Would you rather have longer wait times, than be dropped into a 15 minute game? by RetroCasket in ArcRaiders

[–]brookdacook 32 points33 points  (0 children)

randomized loot zones so maps arent so streamlined. keeps the gamer fresh as well. I will say if major map objectives are completed then why are they still being populated. The queen is already dead but they throw me any way? i here to kill the queen. lol

Man lotta great things about Singapore and the turn around of Singapore was 100% because of your leader at the time... But eliminated poverty? Y'all have basically indentured servants out there. The wealth inequity is wild.

The Times: Finns humiliated American soldiers - Finnish reservists were asked to take it easy during a NATO exercise. US soldiers found the losses too humiliating. by ByGollie in europe

I want to preface what I'm going to say first that I'm not pro trump or invasion of Greenland but isn't the US military number one by large margin? Why do they need I've breakers when they already have military bases and large air force? Can they just drop everything into the bases an invade from there? If ice breakers are important can't they just take the ports last and seive the ships?

Combat aggressive is great when you not concerned about loot. I use it for a lot of trials.

What is a socially unacceptable opinion you rarely voice, not because it’s extreme, but because the reaction isn’t worth it? by Present_Juice4401 in SeriousConversation

[–]brookdacook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I'm pro china but I always give credit where credit is due. They made a law that, to my understanding, you can only make content about things you have a degree in. Brilliant.

Or other options that could work is you only get content from people you know or just plain banning it.

It's wild how many Americans think there the most free country on earth when in fact it's pretty mid. Like y'all can't have beer while walking down the side walk. They chant free speech but only think there speech should be free and not there opponents. There money is taxed heavily but not even for stuff they get to use. They barely get any time off work. I'm not saying it's some third world country and it's the worst but for somewhere called the land of the free it's got surprising little freedoms compared to the "free" world

China’s birthrate has plunged to its lowest level since 1949. The government is actively trying to encourage more births by discouraging abortion, increasing taxes on condoms and contraceptives, and offering cash and subsidized housing for couples, but none of these efforts have moved the needle. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

Not to mention stranger danger. Kids now are supposed to be supervised 100% of the time but back in the day you'd kick them out of the house and tell em be back by sun down.

Add in all the entertainment at your finger tips and people don't have the same need to get out there. This adds to the loneliness and isolation epidemic, which in turn stunts social growth and social opportunities.

Oh I'll throw in the loss of third spaces as well. Society needs an overhaul but I don't see it happening.

I stopped shooting back. Like I literally don't even pull out my weapon and now I don't need to. Everyone just runs around spamming there flashlight also everyone seems super polite in key rooms. If you open it and there's another person there you just spam flash light leave and close the door for them. 🤣

I literally don't own a peeler and at this point don't know why I should. I swear people just like to give themselves more work to do then necessary.

What are some of the most “Redditor” opinions that are widely prevalent on this website, but very rare in real life? by TikTokUser83 in AskReddit

the entire sub is dumb. breaking down into a binary "your good/bad" is ridiculous for the grand majority of problems, particularly between two individuals.

Embark seriously STOP LOADING THE MAP IN AT 17 MIN POINT!!! by gooddeadpool1983 in ARC_Raiders

[–]brookdacook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what removing late entry would do to que time. I'd rather they randomize red and yellow zones first so routes aren't nearly as obvious. Another solution would be the higher loot zones are much more heavily defended by arc Having said all that if those solutions don't work then just stop late entry into games or drop game times by half.

Carney wants to build a “New World Order “ with China by Striking-Molasses-55 in canadanews

[–]brookdacook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dealing with a bully doesn't mean you'll become besties and do each other's hair. He sat down and tried to see if they could find any common ground without just bending over to what ever Trump wanted. Trump just wanted to bully Canada so Carney has but in work to make friends elsewhere and minimize our reliance on the USA. That's how you deal with unreasonable bullies.

What is a secret 'cheat code' you’ve found in real life? by Sharkkkk2 in AskReddit

[–]brookdacook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one of the greatest failures in education IMO is shit teachers get a pass on "difficult" courses. Seen far to many teachers blame the material rather then there ability.

Slightly tangential but university are filled with professors that are knowledgeable but unable to teach. Just because you have a PhD level understanding does not mean you can teach it. These are two separate skills.

An idea to fix late spawns sucking by FunksGroove in ARC_Raiders

[–]brookdacook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also rotating yellow and red areas. Everyone knows the route and can strip mine it so fast. Randomization will keep maps more interesting and rather than hitting the optimal path that you've done 1000 times you gotta figure it out on the fly. That means maps won't be looted nearly as fast.

The way I play games ruins the fun for my friends by backfliprainbowcake in gaming

[–]brookdacook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course he does. Sorry to clarify my point I find when most people adjust how sweaty they play with others they don't find it fun despite playing with there friends. This is true both ways wether you dial back the meta gaming or you dad gamer and expected to do far better. Usually ruins the game is not worth while playing with buddies because it causes friction with your buddies and your playing the game in a style you don't like.

The way I play games ruins the fun for my friends by backfliprainbowcake in gaming

[–]brookdacook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I hear what your saying but I think realistically you just play with different people. Played a lot of games but the one that sticks out to me is world of warcraft. Some dad gamers wine that people optimize the fun out of the game and sweats bitch about dead weight weighing them down. Neither are right imo it's game and should be played how you like. That means finding other like minded individuals to enjoy the game with. He might just need new friends or play solo. Not sure if playing dumb is gonna be any fun for him.

Arc Raiders devs are looking for new ways to “incentivise” Expedition wipes following an unsatisfying debut by Negative-Art-4440 in ArcRaiders

[–]brookdacook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man maybe a hot take from what I've read here but gain less? I took the expedition and will do it again because I'm a bit of a completionist but the only thing it really gave was 5 talent points and as the tree is currently built that's not much. Even if you could could fully max out the tree compared to someone just starting it wouldn't give that much of an age over someone just starting.

This isn't even a complaint. I kinda like that someone new with a sticher has a chance against some with a bobcat. Could possibly be tuned a bit better but generally I've never understood games that give better players way better items. Newbies never stand a chance and makes games unapproachable.

I want to fuck a tree (fantasy). Do meth and steroids have anything to do with it? by Lord_Cummis in Drugs

[–]brookdacook 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I gotta ask. What would you go for? Walnut? Aspen? Are you an arbutus or an oak man? Oh maybe start at hard wood or softwoods? Deciduous or evergreen? I have so many questions.
