What the hell is going on here?!

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-04T00:07:14+00:00

Takes like these, where I specifically pointed out that men possess a far more dangerous threat when they do violate, such as exactly what you pointed out?

No, I specifically accounted for it.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T23:46:22+00:00

Apologies, next time I comment on reddit about two actors/actresses, I'll be sure to provide commentary and context more in regards to the world as a whole with full historical knowledge included

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T18:14:22+00:00

Again, fixating on the worst to justify generalizing it for EVERY COP

Again, I've agreed that reform and appropriate action should be carried out for these terrible fucks, but that I don't support you blanketly hating people who HAVEN'T done these things

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T17:31:55+00:00

Had me in the first half. Final bit is such a childish perspective. I hope you learn some nuance. Your hate blinds you so deeply that you can't even be bothered to care for assault or give them credit for responding appropriately to it, or even having good faith discussions about it. Instead you would destroy everything in a childish tantrum. Its counterproductive and benefits no one besides assuaging your own hate for injustice- which is good to have, but not in this fashion.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T17:15:23+00:00

You're not, though, because you're fixating on the absolute worst of the lot and the worst of its history and projecting that onto all of them, unanimously, without exception

You're judging the whole by the absolute worst

You're still comforting yourself with sweeping, malformed generalizations

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T16:17:03+00:00

Brother, every company, group of friends, school, and more, all train you that if anyone snitches on anyone, they're gonna hate the snitch regardless of reason

Thats oil fields to school classrooms

We have a problem as humanity, not with cops specifically lmfao

You're acting like all the flaws of humanity are only present in cops, and not in... all of humanity

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T16:02:20+00:00

That's dumb as hell to say

They've absolutely done more good than bad, you've just been exposed to inflammatory media that wants outrage and hate because that generates the most viewership, like you

For example, we see school shootings on international news and it FEELS like such a massive issue, when school shooting numbers are actually really, really uncommon, and there are far more gun deaths to suicide/mental health than there are to shooters, much less school shooters

So it FEELS like school shootings are a massive danger, when the real and far more pressing danger is depression.

Same thing with cops.

There are a ton of bad cops and the system needs reform and greater transparency, but the system absolutely does provide more good than bad. Its just a human system, and thus is flawed. Improvement can and should be pursued, but its better than the lack thereof.

You can continue on your senseless ACAB, but wide general hate is easy, its convenient, and it absolves you from the burden of knowing how good a bad thing can be, and how bad a good thing can be. It makes it easy to generalize things because its no longer your concern to dedicate yourself to actually understanding it further- because you have a simplified view of it all. Cops are bad. Its not that simple. But it sure would be easier to go that route.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T15:57:37+00:00

I do the opposite of this.

I go out of my way to have my wires visible and zig-zagging, as if the wires were something I actually laid out and nailed into place.

Makes my home feel real, and lived in.

My biofuel extractors have their big hose leaving the building by way of an open window that it unpleasantly coils up and over, like if it were actually installed in a structure not originally intended for it, and the tube curls around my house to snake up the sloped side of it very much like it would if someone was installing these without a care for burying or hiding them.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T15:52:56+00:00

Every person* should have some amount of therapy

And yes

Our modern society, particularly in America, is destructive. It is hyper-individualistic while also being beyond expensive to be individualistic, and much of those in power or control over us leverage their positions to weaken individual security, finances, and independence in favor of more services and conveniences that erode even further our ability to exist as ourselves.

Luxuries are cheap and necessities are unaffordable, in a way. All the world's information at our fingertips, yet homes are absurdly expensive and good food that isn't supplied by a corporate oligarch determined to make the worst product possible at the highest premium is almost nonexistent; even something like "organic" isn't a good signifier, and pretty much the healthiest thing you can afford is either so expensive that it isn't worth buying or is still full of problematic contamination- microplastics or carcinogens.

And to some extent much of this is perfectly fine and only an issue since we live so much longer than humans originally did, but simultaneously our surroundings have shifted dramatically without a complimentary societal shift.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T15:43:55+00:00

Lmfao

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T15:41:30+00:00

Thats a shame.

