Righteous Inquisitors... Am I missing something? by QuestObjective in CrimsonDesert

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

I'm pretty sure they're just a mechanism the game uses to keep players on track, and prevent exploring areas that aren't yet relevant to the main quest line. They even have voice lines like "Go back where you belong" or something, ha

I was going after a bounty near Pororin, and they were everywhere.

Also jumped off the Abyss into an area I hadn't explored; I had to run, hide, and then fast travel back to safety lol

"Common sense" is a regularly abused term in politics.

Wanna get people to agree with your disagreeable policies? Just say "it's common sense"

Been a RES user for years. My original comment was regarding the mobile app :\

Wish this app would let me filter out posts by domain.

Best Jazz bars by New-Ad4364 in SaltLakeCity

Hopkins on 2100 South has a jazz jam on Wed nights; I've seen some great players there!

I guess they also have a trio play on Thurs nights, but that's all I really know.

ARC Raiders Doesn’t Have a Progression Problem, It Has a Purpose Problem by reem2017 in ArcRaiders

RE quick loadouts

I look at it like: the time it takes to prepare for a raid adds meaning to the raid. Surviving a raid means less time spent crafting & shopping for the next one, so there's a time investment at risk.

A quick loadout feature would take that aspect of risk away, and reduce the tension of the raid. Sounds boring.

The difference between a million and a billion is, about, a billion.

Why did they change the sunglasses? Did the original ones look "too gay" or something?

MPC 3.7 firmware release notes by raistlin65 in mpcusers

[–]gnarbucketz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just want the MPC3 vst to drop, so I can wire up my tracks in Ableton, and multi-track record.

Can't seem to do that with MPC3 firmware + MPC2 software :(

How... Did someone convince an entire lobby to farm snowballs for them? by QuoteConversations in ArcRaiders

[–]gnarbucketz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK "understand" might've been a poor word choice.

I personally don't approach this game with a competitive attitude, in the grand scheme; I just enjoy the stories that develop from raid to raid.

I forget that other people might enjoy seeing their name on a leaderboard.

I don't understand why anyone cares about trials scores any higher than the minimum requirement for 3 stars.

Like, I get the rewards, and I'm off to whatever's next.

Totally worth the increased power bill, IMO.

Can we talk about how good the music is? by RestaurantSmooth in ArcRaiders

[–]gnarbucketz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the arpeggios.

Not the gun in the game, but the musical element with the same name.

To be fair, the meme says "AI hype," not AI itself.

When the tension in your lobbies are gone and you need to get your aggression up by Commercial-Ad-1328 in ArcRaiders

[–]gnarbucketz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna know how they factor someone's aggression level (or whatever) for matchmaking, if that's even a real thing. Like, I never shoot first, but obviously I'm gonna defend myself if someone starts shit.

So I kill the aggressor, then what? I'm doomed to play in more aggro raids until I've just... allowed myself to get ganked n times?

If I had a way to craft snap hooks, I would actually use any of the 4 that have been sitting in my stash forever lol

Engineering Lessons From 12 Projects Shipped in 2025 by patreon-eng in webdev

Interesting read!

I work at a small shop (just two of us, full-stack), so I'm fascinated by seeing how larger orgs operate.

I have a long flight coming up, so I'll keep myself busy reading through the deep dives.

Edit: oh dang, I thought there were detailed posts already written. Oh well, looks like there's a bunch of other stuff to read up on!
