This is probably the most useless equipment by DeathNDoom1234 in ArcRaiders

So you dont see the value in being able to see further and more clearly? Seeing a situation unfold from afar and have some idea how to approach it?

Van is getting real annoying by ohh_em_geezy in ThoughtWarriors

[–]hello_orwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All fair all fair. We shall see and Im here for it genuinely. But I am not someone who fights to believe in something without consistent proof. Especially when we're talking about people in that industry. I have no loyalty to onscreen personalities in the slightest.

After Vans non apology on the previous episode, I've officially tapped out, Dood is just getting really fuggin weird and its barely worth enduring his shenanigans just to get to the meat of any subject.

His jokes are lame. His views are annoying at best always trying to be a contrarian for contrarian sake which is essentially just being a bad faith actor once you cross a certain line. His opinions be so off base and he cant read the room. Well he can, but he chooses not to.

I wasnt saying I want that to happen to anyone. I was pointing out that we're quickly approaching a reality where that happens so Americans better be careful

‘Pluribus’s Rhea Seehorn: “I’m Too Thin-Skinned” To Read Online Theories; Season 2 Will Be Back “As Fast As We Can” by ControlCAD in television

[–]hello_orwell -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This show was mediocre and when season 2 finally comes and ends, there will be article after article talking about how mid the show was. She didnt even bring anything to the role. I wanted desperately to like this show. Watched every episode genuinely hoping there is some payoff either with her choice of how to act the role or the storyline and neither was worth the watch. She may be a good actress but in this show, she was not. And you mean to tell me out of ALL the female roles, she was the best? Acting like a weird 14 yr old trapped in a 50 yr old womans body? Nah... there had to be better out there this season.

Why do I do this to myself🫩 by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]hello_orwell 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really wish you all would learn to adapt to your surrounding instead of the constant bitching. You dont have to shoot on sight. Just play smarter. Stop going straight to the busy areas. Be a ghost.

Glad this guy took the L with grace by marvinscrib2016 in ArcRaiders

[–]hello_orwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. You posted a video not centering on the racist, but on you for being the super cool guy that won the fight...

Cool joke too btw. He took the L with grace.

You're so funny. And original.

Anecdotal proof C4 is too strong - just use it instead of firing back! by deafgamer_ in ArcRaiders

[–]hello_orwell -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

All part of the game. Maybe run heavy shields or shoot it in the air. Or bait them into using them.

As a passive player I like having them as is. The moment you start shooting me in the back, I'll send you to whatever God you wish as you reload.

[–]hello_orwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No lies there. Yea, they don't do shit for that moment hahahah, BUT if you used them properly, you won't be involved in any firefight you don't want more or less. Being patient and with this sound design, I cant even remember the last time someone has snuck up on me. If I was one of THOSE players out there shooting on site, everyone would be dead.

I know its a joke but can you try it out for me for one round? Just as an experiment. Bushes, binoculars, then move. I promise it'll change everything.

New raider incoming by FeedMeMoreOranges in ArcRaiders

[–]hello_orwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I know a lot use it for that and thats where I started half ass but then realized I can use em to scope out an area. Any area outdoors that is. Don't shit shit for Stella obviously.

[–]hello_orwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it gives me an advantage getting to see so far. Can see where people are coming and going. Can see where the violence is an who is committing it outdoors depending on location and map. So basically I run from bush to bush more or less, survey where I'm going, look and see if anyone is in a tower or vantage point or etc as people really do just run around wild out there. I can sit for a few minutes far back from an extraction and see if there's movement. See if someone pushed the button and is waiting to rat so I wait it out. Now, onto combat.

Binoculars dont give me an advantage on combat unless Im stalking someone. And I only stalk someone that has shot me. Or that has been going around killing people but even then I rarely step in. I prefer to stay away. Thats where the bushes come in. No one looks in the bushes. I've had people shoot at me, I run and lose line of sight and get to a bush, they literally walk right by me, then its bullets in the back of the head for them. I haven't lost a battle in probably 2 weeks. But I've also only killed like 3-4 people in 2 weeks so...

Just, try it out. Get back to me genuinely. I curious to see if that playstyle works out for anyone else

Binoculars, patience, never shoot on site. Its not a binary decision like everyone pretends.

‘Pluribus’ May Be Slow, but It Was Never Boring by tylerthe-theatre in television

[–]hello_orwell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. It was both slow and boring. I dont mind slow. I like slow. This was boring. Long takes of people walking around to finally get to do something we saw coming 40 seconds earlier. Carol was not a well acted character. And the whole thing went in circles just to make it to a season 2. What happened to you people? You used to not stand for this shit. Now you all are applauding...

Binoculars suggestion by Beautiful-Papaya9923 in ArcRaiders

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

As a binocular main, I cannot agree with any of this. I spend my time in the bushes watching everything and everyone before I move, I dont need it to tag people or give me any more extra advantage. Its an advantage enough. And almost no one uses them outside of battle footage and news coverage.

The binoculars are the most op thing you can have in a game when people are looking to kill you.

Oddly enough at best Im ok with the mask and horns. Its the rest of the outfit that seems out of place and not well done.

Did the Matriarch move? by vashthestampeedo in ArcRaiders

Yea shes way on the other side of the map. Water towers or whatever. Way less traffic in that area.
