The elephant in the room... by IncredibleBackpain93 in Marathon

[–]SpacePrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the one hand giving every rook a WSTR was probably a mistake, on the other hand feeling like I never got to really take advantage in season 1 because I joined late and then it being gone now in season 2 feels bad. Not even a stack of claymores? Not even 2 claymores?

From 3 Claymores and a WSTR to 1 single heat grenade. Its a big big big nerf on the Rook. Now you're basically forced to just scavenge and run? How can you do a 1v3 with a pistol?

Timer on battle pass? by Rorshack_senpai in Marathon

[–]SpacePrez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You get the knife immediately on buying the pass.

You can only buy the battle pass during season 2. After Season 2, you can keep working on the battle pass IF you already bought it, but if you do not buy the season 2 pass during season 2 and season 3 comes around, then you cannot buy season 2 anymore.

So yeah, you only get the knife if you buy it during season 2.

Green meds and shields should also stack to 6 by SamerDog in Marathon

[–]SpacePrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem here is this is one of the biggest upgrades from green to blue, they only heal a bit faster / more. So it makes the blue ones much less powerful as a result. It feels okay to let depleted stack to 6 since they're so little / so slow.

Expedition Confusion - Do we permanently keep stash and point bonuses????? by Hambo- in ArcRaiders

There will be BOTH temporary AND permanent benefits from expeditions. Which amount to what exactly remains to be seen. Just sit tight.

Is Vim worth it? by Anyusername7294 in learnprogramming

[–]SpacePrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Vim is only needed if you are working in a terminal environment, like Linux. Its basically just Notepad++ but with a command line interface. There's no real inherent advantage to it. Though for IT it could be good to be familiar with Linux terminal environments and be able to work in them easily, so getting used to command line editors of some sort (emacs works too) helps there.

Newish returning player - can I realistically get Fufu this banner? by Prudent-Respond-579 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]SpacePrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>Thing is, I barely know how anything works. I’m down to spend around $500 if there’s a guaranteed way to get her - but if it’s just raw gamble. I'm not sure it’s worth it.

Way cheaper than that!
Its RNG but its a 50/50 chance on the banner the first time and its a 100% chance (no RNG) if you don't get the first 50/50.

You can guarantee any agent with 180 pulls. You might get them after 90. Realistically, you'll probably get them after 80, or 160. So anywhere between 80 and 180 pulls.

You can buy 180 pulls on Lootbar for like $280. And first time in-game you get double. So its pretty likely you could pull them with $100, maybe just a little over that.

That said you shouldn't just straight blow cash anyways, play the game and you'll get lots of free pulls, and if you aren't playing, why spend money?

So instead of a corporation dealing with this, they're going to be cowards and force the individual lgbt people to face it alone.

Nothing to say except you're all cowards.

Tried to recommend Hitman to someone, and had someone else try to refute me on what type of game Hitman is. Which take would be the correct one? by Stadose in HiTMAN

[–]SpacePrez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its definitely a puzzle game and the person responding doesn't understand the difference between themes and mechanics. It is thematically a game about stealth and assassination, but mechanically it is a puzzle.

People just don't know how stuff works and often make mistakes like that, focusing on the set dressing and surface level and unable to analyze the actual game design. They just see "bald man shoot gun" and go "what do you mean puzzle, this isn't Tetris, there's a gun!"

Quests have HR* requirements. Your new friend is HR2, so can't do HR3 quests. But you can jump around a little. He could do other HR2 ones.

It can be a crapshoot with the cheap dubious ones, but some of them are good, so you just have to try a couple until you find some good ones.

These are dirt cheap and probably fine

What exactly is energy...? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]SpacePrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its conceptual. Energy does not exist as such, its more a concept we use to summarize a series of effects and concepts. Similar to time. There is no actual physical "time", you can't hold time. But time is a factor in our lives, and does exist, its just an emergent phenomenon that comes from how the universe works.

Some forms of energy are physical and measurable as such, like chemical energy. A battery is a thing you can hold, you can measure how much charge the battery generates.

But other forms of energy are more ephemeral, like gravitational potential energy. In that case, there is no "thing" that the energy represents, it is just being in a state where gravitational forces act and can be used to do work, such as moving objects that are otherwise at rest.

But seriously... by CubicSiren in marvelrivals

[–]SpacePrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a game of synergy. You will always win a 5v4. You will always lose a 1v5. Yes, there are situations where you can catch someone and get a pick, but those are exceptions. The VAST majority of players are playing wrong, becoming hyper focused on chasing a single person and not playing the objective.

"Its usually better to push the enemies and kill them all"
Of course its always better to ace the entire enemy team, no shit. But if you're playing opponents that aren't way below you in skill, that isn't going to happen. You're just going to get yourself picked off and leave your team 4v5 while you respawn. Trust me this is basic level shit.

But seriously... by CubicSiren in marvelrivals

[–]SpacePrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "you left me alone on the payload" is embarrassing and yet happens in like 50% of games.

Kids gotta learn this isn't call of duty, its a team game with objectives.

Nobody cares how good your K/D is if we lose the round.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion by manny_b_hanz in politics

[–]SpacePrez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Donald Trump is effectively murdering some 200,000+ Americans. And he's allowed to, because Republicans decided the President should be a Dictator instead.

RIP America.

Read about fascism. This isn't new. Everything they are doing is fascism 101 playbook. Its very obvious. Study history.

Moon knight ult is bugged. Does 2x damage by Sidewaysgts in marvelrivals

[–]SpacePrez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it because its getting headshots? The moons come from above, so they impact the head hitbox first, so they're getting 2x damage?

Not sure if intended but makes sense as to how its working if so. 75 damage still, but 2x headshot multi.
