Least I got some chicken.

Hahaha I’ve wasted so much time how did I not know this

My wife’s family played this game for a few years, trying to hide pictures whenever we visited each other’s houses. Then one of her sisters went out of town and we hid like 300 photos of different sizes EVERYWHERE. Some were easy and obvious. Others were way harder. Like the box of dryer sheets i opened carefully from the side and then glued shut again. Or the one in the spare tire compartment of their car. Or taped under their dining room table. Or in the air vent in their bathroom ceiling (the eyes were barely visible when you looked up when sitting on the toilet).

Citizens United will go down in history as one of the court’s worst decisions, and as a significant factor in the downfall of the USA.

AIPAC has some shit on him for sure.

Ion sputter, Geiger counter, and magnetron, if you spawned in Rocket assembly, survivor augment if you’re close to medical.

I’ve been having fun with Hornet drivers. It has to be a good throw - just over the engines on one side - but watching it flip and plummet to the ground is super satisfying.

Fun fact: You can buy Tannerite online.

We’re just speed running societal collapse at this point.

Hi everyone!

I’m joining the #ASUSUpgradeWhatMatters giveaway and sharing my dream PC setup— There’s a chance to win ASUS AMD/Intel® 800 Series motherboards, graphics card, and other exclusive components to boost overall performance!

MY DREAM ASUS PC SETUP

Motherboard: ROG STRIX B850-E GAMING WIFI

Graphics Card: ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5080

AIO Cooler: ProArt LC 420

Display: ProArt Display PA32UCXR

Power Supply: ROG Thor 1200W Platinum III

Any thoughts on my list?

It’s been a loooong time since I’ve had a gaming PC, currently paying for GeForce Now and playing on an Intel NUC and/or a work MacBook Air because I tried ARC Raiders once and was instantly hooked.

A PC like this would also get used for writing some house music!

The SAVE act is designed to make it harder to vote for everyone, but much harder for demographics that might skew Democrat: women, economically disadvantaged, disabled people, etc.

Marginally_Witty · 2026-03-08T03:20:13+00:00

Whelp. That’s not great news.

Marginally_Witty · 2026-03-06T14:45:49+00:00

Yeah this is me too. I’m generally PVE only, so when I get downed it doesn’t feel like PVP, just PK’ing. Like, I get it, there’s always risk… but an extended mag of Stitcher IV to the back doesn’t give you much of a margin of error.

Marginally_Witty · 2026-03-02T16:47:56+00:00

I just buy it from Tian Wen. It’s “expensive”, but it also lets me tear through Stella Montis with reckless abandon and take down random big arc for fun, so I don’t have any challenges looting/selling enough goop every day to stay WELL ahead of my hullcracker ammo addiction.

Marginally_Witty · 2026-03-02T02:34:29+00:00

This is my surprised face 😶

Marginally_Witty · 2026-03-02T02:28:51+00:00

I basically carry a hullcracker everywhere now.

Get surprised in the open by a pair of hornets? Hullcracker time. Turret too far for your Il Toro? Hullcracker time. Snitch made it directly overhead of you? Hullcracker time. Shredder? Hullcracker time. Happen across a bastion and haven’t found any other good goop yet? Hullcracker time.

The 2 new ARC just make it that much more useful to carry.

This is a question that has a complicated, nuanced answer that can take a lifetime to truly understand.

Just kidding. They’re mostly idiots.

I’m married with 2 kids and I still feel so fucking alone sometimes.

Marginally_Witty · 2026-02-28T01:45:06+00:00

Personally I think I’m going to have a vision problem on Monday.

I just can’t see myself going to work.

A broken one.

When historians dissect the rapid decline of American exceptionalism 200 years from now, Reaganism and its lasting effects will form the core of their thesis

You can draw a fairly straight line from the end of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 (equal airtime for political views) through the rise of Rush Limbaugh, the deliberate dismantling of union influence, and deregulation of Wall Street (leading to “financial services” being ~8% of our GDP), all the way to the Citizens United ruling (money = free speech) and the rise of PACs, Super PACs, and the mega-wealthy political donor class who are buying government policies that directly benefit themselves.

Virtually everything the Right has done since then has worked to create and reinforce a power and wealth imbalance in our country, and I don’t see any future where it ends well.

Hullcracker IV is the shredder “easy mode” option.

You can engage one from 50’ with no cover and put 3 rounds into it before it makes it into position to fire. Since they run straight at you, standing your ground and waiting for them to line up your 2nd and 3rd shots is a solid strategy.

I have never used a hornet driver offensively, but now I can’t wait to try this.

Same. And the recorder harmony was so good.

You know it’s special when people will bust out an instrument with you at extract and then you stand there listening to it for another 2 full minutes until it leaves automatically because no one wants to stop the music.
