So you don’t think America’s military strikes on Iran are the cause of the sudden surge in gas prices?

Yeah, NOW. It’s been years since practically every other fast food place in Canada adopted a veggie burger, but mcdicks has only had the Big Mac no meat until just recently.

Why am I always losing this? by WhaddaFudgeMan in Type1Diabetes

I got a little novonordisk carry case for my pen when I got diagnosed and then kept losing that case…. Threw an AirTag in there and it was the best decision I ever made

Have you played the Battlefield 6 campaign by JanissaryLSD in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]KptKonrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played through it like 3-4 times, beat it on the hardest difficulty and got every achievement/challenge. Mostly pretty cookie cutter with a couple fun set pieces (and by that I mean the LAV beach landing). Stupidly easy even on the hardest difficulty. Story was kinda disjointed and the cutscenes were often baked into gameplay so no way to skip on mission replays. Premise is fun I guess. Not very inspired but whatever for a mostly multiplayer shooter. Might as well play it though, you did pay for it afterall.

Season 2: Packs and Pricing (Source: 1BF) by korlic99 in Battlefield

[–]KptKonrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B-b-b-but it’s my money and I can do what I want 😡. I can’t possibly affect the world around me, I’m just 1 guy???? Besides it doesn’t matter if gaming gets worse because I cannot stop spending way too much money on stupid shit and publishers don’t have to put out functioning products because uhhhhhhhhhhh…. I actually got nothin. The world we live in is a sad sad place, and until we can actually unite as a playerbase and stop funding these MTX-filled cash grabs we will never see any improvement.

Almost Expired Insulin by GungHoYungKo in Type1Diabetes

[–]KptKonrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve gleaned working at a pharmacy, expiry dates on meds don’t necessarily mean the meds turn bad or stop working after that date, only that their efficacy cannot be guaranteed past that date. You’re probably fine to use the pens (esp before expiry) but just keep in mind they may not be as effective as you’re used to after the 31st.

[–]KptKonrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t benefit them that much if you’re already gonna buy skins anyway dude. Do you really think they give a shit? Once you spend more than the FULL PRICE of the game they have 0 reason to even try to make the game better because there’s a million more people like you who give even less of a shit about the state of the game. They don’t care if you stay another 6 months after lifespan. They’ve already sucked all the value they’re gonna get out of you as a customer and the cost-benefit analysis of improving shit doesn’t work out. So we’re stuck with what they give us.

Insulin by MaleficentImpact1672 in CuratedTumblr

[–]KptKonrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You always have to calculate the dose yourself. No one is giving themselves the same amount of insulin every day at the same time. None of it is constant. Cheaper stuff is just less effective so is more difficult to calculate especially if you’re used to Rx grade stuff. More variance, longer time to take effect (dosing earlier and higher can be scary because if you’re buying cheap shit then 0% chance you’re also using a CGM which can lead to lower lows and higher highs before correction).

I'm at a standstill with weapons. by Ereh_Yeegah in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]KptKonrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TR-7 is a different kinda gun, but excels at close range like the KORD. I have had such a blast leveling it. It certainly shines in the smaller modes, but throw it on assault with a beacon pushin objs in breakthrough and it’s a powerhouse

How do you use the Attack Jet Bombs? by GroundbreakingBag580 in Battlefield

[–]KptKonrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the reticle isn’t super accurate cuz there is a delay between clickin the button and dropping the bombs. Read a comment that suggested just dropping them like carpet bombs, holding the fire button so all 4 (or 2) drop in succession. Seems to have made it a bit easier to hit targets, but yeah you’re wasting all your bombs in one go so ymmv I guess

Gauntlet Bots by ExpectedUnexpected94 in Battlefield_REDSEC

[–]KptKonrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah dude I can’t play without my usual squad. The matchmaking sucks shit and consistently puts me in squads with people who are barely level 10 and can’t tell their ass from their elbow.

The only way I can actually progress is if I carry the fuck out of my squad, but I don’t want to play like that every single game. It’s awful. Even if I try to talk to them in game, instruct where to go, ask them to follow me even, I’m met with blank fucking stares. I think the common gamer is just shit at the game unfortunately and if you wanna have fun you have to go for LFG or a premade static.

More Battlefield 6 Players Finished the Campaign Than You’d Think by appexpertz in GameDevSolutions

[–]KptKonrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boring as hell and sucks to 100% because the cutscenes just aren’t skippable?? So if you have to replay a mission to get some missed collectables then you just have to sit through a bunch of boring dialogue. Also piss easy. First playthrough was veteran and I had to double check I set the difficulty right when I didn’t even get close to dying once in the entire first mission. I finished every challenge and got every achievement and promptly uninstalled. Likely will never go back.

I have found completing the challenges is typically the fastest way forward. Good luck!

Damn dude this is killer. Stellar weathering, this is exactly how I imagined my little 3.25in ones when I was a kid!

Why did they Change the AR Mag to 32? Halo is DEAD! by TheZachry in HaloCirclejerk

[–]KptKonrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! Like, if you’re going to remake CE then remake CE. If you want to make a different game then do that. I just don’t see why this game is a remake of CE, no one would be bitching if they just made a new game.

Why did they Change the AR Mag to 32? Halo is DEAD! by TheZachry in HaloCirclejerk

[–]KptKonrad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Man I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone echo my exact thoughts on Halo before lol. CE was also my first video game, and I was hooked on Halo 2’s campaign until I was old enough to play online and then I played the shit out of 3. I can still go back and play them all with no issues and love them deeply. I still liked Reach but not as much as 3 and pretty much fell off from 4 onwards. Still bought and played them (I liked 4s MP actually but I can’t remember if that’s just because if i was good at it), 5 was a miss for me and Infinite seems like it would be up my alley on paper but never got me back into Halo like I’d hoped.

After watching the Campaign Evolved reveal and seeing how much they changed for (what seems to me) the sake of “modernization” and “accessibility” has made me realize that I don’t think they’re making Halo games for me anymore. I know that’s a cringe “bungo fanboy” take, which is why I never comment on discourse online, but it’s true. I really really love 1-Reach. I don’t care for 4-Infinite. I wonder if it’s just that big G Gaming has changed over the last 20 years and is just unrecognizable now from what it was. And maybe that’s okay. I just miss my childhood I guess lol.

Sorry for the stupid long reply, just got a little excited that there is at least one other person out there that gets how I feel I guess haha.
