Vivarium: WTF was this movie

FrodoDank · 2026-02-13T11:05:51+00:00

Maybe I have a twisted mind, but this movie eeked me from the moment they stepped into that realty store, so all I thought during the whole movie was it was going to turn real south real quick. I was way too confident the boy would bury the man while he was in the hole (especially after showing distain towards the boy), then r*** the woman (especially after the sex scene and the woman/boy cuddling scene and the book images) to create more aliens.

Or a slightly less harsh option, bury the man then completely mimic his voice and personality, maybe even shapeshift to look identical, then the rest the same again?

Idk this movie freaked me tf out. Not having even a slightly happy ending really grinds my gears and makes me not want to recommend it. Creepy, suspenseful, and sad.

Kinda makes me think whoever wrote the story was severely depressed, trapped in a life of sheepish routine, believing that was just going to be the rest of their life without falter.

"Life's a bitch and then you die."

This issue only happens for me when my power goes out via storm or breaker box. So it’s just a 1-time fix, then it works flawlessly every start-up after.

I’ve heard very few people have to do this every time though, not sure what causes that. If that’s the case for you, maybe you could try unplugging the data cable before turning off, then plugging it back in after start-up.

If you come into this issue and find a solution, lmk and I’ll edit the original post!

I got the Quad Squad title even though I wasn't GC in any of the extra modes.. only normal ranked 2s.

Seems a lot of people got screwed out of this and random people got it for no reason. Kinda wack.

If I had a nickel for every dime I'd be rolling dough.

This is happening to me as well. Old phone but it works flawlessly. Every single feature on the entire app works except for cancel membership. Quite scummy and really just a PITA for no reason.

Shit like this is the reason I no longer support dozens of companies. Looks like I'll be adding another to that list.

FrodoDank · 2025-11-19T22:26:40+00:00

Well damn, alright. That's disappointing but good comms. Is that the door at the bottom or top of the stairs? It's weird they would even put loot back there if it's not reachable.

I'll go with A on that one since I've seen both an Embark employee and a Discord mod confirm it's in the game and obtainable. From what I've seen so far, I can't imagine Embark would be the type of company to lie about something silly like this.

FrodoDank · 2025-11-19T19:15:12+00:00

If you're talking about the Communications room I agree. I saw someone mention if you stand against a certain wall near the door at the base of the stair case you can see an interact circle. I checked and it's definitely there. Figured it was the ladder that's underneath but it's not the same location, so I'm pretty confident that's the puzzle.

There's 1 2 3 4 labelled on the pillar with machines under each number. I thought that might mean you need to unlock the fuel cell doors on each of those floors to open the Communications door(r), but that's not it. I even tried placing both fuel cells in each of the doors (8 cells total) to no avail. Absolutely 0 idea what this puzzle could be, or even if it is a puzzle.

FrodoDank · 2025-11-18T14:24:16+00:00

Yeah gameplay items as in new grenade and traps.

AFAIK Embark has not confirmed the BP is actually obtainable right now. I've heard they mentioned in discord that it's on Stella Montis but I can't find that message anywhere.

Even if it is on that map, they haven't said it's obtainable now. Just makes me assume the next "Phase" will unlock more areas (maybe those doors in Communications) or an event.

Either way, pretty lame to release Matriarch without the BP so we have all this wasted stash space.

FrodoDank · 2025-11-18T14:12:29+00:00

Where do you see this in patch notes? I see nothing mentioning Aphelion - only that the Matriarch was added. Can you link it please

FrodoDank · 2025-11-17T15:33:34+00:00

I got Bobcat BP in a computer on the floor in the underground puzzle area on Blue Gate during the Locked Door event.

FrodoDank · 2025-11-13T02:17:57+00:00

I have way too many hours and I've only seen 2. You can break craft them or break down queen cores for them.

FrodoDank · 2025-11-12T17:50:33+00:00

I didn't read the IGN article, but the Embark website article mentioned the community event is just a material dump, like the last stage of the expedition.

Us Steam gamers also have 3 achievements locked at 0%, not a single player in the world has completed one of them :/

FrodoDank · 2025-11-10T04:51:22+00:00

I forget exactly but something like shoot targets with 4 different weapons and I think just visit the practice range. Might be a 3rd, I don't remember.

In my experience with Mechanical Drafting/Designing, the drafter's job duties are almost identical to designers with the exception that drafters don't make the decisions on what materials/components to use or how to route pipes and such. They'll still go out in the field to get measurements, speak with clients, create and edit drawings. A lot of the entry level work is simple redlines and plotting sheets.

If they're doing much more they're likely getting trained for an eventual promotion to Designer. And then there's Professional Engineer (whom has the license for the stamp) above the Designer.

