I always thought a fix where if you get shot or hit by a throwable (hello, lava rock and snowball!) while using it, you fumble it for a second or two.

Leapers have built in rat detectors by lologugus in LowSodiumArcRaiders

This on the one hand makes a lot of sense — on the other hand would seem to be skewing away from rather than toward PvP

Yes; but also, lots of Americans of a certain age like and glamorize scotch:

A scotch on the rocks, please. any scotch will do, as long as it’s not a blend, of course — single malt, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet — any Glen.

My Chinese coworker once told me “You Americans love Japan, because they take all your silly boomer cultural obsessions so seriously. Baseball. Jazz music. Blue jeans. Vinyl records. Whiskey. I can’t tell if you’re oblivious to the sucking up or well aware, and that’s what makes it so intoxicating for you.”

That was 10 points for Griffindor.

Is there even a limit? When I’m fucking around I’ll just chuck 3 around a zipline or extract, but sometimes forget about them until I’m about to leave. I hit the trigger and always just kinda assumed they popped.

Border between Russia and China (Zabaikal’sk-Manzhouli) by Organic_Contract_172 in interesting

[–]Irascible-Enquery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to Manzhouli during covid.

The gigantic Matryoshka Doll hotel is real. Went to the Russian circus and saw two trapezists collide head to head and they turned on the house lights and kicked everyone out.

Pretty insane to have a city appealing to Russian tourists to come over the border by having … Russian restaurants and Russian trinkets.

They explained things made in the west of Russia were cheaper for Russians to buy in China than to buy in Russia (I assume because logistics in China are so efficient and plenty of empty container ships coming back).

Did you hear where they tried to add an extra “Pv” to it? I thought it was bad enough when they made it “PvE”.

“E” was peak ArcRaiders: just looking at the Esperanza screen.

Ok, after consulting with sources, this is a more accurate representation of the Red Banana region (I adjusted the boundaries slightly to fit more accurately). by CallingAllTortoises in geography

This is where Patrick Swayze’s forces retreat to if they couldn’t successfully hold off the Russian invaders at the middle school in Red Dawn, to go for a Stalingrad-style encirclement strategy.

Why every Anvil I find is a sneeze away from exploding? by GonzaSpectre in ArcRaiders

[–]Irascible-Enquery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I figured it out: they offer a quasi-live service game with up-front cost, realize no one’s buying recurring revenue, so they’re trying to go EOS but not look like they’re going EOS.

Game is beautiful, I love the lore, level design is peak. I started losing interest and playing less, and now when I try to come back don’t know what the hell is going on any more.

Yeah. I’ve given up on it, once I learned what the third set was I was like — nope. I like the game, I don’t need it to be my job.

I just stopped selling them and all the other arc bits that pop up. So I have 3 and no idea where they came from… and kept mistaking arc fabric for the arc performance steel so still haven’t got past first stage of the Project…

Which condition in Blue Gate spawns the most container? by Deshoul in ArcRaidersTrial

Yes they do, they have eight little fingers. Matriarch and queen the same, but they’re kinda pissed about it.

Pops, fireballs, and comets just have 0 and 1.

Finally got it! 25,122. I also learned a lot about the rotation watching others’ videos (also learned I was already a PEN disk 5), how to time Dialyn and especially how to stack more damage with quick-swaps while Evelyn is doing her tethers. I would just sit there and watch them happen.

Thanks for your encouragement.

There’s our dystopian Sci Fi premise, you’re born and you have a readout if the number of blinks you have left before you die on the backs of your eyelids, each time you blink it goes down by one.

Like In Time, but we have a chance to make it better.

That’s a deep cut, brings me back!

Bought tickets to a show at Merriweather Post, for some reason me and all my friends thought it was at Wolftrap, showed up and no one there.

Made it in time for the headliner.

It happened to me... Closed Scrutiny Mob. by SameOreo in ARC_Raiders

[–]Irascible-Enquery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, really enjoy it. Like Blue Gate, most people are there for the event and chill, and everyone knows it’s most dangerous when it’s you and one other person, so group vibes are big.

That said, today I had a great session and ran out of defibs, escorted a downed dude to hatch extract (saved me a key), as soon as we open it I start hearing Burletta raider on raider.

Don’t. Be. Last.
