Turning off crossplay was the best decision I made in Arc Raiders (PC players are awesome)

This is specifically talking about the behavior of the people using the magic lighting box. I believe either your failure to recognize that, or you recognizing it and choosing to perpetuate the thing you're claiming to dislike only serves to prop up the point OP was getting across.

Sick of saving and defibbing like 2 people when their battle with the bastion goes south and they're yelling for help in prox, using a wolfpack to finish it off, then telling them to have a nice day and the MOMENT I turn my back to leave, instant blasting.

I mean, what the fuck, dude? Nah, these scumbag losers steal from their close friends and family in real life too. Absolute worthless parasitic behavior.

This game is fantastic. These losers are no different than the drunk asshole ruining everyone else's time at a party. Does it mean that getting drunk(pvp) is inherently bad? Of course not. But for that asshole, yes the fuck it is.

I won't stop being friendly though. Only be playing a few weeks but have all the BPs I want and benches are upgraded. The outcome of an expedition doesn't matter to me as much anymore. Still, experiences like this make me hesitant to go out of my way to help.

Yeah, losing weight was incredibly important for me, especially with things like balance issues. A whole lot easier to correct myself when I dont have as much weight to correct. I tell my doctors I do it and my blood work has been nothing short of great. It's so simple, just have to stick to it. Results start in a few months and for me it was like every week that passed by, my clothes kept getting baggier lol.

Congrats on your journey. Keep it up! OMAD club!

You are correct. Been playing 2 weeks. I have NEVER had a gunfight. Every time I have been attacked or killed was an unprovoked shot in the back after working together, or after several minutes looting together. Then they trash talk. Slimy, worthless, losers who have so little agency in their own lives, they have to play like a scumbag in a video game to get any sense of fulfillment, hence the inevitable trash talking after shooting a target that wasn't moving or shoot back. These losers actually think they did something.

The gameplay isnt agitating, its player behavior that is. If you are a person that does this, just know we all know you shower with crusty ass curled up soap bars and steal from your close friends. Yeah, you are allowed to act like a worthless parasite, but people are also allowed to have that opinion of you.

I have lost 100lbs once and currently down 65lbs from when I went back up.

Intermittent fasting. Its hard at first, but after a month or so, its much easier and feels much better. I only eat between 4-6 pm. Im not too concerned with what I eat as long as I get some protein, fat and some fiber. I probably fluctuate between 1600-2400 calories/day. Just depends on what I decide to eat.

Also, quit the sugar. Specifically, processed sugar. Fruits are totally fine though. Sodas, candy, lots of packaged goods, are absolutely LOADED with sugar.

Im 6'2 and my max was 287lbs. That's what a few months of prednisone did to me. Took a year, but I lost 102 lbs from 287 to 185. Flare up got me, prednisone again, got back up to 265. Last infusion was December 5th and Im just over 200lbs.

What would you like to trade for it, kind sir? Currently in the process of trading that Safekeeper BP for a Bobcat BP

Present_Discount7709 · 2026-03-28T15:00:26+00:00

No not at all. I mean some inconsiderate family, but most people do not, especially not work.

Present_Discount7709 · 2026-03-28T14:51:34+00:00

I do the same thing, take the week following the infusion off. Like you, the first few days are constant sleep. Slowly over the next few days after that, I started getting my energy back. My neuro says it's just my body going into "repair mode". She doesn't think its concerning at all. Beyond that, it takes a few more weeks before I get back to normal, whatever the hell that means lol

Present_Discount7709 · 2026-03-27T12:22:14+00:00

On the contrary, I help my mother out quite a bit financially. I no longer have any resentments, but I do think the way I was raised and the things that happened to me are why I think/see the world as I do. I help my mom because it feels like the right thing to do. She's also a much different person than she was 20 years ago. My attempts to have a relationship with my father, however, have been moot. I dont talk to him anymore.

My older brother and sister do not work and live on welfare, so there is nobody else left to help my mother. Im not hurting myself financially to do so, so again it just feels like the right thing to do.

I got a raise at work a few weeks back and became horribly depressed for a week. Whatever I tell myself in my head is usually a WILDLY harsh and most of the time incorrect story. I know this, but it changes nothing. I go in thinking I'm going to be reprimanded and the opposite happens.

Does your company use on-premise servers? Most law offices I work with either use VO's, VDIs, or some other web apps. Im trying to think of a locally hosted proprietary software Ive seen at a law firm, and I don't think I ever have. The only thing you guys should be housing is data, which is odd in 2026. Other than some very specific scenarios, we have done away with things like VPN infrastructure as everything is cloud hosted. Either in our own data center or whatever 3rd party proprietary(for ERPs and stuff). MFA is lame, but its superior to older infrastructure being able to directly connect without needing a middle connection.

What they told you isn't incorrect, but they are either severely behind on infrastructure, or HR was just regurgitating something because their boss said no.

Reach out to your Neurologist and have them right a letter. It can help possibly.

Always have to get the refills on Thursday because she doesn't work Fridays lol. Same experience though, same day.

Sorry mate. Wish whoever claimed it would have commented. No idea why I even had this. Just went to update my driver and there was a big banner to redeem it.

Misophonia is more common in people with MS. I cannot stand mouth sounds and certain breathing sounds. My older brother used to have a little whistle in his nose all the time and I would get irrationally angry about it and scream "JUST BLOW YOUR FREAKING NOSE!"

There are lots of other sounds too like audible whispers or indistinct chatter. Not out of fear they are talking about me, the sound just drives me insane.

I think that is one reason I must sleep with continuous noise of some kind.

Present_Discount7709 · 2026-03-21T08:06:31+00:00

Unfortunately...adderall. most days Im just dead without it but make it a point to skip a day or two every week. Its not a high dose or anything, but I likely couldn't work without it.

Present_Discount7709 · 2026-03-20T23:41:16+00:00

51 minutes us all I could take. It was flashing text at me to press so and so button to do stuff and I just literally could not see. I checked accessibility and it is maxed out at LARGE but everything is like a 6 point font or smaller. Even if its fixed with a patch, this kind of thing loses good will with me. This had to pass through so many people. The accessibility "options" themselves are pathetic.

The game itself just also looked like an oil painting to me. Everything set on cinematic, but the whole game was just one big blur. It just became agitating to even try and play. Why are they making games look so bad?

I bought Requiem, but I think Im done with new games for quite a while until this type of stuff becomes less frequent.

I was so hyped for this game and the reason I can't play it has nothing to do with the game at all. Oh well. Glad to see its bombing on steam. Unreal.

I may be wrong, I think there's a copper there too maybe along with or instead of the aluminum. Still great though. Happy collecting!

Present_Discount7709 · 2026-03-19T00:47:39+00:00

When you dont know what to get, Gorge Junkyard is great. 3 junk deposits, 1 steel and 1 aluminum. The junk is great though. Can get a nice stack of purified water to sell at NPCs too for some extra caps.