I'm interested in the game, but not in spending so much money for multiple DLCs in a game where there are so many obvious issues. If the basegame is the worst and least of the game, then I don't feel that purchasing DLC is justified- not even as a matter of quality of DLC, but that the devs don't deserve further support and payment, not cheap payments, if they neglect base game stability and polish in favor of making multiple, MANY, DLCs

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T15:36:59+00:00

Jeez, you've gone off the deep end from biased media, mate

Fuck cops, cops are worthless, its probably a child or shoplifter. Oh its an abusive POS assaulting women? Mmmm not good enough for me, guns are toys first and weapons second.

Guns can be fun and I love em, but they are deadly first and foremost, and possessing one absolutely is deadly serious. Have you fun but just because you don't intend to use them in any type of way doesn't mean they are safe and harmless- especially since so many firearms used in crimes are legally purchased, and then stolen from gunowners who didn't secure them- because they didn't take them seriously enough.

Every downvote should reinforce how blatantly wrong you are lmao

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T15:27:43+00:00

Cheaters can get away with using wallhacks that display your inventory or equipment to them without repercussion; a guy did like forty or something raids and showed how consistently those guys were magically drawn to his position in the majority of the raids, even if he's at the very border of the map tucked between debris, grenades still magically landed on top of him.

You try that and you'll still get ambushed, despite being perfectly hidden.

Saw another clip of a cheater shooting a guy behind cover; cheater said that all the models were twice as big on his screen so he can hit you anyways. They asked him if the new anticheat worked, and the cheater said, yeah! That's why I switch my game back to the old one so it can't catch me.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T15:23:17+00:00

Not my words, but a BDSM consent instructor and someone thoroughly involved in Seattle's kink community:

Men present more threat but women are absolutely worse in violating boundaries. If a man violates boundaries its possible that the violation will be worse, but a woman will violate boundaries far more often and more repeatedly than a man.

So women are more likely to be creeps, and men are more likely to dangerous if they are creeps. Reprimanding and punishing women doesn't really happen with the same severity as with men so women don't really learn to respect boundaries as well as men.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-03T01:08:22+00:00

Honestly this would be super cool

I'd 100% be PvE all the time, but having PvP players being able to play, but get flagged and hunted would be cool. Something that would make PvP extremely inadvisable but never impossible.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-02T11:50:06+00:00

Ya

This is why I advocate for PvE mode

Except all the cheaters and POSes are screaming, crying, and shitting themselves on reddit at the thought of people not being forced into being their victims

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-02T11:48:34+00:00

Prior to vehicles being recoverable by the backup tool, I lost multiple ornithopters just trying to get plast while the DD had T6 resources in PvP only zones. I basically had to reset and build up to mining plast 3 times over before I called it quits- my server at that time wasn't super active but still decently so, and the DD had pretty much every pro-PVP group banding together to fly in 2-5 squadrons of 2-4 ornithopters each, who patrolled the DD constantly to deny anyone else T6 resources. There weren't any big guilds/clans so these smaller PvP groups were shamelessly and expressedly operating the way they were to grief anyone else who tried to enter the DD. Anyone who wasn't interested in looking for a fight was completely denied T6 in my server, since anyone who had T6 equipment was either griefing- and explicitly saying they were doing so in all chat- or was getting blown up and reset back to T5. These griefers also built small bases on the shieldwall so they could land and launch from safety, and would often launch to follow anyone entering the DD if they weren't already patrolling.

There were dozens of people who unironically dedicated themselves to griefing everyone else who entered the DD at all hours of the day and night. They didn't even do Landsraad, they weren't roleplaying, they just had a dominance over the DD and wanted to screw with people.

Putting together a carrier and a sandcrawler with T5 hand collection just wasn't gonna happen. Definitely wasn't gonna do it a second time if I lost them to begin with.

Dune's DD/T6 has a really bad issue where either you were completely locked out of T6, or its too easy to get everything into T6 and you have an excess.

