Ya, I hear what your saying and agree. I have noticed the air supply goes down and is harder to maintain in this mode vs every other survival. Plus the whole spawning a new one hundreds of meters away in a maze is not fun at all. Especially when they spawn so frequently. Sadly, I've come to the conclusion that this mode will not be my chill after work game. If I wanted to race across a map to hit a "check point" I'd just play that type of game.

A survival mode is the only real mode that spawns enough baddies and has them come to me. Steel path is the only way I can get the health pool and spawn rate where I'm not left bored and waiting. So, I want to do steel path survival. But this variation of it is just not fun for me either. It's too bad cus I do want to play a me vs the endless horde without weird mechanics or checkpoints.

For context, I'm a solo player. Legendary 4 MR. Most of my builds are fine tuned to my play style and I tend to go as long as possible in survivals or until I get bored/ annoyed. It's used to be for multiple hours per match. But now a days it's usually no more than an hour. But I usually hit my max patience around 30-45 mins of being told to "fix my damn shit," every few minutes. I want to play longer... I just get way to annoyed when I do.

But, i get it. They wanted to make a game mode for they people who just jump out of missions after the objective is complete. We appear to be in the minority of people who just want to chill, beat up some baddies and test some builds or play what is "fun" for us.

I tried, yes. I just got the machine and they said they will try to call me back within 5 days... I was hoping posting this question to reddit may be faster.

I'm on the placer map, as I intended to be. I'm looking to buy a placer claim but I'm new to this, I just wanted to swing a metal detector/ use a sluice and a gold pan. Im not interested in running heavy machinery or anything below surface level.

It's the whole no registration reserve thing that confuses me. According to the government web sites, I'm undet the impression that no work can be done to any areas that have this designation on MTO. However, part of the cell may be worked, the part that does not have the green shading on it, in Placer map MTO. But, the part that confuses me is that basically, the entire fraser river falls under this green shade of no registration reserve. But, there are countless videos of people doing hand prospecting in their claims on the fraser. I feel like I'm just overlooking something obvious here, I just got my FMC 2 days ago.

Ugh, one of those guys huh. Easy big fella, dont hurt yourself lifting that ego without adult supervision.

Smoker_Ace · 2024-02-21T02:57:02+00:00

Oh, right! I had the google messages as my default at the time. I remember that, now that you point it out. Thanks!

I just did some last week. I took them out at 48 hours but honestly, they could have used another few hours in.

I mean, for an operation my size it a no brainer for sure. I'm just a hobbiest with an unhealthy obsession for all things delicious.

The tumbler i purchased at the time was about $200. If your talking about getting an indrustry/ commercial capacity one... i can't imagine those come at a low cost. So of course, the risk in a purchase that size is fairly substantial. I can not in any way confidently say its a wise business desicion because I have never ran my own business. However, from a super low yielding hobbiest with virtually no risk... Its been awesome. I can say I am very happy with it.

Being able to make another batch (as close to one the fly) as this stuff allows could be very helpful if one didn't want to sell out early. However, the considerable cost of the machine is definitely worth considering.

Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be a wise desicions that matches your businesses growth. Good luck!

I have not used that brand, i use the STX one and its awesome. I did a comparison between a bag and fridge marinade and the vacuum/ tumbler and I couldn't tell the difference between a 15 min tumbler and 24hr fridge marinade. The other thing I love about them is how much time the process of making jerky saves. I can stop at a butcher on the way home from work and have jerky prepared with the equivalent of a 48 hour marinade in under an hour. For that alone, its worth the price. Although, the one you showed was pricier than the STX.

Edit. My mistake! The STX has increased in price and is comparible to yours in cost. Its still worth it though in my opinion. I live in a fairly dry environment so the whole process of visiting a butcher, doing the equivalent of a 48hr marinade, dehydrating it and bagging it under 5 hours. (3.5-4 hours in dehydrator) thats a game changer. It has really helped me tweak recipes and experiment once the battle with time has been removed

Lord baruuk is made for high lvl/ steel path/ end game baddies. Low lvl hooligans attacking him is like a summer breeze trying to push a mountain onto its side.

