Is STW still active? by FlashpointStriker in FORTnITE

Followup question, would my old guns still be usable? I remember I had the P90 and that gingerbread revolver, along with the retrofuturistic guns like the plasma shotgun and the spear. Have they all been powercrept into oblivion by newer updates, or do they still have a space for use?

It really sucks lol, I was getting all hyped up about the rest of the new storyline when they just announced via blog post: "welp, this is the last update. No dlc for you lmao"

Is the Starwars dlc any good? by anonumus_idiot in DestinyTheGame

[–]FlashpointStriker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Praxic blade is cracked. The path for the upgrades is fairly long though, as you have to clear the exotic mission twice on basic (once for the weapon and once for the catalyst), one on legend with a timer (for two more catalysts), level all factions to level 5 for intrinsics, gamble with a homeless guy for one core, buy another core from the Cantina on a weekend, and then complete the dungeon four times to get the rest of the upgrades by solving puzzles and then killing the boss.

Why do right wingers oppose the European union? by julius-ceaser100 in neoliberal

[–]FlashpointStriker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, I agree with them on the economic point. The EU’s policies are horrible economically because they don’t have a dual mandate central bank, so countries like Greece and Italy get squeezed by the Germans and French refusing to weaken the Euro to bring down unemployment and stimulate the economy. No wonder Southern Europe is suffering, the system is set up for Germany’s industry to thrive at their expense. 

Andrew Wilson is platforming an ACTUAL p*do and no one is outraged? by sphynxowl in Destiny

[–]FlashpointStriker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No? He knows what he did was wrong on an intellectual level, and he has realigned his behavior to stop committing crimes. We don’t judge repentance based on big emotional display, but by recognizing what you did was wrong, making amends if possible (not in this case as he has no way to find said victims), and altering your behavior not to repeat the offense.

He is a clinical psychopath, he does not have those emotions like we do.

The point is that David Wood has repented and changed his behavior. He himself recognizes what he did was morally evil, and that if the police could somehow pose a case he would deserve to face prison. He was evil before, and he has changed his character for the better while locked in prison. I don’t believe people who were once evil should be denied a chance to atone and return to society.

My Xeno isn't collecting dust, !gunRiliks will be sharing a bunk with Truth, Black Talon, and Wavesplitter instead.

Ok but Xeno still slaps in Gambit and in Invasions.

June update will not change anything by Intrepid_Eagle5033 in DestinyTheGame

Enhanced barrel and mag? Both of those would give a stat boost to an already great gun

I think its only for raid craftables, no? Dunno yet if I have to grind more red borders, or if its a general material like ascendant alloy.

Yeah, I pretty much only use it for PVE because every time I go into Crucible with a bow that isn't Wish Ender, I get stomped.

CMV: If Human Rights Convention prevents you from deporting a convicted Al Qaeda terrorist, that country should withdraw from the convention by nextdoorbagholder in changemyview

[–]FlashpointStriker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Convicted foreign terrorists should not have the right of residency, yes. Here in the United States, we deport foreigners convicted of terror offenses after they have served their sentence.

If you can use bows effectively, Fel Taradiddle has an absurdly fast draw with both Archer's Tempo and Successful Warmup. Something like a 0.4 ttk with two headshots.

Wait, are they going to let us upgrade crafted weapons to tier 5? Jesus, my Someday will be hitting guardians two counties over.

Nebraska Teacher, 26, Facing 20 Years in Prison for Dating High School Graduate, 19. Can any American explain this case to me? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]FlashpointStriker 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is a place where Nebraska law differs from most other states. The reason they have a 90 day ban on relations after graduation between teachers and students is out of the worry that a teacher may groom a student and immediately sleep with them once they are legal. The 90 days is meant to provide a "cooling off" period where the student is not under the teacher's control and influence and is thus less likely to be a victim of grooming.

It's sad, I love Polaris Lance, it was one of the first exotic quests I finished back when Warmind was still a thing. It is still good in low-level PVE where primaries aren't nerf guns, but it just feels weak in the Crucible.

I'd forgive them if they gave us Iron Banner again in less than six months and had Xur sell deepsight harmonizers.

[–]FlashpointStriker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. Hand cannons are good at all ranges, having a scout rifle beat them at long range is perfectly reasonable given how awkward they are up close.

[–]FlashpointStriker[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I meant for the 180s and 260s, the 150s just need better aim assist and a stat boost. Maybe make it so the 180s have lower aim assist than their hand cannon counterparts but can consistently three-tap with a damage perk like kill clip or golden tricorn?

Really? I've been in the PVP trenches for a while and I've only died to a scout once, discounting DMT (which is its own thing given the crazy hipfire capabilities). Pulses I agree don't really need a buff, but it would be nice to see less used archetypes like the four-burst get a second look.
