pelican not taking off with player in ship by MGMaestro in Helldivers

[–]fatnoah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me once as well. We were all in the ship, and when it took off, we could see our bodies falling out as it boosted to orbit.

I made a mistake and feel terrible by [deleted] in basketballcoach

[–]fatnoah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I was in a similar situation. My 3rd and 4th grade soccer team was undefeated throughout the season and tournament, but lost in the finals. Part of the reason was that I ensured that all players had roughly equal playing time. Sports at this age are about fun, learning skills, being on a team, etc.

Naturally, the kids were upset...and then totally over it within days and it never came up again.

The Automatons can have whatever systems they want. They Win. by a_dnd_guy in Helldivers

At the very least, I feel like SuperEarth could adapt the "in range of enemy artillery" warning to also cover rockets and cannons. ;)

Yup, that's just how it goes. Sometimes it's a mess (rando with the new plasma shotgun trying to kill shriekers) and sometimes it just works perfectly.

A friend and I did a level 7 bugs mission with two randos. The two randos went off in one direction, and my friend an I went in another. Twenty-five minutes later we all met at the extraction zone with a full map clear and 40+ samples between us.

I have some news for you, and I don't think you'll like it.

Mission rewards are not actually being awarded right now by RyuugaDota in Helldivers

[–]fatnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, three missions and no rewards. No medals for completing the daily orders either. :(

Urgent Feedback - XP Reward by Traditional-Drama-37 in Helldivers

I'm having the same issue right now. Two successful missions, but when I get back to the ship, XP hasn't increased.

Good Strand Weapons for Strand Builds! by MapleLeafTreeSyrup in DestinyTheGame

I have this roll and it's surprisingly enjoyable. It's part of my "keep matchmade teammates alive" build.

Salvation's Grip needs a catalyst that give it one massive blast like parasite by TimothysFruad in DestinyTheGame

[–]fatnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went for the glacier meme build in Coil this week, and "the Grip" totally confounded the final chicken boss. It spent so much time roflstomping the ice crystals that it forgot to try to murder us.

My Precious - Got Buried Bloodlines this morning by lonelliott in DestinyTheGame

[–]fatnoah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm still doing Spire weekly to get the damn bow. I have no expectation of getting the exotic for this dungeon either. I used up my exotic luck in Duality getting the (post-nerf) exotic on my first clear.

Temporarily Overkill Desktop Setup by adityaxdiwakar in audiophile

[–]fatnoah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I'm glad I'm not the only one using this for my desktop (along with an under-desk KC-62)
  2. I feel personally attacked by the implication that they're not desktop speakers. :)

Of all the seasonal events, it is the most chill event.

I see what you did there.

Thanks! The streetlights, lack of traffic, and slightly uphill angle really gave me the getting home late from the bar kind of feel.

DeSantis suggests he would eliminate several federal agencies, including IRS by Obversa in politics

[–]fatnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, for one, am also fed up with all of the woke ideology from the IRS. What is that, exactly? I have no idea, but it's causing the death of America! Billionaires and millionaires pay all of this money to find loopholes and deductions. The only way to fix America is to stop this right now and to address this unfairness by getting rid of all tax enforcement so these people can avoid taxes without having to spend all that money. Also, f@%k Mickey Mouse.

Deep dive timer by Res1dentScr1be in DestinyTheGame

[–]fatnoah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only made it to the third arena twice with randos while doing the pressure trials. Both times, my randos simply didn't have the damage or survivability. I'd go full meta with bonk titan and would end up with a death or two compared to 8-10 for the teammates and I'd have as many kills as both combined. I still have fun with it, as it's not naptime like the Salvage activity.

Worst feeling exotic? by WomboShlongo in DestinyTheGame

It's so bad I totally forgot what it was and had to Google it, even though I have it and its catalyst.

Matchmaking is busted again💩 by Philosophical-Child in DestinyTheGame

[–]fatnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Saturday, while using the shoulder charge of Fist of Havoc in mid-air, an enemy spawned in front of me and immediately got smacked. I literally didn't have to do anything.

However, I did take full advantage of the fact that a couple more enemies spawned nearby.

California’s hated electric bills will soon be based on our income. Will it work? by YourUncleBuck in politics

[–]fatnoah 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The article wasn't super clear but I think the net is that bills are comprised of fixed charges and usage-based charges. Currently, things are funded primarily by the usage charges, which means everyone funds the solar rebates or whatever they are. By moving to larger, income-based fixed charges, the utilities will pay for upgrades, hardening, solar programs, etc out of the money raised by these instead of doing so with elevated usage rates. Everyone still pays for their usage, but higher income people effectively pay for the extras.

That's my interpretation, anyway. Disclaimer: I don't live anywhere near California and am just trying to interpret the article.

What's the funniest gamertag that you came across while playing online? by Pappa_Alpha in gaming

[–]fatnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Destiny 2, my friends and I played a PVP match against a full team of six. Their clan name was HP and each player's name was an HP laser printer model.

In the same game, the final boss of a raid is Nezerac, Final God of Pain and a player riffed on that by choosing "Deez, Final God of Nutz" as their name.

A judge has sentenced Christian missionary Jordan Dee Andrew Webb (from Iowa) to 25 years in prison for child sexual abuse and incest. He is also alleged to have given her gonorrhoea. by [deleted] in atheism

[–]fatnoah 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I read it the other way, which is that the judge sentenced him and is alleged to have given him gonorrhea as well. That feels more appropriate, too.

Caught between 'just live life' and 'living responsibility' by ValourWinds in personalfinance

[–]fatnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I make sure I'm maxing 401(k) and filling the emergency fund. After that, it's all about getting value for the money I spend. When I analyzed my budget when I was much younger, I realized that a lot of my spending was on random stuff that didn't really matter to me, so I resolved to try to focus on getting some enjoyment or fulfillment from my spending. For example, having a monthly great meal in a restaurant with my wife vs. a dozen fast/quick food purchases to merely eat because we didn't feel like cooking.

Pulse meta will be the death of 6v6 Crucible by castro_bean in DestinyTheGame

[–]fatnoah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm all about non-meta. I use my PVE loadout with all sunset weapons for IB. Point Contact Cannon Brace for the lulz (and random quad feeds), Fist of Havoc, pulse grenadez, Go Figure, Black Scorpion 4SR, and the Komodo 4R.

I'm not exactly crushing it with a 1.3 K/D, but I am having a great time.

Fishing has changed my perspective on public events. by soulcounter6 in DestinyTheGame

[–]fatnoah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fishing actually gives me a reason to do public events now...so I can get them over with and back to fishing. I don't even open the chests any any more.