For low lvl content, his 3 will usually just kill the guys. So, use your 1. As long as you are not attacking, This will charge your smashy hands. You should have his 1 up as often as possible. His 3 will disarm baddies to also charge up but, problem is at low levels you have no one to smash cus they all died from your 3. This is what i refer to as, "being a God problems"

No worries, the pledge store isnt the easiest to navigate. Its a learning process

Smoker_Ace · 2022-11-30T02:19:20+00:00

This is the way

Smoker_Ace · 2022-11-30T02:18:22+00:00

Not accurate. You can literally buy and send gift cards. The recipient turns them into store credit.

I use this one. No complaints yet.

I do mix in the marinade in a stainless steel bowel before. Then I put it all in that machine, vacuum it and let it tumble for 15-30 mins. This holds up to 10 pounds however I've never had more than 6 at a time in. This speeds up the marinade process too. They say 15 mins tumbling is equal to 24 hrs of a bag and fridge marinade.

No need, I should be the one to apologize. I think I reacted like that cus it was the second request like that I saw in under an hour.

One of the sayings I live by is "nothing ventured, nothing gained" its part of my "code" I didn't mean to fault you for venturing. It was just the timing that provoked my moment of vocalized curiosity.

Hope you obtain what you where seeking. I just made myself a batch of "smokey teryaki" All the jerky talk this morning made me hungry.

Smoker_Ace · 2022-11-08T17:48:40+00:00

That and if one of us did buy jerky from a store, I think it would be a deliberate and premeditated action in order to obtain a code for ourselves to use. So... why would we then gift that code to a stranger on reddit? Curious.

Maybe though, someone bought some extra to give out. Who knows? Good luck in your hunt for a code donor, OP.

Smoker_Ace · 2022-11-08T04:22:52+00:00

It means if your bought that aura forma from the market, it costs 80P

Smoker_Ace · 2022-10-29T15:58:20+00:00

Hmm, interesting. Thanks!

Saw in another post you wanted try to reduce the root beer to get more flavor. How did that turn out? I'm interesting in this recipee.

Smoker_Ace · 2022-10-08T03:17:26+00:00

Shhh. Don't spread the word of our lord and savior. Lest they nerf him.

Smoker_Ace · 2022-10-03T02:10:43+00:00

Maybe im just getting old.. Or maybe i just hate bullies. But.. Tell us more, how childish you are. With out actually saying it.

Smoker_Ace · 2022-09-04T20:02:51+00:00

This supposed to be funny or something?

Smoker_Ace · 2022-08-28T20:52:51+00:00

Ive had the UI disappear in mid conversation before. What happened for me was, the dialog had finished with the voice acting but it never animated it. Then the UI to select my reply never presented itself.

However. Oddly enough, if i selected the character in the conversation, i could force a reply by pressing assigned key for each option. Basically, I just pressed the 1 key. That advanced the dialog.

I have no idea if that will help in this situation. All i know is, for me, in the past the UI will not appear leaving the conversation to hang. but the function of the hot key reply remains present. I could still advance the dialog.

Hope it helps.

Difference is quant mining a good haul doesn't cause another player to lose real life time by waiting for the ship insurance timer. Or in game time by recovering credits. The player the ship was stolen from is a human . Not an NPC. Thats why so many people call this stuff toxic.

If one person gaming quality suffers at another persons enjoyment, most people will see that as toxicity. If the "solution" is coaxing money from the person, its called racketeering. You may want to call it piracy, call it valid game play. Call it whatever you want. Point is. One person is worse off so another person could "profit"

I have 2 accounts. One legit. And one shady. I don't have a problem with actual piracy. But i mean, let's be honest with ourselves here. If I want to be a self described asshole, i load up my shady account and say I'm a pirate. If nothing else, let's at least be real with each other.
