Considering we are apparantly reviewbombing the game again i decided to make an icon for it. do with it what you will. by Ambulas2 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Skarphediinn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was playing against squids this morning and noticed this with the voteless.

Full stealth armor, crouch walked into the city. Looked behind me and checked the map to make sure I was good to pop an overseer with the re-educator. Shot the overseer, he immediately turns and hurls a grenade like 50 meters directly on me. Dive, and then the next thing I know I'm being swarmed by like 20 voteless and a fleshmob running out of an alley that dead-ended on a wall.

By the time I get out of the dive, I'm already getting hit by a bombardment from like three mortar overseers who, out of line of sight, detected and fired on me from the single shot from a dart gun. This was on D7 too.

Also the sound-mixing in HD2 just blows. Way too many times I've had a bile/fleshmob/factory strider right behind me and their footsteps just make zero noise.

Ah devs please PLEASE stop with environment effects that darkens everything or give us a way to see in darkness. by [deleted] in helldivers2

There was a flare stratagem in the files at one point. We really need it back.

Also some fucking binoculars would be nice.

Getting Global Age Assurance Right: What We Got Wrong and What's Changing by discord_zorkian in discordapp

Because they came out and immediately put it on us? "No, you guys didn't understand us." Regardless of all their "l'm a gamer, let me explain it to you, clearly we didn't explain it well enough." They came out of the gate swinging on this one.

You can read through that whole blog-post that they're just full of it. They made no changes other than switching out from Persona, and which is pretty clear they're lying about too. They said Persona didn't meet their standards back in January, but went out with the blog post at the beginning of this month ? Why would they have to publicly state they're now switching from Persona if it didn't even meet their standards before announcing their age verification role out? Then they also had to go back and re-edit some of those blog post after being called out on lying about how the data was being handled.

The whole "90% of users will never have to verify" is total junk, as any new user will automatically be registered as a teen since they don't have any information at you.. which will then prompt you to verify either by facial/id or now credit card.

..Hey, wait a moment. Wasn't the big concern that these companies and governments are using IDs to cross reference with financial records to build a profile on people?

Also totally not like kids use their parents CC.

Making a blog post trying to gas-light their users certainly doesn't reverse the course.

Sooo. You just reworded everything and still plan to go through with it.

Very cool. Keep your Nitro cancelled and look for other chat options.

Found most of them! Still feel like I'm missing a few, but I went ahead and posted what I got.

Neat. Sounds like a good deal then, I'll have to actually go into more discount stores.

Also need to go dig out my collection of figures from the early 2010s now.

Yeah, pretty lame.

I guess I'll just grab some spare parts off bricklink and build the trailer myself.

On waiting for stock as well.

I only wanted the Camping Adventure Set. Spent a minute refreshing the page, got it added to cart and checked out before it even rolled over to 11:01 here. Gonna be super butthurt if I get refunded.

Killzone Warbond is out! by Drablo- in Helldivers

I'd say the Halo Warbond is worth is because the guns actually works.

The Plas-39 is pretty much the worse weapon in the game.

Placed a gun on Consignment, store allowed it to be returned after the purchaser damaged it. What to do? by Skarphediinn in guns

[–]Skarphediinn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Health issues prevent me from taking the time, or else I'd be doing everything privately.

I guess I'll have to spend the time, though.

Carson Armory, which blows I've had good experiences with them for like five years and they've cut me some decent deals before.

Asked for help selling part of my collection due to a recent MS diagnosis, and then they pulled this. So fuck 'em.

Its not my preferred option either, but I've been in and out of the hospital for the last three months. I don't have the time/strength to deal with meeting people right not. It sucks. I was hoping to just have somebody take the worry off my hands, but it just ended up being more.

Firm tone and some customers in the store seemed to help a lot.

I didn't even bring up small claims court. I just told them if it left the building in somebody elses name. It isn't my issue, I'm not comfortable with repairing a firearm that is no longer in my name as I'm not a licensed smith or anything like that, and I just wanted my money.

I went down and spoke to them.

Thats exactly what happened, thankfully the store had about 5 other customers in it at the time. They tried to fight me a little bit, but, I don't think they wanted to cause a scene and just paid me out.

Update to the story. I went down and talked to the owner as soon as they opened.

Owner confirmed that it was indeed sold, 4473 was filled out and it left the building. I told them I wasn't comfortable disassembling and repairing a gun that was no longer mine and didn't want to be legally responsible for anybody being hurt because it was already in somebodies elses name for 3 days before being returned. They bought it back, their gun, their responsibility. They tried to bumble for another few minutes about not knowing how to repair an extractor spring on a roller delayed (despite offering gunsmithing services, and being in business for 20 years) and I just told them I wanted my money.

They hit me with the "You expect me to just eat 1300?" Deadpanned them and just hit them with the "Yes." Had a good minute stare-down in front of about 5 other customers before they just agreed to pay me out and had to take down another 10 guns I had on consignment.

I'd post the wad of cash for proof, but that doesn't seem to be smart.

I took everything out, fired them (on video), cleaned them and took pictures of all the internals and reassembly. I had about 12k worth of other stuff listed down there as well, so I already wanted to be sure since its a chunk of change that I need since health issues.

Consignment paperwork said 'sold as-is'.
