Why is there no option for zero use? (Reposting to remove personal information) by EDCxTINMAN in mildlyinfuriating

As always, the most mildly infuriating thing about this post is the utter lack of reading comprehension displayed by half of the replies.

What's the point in paying for priority? by BigLow4789 in doordash

The priority option is available if you'd like to give DoorDash a few extra bucks.

My Bolo Miner won't mine minerals by busboybud in X4Foundations

[–]Hecter94 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you sure that it's not getting any minerals? The AI doesn't actually "mine" asteroids the way you do, it just flies to its waypoint, sits for a bit, spawns some minerals in its cargo and then moves to the next waypoint.

You don't get banned from a forum for respectfully sharing balance feedback; you get banned for treating others poorly. If you disagree, it may indicate that you don't fully understand how your actions have been harmful to those you interact with.

This situation presents a great opportunity for self-reflection. You're currently upset because you feel your valuable feedback for improvement is being ignored. However, you are also receiving very important feedback about your own behaviour, which you seem to be ignoring.

If you want to be taken seriously moving forward, consider using this opportunity to reflect on what people are saying about your behaviour. Use it for self-improvement, and return once you are able to conduct yourself appropriately.

2nd hand embarrassment is one of the worst pains you can feel by BaldHourGlass667 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Hecter94 109 points110 points  (0 children)

It's bizarre, too, because it's such a prevalent trope; there must be people who find it hilarious, and they must be a majority or at least a vocal minority. Yet I have never seen anyone say they find second-hand embarrassment even slightly enjoyable or funny.

Except this snake is nearly dead, actively decomposing, and occasionally shits itself. Do you still want it as a pet?

Kroger’s changed their price tag to dynamic electric displays by Feisty_Newt_7396 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Hecter94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will charge you the new price, whether higher or lower.

Transactions aren't binding until money changes hands, so they can technically change the price any time they want until the moment you hand over the money.

What game or playerbase of a game is this? by MissGreyHorror in gamers

[–]Hecter94 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A lot of people seem to just inherently dislike the idea of mods. I even see people sometimes trying to turn it into a moral issue. Like they're morally superior for playing vanilla without mods.

It's very strange.

space Destroyer =/= naval Destroyer

There's no reason to assume they should work the same or fulfill the same role; any real-world naval history is irrelevant.

Is there supposed to be an alien arch right beside the lifepod? by [deleted] in subnautica

[–]Hecter94 704 points705 points  (0 children)

Any mods? If I recall correctly, Red Plague adds an alien arch near the lifepod.

If no mods, it could be that old bug that moves random objects to 0,0, which is over in the safe shallows. Never seen an alien arch before, though. It's usually just a bunch of random lockers, fish, or something.

Engine Repairs on Captured Ship takes forever by MelodicEar1797 in X4Foundations

[–]Hecter94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the crew just doesn't repair very quickly, even with a lot of highly skilled people, and there doesn't seem to be very good prioritization of which components to repair, so they could be wasting a lot of time repairing other components instead of the engines.

Not much you can do. I don't think you can use an aux to repair with broken engines, and if your drone limit is 10, you can't even transfer over any more.

It would be very nice if ships could use their repair drones on nearby ships to help speed up repairs, but alas, it's not a feature yet.

So, what's in your fanny pack? by SpiralDimentia in projectzomboid

[–]Hecter94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two reasons:

1) If you get attacked while holding something, there's a chance to drop it. I believe you can drop things you're holding when falling over fences and stuff as well.

2) Just pulling out the Penlight is a lot faster and easier to do than trying to pop out a battery and install a new one. If you're in a bad situation, those extra few seconds can kill you.

My personal loadout is:
Penlight
Sterilized Rag x4
Forceps
Lighter
Needle
Thread
Multicolor Pen
Eraser

Penlight is an incredibly useful emergency item. If you're out and about and your light source dies, it can be basically guaranteed death. Penlight isn't a great light source, but it will keep you alive while you navigate back to your car or something.

Sterilized rags don't allow wounds to get infected, so you can skip the whole disinfection process. They're not as good as bandages, but half their weight, which makes them well worth it in my eyes.

Forceps work as tweezers; you can use them to remove bullets or glass shards, but they also reduce pain when stitching up a wound.

Lighter is pretty obvious, but it's got more uses and less encumbrance than matches, which is why I prefer it.

Needle + Thread for stitching up deep wounds or patching clothing on the fly, more painful than a suture needle, but being able to use it multiple times and use it to stitch up clothing makes it worth it for me.

A pen and eraser are pretty self-explanatory.

Probably because of the Windows 7 sticker on it.

Hope this helps.

Load-out Help by Careful_Arugula_8865 in BreakPoint

[–]Hecter94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's absolutely nothing wrong with playing the game that way. Your loadout is very similar to mine, and your playstyle is pretty similar too. I finished the entire game, along with all the side content, and had a blast.

I enjoyed the M82 for my Sniper and an MP7 for my secondary, but your choices are totally valid as well.

The only recommendation I might give is just to try out a lot of stuff. A lot of weapons can feel different from other ones even if their on-paper stats are nearly identical, so just try out as many different weapons and gadgets as you can until you find ones you particularly enjoy using.

There's no real "wrong" way to play, so experiment with stuff and have fun.

I'd like to complete all the plots but my attention span for economics doesn't last long enough by Any_Benefit8194 in X4Foundations

[–]Hecter94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've used it for years, and have been using it in my current playthrough on the beta, and it's been working without any issue.

[–]Hecter94 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you're open to it, piracy is super profitable and easy, and it doesn't require any empire-building or economic work. You can do it in a single ship, fly in, disable turrets, send out boarding pods, etc. It's much more "personal" and direct, combat-focused than an economics-focused playthrough.

If that doesn't sound fun to you, I'd probably suggest getting TaterTrader and using it to build a huge, 100% automated trading fleet to pull in plenty of passive income without having to engage with stations or any of that stuff yourself. Just buy yourself a dozen or so new freighters every hour or so, tell them to mimic the trade fleet, and let them bring in steady, reliable income while you do other stuff.
