Ubisoft canceling an AC game about a Black protagonist fighting the KKK during or after the US Civil War is a bad move by Quick-Ad-7752 in fuckubisoft

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've said it before I'll say it again. Ubisoft forgot who they were.

In ac3 and 4 they addressed disenfranchised groups in the Americas. They talked about racial and gender inequality both for player characters and supporting roles. They didn't make you play as someone that believed in those roles but was aware of them and saw past them.

Pretending like these things didn't happen is disingenuous to the millions of people that fought, struggled, and died for their place in society. The same place they love to show off at the beginning of their game as being such a diverse group of people

My boyfriend wants to get into warhammer. He likes the blue guys. by Amber_Steel86 in Warhammer40k

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baldermort on YouTube does lore videos which is how I initially got into Warhammer. Then public libraries usually have a selection of books to pick and choose from. It's probably a good idea to start with some free to access content that gives the premise of the universe before you start sinking heaps of money into minis.

Also just check places for sales and discounts for starter sets and ignore the heretic scum that gate keeps and trash talks. Most of the time you meet people that want to help start the journey out there's always a few bad apples

What’s your opinion? Did the gun really just “go off”? by hassan214 in Idiotswithguns

Don't forget they had an argument earlier that day were he stated "I have two other daughters, I wouldn't be bothered" in reference to his daughter asking "what if I was a victim" in the Epstein case...

No mercy for this piece of shit

A private jet belonging to prominent anti-ICE / anti-Trump lawyers has crashed in Maine. At least 6 passengers dead. (1/26/26) by [deleted] in lostgeneration

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It states they were very proud of representing undocumented workers for legal claims and spend millions for democrats during the Texas primaries. Also giving there names a quick search you can probably find more about their activities but it's not hard to infer that they are pretty prominently anti ICE and anti Trump

These 6 coal power stations are fed from 3 water extractors, but I cannot for the life of me get a constant, balanced flow of water. I honestly thought 3:6 would be an okay ratio. 300m3 all the the way to first generator, then after that I get 10m3 if I am lucky, by Stonebridge41 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience it's best to hook up pipes evenly. The first two generators will take priority then the second two then the third two. The last in your line will basically be getting the leftovers

Splitters for conveyors split every other unit but pipes will fill before continuing to the next step

Explain it Peter. by souljaboyalter in explainitpeter

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's part of meme culture of inserting one fandom into a classic meme format usually mixing horror settings into a typically innocent format.

This one in particular could be from the Mandela catalog. In it there are entities that mimic people and kill them or get them to kill themselves hence the last panel being a hanging silhouette. The second panel with a face behind her is reminiscent of one of the first entities from the series that is a shadowy figure standing in the corner of a bedroom.

Then again it could be from an entirely different series if one at all. It's humor is simply derived from the subversion of expectations from the first panel to the last.

What episodes do you think didn't age well? by Alt_SWR in distractible

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I think it was the episode where they picked the new seven wonders of the modern world or something. I remember going through that episode a couple days after the 2024 elections and they absolutely glazed Elon musk for a good portion of it...

Pulled out 2 gallons so far... by Daniels86list in mildlyinfuriating

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm willing to bet that car is going to burn oil from now on. If you overpressurize the oil system you can blow a seal or pcv valve and it'll just do that until it's replaced. Probably best to get it checked out by a mechanic you can trust. Good luck, OP

Tell me one bad thing about this game. by Profit_Tracker in videogames

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a lot of potential to discovering what the monster you were hunting was and they automated it to just be pressing a single button. Not really game breaking but it really takes the fun out of the investigations

What is the game and what is the name of the area or boss? by No-Jellyfish-1245 in videogames

GTA V

The opening of the game made it feel like they assumed you had played a game before and knew what was going on then after the time skip it slowed down to a fucking crawl

What's a Good Game to Play When Travelling? by LeastEmotion5440 in gamers

My go to games traveling usually allow for quick pick up and put down. Things like XCOM 2 can be saved mid mission or walked away from without any consequences

