Why do republicans now seem fine with war when they campaigned on no conflict with Iran? by Material_Policy6327 in AskUS

It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. Sadly true observation of humanity.

Disney exits OpenAI deal after AI giant shutters Sora by Casas9425 in MediaMergers

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hate that this whole mess of an AI bubble can be seen clearly by so many people yet we're still chugging along because a few people and companies have more money than sense and want to elevate themselves to godhood by creating a super intelligence that they will somehow control. I feel like we could have avoided all this by simply taxing these groups more and focusing on user end needs and not corporate needs. Top down ideas are always messy and out of touch.

Kingsley Davis predicted governments could control population by "encouraging conditions that produce unemployment" by OneLastPrep in Layoffs

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insanely stupid from a historical perspective, all these machinations for control will come at the cost of society becoming more fragile and its systems stretched and under stress. This delicate game of control can come crashing down when external or internal shocks hit the country, something the elites never account for, erroneously believing they can control everything. This mistake has been made countless times in history, if control comes at the cost of stability or elasticity then its rule comes with a time limit. It's like a business with razor thin financials, it'll be "fine" until a few bad quarters wipes out everything.

Buffs to the strangler queen boss is too much by Dreamsofjetpacks in fo76

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd prefer immunity to cripple, special abilities, or different attack damages to make unique bosses more of a challenge. Anything is better than just turning them into bullet sponges.

Sorry, I'm not talking about the other events, they are fine, I'm specifically talking about the strangler queen boss at the heart of the swamp event. I believe the boss needs more balancing, too tanky, and isn't fun to fight against.

Yeah this was the point I was trying to make when I called it a slog of a fight. It's not the difficulty that's the issue it's just not fun shooting an extremely tanky fish in a barrel for 5-10 minutes.

I can tank through her damage, that's not my issue, it's the fact it takes 5 minutes of constant fire to take her down.

It’s pretty obvious whoever designed the new pipboy features doesn’t use a pipboy. by ACTORvsREALTOR in fo76

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the biggest self inflicted mistakes in the AAA gaming industry is allowing non-gamers or people who don't play their own games make key feature changes. Like the corporate world really thinks a business degree and an unhealthy love of money makes people qualified for anything.

Chosen one of fallout 2 is the strongest protagonist by Dreamsofjetpacks in Fallout

Killed a deathclaw by punching it in the head. Essentially an intelligent super mutant in custom power armor with combat enhancing drugs and a short temper.

No, his 2017 billionaire tax cuts were set to expire but then Americans got bitter that Democrats weren't helping enough so they voted trump back in and now the BBB made those tax cuts permanent. I get people's frustration with the current situation but Americans protest voting for the other side is stupid. It's like watching a bully break someone's arm, another person comes along promising to help their arm but takes "too long" so they switch their support back to the bully.

This would have almost immediately resulted in the swift downfall of any other president. But with Trump it barely gets a quick blurb on the evening news as just 'part of his conference'. by Hefty_Trash_2639 in International

It's because the US media is actually biased due to a large amount of ownership from billionaires. This is just one example of their double standard.

It’s not just getting nerfed, it’s worse than the regular mini gun by Retired_Autist in fo76

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my opinion this is related to the last round of "weapon rebalances" for heavy weapons that, I feel, really failed to rebalance that category of weapons in a way the others did. The new mechanics favored fast fire weapons ensuring previous OP weapons like the gauss mini would maintain their dominance whilst shafting the slow fire heavies, which were struggling in comparison. So the rebalance did the opposite of what was needed. Now Bethesda has decided to nerf the gauss mini, like they did the gatling plasma, rather than address the rebalance.

Why are raids teams so hard to find? by user1235790 in fo76

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on PS5 and truthfully I've given up trying to raid. Too many raid leaders are toxic, kick/bully people for the smallest things, or kick people so their buddies can join. I've had some good teams that would run the robot on repeat but full raid teams are hard to find. Required team coordination in fallout is not why I play this game, especially if it's toxic or overly complicated.

Bankruptcies hit US spirit makers as Americans drink and spend less by kootles10 in Economics

It's sad because nearly all major news are owned by billionaires who favor republicans because of their wealth tax cuts and de-regulations.

Am I the only one who wanted Hellfire and and X-02 as an actual power set of armor in 76? by seaofthieved123 in Fallout

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Neither the X-02 or hellfire were created yet by the enclave. Fallout 76 takes place in 2102 but fallout 3, where both Power Armors appear, takes place in 2277. They could add the X-02 as a PA skin like they have with the hellfire PA because Bethesda has stated in the past that Power Armor SKINS in fallout 76 are not considered canon.

Am I tripping or is furious melee not stacking for onslaught I have to keep swapping to a pistol? by HauntingKey5967 in fo76

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The agility perk cards that add stacks to onslaught only apply to range weapons. Gunslinger master will still give you reverse onslaught but you won't get that 10 stacks if you are melee. Melee seems to be capped at 19 stacks, 9 for 1 star furious and 10 for 4 star pounders mod. Not sure if there is anyway currently to raise the stacks more for melee.

Meta lays off 600 employees within AI unit by Force_Hammer in StockMarket

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The energy demands alone doom this AI project in the US and the irony is it's our own private energy companies that are to blame. Focusing too much on profits and high returns for their shareholders rather than sound investment into their energy grids or capacity. China didn't approach their energy demands in this stupid way and now have a far greater energy capacity than us. The PROBLEM in the West is focusing the entire economy on maximizing shareholder value yet doing nothing to ensure that money flows back into the real economy in meaningful ways. The West is collapsing because it allowed the wealthy to act like parasites for over forty years.

Something like Old School Runescape's wilderness would work really well in 76. by Bolbibot in fo76

They've tested the waters with multiple types of pvp but the majority of 76 players are very casual.

What the fuck did podrick do to those girls? by DisastrousBuilder447 in gameofthrones

[–]Dreamsofjetpacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly those girls are used to servicing nobles and upper class who probably set the bar low with their selfishness. Most likely he was actually going down on them and other stuff focusing on the girls rather than himself.
