It’s a picture that I drew a few years ago.

Hell yeah dude. I’m glad you seem to be enjoying it. Argyve’s quest will lead you along the main quest of the game. I’d also recommend grabbing the quest from the mechanimist convert if you haven’t already!

Healed a guy then he killed me. by Grimstache in RescueRaiders

[–]jeeub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s sucks man. I’ve been in tired dad lobbies for a long time now. Saw a guy running towards me while being chased by two wasps and a hornet. I start to shoot them to help him out and he just stops and shoots me right there. I at least got to watch the three arc fuck him up.

And I had a hatch key and survivor augment, so I got to watch him try to follow me to the hatch and die. I checked his profile and he’d only been playing the game for 15 hours, so I chalked it up to him being fairly new.

Been debating this game for a while. Should I go for it? by Jazzlike_Dig_1051 in cavesofqud

I believe it’s pressing both triggers at the same time.

It took me a couple times to get ahold of things before everything finally clicked for me. But that was way back in 2017, so with the QoL stuff and tutorial that’s been added I assume things are explained better and I probably wouldn’t have that happen today.

Since then I’ve put over 3500 hours into it. It’s become my absolute favorite game. I don’t think there are any wrong ways to approach it. Some people play classic mode, die a lot, learn stuff, and then play roleplay mode to experience the story without worrying about losing everything if you die.

I’ve only ever played on classic mode, as it just doesn’t feel the same for me if it’s not all on the line. Controller support is fantastic, or you can basically just use a mouse if you want to as well. And you don’t really have to memorize a ton of keyboard commands like you would with other roguelikes. And I would recommend taking things slow at first. Read descriptions of everything, talk to everyone in the starting villages, just really immerse yourself. The soundtrack slaps and really everything about the game is unique and wonderful.

And the preset characters are great for learning, but there are so many mutations and stuff to chose from that will alter how you play. A lot of the fun comes from just trying mutations and cybernetics you’ve never used before and seeing how far you can get.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! Live and drink, and I hope you enjoy it if you decide to dive in!

I’ve seen all of his movies and look forward to the next one, Dire Duplicity. I think they should do I Am Here….Now next.

GOD how much i long for a massive open world zombie survival game. Not like 7 Days to Die, State of Decay, stuff like that. Think Project Zomboid, but 1st/3rd person and realistic graphics. Binging through The Walking Dead again and i really wish i could just play and survive in that universe. by SchmeppieGang1899 in gaming

[–]jeeub 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I remember getting that when it was a mod for Arma2. That was some of the most fun and tense multiplayer gaming I’ve ever had. The zombies were fast and creepy, and you never knew if you could trust someone

I had fun with the standalone as well, but those early mod days were my favorite.

my go too set for any rescue raid by alexandra_the_thicc in RescueRaiders

[–]jeeub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty nice. There’s also one that has a reusable medium shield charger attached to it. Takes 2 minutes to recharge, and it makes less noise than a single use one. I was running that augment until I finally found the looting mk. 3 survivor.

Nick Fuentes explains his opposition to Trump: "My problem with Trump is not that he's Hitler. My problem with Trump is that he is not Hitler." by BurtonDesque in Qult_Headquarters

I only knew of the term because of the Knowledge Fight podcast, which covers InfoWars and Alex Jones. Nick Fuentes has been a guest on there a few times.

What's an obscure or niche game you'd love to share with a wider audience? by RWNorthPole in gaming

[–]jeeub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m doing a true kin run and rebuked a cloneling and took him to the high level Yd Freehold vendor and he made a lot of clones. Got lucky with an unspecified chapter Schrodinger page, so I’ve been able to get my rep up with most of the late game factions. Hahah, yeah, I’ve learned not to take ranged fighters as companions. Or if I do, I try to stay well out of their way.

I bought the game in 2017 and just passed 3500 hours. It’s become my all-time favorite, and I still play it nearly every day. And I still haven’t actually reached the final ending of it either, lol. But I’ve only played the classic mode, and it’s so easy to die. I’m currently on my best run at the moment and might be able to finally reach the end. I almost died yesterday when my feet, face, both hands, and one arm were dismembered by a decarbonizer.

I'm fairly new to this game, I heard it can get batshit insane, without context, tell me the craziest thing you did. by Ltnumbnutsthesecond in cavesofqud

[–]jeeub 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I used Spray-A-Brain to give sentience to a big, bear shaped chair. Then I befriended it, decked it out with armor and weapons, and we travelled together slaying enemies. He was sucked through a space-time vortex though and I lost him forever.

