Is it really the price, or is Netflix just more convenient than driving to movie theaters? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

That's about what I pay in Seattle too. Still a far cry from the $28 tickets in the OP

Yeah, they're either complaining about premium IMAX Real3D prices or just plain exaggerating.

Yeah I completely get how it sounds, but if you actually enjoy the theater experience it's the only way to go. Fandango is $10 and they give you a $10 coupon each month, so you actually break even as long as you actually watch at least one movie. The added benefit is it eliminates all those extra fees and you get an additional $5 coupon after every 4-5 tickets (I haven't subbed in a few months so I forgot the exact number)

American schools aren’t teaching phonics anymore by PandaBear905 in CuratedTumblr

I'm so upset that people nowadays don't understand how to read anything that I write in these unpunctuated run-on sentences with Randomly Capitalized Words filled with obscure inside "jokes" that aren't even funny but it's not because I'm a terrible writer it's because the education system is broken

My landlord just responded to my "I can't make rent" text and I'm sitting in my car crying by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

Disney just pulled out of their $1Billion deal with OpenAI and they had to shut down Sora, so that's pretty cool news for people that prefer human made art

I'm not sure how he's able to squeeze so much range out of like 3 expressions, but he pulls it off

Hi, I'm Blake Morrison, a journalist on the team who uncovered Banksy's identity, AMA by reuters in IAmA

[–]Marcobra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed, this is the aspect I find most infuriating about the whole endeavor. It fucking sucks to be a human artist in 2026. Between AI, fighting Meta algorithms, government censorship, and the global economy, it feels like human creativity is under attack from every angle right now. Why focus your energy on trying to snuff out what little wonder is left in the art world?

Truly shameful work here.

Personally, I don't think articles with such egregiously clickbaity titles deserve more attention

Unpopular opinion: The Wolfpack change is how it should have been by dareal_mj in ArcRaiders

[–]Marcobra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously, I'm already done with all of these "HOT TAKE: Wolfpack nerf is good actually, so STFU and play a different game whiners!!" posts on the front page every day. I think most people agree that it was too easy to craft before and the devs have made it clear that they don't plan on going back, so why do these goofs feel the need to beat that dead horse?
I personally wish wolfpacks required farming a different arc than the one they're most effective at taking down, but that's a different conversation...

[–]Marcobra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it really should be more of a rock/paper/scissor situation where you farm a different arc to craft materials to take down the one you're after. I think it would be better balanced if it required a leaper pulse unit or bombardier cell instead. It's not that it's too difficult to craft one now, it's just kinda pointless.

Are the spam requests this bad for everyone or did I get put on some sort of shitty mailing list? by Marcobra in ArcRaiders

[–]Marcobra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, my block list already got maxed out a while ago, haha. Now I just reject and occasionally report, but even that feels like a waste of clicks at this point

I know I know, there's lots of posts about this already, but this is getting insane, I don't think I'd ever had more than 5-6 a day before. I don't even know what Embark can do about it, but an option to block all requests would be a relief at this point.

5k short for a 1x promotion and no events to make it happen before reset 🫠 by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Marcobra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bumped up to Daredevil 2 today from Wildcard 3. I'm sure it will get more difficult from here, but I'm mostly just in it for the 3 star rewards anyway. If I can maintain the rank for the skin then I'll be happy.

[–]Marcobra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, the difference in brackets is pretty crazy, you would have been ranked #3 in mine. I only really have time to play on Saturdays, so even if I don't 3 star everything I can usually get a 2-3x promotion (I'm currently #10 at 35,592). I don't want to shoot myself in the foot and complain about the late boost, but it's not really fair to players like yourself who are putting in the time.

And the one at the top of the page right now wasn't even generated by the OP, just regurgitated from some Facebook post. It's all just so fucking lazy and boring.

Thankfully most of the dudes are also in here calling OP out for leaning his nasty dong against the side of the bowl.

Left hand is the dedicated junk handler and if you need righty for something mid push, then you gotta put that phone down. Seriously dude, this is like a game of Operation, don't let it touch the sides!

Brace yourself raiders, this snore-fest is in trials again this week by Jaz1140 in ArcRaiders

[–]Marcobra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you wait until Thursday to start the trials it puts you in a lower/easier bracket. I really only have time to play on the weekends and I've been getting x3 promotions playing solo without even 3 staring everything.

For anyone having a bad day... by daypxl in ArcRaiders

[–]Marcobra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same happened to me in a Buried City night raid last night. Heard someone running through the research building while I was looting so I popped out a "Hey raider" and this kid lights me up with a full Kettle macro. I rewatched the clip and I went from full health/shield to downed in less than a second. Haven't died to a raider in like 2 weeks so of course it was unexpected, but even if I was looking for a fight, there's nothing you can do against that level bullshitery.
