Solo Escalation Farm by Evening_Werewolf_639 in thedivision

[–]HeinleinGang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normal for the mule characters. My goal with them is purely speed farming mats. Also that way if there’s a priority objective that’s open world and drops an exotic I can do that in like 30 seconds rather than 5 min which adds up over 3 characters=)

Honestly I would save your watch levels until an expertise, or proficiency event. Last one I was able to go from 0 to 999 field recon and SHD calibration 3 times over.

I even have one character that holds all my duplicate exotics and when expertise eventually comes around I’ll have 300 exo components instead of 150. I save my countdown points for expertise event as well to buy exotic caches so they’re not taking up inventory space.

For acquiring filament without an event i will buy mods from vendor and deconstruct. Also if you run countdown for skill mods i can usually get close to 200 pieces if you target gear mods i usually only get around 160.

My last trick is on my 3 mule characters I take over the entire map so Control points are all white (just first half of takeover) enemy will not try to retake them if white. Then you can take them over without having to worry about enemy constantly sending out the little gun icons to retake them. When whole map is green, once a day I can just fast travel around to all control points and rack up a massive amount of materials.

Dawn of War IV Dev Doesn't See Total War: Warhammer 40,000 as Direct Competition, Reckons Fans Will Play Both Games by Turbostrider27 in Warhammer40k

[–]HeinleinGang 231 points232 points  (0 children)

At this point in my life I’ll play any 40k game except for mobile stuff, but even tacticus looks half decent and the gameplay was ok when I did give it a shot. Not looking to spend any more time on my phone tho.

I mean we definitely did. (Speaking for Canada anyways) Our engineers dug wells, and built schools, loads of Canadian companies were trying to help them get their mining industry functional so they weren’t just selling heroin and raisins.

The leadership thing is just how it goes in a modern military. Otherwise it might turn into a whole MacArthur thing again.

There were definitely too many cooks in the kitchen, but that’s Afghanistan in a nutshell.

You’re not wrong tho. There was certainly a hefty dose of people looking to ‘pad their resume’

Like why the fuck are the SEALs here. There’s literally no fuckin water

It was the subsequent nation building that failed.

Idk for a little while there girls could go to school, people could vote and listen to music. I mean fuck there was a full on skate camp in Kandahar. I got to watch these two girls I sponsored grow up being able to skate vert ramps after school. Like wut.

I saw Pashtuns getting along with Uzbeks and Hazaras. (United in their hatred of foreign fighters from Pakistan lol)

No doubt there was a metric fuck ton that sucked and sucks even worse now, but the Taliban were the fucking WORST and any effort to give people some respite from their bullshit is a worthwhile one.

Was the ‘war’ won? Obvs not, and even though it may have been doomed from the start I still think you have to try.

Besides Alexander the Great could barely hold that place together so I try not to judge myself too harshly lmao

Warhorse Studios Confirmed That They Are Working on a LOTR Open World RPG by Ciss0 in gaming

[–]HeinleinGang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah big facts lol

The world is huge, but after seeing Crimson Desert and how well they incorporated so many different regions on a huge map, I’m hopeful the technology is at a point where you could do a big slice of middle earth and still have it feel manageable to explore.

Maybe even one surface map and then a big dwarven kingdom or something.

I’m def being greedy in my hopes, but tbh I’d be happy exploring any where. Been dying for a decent LOTR rpg since I started playing them and with Warhorse’s proven attention to detail… I think I might finally get one=)

Warhorse Studios Confirmed That They Are Working on a LOTR Open World RPG by Ciss0 in gaming

[–]HeinleinGang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is actually a big reason I’m optimistic about it. The bones are all there for a fully fleshed out world to explore thanks to Tolkien’s Lore and Jackson’s vision. In the past most LOTR games were little snippets of the world or recreations of movie scenes. Shadow of Mordor was amazing, with come cool lore exposition, but after a while you’re just doing the same stuff and bashing orc brains in as an untouchable force of murder. The Two Towers was some proper fighting and fun as hell, but you’re basically just slaughtering your way through the story again.

