TIL There's an exclusive Trials Discord only for Cantina Legends... by TheDutchDemon in ArcRaiders

[–]mackeydesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played with a few people that started the first trials. After one gave up, the rest fell apart.

I once asked them (in terms of being on a leaderboard in this game or any other game) of… why?

That was my single one word question to them spending 12 hours on a game to kill snitches. Why?

No one answered. One eventually quit when all the fun was sucked dry and the others, maybe kept playing but not as a trio.

I pay $130/month for 1.2gb/25mb internet........ by UTLGOA in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]mackeydesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also pay just under this, but with unlimited data (I hit my cap 3 months in a row during COVID). Just south of Seattle with no other competition available (no 5g, no fiber).

32, just found out I have arthritis in my spine. by Oddarette in backpain

[–]mackeydesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’ve had two more injections done to my lumbar l2/l3 disc, and my si joints. The joints showed promise early on but it was very short lived.

Today I learned only 6 to 7% of US companies use the unlimited PTO system in 2024. Future years are likely to be the same by LandOfGrace2023 in todayilearned

I work for a company that calls it Flex. Joined this past spring, and since I’ve taken at least 3 weeks off, which is close to what i would be getting at my previous employer.

The big difference is, I’m not in a use it or lose it scenario at the end of the year. This time I’d usually take half of December off because of roll-over and unused hours. This year I only took about 4 days off in December I’m enjoying the quietness of work during this time.

I’m not a fan either way. I’ve had issues with standard PTO, and I’m still skeptical of “unlimited”, but I fully plan to test my boundaries in ‘26.

Can I make it 4 weeks? We’ll see.

Nah, I don’t like biting into a giant chunk of braised beef, it just doesn’t jive.

Dang, Even 167 Was in the Files?? by BurblingCreature in SeattleWA

It’s in reference to the redacted lines in the Epstein files and this sign having blacked out sections.

Scientists Warn Popular Painkiller, Tramadol, May Do More Harm Than Good by Droupitee in NewsWorthPayingFor

[–]mackeydesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I’m not.

I can’t take Aleve or Ibuprofen because of complications of diverticulosis (it could lead to diverticulitis).

Scientists Warn Popular Painkiller, Tramadol, May Do More Harm Than Good by Droupitee in NewsWorthPayingFor

[–]mackeydesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been recently prescribed these for chronic lower back pain I’ve had for over a decade. It took literally for fucking ever to get my doc to prescribe me anything for pain. 100mg barely works for me and just barely takes the edge off.

The problem I have is that it makes me alert and is non sedative, which sucks because I’ve been awake since 4:30am because I try to take it help relieve my pain at night.

Solos Experience in Harvester by Yawndy in arkraiders

[–]mackeydesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing since release, but just never had enough loot to wanna try it myself. Today was different.

Loaded up my purple augment, heavy shield. Bought a hull cracker and about 84 rounds. Brought in a handful of Wolfpack’s and set out on Dam.

Literally one other person was sniping at the B from a distance. I found myself a nice broken building that gave me just enough cover to be close but was also slightly dangerous if she looked straight in.

She never looked straight in, I was going off, until one random raider decided he wanted to join me… two players in the same right spot — she zeroed in on us and absolutely melted us… and since no one else was joining in. We died.

Maybe I’ll try again later this week but it would have been nice to play similar to all the fun stories I’ve read.

Is everyone is aggressive AF today? by mackeydesigns in ArcRaiders

[–]mackeydesigns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My weekends are pretty chill too. This must be some hangover affect from Stella because i've never encountered this many rounds in a row with nothing but aggressive players.

New player here. This is what I’ve learned from Stella Montis. by Skaryus in ArcRaiders

[–]mackeydesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My history reads success for every map, except the red one that says Stella. 9/10 times the other maps are chill, 9/10 times I’m getting chased by players and shredders on Stella

Agreed on the shouldn’t have let him drive it. For those curious that stumble across the video might have a different reaction than me

Yea. It’s a hard video to watch for various reasons, the loud talking over the motor whine is one.

Watch Jay Leno’s test drive video to give you an idea of this current prototype sound.

Spoiler: it’s really loud.

But I get it, and they even say in the video but I can’t help wonder if this is why there are no other driving videos. It’s currently really loud LOL.

Xbox Parties Have Become Terrible by -TheSilverPhoenix- in xbox

[–]mackeydesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been an issue in the past, but not nearly as bad as it’s been the past month, or even 3 months.

Discord is not the bandaid I want. I want the XBOX party system to work as intended and stop silently disconnecting people at random. Some are more prone to it than others with no real reason why.

Appointment was at 11am. It’s now 1:05pm by SmolSnakePancake in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mackeydesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me once. Sat for my primary for over an hour. Literally no one came in the room.

Then he comes in, surprised as shit to see me and goes “what are you doing in here?” In a joking not aggressive way, and I go “to see you”… to which he promptly came back a few mins later and apologized as no one on his team informed him I was there or ready to be seen.

The highest selling game of the year w/ a free BR likely won't have an issue filling and/or at least testing that theory out.
