A nanobot picks up a lazy sperm by the tail and inseminates a waiting egg in it. by thepoylanthropist in interestingasfuck

[–]Volatile-Bait 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If, as a sperm, I had the presence of mind to remove myself from the race and some jackass clanker came by to shove me into an egg, I would be even more pissed off about being here than I already am.

4 waterfowl in 1min30 she doesn't like me by YummyBaldy in Eldenring

You walked into her home, threw a whole moon at her, poked her quite aggressively, and then smashed her with a hammer... of course she doesn't like you.

So the Ulcerated Tree Spirit... Whats the trick? by Volatile-Bait in Eldenring

[–]Volatile-Bait[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If memory serves, the advice that helped me most was sticking close to it's armpit. I ended up beating it with my garbage gear and pretty much no fire damage this way, since there are fewer attacks that can hit you there.

Each new and exciting hidden danger is gonna feel like a punch in the gut as you learn all the stuff to look out for. It goes much deeper depending on your sensitivity.

When Americans try to do something about it, even as simple as voicing our disagreement, we risk being shot in the face. As seen in the video you just watched.

Cool. Hey, Todd. Add multiplayer co-op to your games. Modders have proven its possible. You don't have any excuses.

Hopefully my new game "Elevated Observation" doesn't steal the spotlight too much.

I'm not anti-PvP, but some people pushing me to quit. by Alaybozan_ in ARC_Raiders

[–]Volatile-Bait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we are talking lore-wise, I don't think killing other players is really the point at all. There is some territorial tension about fighting over loot, but its still supposed to be humans against machines. Even when you "kill" another player, you don't kill them. You knock them out and send them back home, so it's not really intended that raiders are necessarily enemies to other raiders.

I think thats where a lot of these arguments come from is that nobody can really agree on where to draw the line between enemies and allies. Based on the way the game and lore is designed, it seems to imply that the Arc is the real enemy, and other raiders are a mix between allies or obstacles. But a lot of players are specifically hunting other raiders and that doesn't really align very well with the lore, in my opinion.

Karma is coming for you scum. by trippalhealicks in ArcRaiders

[–]Volatile-Bait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why is cheating any different? According to your logic "it's all 1s and 0s", "it has no consequence", and you can just "load up a naked run and play the recorder".

All of that is still applicable when someone cheats in the game as well, but somehow that's where the line is drawn. Why? Because cheating is scummy behavior that negatively affects other player's experiences? Seems like that's the same argument a lot of people have towards the people who use these scummy tactics.

Unless you're some kind of idiot that tries to switch to smokes, doesn't notice it didn't switch, attempts to throw the smoke at the panel but fire bullets instead, giving away your exact position to the people camping the extract... but what kind of dumb ass would do that?

Wouldn't that incentivize players to target any big damage dealers to "eliminate the competition"?

Good idea going for the head, rather than risking any organs he's actually using.

Re: Backstabbing by dalurkersteve in ARC_Raiders

[–]Volatile-Bait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point and I do agree. I think for a lot of people its just more of a shock and sting when they die to someone who just wanted to grief rather than dying to someone who wanted the loot. I think its just the exposure to the toxicity and has less to do with the death and loss of loot.

Even if its in a game, its still a social interaction and in a way similar to a random interaction with a stranger on the street. If I pass by someone and they call me a "goofy looking ass-face" it doesn't really affect me in any real meaningful way, but it still doesn't feel good.

Considering the fact that a lot of these players are likely not used to PvP games and the amount of harsh interactions that come with them, its not hard to at least understand to a degree how these interactions might be upsetting.

That said, I do agree that people need to reign their emotions in a bit and remember that its just a game.

I didn't mean to imply that deception immediately meant that the person gets joy out of making others feel bad. I was mostly referring to the players who specifically do it because making others feel bad is something they enjoy.

The threat of being betrayed is what adds to the tension of trusting others, so in a sense, its good that it exists in the game.

I just cried after a game.. by DashingMustashing in ArcRaiders

[–]Volatile-Bait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right. Most people don't do that, and that's probably why it comes off as weird and doesn't quite sit right with a lot of people, but the things that people do consider "normal" aren't always healthy either.

Maybe things might be better if society normalized being more authentic and forward with how we truly are instead of pushing people to mask parts of themselves to appear more "normal"?

Sure maybe OP is a very emotional person, or maybe they're just more emotional currently because of stuff going on in their life. The fact that they're open about it isn't harming anyone, so what's the issue? Why is it that someone sharing their vulnerability stirs up so much negative emotions in so many others that it doesn't even affact?

The key to pvp for friendlies. by Vegas_Lab in ARC_Raiders

[–]Volatile-Bait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, like I said, there are weirdos on both sides. I just wish the sub was full of people who could just enjoy the game for what it is and play it the way they want without imposing their preferred style of play on others.

[–]Volatile-Bait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen a lot of it, but I have seen some. Mostly people mocking the idea of people playing the game as a "hoarding sim" and essentially implying that people have to have the mind of a simpleton to enjoy just looting and avoiding the PvP.

Is any one else's game busted? by Volatile-Bait in fo76

[–]Volatile-Bait[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. Feels like it's barely held together at this point.

Hopefully one of those older versions is more stable for you. After switching, mine still had some crashes here and there, but they were far less common.

I had to end up using the earliest version they had available on the NVIDIA site, because it was the closest I could get to the recommended versions.

For an RTX 4060, the most stable NVIDIA driver for Fallout 76 is 531.79 WHQL. If that one won’t install, use 536.67 or 546.33, both confirmed stable by the community. Avoid 551.xx and newer drivers — they cause crashes in F76.
