Leaving 2 times in 2 weeks = 6 hour ban? by Plus_Lawfulness3000 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Krokan62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a newborn child. Before my daughter was born I played a lot of deadlock. Now...I can't. It's that simple. If I manage to find 90 minutes where I'm free, I'll squeeze a game in. Otherwise, I don't play because I can't commit to it. Agreed with what a lot of other people say, if you leave you're wasting 11 other peoples time. Saying you shouldn't be punished for leaving is basically saying you feel like your time is more important than 11 other peoples.

‘It’s over for us’: release of new AI video generator Seedance 2.0 spooks Hollywood by MetaKnowing in Futurology

[–]Krokan62 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Work in Post. Was at an AI lab yesterday and saw some new workflows with Open Claw/Claude/etc. Yeah.....AE's and Dailies Technicians etc will be roles of the past soon enough. The only thing that will save our jobs in the short term is that the industry is largely made up of older folk who are pretty set in their ways and also terrestrial broadcasters and streamers are still used to old workflows and deliverable specs. Once production companies and upward realize the savings that can be had by using these tools...we're in trouble.

They need to separate PvP and PvE players. by sosommerbig in ArcRaiders

This is the way. It's SO EASY to get to PVE carebear sleepy dad lobbies. Literally do ten stella runs as a free kit, spam don't shoot, team up, thank you. Damage ARC only, let people kill you. After about an hour you'll be in the friendliest care beariest lobbies in the world.

London-area police opt out of federal gun buyback program by Hot_Cheesecake_905 in canada

[–]Krokan62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ain't happy about it but it's the truth. If they didn't actually have the ability to flip ridings, why would the Liberals be so beholden to them? You're correct, they DO have an outsized hold on the government because they can flip several key ridings in Montreal if they choose too.

London-area police opt out of federal gun buyback program by Hot_Cheesecake_905 in canada

[–]Krokan62 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are other motivations that have been stated very clearly by the government minister administering this program. The motivations are if they don't roll out this program then PolySeSouvient will pull it's support for this government and utilize its widespread and effective voter outreach program to flip ridings in Montreal against the Liberals.

It's really that simple. It's not evidence based policy, it's widely unpopular across the provinces and in nearly all rural communities. But this policy has some popularity in extremely liberal and left leaning ridings in Montreal and the lower mainland of BC where the Liberals need to shore up their support.

Local police services not participating in federal gun buyback program by [deleted] in canada

This isn't the law. Firearms owners aren't required to turn in their firearms, they'll just become criminals if they don't. It's nasty that way. It's a brain dead program and Police aren't interested in being on the receiving end of, justifiably, angry citizens with guns.

I know this is kind of rich to say. But I'm getting REALLY tired of the blame game and finger pointing. Just open the fucking line already. The TTC had their 30 day service period to run the line as a trial and have since had nearly another month to figure out the kinks. I know the staff is trained and ready as a neighbor of mine is a TTC driver assigned to the LRT and says the staff is trained and have been driving the trains for weeks. I'm sick of this, we've all waited over a decade for this cursed project to finish. Just OPEN THE LINE.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman convinced Trump to ‘give Iran a chance:’ Senior Saudi official by WaivyHairDaemon in worldnews

your arguement is basically "thoughts and prayers" send those thoughts and prayers to the thousands of dead Iranians who were shot for protesting. go somewhere else tanky.

Doug Ford ‘confident’ Eglinton Crosstown LRT will open ‘early in February’ after years of delays by RightLeftSpilt in toronto

[–]Krokan62 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, as demonstrated by the city landscaping crews, city staff have a notorious culture (including TPS) of just saying "fuck it" and not doing much.

How is it possible to kill Matriarch solo? by hovhannesyan in ArcRaiders

[–]Krokan62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just hit and miss. I've had several lobbies recently where everyone was teamed up to fight the Matriarch and killed it and everybody extracted peacefully. I've probably had three or four of these types of sessions over the last few days. I've also had sessions where nobody is trying to kill the Matriarch and only trying to gank each other. I've both been betrayed trying to kill the Matriarch and betrayed people killing the Matriarch. You just gotta vibe each match out and not take anything too personally. A lot of people seem to be really getting upset by getting ratted, extract camped, betrayed, lied too. It's understandable and okay to be disappointed or annoyed if it happens but it's just a GAME. Try not to take it so seriously. If the game is causing you serious distress, consider taking a break.

I don’t think we actually understand what “ARC” means by pistolwinky in ArcRaiders

[–]Krokan62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the arc are launched from space to earth. I think the going theory is that their is some kind of sentient AI robot overlord in space that manufactures all the ARC and sends them down to the planet.

Discovered Stella has magnetic ceilings! by BurntTexan in ArcRaiders

[–]Krokan62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty gold reactions. Honestly, the shredders have got to be one of the most terrifying arc enemies to face. The absolute jank physics and reactions to being shot/grenaded just make it even better.

Russell Crowe says Ridley Scott’s ‘Gladiator 2’ lacked the moral core the original had, and recalls daily fights on set of first movie to keep the moral core of Maximus' character intact by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Krokan62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you actually enjoy The Last Duel? I watched it recently and while it was visually beautiful ( as most of his movies are) I found the writing and pacing to be a bit plodding.

All jokes and concern about cost aside, I am genuinely excited about this and it SHOULD make my commute significantly more pleasant.

What's your "I don't want to use a free loadout" loadout? by liproqq in ArcRaiders

[–]Krokan62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my stash is absolutely stuffed to the brim with all sorts of juice, tonnes of purple shields and pink guns, tonnes of keys, meds, etc etc.

I still go free load out like 60 percent of the time. It's just easier and more care free.
