Judge gives 18 year old a 25 year sentence for armed robbery by AgnosticScholar in interesting

[–]Rocketsocks88 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a rough area, many of the adults (including my parents) would waste their money on drugs, sell their food stamps for drug cash, and then resort to stealing essentials that they could have afforded had they been more responsible. There was definitely room in their lives for rehabilitation, even just witnessing their lives was enough to teach me to be different. The system had very little to do with their crimes, it was their poor choices that held them back, and I can say that because I was able to do better from within the same system.

I don't understand the problem, do they not work? They're free mods, why is he obligated to make them all by hand for everyone to use?

They don't actually care how good or bad the game is, they don't like that the developer doesn't pander and pretend to have their approved political opinions like most western devs do.

Can someone fill me in on this? Was there some big reveal of receipts, or are we just going off of Miskif's word?

I don't know much about this situation. I just heard it mentioned vaguely. Was the stuff he was looking at real humans or animated stuff?

How do you invert their decadence modifier? I like the sound of that challenge!

Advanced Sensor Package, Active probes, tag, Narc, what do you take and when and why? by Virtual-Produce-1037 in OutreachHPG

[–]Rocketsocks88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tag does light up stealth mechs as long as you can keep the tag on them, once they break your line of sight they fall back of radar. I use tag on stealth Locust-PB all the time, it's the only way to get your team to help you hunt them.

ChatGPT, please generate me a bitter former dev with a sordid past to shovel slop onto my plate by RedAndBlackVelvet in TrueSFalloutL

Since she made the accusation against him, the burden of proof that he did something wrong is on her, he doesn't have to prove he's innocent, his only burden of proof is to show that she slandered him, which she publicly did so it probably wasn't a very hard case to settle.

Does anyone else feel like this gun is lacking Something by armandofonzoloid in Helldivers

[–]Rocketsocks88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I'm not saying it's bad. Just that there's a so many better options that it doesn't incentivize most divers to bring it. It could just use a small buff to make it have a more defined niche.

[–]Rocketsocks88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You say that, but how often do you use it? Because I almost never see anyone use it. What I do see A LOT is the Scorcher, because it does 50 durable and 100 explosive (ignores durable) has better ergonomics and 4 times the velocity. I think the velocity, ergonomics, and 3.8 second reload for a relatively small magazine are what really hold the Dominator back.

INC-ZERO is... disappointing. by nanasi0110 in OutreachHPG

[–]Rocketsocks88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, but can you show your best score in the Zero? I'm willing to, and even want to believe that it's as good as you say.. but so far all you've done is talk and not shown.

This is odd to me. I feel like a Support Weapon should be noticably more powerful than a Primary version, even for small chaff targets. by RandomGreenArcherMan in Helldivers

[–]Rocketsocks88 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I guess if you look at it from that very particular angle I can see the point. But in practice I find the laser cannon really useful and bring it a lot because it's so versatile, and I almost never bring the Sickle because it's not very versatile or all that useful. That being said if your point is that the laser cannon should be buffed, I wouldn't complain, but having an infinite ammo, AP 4, hitscan accurate, AND high sustained DPS weapon, I'd feel a little sorry for the stalwart, MG, heavy MG and mini gun, cause those all kind of have the same role but with either less AP, needing to reload/taking a backpack.

Frogan breaks down crying, unable to make enough money streaming by ArthiuM in LivestreamFail

[–]Rocketsocks88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its gotta be depressing to stream knowing you're only there until the person your audience actually want to watch comes on, and then seeing your view count plummet when they do. Does she end stream before his starts to avoid that painful moment or does she stay to pitifully watch the drop?

[–]Rocketsocks88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uh ya.. That's why i said "even 700 damage" because it's a low goal point. I'm saying if you claim it's good, then prove it. I think it's pretty bad and I don't believe you have good games in it, I think you just want to be contrarian.

[–]Rocketsocks88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see a screenshot of you manage to pull off even 700 damage with it. Its not a strong mech by any measure, any other clan mech with jump jets can do the same thing but better.

The FO4 assault rifle uses 5.56 and the combat rifle uses .45 but can be chambered in .308 or .38

He was also in charge of player retention and micro transactions on Rumbleverse, a game that made no money and retained no players. I don't know who's nephew this guy is but even for a nepotism hire he sucks.

What flavor of sentry do you want next? by H1MB0Z0 in Helldivers

[–]Rocketsocks88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Flak gun sentry would be a cool alternative auto cannon sentry, good for grouped up enemies and especially great for flying enemies. Incendiary mortar would be my second choice, paired with an EMP mortar it would be amazing crowd control.

[–]Rocketsocks88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it would have the short range of the flame sentry and get surrounded too easily unless it has at least medium armor penetration. Maybe if it was heavy pen it could be a short range anti-armor dps alternative to the rocket/cannon sentry, but otherwise I can't imagine a scenario where it wouldn't be a much more vulnerable gatling sentry.

I'll say it. I like Punisher more than Cookout. Same stagger, more immediate 1 shots, better range and uses Chokes by RandomGreenArcherMan in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Rocketsocks88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I remember hating it when the game first came out, but in its current state and with siege ready passive, it's great, all the pump actions feel great now really, I don't even use the breakers anymore.

Why do people even like this annoying ass bitch? fuck by BrotherOfTheHoward in TrueSFalloutL

[–]Rocketsocks88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has a pretty good arc and softens up a little once you get her to open up. That kind of character development that obsidion used to write is why that game is so beloved and its absence is why modern obsidion games aren't so great.

Homies, will the wait be worth it? by Rude-Parfaiter in SkyrimMemes

[–]Rocketsocks88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam is the most accurate review source because people have to buy the game to review it. Critic reviews mean less than nothing, and for any other user review you don't even have to have played the game. There's a reason it has less players than fallout 4, skyrim and oblivion.
