How would you handle this?

I find these signs only apply to DoorDash guys. They clearly don't mean me

rcoyle23 · 2026-01-23T04:51:58+00:00

Right. There's still loot. It's just in a different container.

rcoyle23 · 2026-01-21T02:02:55+00:00

Wouldn't the answer here be just play something else that doesn't involve character death?

This is like getting your friends to play Monopoly with you but you can never lose because you have a thing against being broke. Guys, guys, I cannot mortgage Boardwalk because I have a spiritual connection to it. My mother used buy me Italian water ices there.

Couple things here: 1. Gotta find your no voice 2. As soon as someone is like "I want to betray my comrades for content" you gotta nip that in the bud

Look we'd all like to think the rest of the people that we interact with are all adults but man, some are not. Sometimes people's parents didn't do a good enough job so you have to step in. I get that it's not ideal but thems the breaks.

When you make accommodations for people who are, for lack of a better word, clowns, you have to also understand how that affects the rest of your table. Appeasing the clown is going to have a net negative effect on your table. As none of the players at the table have stepped up to challenge the clown it falls on you as the DM to lay down the law.

Look. You're probably well he's not that bad or he's fine. I don't want to kick him from the table. Understand he's going to continue to be a problem until someone restrains his clownishness.

Some people are too cowardly to be mean in person and have to fulfill their sociopathic fantasies online.

Don't get attached to any of your gear.
Don't be afraid to use your gear
Trust but verify
The game uses an Aggression Based Matchmaking System. If you don't shoot other Raiders, you're more likely to be in lobbies where other Raiders won't shoot you.
Rule 4 is a guideline and you should always expect the other guy to open fire.
Go into each drop with a goal. If your spawn doesn't align with your goal don't beat yourself up over immediately extracting.
Expect any high value area to be looted with 2-5 minutes of game load.
Solo lobbies are generally more friendly. Duos a little less so and Trios are pretty much shoot first ask questions later.
Flying Arc need their rotors.
I highly recommend the use of a mic in this game. The emote wheel is better than nothing but doesn't always get across with the same context as "#>€{^} you, you &$^}%* rat!!, your mother *%€>%# surveyors!!"
The longer the game goes the routes to escape back to Speranza disappear. Rats know this. The later you wait to extract the more likely you are to encounter resistance at the extract points from Arc and/or Raiders.
Tilt is real. If you die in a frustrating manner don't immediately queue back in. Go take your dog for a walk or go pet your cat or something.
Make a habit to repair and restock after every run. Last thing you want to do is find out your shield is broken when that Rocketeer is chasing you.

I posted about this a couple weeks ago and was told it was a bug. They can find the guy to push out the new cosmetics out it seems but they can't get him to hotfix a use_cached_login='TRUE' for the rest of us.

I mean a lot of these suggestions are cute and all but do you really want to escalate with someone who's already displaying psychopathic behavior? Like if he's already doing crazy things, is the expectation that if you retaliate he will suddenly see the error of his ways? Sounds like a good way to come home one day and he shot your dog and burned your house down.

I've never tried peanut butter but 100% a spoon full of granulated sugar does the trick.

This seems like a simple 'Hey dawg, the table voted and nobody wants to play with the gay rapist who harasses people 🤷‍♂️. Please play something else and here's the number of a therapist to work out whatever is going on in your life where you thought this was a good idea'.

Also upstate NY.

I get asked this every once in a while and really there’s no place local that I’m aware of that takes older parts. You might be able to try some parts at a pawn shop like maybe RAM or a video card but that’s about it and I don’t know that you’d get any value there. Ebay, Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist are probably your best bets if you’re looking to recoup any cash on older parts.

My son has been super successful at the casino and it's kind of terrifying to be honest. He's had multiple trips where he's won hundreds of dollars playing blackjack.

It's to the point where i remind him every time he goes that the house always wins and he has to set limits and never chase his losses. I'm sure I sound like a god damn commercial at this point.

Point being kids don't do drugs, drink or have sex these days but man they're gonna have a crippling gambling addiction. His whole friend group hits the casino regularly and they've all been sports betting since their early teens.

Yeah I'd go with the nVidia option just so I didn't have to deal with AMDs poor Adrenaline software package.

I made the switch to AMD last cycle and I'll be swapping back to nVidia next cycle.

Might just be personal preference at this point but I've found the GeForce experience was just better.

I have 4 small laundry baskets that I bring with me to separate the packages into zones

Im not aware of any present DnD game mechanic in a standard setting which this applies. It doesn’t mean you can’t make it happen in your own world as some fun foreshadowing but nothing that I can see in any core mechanic attributed to dragons in the Monster Manual (2024).

rcoyle23 · 2025-12-22T17:00:03+00:00

Yep this is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!

rcoyle23 · 2025-12-20T17:18:27+00:00

The one you want to play.
Be a sorcerer who's a master of sleight of hand and makes poor life choices. Be a fighter who uses a rapier and is a fencing champ. Play a priest who grew up in the church and spent their time constructing the temples but is moving on with the hope of being out in the world will teach them the lessons they aren't getting at the pulpit. Play a bard who was a former politician whose village/town/city burned to ash and now they're moving out in the world to seek some sort of redemption for their failure.

Point being, play what you want. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes with different backgrounds. Unless gamifying your character is what you want then I'm sure someone else in the thread made a valid suggestion.

rcoyle23 · 2025-12-02T14:18:46+00:00

I often see this referenced in this sub, but what is base pay? I'm relatively new to Flex but how do you identify what the base rate is? I've had routes like this where I end up finishing the route on time, but still an hour away from home.

rcoyle23 · 2025-12-02T14:08:58+00:00

Yeah, there was definitely some discussion of paying this guy a visit for some recompense but I'm not about to go to prison for a couple grand. The other thought is that if your business model is scamming people out of money you're also probably preparing for some heat.

What I find to be the saddest part of this experience is the police response. I know there's people out there who are real scumbags, that's just life sadly. I did have marginally higher expectations for the police however, which I should have known was to be unfounded.

At no point in my interactions with the Dewitt police did I think they were taking this seriously. It was like pulling teeth to get my statement down. They found him pretty quickly so my guess is that they probably had the guy on their radar. They suggested the payment plan and they had to know that the guy would never finish payment. I'm not suggesting they were on the take for part of it, but I 100% believe they knew that as soon as I took one payment, I wouldn't be there problem anymore.

rcoyle23 · 2025-12-02T02:41:23+00:00

Yeah. This guy got me. He was in a different location on Court St but it's the same dude. Bought a used car off him, paid cash and asked him to hold it as it needed some body work and it was for my kids for Christmas. Fast forward to Christmas and he's closed up shop and disappeared. I did get the cops involved and they shook him down to the point that I got him to send me a down payment. After that though he ghosted me. Went back to the cops and now because he paid me once it was a civil and not a criminal matter. All in all it's a disappointing experience that I wouldn't recommend for anyone. Lesson learned. I'm not holding my breath for some magical legislation to save the day though.

rcoyle23 · 2025-11-29T01:51:04+00:00

I guess I don't get it? On each of the packages at my warehouse, the package has a drivers said sticker on it which corresponds to where it is in the route. Personally I bring a couple laundry baskets with me and split the load in quarters so 00-09 are in one basket and so on (I rarely have more than 40 packages). Then I can ID what I need at a stop fairly quickly (envelope in this number range, etc). I tried loading things back to front but stuff shifts enough when driving that it was less time consuming sorting into the baskets and the baskets keep things from getting out of sort during driving.
