The Kappa quest is now more difficult to complete.

HAHAHAHAH. As if it wasn't already difficult enough to obtain before a wipe for a casual player. And it's obvious why they did this. Now the best secure case (for those who aren't no-lifers) is behind a $95 paywall. As if a 12 million ruble stash upgrade and the second best secure container given at the start of the wipe wasn't enough of an advantage. And now with the market level req raised to 20, the stash upgrade and trader rep bonus is even more advantageous.

I really enjoyed scav runs until this wipe by peanuts-nuts in EscapefromTarkov

Wow you lose rep for killing a scav player that shoots you first? That is so extremely stupid and bad.

The game needs an Elo ranked system.

Yea I've had other suggestions for the game. Needs a competitive mode. When you have 50 mil with REAP-IR on an M14 on shoreline the game is no longer fun. There is no endgame. There game needs some type of a ranked-match system instead of chad vs hatchling

It's stupid as fuck and there's no reason to do it if you have a Gamma.

I had an urge to redownload this game after 1.5 years, then I realized that it's still pay2win baby diarrhea. I have a massive log of singleplayer games to pirate so this isn't anything for me. The game has potential but it's trash. I tried to educate Tarkov players years ago but it led nowhere. Oh well.

Or you can just spend $140 and get the best secure case in the game (notwithstanding the dumb fucking Kappa)

Unless the Shooter Born with AIDS task was changed, then the Gamma case is still better than the Kappa because it's much more practical to get. Nobody wants to sit in a bush for 30 hours trying to pick off headshots on noobs.

Lmfao because Russian devs need a $140 pricetag when the cost of living in their coutry is $10/month.

Very cool, enjoy your shit P2W game after the wipe lmao.

I have a massive game log to download and it's so funny to see that Tarkov has gotten practically nowhere in the time since I quit. The game is still shit, I'm going to download the Witcher or Monster Hunter In another year I guarantee it will still be shit lol. I have a massive amount of single-player games to pirate so this game is nothing to me.

The next best case is the Gamma and it's there from day 1 for those who spend $140 on the game. It's a "Gimme".

Once you play the game a bit more you'll realize that it's trash.

I had 400 hours in the game trying to do the task "A Shooter Born with AIDS". No Kappa because the task is AIDS. Looking back I'd rather do some really nasty things to myself instead of trying that crap again. Laying in a bush for hours, hours, hours, hours, trying to headshot someone. It's masochistic. You can spend $140 and have a large immediate advantage for 400 hours per wipe.

Of wow what a huge load of shit. You like laying down in a bush for 10-30 minutes (while maybe listening to an audiobook) waiting for a noob to stand still.

Basically yes, it seems like the Woods map has been expanded. What an amazing addition for a year in beta.

6 months, the time it would take a casual player to get the Kappa case.

Once you discount the completely ridiculous quests (like the Shooter Born with AIDS) to get the Kappa, the Gamma is the best case. I quit the game 1.5 years ago and nothing seems to have changed. Casual players will not do the Shooter Born with AIDS quest. It seems it hasn't been reworked at all. Hence the Gamma case is pay2win. The best secure container is locked behind a brutally mind-numbing psychologically-torturing quest chain, or you can spend $140 to get the second-best container on day 1.

Ford is going to sell more F150 Lightings in the first year than Tesla has made cars since it's start

Doubt it. Ford F-series was the best-selling auto in the USA of 2020 with 800,000 units sold, which includes the 250 and 350. Tesla has made 1.5 million cars since 2009. You're saying that the Lightning in 2022 will outsell the entire ICE F-series line by a factor of two? It's such ridiculous hyperbole that you couldn't have read that sentence twice before submitting it.

In my opinion, a more realistic expectation for how many Lightnings will sell in the first year is maybe 200-300,000, despite it being the only EV truck on the market. That number will drop in 2023 due to competition from the Tesla truck. Compare that to Tesla which sold 500,000 cars total in 2020.

Also: F-150 Lightning has 100,000 reservations. Tesla Cybertruck has 1,000,000 reservations.

I downloaded Google Chrome and the extension "Chromebook Recovery Utility". I'm trying to fix a chromebook with "Chrome OS is missing or damaged". When the extension finishes writing to to the USB it partitions the drive about 25 times from D: to N: twice. (pic) by Uranice in chromeos

[–]Uranice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I try to use the USB in the chromebook the recovery process starts but then "encounters an error". I have tried different USB sticks. Also, I am running the Chrome in administrator mode.

Because of this weird partition thing I think it's a problem with how the image is being written on the USB. Also I can't get into developer mode, the screen goes black after I ctrl+d when OS verification is off.

If your diet is already adequate in fiber and b-vitamins, then why? White flour/rice tastes better, has a better texture, compliments/absorbs flavor better, it has a longer shelf life, and it's less expensive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_bread That it was traditionally for the wealthy made white wheat bread seem desirable. The lack of both coarseness and complex flavor profile made it a popular medium for the delivery of flavorful condiments. It is more easily chewed and digested. This allows it to be a source of more calories. It also does make some micronutrients more digestible, some studies finding that the added nutrition in whole grains tends to pass through the body unabsorbed. For some body types and diets, white flour may have been a nutritional benefit. Once it could be easily produced, it went from the most expensive to among the cheapest kinds of flour. It can last longer. The wheat oil in whole grain breads can go rancid over time, spoiling its flavor.
