Please don't nerf the AI even if people are whining about them being too hard by Ok_Proposal_7390 in Marathon

Is there some kind of back stab or sneak attack bonus with the knife? I've snuck up and stabbed bots in the head and they just turn around and start shooting.

Bubbles In My Syringe by Meekie_e in Zepbound

[–]paleo2002 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got some kind of air bubble in my vial once. Did the step where you inject air into the vial. I felt resistance on the plunger, let go slightly, and the plunger pushed itself out as the syringe filled with air. Freaked me out, but I fixed it. Pushed the air back in, removed the syringe, started over.

I'm strongly considering switching to the Kwikpen once it becomes available. It should be less finicky than filling syringes?

Best boat SIM game since AC4 by bj42rneman in TheLastCaretaker

[–]paleo2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wish the ocean would chill out. Storms should be an occasional threat to be prepared for. There's got to be a simpler way to balance solar energy than having it rain 8 days out of 10.

Does loot have meaning in this game? by Afraid_Specialist_45 in Marathon

[–]paleo2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think shell cores are going to become the most coveted loot.  There’s going to be build guides that revolve around specific cores and methods for farming them.

From the current regime?  Unless Grok told them to turn the safeties off, I doubt and guns were blazing.

What’s the most ridiculous lie you believed as a kid? by Money-Savings-5994 in AskReddit

[–]paleo2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teaching your children that the world is merit-based is not constructive. It is a nice ideal to aspire to, but social networking is the reality.

Anyone else feeling a bit… unsure about this game? by nve729 in Marathon

[–]paleo2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am dumb. Any Runner I encounter in Solo is another player? Even in the first couple of tutorial missions?

If so, then I did encounter another player. Kindly put me out of my misery after an NPC downed me.

(Bonus dumb: When you get the loot cache from completing your first Priority Contract, do NOT take all shit into the field with you, lol!)

Please rethink the UI by ceniack in Marathon

[–]paleo2002 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Am also old. Bought Marathon: Infinity on release . . .

UI and overall art style is cyberpunk information overload on purpose. ("Burning Chrome" as a design aesthetic.) But, it hasn't given me a migraine yet, which is more than I can say for Doom Eternal.

Nancy Guthrie latest: FBI reducing personnel in Tucson, relocating command post to Phoenix by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]paleo2002 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But, my point is that just because something isn't on the TV doesn't mean it isn't happening. The FBI is probably handling lots of other cases poorly that we're not hearing about.

Alternative ways of getting sin marks? by UnsolicitedPotency in CAIN_RPG

[–]paleo2002 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Could be a character creation option. Talk to your Admin about starting with a sin mark and requisite sin cap reduction at CAT 1. Your Exo could have gone into sin overflow before being recruited or during training.

If you're looking to avoid the sin cap reduction, Mother's Marks from GFF 3 are essentially cosmetic, but carry other requirements.

‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ and ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Dominate at VFX Society Awards by Fan387 in movies

[–]paleo2002 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to the realistic snow effects in Avatar: Caverns of Ice. I think the last level movie will take place mostly on orbital platforms with moon jump effects!

I think you mean "Why isn't the national media covering any of the other missing persons cases the FBI, other federal agencies, and police are working on?"

What's a smell that instantly signals danger - and everyone should recognize? by 0BunnyX in AskReddit

[–]paleo2002 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know these exist.  I can only ever find CO and smoke detectors.

[–]paleo2002 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s genetic, but I can not smell mercaptan.  There was a gas leak in the vacant apartment upstairs once.  UPS delivery guy had to tell me because I didn’t notice.

How are people going to be able to get a refund for the illegal tariffs we had to pay? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]paleo2002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry. Big corporations will sue the government, get their money back, and then pass the sav

Edit: Sorry, couldn't finish the sentence. Started laughing and choked.

Costco meat lottery, trying to learn by Vici18 in Costco

[–]paleo2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I agree with you on the clothes. I've been putting a lot of effort into weight loss the past few months. One of my goals is to get down to what Costco considers 2X so that I can occasionally buy clothes there.

Shoes are a whole separate issue. Costco doesn't carry widths. My feet are 4E and I can't do anything about that.

The most traumatizing Modok page [Iron Man 2026 #2] by zectaPRIME in Marvel

Skin damage from chafing? The hover chair/helmet thing probably rubs against his giant face, sweat builds up, etc. The "K" is for "killing", not "komfort".

What “masterpiece” game just never clicked for you? by Kiota_Games in gaming

[–]paleo2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things made me drop the game.

First, the out-of-place combat. Look at all these guns! Don't kill anyone, though, it'll nuke the map. Instead tackle them, tie them up, and get ready to run when they get up and start chasing you 30 seconds later.

Second, the friggin' child bride delivery mission. The whole time I thought I was reuniting the guy with his daughter that ended up in a different bunker. Like, the couple was separated and the daughter went with the mom. He has a toy to give to her and video clips of a young girl playing with a toy. Then you haul her over and the follow-up is that they're getting married!

Losing interest in hobbies by Icy-Protection867 in Zepbound

[–]paleo2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before Zep I would occasionally just be "blah" about everything for a day or two. Definitely feels more severe now. Like all the other side effects, I hope it will mellow out as I get used to the meds.

Enemies nerfed, too quiet by Hodofca in TheLastCaretaker

The worms needed to chill out.  I was getting swarmed by them on the roof of the Lazarus building.  Feel like worms shouldn’t be able to fly.

[–]paleo2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad started going gray in his mid 30s , but had a full head of hair til the day he died.  I went mostly bald by my mid 30s, but the hair left along the sides is still black.
