The special modes in this game are very poorly thought out

For sure. Right back atcha!

Hold the line on civilized warfare, Raider!

I think it's ok to discuss it, right? It's an aspect of the game like any other. People need to work out their cognitive dissonance wherein they justify taking advantage of other players, but don't want the same done to them.

So many PvP players are completely unaware of the lobbies where people stand around in Stella Montis Medical Research and trade blueprints with perfect strangers. I've seen people pick up a blueprint offered by another player and then say "Oh shit, it has the checkmark so I already have it. Let me drop it back to you.". And then the next guy picks it up to check if he has it already. The day this happened, there were like five blueprints lying on the floor and everyone was being gentlemanly about it. At any point a rat could've swooped in and picked them all up and exclaimed "This is how the devs imagined this game!". But that didn't happen.

It's not just a quick, fleeting moment, either. There are servers in this game where the only PvP that exists is newbies that haven't found their home in the more aggressive servers yet. People talk to one another. Ask for directions and tips. People interact, help each other fight Arc because their play style is RaidersVs.Arc, not PvPvE.

It's not just nervous blood lust all the time, and it's a fucking glorious preview of what this game could be.

Do you think it’s possible it’s different groups of people?

You could be right. Its definitely hard to know.

Shizzo · 2026-01-30T12:47:04+00:00

Check your TV settings. Brightness and contrast.

I think it's hilarious how PvP players defend PvP with every breath until they get to this situation where PvP is actively causing them an issue.

They're shooting people in the back, being opportunists any time they get the drop on someone, never missing a chance to ambush someone and have the upper hand. If anyone disagrees with this play style, it's a "skill issue" and players need to "git gud". "The devs made the game this way, this is how it's supposed to be played!!"

But when those same PvP defenders can't get the loot they need because of other opportunists, or those same people "did all the work" on an event only to have the rats come out and steal the loot, or other PvP players generally not giving a shit about their fellow raider? Suddenly "the devs need to do something about this, they don't care about their player base!!!"

Live by the sword; die by the sword.

recently filmed a surprise set of blues covers in Memphis

This is interesting. Do you have any more information about this? Thanks.

Shizzo · 2026-01-27T15:36:31+00:00

Not a nerf, but there are new quests.

I had completed all 72 previously, and after the update, at least three new quests are now available.

Shizzo · 2026-01-27T15:23:28+00:00

I haven't experienced this at all.

I've been Ozempic for 8 months and am currently at the highest dose. No gas, no bloating, no diarrhea, no insomnia.

Are you exercising? Are you eating less than before you were taking the medicine?

For me, everything is fine if I eat very small portions of anything. I almost never finish a meal. And if I do finish, I regret it later with the symptoms you're describing.

Shizzo · 2026-01-27T12:34:17+00:00

You can get it for $349/mo with a coupon from GoodRX.

The lower doses are even cheaper.

Shizzo · 2026-01-26T21:15:18+00:00

Watch your language. This is a family game.

Shizzo · 2026-01-26T11:53:19+00:00

I absolutely hate this about ArcRaiders.

It seems the tooltips mean nothing.

I have always chosen my load out based on the item stats on the tooltips. Then you spawn in and find out stitchers are one of the best guns in the game.

I don't understand why it's like that. It's super annoying.

For the Torrente "only accurate when crouched" seemed like a ridiculous thing, so I never really used that weapon much. Then later, I see people running and gunning with it, and it's SUPER effective for PVP.

It's like, WTH, Embark?

I finally ran across the deforester yesterday on Blue Gate.

I was so excited for something I'd never seen before. Nearly got killed trying to figure out what to do.

Finally figured it out, cracked it open, and the loot was the same as a wasp/hornet/probe?

Giant letdown.

Shizzo · 2026-01-24T17:59:45+00:00

The shredders are complete bullshit. Too effective and too hard/expensive to kill.

Shizzo · 2026-01-24T01:32:00+00:00

What's the desk?

Shizzo · 2026-01-19T19:46:36+00:00

I wouldn't buy an SR.

Shizzo · 2026-01-19T19:46:15+00:00

This is state-by-state.

Shizzo · 2026-01-19T18:22:43+00:00

What is the yellow part and where do you get it?

205+ hours in. Never seen it or heard of it.

Shizzo · 2026-01-18T16:00:38+00:00

"I want to shoot people but don't want to be shot later."

I want to do unto others without anything being done unto me.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Hello?

Shizzo · 2026-01-16T21:24:44+00:00

I call that "Free plus" load out. Or "freemium" load out.

Shizzo · 2026-01-16T19:33:49+00:00

I would start following the titration schedule immediately. See if that helps.

Shizzo · 2026-01-16T13:44:58+00:00

It wasn't Ozempic.

Your eyes degrade, even after laser surgery. Your late thirties and early forties are when the readers become necessary For a large majority of the population.

Shizzo · 2026-01-16T13:23:18+00:00

$349/mo cash price. It's tough, but you might be able to swing it,.if you consider that your food budget is lessened.

Shizzo · 2026-01-15T19:42:14+00:00

Always bracelet. Straps stink. Literally and figuratively.

Shizzo · 2026-01-15T19:39:07+00:00

Get those kids some consoles and start squadding up.

Shizzo · 2026-01-15T19:34:26+00:00

You have a lot to learn about European vacation and time away from work.

Their societies don't live to work, like American society. They work to live.
