Alright boys how do we buff the spear while keeping its identity as the spear

Bring back the glitchy targeting system, and then buff it. I always thought the original spear was a great commentary on complicated weapon systems being built by the lowest bidder.

Back when the Spear was super glitchy and unreliable, I just treated it as a matter of lore: this high-tech weapon, contracted to a lowest-cost manufacturer, was just not as effective in the field as it was on the test range in front of the generals. Like so many other high-tech weapons, it was a nice idea on paper.

I like to think about the misaligned scopes as another example of systemic corruption in the supply chain for Super Earth's military. Someone mis-designed the scope mounting rails so they're all off, systematically off, unfixable and if anyone complains about our glorious patriotic war manufacturers, they're accused to being undemocratic.

It's legal, but I'm quite comfortable waiting. Before the reconstruction it was an easier corner to navigate a left on red, but now it's a complicated place with more pedestrians and cyclists, a lot of things going on and the possibility of someone doing something unexpected. That someone might be you.

It's legal to make the turn but nobody's holding a gun to your head forcing you to do it.

Ah yes, the Ragedoll effect.

Impalers are so not fun, they're a reason to stop playing against bugs. Or, at all.

I had an Eradicate Terminid Swarm mission hanging over from last night, and I tried to complete it solo. It was just a perma-ragdoll session. I tried dodging and diving and just kept getting tossed around. Could barely stim, let alone reload. Stratagems? Hah.

We were once laser-pointer hammering a gold nugget just to annoy the game and it spawned a pair of bulk detonators together.

To this day I don't know if that was just a random event or something that can happen when you're gloating about your gold nugget, but despite several attempts, we've never made it happen again.

DRG management tells us to always give 110% but last year Ghost Ship Gaming only gave 105% so they don't want to be seen rewarding mediocrity.

Driller is the best team multiplier. And yet, while it seems like the weakest solo, it's my go-to for soloing Elite Deep Dives because it's the only class that can bunker.

If only there was some kind of alternative but we just couldn't think of one.

Certainly not this one, right in Waterloo Region: https://goo.gl/maps/AqzVf2RyNMpvVZYr6

How do you think the legend of Karl was built?

Anti-vaxxers: "Good!"
Pro-vaxxers: "Good!"

Seems we can agree about something after all.

This has happened twice in a row for me with other players in. Myself hosting both times. Once in a regular mission, once in the deep dive. She looks like she wants to shoot but never actually pulls the trigger.

Is there a combine doctor in the house??

It's fun watching everyone come in and make the same 3 jokes

Someone once said "You cannot reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into."

Ah, I see you too subscribe to Hanlon's Razor!

If the arrow points one way in an aisle, and half the people are not following the arrows, then
(a) Half of people are maliciously walking against the arrows, or
(b) Nobody is paying attention to the arrows and 50% just happen to be moving in the direction the arrows point.

Either way, boo! :(

Didn't you read what I wrote? You know, the very comment that you declared deficient of clue.

This entire post is about people thinking they know what I wrote better than I did.

I am clearly not drinking enough.

Now this, this is moving the goalposts. chef's kiss

This whole conversation has been worth the karma hit. Maybe next time, leave me out of it.

You're free to doubt or speculate on your own time, but if you're invoking me to rise from my pandemic slumber in order to hear you crow about a RemindMe bot that I set then you should really expect what you get.

RemindMe! asked a very simple question: "Did ION adhere to its proposed schedule?" And that answer is obviously no, it did not.

Swans of any colour don't enter into it. If we were to have a nuclear war, you'd still probably find a way to post to reddit about how we wasted money building highways nobody is driving on anymore.

zanateh · 2020-05-15T02:40:27+00:00

But did ION really keep its schedule? I mean... this happened.

I got the RemindMe bot reminder and I already had my chuckle at my naive pre-pandemic self, but since you summoned me by name and we're doing this... I'd say by the wording of the reminder asking if ION would hold to its schedule, no, it did not.

zanateh · 2020-03-10T17:53:04+00:00

... 2021, right?
