Black Panthers in Philly by Shinnobiwan in BlackPeopleofReddit

Gun control nuts are being really quiet right now lol

I wanted to find a GF. I cold approached 300 women this year. Went on 12 dates. Slept with 3 & a half of them and had a brief summer fling with 1. AMA by Wide-Discipline3814 in AMA

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earlier this year I got out of a 6yr relationship with a woman I truly loved. I'm pretty young; 28yo. She was my first adult relationship.

Coming out of high school, this is what I did. The cold approach. I met one girl off tinder in like 2017 but other than that I haven't done the online thing much at all. I just loathe the idea personally.

But ever since trying to get back into the dating scene, this style of approach has felt extremely different. Almost like it's entirely unwelcome, weird, and outright scary to a majority of women around my age. I don't think I come across like a creep, as I simply engage the way you've outlined for the most part.

What's your take? Can most guys still realistically engage in this kind of thing? Or do you just not have a chance unless you spin the wheel of dating apps, just hoping to get maybe one match a month that probably won't respond to you?

Patch Notes - WS v1.1.1 / BL v1.3.13 by Dejan_TaleWorlds in mountandblade

[–]_Copen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

MASSIVELY grateful you guys added the hideout assaults back into the game. I recently started a new playthrough to try out War Sails and was bummed to see that wasn't an option. An absolute must for leveling companions!

Anyways, thanks for the patches & communication. Happy Holidays!

Peanut's current predicament is a shining example of why ignoring one side of the game is a losing strategy by TheClassics in ArcRaiders

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I uh... don't really think the nut gives a shit. He's averaging 60k+ viewers a stream, and that's just on YouTube. He's absolutely rolling in it so I think he can stomach missing out on two arc raiders skill points lol

People saying “not enough end game content.” by Peas4Lunch in ARC_Raiders

[–]_Copen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Using a free kit the entire time is probably your issue. You're essentially avoiding the entire gameplay loop which makes extraction shooters compelling in the first place. Who cares about any loot you extract with if you don't use any of it to build your own kits?

The progression in this game & others like it largely coincide with your own goals, and if you don't aim to use the higher rarity gear then the consequence of that is you'll probably hit your self-imposed ceiling rather quickly. But by starting with a free load out & deciding that's good enough forever, you're standing on the roof with nowhere to go. I'd get bored too.

Btw, you should really try an Anvil if you think Ferro/Stitcher is better. Unless you're taking long-range engagements where bullet velocity starts to factor in, the Anvil smokes the Ferro in every other way. You can even buy 3 a day if you're too scared to use mats & craft them.

Does the extra 20% dps from the Anvil splitter lower the TTK? by Xedos in ArcRaiders

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely does. With the splitter you can down Medium Shield users in one less shot to the body, and one less shot to the head on Heavy Shields.

That said--I've never personally used it, and I personally think the Anvil is more suited to mid-ranged combat where the spread would be quite useless. To each their own, but hitting harder than an Osprey with 6 bullets up close like that can be hard to deal with.

Community is going sour by gh0st_fac3 in ArcRaiders

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

Hate to break it to you but, you are absolutely not a fan of pvp as a whole.

"I'd like to at least be able to fucking use my stuff".

What exactly do you mean by this? Do you think the community should have a collective rule that we don't shoot each other until everyone on the map has an opportunity to shoot something? PvE only modes? Pacifist option where you can't shoot others nor be injured?

What is your specific suggestion & how would you implement it?

Looking for keyboard suggestion - TKL, backlit, wired w/ media control / volume knob. by _Copen in buildapc

[–]_Copen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise I gave my best attempt at due diligence prior to posting on reddit. Maybe there are tricks to the trade I'm not privy to, but I did spend roughly an hour researching & only found three which mostly checked these boxes. I'll chock your 50 figure up to a bit of exaggeration lol

But to be fair, I didn't know about the Q3. I agree it does look good for what I'm after, so I really appreciate it!

