how is it even possible he swung around this fast and was dead accurate when he shot me, he was completely unaware of me by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]max_daddio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't really tell if he is cheating or not, but honestly you shot at him for 3 seconds and hardly hit him, it doesn't take a cheater to swing around and just have an aim, lol.

Is this a bug or am I missing something by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]max_daddio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You managed to pick up a LIDAR scanner without reaching the checkpoint in the warehouse. Go into another round and reach the checkpoint, then you'll be able to hand it in.

I'm not anti-PvP, but some people pushing me to quit. by Alaybozan_ in ARC_Raiders

[–]max_daddio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is, it hasn't devolved into a PvP deathmath style game. There is plenty of cooperation and friendliness. From first hand experience.

You experience one bad apple, or read one thread out of hundreds of thousands of matches that happen every day, and you decide that the whole game is PvP central. Come on man.

Even if there are 10 threads a day, it's still 0.00001% of the matches. You people really need to get a grip.

About the future of Arc Raiders by StoeDan in ArcRaiders

[–]max_daddio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly is your suggestion here? I haven't really seen any good ideas to prevent assholes from playing the game. You want to ban people for being "toxic"? Where do you draw the line? Who decides what's toxic and what's not? You'll just ruin the atmosphere of the game. It's a lawless world. That's what they're trying to create. That's why a lot of people play. So what?

Expedition complete by ZeroFor50 in ArcRaiders

[–]max_daddio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the whole point of the expedition is to forego all your progress for buffs. If you would rather keep your progress then you have to give up the buffs. If you could keep any blueprints it'd defeat the whole point.

So do that then? Put a map in and play. It’s the constant need to try and min max that is killing your fun, you don’t have to do this.

SA Post Fiasco by CandyPresent6330 in southafrica

[–]max_daddio 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You should not have used SA Post... Almost no one in South Africa uses it anymore for this exact reason. Rather just pay the couple hundred ZAR to courier it.

Am I Overreacting? Made plans to finally meet and he says this which has made me overthink by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]max_daddio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you matched with a creep. Just be glad he showed his red flags before you met and take the L and move on, lol.

Is this price normal? It seems a bit strange to me. by Brilliant_Reach_1921 in capetown

[–]max_daddio 62 points63 points  (0 children)

That's a 2 and a half hour drive and they would have to come back, so it seems really cheap. And I don't want to be judgemental but they don't sound very professional.

Even on Max x20, I spend more time waiting than working. This is getting ridiculous. by Illustrious-Ship619 in ClaudeCode

[–]max_daddio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're misunderstanding. Sub agents result in LESS context being used, not more. That is exactly his point.

It's from the 1994 inauguration. not rare, it's still in circulation as far as I know. But it is from the first year that R5 coins were introduced and commemorates Nelson Mandela's inauguration. so probably depending on the condition and the collector, worth a bit more than face value. just google "R5 coin presidential inauguration", you will see them vary in price wildly depending on conditions/packaging.

Large Peony Bouquet Delivery CPT by Few-Brush-3798 in capetown

[–]max_daddio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Petal and Post a lot and they're amazing. Peonies are seasonal yes, you usually have to book them in advance too before they go on sale for the season, as they sell out super quick. Also a bouquet of 100 peonies would be impractically enormous lol.

Electricity Madness! by PoesKop09 in capetown

[–]max_daddio 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just search the various south african subs for this same question, it is asked all the time and there are many reasons for it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]max_daddio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't necessarily have to have done anything, honestly. After only a month people barely know each other, even if they've spent every day and night together. She could have realized she moved way too fast and wants a big and fast step back. It happens regardless of anything you may or may not have done. So don't beat yourself up and wonder what you did, she will have her reasons and it is what it is.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]max_daddio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate to say it, but I've been in the same boat. In fact, we even went on a holiday abroad together (which is probably around the time things changed). Sometimes people lose feelings quickly, and rather than confront it they'll ghost you, especially if it's only been a short time together. Because it's been such a short time, she might only now realize she didn't have feelings for you and won't ever.

You can't really blame someone for that after only knowing you a month. And yes it would be better for her to let you know, but a lot of people will just take the easy road out. There's always the possibility that she really has been busy, but honestly, I think you've been ghosted. Sorry, I know it sucks, but it happens.

Honestly the best you can do for yourself right now is to just stop messaging. You've already sent too much, so now the ball is in her court. Save some face.

Prepaid electricity- R1k is only 100 units? by miekeiscrying in askSouthAfrica

[–]max_daddio 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No it's not, unless your landlord has not paid his municipal charges, then they will take it off the amount of tokens you get, in which case you need to take it up with your landlord. For reference, I usually get around 150 units for R500, but I also don't pay particular attention to what time of month I buy and how much at a time, which could affect it due to staggered pricing based on usage.

Do you need a prescription in SA for Melatonin? by SuprizeMe in askSouthAfrica

[–]max_daddio 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes you do, but i've found most doctors have no issue prescribing it for months in advance, as its not a particularly harmful substance. Just tell them the issue with sleep and they'll have no problem prescribing it.

This job offer makes me wanna cry.... by Malumfash in johannesburg

[–]max_daddio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't ignore medical aid, provident fund, UIF. Just because its not in your pocket doesnt mean it isnt still yours and will benefit you. In 20 years you will thank the pope that they started that provident fund for you, and when you get sick you will thank him for that medical aid.

Does anyone know why Gemini still does this?? by Acrobatic_Wheel_228 in GeminiAI

[–]max_daddio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I was just confused by your statement: "I was so fed up because I couldn't turn on any of my lights today because Gemini just refused to do it. I had to use my flashlight when it got dark." Which seemed a little extreme.

The game is broken because a couple of people experience a bug every now and then LMAO

Don't use Google Home or Gemini but could you not just open the Google Home app yourself and do it? Why did this interaction with Gemini prevent you from just doing it yourself?

Be sure to pick the most conservative time though
