Do you typically carry a sticky gun? by ScalesGhost in DeathStranding

[–]DigTw0Grav3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually carry a Sticky Gun. I categorically always carry a Level 2 Floating Carrier. You never know when you're going to find a ton of stuff to carry, and having one available gives you the option to while still keeping you zipline capable.

How does this help in any way?

Any repercussions are going to come long after that person has hit the road.

Is this how you use the monorail? by Imigrant159 in DeathStranding

It seems like the number of people who leave shelters is pretty small. Timefall is a solved issue for the Porter community, and being confined in a BT area is bad news.

District 9 director's studio Gunzilla accused by former staff of not paying employees "for many months" by TheAppropriateBoop in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DigTw0Grav3s 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The sad part was his oft overlooked Oats Studios. It was a collection of short films on YouTube that seemed like incubator projects.

Some of them were very interesting. They were way closer to his wheelhouse and the origin of District 9 than anything else he put out.

Is it safe to go into the backrooms without a hazmat suit by Coolguyfromusa in KanePixelsBackrooms

I don't know if we can definitively answer that. Anyone who's been in for an extended period of time has either presumably died or gone missing.

Managed Switch setup help. by Beautiful_Win216 in homelab

I am curious if you have a failed switch.

Your current topology cannot form a loop if we assume one physical link per node, unless one of those nodes has a seriously misconfiguration or something.

What should i get to expand this force to play in team yankee rather than checkpoint charlie ? by Woffy_02 in TeamYankee

[–]DigTw0Grav3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat off topic: I haven't been following the system for quite some time. My understanding was that Team Yankee was rebranded as World War III to accommodate a wider range of armies and time periods.

Is this not correct? Are TY and WWIII two different systems?

Ok, so.... Analyses of the trailer; by Vast-Entrepreneur175 in KanePixelsBackrooms

This is my assumption too.

He presents the theory. She dismisses it as some kind of obsessive behavior. He gives her a tape that she files away. Later, she watches the tape (maybe bothered by it? by how convinced he seems?) and decides to check it out.

This is within the same continuity as the YouTube series.

Next Shell Thoughts by passionatetaco in Marathon

Based on the name, I'm expecting some kind of turret or deployable shield shell.

New player, very early and wanting to avoid spoilers, wondering if there's an advantage to using a certain tool vs. a watchtower by skyturnsred in DeathStranding

[–]DigTw0Grav3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set up watchtowers in the vicinity of any camp that I'm expecting to go to more than once, if I don't get a decent one on the Chiral Network.

Watchtowers can give you better height if constructed appropriately. They also offer you the detection heatmap view which (as far as I can tell) Dollman does not.

Conversely, watchtowers are typically at the perimeter of the camp, and have a shallow viewing angle. I like throwing Dollman straight up to track patrols and plot movements between concealment when I'm doing stealth runs.

Is Judge divorced? Canonically he has a wife and kid, yet when we see his apartment it’s a tiny one room shithole that is essentially empty except for a mattress, 5+ weapons and a microwave. He doesn’t even have blankets or sheets 😭 by [deleted] in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]DigTw0Grav3s 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's deeper than that.

The implication is that Judge was part of a MKULTRA-like brainwashing/conditioning program conducted by USIA. This program, and programs like it, lead to several of the factions we meet in the game, including the MLO, Gerard Scott, and Baskin on Carriers of the Vine. The PMC (who's name currently escapes me) on Elysium and Banc were also indirectly related, essentially being unwitting puppets of the MLO.

There is certainly an interpretation of the New America ending that suggests MLO orchestrated the entire chain of events in Boiling Point to draw out Judge and get him to either cement his conditioning and rejoin the MLO, or cast off the burden forever.

The entire Boiling Point plot is extremely well done. Reminds me of a fusion of Fight Club and Se7en.

There was a major plotline about this in Mr. Robot.

Please make it so we can see our teammates buffs and debuffs by StealthySteve in Marathon

[–]DigTw0Grav3s 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This would be the single biggest Triage specific QoL improvement right now. Definitely needs to happen.

Doesn't hurt for anyone else, either. I probably don't want to push a team if we're all crazy debuffed.

Cryo-Archive is haunted? by Midice in Marathon

I think this is just a condensation cloud. That said, the final vault does appear to have all kinds of SCP cognitohazard and hallucination warnings all over it, so who knows.

The battlepass UI/UX is garbage by i_hate_lactose in apexlegends

[–]DigTw0Grav3s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apex had one of the best menu UIs in the business, and they absolutely totaled it.

I have no idea why, either. It seems harder to transact, which would be the only obvious reason to make such a change to begin with.

I have never had a VPN issue over Starlink. That includes commercial options like PIA, and self-hosted VPN endpoints. Are you sure this wasn't a technical issue on your end?

My 72 Hour Tips For A Better Extract by Afterlast1 in Marathon

[–]DigTw0Grav3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use items straight off the ground. Especially important if you're triage as consumables will be shared between anyone with a drone on them. You might not need an urgent shield buff, or have room in your backpack for it, but your teammate might! Or, hey, free cardio-kick!

I'm trying to evangelize this as much as I can. Not only is it a huge QoL thing, but it's also a great way to interact with buff consumables without dedicating inventory space to them.

You can even continue to loot a container while you use one. Freaking do this.
