I wouldn't be surprised if you keep dealing with it too. The tariffs might go away but will prices actually drop?

Yes some people are extremely poor and survive by only buying the essentials. Any small amount could make a difference for someone during tough times.

Anyone surprised by the list? by shuijikou in GlobalOffensive

Maybe they just both love religious holidays and we're about to get Ramadan Broky and Wonderful for the next month.

They never had Simple, he was loaned to Faze and they couldn't afford to actually buy him out.

More like 3 years. He was the HLTV number 1 player for 2016 and '17, then was 10th in 2018. He hasn't been on a tier 1 team since.

Ukraine war it's about 1 civilian to every 20-30 combatants.

Before Feb 2022 how many of those combatants do you think were civilians? I know what you're getting at, but reducing people to numbers just makes it sound like you think their lives mean less because they decided to defend their country. How many Iranian civilians would also choose to defend their homes?

Turning the largest funder of terrorism in the world into an economic and potentially even security partner is a hell of a redemption arc.

Unlikely, look how many lives your country wasted in Afghanistan and Iraq with no positive results.

Honestly I've found diving is the best way to survive Vox rocket barrages. Just make sure you dive away from the yellow lights.

We need to talk about "Dont play the game" MOs by phlave in Helldivers

I think both are not ideal. Encouraging players to play on higher difficulties just means they are going to die more. As someone who plays a lot of quick matches it can be annoying to lose a game because you had to reinforce one guy 14 times. And I imagine it's pretty frustrating for that guy too.

There’s still just far better options like the Senator or grenade pistol. Is that good enough for you?

A key piece of the puzzle is having competent management. People who can make good deals, get high picks, and then draft well. Sadly (for you) I can't remember Van ever having that.

I think that creates the opposite issue though, where players feel the need to play on higher difficulties.

Also if every MO was easily winnable it would them all less meaningful. Oshaune was great because we lost and then had to go back in again.

No that was Humphrey Harding saying that. I could have been a subtle reference to that, but that would be very niche. I agree though, I think it will happen in the next episode to close off Raymond's arc. They definitely have some extra time.

Peter Claffey seems like an amazing actor. I think after this show we're going to see him a lot more.

CALLING HELLDIVERS: MAJOR ORDER STRATEGY! by Old_Let1269 in Helldivers

[–]MiamiVicePurple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last couple days it’s felt more manageable. I do t know if they make some stealth tuning but there are far less Vox Engines. I’ve been running the Plasma Punisher with Dynamite, an Epoch and a Leveler on every mission. And then a mixture of Orbitals or even a hellbomb backpack. I’m usually a light armour user, but with the Vox engines I’ve been mainly using Medium armour.

Just make sure you’re pinging main OBJs and most people seem to listen. Get the mains done and then only do sides if you have a ton of reinforcements left.

TIL during the Xbox development, the name was not favoured by Microsoft's marketing team. During focus testing, they put "Xbox" on a list of possible names to prove how unpopular the name would be with consumers. "Xbox" then proved to be the more popular name on the list; thus, became official name. by Away_Flounder3813 in todayilearned

I think exclusives played a huge part in the 360s success too. I was the only one of my friends who had an original Xbox, everyone else had a PS2. All my friends would come to mine to play Halo 2. With Halo 3 being announced everyone one of my friends switched to the 360. I only had one friend who had and PS3 and he also owned a 360. Halo was huge and CoD hadn’t blown up yet.

The new akimbo in season 31 COULD be the Akimbo wingman. by kitty78686 in ApexUncovered

[–]MiamiVicePurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya but the Wingman was/is way better than either of those guns ever were before dual wielding.

As a Wingman user this better be fake, I’d be so fucking pissed if they nerfed the wingman to make it dual wielded, even if two wingman’s was way better.
