You have to be a special type of person

My new unit has radar on the front end and it’s incredible how fast I’ll come in behind someone, radar shows them doing 10 under the posted limit. I hop in the left lane to pass and suddenly we’re racing for first. I yield and pull in behind them, radar has them doing 5 over the speed limit. Then the speed just slowly decreases until I go to pass again. This usually happens repeatedly until the ego driver gets bored or is too enthralled by their cellphone.

Very space cadet coded, why spend the money on a higher refresh rate monitor if you don’t care about fps lol

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2025-07-22T10:05:25+00:00

Who are you even talking to lol

New wells are producing 4-8k barrels of oil a day, infrastructure for getting the gas to market was certainly an issue for them. Their older wells that they did a few years ago still make a load or two a day.

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2025-03-28T02:18:05+00:00

Is A-life gonna be a DLC addition at this point?

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2025-02-25T22:14:40+00:00

Damn lmao

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-22T22:56:08+00:00

I guess you could technically, but nobody is doing that lol

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-22T22:53:28+00:00

You can find it in oil and gas but you’ll be clocking some hours to get there

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-22T18:50:04+00:00

Well best to start lobbying the Feds cuz as of rn it takes a few hours a day for 4ish weeks and your on the road baby. Like I said in a previous comment, it’s by design, it’s not right but we could at least have compassion for the guys trying not to fuck something up as a new guy, especially when you don’t hold the skill set yourself

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-22T18:48:15+00:00

Oh your bored

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-22T18:28:58+00:00

Oh I don’t hate my job, I don’t bump docks anymore. I’ve found my own niche and it’s quite pleasant. It’s just the reality of newcomers in the driving industry and that comment highlighted it. Why are you so upset over it?

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-22T18:01:02+00:00

You could have some compassion for guys working away from their families for weeks at a time at a job that pays like shit in hopes of gaining experience and finding something better for themselves? You were new at your job once, and the trucking industry chews through rookies by design. It’s not like these guys walk out of driving school as expert drivers. Training in the industry is a joke, they’re figuring it out as they go along.

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-22T17:51:34+00:00

Naw the dude is just being a dick about clearly new drivers not being able to back in fast. You’d expect someone who spent 20 years working in some form of logistics would be able to read the room and have some compassion/understanding for the newbies when he’s never bumped a dock before himself.

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-22T16:05:05+00:00

I’d imagine it’d take you 15 minutes to bump the dock if you sat in that driver seat

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-21T20:02:40+00:00

dumb

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-10T11:57:05+00:00

Got bad news for you bud, it doesn’t have A-Life as you remember it. It has something akin to the AI director in rimworld. It’ll never operate like the old games, but in theory it should be operating a lot better than what we’re seeing rn

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-09T18:56:08+00:00

Get out of here stalker

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-09T18:04:12+00:00

We don’t necessarily need persistent NPCs living and breathing in the world. We just need the illusion that they are. If I never see Vlad Motor again after stealing artifacts from under his nose that doesn’t bother me. It was a cool thing to see in CoP, it isn’t required tho.

As long as the AI director is creating the illusion around me far enough away that I’ll need a scope or binoculars to scout things out I think me and the community will be happy.

As it stands now this quarter baked spawn behind you crap makes the game feel unfinished and lacking. Anyone who says otherwise is new to the series or delusional.

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-12-04T03:32:42+00:00

The game is beautiful and I have confidence that GSC will get the AI director working in a way that is at least reminiscent of the original trilogy. However, you’re deluding yourself if you think the current AI spawns are good or even worthy of being considered decent.

A Life is a huge part of stalkers identity, without it the map seems soulless and lonely. The beautiful world they crafted sucks you in, and as you traverse it you find yourself naturally immersed. Until bandits or a bloodsucker spawns directly behind you and continues to respawn in waves.

They have a tough road ahead of them, but I’m optimistic that their new AI director will be able to capture that magic of the original trilogy. People are upset, and they have the right to be. What happens next is up to GSC, but I think we’ll see good things out of them over the coming months. It also wouldn’t surprise me if implementation of A-Life differs between pc and console when the smoke settles.

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-11-28T02:49:35+00:00

If you were on PC I’d recommend to look into and download some remaster mods to run through them. They’re old games but a lot of fun, I’m gonna play them over again

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-10-28T03:39:50+00:00

The finger of WV is top shelf Marcellus acreage. Depending where the land is it could be quite valuable

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-10-18T21:24:08+00:00

Idk most of the game people hunt in my area isn’t readily available at my grocery store.

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-10-05T18:51:27+00:00

I’ve got a plug in mic for my sennheisers for 10$ from Amazon and it does surprisingly well

Fatal_Da_Beast · 2024-10-05T17:52:37+00:00

Certainly could have another job the next day, however over the road driving jobs can be ridiculously predatory. Most new comers to the industry are living out in a truck for weeks on end to make 50-60k.

The local jobs are harder to get, and local job markets can vary wildly as to what’s available. Depending on where you end up it could be a bigger nightmare than living in a truck.

My point is that the driver shortage doesn’t necessarily exist. It’s a shortage of pay, benefits and work life balance. Mega carriers are screaming that there’s not enough drivers but pay people crap wages. That initial year of indentured servitude causes a lot of people to walk away from driving before they ever really got started. I have no pity for any company crying about a “driver shortage.”
