So is this what they call “cyber bullying”?

The only kind I support.

I wish I could do this in real life. I’ve seen two in my city and they’re visually arresting.

Khanzarate,

Just spray them with a hose

That honestly is a very interesting subject for a beginners exam to criminal law

Thann,
@Thann@lemmy.ml avatar

unless they’re parked right next to your roses, I imagine it would be pretty easy to prove malice

Krzd,
@Krzd@lemmy.world avatar

But could it not be reasonably assumed that you were only attempting to annoy the owner and not cause harm?

No idea if that even makes a difference, would be funny tho

Delusional,

“It was ugly and dirty and I was just trying to wash it.”

Case dismissed.

I was trying to wash the ugly off

RidderSport,
@RidderSport@feddit.org avatar

Thats were it gets tricky in reality. But not necessarily in an exam that prioritises theoretical criminal knowledge

RidderSport,
@RidderSport@feddit.org avatar

Annoying some is thankfully not a criminal action.

RidderSport,
@RidderSport@feddit.org avatar

Yes prove intent, but depending on the legal system that might not be enough. Say I believe that spraying someone with sparkling water on the beach would kill you, that does not necessarily mean you attempted to take someones life. Similarly hurting someone in sports does not mean you assaulted them in a criminal sense.

Kiosade,

And they look like dumpsters from behind. Apparently raccoons have even scratched some trying to get inside, thinking they held delicious trash.

Cethin,

Sadly, they’re only expensive trash.

Kiosade,

Truth

Tikiporch,

The dude who owns the new Dunkin Donuts in town parked his out front with a Dunkin sticker on it. Totally a legit business expense.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Right in front of the Dunkin, huh? It would be terrible if people kept accidentally spilling their coffee, hot chocolate and the like on it considering you have to immediately scrape bird shit and dead bugs off of it when you get to where you’re going to avoid corrosion. (Really.)

But that’s like the entire game anyway… You mean to tell me you play a last man standing shooter and let people live?

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

I guess if it’s a situation where multiple enemies are in sight everyone would focus on the cybertruck so you’d be even more targeted than normal (I have no idea how to play Fortnite).

ladicius,

That’s exactly what will happen (that ugly nazi car is not yet available ingame).

variants,

I guess everyone will work in solidarity to kill the player who picked the cybertruck character, then once that’s done the remaining humanoids will just play like normal

Archelon,

Quoted in the article:

“i propose a new fortnite rule: if you see someone in a cybertruck, you are now in a truce with everyone else in the lobby until they’re taken out. this repeats as many times as necessary until everyone that bought this stupid thing is gone. normal gameplay proceeds.“

That is astronomically fucking funny

If only they could muster that sort of unity against all mxt and fomo.

rekorse,

Thats absolutely the kind of rule that gets crowd sourced and becomes real, real fast.

Rocket league has/had like a half dozen rules nearly everyone knows.

pyre,

almost makes me want to play Fortnite just to join, but that feels like added engagement because of Tesla so I won’t

You don’t buy it right? I didn’t check the store, but I saw its a reward from a quest.

intensely_human,

pathetic

echodot,

I’m so confused about what fortnite even is now. It used to be a game where you fought zombies, now I have no idea

thorbot,

It’s a game where you summon towers out of your ass and then get sniped by a 12 year old who fucked your mom

MagicShel, (edited )

I played that back when it was called Team Fortress.

Edit: I didn’t mean that to be dismissive of Fortnite or ignore the vast differences, just commenting on that particular description which perfectly matches playing an engineer in TF2 and I think TF, but that was a long time ago.

echodot,

So it’s CoD but with building mechanics

shasta,

Yes

Fedizen,

the zombies now look like cybertrucks

Trainguyrom,

My wife’s been playing a bunch of it and honestly best I can tell it’s an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with a easy-to-use game engine for beginners to make mini games in (similar to Roblox’s various games) with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing.

Which is kinda confusing given Epic also has Core which is also an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with easy-to-use game engine with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing

Oh and Fortnite has its official Battle Royale mode that’s largely a copy of PUBG

Doof,

You must have been confused for the passed 7 years then.

@radicalautonomy@lemmy.world avatar

Driving a Cybertruck in the game would be like being a child molestor in the penitentiary. Other inmates may have beef with one another and be ready to shank a mfer if they get froggy; but if a child molester joins the cell block, they team up on him first.

0x0, do games w Fortnite Players Band Together to Pick on In-Game Tesla Cybertrucks: 'Destroy on Sight' - IGN

This wouldn’t change how I play? I already destroy everything on sight (in Fortnite).

Ultraviolet,

The change is if you see one, there’s an implied truce between every non-Cybertruck-owner until they’re dead, then it’s back to a free for all.

merari42, do games w Fortnite Players Band Together to Pick on In-Game Tesla Cybertrucks: 'Destroy on Sight' - IGN

No idea how Fortnite works. But can you (realistically) use the Cybertruck to cut off your enemies fingers with it’s automatic doors.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Dunno. But it seems like its bulletproofing has been accurately translated into the game.

Deceptichum,

JerryRigsEverything 50cal vs Tesla.

echodot,

Not that that was a very useful comparison because I don’t think any car can survive being shot with a 50 cal that’s kind of the point of them. They kill vehicles.

RightHandOfIkaros,

“This car claims to be bulletproof, so to test it we are going to shoot it with this 40mm artillery canon at a distance of 10 feet.”

~ some YouTuber, probably

Kolanaki,

So it’s not very bulletproof at all?

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w Fortnite Players Band Together to Pick on In-Game Tesla Cybertrucks: 'Destroy on Sight' - IGN

I love this. Just like what happened with the gold skins in MechWarrior Online.

