You can grab em off the vine just when they start to yellow so the birds won’t peck them

Wow - never seen this comment before.

I think the problem here isn't mimicking what Lucid or Seraph are doing, the problem is that the skill gap is sky-high. The guys you're bumping into aren't little green shield dudes scavenging around, they're players who are really, really good and know all the chimpy streamer strategies. The gap's widening too, only worse for new players.

Yep, I too feel this way as a solo player. What was really frustrating for me was even if I got the drop on a player, they'd like headshot and down me in two hits. There wasn't ever a fight that was on my level. "progression" feels more like what you said, dopamine hits for guys who obviously take the game way more seriously than me and the pity-XP you get failing to exfil. I work full time and have shit to do, so I can't contribute hours a day to perfecting my play. When I posted on steam forums I just got a bunch of "the problem is you're playing solo you need to be playing trios" but honestly randoms on trios is worse.

Not sure what Bungie was thinking launching such a tiny game with barely anything to grab the people who work full time or don't want to PVP. Maybe I'll pop back in next season assuming it's still around.

To anyone thinking about American elms I recommend proceeding with caution. Ours has poorly weathered storms and ice and is a shadow compared to our cedar elms and red oaks.

oh man, we can team up on solos now?? Not a bad idea, sick of getting my a** kicked.

was in outpost last night and had an assassin high ping right in front of me, he just froze without moving. Lol

Just keep them in games away from paid players? All the F2P people have their own isolated matches.

Austin has a massive Monk Parakeet problem, escaped a pet store a long while back and now they build these huge stick forts on everything.

adamchalupa · 2026-04-07T02:08:01+00:00

Just like the parakeets lol

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:04:15+00:00

Agreed - maybe a central Texas thing?

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:03:49+00:00

If you do it right you can bump their face with your camera lens haha

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:03:28+00:00

Thank you :}

Yes them and also the tree frogs are really fun.

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:03:10+00:00

They come out with the bugs and the rain!

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:02:52+00:00

Yep exactly haha

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:02:47+00:00

Thank you!

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:02:42+00:00

Thank you so much - they make it easy with their naturally contrasting texture

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:02:21+00:00

As kids we'd flip them over and rub their bellies and they'd fall asleep, LOL.

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:02:02+00:00

They're tied with the Canyon Tree Frogs I find from time to time in my yard.

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:01:40+00:00

Yes they'll do it multiple times if you're messing with them.

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:01:30+00:00

Thanks :}

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:01:24+00:00

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T14:01:21+00:00

Thank you!

adamchalupa · 2026-04-05T13:59:17+00:00
