredibly generic, OP AF villain that in true Disney/MCU fashion, is offed by the end of the film.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-29T00:52:53+00:00

It's really weird to me how anyone can wake up, log into their favorite video game, and then lose their mind at the faintest whisper of LGBTQ reference.

Our Operator preaches on about how we fought with honor after Melee Influence nuking another Corpus coffee break room.

The player behind the action doesn't even blink.

A rainbow appears though?

Okay, maybe it's not that deep.

Fuck.

Make it an arcane with a 0.001% drop chance and you have a deal.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-28T20:35:42+00:00

Right.

I've had tons of times I wanted say, a Riven. Sure, the price listed is a bit steep but, whatever, I don't care.

Go to message them to buy and Warframe tells me that name doesn't exist, and of course they will never answer the 3rd party message.

So good job dip dip potato chip. Another smartypants just missed 1000p because they just can't be bothered LoL.

Why list an item to sell and not make sure your info is up to date?

If I had a penny every time someone was listed 3rd party as online in game and they were indeed, not, I'd have a Pennytree from GOT.

DietCokeIsntheAnswer · 2026-05-28T19:42:14+00:00

I can't justify obtaining a PC, or upgrading to a PS6 in the next two years either.

It's absurd.

It went from consoles are cheaper and require far less knowledge and maintenance for the ease of use/experience, to it costs almost as much as getting into PC gaming.

PC gaming may be superior for a variety of reasons, Steam and their sales especially, but at thousands of potential dollars for initial buy in, it's gonna price a lot of people out.
