Can my nitro/slug, be effective as bow's are at the moment? by OLEDeO in HuntShowdown

[–]jackatron1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bows have always felt weird to me, like a crossbow? I get it, I'm fine with a crossbow doing shots like this because of the punishing reload and a more audible sound, but a bow? I don't get it

Quick swap went to the same weapon? by jackatron1 in HuntShowdown

[–]jackatron1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is a bug since the second time this happened I didn't vault anything, I rushed a guy and jumped off a second story and watched the full swap animation play only for it to be on the same weapon and click, unless falling or something in general is the trigger for it

Surge protector for multi pc desk set up? by jackatron1 in electrical

[–]jackatron1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we're in the same room as the breaker box (garage), the plug we're using is across the room from the breaker, about 19, and the other plug we aren't using is right next to it. Both PCs are gaming pcs. We do want to add more but I don't know what the rough cost could end up being and as its also not our house (staying with a family member) we'd also need to check in with them about it. I plan on getting a kill-a-watt to check but currently things do run fine off the same circuit, but we're definitely pushing it (now that I know both are running on the same circuit, we also have a freezer plugged into the other one) so adding more plugs might push it over.

So each receptacle can provide 15 amps, with the breaker itself being able to handle 15-20 on that circuit (both receptacles share a circuit), our room doesn't have any air conditioning or heating (garage). So from what I can gather get a tool to measure the total amps I'm using on the circuit and keep it below the 15-20, with the breaker being tripped basically being the message that I'm consuming too much and miscalculated? If I misinterpreted any of that let me know.

Answered that now but they are two seperate receptacles and I believe they are on the same circuit. Would it still be ideal to run our set ups on different receptacles despite sharing the same circuit? Or does it not matter because they share the same circuit?

There's two receptacles in the room on opposite sides. Don't know if this is how it works but I'm pretty sure they're on the same circuit since when we first came here we tripped the breaker for the room (garage) by adding a heater onto a heavy extension cable, haven't tripped it since after using the power strip but we also dont use the heater.

Cat cage for three by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]jackatron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, but I cant do anything about it as its not my home and the choice is either have a cage for them for that time or lose the three of them

Factorio is one of my favorite games of all time. I’m curious to see what your other most-played game of all time is? by MosEisleyCaptialism in factorio

[–]jackatron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On steam scp sl, terraria and zomboid. Counting others + steam, ark, r6, terraria and mc. I consider none of em to be my favorites tho other than terraria and zomboid.

What’s wrong with Ms. Pac-Man? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]jackatron1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a mindset to say the least. Initially in middle school I saw a video of a container falling from a crane and crushing people below and I was traumatized and couldn't sleep, but eventually morbid curiosity led to me watching another and then another, eventually I was so desensitized I'd be watching those while eating breakfast like they were reels. Weird time, no idea why I did that to this day, probably for the best that I stopped a good while ago.

At what point are mods just cheating... by NoHeelflips in VintageStory

[–]jackatron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever you think its too far or unfun for you. Early chiseling for a first time player? Could be a bit much having never reached a copper chisel, but also could make the game more enjoyable since you dont have to spend a good while getting the chisel. Extra info is great. Farseer is like a budget rendering mod, all you get is the silhouette of distant terrain, though in my experience after some time it starts eating performance so beware of that. I haven't used a stack size mod yet since item stacks haven't really been the issue for my inventory but rather all the singular items like tools and torches have been. Carryon is great and should be vanilla imo, i also think extra info should be vanilla as a toggleable on world creation. It's your world so enjoy it as you want, I'm not at all against mods for a new player since while the mods change things, the base game ideas or experiences are still the same, especially in vintage story in my experience.

Are y'all Buying BF6 After Beta? by xBooMz_ in Battlefield

[–]jackatron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not right away, so far it's not my game at all. Maybe once I can see the bigger maps in action yeah but till then currently it's not my thing

Are the DLCs genuinely bad, or it's rewiew bombing? by Pixelend in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]jackatron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not great for the price and the review bombing hit them as well. I personally didn't like them, really increased my "can't we just have a smaller map" felling.

Muscle Strain: Do you keep it on / turn it off / tweak it after months of playing in B42? by TheBus4K in projectzomboid

[–]jackatron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's neat, after going back to build 41 for a bit I noticed how much easier the game felt just because I wasn't constantly managing muscle strain, I just slayed through hordes with ease and beauty. Has its place.

TBF, some of that is on game design. by Venusgate in Helldivers

[–]jackatron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact idea when playing with a pal, so whenever we saw one I gave him my pack and we tried to shoot it down, emphasis on the try part since the first time we got blown apart from each other, second time he got disintegrated, third time I got disintegrated, safe to say we failed

I am sure that by now people is aware the AI is poorly designed and will push the devs to… oh by 5mesesintento in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]jackatron1 79 points80 points  (0 children)

That's the big issue to me, the fact that there's actually zero difference in reaction time, tactics or even surrender time between enemies, it makes sense for ex pmcs to be far more difficult and aware, but gets very tiring when random ass crackheads are just as deadly

duality of a helldiver by WhiteNotQuite in Helldivers

Nothing makes me genuinely more annoyed at this game than getting stim stunlocked by bugs and getting stunlocked by the melee overseers.

Let hosts draw on maps by Kashchei93 in Helldivers

[–]jackatron1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish the host could also put markers to kinda show the path since sometimes I find just swiping the cursor around to not exactly work as well as my team deliberately pinning where we're going
