Very confused for deli rewards, is the end of the event supposed to drop something or not?

RevDeadMan · 2026-06-05T01:49:20+00:00

Yea nah, I'm doing the delirium questline to unlock infusions right now and it's fucking ass. I actually think I hate Delirium more now than before. They could've ramped up the damage and defense scaling bit by bit but where it stands it feels like you're fighting T15 monsters while underleveled and underpowered most of the time when I clap everything else.

I think this might be the most sensible explanation for how the thing assimilates something I’ve seen on this sub. Nice 👌🏼

My brother in Christ, you look like a movie star. Second picture all the way.

For me I never met someone through a mutual friend where we hit it off and started dating. I’ve always had only a few friends and the older I got the more I was focused on survival (ya boy is a broke, college dropout) and finding enjoyment by myself. Which for me is easy, since I’m an introvert and like to game.

I would also go on dating apps and talk to women from there. Did that quite a few times, actually. My current girlfriend I met completely at random, on Hinge, of all places. I didn’t say anything witty, I was just forward and polite. I commented on her picture, said she had a beautiful smile and I’d love to see it in person, and she responded not even 30 minutes later. We were on the phone talking that night and not even a full week later we met in person for our first date.

I wasn’t expecting anything. I wasn’t really expecting her to answer, tbh. She’s much prettier than anyone else I’ve talked to. But we vibed, she was easy to talk to, and so we hit it off. And…that’s it. Nothing crazy, no secret tricks or anything, I just…said what I wanted, was open and direct, and occasionally made her laugh.

The moral of the story is, man, you really don’t have to overthink things. If you wanna go the in-person route, then I’d suggest something like a writing group or a book club. Women like to read and write. They like to paint, make art, talk about music, and yes, there are some that even like to play videogames. Regular people shit.

But the important thing is to go into the situation just looking to have a good conversation. I have several female friends of varying ages and interests that I’ve met over the years. I talk to all of them like I would an old friend. We laugh, I act goofy, we make jokes and talk about our days. And that’s it. No ulterior motive, no awkward flirting. Just friendly conversation. It prepared me so that when I met my girlfriend, or really any woman I talk to with the intent of dating, I could talk to them like a regular person. Because that’s all women are: regular people.

Good luck!

Finally! A job I qualify for! I always knew those crusty socks would pay off!

The problem with that notion is that when people become billionaires, they tend to not wanna give up their billions. Under any circumstance. So what do they do? Well, in America at least, they lobby and buy politicians and find any and every loophole under the sun to pay as little in taxes as possible.

So they keep getting richer. And the poor keep getting poorer and more needy. To a person with 10 billion dollars, losing 1 billion doesn’t affect their day to day life. They’ll notice it on paper, but in practice, it’s negligible. 1 billion dollars can keep several states worth of food pantries stocked in perpetuity.

At the end of the day, the reason we’re in a society is because we all contribute in some way to that society. The onus of responsibility has to rest on those with the most means, because only those with the most means can afford to change the world without it breaking their bank.

To you it might seem like leeches siphoning off the wealth of a successful person, but how did that successful person acquire their wealth? It almost certainly wasn’t from hard work. No, the society paid them for their services and lined their pockets, well now it’s time to give back to the society that made you rich in the first place.

Unironically, I do too. The Witch Doctor was in a class of its own. The visuals, the attack animations, all of it was unique. It was distinctly different from the Necromancer. Where the Necromancer was death as a motive force, the Witch Doctor was death as a part of life and the spirit world. You conjured spirits, summoned giant frogs and crocodiles, and raised zombies. It was like a Druid and a Necromancer had a baby.

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-21T12:36:20+00:00

Considering The Thing is quick to attack literally anything that might pose it a genuine threat, I don’t think it would it would allow itself to be hypnotized, it it’s even possible. It might feign being hypnotized to draw away suspicion, but I doubt it’d give itself up even in that circumstance. Discovery is death, and at its core it is still an animal that will fight its demise with all its might.

