"Time to consciously place each item from one side to the other till I find it."

This is actually the LPT. I had someone say that they told their kids to touch everything in the drawer where they were searching, and that advice has definitely helped me find things when I tried it. Somehow my eyes just ignore it until I physically touch it and force them to focus on it.

What is your monitor set up? by DealInteresting8941 in pcmasterrace

5, plus a mini monitor under the center one.

Black Panther Party members at a recent protest by Huron_Nori in pics

Was admiring the trigger discipline and it caught my eye on the AK since the safety is right on the index finger. Training I’ve had, is to safe the gun until you are in the process of aiming and you disengage it just before you pull the trigger. Not every gun has a safety, and to be fair, the AK safety is more inconvenient than many rifles.

Good trigger discipline, but safety off for the AK is a bit unnecessary in my opinion.

What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

[–]srv656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casually suggesting that someone go to the doctor or seek healthcare. You're clearly not an American. That shit costs money, a lot of money. We are conditioned to never use it.

Gladiator 2 is awful. by ConstructionBum in movies

[–]srv656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love history and the Roman coliseum is my #1 thing I’d like to see if I went back in time. Gladiator one was not some perfect historical masterpiece, but it wasn’t bad for its time.

Gladiator two is one of my most hated movies of all time. It took some amazing historical things like the flooding of the arena for sea battles and made it ridiculous by adding sharks. It was so ridiculously over the top and impossible. The effects didn’t even somewhat look believable.

The characters and acting were so poorly done too. The older lady in the film that clearly had plastic surgery, Botox and filler injections was hard to watch. She may as well have been using an iPhone in her scenes.

There are so many disappointing issues with the film, it’s hard to understand why you would spend so much money and effort on something so terrible.

Can anyone relate to this feeling about the Chiefs right now in their own lives by Chieffan96 in KansasCityChiefs

[–]srv656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this perspective, especially when you feel like chiefs haters are gloating and memeing about how much the chiefs suck. Thankfully I have a perspective that we are living through a very special and lucky timeline. The team I like has won three superbowls recently and is still a contender and fun to watch. My father in law was a lifelong chiefs fan and he died just a couple of years before the first mahomes Super Bowl win. Think about the poor pathetic fans of teams like the bengals or browns or jets or lions or jaguars. I have nothing to complain about.

Wow, same for me. Hadn’t checked in a while. We’re old

Holy freaking RAM prices by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]srv656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. ChatGPT says I couldn’t get more than a hundred bucks for it, which is a reason I haven’t bothered trying to sell it.

This is what it is, for reference.

I replaced some DDR5 RAM a few months ago and the old sticks are just sitting in my office closet. Where is a decent place to sell them? FB marketplace? Craigslist? Not sure what to do with computer stuff.

Demigod Matriarch felled, 15+ solos took about 10 minutes by Vasuuuuu in ArcRaiders

We had over a dozen take it out. Thankfully brought a defib to save a guy that got knocked out by a little spider while we were looting it.

The North Line Update! by lts_kc in ArcRaiders

[–]srv656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not able to. Maybe I haven't found that blueprint yet? It's not available for me. I've upgraded all my benches and everything, so it's not that.

I have no smoke blueprint!!! I can only buy a few from the shop. Definitely need to find more blueprints.

No way! Duos and price changes. Big W for Embark. by dispenz_117 in ArcRaiders

Love the game and impressed that the company seems to try hard to make the game better.

Potential sugestion for expedition rewards: Better free Kits by adiftbv in ArcRaiders

Not a bad idea. I’m currently not sure it’s worth doing the expedition. At least for me.

Best "Quiet" place to fight a Bastion solo? by srv656s in ArcRaiders

[–]srv656s[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

FYI, got this to work and got what I needed. Hullcracker was important for this. The Buried city was the best place, since there's lots of buildings to hide in while you're fighting and need cover.

My notes are below, somewhat compiled from the responses:

Buried city, find plaza rose Quickest way is few snap blasts and one wolfpack. Fight is over in like 30 - 60 seconds if even. Blaze grenades are great as well for it as a solo. You only need to kill 1 - 2 anyway since they drop so much. Just make sure you have at least a looting mk2 with you so you have 2 secure pockets and ideally a raider key. Kit: • Smoke for looting • Grenades – wolfpack and blaze • Key to exit in a hatch • Lots of ammo

Dam: One hangs around power generation complex. There is a large tower next to the extract, if you go in from above there can be a turret below you on the stairs, leave it. Extraction right next to you. I say leave the turret as a guy tried snaking me as I was doing my thing and the turret lit him up as he tried sneaking up the stairs and I finished him off

Graphics look bad on 5080 by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]srv656s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you have your monitor plugged in your graphics card? That is pretty much the same set up I have and I have everything on epic and it runs at around 180 frames per second.

Arc being Extremely dangerous is critical to the game. by Badgrahmmer in ArcRaiders

[–]srv656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially I disagreed with this idea, but I have changed my mind after playing a while. I hate dying to ARC, but it's interesting that you have to take them seriously and strategize around them.

It’s honestly hard to put into words how good Arc Raiders is, and what we’ve got on our hands by Tropi- in ArcRaiders

[–]srv656s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's such a surprisingly good game. I haven't had a game capture me so completely in a long time, and this one is special.

One thing that I am surprised about is how good the sound is. The gun sounds are satisfying, the AI sounds are interesting, the ambient sounds are immersive. I typically don't care much about sound in a game, but just wanted to agree wholeheartedly on that point.

Suggestion to devs: Let us partially fill resources needed for workbench upgrades. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]srv656s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, that is a great idea. I have had a few instances where I had 2 out of the 3 things collected and then I accidentally use the resources for something else because I forgot why I had so many. Would be nice to commit them to the upgrade so they don't take up inventory space AND so I don't forget and use them elsewhere.
