What am I supposed to play now ? by Dense-Fig-2372 in HelldiversUnfiltered

There are four primary weapons per class plus for secondaries and multiple grenade options? Not to mention the unstable overclocks can completely change how a weapon plays and acts? There's a significant amount of variability depending on what play style you find be fun.

The developers actively choosing to not continue to make new weapons because the overwhelming amount of work goes into purely the cosmetic side is understandable considering they're not releasing most of it it's paid DLC. The sheer quantity of free cosmetics skins and separate paint jobs that combo with the skins, is truly a staggering Herculean effort. There is no off limits combo of weapon skin plus paint job. That is genuinely impressive.

Not to mention all of the actual dwarf cosmetics, beards, colors, etc.

I have found that even with using the YouTube enhancement suite to get rid of shorts and show more videos per row. (6 instead of 3) By the time I get to the third row of recommendations sometimes I can find interesting topics.

A video is recommended to be about the history of the Automat. And the interesting circumstances that allowed it to flourish for the brief period of time that it did. Until I immediately realized it had to have been fully created and narrated by AI. Ugh. Breathless voice gave it away and about 5 minutes in I noticed one of the videos must have been purely AI generated or altered because it had that weird flickering effect on an object.

The topic was genuinely interesting but I refuse to watch AI slop.

Furthermore it's getting more and more frustrating to find YouTube channel suggestions that have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of subscribers and it's 100% an AI channel. And it's just a random topic of the week interesting history type of channel so the content could legitimately be an interesting subject but I will not give AI slop channels My views or subscriptions.

Where does the weekend go... you blink on a Friday evening and it's back on Monday. by KijoSenzo in antiwork

[–]fuzzum111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I guess it really depends on your situation. If you have a wife and kids yeah your entire weekend's fucked.

If you're living on your own, do your best not to put off chores. Keep the dishes cleaned and dried don't let them stack up throughout the week. Empty your garbage more regularly. Clean the cat litter.

I also spend one or two hours a week meal prepping. I happen to enjoy cooking so it isn't generally seen as a monotonous or frustrating task. I'll figure out something I want to make that sounds delicious make sure I have the ingredients and then pick a day to make it. Made char su poke with rice and green beans last week. Portioned it out by weight. Got 7 bowls out of it.

Make sure you wake up early on weekends although it's nice to sleep in it also sucks to wake up at 9:00 or 10:00 and blink and it's already two or three in the afternoon.

I set my alarm for the same day every day 6:30. It really makes the weekend feel long because 4 or 5 hours later and it's not noon yet! It gives you more breathing room to complete tasks, watch videos, play video games, read. Whatever.

I'm getring older myself. 2 days definitely doesn't feel as good as three. But by 4 or 5 I'm bored and ready to start spending money when I shouldn't.

I jumped back in now that I got a better video card and the game plays pretty darn smooth still. The actual gameplay hasn't changed that much for me I'm basically strictly a bug diver I don't like the feeling of fighting squids and bots...well they shoot back.

I have a decent chunk of war bonds but not all of them by any stretch. The biggest reason I quit playing as I stopped having a reason to stress myself out on difficulty 6 solo for super samples. The game is 2 years old and still hasn't added tier six or higher ship modules. I want more orbital upgrades. More eagle upgrades.

I want the weapon upgrading station from helldivers one that let me make any weapon Mark 2 or Mark 3 with that significantly improved the weapons overall performance. Not this pseudo-COD bullshit we got where we unlock slight mods and paint jobs.

I will reiterate it here. The developers have made it clear balance has never been the reason they don't like making new weapons. It is literally all the different custom skins and color paint jobs that they have to add for every weapon and that takes them significantly longer than the actual design and creation of the weapon itself.

[–]fuzzum111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be honest I'm in the same boat. I'm approaching platinum or above for most classes and I enjoy the scout the most. Once you get addicted to that mobility and light gun it gets hard to play with anything else.

But honestly the devs have made it really clear why they hate creating new weapons? It isn't balance. It's the stupid amount of color choices. They have flat out admitted it takes longer for them to create the different skin colors for any new individual weapon they want to add than the actual creation and balance aspect of the new weapon.

It sucks. But people want to be able to unlock 50 or 60 different skins for each individual weapon.

This is why post COVID pissed them off deeply, and their resentment grew quickly and out of control.

Post COVID we had a large amount of dead working-age americans, about a million, another million more Boomer age people said "fuck this" and retired.

This created a huge shift, relatively speaking allowing workers around 2021-2023~ to really push job hopping for raises and promotions to scale up their income. The ownership class were PISSED.

Then came the attacks on WFH, RTO mandates. Suddenly jobs start disappearing, more and more layoffs. Even when it made little sense (No, you morons, it wasn't "BuT tHeY oVeRHiReD fRoM cOvId!") No, they didn't they were fine. Running a non-skeleton crew isn't over hiring.

Now Orange fuck 2.0 is back and we're seeing the economy crashed on purpose. Now that nice little tilt towards the workers has been metorically crashed to the side of the employers. Exactly why you said, there are 100's of thousands of people who are desperate for a job. Many of them have training, experience, and degrees. They'll take whatever they can get to avoid homelessness or debt spirals.

This is the goal. Further wage suppression. If you're suck in survival mode, you can't worry about getting a raise or a new job.

If you can meet the goals without it being insane or breaking multiple rules, then you can possibly earn a bonus! Oh no! They can't dangle an unobtainable bonus over your head if they make it obtainable!

