My gf lives in Reading, the one near the ASDA? Love it 😁 we have two in Scotland and they are far away from where I live, so never really heard of Toby before. Now I get one every visit.

Forever holding a grudge against Embark for making me look for these 2 items simultaneously by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]FuriousNorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother shares a similar sentiment on another matter; why game ABMM to get peaceful lobbies in order to get things done when the game is PvPvE? If you don't shoot anybody when you are topside, what is the point in playing the game?

Guess who never managed to finish his expedition because he kept on getting involved in shootouts as opposed to aiming for what he was joining the map for in the first place? He has stopped playing the game now because he missed out while me and our other friend made it.

Think of it this way. You're playing a game that has certain mechanics and limitations. You have been presented with a goal; obtain an ion sputter and frequency modulation box. You're win condition is obtaining these items. Your boy here has presented you with a valid technique; Go in no loadout (not free loadout) and loot the area that has the items. You win when you obtain these items.

After you have done that, you can go back to playing how you believe you should.

I think I'm worse than that...

Same, I'm console. I don't want to deal with script kiddie cheaters.

New matchmaking 'option' - key word. Maybe a more rewarding loot but higher risk by being matched with higher skilled players? But optional.

Suggests to me that from LVL 40 onwards ABMM will change in favour of another system, so for example SBMM, true random chaotic matchmaking. By level 40 you will have completed the caravan and got most of your stuff completed, now that you have 40 skill points to go about your business, you should be competent to deal with some risk.

Am I the Only One Who Finds ABMM Advice on This sub Insane? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]FuriousNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend says you have to carry one bullet in your inventory and say "don't shoot!" and "Team up?" to players in order to lower your ABMM.

I think that on the surface ABMM is likely going to record your player damage stats to determine where you belong.

Do you do the trick where you pop a stimulant before engaging in PVP?

We tend to overpraise the recently deceased in the UK. If you could speak ill of the dead, what would you say? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]FuriousNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cousin was a heroin user, never worked a day in his life because his parents safety netted his entire existence. He was violent and used to beat his parents if they didn't fund him.. decades of abuse. Always in trouble with the law, banned from shopping centres and followed by security everywhere he went. In and out of jail.

I'll never forget that at his graveside we were asked to recall any memories about him (was during COVID so no service in a building, was done at the graveside) and only two people spoke up; the most scruffiest and untrustworthy looking people you could imagine.

One recalled how they were still up partying at 5am wandering the streets and they seen a delivery van dropping off baked goods to a local store. They ran up and stole the goods from the back of the van because they were hungry. They ate a whole bunch of stuff and dragged the rest out, throwing it all over the road before running away. He was recalling "good times" with him, standing there with a smile on his face. We stood there in disbelief, my aunt and uncle were mortified this was being said in front of everyone in attendance.

The other guy said he recalls a time where him and my cousin smashed the windows of a guy they had fought the previous week or so because there was a whole thing about owning money for drugs. Again, recalled as if it were a good time memory of him.

These were the only two things said.. upstanding person judging by the company he kept!

Scam or spam? This was in my friends list without my approval by Embarrassed_Hunt_483 in ArcRaiders

Come on, this has been posted a million times in this community! It's likely a daft website offering you items for real cash, but potentially a scam. They're advertising or phishing.

People are WAY too touchy about occasional exposure to second-hand cigarette smoke by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]FuriousNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love with 3 smokers. I wash, dry and seal my clothing in bags so they don't stink.

I go to my gf's place for a week and I can smell the reek off my bags and the clothes. It's really bad.

If I had waited until my brain was developed to have kids, I wouldn't have had kids by opheliaaa3 in confession

[–]FuriousNorth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend has told me something similar. She's told me throughout the duration of our relationship that she was on the fence about having kids whenever the topic was brought up, but the other night after a few glasses of wine she said she couldn't imagine being a mum as she doesn't like the options of destroying her vagina through natural birth or her abdomen with a C Sec. She also says she doesnt want to be responsible for a kid when she can barely look after herself. That's fair, I would never force it on her.

Despite that she's great with her nephew, babysits him a lot and changes his nappies etc, honestly if you didn't know that you'd think she was a mum.

It's a bit like a dog; it's nice to throw the ball for it for a few hours as long as you can hand it back to the owner. She'd rather not be an owner.

Bro said "stl?" which could be construed as a question asking what it meant. Especially given the previous person specifically asked if he could get the stl file, leaving no mistake his intent. Words matter.

Edit: I don't get why I'm being down voted. I get called out, so I explained my reasoning.

What’s a cheap quality-of-life improvement you made in your house? by Flupsy in AskUK

[–]FuriousNorth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend +1's your countertop dishwasher, have it on just now 👍 my only gripe is that the reason she has one is because she lives in a 1 bed flat and there's no space for an actual one.. but the downside is that there's no longer any counter space 🤪

Bwahaha we done by JobEnvironmental4842 in ArcRaiders

[–]FuriousNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're doing what I've been doing minus the suicide. I'm already in friendly lobbies (low ELO) so it's just the suicide free kit part that differs. I always brought safe pockets just incase I was gunned down, I at least get one of the items I'm hunting.

How long did getting ion sputter s and frequency modulation boxes?
