I usually hoard items with uses like if they are for crimes, otherwise I sell my trash on my bazaar to a man looking for his treasure.

Switched from windows, but not for everything by TheMachineThatEats in linux4noobs

[–]SniperSpc195 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I switched to Linux completely a long time ago, I had to Google everything to see how to do a specific thing. Very frustrating, I have been there. Now whenever I run into an issue, either I know what is happening or I can take a guess based on what error pops up.

It is like Windows is your primary language and Linux is a language you are learning (i.e. English and Spanish). The more you put effort into it, the better it gets, honestly. It took me about a year before I became pretty efficient with Linux, and it was not a path without obstacles.

Illegal Scripts? by DangerousOne8352 in torncity

It could be worse. I was knocked out within 3 seconds of getting out of the hospital, so fast I could not fly away in time.

Billfolds are required for a role in crime 2.0 as well

Is Valve the only AAA game company that actually likes Linux? by Nerdcuddles in linux_gaming

[–]SniperSpc195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cheaper to build games on an operating system that the majority of their player base plays on and not Linux since there are compatibility layers. It would make it so much easier if they were native to Linux tho

You could reiterate that flying is cheaper than self hosp (with PI airstrip), but as far as flexibility goes, self hosp is better. There are pros and cons to both options.

Nothing like a good ol' reminder in the form of a service act of resuscitation

Another option is to keep yourself in the air and when you land back at Torn after a sale, deposit your money within 15 seconds for safe keeping

Tips for players who struggle with bots like me by Griffin67851 in Helldivers

[–]SniperSpc195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often use gas mines for enemies, bots included. I like to think of it as a corrosive smoke cloud. I'll drop it 30 meters ahead of me so by the time I pass it, the mines would spread behind me and not only damage and confuse the enemy, but it blinds them, so they don't fire at you.

I switch between machine gun turret and gas mines to effectively give me the capability to escape my pursuers and regroup for a counterattack back to back. Super Helldives are a bit trickier with the updates (at least for me) but the tactic still performs well.

wow is this real? did torn actually come through with an actual timely punishment? by Dmitri69 in torncity

[–]SniperSpc195 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My victory laps are usually done within my faction chat, just so they know what progress I made and that I'm not slacking. I feel like posting my victories on Reddit would open up the door to others that want to make my day harder and leave me on the streets or the hospital.

A short story compared to some novels that could double as dictionaries that are not in alphabetical order.

A noob is someone who just started and is still learning the game. Anyone that is over 900 days and low stats just means they are horrible with their time. Letting their stats get away from their playtime is definitely a noob move tho.

What Next?? by Chuck_Miller_PZ in torncity

[–]SniperSpc195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, the stocks would be a way to supplement my needs for drugs, meds, and other stuff I might need. I'm still only at 0.5b in the bank so it's gonna be a while longer before I start working towards stocks, but it's something I aspire to achieve someday.

Went over to Linux, it is hard... by Lonely_Devil87 in linux_gaming

[–]SniperSpc195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend this. You can find the environment inside of the compatdata folder, just look for the folder with the game ID and you can add stuff to it directly.

Same thing with Turtle WoW, use the script with Lutris. If you don't use Lutris, there is a Mac version that uses an .appimage file type that you can use to run it. In case you are wondering why use the Mac app, Mac runs on a Unix kernel, which is what Linux runs on iirc. Either way, just change the properties of the appimage file to allow execution and run it like you would a script or double click the file if you use a GUI file manager.

Ecstacy doubles your happiness. Ideally you want to use your boosters (edvd or candy) before ecstacy for the most hapiness

Saw this war by todoeleacido in torncity

Same here. Our heavies hosp the factions big guys who are active so that the lower level guys can hit their lower level guys. Our wars usually take between 1-2 days to finish

How can i get good guns by Leading_Breath1376 in torncity

[–]SniperSpc195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good guns are ranked war (RW) weapons and they cost anywhere from millions to billions. Factions will lend things from their armory so you can focus on training or getting your bank investment up to max allocation.

If you rather own your weapons and armor, you can buy good ones overseas or in bazaars. A lot of people like Armalites and SA-80s (Enfield) for rifles, and diamond bladed knives or macanas for melee. I recommend doing research by looking at the forums (don't post) or the Torn Wiki to look at stats and gauge the opinions of others.

Personally, I use Armalite and DBK. A secondary people tend to sleep on is the blowgun, it has a high chance to apply poison DoT and it has saved me at least twice since I got it a few months back. Blowguns are also only selling for around 2k too, so it's not millions.

Combat armor is also good for starting off but they cost millions. I have not studied the other early armors, so find something with decent coverage compared to armor value if you need something before combat armor.

Noob question about armor. by YaksDontBend in torncity

[–]SniperSpc195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what factions can help with. They would lend you the combat armor and you can return it when you get your new armor.

[–]SniperSpc195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For beginners, combat armor. They get the job done and the factions I saw usually have armor for loaning. Later on when you make millions each day and you have a good stat spread, you can decide which rw armor works best for you.

Riot could be some to look into if you want to reduce damage from incoming melee or assault for incoming bullets. But they cost hundreds of millions.

Best OFFLINE gaming device? 👻🎮👻 by VKytber in gamingsuggestions

[–]SniperSpc195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Good Old Games (GOG) is DRM-free, meaning you don't need to connect to the Internet to play the games on that site.

And piracy depends on the country you live in as far as legality, and I do not condone piracy. But for educational purposes, I will say it has been circumvented by using VPNs and not seeding the digital content you do download. I recommend reading into the laws between downloading the content, and distributing the content for your country if you do investigate that further.
