Like Russ and Rebecca, from Chums?

Marauders is fun! Solid gameplay loop. It is more basic than Tarkov in a mechanical sense, but this means it's easier to convince your friends to play and easier to jump in and out of. It's still a more tactical and methodical shooter than a lot of what you find in the mainstream. There is also a pretty unique space flight mechanic as part of the raiding process that the devs are still working on.

I've gotten my money's worth for sure. I think I'm around 130 hours played so far, and I could see myself putting in at least twice that as development continues. More if my friends keep at it too.

How do you figure?

Single player social media, perfect.

This has to be a joke. Reminds me of getting a handful of nugs from my dealer in high school, pre-legalization, because he ran out of bags. Or a cigarette wrapper that was burnt shut to hold a dime bag.

Weird how actual slavery was "no big deal" but paying taxes is the worst thing ever because it's tantamount to slavery and theft.

I'll also say fuck Asurion. They seemingly bricked my phone during a routine repair. Obviously they came up with a flimsy excuse for why it wasn't their fault, but regardless I ended up walking out with a paperweight instead of a screen damaged but otherwise fully functional device. Would've been better off not seeking their service.

Yep, I bought a Brother laser printer for $120 a few years ago. I don't use it super often, but it's been reliable and easy to use whenever I need it. I've never had to replace the toner. It just works.

 

I mean, yeah? I don't use a wash cloth anymore, I use a different kind of scrubber that dries out quickly, but when I used a wash cloth I just used a different one every day. Marginal impact on my laundry and a pack at Target was cheap. Every day I could wash my face with a clean cloth and then wash the rest of my body.

Incredible. What's the context for when this was offered as advice?

I see you do not understand that by "down," I am speaking historically and not arbitrarily "in the last three years." The graph with #5 goes back to 1993. The downward trend is clear. I'm not sure if you're being pedantic or deliberately obtuse.

Besides which, the claim of "insane violent crime rates" is your contention, and you have provided no definition or source for this notion.

I don't feel the need to keep engaging with you on this subject. You seem to take pride in missing the forest for the trees. Have a nice night.
