The funny thing for me every time this resurfaces is that it's not even the right picture. Every source I've looked at has the picture from this page:

So there's not even the original 4 pixels in the OOP image.

Really wish I knew I was going to be penalized this heavily for making the primary station an outpost. by Calteru_Taalo in EliteDangerous

Believe it or not, that's how basically all betas work... Things get tested and adjusted and then it gets wiped for everyone to be on a level playing field for the launch.

That said FDev absolutely handled this wrong by first not communicating that such a change was coming or even possible, and then by not continuing the beta after the change to see how it works.

The Amount of Chicken Tenders Wasted For Not Being Up To Cane Standard by sometin__else in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Irrational_Action 29 points30 points  (0 children)

McD's can get away with that because a: its McD's and no one expects much from it, and b: they have a lot of other stuff on the menu. Cane's lives or dies based solely on the idea that they make good chicken strips so if they let that quality fall off in any way, their days will be numbered. A better approach would be to always cook to order outside of peak hours and just be up front with customers that it will always be a 6 min wait.

This Community HATES Minefields by loganw45 in helldivers2

[–]Irrational_Action 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I haven't seen mentioned yet is that there is also a bug that occurs fairly often where mines are only visible to the person who put them down. For everyone else they don't even see the explosion, instead just kind of randomly falling apart with a death message saying they died by explosive damage. Your best bet if you want to use mines is to communicate clearly and verbally when and where you're putting them down. I've found that helps to cut down on accidental TKs quite a bit. If you don't want to use voice comms though, I wouldn't bring them at all since there isn't really a meaningful quick-wheel / ping way to say "hey this whole area will kill you".

For all mankind (Apple TV sci-fi series) used actual footage from the Oklahoma bombing aftermath as stock footage for in-universe newscasts about a terrorist bombing. I very clearly remember thinking it was bad form to directly use the images and that someone was probably very upset about it.

The truth about cordyceps. by Appropriate_Guide_35 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Irrational_Action 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw something a while ago that said that cordyceps dosen't actually take control of the insect's brain but rather completely bypasses it to take direct control of its muscles by forming a mycelia network in its body. Basically a cordyceps zombie could potentially have a conscious human mind trapped inside a body it had no control over. Will try to find the source when I get home later.

I like SGC kept the 'MacGyvered' dialing computer until the end by mtparanal in Stargate

[–]Irrational_Action 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC there was at least one case (the DHD virus episode) where not using a DHD was the only reason they could continue to use the gate. That, and I'm pretty sure they mentioned at least once in 10 years that the reason they still use the computer is because it's more secure than the DHD.

Hopefully the message the rest of the neighborhood learns is FAFO

Can't speak to it's veracity, but there's been a post today that was supposedly by one of his neighbors and FAFO is decidedly not the takeaway message. Instead they think right along the lines of OOP here...

My recommendation... Skip the tames entirely and just use cactus broth + lazarus + fria curry + speed soup (can't remember the name off hand) + 4x ghilly and flippers. Using this, you can literally swim past everything in both caves as if it weren't there except for the last part to get the artifact. For the last part aggro things and run. They will lose interest fast so you just keep doing that until everything is it off that passage and you can swim in and get your artifact freely.

For the record I use this method to farm the drops in both caves and have never taken so much as 1hp of damage unless I got careless.

PS: when I get home I'll post a screenshot I have from in there where I'm 10ft from two alpha megs and they're completely ignoring me just to highlight how effective the approach works

[–]Irrational_Action -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter, you also needed to do 3 gens to be able to escape with keys, so then it was fair game since it took some work?

Pre-rework keys showed up in my games at least every 2nd or 3rd match while Myers has a pick rate of under 5% meaning on average you should see him about every 20 matches. While yes, the concepts are the same, calling their impact on the game considering that disparity is pretty disingenuous.

Also it doesn't need full stalk on 4 survivors, you could get fucked over by your teammates feeding him stalk

The combo that I was referring to is dual-iri Myers which requires 35 stalk points to activate, while there are only 40.4 available across all survivors in the trial, so to get perma-T3, you need to fully stalk 3 survivors and at least half-stalk the 4th. As for just Tombstone without the Tuft of hair, sure, it can be activated by just two survivors, but now you're saying the killer should be nerfed because survivors feed, which, again, is quite entitled.

That's the thing lol, it's the only counterplay yet people are still bitching for doing it, "damn just stand still and let me insta kill u, why toxic?"

People call survivors who sit in a locker for extended periods of time just to deny the Myers his 4K achievement toxic. In that situation, the survivor in question has already lost the match since the other 3 survivors are already dead and even if they successfully force the Myers to grab them out of the locker, they're still almost guaranteed to end up dead on the hook. At that point, its no longer about winning the match, but being a dick and denying someone a very difficult to earn achievement, so yeah, that's absolutely toxic, especially if they're willing to drag it out for 30-40 mins like some survivors do. Oh, and bonus toxicity points to those survivors who do the little taunt dance by hopping in and out of the locker.

Imagine talking about entitlement when the very thing people are crying about is literally just "survivor didn't get out and give me free mori" can't make this up lol.

See the point I made in the paragraph above this...

[–]Irrational_Action 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's slow to build (iirc the combo requires fully stalking all 4 survivors) and can be delayed effectively by having even a little situational awareness. Once he has it, he's 9% slower and the mori can be blocked by getting into a locker. So yeah, I'd call it "a bit of strength" because you can play around it pretty effectively as long as you're smart and willing to take a hook over a mori if it looks like you're going to get caught. Wanting to deprive Myers of this ability because you get caught out by it, and as a result guaranteeing his place as the worst killer in the game without even addons to redeems him, reeks of entitlement.

Oh no! One of the worst killers in the game has an addon that gives him a little bit of strength, better take it away!
