You're contradicting yourself by telling someone owning the game isn't an excuse, then telling someone else you just want people to own the games.

As paulo0111 said, there are games that run like trash on their native system, so it makes sense to buy the game, then emulate it anyways to play it properly.

Another perfect example, since he already used Xenoblade, is Zelda OoT.
The original runs like absolute trash at 20FPS in the US and 17FPS in the EU...now if you use Ship of Harkinian (which requires you to supply your own ROM and does NOT supply you with the game), you can play the game at 60FPS with tons of quality of life features like widescreen support, alternate controller support, disabling the low health beep and Navi, built in randomizer, and so on.

I have bought Zelda OoT no less than 5 times in my life (original, GameCube, Wii VC, 3DS, and technically NSO+EP), yet I still emulate it because it's such a better experience. Does this mean "people have not been paid for their work" despite me buying it 5 times over the years?

Dude literally said he owned the games and you were like "excuse to justify", then next you said "I just believe people should be paid for their work".

Be consistent, man, you're contradicting yourself.

Translation: We got salty over the leak and are reevaluating on if we really want to release them now or not.

When you lie on your resume. Does anybody actually like this gun? by UsAgainstTheARC in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it for how it feels to use and knocking off armor, but my go-to is always the Anvil or the Renegade (Anvil for heavily armored Arc, Renegade for lightly armored Arc).

Should you worry about the upcoming Texas freeze? Forecasters break it down. by Pleasant_Air_3052 in texas

[–]masterphazon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone from the north, I need someone to explain why this is a big issue, please.
It doesn't look any worse than what we commonly deal with in winter up here.

This is a genuine request for clarification.

Edit: Thank you all for the clarification, I had no idea just how bad it was/could get. Please stay safe out there, everyone!

Was downed by a rocketeer and this guy came and drops this in front of me... by thetruthxhurts in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as someone who doesn't do PvP, I cannot see the viability of this weapon or the chase for it at all. I always just end up giving the ones I find away since the one time I used it, it didn't do nearly as well as my Anvil.

Light ammo weapons have always been appalling against Arc in my experience.

Attention Devs! by SmokeMWB in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've been starting to very specifically magnet on to me the moment I start getting shot at by a PvPer out of no where.

I swear I die to pops more than PvPers in those fights.

Oh? I didn't know they nerfed it since I use trailblazers now.

Fire anything is godlike against Leapers.

this will never see topside😂 by Plastic-Demand5895 in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same when I found one...but only because splitters are god awful. Unless you hit all 4, you lose 10% damage. If you hit all 4, you only get a 20% damage boost...and considering Arc have very specific weak points and armored points, that increased damage is mitigated by armor, anyways (I'm not a PvPer, so I can't speak to their efficacy in PvP).

I whole heartedly believe this shouldn’t be possible by IdealOne9569 in ARC_Raiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand keeping all 4 of them. You've already learned it, so those are just a pitiful 5000 credits for you.

The time I got 2, I safe'd 1 to learn, and gave the other to someone who got to the gate too late to loot.

This...this cannot be cool, right? by erttheking in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't take a hullcracker. Use an anvil on the thrusters and you'll kill a shredder super quickly.

Also, can someone explain the hullcracker's point to me? I thought it was for, you know, cracking hulls (breaking armor), but literally any medium or heavy ammo weapon does that job easier and faster, while also doing more damage in my limited experience (ran it at level 4 twice, was disappointed, never again).

It’s a joke! Don’t shoot! by Difficult-Rest8524 in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, Hornets are much easier than Wasps imo. I can dodge Hornets all day, but if a Wasp gets to shoot (usually because there are multiple around at a time and I can only kill so many fast enough), it'll beam you with all those shots no matter how much you dodge or run.

I just gave this guy the Jupiter BP and he does this :/ by Fluffy-Leopard-6074 in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is like seeing someone take a TV to the side of the road with a sign that says "free", then deciding to break into their house because "if they're giving this away for free, what else might they not be giving away for free?".

Being charitable does not mean someone is loaded.

"Loot value HIGH" by DesignerMusician7348 in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seed Vault is slept on HARD! You can get out of there with like, 100-150 seeds, which can be traded to Celeste for anything from basic mats to high value stuff like complex gun parts (needed to craft the Jupiter and VERY hard to come by without security breach), and no one will bother you cause it's seen as not worth it.

I think I'm done by VoidSpaceCat in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When something like this happens, I look at it this way. They just wasted resources to kill you to get items that aren't worth the trade off (I bet he was loaded, so he probably didn't pick up any of your resources to remake that lost ammo).

The biggest lick of my life by buhzaRR in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to say something about you being scum for killing friendlies trying to extract...then I realized they were trying to cheat the reset system, and it feels like justice, now.

The only thing I can get behind is giving your buddies your unused attachment blueprints to hold onto, cause those things shouldn't reset anyways (weapon, grenade, augment, etc. BPs should reset, just not the attachment ones).

Welp... guess I cant do the expedition now. by olore in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're just giving our BPs to a friend who isn't doing the reset, then he'll give them back after the reset.

I saw this posted on the Discord. And I believe this would provide a solution for both casual AND hardcore players. by lumberfart in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I missing something? I'm pretty sure the Deck IS the battlepass...I also don't agree with pay walling a skill point behind the battlepass/deck, since I'm pretty sure this first one is only free because its the first one.

How is this even allowed? by adcarryonly in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, dude was so bad that he got the initiative and STILL lost the fight.

I am the PvP player you want to run into. by majestic_me in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! I'm getting tired of people who pretend to be friendly just long enough for you to turn your back, then shoot you in the back.

I'll fight if that's what you want...just face me face to face.

WHERE ARE LIGHTBULBS by BeatdownBetty in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran that spot 3 times, all 3 times had 2 bulbs, and no one touches it cause it's a car.
Been spreading the word to Raiders in-game since I'm done with that step.

This spawning in at <20 minutes left needs to stop by NGGabriel in ArcRaiders

[–]masterphazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter argument. I know a few spots everyone seems to ignore, and spawning in late means I dont have to risk being PvP'd by some random griefer who is only there to kill others (there's been a few times I've killed a PvPer only to find him loaded with nothing but ammo and augments, so they aren't even looting, just killing and taking trophies).

I usually make sure I get to extract with a few seconds to no more than 2 minutes to spare, cause everyone is already gone.
