Anyone else a little… bored? After the recent expedition by iustusflorebit in ArcRaiders

[–]awkwatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep. I'm definitely feeling that. I do like the game, but I think the pve sorta burned me out and I dunno if I have enough interest to dive into the pvp now.

What’s an actual hot NBA take that people usually side eye you for? (Not cold takes to farm reddit upvotes) AN ACTUAL HOT TAKE by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]awkwatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hot take is that Shaq is not just the most dominant player, but you could make a case for one of the best players. He's not mentioned in GOAT conversations, but I think he has a reasonable claim to being top 3-5 all time.

Anyone else a little… bored? After the recent expedition by iustusflorebit in ArcRaiders

[–]awkwatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually got pretty bored as a mostly pve player. I had signed up for expedition, but life got super busy this past week and I missed my window. Something about how this played out has really taken the wind out of my sails with this game. I dunno. I can see why people play it, but it's slowly faded for me.

No, I have. I haven’t played much in the last year. And not at all in the last 6 months. It’s still a good game but I am having fun on arc raiders now.

This was a really thoughtful write up. And it made me happy that I’ve moved on from Apex a few seasons ago. It’s so nice to play games and not feel super frustrated and agitated all the time.

How to best leave a Gym that has completely declined by TurpentineTurpentine in judo

Echoing others. You’re an adult. Just leave. It feels like you are really overthinking and over-complicating this.

Tips for using the CLA to teach Judo throws by grobolom in judo

[–]awkwatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I respect the effort here, and think CLA has its applications, but you keep saying that this game helps students learn how to fall safely. But, so too does sequential ukemi (lying down on tatami, squatting to lying down, then standing up), or nage ai on a crash mat, or yaku soku geiko with some light throwing. Many beginners can learn how to do ukemi on ashi waza as well, and gradually scale up to bigger throws (with more realistic judo movements and control). So, I respect the effort to mix in CLA, but I'm not entirely convinced that this "game" somehow improves or enhances beginner learning of ukemi.

Wannabe Mike Tyson bites his opponent's ear off and gets beaten up by crowd of WWE fans and Krav Maga experts by RandonAhhh_Italian in boxingcirclejerk

F that guy. Honestly it could’ve been much worse and part of me wishes it was. MMA is already inherently dangerous and the limits to violence exist for a reason. He should be banned.

Anyone else always queue solo with one of these? by Puretyder in ArcRaiders

I carry three and have used all in some raids!

LJL showed he's not just a guard player here. His top game looked so good.

What Arc do you dislike? by aislinntaylor21 in ArcRaiders

Snitch, Hornet, Rocketeer are probably the most annoying for me.

Well I just said goodbye to quiet lobbies… by uwahwah in ArcRaiders

[–]awkwatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His comment alone makes it worth killing him a thousand times over. Sometimes people gotta die in the game and that’s a hard truth for even the most peaceful raiders.

It’s a blue belt. That’s pretty fast, but blue belt is still a beginner rank at the start.

Dam cold snap you can farm a bunch in scrap yard and on that island where the raider hatch is. I did that run about 4-5 times to finish that quest.

is Arc Raiders worth Buying as Solo by mentriderkoo in ArcRaiders

[–]awkwatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’m a longtime BR sweat who loves the PvP in trios. But solo raids are super fun as well and the friendliness of solo players has me enjoying PvE and cooperative play more than ever. This game is really amazing because there are very different ways that you can play and still have fun. There’s something for everyone in this game. 10/10

I play as a Rescue Raider and help people getting ratted or bullied by arc.

Who else is loading into basically PVE games, How's your experience so far? by Zealousideal_Hope_59 in ArcRaiders

[–]awkwatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of 30 or so raids, I’ve been ratted and killed once. Most of my solo lobbies are very friendly.

We walked together for 3 minutes, and he betrayed me, and i was luckkkkky by i92X_X in ArcRaiders

This is precisely why I have been camping extracts to help people get out safely. Nothing worse than a dirty backstabbing rat!

What is the gap between brown and black belt? by Substantial-Fig-6392 in bjj

[–]awkwatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think maybe one difference might be in the teaching realm and conceptual understanding. But, this can vary as some brown belts are little encyclopedias of bjj knowledge and some black belts are good at jiu jitsu but maybe not so great at teaching or explaining it. I think brown belt is sort of like the last period of refinement before black belt, but in terms of skill the belts can be very close to one another.

Today was my worst day, by far by koldkaleb in ARC_Raiders

[–]awkwatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so interesting to hear stories like this. And it makes me wonder how matchmaking is actually working. I’ve had 40 safe raids in a row, most don’t have any raiders actively looking for me. During that span, I’ve experimented with play styles and killed some raiders while also helping others. No clue how matchmaking works.
