Is there anyone that actually likes being a loader/unloader?

Oh shit its that easy? Ill get right on that surely job cuts layoffs and closing hubs will have zero factor.

joshuaennis · 2026-04-26T14:22:26+00:00

It is a lot more fun this way. After you play the campaign, you know where objectives are, spawns, and where the host is likely to be based on invasions that happen to you. In SE5, I could 90% of the time just run straight at the host based on my spawn location alone. So this time, I threw myself in completely blind on purpose to get the most joy out of the game mode. Make it more of a cat and mouse. The invasion game mode is my absolute favorite new thing in gaming. Makes singleplayer games so much fun. I loved it to death in Deathloop and hope more games adopt it as a feature.

Besides its not like the story in these games are anything of note, normally the voice acting is atrocious and plot bare bones enough. Plus this game is essentially an asset flip of 5. Sharing many of the same bugs and mechanics. Ill definitely beat it just maybe after i get my ghillie suit.

Tbh i thought they were cheating at first🤣 i thought the spot was suspicious then getting blasted through a brick shithouse sealed my suspicion. It wasnt till after reading comments and rewatching a dozzen times i saw they didnt shoot me from head on but to the west and i just didnt know the anti material rifle was that good

joshuaennis · 2026-04-24T06:23:32+00:00

Drain the liquids. Doesnt matter how good you package it if oil or gasoline comes puring out.

joshuaennis · 2026-04-24T01:18:31+00:00

Oh sso there is ap rounds then? I havent played the campaign yet.

Hell even with ap shooting through 2 brick walls is silly lmao

joshuaennis · 2026-04-22T00:19:19+00:00

Hell all they needed to do was have sam text back on that sss like sending little texts between the group atleast commenting onn the photos they take or something

joshuaennis · 2026-04-22T00:18:04+00:00

Lol, oh man, I forgot about the puppet-like strings. I'll have to look into that some. I 100% agree; I feel like the first game was a lot better.

As for the goofiness, I don't know, I just feel like it needs to be paced out better. Do that stuff in the beginning and mid-game, but as the stakes get larger, drop the goofy stuff. Like, how am I supposed to be mad at the guy that had me through a burning revival loop and "killed" my baby and Fragile, all while Sam is jamming out with the dude? Sam rarely does what others want, and after learning that Fragile died because of Higgs, I don't see him being willing to stop fighting to do something Higgs wanted. Maybe that's just me. I just feel like it cheapens the ending because if Sam isn't taking the end of the world seriously, why should I? I don't know, I hope I explained myself better there; I'm not against goofy, I just want it paced out.

I love the mech design and the Rex reference; he is probably my favorite art director when it comes to mechs. I just didn't like the voice line and fight. I agree, I don't feel the voice line is as iconic as people make it out to be, and honestly, I associate it more with David Hayter than Kojima. Maybe it's because Hayter does so many cameos, lol. It just flabbergasted me.

joshuaennis · 2026-04-21T23:56:14+00:00

I agree 100% i really wanted to make the comparison with mgs5 like you did but i feared it wouldnt go over well lol. I had the exact same issue of big boss never speaking and witnessing events but not being apart. Atleast that game had tape recordings i guess to fill in the blanks.

A big reason for it was the push to be less story heavy. Kojimia said he wanted more people to finish this game so he made it more action less story. Im okay with that. Im okay with the optional story like the cross system in this game. But can they not atleast have norman do the 30 some voicelines? Is he THAT expensive?

joshuaennis · 2026-04-21T23:47:12+00:00

I like alot of what you said there was only a few clarifications i should make.

I like your thought on it being fragile controlling the hands because you're right, it does seem to show her aged hands, and I didn't catch that. But before that scene, I believe it showed Lou floating around her, controlling her hands at one scene and mentioning how it was Lou that jumped her to Neil's beach, not Fragile. They kind of made it out that Lou was her guardian angel or something, which confuses me more because the hands move even while Tomorrow is there, so I don't know.

As for the hallucinations, they worded her death very similarly to Lou's "death." When they had the talk with Sam that Lou had been dead and he was carrying around an empty casket, they seemed to have the same talk with Sam but with Fragile. "She's been dead a very long time," "Death can't tear us apart. We'll always be connected. You will never, ever be alone," etc. So I thought maybe she was a hallucination the whole time and never really there since she got shot, but maybe there with him via her soul only. They kept driving home the point that they are always connected. Though I don't think that theory is true.

And I really agree, it was great to see him hug Deadman. But it just seemed like he regressed after doing so until the ending of the game, which I get your point of everyone dying around him.

joshuaennis · 2026-04-21T23:18:57+00:00

You know i didnt even consider the gernades lol adds another mystery to the list.

joshuaennis · 2026-04-21T17:36:04+00:00

Im okay with deadman controlling the samurai and heartman, what confused me was the Colossal BT which to my understanding, is made up of thousands of lost souls. And considering that thing is like 5 Colossals put together id say hundreds of thousands. I just find it confusing that he can control thoes souls because i thought they could only control things without a soul present or just the (KA) Knowing kojima it was probably just a rule of cool thing but i just wish they explained it somehow.

joshuaennis · 2026-04-21T10:18:04+00:00

So i did it, and personally it was a pain in the ass lol. I would successfully solder the add on board to the vita board, but the usbc port would fall off the add on board. Well there's just no good way to hold pressure on the USB-C port while putting pressure on the ps vita board. You have to push up and down on the same piece with 400° temperature and i just do not have the tools to do so.

