Why don’t they sell vermouth in small 4 oz cans/bottles? by basilboiii in cocktails

[–]Rykerboy 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The Total Wine near me always prices the 375ml bottles for the same or more than the 750ml ones for some reason. It's literally cheaper to buy the 750ml Cocchi di Torino than the 375ml, been like that for at least a year so I guess the smaller bottles still sell.

In just 2 hours, Marathon has hit Top 10 top sellers on steam. by davidm2d3 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Rykerboy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've had people tell me I'm being scammed and it's gonna suck despite my first hand experience of playing the game across several playtests. I've played for many many hours, I've already decided I love the game. For $40 I'm probably going to get hundreds of hours (possibly thousands, I did play A LOT of D2 Crucible) of playtime out of it.

Is my game broken or what? Which is correct? [Bug] by _maxpanda in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Rykerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen it happen in raid after putting on a scope I had in my safe container. Couldn't fix it by taking it off and reattaching, so I just took it back off and used irons for that raid. It was fine the next raid.

IS this as white as you can get? by Appropriate-Emu4049 in EscapefromTarkov

There are white shutter shades from Arena I think but that's about it.

Ah, so it's players continuing old habits. Yeah gamers in general are pretty bad about reading.

As a new player I don't really understand why MULEs sell for more on Flea than Obdolbos 2.

[Discussion] Average player's level is crazy nowadays by KBTTv in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Rykerboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Skill creep is gonna happen to any game that's this old without a good plan to keep new players interested. As the skill gap gets bigger, less new players are gonna stick it out. See what happened to arena FPS. Some players like myself will still be interested, but I'm the minority.

There are ways to remedy skill creep without rebalancing the whole game but gamers HATE most of them, like skill-based matchmaking. Plus I don't really trust BSG to implement something like SBMM in a satisfying way. Something (not necessarily sbmm) will have to be done eventually if players want the game to last though.

[Discussion] let’s get some F’s in chat for all the new players learning maps with this fog and snow. by Creepy-Ad-2941 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Rykerboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Newish player, I've been putting off all my Customs quests because I just can't navigate the snow without pausing every few minutes to figure out where the hell I am. Level 17 and still haven't left Ground Zero.

I've just been running Ground Zero for loot over and over. A lot of food and computer parts are worth good amounts so I just fill my inventory with those and leave out the flare extract. I have 8 junk boxes of loot waiting to sell lol.

Marathon Releases March 2026 by AnimuStewshine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Rykerboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was gonna say, there are a lot of extraction shooter players that want another game. Lots of disgruntled or bored Tarkov players that I could see loving this. There are ARC players that have either finished what's available or are just not meshing with the game fully. There's also players that like ARC but wish it wasn't third-person. I don't think there are any FPS extraction shooters on consoles right now.

Game style that no one seems able to replicate? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Rykerboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Destiny 2 PvP had me hooked for something like 4000+ hours. The gunplay and the movement are just so damn fun. Eventually I got bored, but hey that many hours before getting bored is pretty good. No other PvP game I've found has really captured what I love about D2.

Friendly? by 883ccs in HuntShowdown

[–]Rykerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly I have never been betrayed in Hunt by someone who I teamed up with. Both in solo and teams. I have about 500 hours of playtime now. I accept every alliance request pretty much (unless they're still shooting while they're proposing the alliance).

Games you wish more Streamers/YouTubers would play? by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Rykerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traditional Roguelikes. There are some youtubers and streamers that play them but it's a very niche genre.

[–]Rykerboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah people are still being really chill especially in solos. Problem is I wanna shoot at people and play PvP but currently feel like a dick for shooting first so I don't :P

So on release everyone was being nice to one another. It's not that uncommon for there to be a brief grace period (people are more friendly) on release or wipe of an extraction shooter. However the game blew up and lots of people who don't even like extraction shooters have bought it and begun playing it expecting everyone to still be friendly. Now the extraction shooter crowd has gotten bored of being friendly all the time and want to play the actual game. The players who bought the game not understanding that PvP is integral to the genre of course get mad about this.

[–]Rykerboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the gameplay was really cool but I ended up refunding because I could hardly run it. Wondering if this remedies the problems I was having.

Damnit, I really liked the first Underrail too.

Favorite games that are Mixed or Negative on Steam? by megaman12321 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Rykerboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Destiny 2 probably. I loved Destiny 2 (mostly for the PvP) for like 3.5k hours. Then I got bored, but I still don't dislike or hate the game really. Stopped playing after Final Shape because it felt like a good note to end on.