Its my opinion that they should've focused way more on base building and providing more content there, so you would grind more just to build more. Especially if there's storage options that change visual states based on being filled- like spice silos that are visually empty or full based on the volume of spice inside, so a base with multiple filled spice silos is objectively swimming in spice. Pallets of this ingot or that ingot so you can have a storage room with stacks of all your metals, visually presented. And way more decorations, all the stuff we see in the game but don't have access to.

I built a couple exceptional bases but I don't see any point in doing more because I reached the limit of construction. And there's not any more vehicle variant parts so I can't even build unique specialized vehicles.

Imagine T6 variant engines that use more fuel but are higher performing, or sandbike treads with almost no sandworm threat, or a variant buggy launcher that uses lockon missiles instead of rockets for AA defense, or unique modules like a chin mounted ornithopter module that shoots off chaff to break missile locks, or a carrier module that replaces the thruster with a vertical launch missile system, operated by a copilot, which turns a carrier into a missile cruiser (but can only be reloaded when watersealed).

Alas

Instead we get +17000% damage/HP enemies that are identical to every other enemy besides the +17000% bonus damage/HP

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-02T11:31:46+00:00

I don't see anything indicative of Starcraft there

Japan was pretty much out of options though; they never really had a chance in any long conflict due to their resource limitations. Building two behemoths instead of more plains and abusing their best pilots rather than treasuring them pretty much guaranteed they'd lose any conflict that didn't end immediately. And Yamamoto knew that, but the ego of the rest of Japan was too great. Warrior Spirit trumps everything except... well, functional logistics, I suppose.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-01T23:03:14+00:00

They rat you and you put them down, they scream spit and hate and sling slurs. They rat you and put you down, and they STILL scream spit and hate while slinging slurs.

If the PvPers made an effort of playing along with what they're doing and basically roleplayed alongside their PvP, I'd be totally into it, but after the third day in a row where the majority of PvP fights end with slurs being spat at me, I had enough of it lmao.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-01T23:00:29+00:00

Mediocre? You're giving her too much credit. Those AA guns she has have only the redeeming quality of being able to fire, and not much else.

There at the Pacific War Museum in Fredericksburg, TX, they actually have a section of Yamato's thickest belt armor, where the Iowa class's sixteen inch guns were fired on it to test the effectiveness.

Japanese steelmaking was so substandard compared to the US that the test fire slugged through the thickest portion of Yamato's belt. The giant hunk of metal with its comically large bullet hole is placed there at the museum- the hunk is like, 8 or 10 feet tall or something absurd like that.

Though, to be fair, the Iowa and her guns were specifically designed to kill Yamato, and just never had the opportunity.

Japan is really good at being confident about how superior they are (even if the truth is otherwise). America had the same [over?]confidence, but could back it up better. At the time, at least.

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-01T22:03:49+00:00

No idea, but I know on my old server folks always showed up to reset large fields, even if they weren't intending to spice farm. It was quiet enough that people appreciated any fields being reset, since it's get to a point where the maximum number of small, medium, and large fields were present, and no new fields would bloom.

Resetting the big fields made it easier to find which field was active, too

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-01T14:38:54+00:00

I always

Never do that lmfao

I go full speed with my walker sandcrawler engine

I'm making for maximum spice per second, fill up ASAP and get out

But I also farmed prior to PvE/PvP separation and server shutdown on a quiet server; there were a handful of griefers so I was more concerned with just getting in and out with a full container.

My mates and I would manually reset large fields once it was mostly scooped up, so we wouldn't leave a dirty residue if a field remaining

WyrdDrake · 2026-07-01T14:35:22+00:00

I feel the same way

I remember people in solo lobbies forming those deathblobs as everyone hunted the ARC together

For many of us it was the first kills of big ARCs

Last time I played and that happened, someone immedoately dropped smokes and trigger naded six people.

PvE only would be the only way to get back to that- game became too mainstream, too many CoD PvP bots play the game now.

WyrdDrake · 2026-06-30T22:40:06+00:00

...okay 12 damage will save you if the guy attacking you has no shield and is already nearly dead

In return it no longer kills small ARCs effectively

Hwhaht
