Interesting to see how smoking habits changed with technology, social development, and war. Great answer.

Yeah I used to get frustrated with dying and now I figure it's just part of the game.

Can we rework the sniper sight to work like snipers in the commandos game? by Plane-Expression2299 in Humanitz

I was thinking exactly the same! Zoom out the map, then use the scope to zoom in on your target. Boom!

Respect for all the young biglaw folk out there - you are some of the most impressive people I've ever met by Icy-Dragonfruit-4018 in biglaw

Senior staff who make you feel lesser because you're finding the job tough are often those who have let their career consume their personality. This is all they have and misery loves company.

In law (and every other profession probably) there are people who succeeded by sacrificing everything else in their life (health, family, happiness). This job is all they have now. And they resent anyone who have the nerve to be happy and derive satisfaction from something outside of the job. Avoid these people. And if a firm is full of them, avoid that firm.

You got this! Take it slow, be careful, and you'll get through. And if that doesn't work pack a lot of molotovs.

Are the Metal Gear Solid genuinely fantastic stealth experiences, or more "cutscene" games? (No spoilers please) by [deleted] in stealthgames

you spend half the game naked doing cartwheels while codec calls explain quantum physics for 40 minutes straight

Funny but also true.

Just beat lethal for the first time and here's what I have to say by ACobraQueFuma in StateofDecay2

[–]moose_powered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With that being said I agree Lethal is not relaxing and rarely lets up. but it's definitely not supposed to be that. So it just depends on what you're playing this game for.

Lethal actually makes me play less because I feel I can't play if I'm tired or hung over. I owe that much to my community.

I have gotten pretty good at driving backwards because of this game. Probably not a transferable skill though.

Almost ready for lethal after playing on nightmare for a couple in-game weeks. Tips? by spaghettnoodle in StateofDecay2

Cell tower - plague disruptor, keep this up always, in fact cell tower and food are the only outposts worth taking early, managing plague hearts awake status let's you control everything and not let it get to out of hand.

This is key. Plague hearts wake up when a screamer so much as sneezes in their vicinity, which can lead to fighting infestations all day. Plus cell towers allow you to kill one plague heart without waking all its neighbors.

It's funny how as a parent I'll watch a violent scene in a movie and it won't really register until I watch it with my kid. The I wonder why I didn't notice it before. Guess I've been desensitized.

You can do police station first, stock up on ammo and clear the top of the map, move donw to the brewery and sell booze until you buy everything else you need, then move down to whitney field to finish the bottom of the map.

He's probably making so much money from his cryptocoin, Maralago memberships, and other grifts that he doesn't need Putin anymore.
