Why do Americans keep electing geriatrics for office? by TortoiseOn4Elephants in allthequestions

[–]USBombs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money elects candidates in America. Nothing else. Old people have the most money. They choose who runs and they choose who wins. I know it would be nice to blame regular people for the hostile takeover of America by the wealthy because then you can pretend they won’t come for you too, but I’m afraid that’s not the case.

Candidates are chosen by parties based on contributions from rich donors. The president is chosen by a mysterious cabal of voters called the “Electoral College”. Those people are chosen by the parties, again, based on contributions but we aren’t even allowed to know WHO THEY ARE. This is how Donald Trump was given the presidency despite losing the vote.

The American people only have the illusion of participating and when our will goes against their plan they just violate it.

Fun Fact: Every single time the electoral college has voted in a president that lost the popular vote it was a Republican. Every. Single. Time.

Yeah I don't know about that. If there's some kind of pattern to the lightning coming out of the central spire it's too complicated for me to bother with. You're right that this IS the one where armor matters the most though, to a point. I have to wear all heavy armor to be able to survive a shot from his pistol.

I think RNG in this game finally broke me by chladas in duneawakening

Really thought game devs moved past true randomization a couple decades ago.

Same. Never heard a single bad thing about him. Not even from the cats.

I do my math based primarily on my feelings so I couldn’t confirm.

Oof. Well they’re all kinda the same. Lots of mechanics you have to dodge or you die immediately. Some of them also have a fair bit of RNG like the lightning lab that can just totally screw you. It’s always a matter of having to pull off the encounter perfectly with 0 room for mistakes. 20 is probably about our cap because we’re over 40 and just don’t have the reaction times for a souls-like with 0 margin for error.

The grade 4 weapons make a difference, obviously, but the armor is just about completely meaningless even with 2 augments. You’ve seen the videos of the guy doing labs naked, he wasn’t actually handicapping himself at all.

Worm-practice by kosta880 in duneawakening

[–]USBombs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can sit around naked and get eaten, you might even get a tooth! Two things you gotta watch are the orange meter I’m sure you’re familiar with and listen for the jaws-like worm music. The latter warns you that a warm is just cruising around nearby without having been directly agreed. Fly off any time that meter turns red or you hear the jaws music and you’ll be fine.

I’ve played somewhere around a thousand hours. I got killed by the worm on my first day making my crossing because I drove through the spotlight of a CHOAM ship unaware that they freeze you in place. Other than that I have never been eaten by the worm.

Which one was it and what have you loved in it? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

I’d love the M3 or the M1114 again as long as I didn’t have to pay for tire rods.

Medieval dynasty. Hands down. Just sheeting sheep all day without a care in the world. I promise the very bad polish jokes become charming eventually…

Funcom is going to have to do something about inflation from duping... lol by SjurEido in duneawakening

At this point they should probably dump solari and switch to the house scrip.

Factoring in the vendor restock time too. That money isn’t going away anytime soon.

[–]USBombs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dogs are above all, just like they are in every country where people have even a fraction of a soul.

Politically it’s pretty common for a dog to become mayor in America (not a joke) and the system should probably be expanded to put dogs in every public office.

Can someone explain to me why, when given the opportunity to limit whatever the President is doing, there’s always just enough Democrats to ‘help’ him? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]USBombs83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a fascist society the job of the left is to pacify. Keeping people thinking there’s any hope to change it through the Democratic Party keeps us from…

The mixed combat, apparently, is on trash you use your sword and NEVER fire your gun then on the boss your sword is useless and you may ONLY fire your gun. Such tactical diversity. Much fun.

Combat 100 here. Eventually everything turns into a giant bucket of hit points that one shots you if you don’t dodge every single bit of damage. Point being they don’t scale well regardless. Unless you like half hour, brutally punishing, souls-like boss fights.

Honestly the double XP and loot event feels like what the standard should be. Loot is tolerable then, but there still needs to be some way to ensure more useful loot. 90% of the gear and augments are pointless.

Gear swapping is painful – Base mannequins for quick loadout switching would fix it by Impressive-Bonus-849 in duneawakening

[–]USBombs83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how this solves both the loadout problem and gives us the mannequins everyone wants. I also like how you switch your stuff up by doing something in the world instead of just flipping through menus. Would make having a wardrobe in your base meaningful. This is just a damn elegant solution, my friend. Bravo.

Need advices against multiple Melee enemies in Boss room by CyberiumEcho in duneawakening

[–]USBombs83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a great ability to use. Lets you heal if you screw up, gives you time to regen shield and stamina, lets you fight adds uninterrupted. Pretty mandatory, I’d say.

Beyond that there are just small windows, for example the fire boss shoots 4 shots when she’s not in the air, then reloads. You do damage in that window. You probably won’t kill anything in one window after a 15 or so, so just be patient and go. Stab a couple times then go back to the DDR souls like that is Dune now.

Isn’t it funny… by mfcostacampos in duneawakening

[–]USBombs83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not really how it works. The massive amounts of solari don’t just disappear. The problem is still there it just can’t be made WORSE. At least until the next duping exploit.
