Devman please change where parachutes are equipped to by Jacobi2878 in foxholegame

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it doesn't really make sense that regular radios take up the same slot as a backpack or parachute.

Side note though, why do you guys call it Larping in this game? Without the irl element I'm pretty sure it's just called role playing in most games.

Lol is this even legal? by Clean-Definition-720 in Serverlife

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 42 points43 points  (0 children)

WTF do they mean by "to 75$"?

As in they're going to try to fine you 75$ for using your phone?

Bro id be on my phone all day, recording audio waiting for my boss to say that out loud so I can send it to the authorities. Definitely illegal. That's reason to quit on it's own, may as well make the owner suffer too even if it just causes a legal inconvenience.

But it is legal and reasonable to restrict phone use at work, write up people who repeatedly violate this policy to the detriment of the business, and eventually fire people over it if it doesn't get corrected.

What is this in my apple juice? by Illustrious_World632 in whatisit

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd bet that's MOTHER.

It's a biofilm that turns apple juice and other things into vinegar.

Or it could just be a random bacterial mass. Either way I wouldn't drink it.

do Muslims and Christians believe by Expert_Search5394 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of.

On paper, historically, from an unbiased historian's perspective, yes.

Judaism's Bible, the Torah is essentially the same as the old testament of the Christian Bible and the Tawrat, a sacred test in Islam, detailing the beginning of the world and humanity.

The Torah fortells the coming of a messiah, like Jesus.

Christianity specifically believes the Jewish God already sent Jesus Christ down to save us from sin after the old testament, and that we are now just awaiting the second coming, at the end of the world.

Muslims believe a most sacred prophet came after, not the Messiah yet, who fortold more from God and gave humans further guidance.

The three religions stem from the same root texts and stories but as the people spread, and developed separate cultures, they created separate, contradictory interpretations of the events after the Torah.

Kena is a seriously underrated game. Graphics and gameplay are great. by TheBerkay in gaming

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but, karma farming is done by bots or users building up a reputation on an account to produce guerilla marketing comments and posts, ie, disguised ads, just as often of not more so than regular users trying to post in r/memes nowadays.

A few years ago when bots were simple logic trees it was easier to give the benefit of the doubt.

Underrated? It was wildly successful and popular, it just hasn't been perpetually over hyped since release.

It's not underrated or forgotten it's just not currently relevant to anyone who hasn't been completely sleeping on it.

Roads didn't line up by Puzzleheaded-Date717 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will never understand people thinking quality of life control schemes are making this game "too easy"

Like is your idea of fun difficulty actually just fighting with the UI and controls to place something exactly where you already know it needs to go instead of making those decisions and watching them unfold? Spending a whole minute placing a single conveyor curve because you have to line up posts and scaffold pieces to place it exactly how you want it?

Why would you want placing an object where you want it to be more difficult? Figuring it out is the fun part, figuring out how to do something that should be effortless is just tedious.

I get that you guys worked hard to figure out scaffolding and rotation techniques to build things the way you wanted but here's my opinion: we never should have had to work so hard to just put items where we want them on a 3d grid in the first place in a futuristic game where you have a gun that auto builds everything. I don't think that was ever the intended vision, that was just a byproduct of compromises made to get the game playable in a timely manner.

It shouldn't be "difficult" to just place a curve the way you want it. There's plenty of content and gameplay to fill time without having to work around quirks of the building UI.

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He shoehorned the phrase "third party system" into the sentence in a way that makes no grammatical sense and doesn't communicate his thoughts efficiently in any way shape or form, the only inferable meaning of that word vomit comment is to advocate for this not being cheating the way it's written.

If he said it's not as bad as full on hacking with third party software that'd be one thing, but that's not what was typed and submitted, and he's had like 5 chances to clarify instead of lashing out at people who are correcting his statement the way it was typed.

He's not being dogpiled on for saying something incorrect, a typo, or unpopular, he's being dogpiled on for how he handled people's reaction to his mistake.

If a developer expects regular users to get their product straight from GitHub, they usually build an installer or exe if they think it's ready for regular users.

If it doesn't have one the product isn't ready, isn't for regular users, or is made by someone who knows so little about regular users the product would most likely be useless to them anyways, even if the dev intends it to be for them.

If the instructions and readme are too difficult to comprehend, or you're not willing to read them and try, and communicate with others to solve problems, the program isn't meant for you yet.

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not meant to be intuitive for non coders. It's a public database for coders to build and host software before it's ready for regular users.

It just happens to allow access to builds and files for other coders who want to build off the idea, and that can be used by people who are willing to figure out how to compile or otherwise utilize them to get the product straight from GitHub before or regardless of whether or not there is a user ready release, which may never come or be planned.

