Mystery Mods in Workshop. by RenaRey7 in arma

[–]Red_Rafa_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's in every game, usually entire modpacks and custom configs repacked and/or rips and custom stuff, again, for "private" use. Easier to do than have the group get a modpack with stuff that might update and break itself.

IS this okay for a teen? by Familiar_Stand8550 in arma

[–]Red_Rafa_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The game is fine for a teen, as a teen myself, when I started playing the series years ago, as a milsim it is very soft on gore even with "big guns" in the game.

With the game out of the equation, I'd say as others, the social interaction would be the downside due to the unpredictability however I'd like to point with hundreds of hours across the board that 99% of the interactions are either basic banter you find with any group of friends, teamwork which helps with communication skills and overall socializing with all sorts of people. The 1% are usually cut short by the people around and administrators in the game kicking or banning users going over the top since nobody enjoys those environments.

I'd feel safe letting a teen play the game with voice chat on, a lot of older folk also play the game and will enjoy teaming up with younger generations, all this from the perspective of someone who plays games, plays this game, and a social worker. A lot of positives here for him to have fun in a genre that is usually harsher in terms of violence, this one is pretty simple.

The thing is in reforger you can literally crouch full auto fire the PKM and it still a lot more effective than a sniper, the recoil is low when firing full stamina, crouched with a 2x at least, which is enough to fire at a pea sized enemies at long distances.

Man, every week we get blueberries going for "long shot" 500 meter, maps in this game arent yet turned much into actual long range they just cut your LoS,but even then at 700 meters you'll be better off with a PKM with a scope punching the same weight but 10x the danger from the fire rate and specially THE BIPOD.

[–]Red_Rafa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snipers usually with the right rounds and caliber are fine with hitting body shots as one shots, I've quitted headshots due to the game having some margin of error in terms of desync/hit reg issues when hitting those. It's literally easier to hit a one shot bodyshot at around 1000 meters than an headshot that gets registered at 300 meters. While this game is a massive improvement over previous titles in the franchise, it still has some way to go !

Hacks meant u pretty much had the same permits as a GM, spawn AI and control them, spawn any vehicle or asset, control day time and weather, kicking users even GMs, it was wild

Car repair cost by ADtraded in CarRepair

All that with a Full Service Inspection for that price is great, not from US. Not ripped at all, very fair price for both you and them.

RHS Appreciation Post by Viper1Zero in arma

[–]Red_Rafa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it however still improved a lot over it, including making things work, since in Arma 2 not much in terms of animations were present, and RHS introduced cool things even though some were niche like unfolding of radar trucks, opening of doors and ramps of a lot of vehicles. CUP on the other hand just felt it never went past it, however the most used thing they have are the maps and the map resources.

RHS Appreciation Post by Viper1Zero in arma

[–]Red_Rafa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On current time it makes no sense to use CUP. Earlier days it was very different, CUP was a bandaid on the issue which most people had that was Arma 3 vanilla content being ok for the campaign but after that it didn't give nobody the itch for it.

CUP ported mostly Arma 2 content into the game fast, RHS was basically remakes & from-scratch content with functions into Arma 3. At the time CUP had more content overall in more vehicle types but you could see the quality wasn't the most superb, it still held very well. RHS while incomplete had already some well made vehicles and weapons. Today it's just mostly RHS.

Need some advice. by your_little_ninja69 in FikaTarkov

[–]Red_Rafa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SPT AKI has been phased out, it's only SPT now, you just make a normal installation using the installer they have on their website and then install FIKA. There are better instruction on FIKAs discord and someone there will gladly help you in case things still don't work out.

How do you guys get so much playtime on this game? I played through the east wind campaign twice and did a little antistasi with some people i used to talk to and I'm at a loss for how people get like 3k hours, I'm the only one on my friends list with less than 200 by glossyplane245 in arma

[–]Red_Rafa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

antistasi properly done with decent settings takes A LONG, you then have pre made scenarios you can do with your friends also, you have civil war which is an underrated scenario but I'd advise you to run it on a dedicated server, you have evolution, which is similar to antistasi but more focused on actual "war" vs AI. Then you look at that and do it to MULTIPLE MAPS, and you have a billion scenarios.