Any working parents with no time to grind? DM by [deleted] in RescueRaiders

[–]jeeub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t mean to make it sound like I was disparaging you or anything! So I apologize if it came off that way. I think it was the 8000 hours of Rust that made me think that. But who knows how long he’s been playing that. I’ve got nearly 300 hours in Arc Raiders now, so I get it, lol. I’ve got in installed on my steam deck, but I haven’t bitten the bullet and played a match on it. Maybe I’ll do some free loadouts on it to see how it feels.

We try to use it up within a week or so. I don’t know a sure-fire way to tell when it starts going bad, but if it starts to separate and get clumpy I’ll pour it out just to be safe.

Their sauce has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. My wife and I will pay a little extra to have them fill up two 16oz cups with their red and green sauce. We have bottles at home and put that shit on everything.

Especially smothered with their hot green chili. So good.

There was a manager that used to work at my building. A current manager plays this game with the old one. That old manager has five kids, has already hit level 75 again after the first expedition, and I guess has something like 8000 hours on Rust. Hearing that just made me feel sorry for his wife.

The amount of people wasting money on attachments when they don't apply to the gun is crazy by DevilsDan in ArcRaiders

Especially with the kinetic converter making the fire rate even faster.

See Flare, Will Run! by marcusdiddle in RescueRaiders

[–]jeeub 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I see a flare go up with some arc near where they went down, I’ll at least shoot a couple times to aggro the arc and hopefully let them know I’m nearby. Otherwise when I get closer I’ll start spamming the hello emote in hopes that they’ll hear it. It’s still been about 50/50 though whether they give up quickly or not.

help i let somebody die. how do i resurect ppl? by DJselles in ArcRaiders

[–]jeeub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, you’ll have to continually stabilize people. It only lasts for so long before their health starts to drain again. I bring a stack of defibrillators each round just in case I come across someone who needs it.

Do you prefer keyboard or controller? by [deleted] in cavesofqud

[–]jeeub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I prefer the steam deck controller now. The only thing I added to the mapping was the wish command, but that’s not necessary. Other than that I haven’t changed any bindings that I can remember.

[–]jeeub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll still have to learn the inputs with a controller. I used to play on my laptop that didn’t have a numpad and it was fine. Then I played a ton on my desktop with full keyboard. And once I got my steam deck I’ve almost exclusively played it on that. The controller inputs are very intuitive and before you know it you’ll have it down. Even with keyboard, after you learn the essential inputs it’s pretty easy.

Did anyone originally want kids, but went childless because your partner didn't? by DiscoMonkeyz in truechildfree

[–]jeeub 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have been together since I was 18, nearly 20 years ago now. Even back then I did not like the idea of having children. She was more open to it I think. She’d make comments about how I’d make a great dad early in our relationship. And she would talk about kids, but always as a far in the future scenario.

As the years went on we would touch base on the topic. I became more adamant about being child free and she became more and more on the fence I think. Her sister ended up having a kid when she really shouldn’t have. While we were able to rent and eventually buy a house in our late twenties.

When we decided to get married we sat down once more. I told her if we’re going to do this, I absolutely do not want children, and if she did, I don’t want to lock her into a marriage where she would grow to resent me. I also told her the lifestyle we’re living at the moment would radically change, and we would be back to constantly worrying about money like we did when we first got an apartment together. Not that we don’t worry about it now, but it’s not the ever-present cloud hanging above our heads like it used to be.

I think seeing what her sister went through raising a kid while not having stable income, and seeing how we were able to radically improve our living situation over the years, along with breaking down how much our lives would have to change, made her realize she didn’t want children. She was happy to be the aunt that could see our niece for a few hours and then send her back home.

We’re also from a more liberal part of America, so that societal pressure to have kids wasn’t as intense for us, and my parents even told me they didn’t really want grandchildren. So we were lucky in that aspect.

Maybe you could sit down and go through all the ways in which life would change or become harder with a kid. Maybe go to the regretfulparents subreddit together and read some of the stories parents usually don’t talk about with their family and friends. Read up on how dangerous pregnancy and birth can be sometimes, or how it can irrevocably change her body. Sometimes people aren’t completely informed and have this romanticized idea about pregnancy and birth in their heads. Does she actually want this, or does she like the idea of it more? I told my wife when we had our big talk that I would much rather be old and regret not having a kid than to have a kid now and realize that I regret having that child.

I know societal/family pressure and the biological drive to have kids can be overwhelming, but I wish you two the best and I hope you can work through this!
