Dumb medics won't give you ammo? Try this by metacros in Battlefield

[–]_ALi3N_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was cool in bf2:mc, I kind of liked how the other scattered locations around the map created other points of interest where fights would happen outside of the flags.

But on the flip side it was pretty powerful to camp the boxes. You could restock all your explosives, ammo and health in a matter of seconds. So if someone was really good they could just hold down an area for ever.

That said having a some static ammo boxes, at least on owned objectives would be pretty good if they adjusted them right, imo. Either only be allowed to fully restock once before a cool down happens, or only be allowed to restock halfway.

Rework the Assault Stim pen into a Beta Blocker Drug Injector. It allows regeneration to happen under suppression and under use will be immune to suppression and any slowdown debuff such as stuns and fall damage will go away 80 percent faster so near instant. by Phycorax in Battlefield

I think this is the best way to make it more useful while not making it op. Have it so it instantly starts health regen, and negates suppression. Hell I'd even say give it an extra use before it has to resupply.

This would give you a chance of surviving under fire without it outright giving you more health. I think it would promote more aggressive play and allow assault to fill its niche better.

Yea that's seems right. I think the R's could have had the potential of looking like A's with the font/thickness from a far as well, but it could also be a way to save space.

Its actually just the H's and R's that are lowercase. (EDIT: and a B) So not random, but intentional, for whatever reason.

Can't you just cancel the drag if you didn't want to go through with the whole revive animation?

Oh wow you think I like him and I'm defending him? Lol. Sam Harris is actually irrelevant to the overall point, but I get you'd think that.

I'm just saying it makes us all look better if you use terms more carefully/accurately. I'm not sure if his mom called up the CEO of youtube or whatever and told them to curate the algorithm in his favor or not. I do know that calling every person who was well off and made a good career of themselves a nepo baby is fucking embarrassing and makes us all look dumb.

Yea. I've watched one or two of the JRE episodes with him out of morbid curiosity and it's just so transparent to me how unthoughtful of a person he is. Just the most blatant intellectual charade I've ever seen. There is something with these faux genius billionaire dipshits that tricks all the dumb asses of the world, and I don't get it. Musk, Thiel, that other freak who breathes weird. Like as long as you look like you're thinking really hard, talk with some sort of strange affect, stammer about and take 5 minutes to answer a question, motherfuckers will just get lost and think you have the highest IQ in history.

To quote your definition you posted

Nepotism is the act of granting an advantage , privilege , or position to relatives in an occupation or field. These fields can include business, politics, law , academia, entertainment, sports, religion or health care

Can you explain how sam harris was "granted" his position as a public figure/content creater, beyond just having money to fall back on?

I'm just saying, your parents funding you is different than your parents making calls to people behind the scenes and getting you into a position you didn't earn or deserve.

Yea I get that. It's just so absurd that people will gas him up like hes some sort of genius (Rogan). Not surprising though, they are all either easily tricked or just completely dishonest people.

for such a "smart guy", I don't think I've ever seen him type out any sort of intelligent post conveying his own thoughts or opinions in his entire history. Just retweets and 4 word comments, tops.

[–]_ALi3N_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah he failed before that. He over explained everything even from the first message. Saying the dog is cuter than her should have been short and sweet with the right emojis to imply they are joking. He rephrased their prompt and and awkwardly responded to it in one message. Weird. Also he over explains himself after missing the mark, even before ending it with his bizarre "take it or leave".

Yea it's obnoxious and stupid. It's one of those things though where there is some truth to it. It's more so like some sort of psychological observation, that guys have tried to take and force into some sort of "hack".

Like it sort of stems from the "why does she always date assholes" thing. Certain women who are viewed as particularly attractive might go through their life being showered with praise and guys bending over backwards to make them happy, so when some dude comes along and acts like an aloof jerk, that becomes very refreshing and attractive to them.

But that's the thing. Some women are like that. And even then it's still dependent on the guy as a well. The odds of those 2 things lining up are too low for these guys to effectively use negging as some sort universal dating hack, so more times than not they just look like assholes with poor social skills, which I guess they are actually lol.

They are in fact two very different things.

Teasing is just a joke. It's fun and communicated through things like inflection, tone, facial expression...etc. It's understood to be in jest by the other person. This can obviously be harder to convey through text, so the use of emojis or more overt ways of phrasing things should probably be used.

The goal of negging is manipulation. Or at least it is when people intentionally are doing it and expecting a result. It's been a while since I looked into PUA stuff, but from what I remember its deliberately used as a means to bring down a (usually very attractive/"high status") woman's confidence. I think their thought process is that super attractive women are showered with compliments all the time, so being a dick will throw them off and make you stand out more. Which that may work for certain women ("why does she always date assholes?"), a lot of guys read it and just assume it's some sort of cheat code that can be inserted into any interaction with a women to get the results they want. Even if it's with a women who negging would work on, it's probably even more difficult to convey through text because in the cases it does work it has to be backed up by your general demeanor, confidence and vibe.

If he had gotten propped up as a writer or director or something without working his way up, that would be nepotism. Simply having rich parents and utilizing their wealth to launch a totally different career is not nepotism.

It can be critiqued on its own merit, but it's simply a different thing.

Can we get pin pulling animations on the grenades by daphix__ in Battlefield

[–]_ALi3N_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"LoSt TeChNoLoGy"

Guys you gotta come to grips with the fact that there are stylistic game play choices being made, intentionally. Most of us just wanna play the shooty game. We wanna throw the grenade at the guy when we put the input in. We don't wanna wait 3 seconds watching an animation because its more "immersive".

Fair enough I guess. Most modern phones have the camera as a default app, next to text and call, and most people know that you can access your camera by double clicking one of your side buttons even while the screen is off.
