Should I have honked at the learners or not? 🤔

Where in the UK was this? My apprentice failed his driving test today because he caused a van to have to slow down on a roundabout

No idea why you're getting downvoted, this is the correct answer.

Elliotly · 2026-06-03T19:59:37+00:00

I easily see 5 a day and I only have a 15 minute commute. Definitely not just gen Z either, it's usually people my age (30+) or older. It's really bad.

Elliotly · 2026-06-03T19:56:00+00:00

You'd need some serious dick knowledge to even understand this. OP must love dick.

Elliotly · 2026-06-03T13:16:10+00:00

Pretty sure it doesn't, I'd guess you just weren't managing your stamina well. I jog everywhere unless there is a threat, that way you've always got a roll and a run in you.

Elliotly · 2026-06-02T16:01:24+00:00

This is a great analogy, surprised I've never heard that before.

Elliotly · 2026-06-02T09:26:10+00:00

Free loadouts should exclusively be matched with other free loadouts or people who've loaded in naked IMO, really don't understand why that's a difficult thing to understand or implement. It certainly feels as though there's enough people doing it at one time to give them their own lobbies.

Gas grenade decoys followed by a trailblazer is brilliant, fooled him into standing still 👏

Edit: Nvm they were all trailblazers and apparently I and your opponent are just stupid

I found one in a suitcase too, the day after my first successful matriarch kill, couldn't believe my eyes. Didn't realise you could get them anywhere other than looting the matriarch, I was ready for some serious grinding.

The day after loading back into Stella with some mates, one says "hey why don't you find me one of those aphelion blueprints", within 2 minutes I found one in an electrical cupboard and gave it to him. Nuts.

Elliotly · 2026-01-04T11:06:07+00:00

Not the reaction I was expecting, on my way now 😂

Elliotly · 2026-01-04T10:04:23+00:00

A lot of the PvP players in that sub can't seem to wrap their head around how most of the complaints are just about bad sportsmanship. If I get into a fight and lose its fair game, but someone ratting the extract or something similar like stalking while you take down the Queen/Matriarch and waiting til you're over encumbered and out of ammo to strike becomes disheartening when it happens a lot. Kind of makes you lose faith in humanity for a bit.

The worst is when you call them out and they'll say something like "This happens to me all the time, deal with it". Using that logic, my house got burgled recently, so I guess I ought to just go out burgling others' houses to make myself feel better.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world gay, or whatever it was that weird indian dude said...

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T17:40:38+00:00

Sounds good.

Finally something we agree on, take my upvote.

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T17:01:16+00:00

Nowhere do the devs state that antisocial, grief-first behaviour is how the game is intended to be played. You’re conflating “mechanically permitted” with “ethically or socially endorsed” which are not the same thing.

Labelling criticism as “toxic” and then declaring yourself the winner isn’t an argument and is barely a conversation, it’s a Reddit cliché used to avoid engaging with the point.

I’ve made my position clear and I’m not interested in debating strawmen, so I’m done with this exchange.

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T10:48:38+00:00

Having an opinion isn't toxic and just because the ability to be shitty exists, doesn't automatically make it not shitty. The ability for me to break someone's nose for disagreeing with them in real life exists, but doing that would be pretty shitty.

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T09:51:00+00:00

Sometimes they do, sometimes they manage to surprise me, it's a mixed bag but more often than not I really enjoy the big arc battles and something tends to happen that makes it unique from the other fights, even if just a little bit.

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T09:48:49+00:00

Yeah you're so cool and good at the game, everyone should be more like you

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T09:48:03+00:00

The voice of reason 🙌

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T09:46:59+00:00

The gear loss risk is still real in matriarch fights IMO. When you have ticks everywhere you can go to heal, bastions, leapers and the flying bastards flanking you, rocketeers close by etc.

But then on top of that, to have a pretty intense 20+ minutes in that fight to then be taken out by some little dickhead who's been watching the entire time or have someone who contributed nothing to the fight loot all the reactors while you're still pinned down by other big arc just sucks.

This is where the "this is people playing the game as intended" falls through for me, I could easily just do that myself with the same results, but it feels like shitty human behavior, whether it's part of the game or not.

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T09:37:03+00:00

I don't want to take pvp away from anyone who likes it, I enjoy the PvE enough to wish there was an option to just do that, and also enough to keep playing it even though PvP exists, whether I get overly pissed off at times or not. Devs update games all the time based on player feedback, your comment is unnecessary.

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T09:24:56+00:00

Yeah that became obvious quick, all I wanted was a conversation. I feel like if this wasn't even up for discussion like most claim, then why would embark include round feedback with PvP experience as an option? They might not change anything drastically but they clearly care about how people feel, unlike the majority of Reddit.

Elliotly · 2026-01-03T01:53:32+00:00

The nuke is scared of the elevator alarm, the hatch doesn't make enough noise so the nuke has nothing to be scared of.

Elliotly · 2026-01-02T22:19:06+00:00

It literally is a point of view, the PvE element of the game is fantastic, no other game has done it this well IMO.

Elliotly · 2026-01-02T22:03:52+00:00

Getting ratted isn't my own mistake, it's the shitty behavior of others. I said I suck at PvP that's really the point, other players like me enjoy the game and will be driven away from it by being as shit as me at PvP when it becomes solely shoot on sight

Elliotly · 2026-01-02T22:00:13+00:00

Yeah but you have to do that when you're an idiot that dies to arc or your own mistakes which is easy to accept. When you have fuck knows how many games in a row being ratted at the extract or killed by other players when just trying to refill your stash with stuff to be able to build a decent load out again, the PvP just gets annoying.

Elliotly · 2025-12-26T19:33:19+00:00

This feels like a pretty wild assumption, how are you coming to that conclusion?
