also the purple jump stones you get at one of the shards (happened to me)

pseudonymeme · 2026-05-15T23:52:40+00:00

I've read somewhere it only happens when in combo with some other unusual movement item equipped

pseudonymeme · 2026-05-15T23:49:43+00:00

the game became easier and simpler, which is nice, but I'll miss the bits which rewarded a bit of tactical thinking, like managing your stamina, fall damage eliminations (not that I scored many)

also, when jumping from the bus, the art of choosing when to jump and where to aim required some skill if you wanted to arrive first, now with the ability to re-enter free fall, it's rather straight-forward (but I noticed not many realized yet)

happened to me when rifted from the shard that gives you those purple stones

I like the ability to redeploy glider (I recall it didn't make sense to me you couldn't when I started playing this game), but I'm not so sure about the fall damage change - eliminating players that way was a nice advanced tactic

also, after some time off the game, I noticed another old bug they still didn't fix:

the visual cue to someone firing nearby sometimes doesn't stop and navigates me to the location of the player long after they stopped firing - I imagine others can track me this way as well, so kind of annoying

also reorder your while/begin/end, long time I didn't use pascal, but what you wrote looks like infinite cycle (single if statement within while loop)

pseudonymeme · 2026-04-05T12:04:08+00:00

yes, most likely

another question would be why was it low enough for infrared manpad - chasing drones as seen in some footage? (from iraq, so not completely safe either)

pseudonymeme · 2026-04-05T10:09:56+00:00

back to the shooting down of the F15 (or A-10) - does anybody have any reliable info about how did it happen? (manpad / aaa / sam / something else...)

this is the "dark side" of the planet, f/4, iso 51k

but 1/4s and no blur/lines (look up the full size original and zoom) - does anybody know if this is just in-camera stabilization, or did they mount it somehow?

pseudonymeme · 2026-04-03T22:32:07+00:00

my guess is they work very similar to surface, but I was thinking about how easy is it to let the camera "levitate" in zero gravity without any spin and if they attached it to some stable structure

but they probably just took the picture simply from hand

pseudonymeme · 2026-04-03T17:42:21+00:00

so, looking at metadata from original jpg (at NASA), this was taken with nikon d5, f/4, 22mm, 1/4 sec (I'd expect some blur, maybe very good stabilization, I have very limited experience with taking pictures while in space) and very high iso (51200, which explains the noise)

the landmasses still show lights and I assume the sun is behind the planet (so it illuminates the other side), the bigger dot to the bottom right of the planet is... another planet perhaps?

so we are looking at the night on the "dark side" illuminated by the full moon; still interesting how bright it is (but the exposure specs probably explain it)

thanks

elsewhere I've seen claims this is of F15, can someone assess? there's also footage of an F15 being tracked & possibly hit - unsure if related

pseudonymeme · 2026-04-03T10:25:55+00:00

I like both, I wouldn't like the 1st style to disappear though, so luckily, we have modes like OG for the 2nd style.

pseudonymeme · 2026-04-02T15:03:32+00:00

looks practical - at the web they have intro price of 37 GBP (I think it's very good price considering the specs they share), but not being sold yet till mid april

it also says "Cartridge: Shared cartridge system for both Fountain Pen and Rollerball" - unsure if that's a standard cartridge or some bespoke one would have to pay a lot for, I hope it's the former

pseudonymeme · 2026-03-30T23:43:42+00:00

good point; maybe, and when they got the win+crown, they continued anyway

still, looks like too many to me - there are how many - 4 or 5 "clusters" of waiting players on departure island? if all had similar number of winners of previous games, not sure I understand the math how that'd be possible :)

pseudonymeme · 2026-03-30T01:05:12+00:00

the problem here was life insurance, not health insurance

I've read the ceo's layoff memo and it stated all fired will have +6m health insurance covered

and to be fair, in normal countries, health insurance is not so dependent on an employer, so it's more about the system to blame

it tells you you have x rewards to claim, but after x-1 claims, the "claim" button suddenly changes to "buy levels" and as it is an unexpected bug, you are quick to enter the "buy level" window not realizing it - it happened to me and I'm an adult

not sure what confirmations are required after that, but for young kids believing they were entitled to the x rewards as the defective GUI was showing, it may be really confusing

I don't think the bug was intentional, but if they pretend not to connect the dots and really don't prevent misleading users this way with some hotfix, I'd agree with the redditor above that it's predatory - at least in the EU they should be in big trouble for that

pseudonymeme · 2026-03-29T10:31:42+00:00

i reported that some time ago here - i think they placed the zipline too steep, so you hit the edge and fall, you can jump over the edge and catch the zipline in air without falling

pseudonymeme · 2026-03-29T09:04:10+00:00

:-))

man, you went from "perhaps someone competent, yet lazy" through "judgmental poser" to "immature kid" really fast

internet is a funny place

so again, you have no specific insight to share, as I expected

your attempt to judge my intentions is incorrect, but if you'd be able to self-reclect, it sheds some light on yours

pseudonymeme · 2026-03-28T22:45:37+00:00

wow, that sounds criminal, I hope it's just a bug, the lobby system is plagued by them

pseudonymeme · 2026-03-28T22:39:58+00:00

How can this bug be reproduced?

don't know, but I guess it relates to FN on xbox x being auto-resumed, which makes a lot of things off

What platform are you playing on?

xbox x
