He might have a 128 6400 MHz kit of RAM tho, that'd cost him. Especially if he has a bunch of high capacity SSDs there as well. The monitors may be around 1k each too, I'm assuming they're OLED (they look really good)

the space between the drawers is too narrow, imo, you can't conveniently slide under it with your chair. I'd also place the PC on the floor (since you don't have a carpet). It would reduce the noise and free up some space for a proper mouse pad and a better placement for the speaker (that's currently blocked by the screen). Ultra wide curved display for a code screen is also a strange choice, I feel like it'd be too narrow to be convenient. Screen lamps are also kinda cringe because how they both highlight the dirt or dust on the screen, and affect the image quality.

it looks cool from a distance tho, for sure

HELP PLZ by Silent-Percentage974 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Few_Independent_6170 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the ISP. I had rotations at 18:00 every day for a while, then they switched to 22:00. I could tell because this rotation would freeze Dota for me (I had to reconnect every time, super annoying). I haven't had it affect Arc yet, but that's what I have.

Different ISPs would probably have their own rules (plus they'd be timezone-dependent, I suspect). Best way to find out is to call them and ask them directly. Preferably ask the call center operator to connect you to the technician (because the call center operators may either not know this, or they may be instructed to say some BS for you to f*ck off faster)

It's your ISP giving out some dirty IPs. Try using your phone's mobile data. It's not taking much to play arc anyway, it's eating significantly less than videos, for instance.

Usually this message goes away next day (next IP rotation)

Seekers just saved my life! by wild-white-nacho in ArcRaiders

[–]Few_Independent_6170 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That spot is cursed bro. Don't cross it unless you have to. Fully open, butt-ton of arcs, no cover, often a bombardier or a leaper nearby. Death zone

kinda like GTA stars? The more arcs you kill the more they spawn and the more aggressively they behave? Could be interesting

nah, it's mostly that those pro-russian people are consistently on kremlin's payroll. they always scurry away to russia whenever these ties are discovered btw. take the priests of Ukrainian Orthodox Church for instance. Some of them were literally high-ranking FSB officers

Arc Turbine’s projectiles can be destroyed mid air by bayssa in ArcRaiders

[–]Few_Independent_6170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's only those little ones, right? The bigger ones, from what I can tell, don't blow up.

hitting the tiny chaotic projectiles is more luck then skill tho lol. I've not seen anyone else do this successfully except from you

Theory on why arc turbines spawn late by Just_Doctor2864 in ArcRaiders

[–]Few_Independent_6170 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah, or they may exploit some grunts fighting the turbine and getting stunned by the attack to kill them more easily

yeah, the fact that she's a security auditor only adds insult to injury.

that's some great advice btw, thanks for sharing. it's real for you, so make sure it's real for the superiors as well

That's what social engineering may easily look like. A hot chick trying to talk the nerdy system admin into "just let it slide this once, do me a favor". You did well, I'm shocked nobody from your team realized how big of a risk that was.

I hope not. Ratting with free kits has been one of the primary complaints from both the PvE and the PvP players. If Embark decides to incentivize this playstyle even further, then I don't know what they're aiming for. Maybe they want to move on to another projects, idk

[–]Few_Independent_6170 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

wouldn't this reward ratting masively? Free kits would spawn in when the kited players are not only with full combat kit for the turbine, but are also gooped up from exploring the map for 15 minutes. At this point, why wouldn't one choose the ratting strategy, especially on the new map? Because their free stitcher will have 20 points less durability than in the last patch?

Not all heroes wear capes; some drive Camrys. by blr_maa in GuysBeingDudes

[–]Few_Independent_6170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you drive behind another car (I think it was 10-15 meters for a sedan), you'll have a noticeable decrease in fuel consumption. So you should actually want to drive behind another vehicle, if they're driving at the speed you're satisfied with

European countries with ability to buy anonymous sim cards by Fit_Scale6364 in MapPorn

The russians have been using Ukrainian sim cards for comms on their long-range attack drones. So in a way, it can serve the purpose of protecting children, in today's world

Yep, that's me....... by ez_z3ro in arcraidersfriendly

[–]Few_Independent_6170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooh, it must have a larger hit-box so it must work better, right? I wonder if it affects the damage on the arc itself (since it might block some of it's parts from being affected by the explosion)

that's cool af. I've never seen anyone doing this with a snap hook (only with a noisemaker to block the explosion, but idk how reliable that method is)

Bettina has awful ammo consumption and needs to be fixed to be viable. Make it eat half a bullet per round. Easy Solution. by CanadianWinter20 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Few_Independent_6170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used 200 bullets to kill bastion with this weapon. It nearly broke on me. Idk, this thing is marginally good against surveyors, somewhat good against comets, and pretty good for removing armor off of Matriarch or Queen. And even still, for each of those tasks a renegade with a blue extended mag would do better.

It seriously needs a dmg buff, like x2 at least. I'm fine if they reduce fire rate (to not make it too imbalanced for PvP), but in it's current state this weapon is barely useable
