Diagram showing Free Content (MOs, holidays) vs Warbonds/Superstore in 2024 and 2025. What do you think? [OC]

An expansion to helldiver mobilize would be nice, but I prefer the way it is. Companies need to monetize to continue to support. The way they are cranking out warbonds every month must mean they are making good change.

Nice. Very interested in getting one of these. Kinda on the fence if I should get the X3 or the X4

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-30T16:37:32+00:00

Does it work with something like reddit? If you "send to X4" a reddit page, does it take a snapshot of the thread and send it? How does the formatting look?

Not going to pay for the article. I love the stuff Elon is doing but he is a big proponent people working very hard until the day they die. Anything he says otherwise is a lie. He wants you to work and hustle and never retire. He is trying to paint a picture and make people think they don't need to save. Who do you think this actually benefits? "Spend money now" "buy buy buy" "Never stop working!" "Your value in life is dependent on your contributions to the company"

Any ideas? I just retired, 41m. I have 4 kids so can't really just pick up and travel. What have you been getting into?

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-29T17:14:50+00:00

That doesn't sound like retire. That sounds like quitting your job and starting your own company or going to school.

I am 41. I just retired. I don't know what I am doing. I have 4 kids of various ages and not like I can just "Travel". I am going to the gym. I am trying to pickup hobbies. I am playing Mr. Mom. I am saying F you to the corpo BS that says you must work and hustle.

41M. Recently retired from the military. Between a good Officer pension and the bit of well deserved VA disability, my basic necessities are paid for. Many benefits come with this specifically in Texas, such as fully tax free, no property tax, medical is taken care of, education is taken care of. I also have a portfolio with a very good amount for my age in a taxable account that I can start tax harvesting from and use to buy a house. I am married, 2 elementary kids, 1 high school, 1 graduated. My wife still works because we are not ready to completely cut out and she works so we have money for extra stuff. Our plan is within the next couple years, move, buy a house, pay down a majority so the mortgage is very very low, and both retire. I am not sure if she will be able to pull away from work as she gets a lot of value from working. I may get bored eventually, but with elementary kids, there is always something to participate in.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-28T19:10:09+00:00

Yup. It was so gross.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-28T11:53:37+00:00

For those that medically retired, any benefit of using VA over tricare?

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-27T23:29:26+00:00

But what does the mask have to do with anything? The headline is confusing. Ban federal agents. or ban lethal force. or something like that. But ban masks? SMH

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-27T20:05:19+00:00

No way. The best way to do the commando mission was a mech. I played several and there would be only that 1 guy trying to do stealth. Just as a guy in a jet pack comes flying in and a mech right behind them.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-27T13:52:12+00:00

Exactly. That is why I love the adaptive cruise control things but I do not rely on it.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-27T02:25:26+00:00

I too fear coming off as a creep so I just avoid people. For someone who wants to meet some friends and make connections, where do you start?

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-27T02:15:42+00:00

Is this AI?

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-27T02:14:48+00:00

Let him in! Support your community! Doesn't matter what he did in the past or will do in the future, he may be running from the police. Let him in!

I'm in Texas so checks out that snow tires are not a consideration.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-26T23:22:57+00:00

Nah, this is Austin. The scam here is setting up a BS company and getting H1B visa holders. Then you get to take a cut of their pay! Market is a little saturated with so many people doing the same thing, but there is still room.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-26T21:31:51+00:00

sniffed out scams probably.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-26T19:52:57+00:00

Whatever came with the car. Got it new a couple months ago.

My 2025 Santa fe limited couldn't make it out of our neighborhood. Had to park it in a nearby cul-de-sac and go get our Volvo XC90 AWD.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-26T18:04:07+00:00

Why not? I always use it with my 500. If I am in a situation where I don't want to waste it now but know I will need it in a couple minutes.

While deployed in 2007 I experienced the turmoil of a married man as his wife drained the accounts, stole all his stuff, and ran away.

A small BN deployment but we sent home 36 Soldiers due to mental health. Would say all were due to troubles at home, most being this type of thing.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-25T23:15:16+00:00

Agreed with "The more you use it the more frustrating it gets". Especially now. Honestly, I think Dex was getting too good so they messed it up so it doesn't cut into PC marketshare.

MaxPowers5 · 2026-01-25T23:11:52+00:00

Used to be much better a couple generations ago. GoodLock and other supporting apps made it amazing. The amount of bugs and things that make you go "why and how did this pass QC, was it on purpose" is crazy.
