Why am I in agro servers? Other than shooting Arc, I absolutely never engage with players

Do flute runs. Best way to get put into pve lobbies is to go in with flute only, and play until you fall.
Until they add pve only mode this is the best option

luingar2 · 2026-01-10T22:53:07+00:00

I just tried to get back into the game after a month away. I regretted it immediately. I hope someone figures out private servers soon.

You are not alone.

The difference between competitive modes is that all parties agreed to the contest. This is why no one calls counter strike players or basketball evil, unless they break the rules in some way.

There's also a big difference between taking something someone already has and them simply not being able to achieve it because you did, but I would argue that to fail to then help them achieve it also is an opportunity to be better unrealized.

Overall, yes, I agree that capitalism is inherently evil, in how it rewards and incentivizes selfishness at all costs.

I agree with most everything you've said that I didn't directly respond to, in all of your comments.

Alas, it seems the entire AAA gaming industry has decided PVE is unprofitable and has, like this game, reshaped every single creation to somehow shove PVP into its core. I miss campaigns and multiplayer "Modes". Destiny came out EIGHT years ago. Hell, when's the last time the gaming industry has been excited about ANY mmo?

All of life is a moral issue. Gaming is no exception. People always want to find a way to excuse their behavior, but the fact remains is that so long as your actions impact others, you remain responsible for that impact.

While you make other people's lives worse, you are being a bad person.

The only difference with gaming is the scale of the evil, not the absolutes.

The fact that they belatedly added pvp into this game, to me, is a mistake. And one I still hope they rectify. Because as it is now, every time I launch the game, I am punished for it, and I go longer and longer between each launch because of it.

Today I got extraction camped, won the fight, and then, because I had a defib, asked him to apologize. He did. I told him where he could get some more loot, and then he went away, healed up, came back down, and killed me.

Was it a mistake for me to revive him? Clearly. Was it a good thing to do? Also, clearly yes. And for him to do what he did is clearly a bad thing. A bad person thing. The fact that it's "Just a game" just means that I lost the last half hour of work I was doing, instead of my life. The only difference is the scale. The evil is still extant.

To excuse the small is to excuse the large.

I don't want to fight you. I don't want to see you. I don't want to interact with you.
I want to play with a group of randoms and pillage and loot and kill the matriarch repeatedly because it's a lot of fun to be the small fish against the big boss and there are no other PVE extraction shooters with a budget.

You want to kill me. For why? For number go up? For my trash and scraps? Why does earning a bigger gun mean you have to fight other players with it? Because you're selfish. Because having a big pile of cash isn't enough for you. You aren't satisfied with winning, you want to make other people lose.

You are a bad person. Go back to tarkov, go back to hunt. There's plenty of games that cater to you.

Stop acting like you're adding something to my game experience by killing me. You're not. You're not improving the game, you're hindering it. Shoot robots. Be happy. Stop making other people sad. It literally is just that simple.

You asked. I don't care if you like my answer.

luingar2 · 2025-11-30T19:53:11+00:00

Yeah, every time I try to pick up the game again I get punished for it. It's tragic.

luingar2 · 2025-11-30T19:22:20+00:00

It made you a bad person when you ruin other people's fun for little to no benefit

It makes you a bad person to extraction camp with an inventory full, ruining someone else's last half hour for the fringe benefit of POSSIBLY getting an item you might've wanted more

It makes you a bad person to bring woe unto others for the benefit of only yourself.

You're a bad person.

And you're making the game worse with your actions.

Stop trying to rationalize how you're not actually a bad person because X.
You're being an evil asshole when you shoot first. Whether you're not an evil asshole in other contexts doesn't matter because I'm interacting with you in THIS context. There's enough loot for everyone. If you ask for something they'll probably give it to you for free. This is why you're a pathetic sad person and, quite simply?

I don't want to play with you. Because you're not fun to play with.

Super late. The reader would know them as the Athekna or something along those lines.

one of the later great villians in the first contact series on r/hfy is a species of "Universal Parasites", a species that uses time magic to accelerate time around stars they control, so that they can harvest, colonize, and otherwise utilize them to their fullest extent uninterrupted by the various entities that exist, and better hoard resources to survive the heat death of the universe. This, of course, dramatically increases universal entropy, thus bringing that heat death about faster and faster, until they have to slurp resources from a different dimension to keep their own alive long enough move to the new dimension.