The “truck” has a terrible design, and often is incapable of completing basic tasks a truck is expected to do without great difficulty or some weird quirk.

My first live sighting of one of them I realized how god-awful ugly they really are. Even in some bronze/pewter terrible color. Or maybe it got left in the rain and that's just corrosion.

Voyajer,
@Voyajer@lemmy.world avatar

I forgot about that! Good times. They got team killed/crippled pretty often too.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Yes, it was funny when the entire game would stop just to focus on killing the gold skin user. Didn’t matter what team they were on, they became the collective target of everyone in the match. Good times, indeed.

CosmicTurtle0,

Is the Cybertruck even a truck? I don’t see the “truck” part.

I know very little about cars, and even less about trucks. When I think of a truck, I think of a bed in the back where you can haul stuff from Home Depot.

Where is the “truck” part?

BeigeAgenda,
@BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

It has a bed with a cover on, raccoons think it’s a dumpster and try and open it.

Starbuck,

Trucks with covers are a thing, it’s called a tonneau. What’s not normal is for them to be permanent.

_stranger_,

That’s not entirely true. The high end of aftermarket covers are electric, require the semi permanent installation of rails, wires, and the box, and are fairly cumbersome to remove. They’re not permanent in that they can be removed, but practically no one does this. Rivian’s truck has one built in as well. Most legacy manufacturers leave this to dealers to do as it’s an easy high profit accessory for them to upsell.

Starbuck,

Yeah, that’s I mean though, it’s optional and not a fundamental design of the truck.

_stranger_,

For legacy automaker pickups, that’s true. It’s a dream accessorie: a factory, waterproof, roll away, electric, secure tonneau that doesn’t eat bed space is a HUGE draw.

CheeseNoodle,

Someone on my discord posted the warranty terms and apparently it doesn’t cover unusual damage or useage such as exposrure to rain, sunlight or being used off a paved road. So no its not a truck, in fact it doesn’t even stand up as a car.

Trainguyrom,

I know very little about cars, and even less about trucks. When I think of a truck, I think of a bed in the back where you can haul stuff from Home Depot. Where is the “truck” part?

Generally if you get a truck and do truck things with it, there’s 2 specific things a truck will have that no other class has:

  1. A protected bed that you can put bulky and dirty/stinky items into for transport
  2. The ability to pull a large trailer

But hilariously your average crossover is fully capable of hauling an inexpensive trailer and a couple thousand pounds of whatever if not more than that, which covers 99.9% of the lifestyle arguments most pavement princes truck owners make for why they need a truck

Cethin,

Yeah, for sure trucks do not own pulling trailers, and they are fairly bad for cargo also. Truck fans will hate it, but a minivan can take care of both of those probably just as well, if not potentially better. The one use case is oversized cargo, which is almost never hauled by anyone. In the off chance you need that you can rent a truck or uhaul.

CosmicTurtle0,

I’m in the market for a truck and actually drew this same conclusion. Trucks are terrible in fuel efficiency and would likely not be my daily driver.

The main reason I want to buy (vs renting a truck or uhaul) is primarily availability. When I’m doing a weekend project, on more than one occasion I could not rent a truck because everyone else had the same idea.

Over the past year, I’ve rented the Home Depot truck four times, totaling about $400 which includes fuel and late fees. The main difference between renting a Home Depot truck vs a uhaul is that you don’t pay mileage. Renting the Uhaul once is about $200 with mileage and gas.

Uhuals can be reserved, but at that price point it’s not worth it.

XeroxCool,

If you’re a new homeowner and either have a lot to fix or a lot of projects in mind, a pickup is great. Daily driving it is useful for when you have to grab materials after work. I opted for an older $2000 Ranger 4cyl 2wd earlier this year for that so I’m not killed by fuel economy. It gets 20mpg on my commute but I do also split that with a 50mpg motorcycle. It’s also great for when you see random bulky things on the side of the road you want. I did start with a 4x8 trailer but it’s not as convenient. I admit, part of that was because my wife s car was the only one with a functional hitch.

But I’m talking a Ranger. Like an F-050. 115hp. This little guy has hauled so much already. The only thing it can’t technically do is tow a car and I don’t have the capital left to buy a nonrunning project car. I’ve been eyeing the new Maverick in hybrid form. But maybe by time I have the cash for such a new vehicle I won’t be doing reno projects anymore

Clasm,

I’m going to start calling them Tesla hatchbacks.

The first one felt chaotic and the portal system felt bad. Looks like they’re tackleing those two issues so I hope it turns out well.

Sanctus, do games w Splitgate 2 Re-announced With a Much Bigger Team and Bigger Dreams
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

The first one was really hard to look at. I’m not a “graphix makez thuh game” kinda person but that one was out there. Really the only thing that needed to be fixed was portal placement. I found they were way weird and unintuitive when all I really wanted was for them to work like Portal.

ampersandrew, do games w Splitgate 2 Re-announced With a Much Bigger Team and Bigger Dreams
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

“Splitgate was much more of an arena shooter, fast-paced, very circular motion,” Proulx adds. “With this next game, it’s much more of a class-based shooter or arcade shooter where it’s still fast-paced. It’s still about shooting people and portaling, but it’s a little bit more thoughtful, it’s a little bit more strategic. The angles are a little bit more intentional and less chaotic.”

Oh, cool. So they’re making it worse. Bad enough that they patched LAN out of the first game, they’re also patching out the gameplay reason I’d want to play it.

cmrn,

The entire reason I loved Splitgate was the simplicity and lack of classes…

Eyck_of_denesle,

That’s true but the simplicity didn’t help it maintain it’s player base so makes sense why they are going in this direction.

As a native english speaker this bothers me a lot. Adds no value but definitely causes confusion.
