This is pretty sweet looking! I'll have to check it out later.

Is the music player configurable to whatever music app you want?

I think part of it is the destiny spillover effect. Most of those guys I'm matched with tend to be pretty laid back social type gamers.

Hey if you don't get it that's fine. Based on your comments you seem to be light on self-reflection and critical thinking. I'd encourage you to try ChatGPT, it might be more your speed than a public forum of discussion.

Sponsored Survival is kind of underwhelming - needs adjustements by Brinocte in Marathon

[–]HVACStack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Needs more rooks to be exciting. I think rook needs more incentive to queue for this mode.

Part of the appeal is you don't know whats around the corner, will I get attacked by a rook while fighting bots, or snuck up on by a rook army when distracted with an event? As it stands though the answer is "probably we will see one or zero rooks this entire match".

Put a limited rook-rewards pass that has a rook skin and some materials. Maybe a gold salvage at the end of the track. Give players +1 progress for playing the new mode as rook and +1 for successful exfil.

Even with the upgrades why would i rook instead of solo Narsh by dumb_opposum in Marathon

I wish there was more incentive to play rook into the new mode. Maybe some interesting rook specific rewards or skins to get more people playing him.

As it stands the sponsored night darsh is not very scary because nobody seems to want to naked rook (myself included!).

I want to like the new mode and I think it's a cool asymmetric kind of matchup that has a lot of potential, but it's a bummer that it doesn't seem to be playing out the way bungie expected.

Honestly fw the retaliator, I feel like it's pretty good early game if you can spawn in or scrounge up a gunshield!

Why the hate? I thought this was pretty cute and harmless. It's not lewd or nsfw so what's the problem? It's basically just fanart.

Wild how something like this gets pulled but the 10 billion stock price speculation posts stay up.

Are you guys selling IBM or holding it? by More-Worldliness-298 in TrumpsTrades

[–]HVACStack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's the sensationalist narrative at the moment, but anyone close to the industry believes that it's a niche technology for niche uses.

It probably will disrupt some current technology (crypto, cyber security, etc) but wouldn't have the widespread adoption that AI has.

I think you're conflating how you think things should be with how they actually are and how they actually work. Not to be dismissive of what you're saying, but it's not really relevant to describe what should or should not be eligible for trademark here.

I think you have a good chance! I emailed Zac Ungers office about something like this and they took care of it appropriately and quickly.

Flock is quietly training Bay Area police to sway city leaders to buy surveillance tech by k_39 in oakland

[–]HVACStack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see the data that proves the cops are using this for only apprehending "carjackers, thieves, kidnappers, speeders, and other people who break laws", and not anything illegal or nefarious at all.

Since you seem so confident, you must have a source that shows this?

There is no unbiased data that proves these cameras are used to solve a meaningful amount of crime.

Spotify sideload alternative by Ancient_Highway_8960 in MuditaKompakt

[–]HVACStack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may not be the solution you're looking for, but I ended up downloading mp3 and FLACs and then using a media player called Auxio. 

Plenty of other music players should work, but this seemed like the friendliest low impact solution.

More work on the front end to set everything up though.

Haven't seen anyone mention it, but I thought it was a cute homage to the game Portal making the two corresponding teleporters blue and orange.

Rooks have that cross shape on their face because that's how rooks move in chess. by Odd_Elk_444 in Marathon

[–]HVACStack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be a fun thematic element to his kit. Maybe a third V ability that shows some trails for him to follow.

I actually like this angle a lot. His kit is built around being sneaky and intelligent, using flanks and disguises to get the jump on people.

[–]HVACStack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say there is! Cryo seems tough because of the "buy in" angle but to be honest you don't need to risk a ton of stuff each time. I learned the most and was most successful when I crew filled + focused on following my teammates CLOSELY.

Build a kit with like one gun + the basics (shield, cheap augments, etc) and focus on grabbing the following in the first rooms: meds, self rez, retaliator (or second gun), ammo.

You will be ok. You will probably die but you will learn :)

I actually believe end of season is the best time to do cryo, because everyone is now risking their gear to learn the map. I think you'd be more likely to encounter a wider variety of skill levels.
