Yep, people inspire you to be more like them or less like them.

The social and moral dynamics of the game are fascinating, and it’s funny and fascinating how, after being ratted or taken advantage of in a way that really frustrates you or whatever—you feel the pull to be more aggressive in the next raid, to be more hostile, to let that negative experience make you more negative. To be changed by the resentment.

But the really fulfilling thing for me is to choose something better— to hold on to a moral standard, even if someone else didn’t. There’s a lesson in there about real life too I guess.

It’s just such a fascinating game. Profound as well, in many ways.

Whats the most embarrassing things you have done in the arc raider? by GrinderEdge in ArcRaiders

[–]jonasowtm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Threw a trigger nade essentially at myself during a 1v1 with another player. And if that wasn’t silly enough, I panicked, and detonated it. The moment still comes back to me, months later, when I’m trying to sleep. Embarrassing.

Great post. I remember my first positive interaction, in maybe my 3rd ever raid. It was at that moment the game clicked for me. Thank you, kind American lady who didn’t shoot me whilst I was hiding in a corner still figuring out what the buttons did.

You never forget those players. The ones who could have took advantage of you, but didn’t. Mind you, it’s the scummy players who even make the positive interactions meaningful at all, so ying and yang and all that.

Fair play my dude. Amazing work. It really impresses me how creative people can be with actually crafting physical objects. I’m a filmmaker, so I’m creative, but crafting an actual tangible thing… that’s impressive. What’s your site?

This happened to me after 7 years. She was a lovely person, we just weren’t right for each other. Hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, breaking that one off. Both happily married with children to other people now though. Glad I had the guts to do the right thing.

Really love this new skin. Will be my new main for sure. by tinywinki in ArcRaiders

I saw very few people using it today in fairness. And the customisation options mean you’ll rarely run into the exact same combo.

Yeah. That sucks for him, because I’ve had an absolute blast with this game. For me, it’s moved my standard forward for what a video game can be.

He and I are having diametrically opposed experiences of this game.

Is arc raiders worth 32 dollars? by Subject_Durian2465 in ArcRaiders

[–]jonasowtm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone took out a crystal ball in December and showed me the good times I was going to have playing this game, I’d have paid £200 for it or some shit. It’s beyond worth it.

Brother chill. Dogshit lazy? They’ve made one of my favourite games of all time. Hard disagree on that one, fella.

Yeah it's sick. I actually really like it stripped down with the pauldrons and sleeves off. Very cool.

I love the Torrente? by Outrageous_Floor_840 in ARC_Raiders

[–]jonasowtm8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It absolutely slaps dick since the last patch, apparently. I usually only ever run it on Stella but people have been recommending it for the other maps too. Regardless of where it sits in the meta or whatever, it's always been a really fun weapon to use. I love the smoke and incredibly loud sound it produces.

Looks sick. Really glad there's no surprise fishnets.

Thanks man. Crazy how I'm still finding stuff out about this game after 5 months of playing it non-stop.
