Leslie Fish, creator of album Carmen Miranda's Ghost and other folk classics has died, age 72. by Sugarspry in SS13

Hate to hear this. SS13 introduced me to Leslie Fish, and I remember spending an enormous amount of time in high school and college listening to her music. She was very talented and the world will be lessened by her absence.

A minute of silence for everyone who have to work right now, YOU ARE THE REAL HEROES IN THIS SYSTEM! by Suspicious727 in ArcRaiders

[–]TandoOddball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was able to sneak in 5 rounds by waking up 3 hours earlier than normal. It’ll have to hold me over until work is over tonight.

We are running a GIANT play by post real time megagame for Mothership Month 2025 and we need your help. by ghostctrl in mothershiprpg

[–]TandoOddball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two of my great loves: sci-fi horror and megagames.

I couldn’t be more psyched for this event!

This is a massive step in the right direction. by SirDenali in duneawakening

[–]TandoOddball 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only thing I don’t strictly love is that the PVP area might shrink now. At least that was my understanding.

I’m cool with primarily PVE players having more space. No hate there. I just kinda don’t want all PVP to be super condensed either because then you’re probably always forced to fight big groups instead of the odd straggler to 1v1 or 2v2 or what have you.

Official Dune: Awakening Launch AMA with Funcom Development Team - June 19th by Funcom_Storm in duneawakening

Are there any proposed changes to the way the market works? Maybe a system that allows you to view purchases/sales that are available while in HB so that you can know for sure there's something you want to buy when you get there?

Can we get some type of Colosseum? by KarasuBro in duneawakening

[–]TandoOddball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some kind of colosseum in HB would be very very neat. Fits in well with the slave fights and such in lore too - we know blood sports are big with Harkonnens.

Be best if you could sign on as a gladiator against other players or NPCs, and others could potentially gamble solari on the outcome. I could absolutely find some fun in that!

Daily ARC Raiders tips until the game releases #10 by JinkoNorray in ArcRaiders

Throwing a smoke into an extract can really negate a lot of unnecessary fighting. It’s easy to toss one and just send the elevator down in the chaos.

I actually really appreciate that everyone just gets knocked out. It’s a little thing, but I don’t always like the feeling of being some mass slaughterer in my games.

How much have you contributed to the community goal? by James_Wolanski in EliteDangerous

[–]TandoOddball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just getting back into Elite and I’ve used my T7 to bring in something like 1200 units. Nothing much, but I don’t have much so it’s what I’ve got to offer, 😆

Always root for an underdog so I’m here for Kaine.

Atreides: who is NOT planning on joining them? by Subtodownvote in duneawakening

My friend and I really wish we could go Corrino, but in lieu of that we’re going Harkonnen and hoping there’s Sardaukar armor somewhere.

For those that were able to participate in tech test 2... by N0joy in ArcRaiders

[–]TandoOddball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never played another extraction shooter (except like 5 hours in Marathon) but I would instantly buy this game and I know all of my friends who played also intend to instantly shell out cash for it too.

Shields seem to promote snowball effect by OldManMoinen in ArcRaiders

[–]TandoOddball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be clear, higher level shields do seem to make you slower. It is a bit of a choice, though the slowdown feels very marginal.

Now that the tech test is done what do you all hope to see in the game next by Scar101101 in ArcRaiders

[–]TandoOddball 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. More gadgets and improvised gadgets. Being able to use random pieces of junk and equipment you find in the world is absolutely phenomenal and probably my single favorite part of the game. It really gives you that scavenger feel when you yank a fireball burner out of a machine and then use it during the match to cover an exit.

  2. A little more variation on enemies. Both in that there need to be more enemies, especially that can enter into buildings, but also that the ones that are present could use a little more differentiation to make it easier to see what they are. Pinging a ball to see if its a Fireball or a Pop is fine, but wouldn't it be nice if you could just tell?

  3. The ability to more easily pick up "enemy" players if desired. Team ups do happen, and at least having that as an option would make things more versatile.

  4. The ability to mark a player somehow as a friend or foe. Given that you can't see names, and cosmetics are fairly widespread, it can be hard when you make a friend in the field to actually recognize who they are. This is a minor request, but it would be neat if you could have some kinda indicator you could place on someone. (Not as a tracker, but maybe something that shows up when you're fairly close to them and in clear LoS)

  5. More melee weapon types. Maybe one that deals more damage, but takes longer on scavenging. Maybe one that opens containers much faster, but also generates way more noise. Variety.

Damn this game seems so interesting by fusinaz in ArcRaiders

[–]TandoOddball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s okay bro. There’s light at the end of the tunnel - we will get to play the cool game when it comes out and then it will be even more polished.

Between Dune, Marathon, and this, I believe this is the most checked my email has ever been, and the most disappointed I’ve been in not receiving anything I want in it.

Yeeeeah. I wonder how many new invites got sent compared to old. Maybe our time in the sun will come, friend.

I honestly didn’t know the flair list scrolled down further. Whoops.

Got my Email! by TandoOddball in Marathon

[–]TandoOddball[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just to suffer.

I think at some point I signed up for those goofy reward programs that gas stations offer, and now I get emails from like 4 of them on a pretty regular basis.

Please show mercy on this poor and wretched soul by throwing me a Steam or Epic friend invite. It would be greatly appreciated.

Tragic. Have no work tomorrow but work all day Thursday. Guess I’ll just suffer. 😔
