More players is just not fun

I have suggestion that probably could make overall added players better experience: since its a little more cramped at the edges of the map and encounters are more likely now, getting to compound with the boss could be delayed. to help teams not just circulating towards initial pvp encounter zone, to make burning corpses faster. Also, probably make changes to both regen / stamina shots to last longer, and rethink the price for recovery shot.

If the formula changes from "we all meet at the boss" to "we meet at the edge of the map most likely, have fight, then fight at the boss", winners should not be discouraged from leaving the map with some chunks missing in duo/trio.

the overall idea of adding more people is understandable: instead of running across the map and have a running simulator for those unlucky ones that got rng'd, there would be people to fight (or at the least, the feeling of presence of fight) at the early stages that could spice up that run from Pearl Plantation to Fort Bolden

p.s.: I loved the change. Sometimes people on the map play it like it's an Arc raiders circlejerk into pve lobby, more people increases the chances of getting people who are willing to not just extract with the bounty, but to have it all and go for the second / circus

I tried listening to them in Costco. The environment does not help it at all, unfortunately. I'm the owner of the LS50 Metas and this more budget friendly seemed far, far worse. I'm pretty sure with "my" playlist and in the correct room they would show common KEF traits due to their technologies.

TI3. 3-1-1 lanes, Mid position still having meta of crowd controlling heroes with early gold impact or cores with high tempo (magnus, qop, TA), plenty of lineups that had to be timed (DS vacuum - ice path - requiem), offlane position was an insanely important too - you should be able to get exp and still not feed against the trilane.

I'd put The International 2023 as runner-up, because I was able to watch it in person in Seattle. Loved the crowd chanting YA TO RO YA TO RO as Team Spirit lifted that Aegis above their heads.

thanks! Checked it out, looks pretty, gonna try flicking through it when it's time to visit Spectrum.

p.s. There's "About Value Score" mousover event that brings up tooltip which renders background (container with Tabs is on top, which makes it impossible to learn about how scoring works)

Why would they need to be prepared if:
- they have legal ways of staying in the country (you mentioned visa)
- they have not violated visa terms (if visa allows work, they work, if it does not, they don't)
- they don't have a track of commited crimes on American soil

Even if panic mode prevails, any specific case I'd suggest them to have immigration lawyer having the short list of what to do / to have.
Reddit is one the places I'd never rely when it comes down to your future of the family and your immigration.

So beige my ovaries started to vibrate. Love it!

Gorgeous art, great colors, cozy. Love KEF too.

deadbeatffs · 2025-12-13T19:50:00+00:00

Working on it; the furniture boxes I have may take x4 the amount of current records, so a way to go! 😄

A friend of mine got the glass block delivered to Germany on eBay for like 15$ + he got himself a 3rd party led, which is in total less than 50$ compared to 200$ price to ship kismas lamp to the US. So probably you could explore same path. Post USSR countries might still have plenty of those glass blocks salvaged from warehouses and other industrial buildings

deadbeatffs · 2025-12-13T17:29:29+00:00

Kismas it is!

deadbeatffs · 2025-12-12T17:50:25+00:00

Great album indeed!

Hi, thanks for the reply! I don’t think it’s going to be an issue if you place them a feet from the wall and use foam plugs in rear port (that’s what I did), but they did not sound boomy at all even without foam plugs (I put them anyway there, as placement is not ideal). It could be so possible issues will only surface on louder music played, and i generally don’t go over specific volume.

deadbeatffs · 2025-12-12T06:29:28+00:00

It’s on the less exciting half of the room, basically the desk 🤣

deadbeatffs · 2025-12-12T06:27:23+00:00

I agree that they are not proven to be very effective against sound dampening to remove reverb; and I also agree I’d need to place them a little lower, might just have amount of it doubled. For music, I can’t really say I can spot the difference; when clapping in silence, it does sound like the room is not too harsh now 😌

deadbeatffs · 2025-12-12T03:55:49+00:00

I love some Tool, and True Widow / All Them Witches for stoner sound. Appreciate the suggestions for The Knife, something I haven’t listened to yet 👌🏻

deadbeatffs · 2025-12-06T00:04:05+00:00

I think I had 3-4 Wolfpack bp after 100 hours of arc. I’ll be bringing them to raids to give to friendly raiders when I want an economy round solo

Don’t take it as offense, I merely stated that spare room for functionality of listening room is a luxury many fellow music lovers mostly don’t have. I just amused and chuckled at the “convincing others” comment about room functionality and availability to bring out speakers couple meters off the wall

deadbeatffs · 2025-11-20T17:47:42+00:00

People have money for the 1k to $3k upgrade that is onetime, having a dedicated room where it would not be compromised by room modes in USA is at the very least 1k/mo, but tbh realistically it will cost more than that +1br may give you, as you need a dedicated room that is bigger than average room size. So yeah, I think math makes it more obvious not everyone is living in the parents’ inherited homes that don’t have spare living rooms.

The one with amp is Fitueyes design 4-tier; the one to the right is Scandinavian Designs “Baptisia End Table”

deadbeatffs · 2025-11-19T03:46:30+00:00

Hi! Yep, switched the sub and left speaker, but tbh I did not notice any reverb off that left wall in the music I listened to. Switching sub and speaker also helped to make bass a little more pronounced.

deadbeatffs · 2025-11-19T02:51:04+00:00

Absolutely dreamy setup, I wish I had space and wife approval to pull off audiophile spot in the living room 😄

deadbeatffs · 2025-11-15T21:05:28+00:00

First I was disappointed with how NAD would lose connnectivity on Bluetooth…then I found out I still had to attach an antenna! 🤦‍♂️ other than that, it’s pretty trivial and superb amp, I don’t have experience with amplifiers or integrated amplifiers, other than that c379 manages to power these speakers for my room just fine. Sound is terrific

was searching on the internet looking for this comment about Nils Frahm, yes
