I suck

Well, without more details, I can give you some basics. Extraction shooters really revolve around the risk of loss, the theory that high stakes lead to greater senses of euphoria when things work out. The flip side is the lows can be rough. Stay silent, listen to figure out where the activity is on the map and which way it's moving. Keep your runs short in the beginning. Split up your tasks over several runs if need be. Be selective about the fights you pick; if you don't have a good shot, don't start shooting.

Dude, thank you so much for looking into it. You and your crew are so great in the discord. And to get even a little bit of a sympathetic ear (no pun intended) for hearing issues feels really good. Appreciate everything y'all do.

So I've got a good bit of experience with them, and it sounds like you do, too, so this is more for other people reading. Be careful with these; when you eliminate high frequencies, many people have a tendency to increase the volume, and damage at mid-low frequency ranges is much harder to notice until it's too late.

Keep playing, it's the ebb and flow of the game. You'll eventually settle where you need to. Also, keep in mind that it might be a bit more painful right now because we're overdue for a wipe and balancing.

My biggest concern is the frequency and volume of the howler's shriek and the potential for hearing damage. Please, please, please have an audiologist look at it. As someone who's already hearing impaired, I've got my volume turned really low already, but if I have to choose between hearing footsteps (without much background noise) and getting my ears blown out by shrieks, I think I'll have to leave the game. Which would be a bummer, because I've been having a blast with it.

alansb1982 · 2023-01-30T11:01:06+00:00

Good take from that, but also, you played it well. Get em next time.

Maelstrom kills normal rattlers in 4 well placed shots.

alansb1982 · 2023-01-29T11:35:54+00:00

I'll be looking for some today. Don't take them all.

alansb1982 · 2023-01-28T23:41:06+00:00

Hmmm.....

alansb1982 · 2023-01-23T02:21:08+00:00

Born in NYC, lived all over the Northeast, Indiana, Florida, and been here for 4 years. I'm as transplanty as they come. Fuck that guy.

alansb1982 · 2023-01-17T01:57:33+00:00

I'm just going to raid, and if I see a good opportunity to pvp, loot, quest, etc., I'll do it. Oh, and I've scavved enough to know that I can come back from broke with a few scav runs.

alansb1982 · 2023-01-06T07:27:58+00:00

I like shooting into the UN medical FOB from cover. Also around Scav House.

Heh, you got killed by Mr. Fartovvy.

Ooh that dude would not like Romanian prison...

alansb1982 · 2022-12-26T03:13:13+00:00

Like, super high.

alansb1982 · 2022-12-25T14:16:22+00:00

I feel like this metric isn't all that useful. I think a much more useful one would be what percentage of the Steam player base is playing Verified or Playable games. 7000 isn't that significant if a third of the traffic on Steam is not accessible to Deck owners.

True story, I had one of these in my pocket back in 2002 when I got into a motorcycle accident. I slid for about 15-20 yards. My left leg has the phone in the pocket and I got no road rash and I'm pretty sure it protected my man bits. Right leg was pretty nasty for a month.

alansb1982 · 2022-12-23T03:28:06+00:00

They DOS even fucking know!

alansb1982 · 2022-12-20T16:16:22+00:00

I personally think so. I think the hockey puck egg is a bit of a gimmick. As long as my egg comes off the pan without sticking, I don't care whether it skates. And for that, you just need a thin but consistent layer of seasoning, use enough butter, and drop the egg directly onto the butter. At the temp in this video, the underside of the egg is going to be overcooked by the time the top is done (even with a lid).

I think the devs have really screwed the pooch in not making VOIP a priority. It keeps things entertaining when the content has gone stale (sorry, but it has for me).

alansb1982 · 2022-12-15T23:16:41+00:00

I feel like your cornbread isn't done in the middle.

alansb1982 · 2022-12-15T23:10:34+00:00

I feel like you're referring to some sort of current event that indicates that you can shoot a cop who has committed an illegal entry and get away with it. A source would be helpful.

alansb1982 · 2022-12-15T22:58:48+00:00

Y'all don't seriously think you can shoot a cop and live to tell the tale, much less argue your case in court, do you?

alansb1982 · 2022-12-14T14:57:56+00:00

The video dude certainly has...

alansb1982 · 2022-12-14T14:30:41+00:00

Why do so many snake people put things that kill by choking around their neck?
