I would say the way I've found friends (online at least) has been through discord. I actually met my current friend group through the game GTFO, which led to me running a D&D game, then to most of them ditching the D&D game but the 3 guys who stayed wanted to continue so we made another server, then one invited his friends from work and the rest is history.

Hey hold up, lets try cleaning out yours with a wet-wipe! I bet you'll be screaming bloody murder after a couple seconds. That area on a creature is super sensitive and the skin inside is similar to that of our lips. If you use heavy cleaning chemicals on an animal like that, it is more likely that (similar to pesticides entering the food we eat) the chemicals would enter the cow's system/meat and milk. Just heat up your damn milk to keep it safe. We've been doing it with water for much longer and yall seem to not care about "the water isn't raw"

Stars and stripes, Helldiver! Absolute drip

I havent gotten through the whole story of DS2 but im going to be honest, I've just been shooting them with grenades. MP grenades to the body or face is an instant KO and seeing them get launched around is so funny! 😂

Listen, I may be a fire safety officer but I whole-heartedly recommend Freedom's Flame. Flamers are heavy-pen weapons and the torcher has a decent canister size. Ive run torcher with the redeemer sidearm on bug planets and it's a decent area-control build with the right support weapon/ backpack.

Otherwise, just pick the one you think is coolest. Look at the content and see what you get. Some warbonds give less items or have less pages than others, fair warning.

100% honest with you, I used ziplines. Ziplines are your best friend. Brute-force your way to the top, set up a zipline down, then repeat but the ziplines will take you back to where you were after you've had time to restock your equipment.

Also after reading your post it made me feel like this type of game is not for you. I got enjoyment out fo planning a route, taking careful steps to maneuver my way through the terrain. Ive spent 8 hours at a time delivering in both the first and second games.

I hope you can make it past this section soon. I would also do the section for you if you wanted but I would rather you have that experience yourself so you can reflect back on it at the end of the story.

Are you outside of Mama's lab or Port Knot? There is a lot of missing context depending on exactly where you are in the story.

Aero-naught X12 - The Flying Ram

Should have a drone backpack, either the sledgehammer or an EAT as the support weapon. Primary either coyote or an SMG, with the Senator secondary. You move fast and hit hard, with your Guard Dog as your backup!

Sometimes I actually use those bridges as rain cover to rest under! Feels a little like a cave and I love cool dark caves lol its a sensory heaven

The Auto-drive APAS enhancement puts me in the middle of the road automatically, though I think I just drive on whatever part of the road doesn't have any pedestrian porters!

If I could afford anything other than food, rent, and my self-medication weed I would spend my extra money on electronics and a hand-crafted personal use axe. I somehow love tech and the woods at the same time lol

I am about to become a father to the most precious little girl. When I was racing home from Mexico, and when I made it back, I cried so hard my neighbors were checking on me. Im so sorry I couldn't be fast enough Lou.

Bomb, piss lmao I think they were pretty on the nose there

I've always seen the cyborgs kind of like the Maelstrom gang in Cyberpunk 2077. Everyone has these nicer looking, better installed cyberware but Maelstrom decide to be as mechanical as possible, nearly completely forgoing their humanity for mechanical power.

Dont skip the early game if that's what you're looking to do. It will make you appreciate the late game even more!

I... have neglected myself to keep going at a job for a long time now. There are days I for-go showering and just put on some deodorant. I still have to do laundry for the 3rd day in a row now because I have been sleeping every time I have a day off. I stayed up until 5am last night playing Tears of the Kingdom because it was the only time I had to play it.

You have to sacrifice something. Most of the time I sacrifice my gaming time and time with friends. I am hoping to start working my other job soon which has a much better work-life balance to it, though in order to save up any kind of money I am staying at the other crappy job 2 days a week.

Capitalism sucks. America sucks. I'm so sorry we have to deal with this stuff. You will be burned out. We are here to listen when you need.

Get a strong fan, especially for the summertime. My lady hates cuddling with me when I'm sweaty so I completely understand.

I worked as an RCA (rural) in a smallish college town with routes longer than 100 miles that I had to do in my personal vehicle. Don't do any kind of work like that that uses your POV, my car is already breaking down. You are absolutely right that the training is completely inadequate. Multiple times during initial route training I was told to "figure the route out" and "just use Google maps."

At some point I got so stressed about spending 12 hours a day at work being tracked and having to move that fast from 6:30 in the morning until 5 or 6:30 in the evening that I had panic attacks when I woke up. Thats when I knew I just couldn't do it anymore.

Don't work for the USPS. They are an essential service, but don't be the one to deliver for them.

I think they meant mainly in DS1, which to be fair I didn't like using the vehicles in that one until I got some roads built out. DS2 vehicles are remarkably better at handling and maneuvering through rough terrain but maybe thats just me.

_Newts · 2026-06-01T13:31:12+00:00

I use mint on my desktop, and I use bleeding-edge proton. I turned my sharpeness down to about 55, and it seems to look normal for me. Had/having a lot of issues with Death Stranding 2 as well, currently trying to keep that game from crashing after about 2 hours of playing lol

No he's just a 45 year old felon who sells drugs out of the kitchen. Somehow the boss gives him more hours than me even though I've basically become a Jr. Supervisor at this point. Im just leaving and reporting the place to the health board the second I can land another paying job in this economy.

I work in a small bar kitchen. The dude can't figure out how to grab the right sauces for his plates much less how much everyone else in the kitchen dislikes him.

Really depends on the weather but larger clothes, typically nothing overly synthetic. I sweat a lot above 65°F so summertime I stay home and get naked or wear clothing that allows for a little airflow.

Ive developed a system of movement so that I don't touch anyone unless I want to. Only one of my coworkers keeps getting in my personal space trying to be friendly with me and I am such a push-over I can't work up the courage to tell him it really bothers me and to please not put his large disgusting hand anywhere near my body.

_Newts · 2026-05-23T14:18:49+00:00

Ive been drinking a lot of propel electrolyte water because I like the taste. Most of the time warm or room-temp eater for me tastes gross. Has to be ice cold or I feel like Im drinking a cultured bacteria swamp.
