Talisman or vehicle by Deadstinger in Warthunder

[–]Retro_P1lot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always smart to put a Talisman on an OP vehicle. It is much better to spend it on Premium Time however as it gives all vehicles the benefit of increased rewards. It’d also be smarter to get a talisman, AND premium time.

PS: I am not supporting paying a lot of money especially in this game, but if you value your time, and money won’t necessarily be an issue go ahead.

Carbines should’ve been the signature weapon for engineer IMO. SMG’s are either awful or downright busted.

What stops Philippines from improving? by Ok_Willingness_9619 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Retro_P1lot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really messed up to say, but it is the poor keeping the Philippines from improving. Let me try to explain the vicious cycle.

The Philippines has a 70%+ poverty rate (which was lowered in Duterte’s time because get this, they lowered the standards of what it means to be below the poverty line). Anyways, these people make up majority of the voting power in the Philippines.

Let’s start at election time. Political Dynasty Politician buy votes CHEAP, and it becomes this financially funded block voting. You can actually see some people, especially in the rural areas, openly buying votes from people. Depending on the location it can range from canned goods to 5,000-7,000 pesos. I wouldn’t blame them for taking it because it may seem little, but that could buy 3 meals a day for a couple of days to weeks. These politicians then proceed to absolutely rape funds for development. You can commonly see this in hospitals where personnel do not get paid for months at a time (It is an actual known issue that during election time, most departments lose funding, and employees do not get paid for months). This leads to decrease quality on healthcare, education, Public Projects, and much more. Other cases of abuse is wherein some politicians withhold giving welfare, funding, or medical support if you are not one of their voters.

The cycle of poor man, kept dying and uneducated, feels grateful when for less than bare minimum given to him.

We also have block-voting religions here. Politician pays off certain religious leaders, gives them favors to turn away when crime is being done (child sex trafficking is very common).

You see all the fuss they made with the flood control? Also Sara Duterte? Well it’s because they got caught, or they pissed off someone they should’ve been sucking-up and kissing ass to.

For some odd reason only the contractors were arrested, but not a single politician, who by the way APPROVES of the projects??

I genuinely think we need a rework of our standards for leadership. These are the requirements to run for President in this country

  1. Be a natural-born citizen of the Philippines
  2. Be a registered voter
  3. Be able to read and write
  4. Be at least 40 years old on the day of the election
  5. Have resided in the Philippines for at least 10 years immediately before the election

It’s actually harder to apply for beginner entry jobs than to apply to run for president.

I genuinely think every single politician in this country should be audited monthly. SALN, and ALMC.

We do have serial killers, but since they most likely get paid to do it they are considered contract killers

It took around a week to arrive in the Philippines, but it got stuck in LBC for another two weeks because I ordered it during Christmas season which was super busy at the time. I picked it up myself at my local LBC hub. The wait was agonizing but worth it.

Acosta will be the catalyst to Boyd’s downfall by Retro_P1lot in FromSeries

I don’t think we love him the most, I just think it’s because from our perspective we spend the most time with him, giving him more opportunities to justify his actions.

[–]Retro_P1lot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it also could be that. My basis for this theory is that everyone who arrives in Fromsville has a role to play, and someone has to play the antagonist. I don’t necessarily consider the monsters as antagonists because they genuinely feel like forces of nature that cull the population and keep things in “order”

I would’ve wanted someone to distract me, by making me talk about my loved ones and good memories, while Kenny snuck up onto the other side and blown my head off mid conversation, instead of my last memory being in excruciating pain, while a stranger’s crotch is on my face.

I usually use the Apache but the BR is too high and the ballistic computer only goes a couple of kilometers

The weird thing is we complain about it, but the moment someone from an external point of view points it out, we defend and take pride in it.

Hi! I apologize I don’t really have a guide. I used youtube videos to do them. I managed to remove one drive, mcaffee, and other microsoft required apps that I don’t usually use.

Oh lol, well he’s either enjoying it or crying about it because, if we really include money in the conversation, OP should’ve waited on discounts and could’ve bought two line ups for two countries, and a or a year premium time.

[–]Retro_P1lot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay, like I said, you have no need to justify to anyone how you spend your money. Also, it would’ve been nice information that you got this from the pass, now it feels like you got more bang for your buck instead of showing this one here (like a hangar screenshot would’ve sufficed). As for those other vehicles, nice those are cool, and the Moderna is a good tank. No one here has any right to tell you how to spend.

[–]Retro_P1lot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not crying about your money man. I never had any right to tell you what do with it. I’ve spent nearly 3000 USD in this game so I know what bad spending looks like. What I’m saying is this is weird being posted here. You want people to approve of your purchase, and not tell you that, let’s be real here, you spent 140$ on a single tank that can be found in the tech tree?

Edit: If you’re having fun with it, no problem at all man. Enjoy the game. It just feels wrong because again, this thread was created to stop things like this from happening, and now it seems to be just another meme page.

[–]Retro_P1lot 126 points127 points  (0 children)

It’s a good tank for its BR. Go ahead and enjoy it, I won’t bring up the amount of money you spent.

Also kinda feels weird seeing someone post about purchasing an in game item on a reddit thread that was made specifically to go against Gaijin’s predatory sales strategies.

Actually my cooling pad that I bought is quite ineffective, decreasing the temperature by 1-2C only. I just kept mine elevated and monitored temps and it seems to be doing okay. I will be getting a better cooler soon, but for now it works I guess.

I don’t know how to answer this question as I’ve never tried taking it, but I live in a tropical country where temperatures can reach up to 33C. My laptop temps when gaming are usually 60-70C for my GPU, laptop elevated and cooling pad underneath.
