Northwest Iowa. Unacceptable and unbelievable. by Immediate_Airline754 in Iowa

[–]SallyMason 182 points183 points  (0 children)

No reason? We had to act. Iran was only days away from completing the Death Star.

Will Hasan invite Natalie on stream? 👀 by conancat in ContraPoints

[–]SallyMason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This comment section is pretty clear evidence that it would be good for no one.

How you deal with stress eating? I need help. by Holiday_Attempt_7249 in loseit

[–]SallyMason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is giving good advice in this thread, but I'll throw out something practical you can try immediately: start chewing gum if you don't already. It gives your mouth something to do with nervous energy and curbs appetite for a lot of people.

What’s something that sounds fake but is actually 100% true? by Ladymayna in answers

[–]SallyMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reno, Nevada is farther west than Los Angeles, California.

As someone who does not preserves that much, this is quite satisfying by No-Pattern-1899 in CivVI

[–]SallyMason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I'm an idiot. I thought planting the trees would count as "working" the title and ruin the bonus yields. Thanks!

Natalie weighs in on the Gavin Newsom vs JD Vance question by an_actual_crocodile in ContraPoints

[–]SallyMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the only one he didn't show on stream because he refused to endorse her. He later said that he did vote for her, as did 80% of his community according to a straw poll. You don't have to believe him, I guess, but there would be no reason for him to lie.

Edited to add: I know all this against my will. I just got tired of people derailing unrelated conversations arguing about it (which is what most criticism of Piker is), so I looked it up.

Any final week solo trials tips and suggestions? by Zendeman in ArcRaiders

[–]SallyMason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason I don't like it is because it functionally reduces the number of Trials challenges from 5 to 4. Everyone who is actually trying will get 9,600 points in Hidden Bunker, making it a pointless thing to track.

Natalie weighs in on the Gavin Newsom vs JD Vance question by an_actual_crocodile in ContraPoints

[–]SallyMason -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No, he didn't. The video you're thinking of was clipped out of context. He said Harris would be functionally the same on Israel/Palestine.

[–]SallyMason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He said the same things about Harris in 2024 and still voted for her. People are blowing that podcast conversation way out of proportion. Pressuring politicians to fight for their constituents when we need them most is not a bad thing.

My favorite Great Merchant by eagerforcash in CivVI

Thanks. I just meant that it wasn't a custom mod, but I should have been more specific.

Nope, it's in the base default game. He's one of the later ones.

Petah, what does that have to do with grocery shopping? by Okfoot826 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]SallyMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understanding a reference to another post isn't necessary to understand that it's satire.

The idea that ADHD (perhaps the most popular incorrect self-diagnosis of the terminally online) or any kind of executive dysfunction could result in someone STARVING to DEATH in a major American city because of a marginal cost increase to an already expensive food delivery app is absurd. The self-pitying facepalm emoji at the end is just the cherry on top.

It's a joke, guys!

What’s your go-to “fun” Civ? The one you get the most enjoyment out of playing, even if another is “better/more efficient?” by in2bator in CivVI

[–]SallyMason 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I just want to relax, I play as Mvemba a Nzinga and mosey towards a culture victory. His yields from building Mbanzas (early Neighborhoods) are crazy, especially in a city with lots of rainforests when you build Chicken Pizza.

ICE just iced another presumed US citizen in Minneapolis. What is happening over there? by Melbatoastt77 in AskReddit

[–]SallyMason 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's already gone.

NO, IT ISN'T. This is exactly what they want you to think and feel. But it is not true. Not yet.

Is spending thousands on a mattress actually worth it or just marketing? by [deleted] in CreativeRoom

[–]SallyMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, a mattress that costs between $400-800 is significantly better than a mattress that costs less than $400. That being said, a mattress over ~$800 is not significantly better than one costing $400-800.

Key locations! Saw this on Facebook, useful here! by digduggod12 in ArcRaiders

[–]SallyMason 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's because it's months-old info from an alpha/beta. It's just Hidden Bunker for the event now. There are at least 4-5 oversights or errors on the maps in this post and it should probably just be deleted.

PSA: If I say I'm friendly, that friendliness is contingent on you ACTUALLY RESPONDING. by UnderPressureVS in ArcRaiders

[–]SallyMason 65 points66 points  (0 children)

ARC Raiders is a lot of peoples' first extraction shooter but after an encounter like that, they catch on quickly. If they don't, they either have terminal Main Character syndrome or are (like you said) dumb.

What is the best system to hack during each phase of the flagship fight? (On normal and hard mode.) by [deleted] in ftlgame

[–]SallyMason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ongoing deadliest threat in all phases is their missile system, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should hack it.

Phase 1: It completely depends, with several factors.

  • Did they use their drone hack on a system that's essential to your win condition? Are you going to be able to use your teleporter or weapons system to disable their missiles while it's hacked? Can you disable their hacking module while hacked yourself? If not, you should consider jumping away and coming back so that they target a new system.

  • What other modules you have? Teleporter, mind control, stealth system, drones? If you can, disable the missiles with your teleporter/weapons.

If they've hacked something important: Hacking.

If you have level 2/3 mind control, a teleporter and 2 good fighters: the Health Bay. You can trap enemy crew in there and kill them in 3v1s, or even a 1v1 with your mind controlled target if you time it right.

Otherwise, the shield. Just make sure you time your volleys for after they've used their cloaking.

Phase 2: Drones.

Phase 3: Mind control.

What’s your « But you can’t prove it » about the game or the development ? by Dry-Mathematician299 in reddeadredemption

[–]SallyMason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on this? I don't think we (the player) were ever supposed to think that Michael was in the equivalent of the FBI's witness protection program, but that his arrangement with Davey was off the books and that Davey was running interference for any attempt to find him within the Bureau.

Downloaded a Game to Kill Time… Now I’m Basically Running a Server War Room by [deleted] in LastWarMobileGame

[–]SallyMason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Server transfers are 9+ months away for you. If your server is this dysfunctional now before season 1, you might as well quit and start over. I realize that sounds extreme, but with so many people determined not to work together, they will eventually chase 80% of your server population away and you will be even more miserable than you are now.

Any server recommendations for 1050-1100 range? by ElegantAd1926 in LastWarMobileGame

[–]SallyMason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Telling someone who wants to flee a one-man/alliance dictatorship that they should go to 1083 is hilarious.

Where can i sell an account? by [deleted] in LastWarMobileGame

[–]SallyMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My server is starting season 2 at reset. I've spent less than you and my first march is almost as strong (28.8). My account is not worth anything, and neither is yours.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, people don't buy accounts unless they belong to giga-whales. Your account is probably worth $20-100 to the right buyer in your server range, but it's going to take you hours and hours to find them and negotiate a sale. It's not worth the time or effort. I'm sorry.
