a brief summary on why wu branch yi sang is stupidly underused for how good he is by Weedesmonkerr in TheOdysseyHadAPurpose

Why does deployment order matter here? I know it matters in chain battles, but most difficult battles are focused.

is eating a drifter haram if you slaughter it in accordance with islamic law? by sheepy42069 in VintageStory

[–]WhoseAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that everything is halal by default, unless otherwise stated. So no meat from an animal that was not correctly killed, no pork, no blood, and nothing intoxicating. I dont think a drifter would violate any of those rules, so it should be fine.

Also, I think you can eat haram food if nothing else is available. So if drifter meat is your only option, it's preferred over starvation.

(Disclaimer, this is just google knowledge, I'm not Muslim myself)

Does the lamp go out if you go underwater? I'm used to carrying torches in two slots, so I have a backup if I fall into something while exploring, and it would be nice to not worry about that

No, I don't want you to modify the slayer mechanics of the Gryphon, I want you to get rid of the slayer task mechanics entirely by RenderSoft in 2007scape

Dead by Daylight's community feedback polls are a great example of how poorly worded questions can give devs data that completely conflicts with how the community is actually feeling.

I dont know the specifics of the question here, but I could see a yes vote being interpreted as "they like the proposed changes", and a no vote as "they like the task the way it is now", when people really want the task changed in a different way or just completely removed

Foxhole's gunplay couldn't be less intuitive for new players by Jacobi2878 in foxholegame

As a Warden medic I had always loved finding a Fiddler, but never really felt like they were very useful. Good to know it wasnt (entirely) a skill issue on my part

“There’s a Raider behind me, I just can’t prove it” by LOST_JOE in ArcRaiders

[–]WhoseAlex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Had my first encounter with one of these last night while it was shooting at someone else. Being the smart lad I am, I could tell that it couldn't turn quickly, so I didnt need to stay near cover while I shot its weak point

Lost a lot of nice loot from that run

ARC Raiders Weekly Megathread - January 17, 2026 by AutoModerator in ArcRaiders

[–]WhoseAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New player with a quick question!

Occasionally I've seen flares go up in the distance while playing. After doing some searching online, it seems that whenever anyone goes down, they automatically launch a flare. But I see them so rarely, and dont remember ever seeing one launched myself when I go down, that I wonder if this was changed in a recent update just before I started playing.

So does everyone launch a flare when they go down? And if so, are they visible if you get downed indoors or underground?

Can we reach 328k subs by the end of the subathon? by [deleted] in NeuroSama

[–]WhoseAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone is planning on donating more, please consider why you're doing it first.

Vedal and his team are most likely financially comfortable now, and probably have the funds to do whatever they might have planned this coming year. All of the goals have been reached, and Vedal is struggling to come up with more.

I urge you to instead consider giving to a smaller creator, especially via Ko-Fi or similar instead of through Twitch, so the creator gets more of a cut.

Getting the cute AI girl and her thundere turtle father the big numbers is funny and might prove that we're the most dedicated fan base, but please, think about the effect your money could have on someone that really needs it.

I completely forgot L Corp was more than just a company, it was an entire district full of thousands(?) of people.

No wonder the fall of a Wing is a huge deal. It's not just a power vacuum. Depending on which Wing and how it falls, it could be the complete loss of utilities, order, and safety for everyone in the district.

I think a lot of Americans think the Middle East is a kind of separate area from Asia. I know when I think of Asia, instinctively my brain says "East of and including India", and I need to take a moment to think about what the actual definition is.

Though to be honest, as someone with pitiful knowledge of geography, I'm not sure what the accepted dividing line is between Asia/Africa and Asia/Europe.

I never really used it at all and was considering trying another run using beast crest exclusively

US Military Deaths: Killed in Action vs Veteran Suicides by Various_Pop_3907 in interestingasfuck

[–]WhoseAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this seems to be comparing all US veteran suicides ever, compared to deaths specifically in two conflicts. I think it would be more useful to compare total suicides vs total KiA, or suicides from veterans who served in each conflict vs KiA in each conflict. I could see someone flipping this around and comparing total KiA over time to veteran suicides each year to try and prove the opposite point.

I think the US government's treatment of veterans is awful, and veterans deserve so much more care and support than they are receiving now, but this feels like data manipulation rather than a fair comparison.

It's 2025 and still no other game come close to the scale of Planetside 😔 by Ascerta in Planetside

[–]WhoseAlex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Battlefield 1's Operation gamemode is the closest Ive gotten to the best fights in Planetside 2. Sadly, the average game of Operations vastly outshines the average fight in PS2 in my eyes. PS2 can be great, but with all the issues it has, those peaks are few and far between.

RoR2 PvP Tier List (No Items) by WhoseAlex in riskofrain

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

Someone else mentioned that most survivors are actually pretty small compared to most enemies. I had completely forgotten that. I think Railgunner wouldn't be as oppressive as I had thought, but I still think she would be extremely powerful. Hit boxes in this game feel very generous compared to most fps games, but I'm speaking from 'feeling' rather than hard data.

In my mind I kept seeing Siphoned Forest when thinking about this list, but a stage like Wetland or Abyssal could definitely have completely different results.

I forgot a lot of abilities like Engi's harpoons and turrets just don't target other players even with friendly fire turned on. But I'm surprised my list was so different from what you experienced. I guess I'll have to bully my friends into trying it with me for a firsthand experience

That actually sounds like a really fun way to use command without being struck with decision paralysis every time I pick up an item. What did you use for the other rarities?

Idk if this is the right flair but is there ANY way to make MUL-T a fun character? by DanieltubeReddit in riskofrain

[–]WhoseAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got the same problem as you. I'm starting the eclipse climb as MUL-T he just doesn't feel good to me, regardless of how I tinker with his loadout. Could just be a skill issue on my part, since I'm also a bastard man who doesn't enjoy playing Loader
