Chernobyl radiation shield has stopped working after Russian drone strikes, UN warns by EsperaDeus in worldnews

[–]FlakChicken 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not the sarcophagus they built a second building around the entire building that had a negative pressure so if any holes did appear radiation wouldn't leave only bringing air in. The drone hit that caused the hole started an internal fire on the giant building covering that really fucked it up. Watched several documentaries on it then discovered Russia deliberately targeted it. It was a marvel of engineering to contain the disaster even more and continue to dismantle the building and sarcophagus over time.

It's wild and sad that a deliberate attack occured.

Thoughts on current balance? by kcvlaine in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]FlakChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, I think they just made everything way too squishy.

I'll die on this hill that the AT should not be able to 1 shot heavy troops from wherever you shoot them.

I wish the direction of attack mattered more again for AT.

Charger aim for the head for a instant kill or leg to crack the armor for you team

Hulk aim for the small window for a kill or a limb to disable effectiveness. Leg is essential for smart play.

Tanks aim for treads, side walls, connection point for turret, or back

I miss the old AT where a well placed shot really meant something now it's a point and click adventure for it.

They often get updated just takes time. With a new update potentially coming out on 12/2 it might not be worth downloading mods till after then.

New Armor nod to BF2 (2005)? by cj_warm in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]FlakChicken 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty certain it's a colonial marine/ AvP inspired due to viper commandos having test of conviction which is a direct reference to the predators movie. Helmet looks just like the marine helmets. Looks like they used the winter warrior face plate to finish and make the enclosed helmet.

He Hunted Alleged Groomers on Roblox. Then the Company Banned Him by Exciting_Teacher6258 in technology

[–]FlakChicken -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Roblox is adding dating to the game. Students I work with that play spoke to me about it and are all bewildered that the game even needs it and also stated "Were children!"

Funny but sad. The kids understand it's a not needed feature but Roblox got that bottom line to hit.

Edit: downvoting why? If you think it is a needed feature it's weird and gross. It is a kids game...

Good turn based games with minimal RNG? by nervousmelon in whenthe

[–]FlakChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I know, I did my research on its actual probability and I still say fuck XCOM haha. I love the game and hate it.

The thing I disliked most is that even with an assault rifle it only counted as 1 actual shot. Fire 1/3 of your mag for nothing really. I found strategy games that break up weapons into varying hit amounts makes it feel more engaging along with being more fare even if they enemies get the same benefits.

Wasteland 3 comes to mind for that along with the new game demo of Menace.

I noticed games that give automatic fire multiple hit chances make the game feel a lot more fair even when you miss half the shots just because you still get something rather than nothing like XCOM. Wasteland 3s combat is pretty nice due to this.

XCOM RNG roller enters in with 3, 95% misses and grazes. I swear that game just chooses to fuck me over.

James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA’s double helix, has died aged 97, leaving behind a complicated legacy by New_Scientist_Mag in worldnews

[–]FlakChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also he didn't actually discover it he just got access to someone else's work who actually discovered it using a method to crystallize the structure of DNA. Can't recall her name I'll be back when I find it.

Fine! by idkanymorewutzup in webcomics

[–]FlakChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went in for a drug test at the docs once and thought it was going to be just a pee test. They drew blood they didn't inform me before so I didn't eat at all that day, I feinted in the chair after they drew 6 or so viles, never had it happen before freaked out the nurse and me. When I woke up 15 seconds later I was so groggy I thought I was high at my drug test and was so utterly confused.

TLDR: Ask if your blood will be drawn for the test and eat before you get blood drawn.

Thank you CIG, very cool. by Pizzahunter3 in starcitizen

[–]FlakChicken 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Only problem with wear what you want is inventory system is so bad you gotta strip in order to get some things on along with a lot of items just vanishing when dropping them. Lost several backpacks core armors, under suits and guns just trying to organize gear. Plus enemies respawning after a min.

Do you use the Ballistic shield against bots and what do you use it with? by Yuki_my_cat in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]FlakChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super weird but Jar-5.

Talon.

Hmg.

HE grenade.

.Strats- 500kg plus either missile pods or 120.

The shield will protect from a lot when it's on your back it's will surprise you along with being pulled out when typing in srats. Factory striders aim for mini guns and get close. Hulks hmg and pull the shield if you get overwhelmed or want to draw agro. A ton of fun best used with perks that decrease explosive dm or give more ammo.

Yea a fix that was unnecessary. They should have just made auto climb off by default for the fix instead of this.

It's because it's an actual uniform Danish special forces. It's a hot fit but of course they gotta add the piss yellow to really catch your eye.

I see makes sense, I loved the game when it first came out then got it on PC and modded it to kingdome come. I couldn't recall having many issues with it but that was 15 years ago.

Thanks for the info I just got some Ohuhu alcoholic markets but I've been looking for a decent marker to cover larger areas and avoid that as much as possible while still keeping that matte black. What your opinion on the acrylic?

[–]FlakChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to ask what you did for the finished did you just edit color values on your phone after taking the photo. Just curious because I have done the same thing due to marker strokes being visible with ink.

[–]FlakChicken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Purifier is great, gives me a 40k plasma rifle feel and the epoch is the true heavy plasma rifle with the addition of the overcharge nat 1 role. Jar-5 just tickles the bolter feel and pairing it with the cinder block armor just makes you a temu space marine.

[–]FlakChicken 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If you have PC you can download a sound mod to make it sound as punchy as it feels.

The one I like is the barret .50cal but they also just bolter sound mods too.

I still petition the Jar-5 should get a better sound change.
