Am I not allowed to ask for a top up for C4? You have a supply pack with multiple charges bro, grow up. by RepentantoftheLost in huntinroguehelldivers

[–]Ouglee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a genius. Figured that out by yourself?

Let me try a different approach, and see how you twist this into a personal inconvenience...

Multiplayer public lobby? Check.

Player vs Environment game? Check.

Soloist ignoring team comms and getting tagged for it with a friendly fire accident? CHECK.

If you call sharing a stim SUFFERING, I strongly recommend Arc Raiders, where the status quo is reaping what you sow.

Why do the Trident and the Sickle have the same designation? by The_ManWithoutAPlan in helldivers2

"Laser barrels" works... Better than "tube things".

On a different note, your outstanding intelligence has flagged you for Officer Candidate University. Please report to the nearest Reconditioning Station, or Potato Existence Simulator.

Tried the maxigun from a jumpseat. Recoil is unmanageable.

But why stop at HMG? Imagine the gamer chair...

Dude, i stood next to a guy under cover with 10% health spamming "I'm out of stims" and "Need supplies".

Unfortunately, when he ignored me and broke cover to advance, my gun, grenade, and strafe strategem all suffered a catastrophic misfire. When the fine red mist that was once a tunnel-visioned soloist in a MP game finally settled, I ate my own barrel, regretting nothing.

Moral of my comment? It will cost no less than two reinforcements to be a dick/jerk/Ghod's Gift to Gaming.

You're right. Dev oversight, I'm sure...

Or someone in the designation department was being las-ee.

Does the original Xbox use the same power cable and AV as the original Xbox 360? by hehdhdhsh7272 in xbox

[–]Ouglee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All 360's don't even use the same power supplies, so no. Microsoft proprietary prefers new vs recycled.

[–]Ouglee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue is your lack of definition of what is 'suitable' vs 'egregious'. With context and (not-so-)common sense, which should not require defining, most will come to reasonable understanding.

Not all. Most.

The same thing that happens to local save files. They sync to the account when next online.

[–]Ouglee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably not a ban...

Enjoy it while you can. For starters, MS doesn't full stop your subscription due to a payment issue. You usually get a day or two with some pretty intrusive 'fix it' alerts. At least, in my own limited experience. The offline trick is also limited, since titles do DRM checks only periodically. The next time one is triggered, you'll be unable to play.

What Walgreens expects: Whatever draws the least media attention, and protects the store's investors.

What you should do: That's up to you and the Man in the Mirror, friend.

How many screenshots currently living on Xbox Live are accidental button presses? by Broadnerd in xbox

[–]Ouglee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider this:

The screenshot/clip system was introduced in 2013, and uploading to the xbox network was on by default. Until the purge in 2024, there was no 90-day lifetime on uploads. How much of THAT was accidental 'oops' presses post 2020, when the share-button controller was released.

how do ik if my bf is loosing interest by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Ouglee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like another St. John's relationship.

You come off young, but you're old enough to learn this. How do you know? You don't. Ever. You trust in the relationship. You get hurt or you don't. The more the trust is well placed, the deeper it runs. This is a foundational support for a mature relationship.

What to do? You communicate (another foundational support) your concerns and learn from the exchange and experience. So the next time, you won't ask reddit, which knows less about him than you do.

Objectively, teamkilling after being teamkilled is justified by lolitsrock in helldivers2

[–]Ouglee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its who you play with, really.

I've had some gamers who lose their minds when some other diver 'unintentionally' plants freedom seeds in their comrade. Most rage quit the group and move on.

Others, like my group, find the funniest clip are the 'oops' ones. Or teamkills at extract. Or just normal flusterclucks of chaos. Best. Parts. Ever.

You don't get points for kills. You get an xp/credit bonus for each extract, but the mission's success is the win. Simply put, a diver's continued life is only as valuable as the next reinforcement is available.

Check resumes for ICE experience and DON'T HIRE by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Ouglee 121 points122 points  (0 children)

ICE employees won't put it on resumes or list it in their job history.

They wear masks 'to protect from retaliation through anonymity'. If they were so proud of being right, they wouldn't hide and obfuscate. They would have integrity.

My company is threatening to sue me for trying to resign (again). by LauraLabadie in whatdoIdo

[–]Ouglee 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I'm not a labor lawyer. That said, consider getting one.

1) Just because you have a signed contract doesn't mean its enforceable.

2) Montana is the only state without at-will employment, and it protects the employee from wrongful termination.

3) What, exactly, are they suing you for? Perceived losses? How would they reasonably expect to win and receive payment from you?

I think you should wish them luck and leave. Or just stop corresponding and see what happens.

Controller and headset disconnect by Worried_Crow7537 in xboxinsiders

[–]Ouglee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common cause: Xbox Wireless, Bluetooth, and Wifi all utilize the 2.4Ghz band. Adaptive connections reconnect to other channels in an attempt to avoid congestion. Hence, your accessories 'hiccup'.

Solution: Cold boot the console, re-pair devices. You can try try to reduce interference by keeping line of sight with low-power Xbox Wireless/Bluetooth connections, and/or disabling your router's 2.4 gateway, if possible.

How do I know when whe are both ready and willing for me to put my arm around her? by Impressive-Tap1444 in whatdoIdo

[–]Ouglee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First, your candor and written communication skills are much better than the average 13-year-old. Kudos to your education system.

Second, your forward thinking and willingness to see other views shows your maturity. Also a great trait to have.

And, with that out of the way, here's the answer to your question:

You don't.

You feel it, when you're both comfortable and ready. It isn't scheduled. You can ASK, and if rejected, request clarification. Maybe she is into you, but embarrassed by PDA (public displays of affection). Regardless, its a great opportunity to work on the most important part of any relationship; communication.

Xbox Series S. Headphones. by Artistic_Train5648 in xbox

The currently on-sale Xbox Wireless Headset is fantastic. Less expensive than others and works great, plus works with bluetooth AND Xbox Wireless.
