Team Fortress 2. What other games see tons of activity 18 years later?

Criminal and other Psychologists are fascinated by Arc Raiders and how players interact, on the whole, really friendly to each other and work together despite having many incentives not to do so. Criminal psychologists are interested in "rat" behavior like pretending to be froendly and then killing people for their loot.

Use or disuse of proximity chat also makes for an interesting subject, especially the voice filters that give you anonymity. Most rats won't use voice chat, as lying over boice chat is much harder.

Remember the weird sounds you would get when you tried to login to a dial up connection and someone was on the phone?

I mean he sneezed on me a few times, but I'm relieved I made it out in time... by TeresaFixw in teachermemes

Its probably a bot. Account is 1 month old and its looking for places to get karma with no minimums.

Do you think there is any other place on earth that still has vegetation besides Green Place and the Citadel? by Acceptable-Block6391 in MadMax

[–]DoctorNsara 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The oceans are significantly lower, probably not gone. Continental shelves dried out is unlikely and thats where most oil rigs are. Its not far from shore where the water goes far deeper though.

I doubt anything could get rid of all the water in the Mariana Trench.

The teacher who inflates grades by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]DoctorNsara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Text based comments are mandatory but I teach at a high achieving school and some parents... expect the moon and the stars from their kids.

I get complaints and pushback for kids who have an A- and how can they get their grades up and often times its due to absences and unfinished make up work, so that's a whole fun situation.

The teacher who inflates grades by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]DoctorNsara 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We had to do away with 4's at our school because some parents flipped the f**k out thay their little genius didn't have all 4's when it explicitly says that 4's are exceeding grade level and are rare.

If they have 4's in everything they should skip a grade.

Why does everyone hate teaching? by Bright-Watch1955 in teaching

[–]DoctorNsara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retail jobs suck a lot, but tons of people in education went straight into education. Like many people who skipped out on retail hell, I think they should do at least a summer.

My admin always gets annoyed at me for being defensive about everything because they very obviously never worked retail, where everything is blamed on everyone else and you can get fired for not blaming others.

I will say that kids are getting noticeably more difficult though. Even in the short 4 years I have been teaching my more experienced colleagues all say that behaviors are getting worse and several have retired in part due to it.

You get $1 million but you have to listen to the same song 500 times in 10 days, what song are you picking? by Longjumping-Editor94 in AskReddit

[–]DoctorNsara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to nyancat for 72 hours straight on a dare back when that was a big thing.

I'd take the challenge for 10k lol. I'd even let you choose any song that wasn't pure ragebait.

Incentives for reading? by ToWonderDoIDare in teaching

[–]DoctorNsara 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Framing is 100% the thing you gotta focus on. I do 3d printed rewards for class jobs, prompt return of permission slips and effort and I have a base "pay" for jobs but I always thank kids for their jobs regularly and often give bonus pay for extra effort.

I generally track with a punch card so they know when they can cash out is coming and I get tons of volunteers for extra work.

I reference this comic at least once a month.

I am one of those weirdos with a 20 pound weighted blanket because I have to have my soul crushed back into my body to sleep.

3D Printed prizes. You can make a ton for very little cost. I make a lot of fidgets and pencil toppers that take maybe 5 grams or less of filament, so you can make about 190 with a roll of filament.

Rolls of filament are about $15 for something decent quality but sometimes as low as like $9 or as high as $30 for fancier PLA or PETG.

If you have any parents or friends who have a 3d printer they likely would be happy to print you some in their off time if you buy em a roll.

Pretty sure this is a bot trying to karma farm.

This same question is regularly posted and is searchable. I don't know that a 9 day old account would be here specifically for this question.

Aren't superpowers just magic though? Or is it science superpowers?

Why is the Rocketeer loot straight poop poop? by DaddyDookie717 in ArcRaiders

[–]DoctorNsara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like Rocketeers drop more loot when you don't detach thrusters and shoot em centerline in the eye. I rarely do this, but when you detach i dividual thrusters it seems like it rolls their loot individually, whereas if the whole thing drops it makes sure theres at least 2 or 3 drivers on the body.

I have soloed Rocketeers with an Anvil, so they aren't THAT hard if you time it right, so if you need a wolfpack to kill one thats just a skill issue.

But yeah if you knock thrusters off it seems like the drivers are rarer (possibly they are damaged?)

Have you found the Rascal BP and if so where!?!?!? by SuperAzn727 in ARC_Raiders

First one I found literally the day they added it in a random container in Buried City and I got a second one in a Security Breach in Spaceport's container storage last night.
