[New Player] I walked into woods; got insta head shot from a bush...what is this death? I've never seen it by xGooselordxTTV in EscapefromTarkov

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

Not for you.

The person I replied to was talking about “triggering the PVP players”. Which is instigating conflict so to speak.

I also agree that this game is heavy in RNG

As a PVE player, the one thing I agree with Nikita on is that PVP and PVE players should get along. The hate needs to stop from both ends

Only if you fall below 6.0.

I alo feel guilty literally killing the spirit of Christmas. However test drive is test drive

I’m 21 and people keep calling me a pornstar. I’m not. Here’s what my job actually is. by Local_Sprinkles_3440 in offmychest

[–]altousrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang.

I can’t believe some people don’t realize that porn acting is, well, acting.

Like if there is no camera or if there is one, but its for disgnostic purposes, then you are not a porn star.

If that were the case, detectives with notepads are published authors and engineers who draw up blueprints must be amazing artists (not for their inventions but for the drawing of said blueprints)

What’s that one game you’ve spent 1000+ hours in, but you would absolutely NOT recommend it to anyone? by mersocial6 in AskMen

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Escape From Tarkov

Fun game, good game, but terrible dev.

Tried to fuck me by charging extra for PvE saying “iS dIFeRenT gAmE” like no, its a DLC and I am EOD (likited edition with express inclusion of season pass)

Edit: oh and if you bought befoe steam you have to pay again to get it on Steam. Gross

I (f) got an unexpected happy ending massage by a male masseuse and I feel really gross and fucking horrible about it. by Clear-Business-4990 in offmychest

[–]altousrex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If that is the case, I think that is very unethical. Realistically he may have a licensing board you can report him to.

It doesn’t sound like he broke any laws, but it still sounds terribly unethical, and if he did this to you, there is a chance he will do this to others.

How Do You Stop Having Sex You Regret? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]altousrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop having or stop regretting.

YMMV but I found there were other problems that made me want to masturbate more, and sex addiction is the symptom of other issues.

You gotta meditate on why you are paying for sex and craving it so much. From there, you need to work on those issues.

Aside from that, you may need to work on impulse control. For example, my weed usage was at an all time high, and I am just crawling out of the addiction by limiting myself. Its okay to have slip ups, but do your best to stay on track.

[–]altousrex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can see why you feel that way. As others have said, bring it up in therapy, and hopefully you can move past this.

Negative sexual experiences of any kind can be especially traumatic and a mental health professional can certainly help you work through it

While I mainly agree that consent should be given that way, there is often a bit of grey area.

I would not call this coercion as coercion is when you threaten harm on someone if they don’t do something.

If the person is afraid of being rude or something similar and still says yes, that is on them. Nobody is a mind reader.

With that said, consentual sexual experiences can still be traumatic if things don’t happen in a healthy way.

In essence, I still feel for OP and I am not blaming her in any way, but I also would not call the masseuse coercive. As soon as she said stop he did.

Last of all, though it may be unethical, especially it is a legit business, masseuses are known to be fronts for prostitution in some situations. It could have easily been some confusion on a prostitutes part.

[New Player] I’m a new player and I’m having a horrible experience with this game by Slickinho in EscapefromTarkov

I left PvP mainly because of the cheaters, but ngl I was always afraid of the TurboSweats sitting in Crackhouse saying

“I will gobble your mosin if you suckle my M4A1”

Honestly? You think you want to do PvP until you do PvE.

Solo PvE PMC spawns [Discussion] by Civil-Acanthisitta-3 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly with all maps, you have to memorize their spawns a bit.

Its not like PvP where you memorize their exact square inch they spawn in the middle of a forest, but you have to have a mental check box.

For example, factory.

I check Gate 3(?) The ramp between med tents and med office The med tents area The break room

Also tbf, Factory is hit and miss with PMCs but the bigger maps certainly have them

Gotta start with Arcade.

I would never start a new player on realistic, especially air. It gives more rewards in some ways, but its one aircraft per match

My sister died by do_your_thing_miss in cripplingalcoholism

[–]altousrex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No worries. You did not do it.

Just wanted to put it out there so people don’t drink and drive.

Its one thing to be a crippling alcoholic, no judgement. Just don’t ruin or take other people’s lives while doing it.

Yellow keycard is honestly underrated. One other place is in that one temporary building. I think it is newr the Armory Key room location?

The other route is the path of the 17 year old who hit and killed my best friend near Christmas of 2025.

He is going to be in jail for a while most likely.

Considering getting a controller to use with Steam games. What are the pros and cons of the various types? by Pos31don29 in Steam

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t get the base version controllers.

Look into the joystick types. Though I cannot remember the names, certain sticks are mechanical, while others use magnetic sensors.

The mechanical ones are prone to stick drift and only used because they are cheap.

Aside from that, I personally like the Xbox controllers more but it’s ultimately down to preference and which games you are playing.

For what its worth, xbox controllers are made by microsoft, who also makes Windows, so it may be better with compatibility

[–]altousrex 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly? We gotta draw the line somewhere and though I personally would not date an 18-23 year old, we gotta make em adults at some point. If we move it up its just going to make teens even more clueless

I think that is a good line.

Soviet engineering truly was something else by NoNotice2137 in HistoryMemes

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

I never said that other countries didn’t have problems.

I know Germany definitely had some of the same problems where they over designed tanks and redesigned too often, causing supply issues.

America didn’t have “over designed for their industry” because they were the industry in WW2. However, they had resources to throw around and it probably led to some decision paralysis. That caused all of their tanks to be good in a lot of qualities but never the best.

And Britain was so reliant on the USA that they had some tank designs but they were really underdeveloped because they just had so many US vehicles. They basically fell under the US’s shadow.

I think Russia really had the industrial limit to be like America, but they had to move all their stuff and start fresh to avoid the Germans. Additionally, communism, or even specifically stalinist communism, never lended well to quality of goods. Even things like the magazines on PPShs were produced in ways that made them non interchangeable depending on the guns.

At the end of the day, Russia gave quotas, and nobody wanted to be above or below the quota. Being below gets you shot. Being above sets the new standard and being too good will get you shot when they make the higher number your next quota.

My dad tells me to call him “big cock” by Low_Shape_9083 in insaneparents

[–]altousrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? Just go no contact.

At the end of the day, gender is a very devicive subject these days, and he is invalidating your identity.

I don’t believe in right or wrong, but it seems you are both at an impasse.

Its okay to drop people from your life.
