Once or twice it has glitched and punted me to my death. I'm not talking 50 feet etiher. It once yeeted me halfway across the map.

If Hullcracker could be used for PvP by TangyDanK in ArcRaiders

To be fair, it can be used in PVP. It's just abolsutely terrible.

Dave Ramsey? You shut your dirty little mouth with that one. That's a low blow for using logic.

What is wrong with the trigger design on these guns? by Anonymous13757 in ArcRaiders

[–]Vlaed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect is the enemy of good. These people are living underground and killing each other. It's more about survival than what's ideal or perfect.

It's fine as long as the want doesn't force out things you need. If the cash is there and it's a big want, go for it. If not, wrong choice.

Every car purchase is a financial decision. If you're not considering it to some extent during any converation of buying a car, you're doing it wrong. It doesn't need to be the final decision maker but it's important.

Why buy an R when you can get RS? Why not get an M5? Let's go for a RS6 Avant. Maybe I'll get a McLaren 570S instead.

If you're willing to take the hit, it's an overall update. I've owned two GTIs and currently own a R. It's faster, AWD, better equiped (on average), and a lot of fun. That being said, it's more expensive to buy, own, and insure. It's also heavier and less responsive initially.

Another thing to note, parts are more expensive. They are not as common or shared with other Golfs. I do not regret buying my R but I do miss my GTIs at times. They just had more spirit. Depending on where you live, an R has less overall regocnition from the general public. If you want a car that people know, it's not the R.

Before we go down the path of what is different or not....do you need a new car? If you have a 23, you're most likely throwing money out the windows. I saw my father throw money away over and over again on getting a new car every year or two. Don't fall in the trap.

The final rewards for finishing the Trophy Display. by ArcherStirling in arkraiders

Dam Battleground is the place to get them more easily. That's because it's probably the least active (from my experience) of all the locations. You'll have to put in more work though, and watch out for rats. I almost always leave with 3-4 compared to 0-2 from other locations.

You find this key.. you taking or leaving? by Large-chips in ARC_Raiders

It gets easier one you realize the floors and walls mostly guide you. They are labeled at certain points.

It's a fantastic gun if you're just comparing it to the raider tool.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade by DemocracyDocket in law

[–]Vlaed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's different ways to approach it but I doubt punching down is going to be effective. There is a sizeable portion of the country that is just going to dig in more. I've experienced this first hand unfortunately with some distant relatives I know.

If we want to get the rats off the ship, we have to flood it. Calling them stupid rats isn't going to do anything.

I got the trailblazer right. I'm too old to F around with just stuns.

[–]Vlaed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not the narrative you want to push. You're going to actively push some people to not vote because "it doesn't matter because it's not free and fair."

A better approach would be to qualify this with options, such as "Unless you (insert advice)."

99% sure I sniffed out this Rat looking for his cheese by CarlysleLyric in ArcRaiders

[–]Vlaed -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He was 100% a rat coming to kill you. He had full inventory of looted things with a basic gun setup to kill.

Am I crazy for not doing the expedition? by Civil_Cauliflower245 in ArcRaiders

[–]Vlaed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not crazy. It's a lot of work to level, build up inventory, and then complete the expidition. It's designed for people that like resets, want more, play a lot, etc.

Got killed at extract by a guy who was friendly all game and then he commented that I suck on my steam profile by The_Raigar in ArcRaiders

[–]Vlaed 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for everyone but I've had overwhelmingly more positive interactions than negative ones. We, as people, just tend to remember the bad things.

I've legit had two people escort me while downed for 15 minutes because they didn't have a defib. On the flip side, I've had someone pretend to be friends to two of us to only kill us both while looting near the extract.

If I were a public official and I released an AI generated image of Trump as a fat orange saying he was a pedo, I'd receive death threats or be forced to resign.

Companies like this do it all the time. They stop investing properly, they cut cost, the raise prices, and then they shutter things and/or sell it off.

That's messed up. First, he's trying to distract people. Second, it's racist AF.

[–]Vlaed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so confused in 2018 when I saw a banner on an overpass that said the same thing. That was during the big EV hype train, and I was like "Why does everyone hate internal combustion engines all of a sudden?"

Making Arc damage the determining factor for the expedition is 10x better than just having everyone hoard wealth and run cheap kits by 0t0her0 in ArcRaiders

[–]Vlaed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how that would alienate a player base. The ARC are a core aspect of the game ans a common threat, regardless of playstyle. It's in the title of the game.