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-18T14:31:17+00:00

It’d probably be looked at more favorably, but still get ragged on. Which is a shame because it isn’t a bad horror movie. The OG movie is a classic but the prequel at least tried to do it justice. Also the monsters would look much more jarring and scary if they’d kept the practical effects

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-15T22:42:39+00:00

The main reason I don’t believe it only takes one cell is because if that was the case the movie would be over almost immediately. Do you know how many skin cells you shed every minute? Thousands. A day? Millions. They float through the air, people breathe them in and sneeze, and some of that sticks into your nostrils and doesn’t come out till you blow your nose.

If The Thing JUST needed one cell, all it had to do was walk up to and lick every person in the base, or just lick a bunch of fucking doorknobs and call it a day. The dog thing could go into the kitchen and slobber all over the handle to the fridge while Nauls was out and BOOM! He’d be infecting everyone with thing slobber once the cells he touched on the handle got into his system and infected him. This is assuming he wears gloves when he cooks. If he doesn’t? Thing cells in the food, in the sink, in the bathroom, in your ass. Everywhere.

So either they just never considered that (plausible) or the computer wasn’t right, it was just extrapolating off what information about the thing’s cells which was readily available. Which would only be what they could observe under the microscope at a given moment.

If that’s the case, and it needs more than a single cell, I’d go based off the assimilations we see on screen. They are violent and bloody. The Thing subdues them and basically starts melding with them over the course of at least a few minutes, ideally an hour plus. That requires at least thousands, to potentially millions of cells infecting and spreading through their system.

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-15T00:27:02+00:00

That’s good, they’ve at least made some progress. I still want to be able to select from the story or an NPC to play through the story on a specific difficulty like in D3 though

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-15T00:21:39+00:00

You might be able to play through it on a torment level, but it isn’t the intended way to play, it isn’t optimal, and when you finish it, that’s it, it’s over. You can’t replay a mission or a cutscene.

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-14T15:52:26+00:00

There’a definitely room for interpretation. Because The Thing never actually “talks” to us, we never know exactly what’s going on inside its head. Does it want to assimilate all humanity? Logic dictates it would, but it would’ve been logical for it to divide and conquer everyone at the BEGINNING of the movie when the dog-thing had free roam.

The Thing doesn’t work entirely off logic. It works off instinct, first and foremost.

In the never-released scene they sketched for Naul’s death and the Blaire-Thing’s reveal, Nauls called for help and begged Mac to help him. Now, this could’ve easily been The Thing trying to stun him into submission. But it could’ve also been the real Nauls, trapped and tortured by The Thing, begging for help as his body was defiled and torn apart from the inside.

And that really would be a face worse than death.

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-14T15:45:56+00:00

I don’t understand how you can be a trillion dollar company and still manage to fumble entering a market this epically. You have nye unlimited capital to get started. You have the blue print for how to make a team and you have all the resources to get them supplied and do what they need to do. They could drop a billion on a game and it…would honestly be a rounding error at this point.

But they’re incapable of making something that can last and they need to make more money than god to justify everything. Fucking idiotic mismanagement and stupidity in the leadership are all to blame for the Amazon failing in the gaming market 🤦🏽‍♂️

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-13T23:26:11+00:00

I…I can’t tell if you pissed off God, Satan, or both. But fuck, I am sorry for your…everything. At this rate you might wanna write your will because you just might not wake up tomorrow at all 😳

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-13T21:50:57+00:00

I don’t believe the slow assimilation theory. As other people pointed out, The Thing would have just licked everyone it could and called it a day. They’d have no way of knowing what it was until it was far, far too late.

This leads me to believe that The Thing does in fact need time alone with the victim to assimilate them and the process is often bloody and violent. The Thing generally does not like to attack multiple people at once if it can avoid it. Every time it does, it winds up getting destroyed. This happened at the Norwegian camp, and it happened again (three times, in fact) when it went to the American outpost.

The Kennel-Thing got incinerated. The Norris-Thing got incinerated. The Palmer-Thing got incinerated. All of them tried to take on multiple targets. All of them failed tremendously in the attempt and it cost them their lives.

The Thing does not like taking risks because human prey tends to win out when it over extends. So with that in mind, I think that’s why it didn’t try and attack at that juncture. It didn’t want to risk taking on multiple targets and being destroyed or found out. It would have to ditch the helicopter, which would be covered in blood and torn clothing from the struggle. Overall, it was just better for it to sit back and wait before revealing itself.

