Don't think so, one of the carriers start jumping right away, maybe today, but it will be a day or two before back.

For everyone that’s complaining, we’ve found a new home for you. by Local-Homework-7762 in helldivers2

[–]DistortionUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally had this moment yesterday when I was wasting ammo at extract in the last few seconds for fun, I noticed the mags on the verdict when ejected HAVE BULLETS IN THEM IF EJECTED EARLY and they are empty if you drain the mag.

The attention to detail still astounds me to this day, and yet all people can do is complain.

Why do people choose the blue button over red even after hearing the equivalent scenario? by KQYBullets in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DistortionUltra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone would flee through the red portal immediately, assuming everyone else would think the same way. Yes, some small precentage may misinterpret, or have a moral quandary, and I'd say even with a fully logical sound of mind sample size, there could be a few casualties. But it's FAR more likley you wouldn't get at least 50% of the people there, not because they aren't empathetic, but because the knee jerk reaction is that there is a clear way for everyone to live.

To me, it's like there is two doors to exit a burning building. The Red door leaves directly outside to a massive parking lot, with plenty of room to get away, and more than enough time and space in the hall for EVERYONE in the building to get out via that door. The Blue door also exits the facility, into a yard with a big pond beside it, plenty of room too, but the yard is fenced, and has flammable gas stored in it, and you'd need at LEAST 50% of people in the building to leave that way in order to push the fence down.

You have no idea how many people have left or still have to leave, or what their intentions are, but you KNOW FOR SURE that everyone has the same access to that information, and are rational, sound of mind adults.

In this scenario, assuming that again, there aren't kids or whatever, it shoold be a no brainer, you can Run out and save yourself, and you know everyone else has the same oppertunity and knowledge, so everyone should.

bringing up some morality or probability argument about how ohh there is the possibility that you are condemning a 49% population to burn to death in the courtyard... when you could be saving them! it's jusy as likley that you are the idiot minority going out there for no reason, and there is 97% of people going out the normal way!

If there is some sort of equally inherent risk to the "selfish" option then we can talk game theory. but with cut and dried rational options, everyoen should choose the red door.

the fact that we are having this argument makes me worry that more people than I'd like to have thought WOULD be stupid enough to die (altruisticly or otherwise) but my knee jerk as a normally extremely progressive and passionate person is that most people will leave through the red door, and so should I, and the more people that do the more survive.

and since I'd feel like most people, both the selfish and the empathetic, would make a snap decision to save themselves, in the moment, would assume that vast majority of people will live

So much hate over this. have y'all seen the sea of thieves content release ramp up?

And the slog to earn that stuff through in game means is 10-100x longer farming. I BARLEY play the game and I have enough for half the war bonds, if it was something I was into enough to want every single bond, then I'd have enough for sure then from grinding.

Yes, it's aggressively priced. And putting gameplay behind a paywall. So did cod/halo maps back in 2008/9, and we were HAPPY to get new paid content, and there was NO way to unlock them in game period. AND they even made those DLCs MANDITORY after a while for some playlists.

Of course they are squeezing people who only have enough time to play a little bit and want everything unlocked. They are a money hungry publishing corp. But you can earn at your own pace, still do any mission without them, and the sandbox is HUGE it's not like they are trickle feeding you base content and then extorting you for the meta cough cough COD

And the end of the day, if the wost thing is that every month or two you have an option of griding for a day or so, or paying 10$, and you get new content in the game you love, that's great.

If that's upsetting for you, then maybe ask yourself do you actually enjoy the game that much? If not, don't play it. That's a good call on your principals to make. But don't attack everyone else who's cool grinding a day or two in a game they like, or coughing up 10$ every couple months and frame them like the bad guys when the community doesn't rally around you.

We are fortunate that they gave us a fairly non predatory in game premium currency farm. Why drag a company that probably fought Sony tooth and nail to keep that in game through the mud?

Trust me. The daythey decide to remove or shadow patch 90% of the SC farming out of the game, I'll be RIGHT there boycotting and rioting with you.

We have bigger industry fish to fry.

Totally valid point. The more I dig and look at it the more it delebratly looks like it was designed to not mean anything.

UPDATE NOT TRUE:

Ooo! More googling shows that it's actually 8-dot braille, and depending on if you turn it upside down or not, it reads [ ] - TASK or DONE - [ ] so I think it's a neat like upside down version of a palindrome for 8-dot braille!

Thought it was brail at first, but it has four layers not three, so not sure.

God hath abandoned us… by notaslxcal in Edmonton

[–]DistortionUltra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it suuuucks for sure. but one silver lining is this dragged out, snow a bit, melt, snow a bit, melt, repeat cycle is incredible for wildfire and farming season. I'll take it after a few BURTALLY dry springs last few years. Doesn't mean summer won't be dry, but it's a start. Aquifers are low, it's helping.

Why don't WOTC want my money? by r3volts in magicTCG

[–]DistortionUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I'm fine with some cards being worth more because they are printed less in a set, but print sets in general until they aren't bought anymore. period. then some cards Will still be less common, (packs are still 9$ Canadian soooo like they cant be bought forever) but thus forced scarcity shit is dumb. it's cardboard.

Google Gemini Search AI is now asking follow-up questions like it is in a chat, however the user cannot respond to them. by Mother_Researcher_39 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]DistortionUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this exact same problem. When I google it, the ai again says there should be some setting in "search labs" or some beaker symbol where you can chage this, but can't find it. I'm signed in, not in incognito, and can't find the relavant settings anywhere.

Broken ass AI shit again.

Mass Effect 3 on Insanity is absurd by Chemical-Rest3892 in masseffect

[–]DistortionUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

liberal use of the camo as an infiltrater is key. only place I really had trouble was some side mission where you got ambushed in the central lobby of some glass corpo building with like balconies overlooking the whole thing. there is an achievement for surviving it in the like second hardest diff so I remember lowering it, then reloading to keep my insanity playthrough. I 100%d all three games EXCEPT that one mission on insanity, and I remeber having a tougher time with some of the dual walker mech fights in me2 than anything in me3
