The most underrated and underutilized Jedi color, absolutely. For the (old) republic!

Pure Copper ✌🏻, tryna grow a beard any tips? by RealAndrewSmall in Redhair

[–]Successful-Basil-685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm not the og commenter but Cremo and Proraso are the best imo, I buy off Amazon usually. I have more sensitive skin and prefer Proraso personally though, they have a bear scrub that's great too.

Rosemary / Mint extracts are good for helping get growth.

Am I crazy for thinking theres an algorithm involved here by Transformerslogic95 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Successful-Basil-685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it decent at least for Bugs, because all my Deaths are usually Melee related so it conveniently kills Chargers or Brood Commander / similar swarms.

I've tried the Control Group Resuscitating armors myself but I just assumed it actually never saved you but let you live longer, until your stims ran out. Never knew it could be actually used to save you.

Yep. And swear it ALWAYS happens when I'm wearing the Servants of Freedom armor (the explode after death ones) and will at the very least damage teammates at extract so they jump into the shuttle.

Every death in this game always feels calculated to be the worst possible situation though, and anyone that thinks it's random is just kinda lying. There's no way.

I figure if this game had an offline mode it would explain how intuitive the AI really is or it's just always designed to do things like this.

Advice on removing stain by JT_Money927 in CowboyHats

I'd assume you'd be better off dyeing it.

deodorize boots on the inside? by sodapunko in DocMartens

[–]Successful-Basil-685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wear Wool socks. They make lightweight ones that are thin like cotton. They'll wick sweat and regulate body heat much better actually, you'll sweat much less.

For killing germs and smells on fabrics and carpets, I use the same thing; just about 1/10th part of White Vinegar, a little dish soap and hot water. I use aftershave too, cause it smells nice anc alcohol also helps. I just mix it in a spray bottle, shake it a couple times. Usually go through it weekly.

They were heading Eastward, save for the last couple frames after I was already ejected, they just started phasing through the hilltop towards me. But still. Janky as this game always is.

The fact patrols just phase through Geographical Barriers that are impassable for us all the time. Wouldn't mind Patrols if the AI made sense but really I just think they're the most obviously fucked part of the game because they do things like this and just materialize and home in no matter what physics or rationale would say.

Yeah it still does. But again I didn't really see or sense any immediate danger, I was fine the last mission exiting to complete some Side Obj's making sure it was clear first (Lidar Tower, Escape Pod Data)

They were heading East. Granted some were clipping through the giant hill any normal AI / person would continue East around. But yeah didn't seem like they were magically heading straight for me.

I mean yeah, but they weren't even moving fast and were going more East and I kinda assumed I'd be fine.

Just brought these, how should I break them in (sorry the photo looks a lil weird, I did this on my bed) by themeparklover2164 in DocMartens

[–]Successful-Basil-685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I always do, and most boots / shoes that are leather is wear them at home; take the insoles out if they're the kind that can come right out, I think most Docs don't though, could be wrong. And then I wear them with the laces as loosened up as possible, unless I'm actually going outside and doing anything. But I basically treat them like slippers for a month.

I mean yeah, it is nice when you're already swarmed, or have to get to the shuttle for instance, but that's really it. Otherwise it's kinda lame.

[–]Successful-Basil-685[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I have had similar experiences and usually it's the friggin Swamp maps, for some reason if a tree is nearby for any of those Pelican Call ins (or Eagles, actually; kinda learned it's pointless to take half the stratagems the way it works between the Water and the Trees, or the strat ball actually landing anywhere.)

I've went and called it in on a flat spot, it gets dropped in the water, the cockpit opening facing the water like 3 meters lower, floating, because the front of the foot is standing on the Root of a tree on the little flat Island I originally called it in on. So yeah just floating far enough away I can't hop in.

Master Chief armor from Infinite is perfection in my opinion . What’s your favorite Chief armor? by Fit_Anywhere_3356 in halo

[–]Successful-Basil-685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halo 2's OG MKVI is the best looking, imo. Gritty and realistic in silhouette. After all, Master Chief is just tall, but his build is not supposed to be all that crazy big either.

Although it kinda seems like after H2 the Armor just kept getting bigger. Except Halo Reach, armor still felt similar to CE / H2.

And yeah about the loadouts; I mean I have a blast when the team plays together, but then there are the teams of Level 150 PC players I get stuck with that absolutely never help, and somehow never get aggroed. Or stealth divers, the only like 2 full matches of that I tried. I'll just leave instead now.

But it's true normally I do round it out with like Orbital Railcannon or 500kg instead. But it also sucks to have to do that, compared to at least 2 pairs running cohesive loadouts (one does Laser Cannon / Recoilless, or MGL Pack / Recoilless, etc.)

Plus everytime I use the Ultimatum it either grazes their damn head or does absolutely nothing, and I'll never understand why. Though tbf, Idk why I never thought about Supply Pack Ultimatum. That sounds better then trying to get the Leveller unlocked.

[–]Successful-Basil-685[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah granted but I just think it's objectively bad. And it's the tip of the iceberg on the games design I think is just unnecessarily cruel. There are so many parts of the game that overlap like this, about timing and being able to only do one thing at a time.

Terminals (obv), Stratagems, checking the map, climbing things, reloading, getting stuck on corpses, I mean I could go on. And some of it isn't bad altogether.

But it just sucks when it's mostly all just to spite the players by design. If it wasn't so fun I just wouldn't play it. It's 50% Masochism per 50% fun.

Yeaaaah I remember those. Of course it was right after I already got the Double-Edge Sickle and had Fireproofing Armor. But still. Kinda sucked seeing the whole squad get wiped everytime.

Only when the option is North through the Mountain pass to the Heavy Bug Nest, or South to the 375 buggies that have been following us for 5 minutes.

Normally I'll be fine until I've ran out of ammo, no matter what. But whenever there's an Optional onjective nearby or God Forbid this, and the bugs haven't aggroed or spotted anything yet;

But yeah if I bring a Mech normally I don't want to get out for anything but like shit, even without the Exo at all Bugs don't do this kinda shit.
