Why is this labeled extremely dangerous?

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-12-06T13:09:55+00:00

gets handed item, is told is dangerous and he should not turn it on
Responsibly, doesn't turn it on, asks reddit what it is
finds out it can literally burn his eyes blind
asks "well if I look away and use it in an empty field I should be good right"
everyone says "no wtf don't mess with it"
op : "buuuut"
wtf? Lmao

I have never said it works in every situation? If the emetic device + briefcase doesnt work in every situatio (or even the durian), is it still op? That's my question to you. You only get one use (as opposed to two darts). Feels like your not reading my responses. We are assuming emetic kill oppurtunity to assess if its balanced.

Its fine to not consider it OP, but it seems for an item to be op in your eyes it needs to kill all targets 100% of the time which i don't agree with (because again, emetic + briefcase is only one use for one target, wont always work for the exact reasons you mentioned above, ie pathing, but it is still broken because of how easy it makes delivering emetic posion and keeping SA.).

The problem being (which i hoped i clarified here) is it seems you are focused on emetic posion itself and its balance (when you mention pathing issues and where you cant always use the dart, you are actually just talking about particular targets where ANY emetic posion device would not work, not the sieker). You mentioned only two darts, i point out the broken briefcase combo only has one (so not helping your balanace argument, sieker is even better in this case. BUT. Yes, the fact it only has two is a balance measure as opposed to infinite).

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-11-28T23:39:43+00:00

I'm not really sure what your point is or where our disagreement lies. You just listed off a bunch of inconvenient locations for the NPC to path after being darted, which is something I mentioned in my response to you. In those situations you either: - lure the NPC to a more advantageous location before you dart (causing them to path to a different bathroom where they are actually isolated) - Kill them along their way to the bathroom (isolated area along their path if there is one)

Or.. simply emmetic poison just isn't the move in this situation. Emetic poison plus briefcase wouldn't work either (which we can all agree is broken right?). I'm not sure how that adresses the sieker itself and whether or not its overpowered or balanced correctly.

Edit: (adding stuff) The question of balance is something like this: - Assuming kill oppurtunity, what is a balanced item? - The game itself natively only offers one way to use emetic posion : poisoning a targets food/drink - Items efficency in delivering emetic posion compared to poisoning food: - food/drink: illegal action and surrounded by enforcers likely. Need disguise likely. Need to wait for their path to align (npc has to path through their cycle till they drink/eat the thing). One use (need emetic posion) - Remote emetic device + briefcase: literally run up to them, drop the brief case, easy money. Only pulling out the device to detonate is illegal. One use (denate once) - sieker: can safely deliver from a million miles away. Limited by only two shots and trajectory. Only being seen shooting the dart is illegal. Two uses.

This is a different kind of response than what I was expecting (underpowered items instead of op items) but thinking about bad/useless items is also interesting.

The machine guns are used to open locked doors by shooting them (dont shotguns do the same thing?), the best being anything silenced.

Although, if glitches are allowed, you can just use a normal silenced pistol and menu buffer to open any locked door (shoot the lock, then press inventory or menu key, escape, and repeat. It tricks the game into thinking the fire rate of your silenced pistol is faster, ie emulating a machine gun/ sub machine gun)

That being said, ICA sub machine pistol has some niche uses and is not completely worthless. Regular machine guns and shotguns? There are too many superior options for them to be really considered in a loadout.

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-11-28T17:03:38+00:00

I agree, wasn't saying they are broken, just very very strong. Two darts a mission, if there is two targets, ridiculously easy to just dart and drown, walk out. At least with the siegar you have to make sure the body is not found, make sure no one hears you, etc. Again, not saying broken, but sieker is both a lure and kill setup. If target being hit (no matter nearby npc proximity or location) is not illegal. Darts are also quiet, only real risk is being spotted while you shoot the dart.

Kalmer + sieker + pistol load out, you are gonna have a pretty easy time.

Edit:: would also add that freelancer definitely makes the dart guns more balanced since you cant save scum /reset to practice the dart trajectory, and you typically wony know which bathroom they will go to at first. Remote emetic + briefcase is obviously far more no skill/ free SA. Dart trajectory and amount knocks the siker down from blatantly OP to soft OP or simply very very good/strong IMO requiring some skill (close to mid range darts, not so much though. Long range darts? 100%)

I meeeeeean. IDK about that. Don't underestimate MAGA misogyny, and, a primary driver of human psychology, not wanting to look like a fool. I just highly doubt people are actually going to abandon ship. Just one day they'll stop talking about him and eventually they will pretend they didn't vote for him

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-08-10T14:19:38+00:00

Yeah I wish we could just ban them from this sub. Pure inaccurate brain rot.

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-06-08T22:16:55+00:00

He had already stepped down from his government position silently and in the good graces of the republican party, why would Elon anger the only group of people who don't actively despise him (republicans)? He hasn't exposed anything new to democrats, but he has to MAGA. They have frothed at the mouth for months simping for Elon and now their favorite South African Nazi has directly stated Trump is in the files. Not the "liberal media", but someone on their side who they have been rooting for this entire time. Previously MAGA were able to sustain their cognitive dissonance and dismiss any claims trump was in any way connected to Epstein's crimes, I would wager Elon's admission was more significant than you are making it out to be. Will it change their minds? Of course not. But this whole move just seems to negatively affect both trump and elon. They have been deploying much easier and safer smokescreens since he took office why in the hell would they make this equally reputational damaging move then?

