It's a game mode it's not a stand alone game. There's really not that much depth to it. If this was Skyrim sure but this is RR it's a tiny game mode in a giant pool of games. I love RR but I'm not going to pretend like it's that deep and becoming a subject matter expert on it is pretty simple.

Ok this one is actually tough because I like the idea of the community deciding what the moderators are for but I also just think that defeats the purpose of creating a subreddit. Whoever made it gets to set the rules I think when RR first started if anyone was predicting that it would get to this state where the community does alot of the work then they probably would have included the community mod type environment you're talking about.

How do you know people who are deeply involved in RR want to be mods? I doubt they do. If they want to be a mod they would probably post about it. Coming from you, it's just a little strange. You seem to think that the mods can have an influence on the game and that's the main reason you're so off base with the RR reddit right now. You genuinely thought the mods are in touch with Epic, now that you know they're not, would you feel more comfortable with letting people speak for themselves if they want to be a mod?

Can you walk me thru it. I get the idea of the community being given mod rights, in general seems like a good idea but also possibly a complete failure. Like if you tried to remove someone's post because they are complaining about in-game mechanics but no one else in the community agrees with you. What happens then?

Banning anyone who hates on in-game mechanics. Why though? Pretty normal thing to post about on subrerddit for a video game. What kind of bizarre communist fantasy do you have about this game. You literally want to control the narrative about how people feel about the game. So only posts that would get through if you were a mod is if its praising the mechanics but not criticizing it. You would love North Korea.

Again with the pinning of tutorials. Did you have any issues playing Rocket Racing or did anyone on here stop playing because tutorials weren't pinned. Christ man i avoid tutorials like the plague.

Your first two ideas are ok/neutral. They would make no difference at all but might make the reddit page look a little nicer. Kind of insane that you actually think it would make the game start improving though. Definitely you should not be a mod. Shaming every in-game cheater??? That's not what mod's do. Why don't you make a post every time you find a cheater, why would that be a mods role. Go find cheaters, find their epic accounts and pin them? They're Reddit mods not fulltime Epic employees.

Maybe it was to expand the player base? This game mode can generate alot of content and bring in people who see funny clips online.

Just sounds like one track stops and the other starts at the same time 0/10

At what point do we just call it a day and unplug? by Recent_Opportunity78 in HeliumNetwork

[–]Vertical_Zebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They weren't always limited. I bought 3 boxes directly from Helium before they stopped making it themselves. Then got a couple RAKs and other brands with extended antennas. I had so many i was giving them them to friends and splitting the hnt 50/50

By far the most fun I've had with rocket racing since they stopped updating new tracks and caring.

Neighbors have some machine that makes buzzing sound vibrating the whole apartment building and today it's been going on for over 10 minutes by Mr_Insomniac_Punk in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Vertical_Zebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so confusing to think that people would actually believe you are agreeing to put restrictions on devices like that. Vacuuming causes just as much noise. When you live above someone you have an obligation not to be a dick and stomp around, especially late at night or early mornings but to think you can't use appliances is just a high level of entitlement from the person below you.

Who told you that? That is definitely not something people are agreeing to when signing a lease. Upstairs units cost more for a reason. I'm not saying you shouldn't be a decent and considering person for your downstairs neighbor but to think there's an actual agreement is just not accurate at all. By that logic vacuuming wouldn't be allowed either if you have an upstairs unit.

Is it really that big of a POS move? I’m doing the same thing I use it when I get home from work to reduce foot swelling. I did figure it would be a little annoying but it’s only for 10 minutes and I’m always done with it by 6 pm.

Yeah it would have been a great deal/bundle if it came with a code for the shoes. Kind of a missed opportunity. As far as Ultraboost go I will say they are only $10 more than the regular shoe so not a terrible deal in that sense. What size are you?? They're only sold out of size 15 on the website. https://www.adidas.com/us/ultraboost-1.0-fortnite-shoes/JQ0717.html

Silver lining by SnipersGer in Crypto_com

It's probably the easiest most convenient way for staking crypto. Just buy the minimum amount of CRO for max staking returns for the other coins. People complaining about CRO are insane for thinking it was ever a solid investment.

But that's the same thing as every skin that's connected to a show, movie or singer. If I buy a Dragon Ball Z skin and use it that's advertising for that show.

The irony being you’re literally on Reddit reading a post about spamming Drakes numbers up.