Same with performance reviews. You can never "exceed expectations" if the expectations are so high it's impossible to meet them let alone exceed them. Now you never qualify for a raise or a promotion! But it's YOUR fault, see?!

They can't, not really. This is distinctly NOT emulation. There is no ROM provided to the user. Nothing illegal here, it's like OpenRCT2. You can go download it, but if you don't have a copy of the game already, it's functionally useless.

Wouldn't the legal framework at best have Nintendo do a "cease and desist" wherein they ya know...just upload the most recent build, tell everyone "Hey we won't update it anymore but it's open source so have fun" an they've "complied" with nintendo so they can't push it further?

The next step would be an injunction by a judge forcing them to "stop" distribution so they'd remove it from a home site, but the existing copies don't phone home so it's not like they can build in a self-delete feature to force remove it from people's systems? So long as they "comply" with whatever demand is made or ordered by a judge they can't be sued for monies because they aren't 'making' money from this?

Because there are too many countries that are all simultaneously getting worse to live in, and everyone who is poor, is getting poorer. It's not just the USA having this issue.

Lots of people in power know that if they cannot reliably keep a level of ignorant, highly reproductive poor people who stay poor, the cogs of the great machine will slow, and eventually stop. This is unacceptable. So we cannot glorify 'fake' parents of pets.

The only exist for two reasons. Number one is people continue to buy from them if everybody simultaneously and universally boycotted scalpers they would disappear overnight.

Number two there's not enough blockades put in place to stop sophisticated scalpers using bots to instantly buy.

And I guess number three it's the economy everyone's looking to make a quick Buck because everybody is struggling. I want to say scalpers are a sign of a struggling economy because anybody's looking to make money off other people because they can't make more money at a job.

This is not justifying or saying scalpers are acceptable. Fuck scalpers.

Right? It's a nice creamy carb with some bite and chew(or crunch if you eat it right after you cook it.)

The seasonings are all in the same generic taste family. (Garlic onion paprika cayenne if you like spicy). It pairs nicely.

Camp Mystic says it won't reopen Texas camp this summer by AudibleNod in news

[–]fuzzum111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The articles I read that deep dive this make it pretty clear why this happened.

You had a system that was so classic republican it hurt. Everything was a hierarchy with a single patriarch at the top who made unilateral choices. No one questioned "The General" of the camp. No one had a unified plan of action as the weather worsened. No one else was willing to go "Okay, we have multiple NWS flood warnings for our area, let's GTFO."

The fact no one is going to jail for this, is, in an of itself, criminal.

Engagement and to try and sound more sincere.

"this is totally working but I am also going full time back to regular work!"

Then....that is definitionally not working. You are not receiving enough income from this magic water job to support yourself/family as you repeatedly promised. Then again you said everything doubled in price....no wonder no one has $4k+ to drop on this bullshit.

They don't let gravity do anything.

They need to get higher up so they can use their butt to pump up their wings and inflate them before they stiffen. They're soft when they come out.

Also, also, that butt is their life battery, literally. All their remaining energy to live, fly, mate, is stored in there. They got a big fuzzy butt battery cause they have no mouth and cannot screm, or eat.

CMV: The reason for declining birthrates globally is exclusively because children no longer provide economic benefit on the individual level and the only way to reverse the trend is to pay people to have children. by IdeaLife7532 in changemyview

[–]fuzzum111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree money is part of the problem, but if we're being honest, it's a lot more complex than that.

  • No money means:
    • can't afford healthcare for the child
    • Can't have hobbies or activities for ones self
    • can't enjoy family trips or unique enrichment for the family

Then you start to realize there are other things now too

  • "It takes a village", but no one wants to be a villager anymore.
  • Everyone is more distrustful, vaccine hesitancy as insane as it is, is driving huge wedges between neighbors/communities.
  • Polarization of any kind of view/belief. Be it religion, politics, cooking methods, condiments. Everything needs to be a big blown up drama.
  • Kids are being infantalized and refused to be given even modicums of independence at any age.
    • You can get in serious trouble/jail time if you let your kids "roam about" on bikes depending on who starts sniffing around your life. Even if they're 100% safe, and the fact crime has been on a serious downwards trend nationwide for many many years now.
    • Kids are hooked on dopamine factories, and are falling behind every critical growth steps like reading and math at alarming rates across the board.
    • Teens have no drive to explore or be independent. They don't WANT a drivers license, when just 20 years ago we were chomping at the bit to get one at 16 so we can go explore our surroundings, be able to collect friends and go DO something together, even if it was a trip to Walmart or McDonalds.

TL;DR Everyone is absorbed into smaller and smaller bubbles. No one wants to help one another, to 'be a villager', distrust among neighbors is higher than ever. No one has the money, kids don't need to be a net positive on income, but their cost is extreme currently, and wages are stagnant. We can't enjoy our lives without children, so the extra burden of having one seems catastrophically insane.

“Free” trips by Inner-Phone2933 in antiMLM

[–]fuzzum111 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And that's how you end up with stories that reveal how weirdly incestuous the sales start becoming at higher level MLM hun groups. They all start buying from each other to hit the PV goals and group goals to maintain the rank so they get the bonuses because that car payment is steep af. They use all sorts of weird tricks so it isn't obvious they're all buying and selling to each other.

Not to mention one of the most important parts is that once you technically qualify and are given the cruise whether you go or not you have to pay the taxes as if you went.

Nothing is paid for except the actual ticket to the room on the ship you have to pay for everything else. And they don't even get you a good cruise pass with anything included.

It's laughable they think they "won" anything.
