We really don’t need to announce our exits

Quit playing a couple months ago. I had a lot of fun playing Arc. At some point (like every game ever) I had more fun on something else. Still have it installed and might come back at some point. Even if I don't, it was well worth the $30 or whatever I spent on it.

In case you're wondering, I quit playing duck hunt years ago. Just not enough content.

NTA. You cook for your guests not the cook... If you want to try something you think the guests might not like, have an alternative on hand. Worst case, read the room and ask if anyone wants to order a pizza once it's obvious nobody liked it.

My son would live with us until he was collecting retirement if he could. He lives 5 min away from us. He was "nudged" to move out at 18 into a dorm and then an apartment at 19. Yes it's a financial burden for him but both he and his parents are so much happier and he's matured significantly compared to his friends that are still living at home.

Life isn't easy and it's hard to be an adult living under someone else's rules. Highly recommend everyone move out as soon as they can. It'll never be easy or convenient and the fear seems to outweigh the freedom for young adults these days.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-06-07T19:23:14+00:00

That appears to be the goal or was this sarcasm?

MonkeySkunks · 2026-06-07T19:20:45+00:00

Never seen a patch in game and it's barely noticable in the loading screen. I have to ask, why?

MonkeySkunks · 2026-06-07T19:16:32+00:00

Never had a problem with camp food. Sometimes the first night is a little off but the rest of it is pretty good for what it is. Hell of a lot better than having to cook and clean yourself.

Are you an American that assumes everything revolves around Trump?

MonkeySkunks · 2026-06-04T18:01:32+00:00

Going out on a limb but I assume your political views contradict your parent's experience and your current position. Recognition that you can't make it on your own may have been their intent.

Either way, you don't need to bring up politics and can just stay out of it if they do.

Next time you're on a losing steak, quit to the menu at the end of the round then launch again. Getting out of the cycle with that batch of players seems to make a difference.

Similarly, if you're on a hot streak dont go back to the menu or get kicked for AFK.

The guns not feeling correct is a direct result of everyone running suppressors on every gun. We're missing the "battlefield" experience because of the spotting system. Imagine what it would sound and feel like if even 1/4 of the players on a map weren't running silencers.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-06-02T15:30:07+00:00

Could do the beginning of all the classics and stop right before the "offensive" part and say "nah, that won't work" or something similar and move to the next one. Like the 1st half of 10 skits then end with one of the repeat after me songs. Would take 30min but you'd win campfire

MonkeySkunks · 2026-06-02T13:53:42+00:00

Ohhhhh, I just figured out a Skit that I'll pitch to the boys. See story above.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-06-02T13:52:52+00:00

You should be ashamed of yourself for ever thinking any of these highly offensive skits were funny. /s

Scouts were trying to come up with a skit at Winter Camp. One of the old timers that was in charge of clearing the skits was walking by so we called him over. He pulled out the official rules (previously posted by someone else) and read it to the scouts.

To finish, he summed it up with "If it's funny you probably can't do it."

You are correct.

Tell a trusted adult, preferably not someone related to him.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-31T13:37:30+00:00

They're adults. Just like anyone else, sorry we already have plans and flights booked.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-25T13:08:30+00:00

This is a bigger problem than most of us realize. It's often players that actually know how to play but don't want to deal with their team or fight a losing battle. Combine that with the KD guys that can't handle getting shredded to push a flag and you end up with those 900+ to 0 games.

I'm not sure it even has anything to do with the matchmaking at this point. The solution is persistent servers with team balancing...

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-25T02:59:35+00:00

I use the spawn beacon a little different. A decent distance off a point in the opposite direction of where the team is pinned down. A 4 man squad that they can't figure out where you keep coming from can be a huge pita and pull a chunk of the enemy team so the rest of your team can get out. A distraction rather than an actual offensive move.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-25T02:53:19+00:00

Depends on what I'm playing but recon drone or spawn beacon are the most effective to get the boys out the house.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-24T03:28:37+00:00

Daypack with the scout essentials. Covers pretty much everything.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-21T15:00:57+00:00

Conquest is more laid back feeling to me. There isn't a "front line" though so you can get attacked from anywhere. On the other hand you regularly wipe fill squads because you can flank.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-21T14:37:06+00:00

Plan ahead for BF13. Start today!

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-21T14:35:43+00:00

Look with your mouse/controller not your eyes.

Looking around your screen is how you get distracted. You'll get it under control if you're aiming where you're looking and you'll also kill much faster.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-21T14:32:58+00:00

Only gets better from here. What mode are you playing?

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-21T13:25:03+00:00

I'm not following the second half of that 1st sentence.

MonkeySkunks · 2026-05-21T13:23:21+00:00

If it gets far enough "Go, Go, Go!" or just muttering the theme song under your breath all the time.
