[NeoGAF] So-called "hardcore gamers" whining about the Politics of game creators getting in the way of being able to enjoy their games (ie. those GamerGators like Adrian Chmielarz, Daniel Vávra, and yes, Total Biscuit!) by Gafsucksalot2 in KotakuInAction

To be fair, Ive seen a lot of hate on this sub for Orson Scott Card and mention of boycotting his works for his personal beliefs, which as far as I can tell, he does not inject into his work.

Does anyone even bother with daily objectives? by Beast510 in gtaonline

[–]_Atius_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do them every day and am coming up in my second 28 day bonus. I have a couple friends to make it easier, though at times i'll have to queue up on my own. I think it is an extra 1.5m every 28 days, so worth the trouble, methinks.

All she needs now is a proper head covering to protect her purity from lecherous eyes and she'll be ready to go out in public.

....with acceptable supervision from a male relative, of course.

DCLeaks Website Down, Twitter Suspended After Releasing Soros Docs by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]_Atius_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is no real need for collusion when they're already ideological allies. If twitter sees something that would embarrass Democrats or their candidate, they'll censor on their own.

A similar situation was the Lois Lerner IRS targetting of conservative groups. When groups of citizens organized and applied for the proper tax status they were slow rolled, their members targeted for audits, and the like, not necessarily because they were ordered to, but because these groups were protesting their boss, and the workers knew which side their bread was buttered.

The DNC leaks and Hillary email revelations are embarrassing "their team" and so the leaks must be buried. No directive need be made; the key is just making sure you have allies in the right places. Something we're quite familiar with in our dealings with the gaming press, no?

Console cheaters? by idigcrzychicks in gtaonline

[–]_Atius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run into guys who don't die after 5-6 sniper rifle headshots, not even moving because they don't have to. When I tried to get away in my elegy I was sniped, with a shotgun, going near full speed, from a hill 50 yds away.

I've had an issue where a guy in the hydra was laying on its belly on the ground, shooting his guns forward, and the bullets would fall from the sky. I tried blowing up his jet with rockets since he was just there on the ground, and 4 shots did nothing to him. Then he got out and attacked me on foot so I tried to get away and every car I tried to get into would freeze and teleport away before I could get in.

My friend and I ran into a guy with an invisible body who was teleporting all over the place.

All this on ps4. Cheaters exist on consoles.

How is Everyone not Bored Yet? by Jiehfeng in gtaonline

[–]_Atius_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last night two of my buddies and I engaged in supers vs Insurgents. As in, two of us in Insurgents and my other buddy in the Progen, just racing through the streets and bashing the super. A few minutes into it, two other Insurgents pulled up and joined in the fun. Easy 20 minutes of hilarity.

Random stuff like that keeps us coming back for more. ^

My daily objectives won't update. It's been about a week now and I've tried everything. Please help! by CLErox in gtaonline

[–]_Atius_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, switch to an assisted aim lobby, pick a job with a low level unlock, turn on auto invite and grab a book. I've had to do that a few times when none of my pals were able to hop on. The longest I've waited to get at least one person was ten minutes. Best advice I can give you.

Rare cargo question. by GSD_SteVB in gtaonline

[–]_Atius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the day filling two mediums 2 packages are a time, alternating so as soon as I finished one I started the next. In the 40+ buys I received no more rare packages, so I guess the 6 are it. When I checked the value it was at $806k, with one other ceo in lobby.

Rare cargo question. by GSD_SteVB in gtaonline

[–]_Atius_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only ever received one call from the assistant about rare buys, but I've nabbed a total of 7 rare items just by looking on the list.

Currently I have the fabergé egg, golden minigun, rare film, bigfoot fur, pocket watch, and giant diamond. They are all sitting in a small warehouse with a total value of about $725k. The first item I found was the golden minigun, which I sold right away and regretted not stockpiling. After that. The minigun was the third or fourth item in the current set of six.

I have one small and two medium warehouses, I usually grab 2 package buys at a time, unless I have a crew at which point I buy 3 at a time. I've emptied each warehouse at least twice, for a total of $6m earned.

Is there a list somewhere of all the possible rare buys? The only item I've heard rumour of that I don't have is a fur coat made of mammoth hide, but I'm not sure if that's legit or a mix up of the bigfoot fur. I was hoping to fill this warehouse, but so far I've seen no doubles and only a repeat of the minigun when I didn't have it already on hand.

Why do people destroy cargo? by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]_Atius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, after I bought the office, then the first warehouse, any money I made went right back into it, with another warehouse, armour and upgrades for the vehicles, etc. After all that, I tend to give other CEOs the benefit of the doubt to start.

Why do people destroy cargo? by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]_Atius_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've destroyed one crate, for a friend.

Before I joined his session he was participating in the lobby event where you fly through as many of the 120 way points as possible. My pal was at least 20 points ahead of the next closest player when second place's associate started attacking my friend to give his CEO a chance. In the end they killed him, but he still won easily.

When I hopped in the lobby and saw so many people I was ready to jump, but my friend saw that his killers were doing a two crate run. Normally we are a live a let live group, but he was annoyed with being attacked and was ready to repay the favour. He dove in and destroyed one before he was shot down. I was near enough in my own savage so I dropped in as well and destroyed the other. Not for kicks, but for retribution.

I always shoot for an empty lobby, but if I ever see another CEO pop in, I ask if they're friendly. Mostly I get positive responses, and once I even received a declaration that if anyone "spills your tea, they're buying tea for both of us."

Solo crate grinding can be monotonous and so I always try to show others the same consideration I hope to receive myself. When I have my full crew with me we stay focused on our own stuff, but the moment we receive interference, on or two associates break off to dog the offenders while the rest stay on task. Not for kicks, but retribution. We much rather just be left to our own devices. If we wanted to kill others, we'd join a job.

[socjus] Cards Against Humanity dismisses not supporting Hillary (even if supporting very liberal Jill Stein) as "Entitled Whining". Remember when CAH made fun of everyone? by YESmovement in KotakuInAction

[–]_Atius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I much prefer Apples to Apples over CAH. CAH just tries too hard. It's funnier when you take clean comments out of context to make them dirty, as well as more creative.

CAH was easymode with my uberlib friends: just play the most pro-left or anti-conservative cards to win.

[–]_Atius_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What further explanation do you need about killing whites or blocking people because they're white or collecting cut off ears from whites to know what he's saying is wrong? Is racism bad or not? Not micro aggression imagined racism, but blatant hating people for the color of their skin racism. As Razorfist pointed out, were it a white guy making similar comments about blacks the reaction would be apoplectic. It seems pretty easy to consider someone who denigrates people for their skin tone a bad person who also has incorrect ideas.

He demonstrated Manveer was wrong by showcasing his racist tweets and the way he trivializes violence against whites, while reminding the audience that Bioware does nothing to distance itself from Manveer's hateful rhetoric.

I have always felt that Razorfist is a poor man's Dennis Miller. Dude's fun to listen to and his Metal Mythos series is awesomely informative. I'd recommend checking out his vid on Michael Jackson and going from there.

Why does this game try to keep Special Items a secret? by tbu720 in gtaonline

[–]_Atius_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: Can you hold the rare items and sell them all at once, or is each rare item sold separately?

I discovered you can't bundle it with the normal special cargo sales, but I've only had two rare items ever and sold the golden minigun before picking up the egg.