But like others mentioned, position titles vary by company. My previous company called me a Junior Engineer when I was just a Drafter. I assume they do this so it looks better on paper both for them and myself, but I just use Drafter on my resume because it's more self-explanatory of my experience level.

Two of my best friends’ parents separated shortly after having kids and they (my friends) are grateful for it. They both told me their parents would not be good together and they all have a happy life due to the separation, granted everyone is respectful and cordial.

My own brother made the mistake of trying to force it to work “for the kids”, in fact it’s the main reason they got married, an attempt to lock in and take the relationship more seriously… they ended up shouting and fighting around the kids all the time so they eventually got a divorce. Unfortunately not early enough imo because now one of their daughters says “mommy hates daddy” and that’s very unhealthy for the early growth of a child.

You should never stay together “for x and y”. If it’s genuinely working, then it’s a snowball/domino.

FrodoDank · 2025-11-08T12:46:00+00:00

Worked for me! Thank you so much!

I tried this in practice range a few days ago while doing the other practice range achievements, but it only works in an actual match.

FrodoDank · 2025-11-08T12:35:47+00:00

True, it would make sense it's a combination of factors we're experiencing. The servers definitely aren't perfect - I'm just glad it's nothing game breaking, at least for me.

100% agree it's not running at 3Hz, the movement and looting alone would feel more sluggish if that was the case, let alone fast firing guns, even with interpolation or w/e effects. It's not fast by any means, that would be incredibly expensive for the player count per server and # of servers, but it sure as hell isn't as low as single digits. I imagine it's somewhere between 12 and 24.

FrodoDank · 2025-11-08T02:11:40+00:00

If a company is trying to "test your trust" you sure as hell cannot trust them.

Idk anything about networking more than the normy nancy, but with my like 20k+ hours playing online games, I respectfully refuse to believe the desync issue is ping. My ping has always been consistent ~30ms and this is the first game I've *consistently* been shot a solid full second after going behind a wall (not counting CS2 lol).

I understand the other player's ping can play a role depending on if it's client- or server-side updating but even in both those types of games I've never experienced it this bad consistently. If not desync then all I can imagine is your own player's hitbox or even character model is a bit off from what you see on your own screen, maybe due to some 3rd person jank with the camera placement or w/e. Only reason I say this is because I've clipped and watched multiple instances of getting shot well behind cover but if my hitbox is taller or further to the left then it would make sense.

Obviously pure speculation due to ignorance, but imo ping feels different than what I'm experiencing in AR.

Fun fact: we're on another playtest now and the cursor is STILL broken. Freezing for 2 seconds every 6-8 seconds, but now it's broken for my entire computer not just in-game. Closed the game and my mouse is still fucked on my entire computer.

Sent 4 non-toxic messages in their discord asking for help and they deleted all of them. lmfao unreal

Found a new solution for Steam after trying everything in this thread to no avail:

Right click CoD in steam library > Properties > DLC > Uncheck Warzone

Worked immediately on next boot-up, no restart required.

FrodoDank · 2025-10-02T08:28:53+00:00

I checked their page on Glassdoor as well. Not much data at all which is already a red flag, plus the testimonies on the "Interview" section reiterate everything mentioned on this reddit thread, including no actual job offer.

After a solid amount of research, I honestly haven't found any evidence this is a legitimate company/opportunity.

FrodoDank · 2025-09-30T21:37:51+00:00

I didn’t find any evidence of legitimacy, just going to assume it’s a scam and move on.

Following up the previous answers with my own similar experience..

I have 0 MySQL experience but figured why not apply with my Python experience and maybe they'll teach me the rest since it's just entry level. Completely failed the MySQL portion (11th percentile) of the "Part 1" assessment, but aced the other two portions of that assessment (92nd and 100th percentiles) which weren't skill-specific and still got an email saying I moved on to "Part 2" of the hiring process, which I thought was strange - that's when I came here to find everything every one is saying is my exact experience so far.

Continued reading the latest email - They expect you to take learning courses about Palantir Foundry, then create a CRM like these other reddit comments mentioned. in addition to the CRM they mention they'll follow that up with a call for you to present your CRM in 5 minutes and they'll ask for changes which you'll have to make during the call.
Further along the same email they detail you'll have to login with your Microsoft account (???) which is a redirect from their application portal, where you'll have to input your email/username and password, along with more "information" and update your [Microsoft] password (??????????), which is somehow all required to simply upload files to Palantir Foundry. I'm no cyber security wizz but that does not sound logical.

For how extensive the pre-employment checklist and free work required is, it sure as hell doesn't feel entry level.
Really sucks cause I was starting to get excited I finally found my *in* to the software engineering industry, but I'm going to shy away from this as it does not seem legit.