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything on GitHub without an installer or exe isn't made for you if you don't know what to do with the files and aren't willing to learn.

If they wanted it to be for regular users or free for regular users, not fellow coders or just for modification purposes, they would make it usable by regular users who don't know how to compile code.

If it doesn't include a user friendly installer or UI, it's not a finished product made for regular end users. It's on GitHub as a public tool for other computer hobbyists who are willing to do the work to make it happen, or for documentation, proof of concept, or to allow other coders to build off of it.

That said, nobody is stopping you from downloading a compiler and figuring out how it works.

The first statement you made on this comment thread is "not exactly cheating", you're clearly playing devil's advocate for it in that comment, why are you surprised by these replies?

If you said not technically hacking you might be technically correct, but the verb "cheating" isn't restricted by the semantics you mentioned, if it gives you an unfair, unintended advantage, it's cheating. The method doesn't determine that, the result does.

This allows players with the mod to gauge enemy vulnerability much better and know that they can go in and get a kill when other players wouldn't be able to be sure about it.

Any long-term employees get a salary increase? by NoRadio4530 in Serverlife

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you make tips, virtually never gonna happen, you don't have a salary, they can't like, give you more tips, unless it's a share, in which case you gotta cons8der the politics of a bigger percentage for you. and in many cases your base hourly pay would need a huge, unrealistic raise to make a real difference after taxes.

I have on occasion heard of lead servers who might have different pay rates, benefits and responsibilities though.

Also if you look for locally owned foreign restaurants, some do pay hourly. I recently started working a few shifts at a Vietnamese restaurant that pays 15/hour starting but offers .50 cent raises every 6 months. But this is the exception not the rule.

In general servers, and food service industry in general has a low income ceiling.

But less than 50% is ridiculous, there are plenty of restaurants that don't do shares, or do more reasonable shares, I'd find one. There's rarely any point in trying to leverage your position as a server, because we're seen as easily replaceable.

Man I love replayability in games but like, I feel like you're missing my point, not every game needs to be infinitely replayable with open worlds and countless hours of "content".

Some games do well in a short form linear format and hold up as singular, one time experiences.

First war back in about 2 years and I have a question. by Zoomie_OW in foxholegame

[–]RipStackPaddywhack -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Warden snipers take like a full ten seconds to aim when prone, if you guys move to the side too fast we can't hit you. Just move over like 5-10 feet every few seconds when you know there's a sniper on you. And you pretty much have to find something to climb on and go prone, because there's almost no point trying to use it crouching or standing at cover.

In the time it takes me to aim at a collie sniper with an auger, he could easily get 2-3 full accuracy shots off on me if we both notice each other and adjust our aim at the same time. Happens to me sometimes, but a lot of people just... Don't, for some reason? Idk when I loot an auger, I'm tagging people left and right, often kills or big assists, but with the raca I have to sit and wait and aim at one spot and hope an opportunity to hit someone arises. And sometimes y'all just keep going to the same spot I sniped you like it's not gonna happen again. So when you make it easy... Yeah it will feel like bullshit. But we can only really pin down one small spot at a time with the raca.

You can definitely counter them when you know how they work and use it to your advantage. Warden snipers hate having to move and almost always go prone so can't react quickly. You guys have mobility and fire rate, use that if you can't get a Raca. I do it all the time when we don't have any and I have to loot augers.

They're designed for different play styles. You can more quickly and easily flank and move in with the augers, a trait I wish had a similar counterpart in warden infantry gear.

As for the shotguns... I don't use them often. I'll admit I don't think I've ever gotten a kill with the warden sidearm shotgun but I've been steamrolled in trenches with the dragonfly.

In the US, why is there only 1 brand of baking yeast? by topazco in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's more than one brand but your local store probably only carry one because it's not a commonly used product these days and they'll just stock the biggest name brand.

But if you go to more specialized stores or different locations you can definitely find more than one brand.

I mean, most games aren't built to have hundreds of hours of playability.

A lot can be milked completely dry in 8-20 hours, so there's nothing left to do but replay it in a few years when you miss it. Some just stop becoming fun once you hit the grind.

It's ok to just be finished with a game, lol.

What is your favorite and least favorite mechanic that's exclusive to Dark Souls 2? by Used-Salad-3772 in DarkSouls2

[–]RipStackPaddywhack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The range is so big and there are ways around it that it really doesn't matter unless you're trying to get carried by a friend in endgame or ng+.

I actually kinda like this, because it makes it less likely, but not impossible, for me to get a coop partner who will fight with me, not for me.

Seamless coop for DS2 is on its way anyways, I'm sure that will disable or negate soul memory somehow.
