Genuine question on a restaurant situation:
You walk up to a counter to order.
You find your own table and seat yourself.
If you order coffee, they hand you a cup and you go fill it up yourself.
If you order food, they hand you a buzzer and when it goes off, you go pick it up yourself.
The iPad has a “20%, 25%, 30%, Other” tip option, with 20% already preselected.
What’s your move?

To add to this, I got killed directly off spawn by Reshala's dudes doing the transit from Reserve to Customs...
Went to do Reserve marked room with the key I'd found - survived Customs, survived Reserve and did the transit back to Customs (to extract there later), but no dice
Axel@axel__tv
Transits are broken AF, few teams can spawn in the same spawn lol. this is so gg

@CubanEspresso @Gigabeef @ogdmit You don't get one in your starting gear. You have to find one and then put it in the prison wallet

@Twenty6TV @tarkov Deadly slob rule set. Pest always gives deadly credit for the rules

@Gigabeef @airwingmarine I haven't run into a squad in the two days I've had access.

@airwingmarine What's the solo vs squads fix in here? I saw a few people posting about meeting mostly solos when solo but was there something else?

Ok. So I still don't like third person, but holy hell is this a fun game... they have something special here.
I played 15 hours yesterday alone...
The PvP is insanely fun. The crafting system is fantastic and addresses so many issues other games don't even try to fix.
The way they deal with solo and squads is simple but effective.
Gun play feels really good.
The movement isn't just polished, it's rewarding and really fun.
They could drop this game now and it would sell over a million copies easily.
I hope they extend the test, and release it soon so you call all try it.

PUBG was the last game I played 3rd person. As soon as they added first person I never went back. This kind of stuff can really sap the fun out of games for me personally. I will give this game a fair shake, but it'll be hard to overcome the 3rd person dislike I have.

@VeriitasGames Haven't been able to open YT in over a month without seeing 10 peanut shorts. No idea about botting but YT was pushing him hard on the algorithm

For the record, I have no skin in the game, and haven't been paying attention in any way to the goings on within the EFT category on Twitch. I have no idea if/who is botting BUT I think that most of the bold, confident claims regarding botting simply don't know what they don't know, don't recognize how little data they actually have, or all of the different ways in which that data can be interpreted. Just because you see different patterns/trends/behaviors in terms of channel growth, viewer counts, chat activity, there really isn't much anyone of us on the outside of Twitch's backend can conclude to the degree of certainty that I think should be required to make accusations publicly.
There might be great evidence out there, I don't really care that much to look deeper than I have in the last hour or so, but what I can say is that the things I see folks pointing to as some kind of definitive proof are... questionable the majority of the time.
Regarding my comment earlier about Peanut's growth relative to Landmark's, I don't think you realize how NUTS Landmark's growth was within the context of Twitch and EFT at the time. He went from being almost completely unknown, very little YouTube presence, and ~10 avg. viewers on Twitch, to having 2700+ avg. viewers in ~5 months. To me, that's significantly more drastic of a shift than Peanut's, considering he was apparently streaming and making content regularly for 2 years prior to his channel finally starting to grow, and all the while he was grinding the YouTube shorts meta. Peanut's YouTube shorts took off at exactly the same time that his Twitch channel began to pop-off as well, growing from ~600 to ~6000 avg. viewers which, at the very least, doesn't seem to me to be at least outside of the realm of an organic, viral growth spurt.
Peanut grew 10x in viewership on Twitch during a period where he was popping off on other platforms, and in early 2025 when there's 5x more total viewers and 2x the avg. viewers per stream as compared to the same amount of time back in early 2020 when Landmark grew 20x in viewership with 1/5th the viewers available to him without the benefit of a handful of other platforms and their ability to regularly funnel in new viewers.
To be painfully clear, I'm not at all suggesting Landmark's growth wasn't organic, and I am not willing to claim to any meaningful degree of certainty whether or not Peanut is botting, there's a ton of other data I'd want to look at, and even then I'd be really careful about coming to any conclusions. I just wish people would stop making such confident claims/accusations about things they aren't nearly as qualified to make as they think they are, based largely on incomplete data, interpreted from a limited perspective, and more-often-than-not based far too much on a questionable understanding of their own anecdotal experience.

@VeriitasGames @GloriousE1 @BaddieStreams @LVNDMARK_tv Nah, check the charts. Peanuts was significantly faster. Significantly.

@SophosSavant @re3mr Anytime I load in with cash I hop in the btr. Why would anyone lie about something so trivial.

@jokeefe82 @xTerotex Does others having a much easier time on the other editions bother you at all, or do you simply not care about it? Genuine question
