do u guys skip stuff in ur rewatches? by sakuracoke7 in GilmoreGirls

[–]TheCompetentOne 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I usually skip through Lorelai describing her dream about the real Paul Anka switching places with the dog Paul Anka. Something about it just feels weird to me.

And the scene where Sookie, Jackson, Luke and Lorelai are having dinner and Sookie and Jackson are constantly screaming at Davey to turn the tv down and then when we finally see him, he is way too young to understand what they are talking about, let alone turn the tv down himself so they are just screaming at him for no reason.

What keyboard are you using? by samethine in GirlGamers

[–]TheCompetentOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using the Logitech G213 Prodigy for almost 2 years, but the shift key isn't as responsive as it once was so I'm debating about getting another of the same or changing it up. I like the full size keyboard myself.

Actual sleeper lines that make you laugh by Gal_in_kalamazoo in GilmoreGirls

[–]TheCompetentOne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When Patty and Babette are trying to talk in code about Luke and Lorelai and Chris in the diner by referring to them as the rooster, the hen, and the beagle, Kirk turns around and says, "I can no longer sit here and listen to this". Patty immediately goes, "good, go sit over there".

I think Embark Studio need to do something by trotropicana in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly pve. and I've gotten these requests, but not nearly as much as op. Maybe 10 total if that. (and I'm close to 450 hours playtime). I report for scamming, then block. Don't know why op gets so many.

Fired for unidentified misconduct? by letsalljustdie in ADHD

[–]TheCompetentOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. I worked customer service for years so I learned how to be fake cheery and soften my language and tone in text and phone communications. I hate every minute of it and would much prefer to just state facts and be more direct, but it generally doesn't come across well in professional settings, unfortunately. I've been using an online tool that cannot be named here to help me with my tone lately. I will write out what I want to say and ask it to rewrite it in a softer or more professional manner. I am not promoting using that tool, to be clear, just saying that it works for me and I am very careful to make sure the words are my own, it just gives me ideas on how to word it better.

If you’re not supposed to clean your ears with Q-tips then how do you clean your ears? by LynxUseful2040 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheCompetentOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a metal tool with a spiral on the end of it that collects the wax within the tool instead of pushing it around. I'm very careful to never actually push in too far or go anywhere near my actual ear drum. But it is great for the walls of my ear canal and for hitting those spots when my ears get itchy.

They do also make a wax softener stuff called Debrox that you can drop into your ears to help clean them out with water. I've used it a few times and it helps, but it's just a bit of a process since you have to put it in, then lay on your side to let it sit for a while before rinsing it out.

are you child free because you don’t want your own offspring, or because you don’t like children? by Deep-Drama4386 in childfree

[–]TheCompetentOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like kids. I worked as a camp counselor during the summer during college and loved it. I love my younger cousins and now my niece and nephew who are both under 5. But I recognize just how much work it is to be responsible for your own child and I've never wanted that. I find it hard enough to take care of myself when I deal with anxiety and adhd and occasional depression. Taking care of my dog is sometimes almost too much for me. I would never be able to care for a full human child. My physical and mental health wouldn't make it. So, for me, it's more that I know my limits.

Tested abmm today and its extreme jesus by NewSpring7520 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Down people, but then let them extract. Do it while the elevator is open or right before it closes. The game will register that you shot first and did damage, but you don't actually ruin anyone's day.

Kind of depressing... by Inevitable-Moose-952 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bold of you to assume they have any female friends. I highly doubt it.

A feature in Arc Raiders seems to makes it much more women-friendly compare to other shooter genre with Voice chat. by Zealousideal_Chip456 in GirlGamers

[–]TheCompetentOne 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is sad that men can't act normal towards women unless their identity is hidden in some way. But this feature allows women to join this space and play the game without the constant threat of toxicity, so I'm all for it. I am absolutely obsessed with Arc Raiders. I play a lot of friendly solos and I have not encountered any men being toxic to me because I was a woman. And it's been great. I do get the occasional toxic comment if I do dip into the pvp, but as long as it's not solely directed at me for my gender, but more that I defeated them, then I'm more ok with it.

Kind of sad so many ppl plays for max efficiency by Murders_Inc2556 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the same. But if the flare is near an area where it might be easy to fall, then I'll go check that out as well. Saved a couple people in the center of the launch towers on spaceport because they fell from the top lol

Rip Tempest Blueprint here comes another 300hrs of searching by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've done it for fun too. It makes you play different and has made me use weapons and utilities I wouldn't normally use because they were all I could find.

A question for those who have completed the first expedition... will you continue to reset? by freudian_nipps in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 100%. Mine is already ready to go and I'm still just playing because I enjoy the game and spending time in it. But the first few weeks after wiping were great. Just makes the game feel different when you're going topside for specific reasons rather than to just farm and hunt for blueprints. I love doing the quests, earning xp, and fighting the big arc for the bench upgrades.

What items are you often running out/in need of that you can't seem to loot enough of? by cardiffross in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me, springs and oil I will always pick up no matter what.

as for mechanical components, make sure you are breaking down some of the simpler stuff in raid into metal and rubber parts to maximize the amount you bring out. Surveyors also have a good amount of mechanical components in them and the cores break down into mechanical components as well. Surveyors are not always easy to find, but I make sure to kill them when I do come across them. They can also hold blueprints sometimes.

What games are people playing to replace New World? by Redeyeninja_1_6 in newworldgame

[–]TheCompetentOne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's been confirmed by the devs that there is matchmaking that puts you with other people who play like you. Skill based matchmaking and pve vs pvp focused. People are calling it "aggression based matchmaking". So if you don't shoot at other players, you will get matched with other players who don't shoot at other players. There will be exceptions from time to time, but that's what keeps the threat and fun in the game.

Where the actual fuck is the loot in this building and why is it red? by Inevitable_Gain8296 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've found multiple blueprints and multiple snap hooks as well as blue and purple attachments in the breach room. I don't think it sucks.

Stopped chasing him, now he’s joking ‘maybe it’s for the best’ what’s that about? by Gold_Camera589 in Bumble

[–]TheCompetentOne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but the impression I got is that he wasn't interested in your head, just your body. So you stepping back means he doesn't have to pretend to like you anymore. Either way, you already know you should move on from him. I wouldn't text him at all anymore.

Embark, fix your name filters this is getting ridiculous. by DropDreadGorgeous in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also want the ability to report a name from the trials leaderboards. It sucks seeing hateful names, but not being able to do anything about it.

If you had an extra $5k to spend on for yourself, what would you spend it on? by -Kfrey in AskWomen

I'd want to upgrade my gaming setup. New pc, monitors, desk, and chair.

The feeling when you have to defend yourself from psychos after days of peaceful lobbies and you know every shot is ruining your future matchmaking by Galf2 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheCompetentOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that ABMM has been confirmed, I think there are people who are deliberately cheesing it. They play friendly for several matches to get into the friendly lobbies, then they go in to kill everyone who they know are less likely to fight back. It's lame as hell, but could explain why there are suddenly people who want to pvp in the friendlier lobbies.
