@keaaaaley It’s 13.5ml of ethanol per 100ml of total volume. Whether this is click bait or not, the lack of knowledge in the comments is staggering. So if you drink a 50ml shot, you only consume 6.75ml of ethanol (alcohol).

@NUCLRGOLF Many factors, but one could be the pressure they feel being back on PGA turf on a social level.

What do you think went wrong?

Support Starlink in Namibia!
Lauren Dreyer@LaurenDreyer
If you want to see @Starlink in Namibia, please email licensing@cran.na and voice your support for Government Gazette 8795, Notice 897 before Dec 12. Namibia is at a pivotal moment in its digital future. The country ranks 149th out of 156 countries globally in median download speed and fixed internet penetration rates are below 5%.

Lmao they postponed the game an entire year so they could add a bunch of gay shit to the game

Rumor say GTA VI will feature Pride parades and expanded LGBTQ+ representation, bringing more inclusive stories and characters into the franchise.

I’m 99% sure there’s gear based matchmaking in Arc Raiders
Not that it’s a bad thing. But if you’re running a decently nice kit (40-50k) you will never see free kits in your game
Although there may be an exception in night modes
It’s a good thing for newer or less geared players though, helps them not get stomped all the time by maxed out top tier guns

@therooster I don't hate the idea but it would definitely create less incentive for the prestige system to be used

📣 WIPES in ARC Raiders
Design Director explained progression wipes (what the team calls the Expedition Project).
Mandatory wipes are not planned, but the game will include a voluntary reset mechanic through this system.
Here’s a breakdown:
🔥 EXPEDITION PROJECT
- Becomes available at level 20.
- Operates on a repeating 8-week cycle.
- Players contribute over time; the finalization window opens in the 8th week.
- Progress carries over if not completed in time.
- Additional Projects may be introduced during updates, holidays, and events.
❓ What Is Kept vs. Lost
- Lost: Character-specific progress such as levels, skills, items, workshop, crafting.
- Kept: Cosmetics (earned or purchased), awards, achievements, rankings, and any metagame or real-money content.
- Convenience: After a reset, onboarding/tutorial steps are skipped, giving quicker access to early features and maps.
💰 Benefits & Incentives
- Permanent account unlocks for each completed Expedition.
- Unique cosmetics as rewards.
- Account buffs for the following cycle (buffs grow with sequential completions, capped at a limit).
- Rewards are designed to avoid combat or power advantages—focused on cosmetics, bragging rights, and quality-of-life improvements.
🎯 Goals & Philosophy
- Engaged players: Can regularly start fresh while gaining benefits.
- Casual players: Progress is never reset without consent.
- Aims to be more equitable than a global mandatory reset, valuing player time investment.
- Subject to change pre- and post-launch, with ongoing community feedback.

@JossIsTweeting @therooster @EmbarkStudios @ARCRaidersGame Valid concern, keep in mind Embark never announced regional pricing.
English

@BJbarend @therooster @EmbarkStudios @ARCRaidersGame Regional pricing isn’t just exchange rate, it factors in spending disparity. That’s why $60–$70 games overseas are ~R800–R900 here, not R1.1k+. Without it, SA players end up paying way more relative to income.
So when they announced $40, I thought we’d be getting it for R400-500
English

Hey @EmbarkStudios,
I understand if you guys don’t want to do regional pricing for @ARCRaidersGame as $40 is already fair.
But we have a problem.
In many countries the game costs more than the base price.
I hope you address this and let us know if it’ll be resolved soon.
That way, we won’t need to send mass emails. I’m sure you’re already busy enough.

@JossIsTweeting @therooster @EmbarkStudios @ARCRaidersGame Boet $40 is R700 with the current exchange, askuus hoor
English

@therooster @EmbarkStudios @ARCRaidersGame Thank you for bringing this to attention Scrappy!
As a South African player, I was very excited to hear the $40 price tag, thought it would translate to R400-R500.
But turns out the game is AAA price here, I’d still get it, but it’s gonna be hard to sell my friends now…
