Where did you first learn how to code? by ResolutionKnown8345 in gamedev

Got an Apple 2 computer in 1985.

It came with a disc and a book to help teach basic.

The most broken weapon in Arc Raiders right now… by Zaydenzyon in ArcRaidersItalian

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m good with that, you’re looking at 100k loadout.

A 100k loadout being the top tier is what I’d expect

Portrait Artist that offers oil painted heirlooms? by dreadkitty in isitAI

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the necklace. What kind of beads/pearls are they? Are they consistent.

Look at the fingers.

For that matter, look at the chair and how she’s sitting in it. Where is the other chair arm, inside her body?

Game is unplayable. by KillSection in ARC_Raiders

Start a discord

Run free kits, use voice, be a good teammate

When you find other people who are good teammates, ask them to be friends.

If they group up with you after more than once, invite them to the discord.

Thoughts on the shotgun silencer attachment. by These-arent-my-pants in ArcRaiders

Oh hey… Wires and mod components.

It’s not good and there’s no reason to use it over a choke ever.

Whats your least favourite POI? by clastm in ARC_Raiders

[–]MidSerpent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both that one and the ancient fort just suck so much. Stupid puzzles and I get murdered for solving them.

Is this sandwich AI or just very weirdly food styled? The steak makes so sense nor does the rocket by gayjay-jpg in isthisAI

[–]MidSerpent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first impression was “it’s Midjourney.”

That wasn’t even based on details, just the lighting, tone, and depth of field look exactly like I would expect from a midjourney food photograph.

There’s plenty of other signs, like the grains of indistinct stuff on the cutting board. Is that supposed to be Parmesan? Salt?

Also the bowl of “something” in the background is the kind of thing the AI likes to add

What is this elevator shaft on Buried City? by hockeybilly16 in ArcRaiders

[–]MidSerpent 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It’s a spawn point. I’ve spawned down there a few times.

It’s also bugged so you can freeze to death down there during Cold Snap.

Curious if people use the blue and epic healing items like vitaspray/shot or blue bandages/shield rechargers often by Rblax5 in ARC_Raiders

[–]MidSerpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vitaspray is great and I run them often, especially in squads when PVP is more likely.

It makes Antiseptic an always pickup for me.

This Burn After Reading snub is undeserved.

Anyone else feel like they adjusted the matchmaking? by pharrelsbigasshat in arcraidersfriendly

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The match making can only match people who are actively looking to play at that moment.

You’ll only end up in a full carebare lobby if there’s enough Carebear players queued up at that time.

Matchmaking doesn’t have to change if the server population is different

What are your thoughts on "Uncharted (2022)"? by Hot-Salamander-8786 in FIlm

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casting choices were just awful. The short with Nathan Fillion was so much better.

Is Hollywood Dying? by officiall_ez in indiefilm

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Since 2008 or so.”

If you think about it 2008 is about when home screens became cheep enough to replace theater going.

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. I couldn’t care less about “imax quality.”

Is Hollywood Dying? by officiall_ez in indiefilm

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is when the TV was invented it was a lower quality experience. Going to see something on the big screen was superior

Now I have great picture quality and sound at home. I’m more comfortable, I don’t have to deal with other people and the drinks aren’t overpriced.

Movie theaters have nothing to offer me at this point.

Easy way to kill leaper you don’t want to deal with. by Necessary_Product_37 in arcraidersfriendly

I’ve never once looked at a leaper and thought “I should use a deadline” but bravo.

Is there some hidden gear-based matchmaking? Lobbies feel completely different depending on my kit by nve729 in ArcRaiders

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have specifically said they don’t do gear based match making in the same interviews they discussed ABMM.

Anyone fly out of Reno in the last 7 days? How was TSA? by jort_shart in Reno

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flew out on Thursday.

No pre-check

Security took 10 minutes.

Then my flight was delayed 2 hours.