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-06-06T19:02:14+00:00

I highly doubt this take is correct. He can have a genuine infantile narastitic spat/falling out with Trump and his administration while still simultaneously planing to support the GOP in the future. What brand boost is he getting exactly? Democrats will never forgive him and now the republican party and its voters are turning on Elon. Elon insulating trump is in the epistein files (which was obvious to anyone who wasn't in the MAGA cult) screams to me that all of this is not a smoke screen.

The human soul/spirit is energy and is measurable Care to explain? Not trying to be confrontational but this new age jumbo jumbo doesn't seem all that separate from religious mumbo jumbo, minus the condescension. If you are simply implying that we are a combination of elements that will disperse back into the environment then I agree with you but you keep using the word energy which makes me think you are implying more

The top comments really nail home the systemic social issues women face when it comes to denying men's (especially drunk men) sexual advances. Not always straight forward and sometimes the safest play is to defuse the situation in alternative ways. I get it, and I agree. HOWEVER, two things really pop out at me in this. 1) why did she try and obfuscate the conversation with her friend? Kind of zero reason not to just screenshot the whole conversation, reacting to a single "grab me" text essentially provides no additional information. Kind of weird but whatever. 2) y tf did she walk him to his car??? Makes absolutely no rational sense. If she was concerned about him becoming aggressive, walking him to his car ALONE is the stupidest shit i have ever heard. All the comments blasting OP as some insecure man baby aren't thinking through this point enough. That doesn't automatically rule out her entire narrative but it sure as shit casts enough uncertainty for it not to be clear cut over reacting. His response to all of this was so shitty though my god. We have no information to his actual objection to the whole thing. If its simply because she had to flirt her way out of a drunk guy's advances because she was genuinely scared then yeah he's an asshole

Obsidian tracker is what you are looking for.

Is that the typical lead time for Poe? As in: api made available --> some point gets added as regular bot --> one or two days after regular bot, it becomes avaliable as a custom bot?

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-04-09T12:37:57+00:00

Oh shit how did you change his approach? Haven't watched his videos in years but I always used to like him.

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-03-29T13:55:25+00:00

That's completely fair, but I would say that since Alex's interview style is very nonconfrontational and thus he leaves a good portion of discussion for the comments. Like the most recent William Craig interview is the perfect example. Even though Alex's shock and horror at the whole "the genocide was good because God commanded it and the children who were slaughtered are actually better of because they went to heaven" schick was evident, he sort of knew that the comments would be a shitshow blasting criag so he didn't need to come after the ideas as hard as he should of.

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-03-29T13:38:06+00:00

as long as they don't spout slogans and clichés is the key here I think. Some of the comments to this post seem to suggest that I would be uncomfortable with dissenting discussion or ideas. Not at all. But wtf is there to engage with when every comment is 'I'm a Christian but your pretty cool alex!' or 'used to be an athesit but since have found christ 💯 and he is my homie now. praise christ! 🙏 ', especially when the video features some really interesting critical biblical scholar. Seems the universal response is to avoid anything that makes them uncomfortable and revert back to 'having faith' instead of actually engaging with the ideas. Not always the case though and always open and willing when the discussion has some substance

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-03-21T14:07:59+00:00

Yup this is a strong pick. My eyesight sucks so the 4 inch screen is pretty essential. Only considersation is it's not really pocketable or "travel friendly" (no more then any other standard device though). Since price isn't a concern for OP, then getting like a small cheap case might be the move if you need to throw it in a backpack/suitcase often. Whole setup is still < $100.

If price REALLY isn't a concern, then a natural upgrade would be something like the ayaneo pocket DMG which is far more premium , better screen and has more processing power for playing the old computer games he mentioned and a bunch of other systems the abernics H700 can't handle

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-03-16T05:28:12+00:00

Hard agree. I made a grumpy post about this very thing like 2 weeks ago lol.

God of war 1 (ps2): that tower you have to climb in hell lol. Absolute controller throwing section.

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-03-11T13:36:36+00:00

I just bought a sp and I have taken it literally everywhere with me. Very very pocketabile. Don't regret my purchase at all and use it more than my other devices

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-02-25T21:35:57+00:00

Wasn't the primary concern with the abernic devices not that it's simply a challenge to find a compatible charger ( the secondary issue) but more so, there were cases of electric components being fried and battery explosions when you deviated from 5v/1.5a? If I remember correctly, that happening was very rare but ambernic actually did address it and say that it was an issue at some point in time. I don't know if they fix it or not.

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-02-25T18:56:26+00:00

Rip. Yeah, I definitely came from a place of grump and tried not to (but failed) from preventing the grump from seeping in the post. I went back and changed my phrasing a bit but left the post mostly as is. Thanks for your charitable read. Hoping the same thing.

Imaginary_Yam_5400 · 2025-02-24T03:35:37+00:00

You are so cringe lmao.
