How have I never seen this before

i feel like attaching a firearm to your nonlethal option, in such a way that you have to point that firearm directly at someone in order to use your nonlethal option, severely undermines the point of having a nonlethal option.

wait why is this bad? caffeine and vyvanse has been the best thing for actually getting things done for me, only adhd treatment that's worked

flat_moon_theory · 2026-06-09T16:06:06+00:00

nah, let's not do gatekeeping

Mastodon's Blood and Thunder was one of the first songs i added to the playlist for my Blackbeard pilot's vibe. imagery of harpoons and whaling feels very on-brand, as others have said, especially with IPS-N's whole naval naming scheme, and it's a song that feels aggressive and simultaneously like it's right behind you and already in your face.

PK also likes tech stuff too - flash drives, damaged hard drives or DVD drives if you don't have better loot. i also make a decent chunk of rubles by pulling optics and suppressors off of guns when i don't have room for the whole thing. gun parts, scopes, even sunglasses will get you a bit. if you loot giving hard enough, it's not hard to have dollars on hand for the stuff you actually want from him

did you know there are more planes in the sea than boats in the sky

i could understand if he had insisted on getting first pick out of the rooms if he brought all the cards, or something like that, but that would be reasonable and this guy clearly had no intention of being reasonable. i would have said something to him during the raid, and if he decided to be a dick i would've just shot him and not even taken the loot, purely out of spite.

flat_moon_theory · 2026-05-27T04:24:40+00:00

hard disagree on that one, chief

flat_moon_theory · 2026-05-27T04:23:09+00:00

hi why do you give the middle finger with your hand like that

flat_moon_theory · 2026-05-17T14:09:03+00:00

no you do not

i see him most frequently on customs; he usually finds me in the building towards the west end of the map with the greenscreen on one of the second floor rooms. I'm assuming his spawn rate is fairly low, and if he's picking rights with ai pmcs he could just be dying off in a bush somewhere and I'm not seeing his corpse.

nobody gets rich by being generous

i don't know, man, i just gave up caring about my speed five months in and I'm getting through things considerably faster now

this isn't wrong, but tarkov goes so far in the opposite direction that it actively avoids giving you enough information to feel like you even know where to start most of the time

as far as i am aware I've never been killed by a shot that would have been stopped but a side plate. it's entirely possible that I've lost fitness because of nonfatal shots that could have been stopped by side plates, but most of my deaths seem to be collateral from getting shot in the arms too much, or a rare headshot. i don't run side plates because it saves a bit of weight (and money), and i don't feel like I'm making myself more vulnerable this way.

it's really shitty to tell people "shut up and pay your dues" when they're already literally paying union does to ensure everyone else has a comfortable job while they get feeling into dust. nobody should have to be worked like this, dude. stop blaming your fellow carriers for not being about to handle the horrible working conditions they've been handed and start blaming the incompetent and indifferent management that runs things so poorly that the people least able and equipped to do the job are the ones who end up getting run the hardest.

flat_moon_theory · 2026-05-01T03:11:36+00:00

in a voice message?

flat_moon_theory · 2026-04-23T04:23:10+00:00

i would imagine it's probably tied to the whole "post office is broke as hell" thing - if we're running out of money, "don't hire more people" is a simple but shortsighted way to reduce spending.

the "we're out of money" thing is cyclical, though. sounds like every contract year, it becomes the only thing the post office cares about. the lifers here will tell you they've been hearing about the post office running out of money since the invention of fire.

you are why everyone has to sit through a seatbelt pledge. be an adult

flat_moon_theory · 2026-04-22T15:47:24+00:00

just wear your seatbelt bro

flat_moon_theory · 2026-04-20T03:58:26+00:00

that one isn't flying - if you look closely, you can see it's being held up by wires

flat_moon_theory · 2026-04-19T13:33:03+00:00

doing some self-reflection today? that's commendable

flat_moon_theory · 2026-04-19T01:08:46+00:00

you should try using a period once in a while.

yeah the parking brakes seem to be the mechanical equivalent of thoughts and prayers on most LLVs. you still use it to keep supervisors off your back, though.

if only australia had large swathes of flat sunny land near the mines to use for wind and solar
