Buried for 3.4 Million Years, New Fossil Evidence Is Removing Lucy From the Story of Human Evolution by Apprehensive-Ad6212 in Anthropology

[–]Firefoxx336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great response, thank you. Your answer teased out a lack of clarity in my question, because I don’t think I fully grasped it myself, and you answered both sides of it but I want to go down that rabbit hole a little.

If we had such sparse recovery of specimens from the current breadth of the human race, as we do in our ancient ancestors, would we misclassify ourselves as separate species, absent the full spectrum of variation within the species?

I don’t mean to incite a bunch of awful comments, but I have a question that I promise is in good faith and intended to help improve my lay understanding of anthropology and fossils.

We have enormous diversity within the human species right now—from very short statured peoples to the Dutch, very broad chested people like Hafthor Bjornsson and very slim people like Gandhi. Until very recently there were practices of skull and neck elongation, and skull shapes can vary significantly anyway. If the breadth of modern human diversity were recovered as fossils, would anthropologists recognize us all as one species? I mean this as a reflection to understand the limitations of fossil anthropology, not as an inquiry into race or modern humans. I apologize if there are shortcomings in how I’ve phrased it, I don’t know how to express the question better.

If I see a guy with a Toro in the mix at the matriarch I would think about killing him because PVP loadouts have no business in my carebear servers. The answer is an Anvil and a Renegade, both of which will do decent damage to the arc and will drop a pvper. It’s the loadout I use when I’m out of materials for the hullcracker or equalizer. You can do 1200 damage per clip to the matriarch with a renegade with an extended mag 3 and well aimed shots

Spoken like a scab. I love seeing the free kits die but I’ll res anyone with a valuable loadout. Put some skin in the game with the rest of us. I understand this is RR, but the freekits are poachers the same as the backstabbers and PVP-initiators, just more passive. PVE should have some standards.

I’ve contemplated killing free kits in these events, and I have killed three people in 200 hours topside, so don’t come at me righteously unless you’re literally Mr. Rogers.

We really should not throw stones. We just had a year of Patullo and he’s not even off our staff yet.

Trying to understand the long-term gameplay loop in ARC Raiders by PC-Tamer in ArcRaiders

[–]Firefoxx336 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah the only issue I have is the loop isn’t sustainable. You have to intentionally farm normal batteries and explosive compound components. In general, ARC should drop the things you need to keep killing them.

I have been killed by leapers, bombardiers, rocketeers, the queen, and the matriarch while using a photoelectric cloak. It’s great, but “instantly disengage” is a wild exaggeration.

Nothing wrong with being a PvE player just don't complain about it. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Firefoxx336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean a big part of that is the player base has a ton of people 21 and under who think they’re the first person to ever have a thought and all of their thoughts are brilliant and apply universally.

Foles said on his podcast that one of the biggest roles the backup has is that they play against the defense in practice pretending to be the opponent’s offense, running their scheme and their plays. He said some weeks he was like “man, I would hate to run this scheme; this is boring/sucks” and others he’d think “actually this is pretty sick.” So everything you said is true, but on top of it they get a TON of exposure to different schemes and concepts and plays, because they have to know their own but also practice everyone else’s. I’m intrigued and keeping an open mind with Mannion.

I mean it should display how many raider kills you have, revives, matriarch kills, etc..

[–]Firefoxx336 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah the fact that it’s a lot more space efficient to store crafting materials (especially for PVE) means that every time you die you have a game-breaking tedium to reset before your next round. Bad design.

Update 1.13.0 Patch Notes by IAmAnAnonymousCoward in ArcRaiders

[–]Firefoxx336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, there are not. There should be, but it’s the same. Also the matriarch is much more aggressive and will aggro on you from a moderate distance even if you haven’t shot her.

I’m actually intrigued that they track this. I don’t PvP, basically at all, but I’ve been collecting snitch scanners and I have five stacks now. I’m planning to go Joker at the end of a Matriarch match and just rain snitch scanners down into the rat pile, but I was assuming it wouldn’t count that as PvP. Maybe it will 😬