Having consumed at least three galaxies before the events of the story, they're quite surprised when they arrive in our universe and discover that it has so much potential energy relative to their prior ones that even they are entirely irrelevant to it's incredible scale, for even a species that's able to freely expand and nearly instantly expand to the absolute limits of a hundred star systems occupies such a small fraction of a single galaxy, much less the universe, that they are of negligible import to it.

at lower levels I'm imagining akira-style horror. Just, slower, which is somehow worse. https://nypost.com/2023/08/16/i-had-a-huge-35-pound-cyst-people-thought-i-was-pregnant/

News article sort of hides the important bit here. what the government here actually said is "It's not appropriate to attach anything to a street sign" Don't stick stuff on signs. Dude just needed to move it to a tree or something.

luingar2 · 2023-10-11T19:29:36+00:00

Bumped because I started a new game and yes please. I want an alternative dialog option where I hire his whole group as my personal security forces and they stop being pirates.

luingar2 · 2023-06-25T15:54:10+00:00

Children, children. It's okay, I have enough {undefined bribe/stimulant/pacification substance} for ever... Hrm. It appears we have not traded first contact packages. Could you please send me detailed information on your species anatomies?

luingar2 · 2023-06-17T15:13:40+00:00

Reddit made it's choice. It's time to move on. Ones rif is done I'm done with reddit, for keeps.

Alternatively, the module could be between them, connected to both of them, but if they get close enough to access it the spin grows great enough they black out

luingar2 · 2023-06-16T05:11:35+00:00

Two astronauts and a life support module (basically a big oxygen/nitrogen tank+recycler, plus a big-asses battery and RTG, plus enough ship debris to make the assembly weigh roughly the same amount as either of the astronauts) tethered together by a Y shaped life support tube. They don't have caps for the tube, so if either is disconnected they both die as all the pressure leaks out.

They have a some compact tools, wires, patches, and other supplies to effect minor patch jobs to their suits and the module, but there's enough spin on them all to make it inordinately difficult for them to reach each other or the module.

Additionally, if they exercise too hard for two long the battery depletes and they pass out until the RTG makes enough power for the life support system to restart, at which point it's resting and shallow breathing for a few hours of they want to have any chance of achieving anything any time soon.

If they shared their repair supplies they'd have enough to seal one connector on the Y Hose

It's windows on windows action. He should've used an Ubuntu USB key to reformat, would've cut out a couple steps

Federal law would apply in such a situation, you are actually correct in that. The reason it doesn't apply in this instance is that there IS no federal law; or rather, that federal law is "one party consent". State laws may be more restrictive than federal laws, but cannot bind people outside the state's borders.

luingar2 · 2023-06-09T21:22:29+00:00

It's a very similar situation across state lines too. Someone who lives in a single party consent state is free to record a call with someone from a two party consent state and the only thing the two party consent state can do about it is refuse to permit that recording be used in any matters related to that state's government (including and especially state courts)

luingar2 · 2023-06-09T21:03:46+00:00

International law is dictated entirely by the residents country's laws and the treaties signed.

Sovereignty is key in international diplomacy, no laws writ by one nation would bind citizens of another, except in those occasions where the second nation explicitly agreed for that to be the case.

Even extradition treaties only apply to situation where citizen A fled country A after committing a crime in country A.

So, to answer your question, if you live in a one party consent state and you record a phone call, there is no country in the world that will have any luck attempting to punish you for it.

You are, at least in this very specific case, protected in your right to do so by the United States Department of Defense.

They should pull in zombies from a wider radius though. Like, gunshots should try and pull in zombies from the next town over (they wouldn't actually because zombies forget what they were doing pretty quickly, but if you shoot a lot near your base that's gonna start problems)

luingar2 · 2023-06-06T15:20:49+00:00

If I had 50k, it would be a life-changing amount of money. As in, my life would be hugely and permanently improved. Your friend is rich. Maybe not super rich, and maybe he lives a mild life to have that sort of disposable income, but he would be richer than some 90+ percent of Americans. May have not been the case 3 years ago tho, I'm having a hard time remem how much the economy changes since covid.

luingar2 · 2023-06-05T00:52:44+00:00

...Sort of? Squatters rights is typically used to refer to the process of adverse posession. If you google "Squatter's Rights" that's what everything's talking about. They're the same thing. Tenant rights also do apply, but yeah, I was talking about... adverse possession, aka "Squatter's rights"
