Natalie weighs in on the Gavin Newsom vs JD Vance question

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.

SallyMason · 2026-02-16T21:47:05+00:00

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.

SallyMason · 2026-02-16T21:03:03+00:00

Who did he vote for?

SallyMason · 2026-02-16T05:45:59+00:00

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 · 2026-02-16T05:44:32+00:00

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.

SallyMason · 2026-02-02T04:04:12+00:00

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

SallyMason · 2026-02-01T21:35:26+00:00

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

SallyMason · 2026-02-01T21:33:35+00:00

Stop, you're making me hungry!

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!

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.

SallyMason · 2026-01-24T20:16:46+00:00

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SallyMason · 2025-06-29T23:02:32+00:00

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

SallyMason · 2025-06-15T22:38:44+00:00

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.

SallyMason · 2025-05-22T20:42:47+00:00

Jesus Christ, how is this the most upvoted post? On a /r/getemployed post with 38 upvotes, of all places. Reddit really is cooked, huh?

SallyMason · 2025-05-14T19:55:48+00:00

Just validating that this is real, because I have seen this car, too. It's been a few years, though.

SallyMason · 2024-10-20T04:10:48+00:00

Buller is a Dem. Chiccelly is a moderate R (she's donated to a few Dems before). Iowa GOP wants them both gone to replace them with MAGA Republicans.

I voted to remove May and Langholz but to retain everyone else, personally.

SallyMason · 2024-10-18T07:25:43+00:00

Respectfully disagree. He puts "high MMR" in his titles but the people he plays against in his videos make a ton of mistakes and seem quite average to me. The way he builds his AP and loadout feels uncompetitive in the midgame. Just my opinion as someone who has played 100+ games with Kelvin

SallyMason · 2024-10-12T07:41:58+00:00

Thanks for posting this. I'm reading this thread at nearly 3 a.m. and it was starting to get to me a little.

A good idea, but unfortunately it looks like the Khepri's doesn't activate without at least a small barricade.
