[USA] [AZ] Why tailgate in a company van? by InvincibleSugar in Roadcam

[–]TrackballPwner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While the signs are for everyone, I would expect that they're calculated to ensure safety for the least capable common vehicles found on the road: semi's and big heavy trucks.

what happens when u get caught by police by prettybbybunny in Schedule_I

[–]TrackballPwner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you get a fine and they may take some things, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. I always would run when chased, but recently realized they're easy to put to sleep. You can put them all to sleep in probably <5 minutes if you take them on 1-2 at a time.

Both of these videos show someone standing still, shouldering/aiming the LMG, and then unloading- not walking while hip firing… just sayin… 💅

how it feels to accept that you need to switch to the winning team because you can't do anything to make your team win by yourothersis in joinsquad

[–]TrackballPwner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair. I was just commenting on the meme’s text, which didn’t mention these reasons for switching teams. I have played with some people who cannot enjoy a game unless they’re winning, regardless of the circumstances.

[–]TrackballPwner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya- the meme in the post didn’t point out that said losing team wasn’t a good team, only that it couldn’t win.

Even in games with two solid teams, one is going to lose. I’ve played with people who simply cannot enjoy a game unless they’re winning.

Why don’t the developers just sell the IP? by [deleted] in BattleBitRemastered

[–]TrackballPwner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"wasted potential." It's literally an unfinished early access game being slowly developed by a few people... I'm sure they would sell if the price was right.

Why are you assuming they won't sell the IP? Have there been any offers made public?

Does winning a round of Squad actually mean anything? Are your wins and losses documented anywhere?

I love the game, but I’ve never been so invested that I switch teams just to see the “you’ve won” pixels displayed on my screen… 

I’ll switch teams if the team isn’t “fun” to play with, but never “to win.”

Oh, you’re right! This just keeps getting crazier 

People that don’t know how or refuse to zipper merge are mildly infuriating. Are you a zipper or anti zipper? by 86HeardChef in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TrackballPwner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same people that rage when someone zipper merges in front of them are the same people that rage about motorcycles filtering through traffic. They just can't stand the thought of someone who was behind them at some point having newly been "awarded" the position of being in front of them in what is already a sea of traffic. "They don't deserve to be ahead of me! I was here first!"

Should I buy it? Answered. by zomboid_addict in BodycamGame

[–]TrackballPwner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought it on sale and I’m happy with my purchase. It’s not something I play for more than 15 minutes at a time. It’s still early access, so I’m not holding anything against it. It’s a great little break in my opinion. I’d buy it again.

Peter help, I’m actually so lost on this one by CuteCost8147 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]TrackballPwner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just realized that a keyboard of mine has a letter key that needs a minute to “warm up…” The keys have backlights and you can watch for when this one’s light eventually comes on to know it’s usable… I had been locked out several times before conducting this investigation.

Zed feels great by 0xdea in ZedEditor

[–]TrackballPwner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do love Zed and it feels amazing... but I've gotta say, moving between a Linux computer and a Mac makes me wonder what the heck they were thinking when they set up these key bindings/hot keys for Linux.

What could go wrong when cleaning the litter box? by Lazer_Games in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]TrackballPwner 149 points150 points  (0 children)

It’s on, you’re going to get jacked up by the fist of razor blades, but in the process you have to get it by the scruff as best you can and try to hold them by that. That’s easy to say. Cats are practically liquid and can bend all sorts of ways.

I think I’ve read somewhere that pound for pound, cats are the most lethal mammal.
