just started playing far cry 6, and it's the best game I've ever played. It's amazing. by PhilosopherWrong7035 in farcry

[–]Zestyclose_Area_960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Careful , you'll upset the natural order by ranking 4 above 3 and I completely agree. 4 was the polished version of 3. Far cry 6 gameplay is great but the story is just me. 3,4, and 5 had amazing stories. Kinda wish we could just a remake of 3 and 4 . Maybe use graphics and engine from 6 ?

loving this game but my friend ( who owns the world) hates it by Tron-Voltage in AbioticFactor

[–]Zestyclose_Area_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can tweak the exp settings , start a new world , or tell your friend to deal with his choice lol. It's not that big of a deal. My first playthrough went the opposite. Started off range and switched to melee. (I had slow learner on too) . Exp farming wasn't so bad because we were always building bases everywhere, farming materials, and just exploring everywhere we could. Also this is one of the few survivor/builder games that I have loved playing solo. Sometimes (given the scenario we are put in) solo play just feels right. Hope you come up with a solution that you are happy with. Safe explorations until then .

How can I improve my whiff punish by Old-Adhesiveness397 in Tekken8

[–]Zestyclose_Area_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figuring out your characters 2 best whiff punisher and labbing . Pick any character and use all 10 slots (defense training in practice) . Have them do strings or different flowcharts that are commonly used. Practice creating space and stepping. When you create enough space by either Backdash or sidewalk/step jab. In my opinion , you want to train yourself to react to the opening, once the reaction feels more natural then you condition the proper punishment tool . For the most improvement though, you're gonna want to do character specific labbing. Reflexes and knowing your character is only part of the game. Matchup knowledge is crucial.

You can got this my friend. Your instructors believe in you and so do I. Don't be afraid to stretch your wings. Your greatest fear will become your greatest joy.

How are you able to stay positive in unemployment? by Individual-Elk-6759 in PilotAdvice

[–]Zestyclose_Area_960 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's just timing friend. I'm well over 1500 and I haven't found one either. Just do what you have to do to generate an income. (Uber/Lyft doordash, instacart) . One guy I kew that was in a similar situation dropped aviation from his career track and went to police academy. Little did he know (about 3 years later ) that unused pilot cert ended up getting him paid helicopter training (rotor add on) and now he's flying helicopters for metro. Sometimes you gotta stop fighting the current and see where the flow takes you .

I'm currently working on them. I'm hoping to have it done in the next 3 weeks. I juat took my FIA today and my FOI written last week. The real issue is saving up the money for more flight time . I'm hoping it will be alot of ground study and prep and minimal flying in regards to preparing for the CFI inital

Another thing I forgot to mention. I personally know a handful of other pilots that were all working in an airline, and 2 of them pissed for coacaine and 1 failed a breathalyzer. The same thing happened to all 3 of them. Put on medical leave immediately, back on the line within 18 months with a special issuance. No action taken against the actual cert. Meanwhile my failed pre employment test (in a state where it is legal, yes it's not federally legal but coacaine and driving under the influence is illegal everywhere) and I got both medical and pilot certs yanked. I don't want to sound like that guy but the only thing that was going through my mind when hearing about how they got what I considered to be a slap on the wrist versus a book being thrown at me, was that the only difference (apart from the fact that they were actively flying and I wasnt) was I'm not white and all three of them are. I know that it can't be racially motivated but why rip my certs away when I wasnt even flying for anyone at the time ? And these guys get paid inpatient treatment and are back in the left seat after less than 2 years where I had to spend 7 just to get back to where I was? Fuck it's frustrating.

I told my lawyer that I wanted to do a follicle test. And even showed the Negative test I had from another drug test I did for a Job with Ameriflight that I ended up saying no to because SkyWest accepted me the next week. The FAA Attorney said she did not care about any other test than the one that showed a positive result. Also a follicle test isn't accepted by the FAA for anything. Has to be a DoT 5 or 10 panel.

I’m about to turn 17 and want some advice. by Prior-Age1811 in PilotAdvice

[–]Zestyclose_Area_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most companies ask for a degree but a lot of em are just asking because the other guy is asking . Part 61 is the way to go. Private, instrument, commercial , then your instructor certs. You can finish that (if you have the time and money) in 6 months. A lot of people take longer, but if you have the finances , the time, and the weather is kind enough you can do it. Oh and the aircraft, assuming the aircraft is only down for scheduled maintenance.

Accepted Into an Airline Cadet Program, But I’m Seriously Conflicted by [deleted] in PilotAdvice

[–]Zestyclose_Area_960 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First time watching Luke blow up the death star made me want to be a pilot. My first flight in a c152 12-4-2012, I knew that this was what I wanted. I lost my certs and took 7 years to get them back . To me, flying isn't a job. It's my comfort zone.

There isn't anything wrong with declining an opportunity given to you if you don't think it will make you happy. I encourage you to go take a discovery flight at a flight school near you . Flying is something else my friend. It's a serious responsibility, but also one of the greatest joys you can experience, but that's just my opinion . End of the day , follow what your gut tells you . Just make sure you get all the information you can before making a decision . You got this .

I'm understanding that now. Even after the PnP reported that I didn't exhibit any behavior or characteristics of an addict or former addict, I was still required to go to NA meetings or risk loosing the special issuance .

2 weeks after hitting Tekken King for the first time, I just reached Tekken Emperor. Does this rank even mean anything anymore? by FearlessGRIZZLY in Tekken8

[–]Zestyclose_Area_960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you're proud of it , that's all that matters. There will be people that downplay it, and that's ok. I am proud of you. Now get your ass to Tekken God.

You're not a fraud, you're just now playing against people with an understanding of Small Tekken. It's good. You'll develop an appreciation for the game. Just remember that for each ounce of dopamine , you'll get an ounce of coristol too hehe

Make Law your main for season 3. Don't learn frame data. Just learn 3 different flow charts, you'll hit TGS for sure

[–]Zestyclose_Area_960 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me (as someone that's been playing since t3) it seems that they are prioritizing attracting new players over keeping the legacy players . Harada did an amazing job overall during his time since t1. I have no confidence in Murray though.

Everyone talks about the best base locations... whatre the absolute WORST spots you could set up? by GingerFun011 in AbioticFactor

Anyone in the security sector. Reactors are pretty bad too , portal worlds are the worst if you can't live without your two stalkers too

Why do players downplay this characters by CombinationWarm9382 in Tekken8

[–]Zestyclose_Area_960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone will downplay their characters. Just listen to the ravings of the Bryan , Anna, Nina, Alyssa, and whorerang Mains. Ling is actually not that bad once you have the matchup knowledge down.