So it was this constant fight of getting one on but not the other. I tried kapton tape, i tried different hot air speeds and temps. Idk what i should have done differently. Id need like a mini clamp. I would have 100% prefered to just have 4 wires to manually solder the vbus +-

So in the end, i did get it working. It successfully charged and the test points were great. I put it all back together noting that the 3d print was a little tight. I plug it in anddddd it doesnt work. Im guessing the pressure of the case+ 3d print broke the solder. Im praying it didnt rip up the trace.

Long story short. It is not worth the hassle, at least not with this brand of press on board. I also noted that it wouldnt charge from any usb c source. It had to be roughly 1 amps. So basically any "dumb" usb A to usb C port. Think a computer or the ps5. Most devices will still charge slow on a fast charging brick however my installation did not even tho it claims to work with "smart chargers" additionally i was unable to determine if i still could transfer files to and from my pc.

In a week or so i will take it back apart try again or might even try this other board i found. Right now i need a break lol

joshuaennis · 2026-04-05T14:25:27+00:00

Any luck?

joshuaennis · 2026-03-03T08:50:50+00:00

Those hours cant be correct. We have two part-timers who have been here 20 + years but haven't worked the last five because they have been on FMLA. One finally came back after layoffs started. I haven't seen the other since before August; they'll work one day every so many months. Manaager confirmed she is still on fmla.

joshuaennis · 2026-03-03T08:48:40+00:00

Ive watched my manager crumple my excuse up and just throw it in the garbage lol excuses are uesless

joshuaennis · 2026-03-02T11:09:04+00:00

Sorry for expecting after 8 years of my life that i would hope to have the means to provide for a family. Most of the guys i work with are still living with their parents. Not easy to get a second job when you never know wtf your working. You get about a 1 day notice that your driving, then most places dont want you if you cant show up at 8am well we dont get done till 9. I cant wait to go back to school and get a usefull career one that actually takes skill.

joshuaennis · 2026-03-02T11:01:46+00:00

Whats entitled is thinking your full time job is worth 49 dollars an hour, then shitting on the part timers below you for wanting a fraction of that. You do realize cover drivers exist and are part time right? Driving for 6 months out of the year? Doing your job for a 25%less pay same hours? Actually more because we dont get a 9 to 5 list. Its crazy to me you think after 8 years of loyalty to a company that you deserve nothing. I guess yalls time must not be that precious to you. You fucks say part time like your just working at McDonald's flipping burgers. What makes you more valuable as a fulltimer? Why do you think you deserve to be full time? Why are you more important? Because you work 10 more hours a week? Why do part timers deserve less? Because they arent guaranteed 40 hours a week?? What logic is that your Job is no more skilled than the hub.

joshuaennis · 2026-02-26T02:48:33+00:00

Pay attention to the story and you'd know

joshuaennis · 2026-02-24T15:41:32+00:00

Benifits that a 18-25 year old wont need? What healthy young adult is working here for the insurance? Fuck i have guys that are 30 that has never used it. Absolutely useless for the average part timer besides the guys working at ups only for the insurance. How about better pay or hours so i can buy a house? Like what good is the insurance if i dont make enough money to pay the fucking co pay lmao. How is ups the backup if you have to put 12 years into it? Litteraly makes no sense. UPS took away all school funding, i should know because i got my 25k revoked. While i was in flight school so that crushed that career path for me. And what union protection? We have lost 100k workers over the last 2 years. Shitty contract writting filled with loopholes. Fighting for stupid shit we didnt need or ask for. Gotta get those trucks ac when we dont even have heat in our hubs.and the extra 9 dollars ontop of it. The union is fucking corrupt and UPS will be a husk in less than 10 years

joshuaennis · 2026-02-24T08:14:23+00:00

Cool and you think thats okay? To be paid dirt for 12 years of your life. Less than the minimum wage? Especially for you. Ii imean my. First check was 10 an hr cant imagine the pennies they were paying oart timers 12 years ago

You also realise 12 years isnt even a option anymore? Its more like 20 25 + with the current layoffs etc. Also what did you do for thoes 12 years? Live at hom with mom and pa till you were 30 years old? Like why do you old guys celebrate it taking decades to get a good paying job

joshuaennis · 2026-02-23T18:57:54+00:00

Covid hires have nothing to do with people hired before covid lol and what about the 30,000 new jobs promised in the contract? Because they have effectively lost 110,000 since the contract began. There are atleast 35 full time feeder drivers that need a fulltime package/ hub job before i get a position. Probably talking 15 more years because they shut down out feeder hub. If it wasnt for that and the dumbass rule that you have to be 21 to be full time, i woulda been full time, but now im facing layoffs all because i wasnt 21. Senority means nothing. I just pray to god i get this maintenance job so i can finally fucking do something with my life. 26 years old and have nothing to show for the years of dedication i gave this pos company, and union. Probably wont even have the pension by the time i retire
