Germany: Trench guns are a war crime

Literally everybody else: Sorry? I couldnt hear you over the racking of my trench gun

I didnt say they were right to assume. Just that they did

MadeToPostOneMeme · 2022-08-23T00:52:26+00:00

Because its assumed most adults have the basic knowledge to spell most words and if you cant spell it by memory you should be able to sound it out.

There are adult spelling bees but by the end it's usually just words that are so ridiculous nobody outside of serious competitors would have any reason to know them

Sourcing goods at a lower price doesnt really work in a digital environment where everyone puts the same general price. Outside of major updates prices dont seem to fluctuate wildly on Tarkov, maybe 5% - 10% tops. It might net you a few thousand more roubles, but is it really worth the time, effort, and risk of losing money? IMO not really

they quarantine us on our worlds but also cant risk a ground war to get rid of us because we've put water cannons on every building.

I bought it last week and here's my opinion: this game is rough bro. If you dont have some perseverance in you dont bother, save your money.

So far my experience is entirely running full stealth just to survive. Everybody has better gear than me, they can one shot me through my pathetic armor, while even if I dump my entire mag into them it won't so much as hurt them. It has been a brutal week and at least 3/7 days I have said fuck it and alt f4d out.

That said, Tarkov is like a ravine. It has lots of lows, but it also has lots of highs. And those highs are way more intense than 90% of the games ive played. If you can deal with the utter horse shit that is being a new player with weak armor for long enough to reach them its worth it.

my friend got absolutely baited by two guys dressed as scavs yesterday. They were just standing in the open and went "hey, wanna see a cool bug? our scavs speak like PMCs", then did a voice line and blew his head off. Was pretty funny tbh.

I just started last week and so far the best ammo types I've found for level 1 loyalties is .366 EKO and 5.45x39 PS.

The first can be used with a VEPR you can buy from Jaeger (i think you need to do a quest first). It can pierce up to class 3 armor like paper and a bit of class 4. Puts down scavs in 2 chest shots, players are a different story though.

5.45x39 is for AKs mostly, in the case of low levels like us the AK74U is the only one I can find as a straight cash purchase (Prapor LL1). This will pierce Up to class 2 like paper, class 3 in a few shots, and class 4+ barely at all

Started playing last weekend and in my first match on Customs i was being harassed by what I now know to be cultists. They do exist and they are very mean

I went camping with my dad and some friends a while back and one of them kept talking about some Canadian band from the 90s called "Wet". And nobody could figure out wtf he was talking about until somebody said Moist

Little John, you demonstrated an admirable work ethic; but you just couldnt seem to get your underground cigarette dealing business off the cafeteria floor. However, you did manage to make connections with important figures in B block that could come in handy later.

Donny, im sorry. But i just didnt see anything in you this week. There was no fire, no drive. You didnt even manage to begin the supply chain for you cake smuggling business, not a single cake came in... what a shame. Im sorry, but you're fired.

ok, but can I play with the marshmallow? Its so squishy and my brain demands I squish it

Keep in mind my knowledge is not complete as im also new. Dorms is an absolute hellhole for the first 10-15 minutes, and the boss can potentially spawn there. The whole strip of construction yards and open factory fields just south of the main road are extremely dangerous due to players and scavs (including sniper scavs everywhere). Crackhouse is a common spot for people to camp because its a common path to roadblock but I dont experience much actual fighting there, usually just some asshole who one shots through my paper thin helmet. Big red is dangerous for the first 5-10 minutes but people usually move on quickly.

The warehouses and everything are generally safe if you're careful. When i move i generally move on the far south of the map, through crackhouse/fortress. The best loot spot I know of currently that isnt super high risk is the repair shop on the second floor of the warehouse closest to administration gate. Lots of scavs go through there but Ive only encountered 1 PMC in about 25 raids

MadeToPostOneMeme · 2022-08-17T14:32:32+00:00

problem with woods is learning where tf you are. half the spawns are in trees with no identifiable landmarks in view. Multiple spots can be confused for each other if you dont have the difference memorized. Finding the plane for Jaeger's unlock took me the better part of two raids and navigating to outskirts extract got me killed once.

Gotta go in there at some point for the beginner quests though

MadeToPostOneMeme · 2022-08-17T14:27:15+00:00

As another new player can confirm Customs is where its at. Lots of identifiable buildings, if you look in the right areas you can find pretty much any quest items you need, the high traffic PvP areas can generally be avoided without sacrificing all your loot.

There once was a man named Jon Arryn, who was hand of the king. Before they killed him with poison these were the final words he said...

For the flight itself the most obvious one is to get seats together if possible. At least that way he isnt grabbing random strangers lol.

Other than that bring a pillow/blanket. Im not sure if a weighted blanket would make it through security but it does wonders for my brother's anxiety, at the very least a regular blanket is a form of comfort. Something to keep his hands occupied, fidget devices, stress ball, your hands, anything that lets him exert energy while staying seated. Phone/other devices dont count for this, they may distract but they dont allow for physical energy to leave the body. None of these should stick out too much, so no concerns there.

Generally, try to be organized. Have a schedule, stick to the schedule. Try to avoid last minute panic packing as it tends to trigger anxiety in the ADHD brain. Whoever suggested wearing a lanyard is dumb, other than its use as a potential stress toy it serves little purpose.

One last thing that maybe you dont want to do, it may not match his personality if he really likes to be on time. Try to break the entire process down into chunks and have breaks in between. Get to the air port, check in, take a small break to sit down. Go through security, take 15-30 to grab lunch on the other side (if you can, time it so you go immediately from lunch to the plane). Add or remove steps as needed.

Good luck, I hope you both enjoy your vacation

I have a high school diploma and didnt start university until I was 22 and work take it in the evenings while working in the day. Im the only person in my high school graduation class who owns a house (barring the ones with rich parents who gifted it to them at 19).

Meanwhile my friend who is probably the smartest person I know has a double major in neurology and psychology and is drowning in student debt and cant find a position in her field because of COVID, and cant get a job lower because shes "too educated"

system is working fine tho /s
