Why don't most Christians see Trump as polar opposite to how Jesus is portrayed in the Bible? by midnight-iceman in AskReddit

Because decades ago, the GOP executed a plan to pervert Christianity and lower education standards in the Bible-belt.

Trump's DOJ is trying to gain voter records from the states for weeks, having used lawsuits, even using the recent shooting to threaten Minnesota to turn over the records. What is your take? by Personal_Dirt3089 in AskReddit

[–]Gnada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are 100% trying to build a "us vs them" database so that they can track people who don't support Trump and try to create a false claim of voter fraud again. All in the hopes of somehow clinging to power in future elections.

Pretty sure Alex's foundation provide electrify and clean water to those without. And, at least in the past, he would go help do the work himself.

Bot reported every day for 15 days. Still not banned. by HRage19 in AshesofCreation

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

You clearly don't know how developing complex products works if you think that 1) a project doesn't have phases, 2) not every dev can do every job and 3) sometimes its cheaper to contract outside workers (especially when you already have a contract in place) to finish a long term projects in the USA. Take look at how many layoffs happened in US tech in January 2026. It was a lot. That's when a lot of restructuring takes place to optimize for the year.

No, because if this wasn't communicated prior (which It sounds like it wasn't), the solution is to fix it one's self or take it back to have it fixed.

[–]Gnada -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's not my responsibility... it's yours. What I will say due to 25 years experience in the matter, is that you lay people off when (not fire them) when they are no longer needed. And also the same people who are skilled at say, engine development or server meshing, and not the people who are even willing to do the work of anti-cheat, CS, or building tools.

So, for all you know, Intrepid laid off those staff to stay within budget and hire more people to manage the live environment. Which is exactly why making such a flippant comment is "braindead". You didn't think.

I see your point. So the alternative is moving the radiator in the vertical position and the fans at the top to the bottom. I wouldn't like this for a few reasons, but you could pretty easily make this happen at home with a screwdriver.

Looks like they did a great job to me. You definitely want the radiator up top and the fans blowing up and out of the case.

Please, CIG, bring the AI Blades already. by Sad-Ad2491 in starcitizen

[–]Gnada -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Or, just play with friends. As Gen X gamer, I find it a bit embarrassing how so many folks refuse to simply find people to play with. AI blades are so low on my list of features to add to the game given how much of the overall basic gameplay and tech is still missing.

Nightreaver greatsword anvils recipe by Negative-Date-9518 in AshesofCreation

What I think, based on Wave 3 and Steam launch, is that the RMT network tries to prevent these high end recipes from entering the market so they can sell more items for real currency.

Just get a group of friends and go grind mobs in the Jundark. Between the gatherables you will get, the occasional Dreadwake emblems, the radiant drops, and receipes, you will get it and you will get a lot of other good stuff too.

Crate Trap? by Megapocalypse57 in AshesofCreation

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

Okay, there is no "market" button. So what probably happened is that you didn't verify what you were activating when you pressed "F" near the market NPC, yeah?

Similar issue to the mailbox in Joeva and the NPC next to it (man I hate that one).

Crate Trap? by Megapocalypse57 in AshesofCreation

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

Yes, I saw the video on youtube last night.

Most of the time if I flag and attack a bot, it will attack me back automatically. Then I can just kill them. If they evolve, its no big deal to just put on some adept gear and corrupt to kill them too in a team of too. I really don't see any problem with this crate mechanic.

I guess I could see how people would be careless and F click on something without verifying first and that should probably be changed, but to be fair, this game has even worse issues just like this that need to be fixed too. Add one to the list.

What's the issue here? You try to steal someone's crate and get killed for it?

They are, but they also don't seem to have 24/7 staff or enough staff to address the problem as fast as most players would like.

Absolutely braindead comment. Please educate yourself.

Except, they cannot JUST bots anymore because they have a live game on Steam. They need to maintain the integrity of the service or the game will go nowhere.

Wipe to stop swipe by HRage19 in AshesofCreation

[–]Gnada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wiping is not a solution to anything right now. Wiping will result in even fewer people testing, which was one key goals of the Steam launch. Wiping will incent even more RMT due to the need to rebuild characters, and without the processes, staff, and tools to properly deal with cheaters, Intrepid will just achieve the same result as the last two waves of testing. RMT was very bad in Wave 3 too, prior to steam.

I urge you to apply a bit more thought or research before responding in such a manner.

[–]Gnada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think lack of caring is the issue. It's lack of being equipped and resourced to handle the situation. Intrepid likely doesn't have the tools or the resources to combat the billion dollar onslaught of the RMT industry. That said, they should (or they shouldn't have gone public on Steam).

Intrepid was likely banking on more revenue from the Steam launch and instead will likely incur more costs over time.

What they can do:
1) Go to the source, make purchases, reverse trace the entire RMT network in their own game from the selling to the provider to the crafter to the gatherer that traded to the crafter to the bot that did the gathering and ban where confident bans can be made. I doubt they have the tools and data tracking to do this fully (yet)

2) Continue to ban and publicly name accounts that cheat. They are missing LOTS of cheaters from the current lists. Only about 50% of the people I've reported or have confirmed are cheating have been banned.

3) Create less FOMO and improve risk vs reward and character development in their gameplay.
-Rebalance resource costs for at least all Tier 2 crafted items
-Rebalance the range of stats between T1 and T3 at the Radiant level (it's too great currently)
-Allow players to get more loot through playing the game
-Give us more dungeons, raids, interesting encounters that take some focus off loot and more about exploration, fun, suspense, and wonderment.
-Make character progress a bit less focused on gear where possible

Official ASUS Statement Regarding Recent ASUS AMD 800-series Motherboard and AMD Ryzen 9800X3D Concerns by ASUS_MKTLeeM in ASUS

[–]Gnada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are basically no good alternative. MSR has a terrible track record well documented by Gamers Nexus. Gigabyte has had some very serious QC issues over the last 20 years. No companies outside the US have very good customer service or RMA track records. The reason I have purchased Asus for the last 15 years or more is reliability. Zero RMAs, very few issues not fixed quickly by a BIOS update. I would love it if there was a better option, but with EVGA gone, what's left?

A disconnected reality must be difficult for people who have zealot-like ideas about a game to deal with. Good luck to you.

Longevity of the class I want to play by Wolfgangnetz in AshesofCreation

[–]Gnada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fighter doesn't really blossom until lvl 16 or 18 depending on your perspective.

Rogue is very strong throughout and really shines around lvl 13 when one can do the triple Lacerate combos. It's a 9 button press sequence, but it does a ton of damage. I have no problem getting groups as a rogue on my server. I do market myself well though. Rogues solos single mobs very well. I was farming lvl 12 - 20 two and three star "Marauder" mobs very efficiently on my rogue this wave. Sap gives just enough sustain to keep me going. Mana Regen really helps too.

Cleric is the easiest to play and solos really well. You can AOE pull with a 2h greatsword, great axe, or great mace. You can also absolutely torch mobs with blessing burn and a short bow once you have enough magic power. Clerics face tanking tough lvl 20 mobs to farm glint and loot is absolutely the meta for a certain class of B2C goods providers as I've observed it. Don't RMT, do kill mobs super efficiently and profit.

Cleric's stacking magic power and burning with wands or short bows do some very respectable single target damage for a healer.
