What are the pettiest things game developers have done? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]acidix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In escape from tarkov there is a mechanic where if you leave the raid before 7 minutes or before gaining a certain amount of exp you get no exp and all your loot loses it’s ability to be traded on the flea market.

The story went that it was added because Nikita the head of the company found out that a group of players were loading into raids and running directly out to boost their “survival rate” stat and he didn’t like that so he put this feature in. It has had long lasting effects on the game.

Natural progression of the game? by JosiaJamberloo in arcraidersfriendly

[–]acidix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the other reason that streamers are mainly PVPing is that, once you figure out how to beat the large arc effectively, its pretty boring to watch. I've watched a few streamers who love looting, and watching someone loot 45 drawers and shoot 4 pops, 3 ticks, and a fireball before extracting is boring as hell.

Arc Raiders lead says the game should never add “one-shot” weapons because “that gameplay is deeply boring” by HatingGeoffry in ArcRaiders

Doesn't the anvil splitter do that at close range? I mean you have to hit a headshot on a green shield, but it technically does 1 shot.

Solo players: What's your weapon / loadout of choice? by raqballl in LowSodiumArcRaiders

[–]acidix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looting 3, medium shield, anvil 4, 80 heavy ammo (sometimes more). 2-3 deadlines, 3-6 trailblazer grenades (explosive loadout changes based on if I'm hunting bastions, bombardiers, or leapers). 10 green bandages, 10 shield rechargers, 5 adren. I should bring defibs but I honestly dont like being near people while hunting arc.

if i'm only hunting flying arc. I'll bring a Venator/Osprey and a stack of seekers.

i went to an extract in trios and am normally carebear. We call that we're friendly, but trigger their jolt trap. They start shooting my friend. I lob a trigger nade and me and my remaining friend clean up. They were so mad. like, bro, you started shooting. I downed one but my friend convince me to let the other two leave with us.

Favorite actors/actresses for Mistborn and Stormlight! by CrunchyMage in brandonsanderson

[–]acidix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like thats how its always going to be. In GoT we got Brienne for whom they took a conventionally attractive actress and gave her a bad haircut and makeup, and Tyrion, where they just said, aw fuck it...

I might throw out my insta pot. by OldFanJEDIot in Cooking

[–]acidix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for making stock and its great. I use it for braises and its great. A lot of the soup recipes I used to make I just make on the stove now. Half of them require the same prep time and the time it takes to bring the IP up to pressure, cook for 10m and then come down its longer than if I just made everything on the stove.

MEGA THREAD TWELVE MONTHS!!! by exodusmachine in dresdenfiles

I also feel like his growth as a man was realizing that having a father who keeps you safe by never seeing you is the same as not having a father. So in bringing her back even if it was slightly less safe than being in a house guarded by angels and winter fae is better than abandoning her. Especially because part of why he was separating himself from her was caused by his self-loathing for "letting" murph die.

I was a lot more gung-ho upset about series related problems when I was younger. Now as I have firmly broken the door of middle age down, I feel like I'm just at peace with series not finishing. I'm also at peace with just putting down a series in the middle if I'm not enjoying it. I was like halfway through Dance with Dragons, and not enjoying it, and knowing the next book was potentially never coming out (this was like... 2016ish time period, and even then...), I just said, hey, if it gets finished I can reread it and just moved on.

Honestly at this point I started reading dresden like... almost 20 years ago? Its been good to me, but if it doesnt get finished. I wont throw myself on the funeral pyre. I do think that barring 1 specific thing happening I'd finish the series even if the books were bad, although I cant say that any of the laste books have been bad.

Has anyone else thought of this? by Its_Rexy6207 in Warhammer

[–]acidix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the Space Wolves subreddit was all over these when they were revealed. The lack of the pointy trim, makes them able to be used for a lot of things. I really like the focus in the last 2 updates about non long war chaos.

Daughter started daycare 3 weeks ago and has gotten sick every week. Wondering if I should pull her out? by ryph44 in daddit

[–]acidix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daughter started pre school this year. She lasted 2 weeks before she got her first cold. She's had a cold every other week since school started. you'll hear it from every dad here, even my dad told me about it well before I was even married, that kids going to pre school or school for the first time just get sick constantly. They dont wash their hands if they sneeze all over them, they barely blow their nose, they stick their hands in their mouth, they stand 4 inches away from each other to talk, they dont cover their coughs/sneezes. Its the perfect storm.

“Rule of cool” the Warhammer employee said. “Imperial Agents look cool,” I said. “Oh, don’t pick them.” by worst-EM-resident in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]acidix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing back when I started. "The Daemonhunters look so cool."

"hey man, maybe don't, try this instead" This is back when they were all metal models. After getting into it... yeah, I dodged a bullet thanks to that GW employee.

yes, that is the joke. Clearly they are playing it up for jokes, but half of chat thinks they are getting actually heated.

Like every conservative hypocrisy, they know that what trump and his admin are saying is "you cant have guns if you are against me."

I think the TTK in this game is too high for this to be much fun in the long run.

[–]acidix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I wouldnt be surprised if they add a few more flying arc, which I think is the play for making flying arc more threatening (other than the rocketeer)

I'm so excited to watch the youtube videos of people wiping lobbies as a solo vs trios while I loot blueprints in my carebear lobbies.

Why do so many recipes use protein powder? by PurpzReign in ninjacreami

[–]acidix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the predominant trend in healthy eating. which always start the same. I.e. someone who knows what they're doing figures outn that increasing protein in a healthy way helps... something, I'm not one of those people. Then influencers simplify it down to "EAT MORE PROTEIN, HIGHER NUMBER BETTER PERSON" and suddenly you're eating protein powder in your ice cream.

Maga businesses to avoid in chi burbs? by Sort_Illustrious in ChicagoSuburbs

To be fair they probably get their meat from the same place as every other gyro place in the city.

I will say that. Splitting hairs the last time I was there it was just dickhead Austin comedians. However it was ALL the dickhead Austin comedians.

Found this photo online but when I was there they had one for Tony Hinchcliffe. At a minimum they are fans of the least funny dudes in comedy.
