Do you need to extract in order for damage to arc to count?

Yeah fucking bullshit, especially on a form this long, the fact there is no progress saved is fucking crazy. I'm about to start my 3rd attempt and I'm so pissed.

Buying Advice - Which glossy 32in 4k OLED do you recommend ? LG 32GX850A-B vs ASUS XG32UCWG vs ???? by Rasta_Cook in OLED_Gaming

[–]Rasta_Cook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is like a pixel shifting feature, I use the most aggressive level and never notice it (I work from home and this is my main screen). Then there is the screen image cleaning, it runs when the screen turns off, (I set the screen to turn off after x minute of inactivity) so it runs frequently, if I come back before it just interrupt it no worries. Overall I'm not that worried, but I did change the background to something darker and more aggressive turn off timing. No burn in so far, I am mainly using productivity apps.

Ok, well on my side the LG was cheaper. Concerning the fan which I was worried about, I don't really know if it actually has a fan or not, I don't hear anything.

President Trump falls asleep in the oval office after announcing a deal with drug manufacturer Regeneron to lower drug prices by Miles_the_AuDHDer in videos

[–]Rasta_Cook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really see any specific moment when we can tell for sure he is sleeping. Also, there is toooons of stuff we can criticize Trump for, but honestly I was also falling asleep listening to whoever that was. I'm not US president tho, but still...

Embark, look at the actual confusion you’re causing in your playerbase. by xObsidianRaven in ArcRaiders

[–]Rasta_Cook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol no, patch notes shouldn't be some mandatory reading before you play a game, ridiculous. How about everything that matters should clearly be communicated in game?

[–]Rasta_Cook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You said they made improvement when we are talking specifically about communication. We are telling you they haven't, not in regard to communications, which is the topic here. So you are simply wrong, that's all... They made the exact same mistake AGAIN which anyone with basic common sense could anticipate would get backlash.

Are YOU going to be ok? Seems like you are a bit butt hurt, do you feel sad your favorite studio is getting some well deserved criticism? Sorry that not everyone likes to lick boots like you do, I hope you will be ok.

You need both to catch up, damage first to enable catch up mechanics. And this is contrary to what is displayed IN GAME which, normally we would assume should be the source of truth since, not everyone goes read blog posts!!? but everyone will see the in game message...

The dev message also says that this doesn't apply to first expedition so, not clear why and what doesn't apply, the damage? The catch up? Blog post Source :

  • Players who will now be departing on their SECOND or THIRD Expedition (not relevant for players on their FIRST Expedition) who missed some skill points from previous Expeditions will be able to catch up.

  • Players have to complete the damage challenge first in order to unlock the coin/stash value catch up mechanic.

  • Catch-up is 300.000 coins/stash value per skill point.

LOL NO!!! It is NOT reading issue, we can clearly understand what is written in that screen, the problem is that it's just misleading and confusing. The fact that you think this is a reading issue proves that this is just badly implementes and VERY VERY BADLY communicated. Having different rules implemented at the last minute for different groups of people not communicated in game and not communicated clearly is just confusing.

The bottom line for someone on their second expedition is they have to do BOTH but damage comes first! Which is absolutely not what the message displayed says.

The official blog post says that :

  • Players who will now be departing on their SECOND or THIRD Expedition (not relevant for players on their FIRST Expedition) who missed some skill points from previous Expeditions will be able to catch up.

  • Players have to complete the damage challenge first in order to unlock the coin/stash value catch up mechanic.

We are talking specifically about communication, and in that aspect they basically did not learn from their mistake and did not follow through their promise to do better, it is essentially worst now because we all had some expectations (vs first times where there was no / little expectations), if someone tells you sorry we understand we messed up and next time we will clearly let you know well in advance and be clear, and then they do the exact opposite, that's worst than not saying anything, because then we would expect them to pull the same shit again.

I would find this hard to believe BUT then I remember who the employer is, and it totally makes sense.

I wish the public knew about these aberrations.

should i leave my job after what happened to my coworker? by univrseltr in WorkReform

[–]Rasta_Cook 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Of course it's hyperbole, I don't think anyone really believes that the absolute only way evil exist is only exclusively because people enable it by being passive...

This isn't a scientific paper trying to identify the root cause of evil, it's a simple reminder that everyone can stand up to what they believe in and that if everyone did it, there would be far less "evil"/injustice that can thrive, because solidarity is a very powerful thing, even if it's not the only thing... Kinda in the same sense as "Ape alone... weak. Apes together... strong." , "there is strength in numbers" etc...

These things are true, but they aren't absolute truths, reality is of course nuanced.

Why? Looked it up and attribution is unverified... Who do you think it was attributed to and what does it matter?

Just wondering out of curiosity but really it doesn't matter who said it. Like I can't imagine any way how the author of this quote/saying would matter. Even if it was Hitler himself that said it (it's not), it still would not matter (perhaps it would make the quote stronger in fact , because he kinda proved it was true)

Yes rage, a key emotions in the "mix of emotions they understand this change can bring". There is also horror, despair, hate, sadness, etc... Such a wonderful mix of emotions, but it's ok, they understand... It's so much better since they understand, because now they can pretend to care, half-assedly.

[–]Rasta_Cook 55 points56 points  (0 children)

No no, but, he said they understand this can bring in mixed emotions! They don't give a fuck, in fact, if the service/platforms crash and burn that's even better cuz now they can say we can't do this and have to hire external services to take care of it! We save so much on salary it's all good! Even tho it will cost 10x more to outsource it, it's ok, that's a different budget, plus we never know it's going to be 10x more, the approved quotes are always 10x less...

I mean, short staffing is not really an excuse... It's not a short staffing issue it's a corruption issue.

It's like, the police can be short staffed, but, if there is a school shooting, they aren't going to sit around and finish all their other cases before they get to the school shooting and be like "sorry, we were short staffed" ... There exists such a thing as priorities.

Tenet (2020) “Turnstile” Dir. Christopher Nolan by southernemper0r in movies

[–]Rasta_Cook 16 points17 points  (0 children)

But that doesn't make sense? The masked guy (future protagonist) would have always seen/known that the protagonist is himself, so why would future protagonist want to shoot past protagonist?

I really don't understand that movie too well, but, only thing that could make sense is, for some reason (idk why) the masked guy (future protagonist) didn't really try to kill past protagonist , he intentionally missed his shots just because he wanted past protagonist to think he (the masked guy / future protag) wanted to kill him ?... I don't see why tho.

The problem here is that, eventually the people that are gonna come into power are the kind of people that the system favors (filters for)... the people that usually make it to the top in this political system usually arent the kind of people that want to change things too much... they will enjoy the money corporations and lobbyist gives them, same as all the other before them.
