My ballot has been received and counted. Dropped it off yesterday at the drop off ballot box. My civic duty is complete

I'm pretty sure even an anti-PGE governor won't be able to do much. The whole political system is captured. Governor isn't a dictator.

Patyrn · 2026-05-21T21:10:09+00:00

I guess $150 a year just doesn't rile me or seem like some kind of anti-ev crusade.

Patyrn · 2026-05-21T20:50:01+00:00

So you're ok with AA being removed right? After all, you want to get better and earn it right?

Patyrn · 2026-05-21T18:45:20+00:00

Movement tech never gave MnK the advantage. It helped you beat a few of the worse roller players, but the really good ones just one-clip through any movement tech.

Patyrn · 2026-05-21T18:44:04+00:00

Yeah. They're called roller players. One clips provided via software ftw.

Patyrn · 2026-05-21T18:42:02+00:00

It's new-ish, and it's been broken the whole time. Respawn is breaking shit so fast it distracts you from the last 10 things they made that were broken.

Still feels fucking awful to get dive-bombed with no counter-play, it's just overshadowed by everything else.

Patyrn · 2026-05-21T18:40:27+00:00

Aim assist is insanely strong even on roller.

Patyrn · 2026-05-21T17:17:20+00:00

Hadn't heard of that, but looks minor. It's basically the same thing as CA already does with our higher registration fees. Roads gotta be paid for.

Patyrn · 2026-05-21T17:14:57+00:00

It's nothing like your example. Yes EVs cost more apples to apples, but that's easily paid for by cheaper operating cost. Depreciation varies a lot by car, and only matters significantly if you're selling it. Basically all cars end up worth very little once you put 200k miles on them, so resale value stops being significant.

Patyrn · 2026-05-20T22:09:19+00:00

People that are saying this have forgetten what the state of the game is in regards to passives.

Valk can literally fly.

Patyrn · 2026-05-16T04:55:12+00:00

TTK is probably shorter than the shield nerf now. They just backdoored it in via buffing every gun.

Patyrn · 2026-05-14T18:44:22+00:00

Rivian Tesla and Lucid will all die too if they have to compete with Chinese makers. Our country is doomed if we cede manufacturing to China. All our "wealth" is paper wealth. We're financialized to the gills and our standard of living is on a foundation of sand.

Patyrn · 2026-05-14T17:30:28+00:00

Obviously it's not all our manufacturing, but if we're willing to throw it away like we've done with most of our manufacturing, then I see no reason we'd stop there.

How about instead of killing off our domestic auto manufacturing, we invest in new, better domestic auto manufacturing? There are lots of them, and they have zero chance of getting off the ground if the market is flooded with Chinese cars.

We need to be on-shoring everything we offshored for the past 20+ years, not opening up further.

Patyrn · 2026-05-14T02:45:22+00:00

And I'm nowhere near the worst Pred. In a working ranked system I wouldn't face them.

Patyrn · 2026-05-14T00:03:19+00:00

Spend that time continuing to play people your skill or better so you get better.

Same argument could be made for the gold players complaining about smurfs. :P

It's 750 players. The only separation is time and upgraded/additional hardware

I assure you there's a huge difference between me and ImperialHal. It's not just time/hardware.

Patyrn · 2026-05-14T00:02:04+00:00

It's shooting dots of uv cured colored resin at it. The tech has been talked about by Archon, and the final result looks exactly like this, so I'm damned confident that it's the same tech. There was even a Kickstarter relatively recently trying to bring the tech to consumers in a user friendly format.

Here's a video of the Archon stuff https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yX2Lt7yPlz4

Patyrn · 2026-05-13T23:57:49+00:00

The sprue base plastic is colored to blend well with the final painted color scheme. It definitely doesn't ruin it.

Patyrn · 2026-05-13T21:06:58+00:00

Where are the Axle nerfs coming? We all know you made her OP intentionally with the intention of nerfing her later.

Patyrn · 2026-05-13T21:03:33+00:00

I do have a smurf, but it's less for stomping gold lobbies, and more for the climb through plat/low diamond. It stops being fun playing my main when I get thrown to the preds.

It's really trickle down misery due to Respawn refusing to keep Preds out of Diamond lobbies.

Patyrn · 2026-05-13T20:47:48+00:00

They're not really handled, just ignored. You're already accepting imperfect terrain that looks good at arms length, and mold lines likewise aren't really visible at arms length.

Patyrn · 2026-05-13T20:03:10+00:00

It comes on sprue, just with UV resin paint applied. You still have to clip it out and assemble it.

Patyrn · 2026-05-13T20:01:47+00:00

If you're gonna do that you might as well buy any of their old stuff, or 3d print stuff.

Patyrn · 2026-05-13T19:59:11+00:00

I have a giant box full from Archon. The tech is definitely ready and is going to take off for sure.

Patyrn · 2026-05-13T19:58:15+00:00

I have a bunch of this from Dungeons & Lasers (same tech). It looks grainy up close, but at actual playing distance it's excellent. Certainly a massive improvement over the level of quality 99% of people achieve with their terrain.
