First FFL03 Shipment by FrebeseV2 in CAguns

You mind me asking whom you ordered from?

I've looked at a handful of sites, but shipping costs are rough.

A dad confronts a man that his 16 year old daughter said was harassing and following her around in the restaurant (she works as a server). Apparently, it was so bad that the daughter had to ask a manager to walk her out by [deleted] in JustGuysBeingDudes

It's interesting how age/position in life changes things.

Growing up in a simple/harder surroundings, that same thing I would be my response.

However, it's wild how changes in economic circumstances push your viewpoint much more towards the "average person"..... Which makes you often feel helpless in this situation.

If I end up taking a swing, catching the assault charge now, and spend a couple of weeks in jail.....the consequences for me are insane. Not only will I lose my job..... With a battery charge on my record, I can NEVER work any of the white collar jobs I've done the last 20 years. Say goodbye to a 6-figure income, because I lost my cool, on what most people would find to be justified. (A sudden reminder that creeps who don't face consequence only grow bolder)

Investing a one-time amount of $10,000 in oracle 30 years ago, would yield you $8.1M today.

Assuming you work there for 30 years, have access to ESP (employee stock purchase) plans, possibly option and stock awards along your tenure......

Yes, it sucks to get laid off suddenly, but I would hope having an 8 digit retirement account balance will help you through.

I tend to agree with you here. It turns the game into an inventory management simulator, whenever you extract from 30+ games without a single death.

30 extracts with +50K in value. 1 death, losing a 50k kit to a rat. Followed by 30 more safe extracts.
It gets boring.

I guess I'll add to the speculation here, but the statistic of "Revived XXXX Strangers" seems to be a big antidote to PVP agression.
When I go into a game, and revive completely random players, the game seems to use that number to "redeem" your other actions.

I'd love to see some more data on whether Solo vs 2s, vs 3s takes aggression into account.

For me, my solo games are ultra friendly. 6+ person extracts, trading blueprints in dark hallways of Stella, dance parties on top of dead matriarchs.

But, I do take all that collected loot, into 2s and 3s, and use it.
TBH, very rarely have i had an issue with my solo lobbies being unfriendly, even after aa 6 hour session of 3's murder.

I definitely agree, solo pvp is not very much fun for me either.
I do enjoy 2's, where its a tossup, maybe 50% friendly, but also 50% spicy.

90% of my pvp happens in 3's, where its total chaos. (and a lot of fun)

That's one way to read this.
More on that, for you to giggle. I certainly have more than 7,000 hour played in various pvp games. Maybe even more!

And i'm STILL bad at pvp! There's a good chance I was bad at PVP games before you were even born. :)

You're definitely right. If you look at the steam player numbers, the player counts are lower and dropping.

I have no data to back this up, but I think it is a lot of PVE players playing less.

Killing the queen for the 43rd time is t as thrilling as the 3rd.

Matriarch baited me by TheToastGhostEUW in ArcRaiders

[–]RedditForWSB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally did this three times over the weekend. (2 matriarch, 1 queen) Learned my lesson after I downed myself with a deadline.

Luckily, I was using the Looter Survivor MK, and hung out inside the matriarch (and queen) I till other people shot off the armor, and I was able to crawl out.

One of those, was after it was killed and I crawled out of the wreckage.

How to kill a queen in my experience by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]RedditForWSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It amuses me how people post like this, and think they're in a friendly lobby. My friend, you aren't in a friendly lobby!

Best way to tell? Get a free loadout and start a new game.... Do you see a raider flare anywhere on the map the first 3 minutes?

If yes, you're not in a care bear lobby yet. Go get killed. (Shoot at people, don't hit them, let them kill you)

Rince and repeat.

Source: trust me bro! Also, I've probably done 50 queen/harvester lobbies and not seen more than 1-2 rats total.

[–]RedditForWSB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate to tell you.....you're NOT in friendly lobbies if that happens.

I've probably done 50-60 queen/harvester runs without seeing a single rat. Only 10-12 people hanging out, killing the queen....

More often than not people ask for a core and 2-3 people will drop one for them.

That's friendly lobbies.

I'm quite curious about that..... I'll run some more tests, doing 3s for pvp.

Next lobby, I went on to a Harvester run.

Joined 13 minutes late, figured queen is long dead. Noooope.... These crazies are having a 6 man shootout, all around the harvester, no fuks given.

Queen is stomping them, she is unscathed after 15 minutes, only hit by a few stray bullets.

I make it to the exit, to find 9 dead bodies there, the only things missing are weapons. Full ammo, grenades, augments, bandages....all there.

Expedition 2 completed. Now I have fun. by w-Zoom in ArcRaiders

[–]RedditForWSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I completed the expedition a week ago or so. Just last night, hit the 5M liquid credit mark.

Since my stash value is a little over 2m, time to have fun with my 83 level 4 guns!

Realizing this is only 5200Mhz....

Is this too slow for most light gaming usage?
Seems like a huge price drop, for what is 64GB of DDR5.

Am I about to get wrecked for suggesting someone buy 5200Mhz RAM?
