They brought it from 8 to 6 from what I remember, and it was a godsend in closing bug holes without an explosive support weapon. 6 isn't great but they also upped the resupply amount which was the real downside of the grenade pistol.

When I said not exactly new I was trying to refer to gmod surrealism memes but I didn't find the words yet. I was under the impression that skibidi toilet was at least a few years old but I guess not.

I try to give paper wasps a pass if I randomly see them, but if they come inside or start a nest in outdoor equipment, they're gone. They only get consideration because they're pollinators and generally not aggressive, but they still will attack so my patience is thin.

Looks like their entire life is fucking and then dying immediately after. Aight, they can have a pass. Mainly because I'll never see one in my life.

To them you are a giant who can easily kill them
And I relish in proving them right. Fuck wasps and fuck your wasp propaganda.
I've given bees snacks when they're tuckered out on a hot day. I've let them rest on me. But with wasps and hornets it's on sight.

I've heard they tend to feel more comfortable with you if you ignore them, and people who don't like cats ignore them. Try saying "hi kitty!" and trying to pet them while making eye contact as soon as you meet them and hopefully they'll stay away. Results may vary.

It's a millennial meme. Gmod edits have been around for years and years. Gen alpha unearthing and worshipping it because they don't understand is weird but not exactly new.

So I was going for headshots for a while, but then I took one out with a single wild hipfire AMR shot to the stomach. I thought "aha! That must be the weak spot!" and I've been going for it ever since.

I think her deal is being outrageous, and the republican party has been pretty outrageous as of late, meaning she's nothing special anymore. So, she's just doing whatever gets attention now.
Edit: read the article. She's giving the whole game away. She must be MAD.

Tell him to swing his foot down at an angle from the front of the bastard. They jump very quickly, but nearly always forward. If you do it right, they'll jump right into your foot and get smashed. Also if you miss, they take about a second to re-situate their wings before they're ready to jump again. If you're fast you can smash em then.

That's kind of the point, isn't it? If you want to kill every palastinian but only say you want to wipe out hamas, then isn't it best for your plan if every palastinian joins hamas?
We already have a demonstration of how well a 20 year occupation stamps out radical organizations. All Israel needs to do is what they're currently doing and eventually there simply won't be any Palestinians left.

Sometimes I hear an m, sometimes an n. Not gonna shit on you. BUT he doesn't say migr- as if he's going to say migrants with the short I like he claims he did, he says -IGGER. You have to simultaneously fuck up two different ways to say it that way. It would be mig-rants, not migger-ants.

Been out of the game for a bit but I thought airburst was pretty solid for its niche?
So I've been on the engineering grind. Basically running around doing what I can, adding things to a list when I hit any snags. Yesterday I got an invitation from Lei Cheung who I need to finish out my shield generator. He wanted me to trade in 50 markets. I had 20something out of 50, so I put it on the list for later. In my reviews of what I needed today, he is totally unlocked. I did not do any significant trading in the meantime, and I most certainly did NOT give him 200 gold. I'm not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, but what the heck? This is also not the first time this has happened with engineers.
Deploy the jaegers!
Carrots are NOT doing great. May have failed to thin enough. On the plus side, beans are THRIVING. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/daadef7a-5bba-4dac-a7e5-77e7540b86a0.jpeg)
First garden project so we didn't know quite what to expect; thinking we should have given them a little more space. They've completely grown over the basil and in the past 2 days shot out of the netting. It's exciting they're doing so well though.

