Dual Sense, don’t do PTT. But I have an overlay so I know of background noise is popping up to mute or stop breathing so loud.

See, that was my take on it, but I have noticed a shift, somewhat recently. I check /popular every now and then just to see what’s happening around the internet, and they’d always pop up. It’s gotten distinctly more “accepting” of taxation and stuff. I literally thought this yesterday, like “am I crazy or has it flipped a bit”.

I wouldn’t quote me on sub narratives, my browsing is sporadic at best, but that’s what I’m remembering.

I very vaguely remember that lol,now that you mention it

Which is why I’m so regretfully enjoying it. It plays well despite being a Ubisoft game lol

I don’t get it. I modded one community with about 30k users, maybe 5% of which was active. The only thing I ever did for years was remove obvious reposts by bots and sticky weekly discussion threads. Communities normally police themselves decently well. Past a critical mass, I’m sure it gets a it harder but unless it’s a personal attack or completely unrelated, let people vote shit down.

I also don’t know why you’d want to be a mod of 45 subs with millions of users each. Shits shady AF.

As much as I hate to say it, Ubisoft has a really solid game on their hands. Some issue with netcode and I think the XIM/Cronus use is going to rise pretty quickly, but other games have dealt with it before. I’ve enjoyed the few hours I put in so far and will be playing it tonight with the boys. I’d like to see a classic TDM but hotshot works for now. Also a really cool take on the Kill Confirmed gametype

I love driving. HSR is still super nice, because the worst part about driving is long distance trips. Day trip to the hills to drive fun windy roads? Hell yeah. Trip across the US where I spend 9 hours a day driving straight in Kansas/Oklahoma/Texas? Awful. That section of argument never makes any sense to me. “I love driving. Nothing better than sitting in the right lane for 7 hours on a perfectly flat, straight road”. Morons lol

It’s much less of an issue now, likely due to anti-cheat and also the current bans in other countries so it’s not really spoken about much anymore. Honestly, if people wanna cheat, go for it, especially in a game like this. There is a bit of worry about effecting major orders an inordinate amount, but even then, it would probably be a small amount.

Because it’s group rewards. That person gets 2k super samples, you also get 2k super samples. It, by definition, ruins progression for others.

Might not have been clear in initial comment; on launch, people were joining open groups and cheaters were spoofing the rewards. So when a mission completed, you got a bunch of mats and stuff and your account was basically bricked for “progression” unless AH did a manual rollback.

People have cheated in the samples and req slips and such and ruined progression for others. It’s not the same as competition cheating, but the “point” of the game is the grind, and some lost out on it. I think AH rolled back most of the effected accounts though, but it’s a little deeper than just no PvP = cheats sorta fine

Absolutely. I like the NFL, but it’s a team I have no affiliation with besides I like the team. I went to my college, I had classes with the players, and spent 4 years of my life “in” the organization, and a few more living in the town. It’s not even close for me. If my NFL team is playing, I’ll second screen it and it’ll be on mute for my CFB team.

We had 3 of us on level 7 bots dropping them and we maybe hit 80? Granted, we aren’t elite with placement, but when the enemies is engulfed in the fireball and then they walk through it, something is up. I think there are issues with elevation too, if they are too low or too high, it just won’t hit, and Marfark is too hilly to be consistent.

Yep. It’s kinda eerie, we always just assume it was cause we cleared the fabricators or holes and patrol spawns just were in our favor.

Yeah, last night during US prime time, it was barely 100k. Huuuuge fall-off from peak numbers, but those are pretty low given the general commercial success of the game.

Sony may single handedly kill this game off.

It already is. Easy PIP, everything in one place. Some streams cut commercials out. I very rarely pay for sports coverage anymore.

Something something cancel culture.

When in reality, we shouldn’t have to share space with this dude. A half hearted apology, 0 self-reflection and 0 real shame or change based on his 1930s take on what life for women is like.

I wouldn’t be comfortable crowning anyone outside of Bama/UGA/Michigan. Transfers have made it way harder as a casual fan to keep up with other teams year-to-year. A team that was good and up-and-coming last year could be decimated by transfers over a single year, and I just don’t have the time to keep up with it.

At the very least, communication is good and they seem to consider community input, even if they initially go against it, and will admit when they’re wrong. It may be a low bar, but the candidness with how they communicate gives me hope.

For as much flack as the game is getting because of Sony, it’s been really easy to like Arrowhead in general. Not everyone will be happy with changes to any game, but they’re decently open with what they’re doing and the intent behind it, and are willing to say when they may have introduced a bug and revert changes back.

Now if only Sony would stop being Sony…

They’ve kinda been cranking out patches lately, and it’s not like the content isn’t already there. The drops are a little quick for me tho, I haven’t finished any of them yet, and I didn’t get the second one at all.