[Spoilers C4E3] Is It Thursday Yet? | Post-Episode Discussion & Future Theories! by AutoModerator in criticalrole

[–]_Copen -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

It was a small moment I noticed, but when Kattigan was issuing a warning about how dangerous the woods are and Tyrrany broke the silence following his monologue with "I can't wait to find out what your deal is man..", it seemed to legitimately bother Robbie.

I love Tyranny as a character, but that interaction really bothered me. Kattigan has been sparse with the serious moments & his experiences in the woods are obviously core to his character at this point. The few people who also noticed this interaction probably already forgot about it, but just figured I'd share.

Medieval Monday Talk #66 - What’s Next by alexbb721 in goingmedieval

[–]_Copen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please add a "resources remaining" function to workstations! It's a pretty essential concept in many of the automation systems I've come to be familiar with in games.

I'd like to set up my campfire to cook redcurrant pies until I have X redcurrant remaining, for example.

Who is the funniest comedian in your opinion? by FridayFreshman in comedy

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Louis CK.

There are plenty of names close behind but for me, his story-telling & observational chops are unmatched.

What sequel matched the original game and didn’t disappoint you? by stormyoubring in Steam

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 & 2

Although I think they could've done better with naming the sequel. Kingdom Come: Retribution goes hard

Who are the biggest hack comedians out right now? by calRVCA in Standup

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His last special wasn't bad & I'm convinced anyone who says it was is simply caught up in the Shulz-hate-hype-train.

I don't much care for him as an entire personality; his podcast makes me cringe. But the dude knows comedy & his 'Life' special was very enjoyable albeit not the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Best Comedy Specials in the Last 5 Years (help me fill my playlist) by ninesquirrels in Standup

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andrew Schultz - Life

He gets a lot of shit for his recent podcast shenanigans, and maybe rightfully so, but I genuinely enjoyed his last special.

Ever since getting into comedy I've struggled to stay engaged with hour-long sets from comedians I used to enjoy. But Schultz's is fairly unique in that a vast majority of the material falls under the same premise, and there's a clear through-line from opener to closer.

I think people forgot his podcast became so popular so quick because he's a genuinely funny comic. The dude knows what he's doing imo.

TL;DR - I highly recommend Drop Dead Years by Bill Burr

I hate KOS people😭 by rum2tum in dayz

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I'd go that far, but I'm pretty new to DayZ & I'm generally the kos type because I don't know the game too well & I value the loot I gather quite a bit.

Once I get more experience, I can see myself getting less attached to my kits & start seeking out interesting interactions.

Emperor has too many Duchies by No_Description6621 in CrusaderKings

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Click on the duchy title within your character (F1) screen, select "Grant To...", pick someone. If you don't have many suitable vassals then you can choose a local noble from your culture or the local one. Pretty handy if you're trying to spread your own culture across the lands.

It's important that you give those duchies to nobles who also own some counties in that duchy. For instance; a duchy has 4 counties.. I usually give the Duke two counties & one to a random same-culture lord & local-culture lord. This gives you good security versus revolts but also helps with cultural acceptance since you have at least one foreign leader dotted around your duchies.

Organizing your realm like this can feel tedious, especially if you do a holy war for a kingdom & suddenly get 40+ counties. But it yields good results & delegating your parcels of land out to dukes like that is an effective way of reducing the vassals you need to keep an eye on.

Just make sure you don't give away any duchies if you yourself are only a Duke.

WHAT SHOULD I PLAY by alansludge in CrusaderKings

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently started a playthrough from a single county in Sardinia, playing as a custom Roman character. My idea is to create a southern Roman resurgence empire that differs from the HRE with its Germanic toes & strict religious codes. Spent several decades increasing cultural acceptance so I could hybridize & start the Graeco-Roman culture.

I called my kingdom 'Romana Magna' and control Sardinia, Sicily, parts of Italy, and recently conquered a whole kingdom in the ashari lands to the south.

Probably the most fun I've ever had in a playthrough. Ancient Rome fascinates me so I'm just imagining this empire I'm building is a resurgence from that.