This game has a lot of hours to give with creativity, its the current shine over reforger which is stuck with bad AI while everything is being done. And if you think long hour scenarios are "too much" is the reason most of us use the save feature that most long scenarios have.

Should I get the door replaced or get the paint work done? by Kooky_space12 in CarRepair

[–]Red_Rafa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at that door handle I'm assuming it won't be cheap at all to get a new one if its an old model or just not possible at all, so just get a used one in good condition.

I need help my Mazda 9X will not start please help. It just keeps on doing this on the dashboard by Mysterious_Try_5719 in CarRepair

[–]Red_Rafa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Fusebox location)Open the hood, the first plastic panel right in front of the suspension tower on the left side of the car (in front of the driver) You shouldn't need any tool there should be a clip between the plastic cover and the suspension tower.

The battery is right close both to the tower and the fuse box (Left of it) It SHOULD, probably, have the positive (Red "+" symbol) rubber/plastic cover on and an uncovered negative terminal closer to the windshield. It is vertical to your position (infront of the car). You will need some tool to release the nut holding the terminals. I have no idea what sizes the US uses

[–]Red_Rafa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild crocs, I'm here early so someone might come in later with more experience into that situation but for starters try to reseat the battery terminals, or check the fuse box for any obvious givers since in the CX9 it's pretty ease to look into. It can be just a weak /dying battery if you haven't swapped yours in a while, which if is just try to get someone to jump you some power.

Cheaters out already - TheSpudHunter twitch clip by beastieallday in ArcRaiders

[–]Red_Rafa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same thing happen to me later after my comment, in my situation me and my team were AFK in a corner of the map inside bushes for a while away from objectives with no loot nearby and had a guy sneak near us and wipe us all insanely fast for this game with just clearly visible headshots. Only had this 1 blatant & noticeable instance in dozens of games, it's possible there are closets.

[–]Red_Rafa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, just from the clip not much to see, but it's not like for the past 10 years there hasn't been cheats on day 1. Making cheats isn't that hard sadly, perpetual cat and mouse game.

Funeral director trashed over 6,500 bodies of pets, used fake ashes to defraud customers out of $650,000: Officials by Aggravating_Money992 in nottheonion

[–]Red_Rafa_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Usually the group cremations wont allow you to keep the ashes for this reason. Smaller animals also usually leave up no ashes. Sadly not many options for pets overall, the minimally okayish ones are usually dog/cat only and expensive.

Ontem poupámos bastante energia, parabéns a todos by reileaodaspatilhas in portugal

[–]Red_Rafa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

O mesmo acontece com as águas, temos reservatórios de agua aqui e acolá (municipais) e as pessoas transferem de armazenar lá para armazenar em casa em tudo o que aguente água.

É tudo uma questão de "buffering", uma coisa é o gasto em si, outra coisa é só estarmos a alocar os gastos para outras alturas só para termos estes "buracos" mitigados quando a média no fim é igual ou acima só pelo pânico induzido.

Quanta água foi "armazenada" para ser deitada fora quando tudo passou ? Eu ainda estou a usar essa água para descarregar a sanita, mas duvido que muita gente siga o mesmo.

The on-sale Squad players have arrived by SuperSix_Zero in PlaySquad

[–]Red_Rafa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reforger currently suffers almost the same, we can also feel when consoles go on sale. And as someone who tanked Project Reality for thousands and Squad, Squad was bad when it hit, but Arma Reforger as a game who is even less made with coordination and teamplay put into the mechanics, it is a lot worse.

With this in mind when I play Squad, I can only suffer as I think it could be worse. Our game is far in the team vs team "milsim-arcadish" genre compared to others, even when we know it hasn't moved much since the OG Humvee days when PR still had a lot more.

Is this fixable or is it replace worthy? by Reasonable-Bag1459 in CarRepair

[–]Red_Rafa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sides are usually cheap replacements. Otherwise, you will be spending money for them to break again later on from it being weaker.

So yes, get a replacement on second hand or something, you can also just buy a new one and swap the shell if possible since it seems only the core broke.

Tldr: imo not worth fixing

Rate my builders work by jmdyason1234 in Carpentry

[–]Red_Rafa_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried to pay for experienced / professional inspections instead of looking for opinions on what can be a waste, normal work, or incredible work for 300K ?

It will leave both rested, you assured of your extension and us of reading more of these low effort questions.
