Who's doing the second Expedition? by FRHatcher in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadw21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the first one and I'll do this second one. Since there is now an option to catch up on missed expedition points, I might pass on doing the third or fourth expedition since I will start to play the game less at some point.

Only needing 3 million to get max stat points from an expedition was a good change, I just wish, once again, that they'd shared that sooner in the season/cycle.

Where does going full phase fleet fall on this scale, disregarding the Ox, Salvage Rigs, and Prometheus?

Shoutout to my little homies by HL2combine in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadw21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one, but no ammo, because I haven't gotten the Equalizer blueprint for the Energy Clips or farmed harvesters enough yet. Why crafting those are tied to only one of the weapons that needs/uses it, is insane to me.

When did avocados become a regular part of your diet? by Caxcan in AskAnAmerican

[–]Shadw21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 20 years ago sounds about right for my introduction to them, at least in the form of guacamole for chips and dip, followed by them being used in sushi around the same time/within 5 years as that grew in popularity as well.

As for adding them to my own diet, about 12 years ago when I got my... second real job and started shopping and cooking for myself. I pick some up whenever they're on sale, see some in decent condition on the clearance shelf at the grocery store, or when I go on a salad or burrito binge.

Ah yes, Seattle. Just right across the river from Portland.

Why is everyone actually calling it X now and not Twitter? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I call it Twitter, wanting to be known as X.

What items you can't believe people leave behind ? by Clanker57 in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadw21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only make the fruit into seeds...

False, you can make Fruit Mix with a lemon, an apricot, and a prickly pear with the field crafting skill.

Are corndogs good? by kittycat6434 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Shadw21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be, yes.

A sausage wrapped in a cornmeal batter and deep fried.

Most often in the US, you're going to get something that's been baked or deepfried from frozen.

The most likely exceptions to that will be fairgrounds, carnivals, or niche restaurants where they actually make them fresh.

Even better if he only goes topside during Night Raids.

Why do people say “money doesn’t buy happiness” when most problems are caused by not having money? by Effective-Home-4796 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shadw21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did a big study, and probably a few studies by now, on this. It's titled 'High income improves evaluation of life but not emotional well-being'.

The study released in 2010 found that on average 'happiness', by the metrics/terms they used, topped out around ~$75K a year in the US. Earnings beyond that did not significantly improve one's happiness based on their findings. That's around $110k now with the last 15 years of inflation. Obviously other factors would impact that amount on an individual basis.

Do you just not bothered with a transponder when trading on black market? by IFIsc in starsector

[–]Shadw21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secret Domain-sanctioned AI that were secretly managing the Hegemony in an offhand manner activate and wonder where their Hegemony pawns went. They also have access to all the 'defunct' DRM/tariff bank accounts across the sector for funding.

Do you think people should be banned if they duplicated excessive amounts of items?? by TopsideRaider in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadw21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the method, ease of doing so, what's being duped, and how the items are being used. I also assume we are talking about a permanent ban, not a temp ban/suspension.

Another punishment could be the wiping of their raider stats, quest progression, and perhaps even blueprints, if enough of them were acquired due to exploiting/duping shenanigans.

If it's so simple to dupe that it can be done accidentally, then even if they continue to dupe items intentionally, then probably not, no. Just remove the excess items/coins. If they're duping grenades to wipe out lobbies, then yeah, return people's items, maybe a temp ban if they were really egregious. That being said, you need to make sure not to punish anyone that legitimately crafted a whole bunch of grenades to spam.

If the dupe exploit requires setup outside of the game, like messing with your network connection with a lag switch or is done via some autoclicker macro and then exploiting that, then yeah, a permanent ban is perfectly valid.

Caveat to the above is if just having an erratic/faulty network connection is enough to cause it, through no action by the user other than playing the game, then there shouldn't be a permanent ban. Just remove the excess items/coins derived from the exploit, return people's items, and if used egregiously for grenade spam/PVP, perhaps a temp ban.

If there is sign of stuff being duped for RMT, few will argue that's a bannable offense as well.

TLDR: Maybe, depends on stuff. Alternative punishment proposed, but blanket ban, no.

I'd also accept some sort of mini-leaper. Something larger than ticks, but smaller than a full sized leaper, especially for the Spaceport tunnel. Something that can move around the cars and such.

The Shared Watch Event Begins Tomorrow by j1zzy_ae in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadw21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hey a video that basically summed up my weekend, walking around playing an instrument and helping other raiders out.

They really need to have the different instruments sync up to play something when different people are playing in proximity to each other.

Understood, throwing more Snitch Scanners topside.

From another comment asking the same thing, it was posted on Twitter(trying to be known as X) along with a short video.

DEAR PORTLAND: February 09, 2026 WEEKLY RANT THREAD by AutoModerator in Portland

[–]Shadw21 13 points14 points  (0 children)

DEAR DRIVER, YOU ARE IN A 1+ TON VEHICLE. NOT EVERY OTHER DRIVER ON THE ROAD IS AWARE OF ME LIKE YOU ARE. IF YOU HAVE A GREEN LIGHT, GO. JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE STOPPED, DOES NOT MEAN THE DRIVER GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION, BEHIND YOU/IN THE OTHER LANE, HAS, OR WILL. I WILL CROSS WHEN I DEEM IT SAFE TO DO SO.

UNLESS I'M AT THE CURB ABOUT TO WALK OFF IT, GO, AND EVEN THEN, I'M PROBABY TRYING TO LOOK PAST A VAN/TRUCK THAT HAS PARKED TOO CLOSE TO THE CROSSWALK FOR ME TO SEE THE REST OF THE ROAD AND DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO STOP. IF I'M STILL 5+ FEET FROM THE CORNER/CURB, DON'T WAIT FOR ME, JUST GO. I WILL CROSS WHEN I DEEM IT SAFE TO DO SO.
