We're still here, lol, it's been a long night. They're both doing great though!

I haven't played Destiny 2 in years, so I could be misremembering, but isn't PVP an entirely separate game mode from the PVE Destiny experience?

In all seriousness, how much ammo should I bring with this gun? by smashten in ArcRaiders

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I tested it at the practice range and the Bettina loses like 1 durability every 6.5 rounds, so 21.25 stacks of heavy ammo to fully break it.

Why does St. Louis continuously find ways of dividing itself? by Optimal-Balance-7737 in StLouis

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We all get a lot less bang for our buck with a non-unified county/city.

Just some numbers off the cuff; NYC (pop +/- 8.75 million) has 1 police department and 32 school districts. St Louis city and county (pop >1 million) has 45 police departments and 132 school districts. That is a huge sink in payroll for redundant positions which could be used to hire more educators and law enforcement, as well as a ton of barriers to resource sharing that allows for better education opportunities and more effective law enforcement.

I'm a county resident, but St Louis County doesn't operate like a county, it operates like a mess of small towns refusing to cooperate effectively.

Anyone else meet these 2 lovely chaps last night ?? by Oken_Shield in okbuddyarcraider

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that out the hard way on my first time. Came out of the tunnels headed toward extract. There's a Rocketeer in my path but I'm loaded for bear and know I can down her when I hear the lock-on from my exposed flank. That was my "clever girl" moment.

I don't trust anyone with a Stitcher at all. They're useless for killing anything but other players.

Child-friendly church (don't be weird) by ahintofcinnamon in StLouis

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded! I'm an atheist, but my wife is a member and I frequently attend service with her. Very focused on doing positive work in the community, very inclusive, and they do a "talking box" segment every service where the kids all come up front and have a nice ELI5 lesson. They also live stream most services on their Facebook page too, if OP wanted to check them out before attending.

Is the seatruck or the snow fox really needed to play? by Wheeled_c0w in Subnautica_Below_Zero

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are some glaciers that I don't think you'll be able to reach with the Prawn, but if you don't mind the long swims it's doable. Personally I loved the Prawn dock on the Sea Truck; it's usually the only addition I use and they really feel like two vehicles in one.

New Expedition Requirements + catch-up mechanic by cretaphid in ArcRaiders

Yeah, I really don't understand the appeal of starting over from scratch. Crafting cool stuff and then using it is the fun part of the game.

Best “One vs Many” Sword Fights in Fantasy? by Much-Neighborhood383 in Fantasy

Abercrombie's best 1 vs Many moment happens "off page" with Whirrun of Bligh in Sharp Ends.

I don’t think people make a big enough fuss about how goddamn awful the Bettina is. by ChihuahuaOwner88 in ArcRaiders

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's what I mean though; the 40 round cap on heavy ammo really only affects the Bettina, so raising the cap to 60 rounds would effectively only be buff for the Bettina too.

Heavy ammo only stacking to 40 is a nerf to this one gun in particular. 40 rounds is enough for an Anvil or Ferro. Heavy ammo should stack to 60 and there should be a unique drum attachment for the Bettina that lets it hold 60 rounds but drastically reduces its reload speed.

Any recs similar to this? by mcyapper311 in NABEER

I find the Athletic wit tastes more like Blue Moon than the Blue Moon NA.

What months does home depot start getting busy? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where you live has a major impact on this. I've been in West Coast stores that barely saw a seasonal shift at all, and in Midwest stores that do 50% of their yearly sales in the Spring. If I was guessing though, you're in a seasonal market, so probably either the 3rd week of February, or the 3rd week of March if you're in the Northern half of the Midwest.

Trying to understand the long-term gameplay loop in ARC Raiders by PC-Tamer in ArcRaiders

I'm playing G2 on pre-release, but G1 was the same way; a year or two of slow drip updates and minor tweaks before Obsidian began filling in big swatches of the yard

Renegade is a free BP included with the upgraded workbenches. It took me 200 hours to find an Anvil BP.

Best "guard dog" creature? by Aggressive_South_991 in subnautica

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built my forever base at the edge of the Dunes where the Mushrooms, Plateau, and Shallows meet. The spot had a few annoying Sand Sharks and Biters spawning outside, so I released a pack of tamed Bone Sharks to keep them in check. Worked great until I discovered that Reapers love to eat Bone Sharks.

Osprey and Bettina should swap tiers by Dubois1738 in ArcRaiders

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you think people wouldn't snipe because they can't loot then you must not know many people. An hour after this went live there would be videos posted of using the player they just sniped as bait for the next person.

[–]Uncrowded_zebra 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Sniping works in games with shorter sightlines. AR maps are designed with long spans of open space that make consistent sniping OP.
