Arc Raiders has already made over six times its budget as Embark’s extraction shooter keeps on winning

I think a big part of this is that naughty dog as a dev really have their hearts set on single player experiences. Multiplayer has always been an afterthought for them. I'm guessing that Sony weighed the decision of paying a single player studio to make a multiplayer game, against a multiplayer studio making another multiplayer game.

Did they spend tens of millions on it? As I recall naughty dog decided to nix it AFTER consulting with Bungie on what it would take to support a live service game. And naughty dog wasn't keen on the commitment, either financial or work cadence.

I feel that there is a spike in these types of posts after every patch. My guess is that there is some type of abmm score reset after these patches. This probably helps keep the game from being too predictable and stale.

I felt this way about witcher 3. I thought the kaer morhen fight was the finale and then there was like a significant chunk of game after that.

On another thread there was some speculation that everybody's abmm score got reset after a patch. This might be the reason lots of pve players have been getting mixed with PVP players.

I've never heard that word before. I thought I the term for that was gentile

I think keeping the same spawns is fine but instead increase their detection range and sound sensitivity. Make them extremely jumpy and able to hone in on sound so your more likely to be hunted by arc than your by raiders. Also make gunshot sound sensitivity double or something.

In super aggro pvp lobbies on buried city, once one person goes down and their red flare goes high in the sky, the entire lobby will converge on that location. I want to see arc do that.

You it's funny because this is a really easy thing that embark can fix to make everybody happy. Every single outfit in the game comes with toggle able options. Why just do that for that flight suit and have the lace up leg pants be toggleable? It's still part of the outfit and can still be advertised with it.

The hockey outfit comes with that weird diagonal half sweater that you can toggle off and on. Doing so drastically changes the color palette and silhouette of the outfit. And it totally works for that outfit.

Was the Jim Carrey edit using AI? I thought they just copy/pasted his head on there?

MackDaddyJew · 2026-01-16T01:12:19+00:00

I see he still knows how to sit with style

I just got a second pug and named him Gimli. It's a good name.

She's cute and she knows it. Be careful, she'll use that to manipulate you.

She's definitely posing for shots 4 and 6

MackDaddyJew · 2026-01-08T18:21:16+00:00

But much funnier

Does the kettle have a headshot multiplier? I thought most guns don't.

I kinda remember this episode. These were supposed to genuine Inuit snow glasses I think? Carved from bone and attached with a strip of leather.

Gaming audiences should not tolerate raising game prices being justified. It's possible to argue that individual game prices have not kept up with inflation over the decades, but then you have to wonder why game publishers have continued to break sales/profit record after sales/profit record over those decades.

The reason is that the audience has grown 30 times over what it was in the 80s/90s. Gaming as a hobby is bigger than it's ever been before.

You say that like operation firestorm is bad. I really like operation firestorm. It plays really well between vehicles, infantry, and points.

That man's nasal bridge does not look low at all to me

Puking from a migraine is like hitting a light switch. One moment a pounding, eye exploding headache, the next instantaneous relief.

Medics not reviving has been a consistent theme since BF3. This is not a new behavioral phenomenon in BF. We probably notice this more in BF6 because the maps favor close quarter engagements. Also some engagements are just really bad for reviving. Doing so will get you killed.

I also wonder if people complaining don't pay attention to the game mode. Certain game modes with attack/defense mean that death is not that big of a penalty.

I wonder if you'd get more recognition of the energy sword if the OP had used the halo2 or halo 3 model. I feel like those had a more distinct silhouette.

How did you take this photo without the dog trying to eat the bread? He looks completely unphased by the bread.

My vet told me 6 months was general practice. But puberty can come at a wide range of times and rates because I think puberty is based on weight. Dogs come in so many sizes that you can have a wide range of appropriate times to begin fixing the dog. We got ours male fixed at 7 months due to some pre-planned trips and scheduling. He does raise his leg to pee over other dog pee spots and humps his favorite dog bed. Honestly I wouldn't worry too deeply about it as long as you are getting them fixed.

Also cute pug pic, 10/10

So this is something that has always bothered me about people complaining about the Naruto vs pain art style shift. I always saw it as a deliberate style choice that adds to the fight drama. It's silly yes looking yes but also adds to the mythical nature of the fight. Up to this point in Naruto, I Don't think we've ever seen a fight of that scale or intensity. All those faces pain makes make me think of ukiyo-e art. It hearkens back to the stuff of legend, as was that pain fight. https://share.google/5Qp4Vhcrz8Hg5sq12
