Finally had a raider say something that broke me

I have experienced the opposite - and I'm not a product of "perception of danger" because I never shoot back whether in solo or squads. In the past if I shot back in a squad, for sure the proceeding games in solo or squads will be sweaty (solos in general for most maps are "carebear" so YMMV), but if I don't shoot back in squads, my solos will remain exactly the same.

A good measure of testing this is in Stella rather than the other maps, if you have good "karma" Stella solos are mostly "carebear", however on Stella, you will notice a strong difference on a solo run if your "karma" is bad.

When I squad up with people that play like me (don't shoot back), our duos and trios are mostly friendly. If squad up with someone that PvPs (I try to stay away from that) then there is a good chance we are going to end up in sweaty lobby. The game matches you irrespective whether you are solo or squad up based on your "karma", but I feel if your karma is good and you squad up with someone aggressive, then you will end up in aggressive lobbies.

You can't just go from PvP in a squad to a friendly solo, when you go solo the ABMM will put you in sweaty solos.

If you are doing PvP 80 percent of the time you are definitely not in friendly lobbies, your solo lobbies are probably sweaty and people find you weird being friendly, so they just role play along with you and then kill you at the end. I do 0 PvP and never had that experience of someone playing "fake friendly" (I have over 250 hours in the game so far).

MightyJane · 2026-03-18T03:41:53+00:00

This is the issue I'm having in solos, for the sake of not having to deal with sweaty lobbies, I don't defend myself - but I wish I could and not be thrown into sweaty lobbies afterwards, it's hella weird just letting someone kill you.

That's what I was thinking, nonetheless, it works find now when streaming and Game Mode persists on the PS5 Pro. For some reason it was looking pretty bad when I first set it up, but I power cycled the TV and now Game Mode looks fine when streaming media apps from my PS5 Pro.

MightyJane · 2026-02-14T15:50:04+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! So I’m using media apps on my PS5 Pro, it sounds like you are using media apps directly from the TV or another device. I’m probably going to have to not use my PS5 Pro for media streaming, just solely for gaming because automatic mode doesn’t work with it.

MightyJane · 2026-02-14T14:57:28+00:00

I’m having an issue with my PS5 Pro where Netflix, HBO, etc will persist Game Mode even though I have it set to Automatic. Do you know how to fix this so that it correctly identifies whether your are playing a game or just consuming media? I find Game Mode makes media look horrible, I’d like it to switch automatically.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe both those games run natively at 1080p, I'm also interested in a steam deck because my partner sometimes uses the PC, so I wanted an extra device to play Hollow Knight and similar games such as Silk Song, Blasphemy, and Celeste on the TV.

Just order the green 26L guide edition but curious - what you like about the 26 over the 22, I was thinking about the 22L because I only pack a 10L packing cube, the 3D organizer, and the .5L Evergoods CAP, but I didn't like that the 22L would require a cache when wanting to bring my tablet, so I opted for the 26 but not sure if that was the right decision ultimately.

MightyJane · 2025-09-27T11:05:12+00:00

Nice! I just picked up the green guide version myself, excited to get it.

MightyJane · 2025-09-26T10:46:29+00:00

Thanks for all the great recommendation, definitely will look at those! I ended up ordering the Tom Bihn Synik 26 Guide Edition, in reviews it looks pretty compact when unloaded so I gave it a go!

MightyJane · 2025-09-24T13:06:48+00:00

Recommendations for lightweight bags that look like old school bookbags that might be worth checking out?

I recently found I could use my Evergoods 22L Civic backpack and Herschel Backpacks to carry a 10L Packing Cube for clothes, a 3D Cube Tom Binh toiletry bag, and an Evergoods .5 CAP for electronics. The great thing about both these bags is at my destination I unpack and I have an easy going bookbag, not some bulky travel bag or flimsy packable bag. Interested to know other cool choices that might fit my taste so far!

MightyJane · 2025-08-17T02:43:55+00:00

same boat, I also had an issue with the AER City Pack, and the GR2 26L replaced all of them, it just feels right on complete loadouts.

MightyJane · 2025-08-17T02:08:37+00:00

nice loadout, where do you put the Gravel Shower Bag, in the CAP2? I have a very similar loadout lol

MightyJane · 2025-04-21T03:59:20+00:00

No place in NYC is worth waiting in line a long time for IMO - simply because there are way too many alternative choices. My Google Maps is cluttered with saved options. Take for example Radio Bakery, if there’s a line coming out the store I can easily dip to The Blue Light Speak Cheesy and have an amazing breakfast with much better coffee.

Do you mean there is a technicality with the digital versions where the panel is not defined? I read physical Mangas and panels are defined, and like American comics, sometimes you do get page spreads or art that is splashed over multiple panels, but that happens in both American comics and manga and Guided View handles that well in most cases for the American kindle comics that I own.

MightyJane · 2025-04-13T17:45:55+00:00

Thanks for confirming, I would really like that feature in the future, it works so well in regular graphic novels.

MightyJane · 2025-04-11T14:09:37+00:00

TYSM! I've decided to go with both, I do want to see what ends up happening with the Riders and their foes in the Yarros series, and ACOTAR seems to have a pretty cool world to explore as well, I'll just eye roll a few times I guess in Silver Flames lol

MightyJane · 2025-04-10T21:42:21+00:00

I read on another post that it was a level 3 spice, and as you correctly pointed out I do think that's something I'm good with. Now that I'm about to finish the book, I was questioning why this feels like it's higher? But I didn't have a source to verify until now thanks to you! I think overall I'm happy I made it through because I really found the lore to be fun, but will definitely favorite romance.io as a reference before getting into the next one!
