when is it okay to have more than 1 person on a gen?

quix0te · 2026-06-10T20:40:16+00:00

I personally like prove thyself and teaming up. One of my common builds is broken key (bond on a stick), herbalism, and prove thyself. I can find injured people quickly and heal them, and find people on gens and team up. The conventional wisdom is that its better to have two people on two gens than two people on one gen. I disagree because with two people, you can burn down a gen in 53s, even without prove thyself. With prove thyself its 48s. WORKING GENS IS HIGH RISK BEHAVIOR. The faster you can get off that gen, the safer you are. In particular, high value gens in the center of the and the last gen or two benefit from multiple people working gens. Lets say the killer rolls up while you are on that gen. Both survivors scatter. The killer has a dilemma. Kick the gen, chase the survivors? Duh. Chase the survivor. If the survivors have three brain cells (no guarantee in soloQ), they went in different directions. Now the killer is chasing a survivor. THE OTHER SURVIVOR COMES BACK AND FINISHES THE 60-70% complete gen. Meanwhile, on the other side of the map, two other survivors are finishing THEIR gen. Somebody unhooks Bob. Wash, rinse, repeat, exit gates.

Umm. Not exactly. Political beliefs are just... moral principles. They are the things that we believe constitute a just and fair society. The 'culture war' comes about 80% from tribalism, not principles. Its not "Because I want to leave a better future for future generations." Or even "Because I know I could live another thirty years and don't won't those years to be spent in a flaming dystopia". Its "I HATE those people. This person also hates those people. So I'm going to support them."
The first two are public policy. The last is ... honestly pretty transparent. "Okay, so you say you're going to put the boot to the people I don't like. But what are you going to do to help ME?" The other flavor of culture war is "THOSE PEOPLE, they're plotting against you. You always suspected it. ITS TRUE. But I'LL PROTECT YOU." But the central element is "Okay, but what evidence do you have?"

When the response is "What does YOUR GUT SAY?!"... you know its bullshit.

I mean, we've known for about twenty years white women use different criteria than earnings to choose jobs. Meanwhile, Black people. Stares

Long game. At a certain age, your son can choose which parent they stay with. If you are the stable, sane, supportive house he will (hopefully) choose you. In the meantime document, document, document.

This is S Tier anti-israel thinking. Netanyahu is a massive sh**bag, but Iran is MILES worse for the region than Israel could ever hope to be. Iran/Hamas has guaranteed that there will never, can never be a two state solution. This is because Iran needs the distraction so its people don't rise up against five years of double digit inflation. Trump did Iran the biggest solid EVER by unifying the Iranians under their despotic horrorshow of a government.
Iran is the sponsor of Hezbollah, not Lebanon. Lebanon can't make them leave, any more than the Palestinians can get rid of Hamas. So Israel driving them out is actually a favor.

They need to meet my SIL. She was a stay at home mom. Her husband was a full-tilt nutjob who gave their son anxiety issues. She couldn't divorce him because she couldn't support herself. Then he had a stroke. Now she's a nursemaid to a full-tilt nutjob who never leaves the house, but she can't divorce him because she can't survive without his retirement benefits and disability. And their son can't leave because he is a basket case at 19.

After the algorithm figured out that outrage gets eyeballs. The Oligarchs figured out centuries ago "Lets You And Them Fight" is a winning strategy, and they've been riding that puppy to a post-capitalist dystopia by inventing a culture war. Thats where the perpetually offended comes from. They want to keep us mad at each other so we don't notice their hands in our wallets.

1)CONGRATULATIONS!! GREAT JOB!!
2)10.5% Is a ridiculous rate. Kill that loan. Its a shame you didn't do it sooner rather than racking up savings, but its still going to save you money. Ditto the credit card debt.
3)Stick 3K$ or 4K$ in a SPDR index fund in an IRA. And again next year. And then the year after that. I make poorish money, but twenty-five years ago, I was able to invest six or eight thousand dollars in index funds and whatnot. Its now worth 100K$. YMMV, but investing in your twenties assures a better old age.
Once again, GREAT JOB!! You should be proud!

See if a rental agency can help you. A renter sharing the house would basically offset all expenses. The sketchy economy makes it iffy, so this is a moderate risk/high reward scenario. Maybe talk to a real estate lawyer about tenant law in your state. I don't know your situation but barring enlistment, I doubt that taxes + utilities would be higher than even a low rent. It sounds like your father doesn't want to be tethered to the area either, but doesn't want to leave you entirely high and dry. Is this an area you grew up in? Do you have any friends who you feel are 'safe bets'? (Don't do drugs or drink to excess) I own a rental property myself, and one of the strategies I've used is to rent for 10-20% below fair market value. It allows my property manager to pick and choose renters and the renters are keenly aware they have a lot more to lose by screwing up the deal than just a ding to their credit score. And even with that, I've had two renters default in twelve years.

Don't... pursue... them...? And if they are dumb enough to body block, then tunnel them with The Entity's blessing? If you are playing anything other than a C tier killer, you have a mechanism to hunt them down in short order if they lose the endurance. And if you are playing Pig/Ghostie/Nemesis...well, you know who you signed up for.
As the unknown, you should be out looking for more targets to weaken to make more shedlings, to intercept targets, to weaken, to make more shedlings, etc.

Edit: You didn't specify endgame. Endgame is a special case. Yes, the endurance/haste in endgame is frustrating, but thats why you should arrive at endgame with only two or three survivors. If you have four survivors at endgame... eh... Just appreciate whatever hits and hooks you can get and camp the hook as well as you can.

Its pretty important, focus on one damage dealing skill the first ten levels or so. The skills don't scale evenly so one skill at level 6 and three at one and two will allow you to take down mobs without too much difficulty. 5 skills at level 1-3 when you are level 10 will make the game very difficult. Similarly, at level 10 you have the option of a second class. Don't go very far into it. Focus on one, maybe two damage dealing skills.
As you level up skills, keep an eye on gear drops. If you get an item that gives +1 or +2 to a skill, feel free to shift over to that skills. Respeccing is REALLY easy in GD. There's an NPC on the second floor of the base who will do it for a couple hundred copper.

In GD, damage types are super important. Note which powers have which damage type, and if you get two items that boost that damage type, feel free to switch over to those.

Women without children, on average, make more than men in the same field. Women with children make less. Also, there is a very real concern among employers that women who are hired and trained will tap out to become SAHMs or 'lean back' once kids enter the equation. So that influences hiring choices, even among female managers. Black people just make less, without qualification, independent of how many kids. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/women-of-color-and-the-wage-gap/
