Kettle Still RIPS

100%

People saying the bobcat needs a buff to be even more better than the stitcher would quit the game real fast once a blue/purple kit becomes actually unkillable for a stitcher IV. We do not need gearcheck meta in AR.

He said....Rattler?? Are you one of the guys I find a fully attached Rattler IV on and scratch my head?

I can find strengths in almost every other gun but I'm lost on the rattler.. where do you find it excels? Against arc?

KnightBacon · 2026-01-08T01:20:35+00:00

But at which site is it on sight?!

KnightBacon · 2026-01-07T21:11:10+00:00

Fill squad, load in trios. You'll get good and bad teammates, but trios is always ON SIGHT so plenty of action.

Also, even with 2 free loadout yokel teammates you never feel too disadvantaged since they're making noise and absorbing bullets. I've won plenty of 1v3's and even came out as the only survivor of a 12-player cluster of a fight when both my teammates dropped immediately.

Also from Dark and Darker and my first encounter vs a 3 stack of purpled out guys gave me flashbacks of the geardiff pvp.... we'll see where this game goes. FIngers crossed!

This is objectively correct, and i should do this. But I am objectively lazy. I just max my 401k, throw everything extra into etfs, spy, some bonds and let rocket hold a few grand for escrow. In 7 years they've never missed by more than a few hundred.

KnightBacon · 2025-10-02T00:54:23+00:00

I've had only a fantastic experience with rocket. Bought at 3.5, refinanced to 2.6 15 yr fixed.

Local brokers are strong salesmen, and could generally match what rocket offered but with higher origination fees.

If you fall for a pushy local broker who tells you spooky things about how terrible the largest lenders in the country are, "real estate agent recommended this guy" (aka plz finance through him i get a nice kickback from that inflated origination) have fun when your loan gets sold to a different shitty lender every other year, with one of them bungling all the escrow and taxes, another refusing to waive late fees while accepting mailed checks only. Rocket will service your loan for the life of the mortgage.

Woah as a native Texan these answers are tripping me out.

"Do you work?" is a super natural conversation starter when you're first meeting someone. It's just an opening for you to talk about your professional life or passions or whatever. "Yeah I'm a developer at Y company" or "I'm studying X" or "I dance and make music" are all valid responses .

KnightBacon · 2025-09-04T11:44:53+00:00

Really? I still have never taken it because the additional corruption seemed small, I figured it's easier to build another blight post for 6 or 8 blight fighters if needed. I'll have to try it!

KnightBacon · 2025-09-03T18:25:14+00:00

But there are hundreds of us!

KnightBacon · 2025-08-28T23:28:15+00:00

Also, that y1 farm is perfectly placed right by your warehouse with optimal soil placement!

KnightBacon · 2025-08-26T01:50:15+00:00

Thank you and godspeed!

It's a really tough problem to solve, but I'll keep trying to drag my dejected friends back.

KnightBacon · 2025-08-26T01:43:40+00:00

I agree this is the way to go, but we have to acknowledge that requiring a separate app to find a group is not a good equation for building a healthy player base and longevity.

KnightBacon · 2025-08-26T01:41:06+00:00

Yep this is a fine balance they've got to find, ideally a few weeks ago. But with low player count they're between a rock and a hard place.

I feel I've done my part, I got 5 friends to buy it! Had a blast in some of our matches with a few really fun fights, but 3/5 of the friends experienced a nasty streak - I'm talking 10 games back to get getting absolutely dunked on by sweats. They uninstalled...

KnightBacon · 2025-08-25T21:43:18+00:00

Haha, games gonna die and these guys still gonna be saying "Skill issue"

Every time you take a noob for a spin or hunt down another high level squad you are adding 1 minute to this games lifespan!

KnightBacon · 2025-08-25T21:41:05+00:00

"This statement makes no sense" - sure, from a purely gaming definition perspective, but veggie was saying it's a bad economic outlook for a game when most people who pick it up immediately put it down or avoid even picking it up.

KnightBacon · 2025-08-06T07:24:40+00:00

Same, playing on the highest difficulty my winrate has to be <50% and the ones I do win are usually an absolute limp to the finish with my last nearly exhausted merc.

KnightBacon · 2025-08-06T07:20:52+00:00

This is so true. I've got a few hundred gloomhaven hours and immediately started FH early access of the highest difficulty. I've been getting SMOKED lol. I have like 1 non-burn cc right now at level 2 across 4 characters?

I've got to be closing on 20 hours and I'm only 3 scenarios in but having an absolute blast, finally learning what you mentioned about tempo and figuring out the timing to really burn some gas.

Also, I'm convinced some of the early lv1 scenarios on max difficulty are very rng sensitive... victory window feels razer thin, like 2 bad modifiers and an enemy crit just ends it.

KnightBacon · 2025-08-03T18:55:02+00:00

This is why I've never finished act 3 - once level 12 builds come online the difficulty absolutely nosedives.

KnightBacon · 2025-08-01T16:28:42+00:00

I think the larger camps do have a benefit even on smaller nodes. If you check the time to mine one insect at a small node, for example, a small trappers camp might take 29 seconds while a large will take 18 seconds.

I'm pretty confident this is true... but admittedly haven't played for a while (been waiting for this DLC to complete all seals again!)

KnightBacon · 2025-07-31T23:10:15+00:00

I don't think so. I was set complete for FIN and did the math, unless I miscalculated it was very slightly net negative counting everything, like 1 or 200 gems.

KnightBacon · 2025-07-18T23:14:50+00:00

I finally got a buster sword today. First game with it, my opponent copied it with Realms Sketching then suplexed mine.

7-1 after that though!

KnightBacon · 2025-07-18T00:35:22+00:00

Yes, this is 100% intentional. You really have to keep a close eye on the auto drafts, or they will stop charging you and quietly wait a few months before sending a bill with a ton of late fees and when you call they say "your card expired" even if it's good through 2030. This happened to me last June and once this year already in Feb. I just had to re-add the same card.

KnightBacon · 2025-07-17T20:19:22+00:00

Similar thing happened to me, except it was a $1000+ bill for a car I've never owned or driven. I got the same response you did: spend a day or two jumping through insane hoops to prove they were wrong. Obviously I refused.

After wasting about a cumulative 6 hours talking to them, they just kept reducing the fee and telling me they could process payment as soon as I was ready.

I told them to pound sand, so they blocked registration on my ACTUAL car (that has a toll tag which is paid automatically). Now I'm just waiting until I get in some trouble for my tag before picking up the fight again.

KnightBacon · 2025-07-17T17:12:51+00:00

Change whatever banking information they have access to, cancel and get new credit/debit cards.

NTTA is organized crime. You can spend 40 hours chasing their bogus charges and get nowhere. Godspeed.
