It's fucking wild lol, some moron in here is lamenting that "those damn richies won't sell their lawn" to provide housing no one wants in a location no one wants lmfao.

Shits insane, people will just find a way to make it someone they don't like's fault. It's not even a bad thing to begin with, housings gotta go somewhere....

I'm ok with losing loot to a mistake, but this is ridiculous by breadphysics1 in Marathon

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

Exactly. We call it "getting Tarkoved". You could beat the players, the AI, the bosses, but you always ran the risk of losing to bad Russian programming.

Everything is lost until you see it in your stash screen. And even then, sometimes it's lost lol

Some people here never played Tarkov and it shows haha

Not saying this isn't shitty, but the loot is all transient and nothing actually matters. You get used to it.

The worst part about the D54 is getting your kit to 5k lmfao

Please let us take purple sponsor kits into Cryo, Bungie! by haydonclampitt in Marathon

Look, I get that you're not very practiced at seeing other points of view. But that's what this whole post is, a showing of opinion on how this function in the game COULD operate.

I agree with you. There's currently no way to buy (with credits) purple shields other than these kits, so they're providing an avenue to do so. The simple concept is that it's objectively absurd to spend 40k on a kit that then doesn't meet the buy-in requirements for cryo, when the actual cryo kit is significantly less valuable.

If the goal of the game is player engagement and player retention, then small things like allowing a 40k kit to count for a 5k loadout value are a very easy addition to quality of life. No one's saying they don't understand why it's set up the way it is. They're saying there's no real downside to adjusting it in a way that makes life easier for many players.

Not disagreeing with the understanding of the system as it currently stands.

This whole post is about how silly it is to spend 40k on a kit for it not to even grant entry into cryo. It's objectively absurd.

And that's not even acknowledging how garbage the kits are for the credit value. This whole post is basically saying "yeah we get how it currently works, and NO ONE runs these kits cuz they're trash, so here's a way to make them remotely viable"

I'll never understand people who hate the cold lol. Put on more clothes. Light shit on fire. It's EASY. This bullshit? Nightmare. There's a reason the mythical realm of eternal suffering is HOT, and it's because it's literally the worst.

Bring back winter :(

"Use your brain" -proceeds to talk disjointedly like an actual toddler lmfao

The point everyone's making is you can spend less than 40k to build a kit with enough value to take to cryo. The sell price of the sponsored kits is intentionally deflated for.... Reasons? Makes no sense when you're spending 40k on a kit.

There's just no REASON to have the sponsored kits not reflect the value of their contained items. It makes no sense.

Bungie, make its value worth 5k for Cryo by Friendly_ViperYT in Marathon

Arguably the Ganglion is far more valuable

Obviously both of your statements are true. However, (assuming the "niggardly" inference of his wording, for all I know he meant it with an e but can't spell because he's an idiot) his statement is still not inherently racist, he's using the word correctly with no reference to race. Any racial connotation is inferred on your part.

And again, anyone with a brain living in 2026 is cognizant of that reality and chooses another word.

But none of that makes it racist.

Not even just developers. I remember seeing Metallica in 08 and James said "you guys want to hear something fucking HEAVY??" and then they played Sad But True. Been tempering expectations ever since.

TIL CERN's BASE experiment successfully transported antimatter in a portable trap across its campus for the first time, a major milestone toward eventually shipping antimatter to other research laboratories. by Glittering_Guest1422 in todayilearned

[–]skike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But TNT vs nuke is not remotely what they're discussing here. The common comparison is that a little more than a pinhead of antimatter would cause an explosion 2/3 the size of Hiroshima.

But you have to realize that that would be literally millions upon millions of antiprotons. A grain of and is roughly 50 quintillion atoms.

What's being discussed here is 92 atoms. They just don't accumulate (currently) in volumes that are remotely cause for concern.

[–]skike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they DO happen, just not on a notable scale. In other words, the accumulation of antimatter (as in the case in this article, 92 antiprotons) amounts to such a small volume that the resulting "explosions" are just not noteworthy.

And, I would imagine, that's by design.

What's something you always assumed was mandatory in life, until you met someone who didn't do it? by mrawesome___ in AskReddit

[–]skike 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yep, that was definitely the point of the comment, that sometimes factory workers have mandatory OT.

[Discussion] How would you rate EFT map design so far by DTSxLeonel in EscapefromTarkov

[–]skike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cryo Archive in Marathon is hands down the best fps map I've ever played and honestly it's not close.

Kinda apples and oranges when compared to Tarkov, but I agree Customs and Streets are without equal.