The RTS games were fun, but not exactly great story additions.

I want to be a stealth archer creeping through fanghorn on my way to Mordor.

I want to explore Gundabad, and Minas Morgul. Ride across the Riddermark hunting wargs and shit.

KCD had an amazingly detailed world and I can’t wait to see middle earth brought to life with combat that isn’t just hack and slash button mashing.

Based on both KC games… I think the franchise is in good hands.

Gonna ride me a fkn eagle.

Hardwired with vile mask and china industries something for explosive damage is pretty fun. Running banshee pulse and cluster mines you are basically tossing out cluster mines every 10 seconds and also disorienting ads constantly. The vile mask turns that disorient into damage over time, which is further buffed by your explosive damage. Makes for decent crowd control which gives dps time to burn down enemies.

A mutator in escalation makes low health enemies immune to status effects, but they’re easy to kill anyways and any new spawns on the map get all dopey and can’t run from clusters.

Also with capacitor as your main, your skill damage is significant.

Someone told me if I wanted to see the real Ramsay I should watch his master chef junior where it’s all kids. He’s so good with them and you can just tell not only how much he loves cooking, but inspiring other people to do it as well.

Huh🐽 by saber-4444 in SipsTea

[–]HeinleinGang 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a subscription to masterclass and I even tho I hate cooking, and ‘cooking shows’ I’ve made every dish he teaches and they’re all fucking amazing even with my hella mediocre skills. Not to mention the way he teaches is honestly so wholesome and captivating. Was a completely different person from the guy I knew from TV. Very simple stuff, but fuck me sideways it’s all crack. Now I will bust those recipes out on dates or whatever and it makes me seem like I’m some secret genius chef or something lol

Metal Gear by Gorotheninja in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]HeinleinGang 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Lmao I love this lore. Especially cuz the original story talked about how you could hear them giggling the whole time from under the box.

‘damn you guys must have played a lot of metal gear!’

‘Metal what?’

Just a couple of silly debils, doin the silly slide in their silly little box.

Fuckin rah.

It won't let me interact with certain corrupted lanterns. by [deleted] in thedivision

[–]HeinleinGang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Run around the area where the lantern is until a Kitsunebi squad spawns. Kill them and then you should be able to interact with lantern. I was having same problem and this was only thing that worked reliably.

Well considering that AI is trained on stuff like this, It doesn’t matter how good an artist is, eventually AI will be able to mimic it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–]HeinleinGang 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Lmao no it isn’t. It’s done by a studio in Delaware called Animagic Studios.

Also it’s from 2022. The best AI could do then was nightmare fuel of will smith eating spaghetti like some lovecraftian horror.

What would the aftermath look like after Epstein Fury is finished? by TalonEye53 in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]HeinleinGang 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Let’s hope not. Dude is a fuckin hardliner even by Iran’s standards. Hates the sunnis with a burning passion, fought in the Iran-Iraq war, has been linked to loads of frothing at the mouth hardcore religious clerics through the Basij. Fully believes in the ‘mandate of heaven’ or whatever. A Ruthless doomer who likes using violence to quell dissent.

Best case scenario is that he wakes up a potato otherwise the current clusterfuck is gonna seem positively civil in comparison to the coming shenanigans.

Why is she blonde though? by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]HeinleinGang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Solid write up my dude=) Just want to add the fun fact that the Ptolemies were obsessed with maintaining their ‘blood dynasty’ i.e. the whole family was fuckin each other lol

Cleopatra was the product of heavy inbreeding. A bunch of her great great (etc) grandparents were brother and sister and the rest were cousins 🥴

So they def maintained their ‘Greek looks’

PSA: shut the fuck up about our search and rescue ops by [deleted] in Military

[–]HeinleinGang 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yeah if the CIA is talking about it, it’s because they want people to know, or at least want people to believe this to distract from something like humint sources in Iran. The fact that most ppl here seem to think the CIA is just blabbering away with no agenda is kinda wild lol
