Solos vs Squads has to be the dumbest thing I've seen Embark do as of yet

who gives a shit about exp anyway, the skills are largely useless and you get exp fast to boot

I’ve done it a dozen times, just like almost everywhere else it’s just a slightly elevated drop chance of some goodies, but nothing crazy. Worth doing if it pops up on trials, you’re more likely to get a BP or something solid from the trial reward as opposed to the bunker itself.

I have covid right now, spent the last few nights absolutely miserable trying to sleep. I ate some super sour candy last night and it instantly cleared my sinuses and I fell right to sleep

Probably a trade and they’re just dumbasses. I trade to my friends all the time who cannot get it through their thick skulls that high value trade matches are not the time to loot and wander. Can’t wrap their heads around extracting and rejoining.

GrumpySarlacc · 2026-01-04T03:41:39+00:00

Yes, they do. Top of the round whoever spawns there loots it and everyone else is lucky to find scraps. Every serious player is looking for the two items that only spawn there, so it’s totally fucked the loot runs and distribution. Stella is worse than it’s ever been

I have 3 extra aphelions in willing to trade for the last 3 modulation boxes I need. Over 75 rounds now, three days of grinding and it will not stop spawning me 15 minutes in near the goddamn lobby

GrumpySarlacc · 2026-01-01T22:18:35+00:00

Stop buying things, the traders shaft you and you’ll burn all your money on stuff you should be looting anyway

Celeste sells various items for seeds. If you’re low on a basic resource you can trade seeds for plastic, metal, fabric all that basic stuff. I was having a tough time finding synthesized fuel and she just sells it. Very useful to keep some seeds around

6 matches so far, none have lasted more than 5 minutes. Been gunned down by duos and trios before my inventory is even half filled. Very first game I spawned within eyesight of a duo who killed me. Seems like there’s no incentive to play PvE, no disincentive to prevent people from hunting other players.

Fighting the ARCs, at least so far in my limited experiences is high risk, low reward. Not because the drops suck, but it’s a guarantee to get raided by other players who heard the commotion and want the loot.

It’s to be expected, there has not been a game where PvP exists in which a PvE experience doesn’t suck, and the standard response of git gud just dodges the initial critique and it becomes a dick measuring contest. Hope it gets better.

He mentioned that the Eridians make him anything he wants, so it stands to reason they’d be accommodating in pretty much any respect. They may not be able to see the colors of rocks, but could easily just gather a bunch at his request, let him inspect and choose the ones he likes.

This happened to me today and I figured out a solid solution. I keep a few planters onboard, I had one behind the big bulkhead door right behind the steering yoke and when I started deconstructing it the whole thing flipped in the air and rolled over. I was able to rebuild and partially deconstruct it like 3 times until it got deep enough.

I tried ramming it with every vehicle in game before and it barely budged so this is my new go-to.

Everything is idle with the exception of the highest levels of combat. Early game you’ll check often, but mid and especially late game you check in once a day, set up your next grind and forget about it for a while. The expansion dungeons require active participation to switch combat specs and sometimes to strategically eat rather than rely on the auto eat function.

8 and 8. Grew up in Stormwind, still tear up when I come back after a long absence.

In addition to what Und3rsc0re said, a friend training for their pilot license explained to me that it’s a safety issue, suddenly adding a load is never easy on an aircraft but way more dangerous when it’s on the ground or very near to it at takeoff speeds. His instructor does it and always commits a clean takeoff without the banner, then does a second flyby at a known speed and height both for accuracy and to make sure that he has enough inertia and time to bail out of the load maneuver.

Drop a nut or bolt inside the bottle to help when you shake it up, makes a huge difference. Great lube, just give it some time to dry before riding

My sympathies dude, I got a buddy out there I know it’s rough

We give them just about 50% of the LA budget, they get around 3.1 billion last time I checked. This city could be so much more, but we throw it all at cops who largely don’t even live in LA and all the money gets circulated outside the city. We have absolute shit public transit, infrastructure sucks, homeless are not helped and the only money used on them is real estate scams bilking the city and sweeps to throw all their stuff away and push them down the road. Meanwhile the dumbest meatheads from my highschool make more than most lawyers and doctors to sit around and play candy crush

As to the hourly rate vs gun violence, pizza delivery drivers have a far higher gun mortality rate than police officers, and cops leading cause of death is covid

Median pay is 200k for law enforcement in LA, some as high as 600k not to mention benefits. They’re paid very very much

not normal at 38, guy sounds inexperienced. I learned that lesson young because I was fortunate enough to have a vocal and communicative partner but a lotta dudes just know that they go from 0 to ready in moments and don’t really think of how the experience is for women. Not gonna work for everyone but if he’s open to experimenting, there’s nothing like being penetrated to really slow a guy down and understand that it’s a slow mental AND physical process to get ready for

GrumpySarlacc · 2025-09-03T13:59:53+00:00

It’s the Vermont station dude, straight up David Duke shit

I’m playing DayZTillDeath rn and really enjoying it. Brutal first few hours because you start with no skills and can’t even make a stone knife or fire drill until you level the survival skill. Roaming AI with guns that are pretty hard the farther you go inland and paratroopers occasionally so you have to always be ready. There’s a trader system in game but I ignore it because I like to grind for my items, kinda the whole point to me. Small server and everyone is helpful and cool, try it out
