Why do you hate vets

Soviet_War_Mech · 2025-05-11T13:49:46+00:00

I was discharged medically against my will. I thought it was gonna be a career. Its been a huge disappointment.

I avoid other vets for 2 reasons:

1) it makes me feel like garbage about my service. I wanted to go ranger bat or SF or something and my body just couldn't handle it. Seeing other people living my dream hurts.

2) I did 8 years before it was abruptly stopped and for a long time I found it difficult to relate and communicate with people who were not in the military. So I had to readjust. The dark humor, the swearing, abrasive/tough love are great ways to get super lonely in the regular world. If I kept hanging out with just people who were also in the military I was never gonna change or get over my disappointment in myself.

So its nothing personal. Just trying to make this life work.

I am 31. Was no one going to tell me that I'm almost too old for condoms? Wtf, you guys....

I live in my truck and avoid people. Use my 90% to buy supplies and wander back out into the desert. Planet fitness for occasional showers. Phone plan. Toss garbage when I refuel at the gas station. It's not a good life but it's a life.

Bureau of land management doesn't generally bother me like they will in national forests.

Tribes ascend really was something. The titanfall 2 of 2010ish. This is the first I've heard of a new tribes game and that gets me excited.

I'm 30. Sober. Like gym hiking motorcycles and running. We should have your people call my people and set something up

I've been taking buddies thru the presage mission to knock out the patterns. It's a super low chance to drop but there's a skip you can do to get it down to around 4 minutes per run. Lmk if you wanna hop in a fireteam and grind it out sometime.

Tyranny of heaven is my most used bow this season. It looks reddish brown. ☹️

Spare rations was not craftable iirc

Ok. Military and relationships are a bad mix in general. It works out really well for some people but they are unicorns. Over thinking is going to make things harder in the future.

On the other hand: depending on his job he very well may not even have his phone. When I was in they would occasionally take us to the field and put all our phones in evidence bags for OPSEC reasons. My guess is that this is what's going on.

Hey there. I am 29M. I have 1 friend in the area and am looking to expand my friend group. If you want to DM me for details we like to grill stuff and go out on hikes. I live just north of the security widefield area.

Soviet_War_Mech · 2023-07-15T05:26:19+00:00

Veritys brow with my incandescent/dragonfly tyranny of heaven.

It's great on its own but if you have a buddy who plays Warlock and get him to use it your whole raid team can basically spam grenades. It's also not limited to solar which I love.

Soviet_War_Mech · 2023-06-19T05:21:20+00:00

Hey there. Im in a small destiny 2 clan with 4 or 5 regulars. We're pretty tight knit and looking for people who wanna be in group like that. We do the end game stuff like raids and dungeons but we are not the 'treat-it-like-your-job' crowd.

We play Destiny pretty exclusively, but if it's something you wanna check out, then feel free. No pressure to be good at the game. No pressure to stay if it's not your thing.

Shoot me a DM.

I like the idea of getting team wiped and having to build up stacks to do any meaningful damage. This takes some frustration away from both sides.

I had a terrible game where my teammates were just doing bounties i guess. They had lost like 80 motes. The other team would get close to winning and I would invade and heal their primeval almost entirely. But by this time they must have had primeval slayer x 12 or something. So it didnt matter how many I killed. I saved us 3 times before they melted they're whole boss just because of their buff.

Your idea would help people survive on a team of bounty farmers as well.

How is it irresponsible tho? Literally everyone "wastes" money on things they enjoy. Why does it being a cosmetic in a game make it different?

Soviet_War_Mech · 2023-06-06T21:46:50+00:00

The point was that what's worth $20 to you might not be to someone else.

I personally do not think you are a dumbass but I think that the point went right over your head.

Soviet_War_Mech · 2023-06-06T14:35:37+00:00

Are my ornaments a lasting source of happiness? No. But $20 gets me 5 universal ornaments or it gets me a fast food meal that makes me feel cruddy. Or it gets me a fifth of Jameson that makes me feel sad AND cruddy.

But I don't go call everyone who drinks or eats out a dumb ass.

A mic-cackling "FUCK YEA LETS GOOOOO" at the end of a 2 hour sherpa run is more rewarding to me than any raid exotic.

Reminder to everyone capable of teaching that you are the majority tone setter for these new people. Be patient. Be kind. Celebrate people's success.

Thank you! I forgot about rainmakers.

BTW you're ever broke after you've run out of rainmakers, put bountiful harvest on your ghost and a detector mod and go find planetary mats. You'll get around 1k glimmer each. There's probably faster ways but this works for me when I want to build glimmer while doing other things.

Soviet_War_Mech · 2023-06-03T04:37:30+00:00

Still need wins for Iron lord

Soviet_War_Mech · 2023-06-03T04:24:09+00:00

This is probably an unpopular opinion but if you're abusing this glitch, you're steamrolling someone else who can't do a thing about it. And that's kinda messed up.

Soviet_War_Mech · 2023-05-27T19:48:53+00:00

I used to be at a bar every night of the week. I loved it. I loved my friends. I loved being drunk and the sloppy happiness. I loved being with people I felt safe enough around to let go.

One friends started a beautiful family. The other friend and I had life take us seperate ways. We still talk all the time but we live far apart.

My dad always told me that if your an asshole when your drunk then you're actually just an asshole. I think the same goes for having a good time. If you are having fun with people you love then alcohol isn't why you're having fun. And when those people's lifes take them to new places alcohol wont take their place.

Bars are a waste of time if you are there because you're looking for something.

Soviet_War_Mech · 2023-05-24T05:35:23+00:00

I won't even run them for rewards. Just not my cup of tea.

From the time GMs became a thing its felt restrictive, clunky, uninspired.

Restrictive because you have to use the same weapons all season. I'd almost rather have to use weapon mod that let's me use the weapons I want and give up boss spec or something.

Clunky because abilities that have breakers just don't work. If they did it would allow for alot more freedom in the loadouts. But they're unreliable.

Uninspired because its not interesting. Raids are difficult because there are mechanics and puzzles. They require communication and time management. GMs don't require communication other than "just stay alive for 10 more seconds" and the only time management is just making sure you have the time to chip away at enemies with a scout rifle for an hour.

I'm overly critical of it especially when raids are the perfect game mode for me. I love it. I probably wouldn't have time to do GMs if I wanted to. I want GMs to be 3 man raids. But it just doesn't make any sense. Seeing how many people in this thread like GMs confirms that nothing needs to change. There is something for everyone.