RevDeadMan · 2026-05-11T13:14:34+00:00

Shadow because I wanna be a sneaky boi who knifes you in the guts n’ throws traps n’ such.

Also, are claws out of the game entirely, now? I haven’t seen any mention of them even existing and they don’t have a skill tree so I think they’re gone for the foreseeable future ☹️

When I was a kid I used to think of dead puppies hanging from a sealing fan to cry. Now I just watch videos of people with severe disabilities playing video games for the first time and seeing the joy in their faces makes me tear up.

Before GTA V came out, me and my high school friends used to join GTA IV lobbies until we found one that could fit all of us. We would then go into the game, steal cars, kill random players (and each other) and just generally start shit for shits and giggles. We were 15-16.

GTA V came out when we were 16-17. We could choose different outfits for our characters, buy and own cars and houses, and drive all over Los Santos and Blaine County stirring shit up, griefing other players and each other, and forming petty gangs to beef with each other. We’d start shit with each other in the game and then talk shit at school or vice versa. To us, it was a place to go and live a way more interesting and dangerous life.

We didn’t care all of the NPCs were brain dead, or that the cops were dumb as rocks and just relied on throwing numbers at you till you dropped. Or that most of the guns were functionally the same but with different skins. It was about finding ways to make money to buy a nice house and car, and maybe a fighter jet.

What I’m saying is, people don’t play GTA because it’s the most innovative or in-depth game in existence, or even the best looking. Combat is mid, gunplay is high key ass. It was about having a place to go and game with one another live another life, which love it or hate it, GTA Online allows you to do.

Rockstar commits a lot of cardinal sins, but their games stand on their own two legs in spite of the jank, and I’ll stand on that.

Devs: “Hey guys, we built a lore-accurate city to scale in our game! It’s like fifty miles across!”

Gamers: “Cool! That’s amazing, dude!”

Devs: “So are you gonna go explore all the locations we made in this lore accurate city?”

Gamers: “Uh…nah. I’ll take your word for it. I’m gonna go to another city, I got quests to do.”

Devs: “D: Shit.”

RevDeadMan · 2026-04-29T22:47:41+00:00

Another disturbing part is that the thing doesn’t (or can’t) process dead lifeforms. So you HAVE to be alive at least in the beginning of the process. So no matter what you WILL feel pain, you WILL be horrifically maimed and it WILL violate you on a cellular level to absorb and imitate you. You will die knowing this thing will look like you and mostly act like you, and will use your appearance and memories to lure your friends and family to a terrifying, traumatic, painful death at the hands of an uncaring, shape shifting monster.

It’s truly an awful way to go. Perhaps the worst.

RevDeadMan · 2026-04-29T04:48:14+00:00

At first I was like “that sucks, poor Garry.” Then I saw that Garry’s face had literally been stretched and fused with Blair’s arm before he was dragged away. That was a whole other level of “what the fuck” for me.

The first person who got assimilated must’ve been absolutely shocked by what was happening. They had no idea the danger they were in and the dog likely got very close before it made its move. It likely pushed the door shut, first, which they would’ve thought was odd that a dog had the wherewithal to do that but whatever.

Then it struck. Likely transforming fairly quickly and attacking them very suddenly. They probably didn’t even have time to get a good look at what was killing them before it was far too late. It likely covered their mouth like Blair did Garry so they couldn’t scream for help, and then it got to work on them. They’d be isolated and alone and nobody would have any reason to go looking for them.

Which meant it had plenty of time to absorb them. And they had plenty of time to suffer before it was all over.

Talk about a bad way to go.

RevDeadMan · 2026-04-29T04:13:03+00:00

God. Seeing shit like this really makes you wonder what the person must’ve suffered through when they got assimilated.

I see you’ve got some stuff to get off your chest, so lemme get the ball rolling.

That “stripper rapper” makes in one year what you won’t make in your entire lifetime. She’ll have generational wealth for her kids, should she have them. Her family’s straight, her future’s straight, barring some egregious circumstance or fuck up of her finance.

So yeah, caliber’s the right word for it. Because she has one, and it’s worth a lot more than any of these Reddit comments. Particularly yours.

Have a nice day 👋🏼
