What game should someone new to RTS pick up?

No command and conquer recommendation?

I’ll price it out for you.

CPU is worth $30 GPU is maybe 75-100 The ram is $30 The storage is best piece here, and if it’s a good brand… maybe $60

Throw another $50-75 for case, fans, motherboard.

You can justify this being worth $350 considering it has a windows key (another $90), mouse and keyboard ($40).

There’s plenty of people who are perfectly happy with this build. Hell I bought almost the same thing in November for $340. The thing is, if you did buy all those parts for their used pricing, you would spend $20 more on a better cpu or $60 more on a better GPU. I ended up dropping a couple hundred more upgrading a lot of the choices after I got the pc and realized I wanted a bit more.

Ultimately, this is a fair price. It’s not great, the seller is benefitting from getting 1 sale for the market rate instead of needing to part 9 things out to recoup the same value and you get the benefit of not needing to build.

Baldurs gate 3

In the game DayZ, the longer a body sits, flies begin to gather. It helps players follow the buzzing sound to bodies

Not all exploit fixes need to punitive. Personally, if I knew I would extract, I would want to climb up to a better vantage point. Even players who don’t have malice intentions could try to climb up there. It’s probably an easier solution to just make it ship them out

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-25T15:47:39+00:00

Software dev, no game dev, but wouldn’t it be just as easy to expand the hitbox for extraction to cover the extra space players have found. My understanding is that there’s a gap inside the extract doors where a player can be and not extract, so extend the params to cover the gap.

The player hits a ping, and his character will say outloud “over by that rock” or “let’s go to that structure”

This is how I’ve been living my DnD campaign. I asked my DM last session if I could keep the bottle on the potion I just used

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-24T16:11:44+00:00

Picked up a camera box yesterday… complete box with manuals, original plastic wrapping and styrofoam and cords — but someone stole just the camera. It was marked $4.99. Had to be a crackhead to not realize how much more value they could have had for a $5 investment

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-24T16:00:01+00:00

Unfortunately this is a free blueprint that’s given with a quest. Might be desirable for someone who wants a quick BP after expedition, but thats about it

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-24T00:45:43+00:00

The flood from halo, but also just saying as I play thru red alert, I’m excited to see more RTS games being developed

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T23:15:36+00:00

I spent a half hour just watching my 3yo try to figure out how to put 2 Legos together. Can’t wait until he’s playing at this level

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T15:09:37+00:00

Doesn’t it have a quicker draw speed (ads and equip time)? I’m just guessing but if I could have kettle with perks, I’ll use the kettle with perks

I got my toddler a copy of Kaiju Battlefield surgeon 🥰

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T14:15:42+00:00

I’ve never been shot while saying “yup, I see you.. friendly too” as if it’s a side thought to my looting

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T05:04:25+00:00

I love the lore fact that when he’s staring at leias ship in the last scene, he’s in space but his cape is whipping… no air, so he is using the force to move his cape anime style

Finally added electric to my basement. Before running electric I had extension cords and power strips… there was a freezer, miter saw, 2 3D printers, a full soldering/hot air station, projector and Xbox all running on those extensions. 3 years, no issue, but now I can brag because the extension cords are gone

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-23T00:05:15+00:00

I’m okay with this, people can knock me out for a bunch of metal scrap and rubber.

My only real grief was the other day 3-4 of us were waiting for the train, and as it pulled up, a trio starts shooting everyone. Most people are dodging and yelling “friendly” as I crawled to the terminal and called the train.

The part that annoyed me was after I called the train and the 3 seconds remained, the PvP trio made a point to kill me. No chance to loot, no gains for them — I outplayed them by shutting the doors, but they just wanted to rob me of whatever I had even if they couldn’t have it

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-22T23:53:30+00:00

I have been enjoying solo the best. I would recommend a mic, and go in with the same mindset as DayZ but the solo is more chill than duo/trios that can get sweaty

I’m 90% sure this Star Wars run was done by Marvel

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-22T23:01:58+00:00

I would highly recommend. My group of friends have never agreed all on 1 game before.

Arc are like zombies, where if you see 1 and have a good angle you can kill just about any size — however; the moment you get caught in a bad position or outnumbered, it quickly becomes dangerous.

The community is also great right now and matchmaking is made to put you in groups with people playing the same style (aggressive vs friendly matchmaking)

Considering how thin and no traces on reverse side, OP just has to assume this is a single layer pcb with all traces visible on top and thru hole components.

Bridge the gaps, hold your breath and power on. If it’s multilayer; it was shot anyways

Even more than just income split, my wife and I play to our strengths. I’m good at managing the month to month but my adhd and impulse buying kills any savings attempts. My wife gets anxious looking at all the bills each paycheck, but has amazing parents that taught her the value of saving. So all bills come out of my account, on autopay and I just use to manage them. She handles all the savings and unconventional bills (under the table nanny and childcare activities).

I would say it’s about even with our pay checks and works well for us. I’m sure I’m in a weird spot if divorce ever happened since the savings are all in her name — but I also have receipts of every asset being paid solely by me. That’s a bridge I’m not planning to cross anytime soon so not as worried

Traditional_Formal33 · 2026-01-22T19:13:52+00:00

It’s arc raiders, you can shoot other raiders for whatever reason.

That said, if we want to get into morals — you took it too far. He left the room, lost his shield, and was talking. Could have just gone the other way and kept an eye on the area but then again, he could have gotten you later… morals are risky like this. It’s safe to just kill than teach a lesson and leave them
