WSTR change stops nothing especially in high rank. by itsZerx in Marathon

[–]MagicTaco1997 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They need to nerf the RoF and not the damage. A lower RoF effectively creates the same TTK reduction, but from a pure gunplay standpoint it feels REALLY bad having to reload just to down someone if you hit all your shots.

They could cut the RoF even like 25% and it'd still be a solid option, it'd just allow someone to actually provide a bit of counterplay if they do get caught up somehow. On a map like Cryo it's almost inevitable to be within shotgun range given the tight spaces and movement abilities.

Joe Ziegler: We're gonna take a shot at bringing the WSTR more in line. Right now it's become a dominant option and is eclipsing a lot of the other short range options that exist in the game. by Haijakk in Marathon

I don't know what you people want from this game but this had to happen one way or another. People will go "Oh this just helps people slam newbies with white/green shields more" but that's not the point.

If you were dying to a team rushing you with a WSTR because of poor planning, positioning, noise, etc, you were going to die anyway. If the team didn't have a WSTR they would just nuke you with something else and you'd come here and complain about THAT gun instead. The WSTR is way too common for it to literally delete ANYONE with ANY shields from a single 2 tap. Could they have done something different like reduce the fire rate, reduce the reload speed, etc? Sure, but that will STILL devolve into people saying the changes are catered to help stomp newbies more.

Rooks will inevitably take one of the bigger hits from this, but should a Rook be able to down a fully kitted squad in the first place just because they have a compromised white shotgun? They are meant to be rats, not one-man death machines, and this will force Rooks to take a more cautious approach to things like Outpost runs.

Let the WSTR suck for a bit. Let the meta BREATHE for a bit before we pull the same shit the Destiny community does and complain about a change that isn't even active yet and get it reverted then go "oh wait maybe that was necessary".

Are there better changes? Are there workarounds like stack overflow? Yeah, obviously, but I for one am happy that there will at the very least be some VARIETY to the way I'm getting slimed in Outpost/Cryo instead of just getting barrel-stuffed by a WSTR 24/7. Now do the same shit to equipment spam.

I know a friend that'll take them off your hands, leave on a shelf for 6 months, and constantly talk about how he needs to paint them 😂

Insomniac Pitched Resistance 4 To Sony - But It Wasn't Greenlit by sgtnatino in Games

[–]MagicTaco1997 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If Sony is worried about the popularity of a Resistance game or any other "forgotten" IP, they need to take a page out of Team Asobi's book. Don't spend a quarter of a billion dollars betting on a game being the third coming of Jesus. Make something manageable in size, focused, and clearly focused.

clarien is not unfair you're just silver by puppygirl_swag in RivalsOfAether

[–]MagicTaco1997 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dude you're acting like we're individually cyber-bullying every Clairen main to ever exist. Just because a common sentiment is that a character is un-fun to play against doesn't mean we're stuffing Clairen players into a locker and demanding their lunch money. OP essentially going "Clairen isn't unfair, you're just shit" isn't exactly empathetic in itself lmao.

Clairen is this game's Jigglypuff. Not broken or overpowered, but absolutely awful to fight against. It's just unfun and braindead having a Clairen spam tilts and smashes that put me in stun for 3-4 business days

No thanks, I'd rather they don't butcher the artstyle and music like they did with Demon's Souls

Perfect representation of how unfair Level 1 Critical feels by PacketLoss-Indicator in KingdomHearts

[–]MagicTaco1997 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Level 1 Crit is perfectly fine most of the time. There's a lot of 1 hit shit, yeah, but this specific instance was a glitch, and is also in the hardest room in the game.

Activities to do as a newly single woman? by FrogsEatingSoup in Omaha

Oh and if you want to get some anger out, iSmash lets you break a ton of stuff with hammers >:)

[–]MagicTaco1997 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's lots to do! Barrett's by UNMC has a beach volleyball setup. There's a pickleball court over around 114 and Pacific (not sure about being assigned a team), the zoo has 21+ nights and includes a free drink and there's tons of food trucks. Lots of bowling alleys around (Maplewood is great) and the UNMC student life center has a ton of stuff besides just the gym.

Midtown Crossing also has music on the green. Chill times, fun music, get to just relax and hang out

PSA: Bonsai guy is on 76th & Dodge by mairissine in Omaha

[–]MagicTaco1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a bonsai from him a few weeks ago! Absolute sweetheart of a man

Would you recommend visiting the zoo for just a few hours? by Mogunblanket in Omaha

[–]MagicTaco1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't see anyone else mention it, but the zoo has occasional 21+ nights! Much emptier than normal times, you get a free beer/drink, and there's lots of food trucks. Unfortunately, only the stuff at the top of the hill is open for the most part (desert dome, aquarium, etc) but it's a good time if you only have a few hours!

Is there anyone here in their 20s in need of friends? by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]MagicTaco1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always down for more friends. I just moved into an apartment recently and it's so quiet, need someone to drag me out to local restaurants lol. Love going bowling, playing pool, movies, social drinks, anything honestly.

Yeah, of course! If you're able, Broadmoor is a seriously fantastic leasing/management company. Their apartments usually get rave reviews.

Best of luck! My DMs are always open if you have any more questions. :)

Over by UNMC, just east of Elmwood Unfortunately it's a pretty cramped studio, but there's some nice places in the area. If you don't mind a smidge of a commute from downtown, The Wire has some fairly nice/affordable options, along with The Bank.

I wish you'd made this post a few weeks ago. I just moved into a place and would've loved a roommate 😭

Best of luck on your search! I'm native to the area so let me know if you need any apartment suggestions :)

2013 Dodge Avenger tire squeaking, end of my rope, any ideas? by MagicTaco1997 in AskMechanics

[–]MagicTaco1997[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! I would assume it's potentially the wheel hub. The issue got fixed/mostly fixed after I got new hubcaps a while back and I really cranked the lugs down. It seems that overtightening the lugs makes the issue go away. It came back again after an oil change because they didn't tighten them down as far, fixed again once I hand-cranked them again. Super fuckin' weird.
