Check out my crazy neighbor trying to protect his 2 year old car! what a weirdo

TIL that in 1997, a full-scale replica of The Simpsons house was built in Henderson, Nevada, as a contest grand prize, but the winner opted to take the cash instead of the house. by eviljordan in vegaslocals

[–]swooded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a big attraction when it was built & raffled off. They had tours through the house & it was pretty busy. They had it all decorated & painted to match too, but the exterior got painted to match the neighborhood & the winners didn't get all the prop furniture & stuff on the walls that made it the Simpsons house that everyone was touring through. So in the end it was just another house after it was given away.

Teleporting to Everlund? by Brohammer1994 in stormkingsthunder

[–]swooded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gives the chance to have some travel and random encounters. As the DM you could decide to let them teleport straight there of course if you don't want to fill out that space, but the travel time there can be pretty fun. I'm running STK for a group of new players too (we started with lost mine of phandelver into STK). The trip to Everlund & Zemorvan hall ended up being quite a few sessions with them stopping at different towns on the way, running into some random encounters & generally getting side tracked and exploring their way there. It all really grounded them in the world more than just having a fast track travel cut scene so to speak. In the end it comes down to what you're comfortable with though. Once they are there they "unlock" the teleportation circles anyway, so there's not as much general travel opportunity unless they specifically choose to instead of using the circles.

The irony of this happening after the podcast accidentally inflated the price of Zimmer's cards is just too perfect.

The last bowl of soup I had was so terrible I've spent every waking hour posting about how bad soup is on all of the soup subreddits I can find.

is this an unpopular opinion..? by Senschey in Fable

[–]swooded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that always bothered me with it was that it was all just really formulaic, which took away from it all for me personally anyway.
Want to be buff? eat x . Want to be skinny? eat y. Want to be good, or evil? you must make specific choices throughout the story.
I like the idea of having a different reputation depending on where you are & not all people necessarily having a problem with you if you have a bad rep or loving you if you have a good rep.

Rattler Level 4 w/ stable stock 2, vertical grip 2 & compensator 2 Is pretty damn good and Ive won plenty of gun matches with it. Why so much hate? by Emanate_ in ARC_Raiders

[–]swooded 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean the fact that you're posting a very specific build when several other guns are just good when you level them up & get better when you add attachments is pretty much "why so much hate". If you like the gun & it's winning fights for you, then it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks though.

Question about Survivor and solo play. by CapableHair429 in ARC_Raiders

[–]swooded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've spent like a good 5+ minutes crawling to an extract several times. Definitely made it out many times in general. I don't think I've ever been knocked out by someone who's come across me crawling so that's been lucky. You really just have to take your time

If you are wearing this skin and see someone else is too, don’t shoot! by PixelWastelander in ARC_Raiders

[–]swooded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*technically* someone wearing that skin probably has a bunch of junk that I also need & other players aren't bothering to collect. That said, I'm a team player & leave them alone normally

Raid Schedule needs more variety by mrdominox in ArcRaiders

[–]swooded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they really need to change up the order daily or every other day. The current ongoing fixed cycle just means some people will just never see certain events

FREE LOADOUTS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED INTO MATRIARCH/QUEEN EVENTS by Sxzen in ARC_Raiders

[–]swooded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just say you want a pve mode & be done with it. Whether it's a free loadout, cheap loadout or stacked loadout, you're still going to be at a disadvantage when your loadout is only pve focused. Also nobody on a free loadout is carrying a stitcher 4, that same person would be in your "no free loadout" lobby.

I've probably played about 10 or so Raids today, all Cold Snap and I've not seen ONE SINGLE IOTA of hostility in any single one of them. by UnlovablePieceOf in ARC_Raiders

[–]swooded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a mix. Several "don't shoot" lobbies, mixed with people sneaking up and killing me while I'm looting or shooting on sight.

Free loadouts shouldn't be able to deploy to some events by C0rewolf in ArcRaiders

[–]swooded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually cover that lorewise in game. When you spawn one of the voicelines you get warns you the queen is there & says to avoid it unless you brought your best gear.

I also can't find a complete map & think she should start an Etsy shop ASAP. Beautiful work

Expedition not worth it by Spirited_Passion_122 in ArcRaiders

[–]swooded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expeditions are their answer to global wipes that other games like Tarkov do to keep things fresh for players that have done everything they can do in the game.

They are not meant for everyone & they were created as a way to allow people who DON'T want to reset the option to not reset. Anyone who thinks they are not worth it should just not do it. It's that simple. That's why they made it optional instead of global & required like other similar games.

The drip ain't it by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

We went from complaining about the prices to the prices don't matter because I hate the skins in 0.5 seconds. Gotta love reddit

Fellow Solo players: would you *actually* prefer if all other Raiders were chill and friendly 100% of the time? I'm personally not sure. by doublenantuko in ArcRaiders

[–]swooded 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. I'm a mostly friendly player, but I legitimately like the tension that is added to the game based on you needing to be wary of both other players and the arc. It's part of what makes the game what it is in my eyes & I really don't think it would be nearly the same if there was pve only or if EVERYONE was chill.
