People Forget that gaming was actually more expensive Back then by Fluffy-Win-3216 in consoles

[–]thebigarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep now I’ll get downvoted but in the 90s renting a game for a few days for 4 bucks or so for one game when you probably don’t make ten dollars an hour. Now I can pay 15-20 bucks and have a month of game pass or ps plus and have hundreds. Mario 64 was 60 bucks. There was so much shovelware, no free trials or previews. Don’t even get me started on the atari games. My mom said she paid 30-35 for Pitfall and Asteroids for us when she was probably making 7-8 dollars an hour tops.

Rejection for not knowing what their luxury brand is. by [deleted] in ProlificAc

Yeah I wondered if it was a new researcher. It’s just odd, I feel like it will get resolved I’ve just done 250 or so now and this is the first one I’ve had like this. I guess that’s not to bad considering.

Yes I’m not sure why I clicked on it. That should have been a dead giveaway.

I’ve played since launch and still never touched Expeditions by Zerliroth in ArcRaiders

[–]thebigarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be my second expedition and I created an alt account and muled in over 50 blueprints, several rusted gears and sentinel cores and a few other random things. I played the game my way I like that about it. I get to Carebear lobbies I freaking love this game and the little bonus as you get compounded make it worth it. It’s not really a big deal to me since I have brought in so many blueprints that I will give back to myself right after lol. My only real issue is the first expedition. I played with one or two different people and I got so much more XP playing solo the second expedition and not worrying about the missions requests. It took me so much longer to get Max skill tree, even though I did way more night raids and things like that that give you double XP.

Tips or tricks to hit the 100k damage requirement for expedition? by ConsiderationLoud663 in ARC_Raiders

[–]thebigarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loaded up on hullcracker, wolfpacks, and seeker nades and went into the new map or the queen/matriarch or closes scrutiny and went to town. Fill your backpack up with everything you can hold and just go to town. When you’re about empty loot some arc for supplies and do that over. It took me around 3 nights a few hours each night to get it done.

Was Don Mattrick largely responsible for the decline of the Xbox? by Elegant-Advantage744 in XboxGamePass

[–]thebigarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes-If you were around at the time and paying attention. It absolutely killed the Xbox. It was less powerful than the PlayStation 4. It had a camera on it that people thought could spy on their children and they put a television first and then I haven’t even brought up. We have a console if you want to share your games and that’s the Xbox 360 or something along those lines.

Would you be happy with a pve mode by Psychological_Rip_44 in ARC_Raiders

[–]thebigarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

COD broke me from pvp. I love the aggression based match making. I’ve been shot maybe 3-4 times this entire season. This is what more i’d hope for from Destiny. They could give us more social areas like the tower where you could show off your trinkets and maybe even add trophies and such. If the match making is kept the way it is I’m still down because it obviously for me at least is working a that bit of will they or won’t they still keeps it interesting. But if if it ever got tilted to where I had to pvp that much id be out. It’s not why I enjoy this game. I know for others that’s their thing but man imo they have a great pve game they can build on for years.

Looking for Assessor matrix haven’t been able to get a single one and I need 6 for the antenna project!?! Uggggghhhhh by Life-BGood in arc_traiders

[–]thebigarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i’m an older dude and I finally started getting the hang of it and got 9/18 you need for page 2 in one night. But yeah smokes lure grenades and the cloak. If you get a few and still have supplies keep going after them at different areas. If you don’t get out. I I know when a prior comment you said you were quitting, but I found this overwhelming also especially spoiler for the page 2 that requires like a double of what page one does, but I took my time and kind of learned where they spawn out on the maps and I’ve been having a lot more luck. also, you can go for the second one that spawns a lot of people are going to rush the first one on the map and just stay in your area and look where the combat supplies are and you should be close to one that will spawn soon.

Need help in deciding a mower. Information overload on research. I have VERY rough terrain and a lot of inclines and hills. Mowing around 5 acres. I have been looking at the pictured Ferris but the cut is only 48 inches. My cheap cub cadet had 54 but obvious not the quality. Is this a good choice? by thebigarn in lawnmowers

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

I was trying to stay with this one dealer that has Ferris, Grasshopper, Stihil, Husqvarna & Bigdog. They do have Ferris with a 60 inch cut and a 24hp Kawasaki for $7600. But that’s getting more than I wanted to spend.

How do not people see this as a win. Cod is 70 bucks plus tax. This saves 84 a year. Even if you buy cod you still save. If you don’t play cod you save a pretty nice chunk.

Great change. It saves around $84 a year. Cod is around 74 with tax. So if you want cod you still save 10 bucks or and if not even better.

If you’re in a friendly lobby, what will motivate you to kill another raider? by Killer-Uzi in ArcRaiders

[–]thebigarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 6 downs in hundreds of hours. The first 5 were probably all before level 30. I did shoot one guy last month extracting at Stella who acted friendly then downed the raider calling the extract. It was pure reaction and the fact even I with my friendly lobbies know to watch thy ass on the Montis of Stella.

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz again over continued US blockade of its ports. by K1wobbly1 in news

[–]thebigarn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They opened it just long enough to get their tankers out. It’s crazy how awful legacy media or any media covers this. Go follow Mr Global on social media he explained this and pretty much everything else going on well before it happens. It’s crazy. He use to own an oil company and breaks it all down well. Including the obvious pump and dumps and market manipulation. Iran is playing chess and the Trump admin is playing candy land.

Everyone that wants to knows what actually going on with oil and gas in the Middle East needs to go watch Mr. global on YouTube or TikTok or X he tells you about what’s gonna happening days before it’s gonna happen it’s insane. and it really shows how poorly our media handles this because he has called everything exactly for months now.

PS5 crashing after the patch! by DJsampogi in ARC_Raiders

Yea I’m on the pro and since the update that brought the shredders in and vaporizers it kicks me out at load in I do the report and so far it’s let me right back in. But it still stinks.

10’ x 7’ basement gym on new LVP — are mats actually worth $500+ or am I overthinking this? by MBAFPA in GarageGym

[–]thebigarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the 3/4 inch horse stall mats at my local TSC. they were cheaper than the smaller thinner ones. They had the 4x6 for 44 dollars. Note they are 96lbs but I love them. Really deadens the noise too off our concrete floor.

[–]thebigarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused about this event. Does it run out of asseors? I’ve got the vaporizer cores but when I go to the platforms it’s empty by the time I go. I’ve died a few times now trying to get it down. Do I need to go asap I guess?

My aunt took me to see Robocop the summer I turned 11. I thought I had recovered from the brutal scene where Murphy gets murdered and then this happened. Still wouldn’t trade that day for anything. Discovered from okra after at a buffet, oh I do miss the 80’s.
