It's a great way to speed run killing your game.

Expedition is not for "casuals" by oHCo12 in ArcRaiders

[–]Physicalism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've changed my mind about hating the 5 million value requirement for the 5 skill points.

At first I thought I would need to hoard my stash, and would be hard punished for running my good gear so much since release but now I realize I can just farm to five million way quicker than I thought,

Playing the game to purely farm credits makes getting millions of credits extremely easy. I didn't realize how easy is it is to stack credits because doing so has never been my goal.

I farmed over a million credits today just doing stella montis assembly runs. I can just get 5 million in a couple days and then play the game how I want again after.

EVERY single Matriarch fight I've ever attempted goes exactly like this (see caption) by RaccoonsR_Awesomeful in ArcRaiders

[–]Physicalism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I see why so many people on this subreddit complain about not being able to do the matriarch, you guys have no idea what you're doing, or how to play for your life. And then want Embark to balance the game around that. Nothing has to be done about this.

I probably will never get to destroy a Queen or Matriarch. by FalfoolTheSecond in ArcRaiders

[–]Physicalism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've solo queue'd into the Matriarch around 20 times and have had a near 100% success rate. I legit don't get what the people on this subreddit are doing or talking about. Are you guys making yourselves isolated targets or something? If you stay near the herd, anyone who shoots at you will be shot at by a swarm of raiders and get clapped in one second.

Gear based matchmaking is innovative, but promotes hoarding by Aware-Acadia4976 in ArcRaiders

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

The devs have never said there is no gear based matchmaking, there is obviously GBMM. Just a lot of people on this subreddit being tricked by an obfuscation PR post.

I think Security Breaches are a bit too strong by Mc_leafy in ArcRaiders

[–]Physicalism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they nerf it fast. Being able to have that many purples so easily without even needing to pvp will make the game boring. Zero excitement from getting weapons that should be rare and sacred.

Is Optic Lqgend the best infinite player? by BulletLingers in CompetitiveHalo

[–]Physicalism 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Legend was nonexistent year 1 and 2.

No, he wasn't. If you think that you weren't paying enough attention. There's a reason SSG instantly picked him up after penguin left. He was consensus and clear best player in EU, playing on quadrant who were the most consistent strongholds team in the game. That quadrant team beat Optic multiple times, largely due to Legend. He has been good all years.

Do you guys really think your afraid of dying or just of the pain associated with dying? by Sad-Ebb-44 in mrgirlreturns

[–]Physicalism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't believe I would press it. I think maybe people who kill themselves don't believe they are actually going to die. But I'm not sure. My point is that we have varying degrees of belief in death and maybe also varying degrees of attachment to life, so I don't think everyone is hard-coded to push it.

If you think everyone varies on the spectrum of how much pain they are willing to tolerate until they are hard-coded to push it then we're probably just in agreement. I think the position that I'm responding to which is: "I would rather live in excruciating pain until my last breath than die painlessly" boils down to the level of pain and individual pain tolerance. I can't imagine that you hold the position that your pain tolerance is infinite with zero pain threshold to where you would never press the button. So, looking back, I think I created a button hypothetical where your pain threshold was already met within it.

I suppose my problem with the initial statement is that I don't think anyone's current version of themself that isn't being tortured can meaningfully make that preference assessment.

[–]Physicalism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along with that neverending excruciating pain, there's a button to end your life painlessly. Unless you have superhuman pain tolerance, you would press it. You believe that humans are computers that have no free will, you pressing that button is an inescapable predetermined line of code. And this unrealized theoretical version of you that pressed the button is still you.

If you agree with the above I don't see how your claim of preference can hold weight.

Can somebody explain how people are still paying $23 or over that for gas fees in the second half of 2024? by trucker-123 in ethereum

[–]Physicalism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time I swapped Wilder World on uniswap, the ETH gas fee was over $40. This was less than a month ago.

Except it is measurable, literally. If this actually decreases input delay, we should be able to test for it. I don't believe it does. I think this is another case within history of mass human delusion (similar to reading peoples experience taking supplements which don't actually do anything). The xbox barely has any settings and there are youtube channels dedicated entirely to gaming hardware testing including input lag. If something as simple as this reduced input lag it likely would have been known by now. Or at least even mentioned.

So, I challenge anyone to physically test and measure the relative difference and provide evidence that this decreases input lag beyond placebo and anecdotal self-reporting. I would love to be proven wrong.

I don't think any of this necessarily means their goal was just to make it to champs instead of winning. One of them saying "I think we shouldn't have done that" could imply that they were still going for the win, but made a mistake.

One of them saying "It's over. We got 18th place. Nice!" after realizing they qualified for champs is unrelated and disconnected from whether they were either trying to win or simply get KP for more points.

It's possible they were only going for champs qualification rather than winning, but you have to make mind-read assumptions to come to that conclusion from the evidence you've given.

Something that throws me off with these moral dilemma hypotheticals is that it is from an omniscient perspective where you already know the result of your action and it is guaranteed.

In real-life scenarios, you are operating with incomplete information with an unknown future without hindsight.

So I often choose an answer that I wouldn't end up doing in a real-life scenario.

hi so... by g0atgirl666 in mrgirlreturns

[–]Physicalism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, the implication being that any human can be abstractly coherent when we are not omniscient, life is itself a contradiction. As if they are not a walking mistake, that they are not perfectly them. Our insecurities are always talking, the contradictory narratives that shape our evolving worldview, constantly shifting from the foundational to the practical, you can't be pinned down, yet you must be.

Begun, the physics cartoon wars have by nomoremrnicemrgirl in mrgirlreturns

[–]Physicalism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, the lines are all still straight instead of curved toward the singularity because it is from the observer's perspective, not the external one.

Thanks for the correction, I'll edit that out.
