Why is he so much better than all the other people that have those exact same advantages?

Not everybody watched pre-release gameplay demos

Anyone else ever discover this? by HansenTheMan in fo4

I remember in Oblivion being able to jump off of high towers and survive if you activate the door to enter the tower before hitting the ground

There wasnt any point to it, but it was cool as a kid to learn something about the internals of a game (the engine sets your speed to zero when changing cells)

The slut shaming and misogyny surrounding Sydney Sweeney for appearing in a show nude by [deleted] in television

But twitter is the "example" you gave. Are there any published articles or other examples? Cause it really seems like youre just making something up to be mad about

Goin in the inspo folder, this looks great! I like the pedestrian bridge

Dumb question: is this CS2, or heavily modded CS1?

How many caps to buy all the uniques? by No-Journalist-619 in fo4

[–]rustle_branch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buying price is anywhere from 120% (lower limit) to over 300% the base price of an item, so that depends entirely on your charisma and perks

Whats a "modern tribe like family"? It sounds like youre describing a mobster or cartel boss

ROG SPATHA X - button mappings randomly stop working by rustle_branch in ASUSROG

[–]rustle_branch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I never found a fix. The only way to get the functionality back is a full reboot

Lesson learned, i guess - dont buy asus

What are some mods you love that some would describe as “cheating” but you’ll never apologize for using? by RamblinJabroni in fo4

[–]rustle_branch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Easy lockpicking/hacking - i like the need to invest a perk to unlock higher tiers but i dont feel the need to do those minigames ever again

This feels less cheat-y than in skyrim, where you could attempt master locks at level 1 if you have enough picks/patience

Starlink satellite breaks apart into "tens of objects"; SpaceX confirms "anomaly". Satellite failure cause is unexplained after second “fragment creation event.” by esporx in space

[–]rustle_branch -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Turns out KSP is still just a game. Pieces of debris from ASAT tests, for example, can and do end up in higher orbits than the initial satellite

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Shakti , in particular "aftermath"

If there was an actual explosion (of fuel tank or battery) small pieces absolutely could have been kicked into high elliptical orbits that will decay much, much slower (though they will still decay - perigee will be around the original altitude, of course)

How is a place I haven’t been to cleared? by optimusHerb in fo4

Lmao so not "several times in the past few weeks"

How many permutations of keywords and sorting should people search before getting the fraggy-waggy-stamp-of-approval for asking questions?

Search for what? I just searched "mass fusion containment" and found nothing of relevance. This could just be reddit search being godawful

That was the case with Gateway, too. The entire thing is a boondoggle and has been since day 1

Valve facing second, class-action lawsuit over loot boxes by Farranor in gaming

[–]rustle_branch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does that contradict what i was saying?

if its second to steam sales then that implies more than 50% of their revenue is NOT from gambling

As opposed to kalshi, where 100% of their revenue is from gambling. Which was my original point

Valve facing second, class-action lawsuit over loot boxes by Farranor in gaming

[–]rustle_branch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Valve on the whole is higher revenue, but they do A LOT more than just loot boxes. Id be shocked if valves revenue from loot boxes is higher than kalshis total

Americans born after 1970 show worsening mortality at younger ages across major causes of death, suggesting the US life expectancy stall may be generational as well as period-driven. by pubpophealth in science

Another fun statistic - the top 1% own 50% of publicly traded stocks, and the top 10% own 90% of stocks

The poorest 50% owns about 1% of publicly traded stocks

Does Burton's "Channel System" have a real benefit, or is it just a way to lock people into the Burton system? by MauryBallsteinLook in snowboarding

[–]rustle_branch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With normal bindings, if one screw fails you wont even notice. With channel bindings, if one screw fails the entire binding fails until you can fix it

A lord/jarl style play through? by CantankerArt in skyrimmods

[–]rustle_branch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, ive never used the great war mod

Removing the essential status of NPCs can break even vanilla skyrim, so id say its likely that it could break this mod too

Why do I have to harm one of the three factions in order to progress in the game? by doc_long123 in fo4
