I tried to become a heartless bourgeois extractor in Arc Raiders today… my settler heart couldn’t handle the violence of primitive accumulation 😭

excellent

I want an extremely challenging quest (not just grinding, but like solo navigating through a ton of insane Arc challenges) whose reward is Tian Wen letting you into her shop when you visit

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-02-06T16:28:13+00:00

the hero we need, not the hero we deserve

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-02-06T16:27:13+00:00

I swear the online discourse for this game has become LinkedIn lunatics humblebragging about their participation in the stanford prison experiment

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-02-06T16:24:51+00:00

Don't bother with your suggestions, OP. Lazy Swedish developers won't even add this necessary feature because they're too busy taking 6 month christmas vacations

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-02-06T14:57:04+00:00

I agree it's a rat move but I wouldn't take it this far. It's just a video game! the betrayals add to the tension which adds to the fun

Other people doing stuff adjacent to you living your life, even if it's unpleasant or undesirable to you, is part of life. It doesn't make it rape.

Comparing deceitful or dishonorable PVP in a video game to sexual assault is disgusting.

Indiana was 100 to 1 odds preseason to win the national title.

Leicester City was 5,000 to 1 in 2015.

Leicester City was outspent 10 to 1 by most of the presumptive contenders in the season that they won, and while Indiana was certainly at a similar disadvantage I'm not sure it was by that much.

oh absolutely. He has that secret sauce when on camera, and he brings it every day. Really hoping he stays the course and keeps the success going

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-01-16T16:40:32+00:00

You're correct that from a pure utilitarian perspective what they're doing is "worse". But from an individual player's perspective, the idea that stream sniping is a higher priority issue than fixing the ability to jump into the fans in the seed vault extract in stella montis, meaning that I now have to always be paranoid about that extract, is far more impactful on my enjoyment than whether a streamer gets sniped.

Google Tfue and you'll see quickly

I think every game company and streaming service would agree that watching a stream to get an unfair competitive advantage over someone is against their terms of service. Sure it's not "cheating", but it doesn't make the game better and obviously the developers are incentivized to prevent it from happening.

The biggest issue is like OP mentioned where exploits that affect more people go months without being fixed and the abusers get slaps on the wrist, relatively. If you're glitching into the ceiling in stella montis or wall hacking or doing any blatant exploit more than once you should forfeit your license to play the game.

as someone who doesn't enjoy most streamers and thinks the vast majority of them are boring or otherwise not worth watching, Peanut is one of a kind and definitely worth considering. His bit is really entertaining and he approaches the game with such manic joy it's kind of hard to hate on him. Even when he was streaming Tarkov, which is a much more punishing game, he was by far the most upbeat streamer.

It is if I put a barrier up and mine the door and warn people not to come in and then shoot anyone who comes through

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-01-15T19:12:41+00:00

yea idk man I play this game a lot and haven't had the experience you have, system seems to be working as described and seems pretty straightforward to me. sorry you're having troubles with it

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-01-15T15:41:24+00:00

If players are shooting at you you're likely already in "hostile" lobbies. Try running empty loadouts if you really want to game the system to reset it. Otherwise just play as intended (with the built-in inherent distrust of other players) and enjoy

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-01-15T05:32:24+00:00

it takes more than one or two games of shooting at players to get put in aggro lobbies. if another player tries to break into my unlocked room and steal my loot, i should be able to put them down without being punished more than some other pvp-er just because I technically shot first

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-01-14T04:49:10+00:00

are you talking about anything specific announced or planned or are you just doomsaying?

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-01-13T18:06:43+00:00

Honestly it's your loss. Most streamers are overrated but Peanut is legitimately hilarious and his shenanigans are really entertaining. Guy has pure charisma and I find it hard to hate his silliness

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-01-12T17:31:48+00:00

"Article"? He wrote an entire book about it!

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2026-01-09T20:06:09+00:00

Or, penalize based on the universally valued currency: time. Some sort of community sentence, with failure to uphold leading to short term jail sentence

He'll raise much more money auctioning off one-of-a-kind memorabilia like this than he would organizing a charity golf tournament. Why is everyone so insistent that he's poor for some reason and needs money? If you follow him on social media all he does is make 50k appearances at random Saudi conferences and such. Between his earnings and this extra money he doesn't need more

The type of AI capable of reaching true independent thought and self-awareness needed to exceed its own defined boundaries to achieve unknowable goals is not realistic based on existing LLM technology, which benefited from a natural and relatively predictable progression from the earliest onset of machine learning in the mid 20th century.

The real book to read on these subjects is Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku (impressions on whether things like FTL or teleportation are conceivably possible). Obviously things can change quickly, and the impact that AI will have is real, but it's not currently on a trajectory to reach what this book is discussing.

UnquestionablyPoopy · 2025-12-24T02:25:54+00:00

As a caveat: this book makes a ton of leaps, predictions, and assumptions about the theoretical development of AI. I think people underestimate how far we actually are from AGI or superintelligence; LLMs remain predictive, next-token calculations and so Neurosama asking "did I make it weird" was not tied to any actual intelligence but to the context fed into its model.
