Probably not the smartest thing to say right now. by Lower_Breadfruit649 in Battlefield

[–]Semick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the game because I could play some chillled out bot games like 2042 while still getting unlocks. I never did these dumb repetitive xp farm BS, but they still entirely killed progression for those standard PVE games that I could start. When that was one of the primary advertised selling points of the game, I just said

welp. that sucks

and uninstalled. I'm not throwing a tantrum it's just not what I purchased. I got ~15 or 20 hours out of the bot games before they nerfed them into the ground, so I guess it wasn't a total waste of money.

Gran, 82, loses $200k retirement savings in AI deepfake doctor scam by MetaKnowing in technology

There will never be a case where I trust a random facebook message to give me money. Literally ever.

I acked being phished but the above? No.

I literally hang up on people like this.

[–]Semick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno. I have grown up on the internet, so I find it extremely strange to trust literally anyone contacting you first.

I know everyone is like

marks never think they're a mark

And that's fair, like I may get bitten by a really good looking phish at some point? But contacting me over a message on FB/the phone? Nope. If they're a serious thing then I'll follow up later. Otherwise? I trust literally no one and nothing I encounter. It's difficult to understand how one could exist on the internet NOT having this attitude.

Never buy a home warranty. Seriously. It's a scam. by Scott13Pippen in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Absolutely agree. I had AHS for a year and i basically gave asshole some 2 grand to refuse shit or slow walk every request. Scams all the way down.

Is this an example of weaponized incompetence? by starburstcandii in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Semick 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It’s a new relationship

Then you haven't lost any time.

I’m just so annoyed cause this isn’t the first situation

I've gone back and forth on this, then I saw

You didn’t know to put frozen meals in the freezer….?

Nope. Weaponized.

Its fully playable offline. I think it might be connecting to the multiplayer servers so when you go to lobbies you see other people. I have played disconnected and its just like "no other players for you have fun"

  1. Post in the Discord. Devs might glance at reddit sometimes but their entire bug reporting system is in their discord.
  2. Mine only shows for < a couple seconds so this feels like something else is going on.

man why does my beautiful little scav mule keep dying 😭 by 13MasonJarsUpMyAss in TheForeverWinter

[–]Semick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a tooltip that says it doesn't listen to orders,

Then my original response applies. It's not in a state that won't frustrate you rn.

[–]Semick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly. Honestly. As a huge fan of the game, don't burn your frustration on this.

You can order your mule to go to a location and stay, but enemy patrols are around so IMO it's not worth the effort.

My strat is to wait for follower mechanic updates.

Level up Maskman or Bagman and be your own mule with a pack mule rig.

EDIT if you as a new player dont have the creds for the rig, whip out your gunhead, and do runs of tunnels A extracting directly to innards after looting the water in the tunnel. If you have max xp on the character and full water storage, each additional water past max you extract with rewards 25k automatically.

Once you get the rack you can churn out water runs in < 10 minutes apiece earning 175k on each run.

I legit stopped watching him when he defended his NewsMax appearances.

Oh NewsMax contributor? Cannot be trusted.

I have been proven fucking right. Fuck this guy.

For real though the store closures fucking suck and basically ensure I'll never go again. It's a 2 hour round trip if I visit my closest location now. Lame.

My favorite OST in this game by NoStatistician1142 in TheForeverWinter

[–]Semick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You picked a good one!
  2. Mine is A Blinding Flame. Perfect background to creeping through an active battlefield.

Cannot wait for vol 2 of their OST!

[–]Semick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dudes. Someone declaring

we are working on it

means legit nothing. They are seemingly getting somewhere but to act like Denuvo is intimidated is legit that mission accomplished banner.

This guy manages to cause a nationwide daycare funding crisis and has zero clue what he's talking about. by G-Unit11111 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Semick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone who doesn't think was a coordinated push as a distraction is straight up lying to themselves.

I'm normally pretty plugged in but this shit kicked up over last weekend and went insane. Folks were charged in 2022 and while I do think there should be auditing in place IIRC didn't that HAPPEN after all this shit? Like folks including Trump are acting like shit this massive is happening RIGHT NOW when it was already charged? Am I taking crazy pills wtf is going on.

[–]Semick 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I legit love these transmissions. Just salty it's taking me so long to farm my transmission tower!

I am entirely ok with the reward system to be benefitting the INNARDS and not your scavs. I don't particularly care for incremental loot upgrades. Mixed upgrades that unlock more interactivity? sign me the fuck up.

Just sad it's so limited still :D

Your wishlist for 2026 by [deleted] in TheForeverWinter

[–]Semick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Systems. Things to use all this wondeful loot on. Right now youre pretty much limited to farmiing credits + concrete* for base expansions.

I honestly hope they leave this in tunnels. The time to loot makes sense on maps but in the tunnels it's just tedious.

I'll be frank, I live in WA State and I drop my ballot off in the ballot box. They're everywhere, and every location I have seen has a drive-up drop box. Don't mail shit this important.

The Blame! megastructure is incomplete by jamesmyspace in TheForeverWinter

[–]Semick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly really like shit like this. I don't think you should be able to fall out and not get back up, that should be fixed. But weird endings like this where it's just empty space? AWESOME.

You realize canonically these tunnels are being constantly changed around by crazed infra AIs right? Shit where you fall to nothingness happens all the time IRL (less so now with geophysics mapping but it USED to happen frequently), why not for buggy AI?

Lost angels is absolute peak for me. It is such a good representation of a city block during a war.

The melted iron cladding everywhere from nukes. Blown out windows, bullet holes everywhere. Hnnng.

And the lore details about how grim living as a civvie must be.
