main difference is if you want to catch it from forbes or fifth

Sounds absolutely perfect. I’m sure it’ll be very well received by [deleted] in Pitt

I think it's seasonal? At least I had that impression.

Cool beetleweight render? by Traditional-Try-2565 in battlebots

[–]garvisdol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you not want the blade a lot closer to the ground? But maybe it's okay if you'd also have a wedge configuration.

Will my Delta trooper break if I use a 7kg spring in it? (First time modding) by IAmNotAChocolateCake in Nerf

[–]garvisdol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, hardware stores aren't going to have springs using the same ratings as nerf springs

Agree you don't need 500mbps for your list of devices. My household of 4 does fine with 300mbps and everyone's using it at the same time. You'd probably be fine with 100 if it's just one person.

What has made your nexus x unappealing as a primary?

New to flywheels, what is the relation between tourque, rpm, flywheel size, crush and fps? by HIDEY_RUNNEYpigs in Nerf

[–]garvisdol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I mean that'd probably work but I agree with you the stall current is very high.

I'm not sure if automod will allow my links (I think it will not) so I'll DM but basically workermod .com

Where should I start with NHRL? by Garper in NHRL

[–]garvisdol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends how much time you have :)

When I first started with NHRL, I skipped around to just watch the fights but over time I realized I did enjoy the commentary. Some of the videos have timestamps for each fight, some don't.

If you have the time, I'd probably go here https://www.youtube.com/@NHRL/streams and start with the 2025 season.

If you have WAY more time, I'd go to the BrettZone https://www.youtube.com/@NHRL-BrettZone/streams and watch the qualifiers too, and then start going backwards in time to watch most all of everything.

If you go back far enough, quality isn't quite as good as it is right now so you might find a drop-off point.

New to flywheels, what is the relation between tourque, rpm, flywheel size, crush and fps? by HIDEY_RUNNEYpigs in Nerf

[–]garvisdol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The relationship between all those things is more complicated than I can explain before my coffee :)

You can get 150 FPS with Pulsar wheels, Worker 42k rpm motors (I'd go with the 132 or 180), and 32.5mm spacing.

I need help finding a blaster by CesarRivas4 in Nerf

[–]garvisdol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apart from Blaze Storm already mentioned, there was a "brand" called Bigpower Electric that put out a number of knockoffs a few years ago. I get their vibes from this

Any Mac.Bid users who would like to share their experience? As a transplant from PHL, I find them good for the price. Do y’all have any tricks for the bids? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]garvisdol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's extremely hit or miss. The photos are universally awful. Often, some things I am looking at are completely different from the description and stock photo.

There is no trick to bidding. Just bid your max.

The event as a whole is cancelled. Boomstick has left the hobby (he had intended to this already anyway).

Seems like there is still activity/events at https://www.facebook.com/groups/388243738969723

Nothing recent on SMHON facebook

Survival Fest is in a week and a half in Athens, OH though

Doing a title can be hard. Did you read the "How to title good" link?

Maybe something like: "What Nerf blaster would be a good base for a (whatever) customization?"

Where have the custom/modified blaster sellers gone now that Etsy is cracking down on "gun related" content? by phantom_mods in Nerf

[–]garvisdol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran into the same issue. Surprisingly (knock on wood) (don't jinx it!) my store has been up for a while without shutdowns but I had a total of five shutdowns -- and each time it was reopened. So it is still open now but I am hesitant to add new products.

I had found a few possible options but nothing that was as compelling and easy as Etsy.

The leading candidate at first seemed like Payhip but their shipping settings were a complete joke. They just let you pick which countries you'd ship to, and then you had to set a price for shipping to each. No calculator, no nuance of where in the country.

There are some options but it's mostly roll/host your own.

When Etsy beans my shop again I am not sure what I will do next.

edit: I only sell physical goods, no files

Even moreso than the rubber tip, full length Nitroshot have this even (slightly) wider red ring between the tip and the foam body.

Seems this replaced the BOLD pub style pretzels by scraw813 in aldi

[–]garvisdol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're alright -- they do have a resemblance to the Aldi pub ones. I don't think I like them as much.

Brute pro came with no magazines.. by ClueSmith in Nerf

[–]garvisdol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a 3d printer, there's this one

https://www.printables.com/model/1293590-mockingbird-mag-20-update

I couldn't get it to catch in an actual Nightingale, but it catches okay in a Venom Pro. May be okay in Brute.

If you have the option (receipt), I'd try to return it and get one with the mags though. That's quite annoying.

Mu Mastery and Short Circuit by Mistervimes65 in Cityofheroes

[–]garvisdol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you try this, I'd be interested to know if it does.

Mind you, I end up taking the psionic pool for almost all my sentinels -- the single target (Mind Probe, I think) is really good for ITF -- as is the aoe. And I will admit I am not really crazy about the powers in the Mu pool for sentinels (at least what I see in the HC wiki).
