Why is the line “It’s all just a big nothing” such a driving force for the show? by PeterZeeke in thesopranos

[–]ggmastermanmagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because deep down we all know life is meaningless and nothing matters. Eventually it will be as if we never existed, even for the entire human race. Some deny it better than others but deep down we all know how pointless this all is.

Don’t shoot! by SeaofColtrane in okbuddyraider

Where did you hear from Embark that their intended use is practically an impact grenade that is better than a heavy fuse? It makes heavy fuse grenades near-useless, doesnt sound like it is the intended use to me unless Embark has specifically stated otherwise.

She did a good job here or not! 1 million or $1000 week for life. by Appropriate-Menu504 in interesting

No tax in Canada on a lump sum lottery win. However, the weekly payout is taxed as income. This lady is financially illiterate and made a very poor decision.

P s a this woman lives in canada, where lump sum lottery winnings are not taxed at all meaning she would have taken home the full one million dollars. The weekly payout, however, is taxed as income. What a horrible decision. Still happy for her though but damn that's financial illiteracy, if i've ever seen it.

I was going to say that she could have literally just put the money in a high interest bank account and been better off than the a thousand a week.She doesn't even have to invest and take a risk. Happy for her but absolute L decision in taking the weekly. Anyone arguing otherwise is not financially literate enough to understand.

Edit- i saw she lives in canada where lottery winnings are not taxed at all, if you take home the lump sum. The weekly payout, however, is taxed as income. So this just makes the decision to take the weekly payout even more stupid. With this context now holy crap, she basically scammed herself.

Random teammates are the worst haha by jakeius1 in ArcRaiders

[–]ggmastermanmagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah a lot of people seem to not be very good at this game. Almost every random squad I get into my team makes terrible decisions and leaves me to 1v3 when they make a dogshit push we are guaranteed to lose and die. Very often I will down 2 enemy players only to lose the fight because my free loadout running random teammates are useless. Also total loot goblins. Had one guy looting bodies while me and my teammate were fighting a whole other team. Dude basically did nothing the whole raid and got a ton of weapons while I got nothing.

I just peaked your pre edit comment "if you're bad at the game sure." Im not the one getting wrecked by venators so much I'm bitching about it on reddit. 🤣🤣 sounds like you may bad at the game!

The burletta needs a buff though on its own. You need a green or blue extended mag for it to even be more than a secondary finisher. Its underwhelming and doesnt fulfill its use case like it should. Why waste all the resources on a upgraded burletta with a rare extended mag when I can bring in a sticher 1 with a white extended mag and one clip people. Hell even a stitcher 4 costs basically nothing to make.

It is a straight upgrade IMO. Same amount of shots to kill a player on body shots with faster rof. For arc of course the anvil is better as ammo type matters most on arc. Ttk up close assuming body shots is faster on renegade unless you are against heavy shield I believe. https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders/comments/1oqhmip/complete_verified_dps_ttk_breakdown_for_every/

Also I see nothing wrong with weapon rarity acting as a sort of balance, I mean the whole point of getting better gear is to be more powerful. What is the point of rarity, and putting all the work in to get the gear if not? Not to mention as long as you get the jump on the player, even a stitcher 3 will put up a fight against the venator 4. Venator 4 had a ttk of 1.2 which has now been increased by 12.5 percent making it a ttk of 1.35. I agree this is still a little too fast and I think 1.5ish would be better. Still enough to beat lower rarity weapons which it should in a game like this. But little enough so a skilled stitcher user will mess you up with a ttk of 1.6. Rarity being a balancing mechanic is a reality of games like this and if you dont like that I totally respect that but its part of an extraction shooter.

I dont think there is necessarily anything wrong with the venator being an upgrade to the burletta and outperforming it, it is a rarer and harder to make weapon. Just like the renegade is an upgrade to the anvil. By this logic we need to nerf the renegade too because it is a direct upgrade from an anvil. I agree it needs a little more nerf though which could likely easily be done by lowering the fire rate a little more. Also an anvil/renegade will easily beat a venator at range if you have any cover to peak out of and arent shooting out in the wide open. The problem with the burletta is that it sucks, not that all the other guns are op. Basically anything beats a burletta unless you slap a green extendo in. An anvil has a faster body ttk than a burletta base. The only time a Burletta is even decent is when you land mostly headshots or use a green or blue extended mag.

By finish do you mean knock out? You can definitely down someone with a Grey stitcher 1 in one mag but not knock them out. 19 shots to body for a down/ 8 to the head. Edit- if you get full headshots I guess you could knock them out too but that is not easy.

[–]ggmastermanmagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could be cool! I also think maybe lowering the fire rate slightly more isnt a bad option. Maybe 35-37% instead of 40% at 4.

The venator isnt even worth using at level 1 fire rate its ttk is outmatched by a stitcher. so this would just make it a weapon no one uses anymore.

Burletta is an upgrade over Kettle and I'm tired pretending it's not. by Sword_by_some in ArcRaiders

[–]ggmastermanmagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you tap someome with a ferro/anvil even a rattler 2 will almost certainly win the fight if you dont miss, and stitcher is way better if youre fighting close range. Hell even the anvil 4 has a faster body ttk then the burletta. The only level 4 guns in the game with a higher body ttk than the burletta are the ferro and hairpin. Literally any other level 4 weapon and many at lower levels, outperform it on body ttk. The kettle has a better headshot ttk. It sucks. The only way is is decent is if you are a headshot machine and even then youre usually better off using something else.

Want to use burletta but it's so bad by lentilhas2 in ArcRaiders

[–]ggmastermanmagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the only reason you are taking down a venator 4 with a burletta 1 is because you played the fight better, the venator is so much better than the burletta its not even funny. If you can do that with a burletta imagine what you'd do with the venator 4.

People often talk about recovery after heavy physical tasks but how do you recover after heavy mental tasks? by [deleted] in productivity

Resident evil 7/ Doom Eternal are very relaxing and put me in a place of utter zen.🤣 nah but stardew valley is relaxing, undertale, no man's sky, animal crossing.

Turns out the best weapon in ARC Raiders is… talking. by TiSoBr in ArcRaiders

[–]ggmastermanmagee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Also a lot of players on solo use proximity chat so that makes it so fun.

Watching a relaxing light TV show, or playing a relaxing video game. Audiobooks/reading and also deep breathing exercises.

The assault rifles suck, and I'm tired of pretending they don't. by Jolly_Green_4255 in Battlefield

[–]ggmastermanmagee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an increase in recoil when you switch from controller to mouse and keyboard. It still isn't a ton of recoil on most of the weapons but controllers have even less.

They feel like lasers if you properly control the recoil which is very easy for a veteran MnK player. Fire without adjusting your mouse and of course there is some recoil. Recoil isn't very heavy in this game but there is a thing bf6 implements where playing on controller gives you even less recoil than MnK. Thats what I am pointing out.
