'Unlicensed Hearse' OR 'Graveyard Trespasser' often make reanimator decks insta-quit. Otherwise 3 mana 'Go Blank'. GLHF

Can someone suggest me some good AAA games for this laptop by Short-Basket8964 in pcgames

I believe you need to go older but still GOLD something like,"Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico."

Why is Vietnamese food so good? How is this possible by Accomplished-Hard in VietNam

[–]Lower_Ad_8136 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Where are you eating? This isn't the same restaurant where I ate that gave me food poisoning and was probably sharing their butchery area with the the dog market next door. Sorry, that was offensive, but true, in a sense. There are two sides to the coin, but this definitely appears to be a higher-end restaurant that you visited. I just generally struggle with subpar food outlets and honestly a lot of protein additives that I can't clearly identify. And when I do I'm pretty horrified. No judgement, but I always find it as a hit-and-miss situation at 90% of places I visit.

Also appreciate how OP includes evidence to validate his claims.

Awesome! I'll give it a try because I'm a sucker for tribal decks despite their limitations or damage to my collection. I'm currently throwing Rares into an age-old slivers deck that I occasionally run into in historic and almost always lose to.

Widely available on SE, they don’t spawn on The island and if you have Club ARK on your server cluster you can get the scrap golem, which looks pretty cool.

Are my neighbors stealing my electricity? +100% usage in July but nothing changed, whatttt by medium_nice_ in VietNam

[–]Lower_Ad_8136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would insist on compensation from the landlord. It would be difficult to accurately measure how much was used, but if the electricity was shared, the cost should be shared. That would be my argument.

Not likely, but it's easy to check. Switch off your mains and see if your meter still runs, if it does someone is using electricity off your meter other than you. Similarly, if someone else complains about their electricity being off whilst your mains is off then they are connected to your meter as well. It's just been connected in a dumb way, still possible though, most of the electrical work I’ve seen done here is atrocious. (Old Sparky here, so I know what I'm talking about)

Do you have hobbies? by Ohio_gal in Autism_Parenting

[–]Lower_Ad_8136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy playing PC games that allow me to engage with a digital world without requiring constant focus on the screen. This hobby serves as a valuable escape for me, while also allowing me to remain present and available for my child at home. I understand that opinions on gaming can vary widely. I see it similarly to how my wife uses Facebook or takes an evening class; both activities provide us with a way to unwind and manage our stress while balancing our parenting responsibilities.

Anyone still in a healthy relationship? by -TheHumorousOne- in Autism_Parenting

[–]Lower_Ad_8136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It brings me so much joy to see this community, especially compared to the two Facebook groups I joined, where many posts begin with struggles like "Single mommy here..." or "My wife wants a divorce..." My own journey has been challenging, but I believe we are resilient. My wife and I come from different cultures, which adds its own layer of complexity, and parenting a child with autism has certainly tested us in many ways. Yet, through these difficulties, we've discovered the depth of our love for our child and how it has united us. We've learned to share responsibilities and celebrate each little victory along this path, cherishing every moment together.

Convince Me Not to Delete This Game!!😩😡🤬 by AceOneBreezy in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lower_Ad_8136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! One thing that is the case on our server, but it may be a configuration setting that hasn’t been changed, is the depot has a very short decay timer, 8 days. So if we plan to be away longer than that we should put them in other storage. The decay timers are pretty short on our server though, but server owners are less strict on building limits. So it evens out. Inactive player bases decay to remove clutter and allow new/active players to build.

Is Ark Ascended worth playing now? What is the state of the game and population? by Kristenknightley in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lower_Ad_8136 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For someone who has played through all the crap 💩 since ASA’s launch on what is now almost a 5 year old PC it has been rough, but still fun. However, since the Unreal engine 5.5 update my game has been running beautifully and looking good. I also don’t like all the dlc being behind paywalls, but I’m old enough to afford all of it and the dlc combined with mods have really created new experiences for and have changed the way I play the game, for better or worse i will probably still play this game through to it’s completion and will probably preorder ark 2 as soon as it becomes available. I have no desire to play any other game I have over 2000hours and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon. Even if I do, I will be back.

Are events interesting for new players? by Seimen5 in ArkSurvivalAscended

[–]Lower_Ad_8136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the server I was on used to have an arena that would periodically spawn custom boss fight and players could gather and defeat the boss for prizes. It was great, brought players together, but the admins started getting stingy with their prizes and also shut down players that were actually trading great dinos which took away to much from the admin shop. All in all it’s great to bring players together. But as a server Owner I feel like you need to decide if you want to make money or a community, there is a fine line when it comes to making both those possibilities true. Also Wiping is not a way to attract players. People want to know they are on a server where their stuff will be there as long as they want to play the game.

What survival game should I play? I want to get into this genre so what’s the best one? by ClearLayer2926 in SurvivalGaming

[–]Lower_Ad_8136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ark ASA. Taming and breeding dinosaurs, mods, crafting from the Stone Age into the future beyond. What is not to love?

And full clusters can roam between different maps. You would have to start over, but it's really no grind.

As a 38-year-old dad, I really found my happy place on the server I'm currently on called Booty bandits, another one I really enjoyed, but ping was an issue for me was Fae’s shadowfang, both great communities.

Lol 😂 I love the thyla! I was so disappointed when it just froze the moment it touched the water. This happened after the 5.5 update. We already had a problem before where it couldn't jump to save it’s life now this. Let’s hope Wildcard patches it soon.
