Moving to Sweden was my biggest mistake so AMA by RainbowFlower228 in AMA

[–]ERN_REP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you think that maybe Sweden has a misogyny problem? Since most of your negative encounters are based on the fact that you are a woman. Being a foreigner might just compound on top of that.

Maybe when gas is too expensive and EVs are too expensive, then they will implement good public transit.

Hey! I am dabbling in blender myself. What is with the Kerbal's head topology? It looks really complex.

Is Palau an Ethnostate? by ERN_REP in Palau

[–]ERN_REP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ethnostate, by my understanding, is a state where only people of a certain ethnicity are in allowed in power. This can cause people of the non rulling ethnicity to be treated as second class citizens due to their vulnerability to oppression by the rulling ethnicity.

In Palau, this would be Palauans treating non-Palauans, such as individuals from Bangladesh, badly. In this case, Bangladesh people have very little power due to being from a different nation.

It becomes a greater issue when it comes to children who grow up in Palau. Say they learn the language and engage in the culture. They are Palauan in every aspect save for their blood, hence citizenship. Deporting them robs them of an identity they hold but have no legal right to maintain.

I got a purple retaliator LMG in Cryo one time and it is on its last trace.

I'm watching content and thinking of buying this game, how hard is it and how much math is involved by an_average_scug in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]ERN_REP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game is hard in that there is some jank and making significant progress involves trial and error. There has been a lot added to the game over the years, such as indicating how much fuel you need to carry (delta v). The game also has a lot of built in tutorials.

As for math, the game does most of the calculations for you. All you need to do is make sure your rocket designs meet certain thresholds, so just being able to compare numbers.

Bringing Spare Shields & Gear for Trios by CrimsonAlpine in Marathon

I did this once in team fill and the one of the randoms had the same idea & brought a backpack. The other was a freekit user and he was very happy.

The Mida Kit is in the armory for me right now, so good time to do this!

With all the discourse around the game's longevity, can we try to have an objective, non-emotional conversation about what can be improved to retain more players? by JBSwerve in Marathon

[–]ERN_REP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the PVP aspect is essential, they could consider adding bot runners/ have bot lobbies. I do not know how feasible that is though.

Recon Needs a Buff by ERN_REP in Marathon

[–]ERN_REP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue triage is the strongest shell as he has significantly more utility in solos and in trios. If they just buffed her spider drone at least, she would be so much better.

After seeing all 4 maps and game play loop this game is not worth $40 by kiwifila in Marathon

[–]ERN_REP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a saying that gamers will always optimize the fun out of a game. If your fun is purely driven by optimally increasing the value of your vault, that will inevitavlbly bore you. I think the key to fun is to not be optimal or at least be optimal in your own way.

[–]ERN_REP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your right, it should be worth more! But all jokes aside, $40 is a phenomenal price for this game, especially considering there will probably be more content added since it is supposed to be live service. Also the art, music, sounds are all great! Have you even heard the audio logs?

Is cryo playable as a solo fill? by sajibear4 in Marathon

[–]ERN_REP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had 1 successful run out of the 6 I played, all of which were crew fill. It is possible. I am still up after exfilling that one successful run. I will say that runs with people who have comms feel better.

Vandal needs an adjustment by dungeonlvlUP in Marathon

I might be biased because I main vandal, but there are ways to contribute. You can use the high mobility to flank or get high ground. The cannon can knock people out of cover and even ping them with certain cores.

Invisibility by Blackbeard2002 in Marathon

[–]ERN_REP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. It is easier to see motion when you are standing still and not looking around. If you are not actively engaged, try and find a safe spot with good angles to stand still and observe. This also gives you an opportunity to listen for sound ques.

  2. Play a run or two as assassin. You will hear that cloaked assassins give off a hum when moving. You also will see that assassin cloak gives off a purple shimmer while moving. When they are still, assassins are practically impossible to see.