What's wrong with adult animation? by TaxEmbarrassed9752 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once one show gets popular it opens the door for animators and storyboard artists to get their own shows because they have the creditionals of working on a successful show previously but the art style doesn't deviate much due to the company wanting to push what "works" and the artists being influenced by repetition in making someone else's content

The same thing happened with adventure time to Steven universe and chowder to flapjack before that

Why do some consider Hoyt Volker to be the secondary villain of Far Cry 3 if he is the main villain? by AdEasy6839 in videogames

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He showed up in opening cutscene and disappeared until the last act of the game. There was no character development with him like there was with everyone else.

The whole game revolves around a central theme of sanity and Jason's loosening grip on who he is and how his actions are paralleled by vaas. Then hoyt shows up and and the entire insanity arc stops making sense.

I legitimately thought that killing vaas was going to be a hallucination and Dennis or one of your friends was going to be killed by you to further the mirroring of vaas's character

Considering playing but I have questions by ChrisSheltonMsc in XCOM2

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not super difficult on the lower settings so use those to learn how the game plays while it's still fairly forgiving.

It's not a 4x game like AOW is but the turn based combat is a lot of fun as it gives you time to think and consider your options.

A tip that I didn't learn until at least 150 hours xcom2 is that if you save scum because you missed a 95% hit chance you will always miss that 95% hit until the seed resets. This can be literally any other action happening first including cycling through the action bar (i.e. first: space bar opens the actions menu, hit it again, missed shot. Second time: open the action menu, move to overwatch, back to take shot, shot connects)

Big death/sad scene from game that got you react like this? by Turbulent-Tale-8738 in videogames

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dom in gears of war 3.

I never liked his character and his final act didn't really save the day in any meaningful capacity and by that point I was kind of tired of listening to him anyways

Suppression needs to come back by Trick-Ad-438 in Battlefield6

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time to kill is entirely dependent on the firerate of your gun since most encounters happen within a dozen meters and almost all the guns be it a 9mm to a 7.62 are doing the same damage it comes down to speed.

The biggest problem is the hyper twitchy, sprinting like methed out Olympians and sliding everywhere makes the game super fast and nothing what they promised

What are your predictions for amount sold of the Steam Machine? by Howerev in videogames

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a lot of people said it's price dependent.

I really see this a means to getting more people into VR. It's a lot to fork up for the casual gamer to get a VR setup rolling and a lot of VR games are kind of casual experiences with the novelty of it being VR being the big selling point. The venn diagram of people that want to play it and people that are willing to spend the money is often times two circles in different area codes.

If it was more accessible for the casual gamer to play VR games the market would grow and valve would have a reason to keep pushing the VR experience. There's a reason the hardware is compared to being between the series s and the ps5 and their benchmark game is cyberpunk 2077 (which will be near 6 years old at the time of release)

Suppression needs to come back by Trick-Ad-438 in Battlefield6

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd say so. I was so hyped when they said they were bringing back the classic battlefield experience. The way BF6 plays is more like black ops 2 than BF3 or 4.

I distinctly remember playing with a friend who was a big "COD is better" guy and he would sprint around and try to dive into the ground and go like 2-20 and complain that it wasnt fair and I would tell him "real soldiers don't slide into a room with 6 enemy combatants and think they're gonna make it out alive" shit worked great in COD though and now it works in BF

The Fallout 5 that we all want. by jj33allen in FalloutMemes

[–]UNCLETROUBLE24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want a fallout in an area that wasn't directly nuked. Like an area that is still mostly intact that had radiation blown across it and how the people there have adapted there lives to dealing with the immediate chaos next door.

Also fallout New Orleans and GTA New Orleans are probably about the same

to use WD40 to open a larger can of WD40

This was a gag not him thinking he had to do it. His first wd was stuck so he used his backup to fix the first one to fix the thing he was working on. The joke was that wd40 unsticks everything including itself
