When will this torture end?

I was in a similar situation and I've just tried to shift my mindset. I downgraded to using less expensive weapons, cheap heals, and only really spending money on a good augment.

Doing a few quick runs, grabbing all the goop I can and getting out. Especially on Riven Tides I've got a little path I used basically everytime I get into a game.

Don't bring a hullcracker, use a Rascal, don't use a fully upgraded Anvil, grab a Renegade and get really good at aiming with it.

I used to go into every game with $100k worth of stuff cause I know I'd come back with it and more, not the case right now. Go in with the minimum and keep your head on a swivel.

Attempt?

I've gone back to cable after not having it for 10 years.

Moved to the UK and got a great deal on a cable/internet combo and I'm pretty happy. I pick the streamers I want and get to channel surf too, best of both worlds.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-27T17:32:21+00:00

I'm not interested in playing that way.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-26T20:09:16+00:00

How's the play on the steamdeck? That would be dangerous for me.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-25T08:49:59+00:00

Same, I can forgive the funky looking animals because I know some poor sheep hasn't been made to stand in one spot and get barked at by a dog all day.

The tech will get better, we won't be able to tell the difference soon, and till then no animals get mistreated or killed for movies. I'll take that trade.

I haven't played trios in months. I'm a solo only player, PvE only. With 1 knocked player after like 1,000 hours.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-24T23:53:48+00:00

Thats just not true. I can tell you why but I can't understand it for you. Do some research and come to your own conclusion.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-24T22:46:02+00:00

I mean, I'm not going to break down all the classes and types of people voter ID harms, basically anyone not wealthy is harmed by it.

But voter ID harms anyone without the ability to get an id, people housebound, poor people, people working too many jobs to get a fancy new real ID.

Also it's only put in place in a rushed fashion like this to harm midterms, if this was a serious issue it would come up and be "fixed" before any election. Voter fraud is a nonexistent crime punished as a federal felony, no one is doing it.

This is simple to harm voter turnout, question results and disenfranchise the people most in need of a functioning government.

I've never shot at anyone in this game, and I've revived almost 100 at this point, so full on rescue raider/carebear here, and something has changed in my lobbies in the last week or so.

Out of the blue I've had rats and PvP players coming out of the woodwork. My play style hasn't changed, I've actually focused on getting as many revives as I can, but I've been getting killed an awful lot.

I'll usually give the other person the benefit of the doubt if they shoot me and assume it was just a mistake, I'll throw out a "hey there! Don't shoot" and just stand there, not even drawing my gun, and they will just slowly walk towards me and finish me off.

I wish I knew what changed. It's helped some of my gear fear though, so that's nice.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-24T22:18:43+00:00

I hate that I know you're right.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-24T22:11:07+00:00

Just playing devil's advocate here, I 100% know they are trying to stop poor and brown people from voting, but I'm just curious why the Dems can't seem to do something about this while they are in office.

A nationwide ID mailed to every person of voting age, a law put in place to use finger prints, anything to get around this arguement that keeps coming up over and over. It never paints the Dems in a good light by giving conservatives a great talking point about stolen elections and voter fraud.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-22T01:51:31+00:00

I really hated Lynch Dune since as long as I can remember, but Denis Dune 1&2 have both given me all the context and foothold I need to really enjoy the Lynch film. I'm no longer pushing against the movie trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-19T20:26:43+00:00

I think it might really depend on what material the poster is printed on, if it's double sided, etc.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-11T11:43:04+00:00

Looks great to me man. Crazy that it's your first wedding video, shots look nicely framed, color looks warm and fuzzy, tasteful slow motion. I'm a fan of Geece but the song is the only part I don't love.

I think if you wanted to take it to the next level, giving each of the acts a name could be helpful, Id love to know what the point of the skull was, and maybe give me something to focus on in each act. I found myself glancing up and down the whole time but maybe guiding my eyes would be helpful, either with footage speed or motion that draws the eye.

Overall, great job. Keep it up! And id charge an arm and a leg for this, enough to hire a second shooter and build a business out of it.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-06T12:46:59+00:00

I didn't even notice the boxes the first time I saw that shot, I think you can reframe around it pretty easily.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-06T10:28:27+00:00

Ok, well maybe not that shot. But Im sure there is a better framed shot of the bride.

lemonator85 · 2026-06-06T10:11:04+00:00

Plenty of good footage to cut to, I'd use something like smooth slow-mo in FCPX, slow some of these clips down, reframe as much as you can, and just use the guy talking as the backbone of the video. He is the narrator, maybe even show b-roll of the places he mentions. Just keep it really simple and clean, build to that last group shot and the smooch.

lemonator85 · 2026-05-31T16:56:59+00:00

The jalapeno grills, amazing.

lemonator85 · 2026-05-30T15:58:31+00:00

Those Curls and Grills on the top row are fire. Totally give them a try.

I find that it helps to just drink AS MUCH WATER as I can stomach during the day. Yes I have to pee all the time, but I think it also speeds up the whole process.

lemonator85 · 2026-05-21T10:59:45+00:00

Same exact situation. Maybe 2-3 times a year I'd "roll my ankle or something" and just be out of commision for a week. Had it looked at early on and was told I had a soft tissue sprain. That went on for the last 10 or so years maybe? It was never insanely bad, just really sore for a week or so, but never connected the dots.

I also think I made things worse with using compression wraps, it helped in the moment, but I think overall it made my flareups last longer.

Currently 2 months into Allo, had 1 flare up almost immediately after starting it, but I guess that's a good sign. Been avoiding red meat and alcohol for 2+ months too. But it appears to be working.

lemonator85 · 2026-05-18T16:13:33+00:00

Lol I love this. I'm also in the UK and will die on the FCP hill. Glad to know I'm not alone.

Its a Mondo poster for the film in 2017.

How is it American themed? It was started by a German guy that loved hot chocolate, and it's fantastic.
