I too was infantry. And muscle memory doesn’t necessarily mean always being engaged to the process, it means being able to return to the necessary posture when needed.
It wasn’t uncommon for us to rest our hands on our rifles too when we didn’t need to be actively engaged in the current situation in any hostile fashion.
Now if we could cleanse the junk and joke guides as well somehow…
These guys aren’t in some kind of parade or ceremonial display, nor do they appear to be at a guard post.
They’re just soldiers standing by. In that situation there’s no need for a uniform display to impress anyone. Keeping soldiers at drill precision 100% all thetime is a good way to fatigue soldiers who don’t need to be perfect quickly.
Besides which, all of them have a hand near their trigger guards and most have hands resting on the barrel of their weapons so are reasonably prepared if someone does try something.
The navy manual for troubleshooting equipment in the field includes “lift 3-6 inches and drop”
I think the difference is that helldivers 2 never required me to log into anything except my steam account to play until only recently.
Just be cause the game says it may require it, but it’s not enforces from day 1, doesn’t change that feeling of having the rug pulled.
People don’t have a problem with needing an account, they have a problem with suddenly needing to have an account if they purchased and played it without one.
I have many negative options of this show. Ultimately, while Lucy was…okay… Norm and chet had my favorite dynamic and didn’t act like complete morons most of the time.
They seemed to have set out with the intention of making the BoS a slapstick comedy rayher than a serious player consisting of intelligent humans. Especially Knight Titus and Maximus felt like horribly written characters.
I understand them going for humor but… I feel the slapstick nature of it really took away my enjoyment of it.
While fallout has had humor in it, I felt it was backseat to the actual atmosphere of its story of surviving the wasteland. In the series, slapstick seems to be all it is.
Also I don’t understand why they added the thing about ghouls.
Same, largely. I love the look and feel of everything but…
I dunno. I just struggle to remain engaged in it. And I can’t decide on a char build either for some reason.
My friend group all said they stopped at the part where you rescue a certain somebody from a BD den, too. Which they said it just felt meh.
I’m slowly trying to force myself through it.
Personally, I’d like to see a bit more adjustment in ship abilities.
It feels like they’ve got active abilities on every ship you have to press to get them using their full potential. Even if they have adjusted the length and timer of the cool down, It doesn’t feel very good to me that way.
Red alert 3 kinda killed me because every unit had an alternate mode or active ability I had to use and target on enemies. If you weren’t constantly toggling abilities on all units or making use of these targeted abilities you were going to get rolled.
I’m hoping we can move some of these abilities over into researchable passives. It feels like adding all these activatables is ment to increase the skill ceiling for competitive gaming, which I can also see how that may be beneficial.
I can see them replacing artists to Ai generate art assets like in-game posters, promotive material, concept art… AI will have its uses, but I see them using it to fire the low hanging fruit like artists.
One game already replaced the voice actors for AI except when they needed a character to grunt. It’s all downhill from here for a bit.
My only gripe with solo is that I preferred the EU version of his backstop. More in the imperial pilot thing.
But I had already accepted that there would be new canon.
Star Wars was always my favorite sci fi universe for so long…
Now with what Filoni and Disney has done with it, i just dunno any more. I feel lost. I loved Andor and Rogue One though, but apparently they aren’t the most popular?
I always get excited when I see a new CnC tiberian sun trailer has dropped… but I should know better…
But you’ve gotten a good story out of it to tell later down the line.
What ultimately annoyed me were a lot of small things adding up quickly. Or maybe small things.
Like quest and story writing across the board was just bland and bad in my opinion. I’m not a huge fan of multiverses as well either but that ones majorly subjective to people.
But things like the story between the UC and FC; who would agree to lock themselves to a few settled worlds in that much untamed space? And FC being cowboys of all things, really? I generally agree with story issues pointed out by people like PatricianTV and a few other youtubers who wrote essays on the issue of the story and setting.
Stories like the ancient generation ship had me super intrigued in the trailers but in gameplay it was just dull and empty. I could have seen a thousand ways that story could have been enhanced but they went with 3 options noone felt strongly for.
Quests across the board felt that way, just… missed potential and empty writing.
Weapon design was also… strange. They sounded like guns, sure. But they took a huge step back from the fo4/76 weapon design process that felt great. Modifying receivers to keep a gun current felt good in those two games but they decided on fixed damage values for tiers? And the designs of the guns themselves was strange. Some of them could not realistically move a bullet from their magazine to the receivers. Even in a scifi setting at least try to make a grounded design first, then add from there.
I also have the little heated traps for them too.
Don’t think ya read the prompt.
A wave of them swept through my old apartment once almost six years ago. I still freak out at the smallest itch or bump.
Those bastards cause serious trauma
Copy/pasting my response from elsewhere here, sorry.
Sorry, I should have said recovery scam, I guess. They come up and ask if you can help them get access to their google account because they got locked out and [insert excuse why they cant get the code]. They ask you to put in your email so a recovery code for their account goes to you and would you please give them the code so they can get into their account. But its actually your account.
I’m actually not 100% sure how this works, but it’s like the Steam access code scam.
Since most people use the same email for everything, they can gain access to services through password resets after they lock you out of your own account.
Systemic racism in the US ment an inproportionate number of drafted service personnel were black as white draftees were able to get college deferments in higher numbers.
This boiled back down to the poorer economic situation of black peoples in the Civil rights era fighting for basic equality.
The draft also caused friction that increased fraggings as this racist treatment by educated white officers or NCOs were dealt with locally. Fragging was furthered by a disconnect between draftees who wanted to just survive and glory hounds who saw military service and War as some great adventure.
