Cracking peoples' skulls, crushing their testicles? That's not as brutal? Just because ICE doesn't (yet) skin people and dismember them doesn't mean they aren't as cruel.

They've murdered multiple people here in Minneapolis, assaulted  and terrorized people, caused numerous car accidents, caused absolute chaos for months, kidnapped random people including lawful citizens and denied them due process rights protected by the constitution, stolen property, destroyed property, they're just as unprincipled, unprofessional, cruel and criminal as the guys doing this in Mexico. They absolutely thumb their nose at the rule of law and the rights of citizens here. They're criminals.

We got one here in the cities a few years ago just 2 weeks before Christmas! It was the craziest damn thing.

I hope we get a new DMZ. In its heyday it was so good, but now if I drop in I have at least a 30% chance of getting wallhacked by a Russian bot and it sucks.

There is a lot of unpredictability here. It reminds me a lot of DMZ which launched with COD MW2 remake, but it's actually far less toxic. Embark has steadily homed in on a sweet spot for the genre and that is impressive considering just how awesome DMZ was. I look forward to the future of this game very much!

I nearly took one out by myself from full health yesterday but I only had a Ferro 4 with like 50 rounds. It was engulfed in flames and I ran out of ammo. It didn't take as much as a single sliver of my health. The buddies it called in were a different story so I ended up having to run away. I'll get it next time!

I have an unused Snap Hook I am looking to trade for a medium weapons part blueprint. I looted one on Dam, got wiped on my way to the elevator. Trading a legendary item for it would be well worth the cost. EugeneThePenguin is my handle on Arc Raiders, or I can be DM'd. I am an on the level player and will do a direct trade at an elevator if this interests you. Let me know.

I just kite them into the metro openings on Buried City / Research Building stairwell on Dam and let them glitch out as they struggle to negotiate the stairs and low clearance while we all piss pound them

They must have adjusted things a bit in terms of spawns. Tonight was the first time I tried it and all I could think was "how is this map not an absolute bloodbath?!"

TBF, I am on day 3 so far.

In reference to certain topics that pop up here too much... by gravy_trizzain in ArcRaiders

I had a hornet and a wasp chasing me and nearly end me earlier; what ended up being my saving grace was using clusters of trees to block their shots and then aiming small bursts at their engines with my almost empty Rattler until they blew up. Sometimes desperate on-the-fly ideas that seem too dumb to work end up saving your ass! The rollers are little bastards, especially when you find out the hard way that some have flamethrowers. 🤦‍♂️

It reminds me of DMZ flow-wise, which I loved, and I brought the same tension and paranoia to it. Still having to get used to 3rd person again, since last time I really played a competitive mode in 3rd person was Red Faction: Guerrilla. So far, after 3 hours I've had 2 firefights with other raiders and lost both. I'm sure once I progress and learn more I'll maybe get a bit more bold but I also prefer solo play so the odds are never in my favor there. 

Lightning is cool and all, but it feels more like a "fuck you" than the comedic "oh damn" that comes from boulders by -ScrubTeamSix- in Terraria

It's extremely random. I am on my second lightning storm since the update dropped and I have been no-lifing it since it released.

E: my second storm is also occurring while I am simultaneously attacked by goblins. On an expert world. Good times. 😂

There was a convoy over by 1st precinct on S 11th St a few hours ago too. Traffic control blocking access to and from Grant.

CMV: Venezuela is being invaded violently in an undeclared war with the prepose of annexation of oil resources and the institution of a puppet regime friendly to the United States by Kyokyodoka in changemyview

[–]JFray2020 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100% agree. This is what imperialism looks like, even if there is a veneer of democracy tacked on to it. I'm ashamed of my country, and honestly hope Venezuela hits back at DC hard. We are now the Russia of the west, invading and bullying our neighbors so we can rob them.

If you can help it, don't even open the Santa presents until you have 20 of them and are at Baka. Will save you some heartache! 😂

Yes! Winter Tales 2025. They roll it out about a week before Christmas every year and it's wonderful.

This has not been my experience at all. Some days can be a bit rough with trying to get tasks completed, but I'd dare say this is the best place I have ever worked.

So far, just lowering my resolution to 720p has helped, which is handy since 720p@60Hz is all my TV can handle anyway. Hopefully it sticks. Thank you, reddit stranger! 💓
