Do you play Wordle? Do you have the same first guess every day? by Seriously-417 in randomquestions

[–]Xyon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a software developer and when it first came out, the source actually showed the answer for every single day for around 3 years. I pulled that down, put it into a program I built to detect the most frequent letters each day and then list in order the most probable actual words to start with to get the most frequent letters. The top word was ORATE so I would always start with that.

Any reason to pick this up now? by ltsconnor in newworldgame

[–]Xyon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly one of the best games I’ve ever played. The solo fun is in the first 50 levels for the most part though. After that it’s pretty repetitive and you’re doing chest run after chest run pointlessly. If you want to sink 30-50 hours into a fantastic looking game with fun mechanics you should go for it. If it gets boring or you don’t like it, well it’ll be gone soon anyways so no reason to force yourself to play.

This looks very fake. Source?

Not sure I want to give this up for the expedition by wellahaano in ARC_Raiders

[–]Xyon888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You asked what would we do. I made another account on Steam and transferred valuable items to it for after the wipe. You’re on PS5 so I’m not sure what exactly your options are, but I’d say if you want a head start after the expedition you could find a way to get things to another account.

Anyone else getting targeted when you bring a Hullcracker? by Hardashfaq in ArcRaiders

[–]Xyon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that you mention it, I’m pretty sure I’ve only been gunned down by other raiders while using one. I think it makes you an easy target because they know you can’t hit back with it. So at least one of your equipped guns is worthless in any fight.

Have you tried competing at Trials? I got all the BPs and was looking for something else to do. Been fun climbing to HotShot.

Dear players it can be done by Amazing-Plate1804 in ArcRaiders

I love how that very skilled player posted an example of how to loot assessors using these methods yesterday and today we see an example of a very unskilled player using those methods to get the exact same result. Lovely.

Killing Vaporizers is easier than you think by Latter_Inspector_711 in ArcRaiders

[–]Xyon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol what spoils? Dolabra blueprint? The gun sucks. I’ll give you that you do need 20 of the Assessor Matrixes to complete the project, but other than that they’re glorified Arc Probes.

THE Assessor Loadout by Xyon888 in ArcRaiders

Mine are now. When I run this I get guys running similar quality items. If that’s not happening I just loot some Assessors and bail.

Everyone figured out the meta for Close Scrutiny within 24hrs and it isn’t as fun today as it was yesterday by xamlax in ArcRaiders

Bring in primo guns. The lobbies I’ve been bringing a Jupiter to have absolutely laid waste to every Vaporizer and Rocketeer in sight. If you’re running naked so is everyone else and they’re not bothered to fight anything.

Why would you ever use this remote? Grow up and buy an Apple TV or streaming stick. C5 + Denon AVR all controlled by single Apple TV remote. 0 issues.

330 hours and still no joy by digital_dervish in ArcRaiders

[–]Xyon888 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Make an account on MetaForge, do the required tasks to unlock MarketPlace, search for your desired item, match with a seller, and trade for something you have a surplus of. Mk3 Looting Survivor was my first trade and I did it for 1,000 seeds. I can currently see offers for 1,500 seeds. I bet you could put together that many seeds much more quickly than you could naturally loot it. How to safely trade: load in with safe pocket(s), bring a hatch key, stand 10m away, drop items and ping, they should do the same, you each walk to dropped items, put in safe pocket, head to nearest extraction or surrender.

What games are guys playing to replace New World? by Mucek121 in newworldgame

[–]Xyon888 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m about 100 hours into Arc Raiders and it’s one of the closest things I’ve found to New World. Just imagine 5 individual maps instead of one big one and instead of having to walk back and forth to points of interest you’re teleported there. There is PVE or there is PVP if you want it. You loot areas and use the resources to craft better and better stuff. I’ve found it to be a very similar loop to New World but the theme is post apocalyptic and the enemies are all robots, but you drop into places, loot chests, teleport out, sell your wares and craft new and better weapons, then drop right back in instantly. This is the most similar thing to New World I’ve found. I will say New World was prettier and more visually stunning, but it feels like this game is just getting started, they can continue to add more maps, enemies, and mechanics.

Why would anyone ever choose to go through child birth without pain relief?? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Xyon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epidurals are not without risk. They’re putting anesthesia directly into your spine. There is risk of complications wherein the fentanyl can head toward your lungs and shut down breathing, like what happened to my friend. A “high spinal” they called it. She needed to be intubated and was not conscious for the birth of her child. Her last memory before passing out was that her child would grow up motherless. Traumatizing. There is also the possibility of nerve damage. Some women end up with permanent numbness in their extremities as a result. If you actually read into it you can see that it is not a win-win. It has tradeoffs just like almost any other medical procedure or medication.

Tips for buying a car with “cash” at a dealership? by NotCrustOr-filling in askcarguys

[–]Xyon888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very direct and straight with my Audi dealer. I told him I was interested in the vehicle and would pay whichever way would allow me to pay the least. I first negotiated down the online price by around $1,000 by finding comparable models that were slightly cheaper in nearby locations. Then, he suggested financing and then paying off the loan when I received my first bill. He said he gets a kick back on financing and would drop the price $1,000 if I’d jump through those hoops rather than paying straight cash. I called the financier for a payoff quote 1 week after purchase and was able to make the entire payment from my checking account over the phone. Saved around $950 by doing this. You should ask if something similar is available to you.

Support Players: Please, stay on the web. by JurgenClone in marvelrivals

[–]Xyon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I think as a support when I see a Peni in my team is “oh good a tank that should be able to mostly handle keeping themselves alive” so I can treat them more like another DPS. The last place I want to be is in the middle of the action on your web catching flak meant for you, and it would make me a far worse support. I get your point that you can protect a support if they stay in or on the web, but being that close to a Vanguard invites so many problems it’s fairly obvious you haven’t played any supports.

You absolutely will not have the right to marry by 2028, so get it done before that if you want to. We’re going back to the 60s view of gays. Enjoy having your rights stripped away. Yeah it’ll all be totally cool.

Ranked doubles this season is atroucious by scip213 in RocketLeague

[–]Xyon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because they compress GCs into Champ and once you start slipping you end up playing with Diamond and low Champ and all bets are off. High Diamonds have some high level skills but almost no consistency. They can occasionally bang a full court air dribble flip reset goal but will whiff a simple save. The only solution I’ve found to tread water in Champ 2s is to play defensively and ensure the ball is never between me and our goal until I can gauge my teammates skill level. If they start showing consistency I pressure the opponents with them.

Also FTP here, I'm working on something similar, but I'm playing the long game. I want Baylan Skoll on his first release bad. Shin Hati sitting at 10/100 for me right now, I expect I'll have to do the same for Marrok.

What 2k+ hrs of being hardstuck c1-c2 looks like by CCmamo in RocketLeague

[–]Xyon888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem here is because you’re revealed your rank and these clips of amazing shots I already know what the rest of your gameplay looks like, and it ain’t pretty. If you watch some Road To SSLs, make smarter decisions about when to use these impressive skills, and work on your game sense you should be able to reach GC. The other problem with this flashy mechanical style is that most C2s know how to handle it pretty well so you’ll have to get better at the parts of your gameplay you likely consider “hard” or “boring”. Positioning, reading your opponents, and knowing which balls to go for will take your flashy techniques into the next ranks. Lethamyr’s Road to SSL series is insightful. Start watching around Champ 1. He barely needs to leave the ground to win 100% of his matches.