You know the ones. Old faithful, when you aren't feeling spicy and just want to spread managed democracy as hard as you can. **Bugs** * Incendiary breaker: great impact damage, burns. Kills everything below a charger easily. Perfect for sweeping across waves of chaff and letting them burn. * Grenade pistol: perfect for closing bug holes alone and from a distance. * Incendiary impact grenades: closes bug holes, area denial for chaff, good damage against bigger bugs. * Light armor with + grenades: speed is important for kiting, and can never have too many incendiary grenades against bugs. * Orbital gas strike: shuts down breaches, low CD, simple as. Used to stan orbital airburst but it doesn't last as long as the breach. * Orbital railcannon: sometimes you need a charger dead now. This will do the trick. * Shield pack: protects from incidental damage and slows from hunters and stalkers. Lets me gamble a bit more on letting bugs burn to death and conserving ammo. * EAT: slaps everything, low enough CD to stockpile or share. Combined with the orbital rail, you can handle a lot of heavies at once. Criticisms of my own build: The shield is kind of a crutch, but it really comes in handy when running light armor, saving your ass from incidental stunlock deaths and getting wrecked by an unseen charger. Also saves from friendly fire, especially rovers and turrets. I recently switched from mining orbital airburst to gas for breaches, but I do think airburst is much easier to use for cleaning up massive waves. The incendiary breaker is one of the easiest weapons to team kill with due to the fire and insane spread it has. Running it alongside the grenade pistol basically means I am unable to support allies from a distance without being very likely to murder them. This is very much a "do everything yourself" build and not a team oriented one. I switch it up with friends in comms, but randos get this build. **Bots** * Scorcher: Hits hard, pens medium, explodes. Takes out devastators and walkers alike. * Redeemer/verdict: Both delightful, depends how I'm feeling. Definitely necessary to run something with high damage output because the scorcher has a small magazine. * Impact grenade: Tricky to use on fabricators, but takes down walkers and group chaff like a charm. * Medium armor with explosion resistance: keeps mobiity while preventing you from getting wrecked by a stray rocket. * Eagle airstrike: Hands down favorite strategem on bots. Hits multiple fabricators, takes out tanks, heavy patrols, can do decent damage to a factory strider if hit right. * Autocannon: Should need no explanation but I will anyway. Kills fabricators from a distance, 2 shots devastators, cripples hulks, kills static guns/mortars, basically does everything. If there's already 2 acs in a group, I'll run the spear instead for more direct murdering of hulks and striders. * Eagle cluster bomb: Big wave clear. The last slot is flexible. On lower difficulties I might run orbital gas because it can actually kill fabricators as long as the strategem is on top of or touching the building, and the gas will wipe out a small factory easily. Airburst might do the same but it just occurred to me that I have no idea if it destroys fabricators. On higher difficulties I might take orbital rail, especially if I'm running autocannon because sometimes those hulk face shots are hard to hit. Criticism: I should probably run stun grenades over impact to deal with hulks, but the instant results of the impact are great. If I have to reload facing down devastators or walkers, impacts clean up quick. This build is more tuned towards larger enemies. The bug build has the advantage of the incendiary breaker being a glorious wave clear weapon, while the scorcher is single target and very low ammo. The eagle cluster sort of helps there, but I rely on secondary weapons fairly often. Feel free to share your builds, suggestions, and criticisms. I will die on several of these hills.
Crushing gravity isn't that big a deal, once you get used to it. So the game lets you finish mission sets even if the planet is liberated (or destroyed, I guess) so I was able to visit Meridia and dive again even though the planet is gone.

Not sure if this is a connect problem or catbox problem, but often when clicking an image hosted on catbox, it'll flash the low res then show a broken image picture when it tries to load the high res version. Unrelated issue but I've also noticed that occasionally when turning the screen on while viewing an external link in-app, the app will crash.

I played ages ago and got scared off by the learning curve, but a friend recently got me back in. The problem is that this friend has a "speedrun" mindset and wants me to get end-game ASAP. To illustrate, thus far I have outfitted my starter ship with cargo racks, did some runs, bought a type 6, did a shitload more runs, bought an anaconda, slapped cargo racks on the conda, did more runs, and recently limpet farmed resources. Next on the agenda is unlocking a bunch of engineers to engineer my ship bits (and also farm another 450 mil somewhere in there). I'm about 50 hours deep and I barely know how to play. I recently learned how to change route settings to avoid stopping at every fuel star along the route. I've done 2 bounties in a fighter I threw together when I was bored of trading. The game is massive and I feel like I've missed out on a ton. I'm big on learning _how_ a game ticks before trying to powergame/minmax/etc. I guess my question is this: in my rush to the end game, have I missed anything that's important to do or learn?
