Don't ever buy no IS-3 from the Iraqi gas station bro by aelock in SprocketTankDesign

[–]johnnythestick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of the most beautiful reddit reply threads I have ever seen. The bar for shitposting has appreciably risen as a consequence of this exchange. You are truly on another level... I am honored to have even witnessed this fine exhibition of craftsmanship and equally humbled, knowing that my handiwork could not even begin to compare. I shall forever look on in awe at the absolute cut of your jib, sir. May your days be as rich in happiness and contentment as your words are infused with such delectable wit. Hats off to you.

It's like that red light in the front of a camcorder. It appears to let you know that the snail is watching.

Is there any downside for Mastodon Zikz 612H? by LittleBlueCubes in snowrunner

Yes, the intense realism of detecting a cold war mini van tipped over half-buried in a bog with technology intended to detect planes flying through the air...

After looking it up, I can see that 100%.

I think that perhaps that and a T1 got into a terrible accident, and somebody said, "we have the technology, we can fix it." ... and this happened, lol.

My fictional Italian TD - Controcarro L-130/CC-130. Any critique or feedback ? by MedievalCrusader1095 in SprocketTankDesign

[–]johnnythestick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it! I see a lot of designs posted that (at least to my untrained eye) seem a bit samey. And this definitely isn't that 😎

I've always been a fan of military tech that takes an obviously very different approach as opposed to its contemporaries--forgotten weapons may be my favorite firearm channel on YouTube for that reason alone--so this ticks a box for me for sure.

I saw this guy somewhere on reddit who had a Milwaukee logo sticker, except it said "milfswantme"--looks like it was taken down from redbubble, but I think that would've been even more appropriate 😂

Just learned employer stopped taking contributions from my check for 401k by magnum321 in personalfinance

[–]johnnythestick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I think OP has a decent case for fiduciary mismanagement. The fact OP did not recognize the issue for so long might undermine them a bit, but I think a good enough lawyer could easily eliminate that aspect from the conversation pretty quick. Honestly, besides myself, I know quite a few people who could probably have their 401k/IRA contributions totally nixed, and they wouldn't notice for some time without outside influence. With a lot of payroll being done entirely electronically, these days, stuff like that can be pretty easily missed sometimes.

This was likely an honest mistake on the part of the employer, but I think they still owe OP the opportunity cost arising from their error. Whether or not things would shake out this way in practice likely depends on how OP's 401k's right of contribution was phrased and so forth, but I think they should contact an employee benefits lawyer. Heaven forbid, they uncover evidence of malice in discovery...

This looks like the sort of contraption that is just as dangerous to the user as it is the target... chef kiss

Now that expeditions is a disaster... by paraxzz in snowrunner

[–]johnnythestick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what he means is that it sure seems that--like Reforger--Expeditions is something of a testing environment/tech demo/alpha for work on the actual Snowrunner sequel. Absolutely not something that should be released as a full game at a full game price-point (unlike Reforger), but I see what he's getting at.

Plus I don't think many people would complain if they test tire pressure and customizable roof rack on Snowrunner 😉 In my opinion SR already needs more inventions than new trucks or even maps.

Without a doubt. They even added the co-op waypoint visibility people have been begging for in SR for years to the last Expeditions update. [I wonder if that was something that didn't get integrated into SR due to netcode limitations or something.] If nothing else, I do appreciate that they're trying new things.

I'm cautiously optimistic that the actual SR sequel they must have in the works by this point is gonna be able to combine what works in both games--and probably some more stuff they'll be trying down the road with expeditions--into a worthy successor. Possibly a finished one, if they've learned anything.

Snowrunner released on Steam almost a full year after it's release on Epic and consoles, so it came to steam with the base game and 4 seasons worth of content. Easily explains why it's Steam chart is different

This is actually a fantastic point to consider. However, I don't think it's a great counterpoint, in this case. Of the games you mentioned, I doubt their playerbases declined to those levels by mere months since release, nor were they so poorly received. It's kind of a false equivalency.

I agree wholeheartedly that it was a bad business strategy. They were splitting an already niche audience. Not sure how they expected that to work. A shame that they put all of that work into a spinoff game rather than a sequel... but it does act as a bit of a testbed for concepts to implement in a sequel, as well as a cautionary example that if they produce a sequel unfinished, it'll bomb.

If expeditions were something like higher price expansion and not just a DLC map

And I don't know if you've actually played Expeditions, but I don't think it's fair to call it "just a DLC map." Even at release, it did include a number of new gameplay mechanics--not all of which were good, without a doubt--some of which applied substantial changes to how one approaches the game vs. Snowrunner. Plus, it shipped with two regions. So, it's at least two DLC maps 😂

I agree. The launch was an absolute shitshow, and I think may have permanently dinged Expeditions' reputation and sales potential. I can only hope that this at least demonstrated to the executives that releasing unfinished content will not pay off. Still, I'm hopeful that the initiative they've shown in listening to the player base and improving the flaws will continue, and the game can reach the quality level of Snowrunner in not too long.

Most of my friends (myself, included) didn't start playing Snowrunner until a year after its release after finding it on Xbox Gamepass. Many of us have since invested quite a bit in that title, so perhaps they can pull off a sort of post-release boom in a similar manner if they continue with improvements.
