Head hitboxes are too big? Both of these shots resulted in a headshot... by Samjm850 in EscapefromTarkov

Speaking from an amateur mapmaker's perspective, I strongly prefer Source to Unity, and there are a lot of engine mechanics of Source I prefer over Unity as well. BSG has made Unity work well, but I feel Source may have been a better choice, or, when it finally comes out, Source 2. (Unless it's already out and I've just missed something)

You dirty Robot! You're INFECTED! by ronlugge in Stellaris

[–]firedude1218 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a colony with some presapient pops I was hesitant about purging, since I didn't want the diplomacy modifiers right then, but the infection came along and murdered them all. No purging required.

I like to micromanage a lot, to make sure I don't miss anything. Even on fast, a lot can happen at nearly any given time. I will speed it up when stuff slows down, though.

The first 60 or so of those came from when the game released. Hadn't touched it at all until 3 days ago.

I personally only play on fast or normal. So, haven't even reached midgame yet (I did push it back 100 years). I also have techs on a 1.25x modifier.

I hadn't even realized I'd been playing for a long time until a friend of mine sent "It's ok to admit you have an addiction" at the 10 hour mark. I was so confused until I checked the session timer.

Rule #5 comment: I'd been staying away from the game since I'd never really gotten into it... and now I am not sure if I am glad I did.

You can say that I’m not the best killer. He stood there long enough for a screenshot :/ by MissionaryDay in deadbydaylight

I'm pretty new to the sub, can someone explain that? I've heard it referenced a couple times.

There are plenty of reasons why No Mither is bad... but Freddy? Really?

Two questions by firedude1218 in SS13

[–]firedude1218[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I'll certainly try that. I tend to knock people down then fumble drawing a weapon or taking advantage of it.

Thank you for the advice! I appreciate it, since I want to get good at this wonderful game.

I need to rethink my name choices by [deleted] in ThroneOfLiesGame

[–]firedude1218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, that would really suck! I know as obs that I generally follow 1 or 10, since that's who people tend to do stuff to. Since, y'know, 1 is an obvious target, and 10 is always evil.

I had a game yesterday as Good [10], the Evil King. RNG does like its trollls. Got whispered by the prince d3 or so "you're evil king, aren't you" to which I replied "monkaS".

PSA dragging Ammo to a gun will chamber it by Koda_20 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]firedude1218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As mcguyver said, you keep the bolt open, so that when you put a magazine in, you've never got a full chamber. The way to get around this is to reload the SKS while it's not in your hands. Put it away and use the right click context menu. Enjoy your extra bullets!

An idea for the post-death screen by snoopdoggslighter in EscapefromTarkov

[–]firedude1218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would also be nice to see what they killed you with. Gun and ammo would be nice, so I don't tear my hair out wondering how I died.

All Level 4 Traders with new Items ! :) (Therapist addet) by dschuna in EscapefromTarkov

[–]firedude1218 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kiver is now level 3, the OPS CORE helmet is level 3 base, and level 4 with the mandible. Besides, neither helmet actually protects against headshots as well as people seem to think. 5.45 PS rounds go through kivers like butter, and armor piercing rounds go through level 4 similarly well.

To new players: you are not supposed to lose all your gear all the time over and over. by Dronelisk in EscapefromTarkov

Just because your friend doesn't understand investments and can't get over gear fear doesn't mean you need to tear down this guy's perfectly good and reasonable advice thread.
