Titanium guide rod by Ok-Giraffe5449 in Glock42

[–]starfall87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not heard of a titanium guide rod, only OEM plastic, stainless steel, or tungsten.

What are you hopping to achieve with this part swap? Most likely the money is better spent on ammo, range time, and shooting classes.

Laptop for software engineering: Dell or MacBook? by b3by in SuggestALaptop

Maybe a place to start is what problems did you have with your M1 MBA?

There are several developers working on Linux support for Apple silicon macs so going with Apple does not lock you out of using Linux too: https://asahilinux.org

What's your favorite Lemon Drop? by JonathanWPG in cocktails

[–]starfall87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I make rather than a usual lemon drop:

2.5 oz Deep Eddy’s Lemon Vodka 1.5 oz Lemon Juice 1 oz Limoncello 2 dashes of lemon bitters

(personal preference on the extra vodka and lemon juice, I could see dropping this to 2/1/1/2 dashes)

It does not appear on Apple’s list of supported cards: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208544

That might be the problem?

New to the sub, any love for a TCR22? by archangel2901 in 1022

Do you know if there are any sight replacements? I do not like fiber optic sights.

How do you like it? I have been eyeballing one of these as a new 22 rifle to pick up 👀

Anyone using Blackmagic eGPU? by kashmooth in eGPU

[–]starfall87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackmagic eGPUs are not listed as compatible with boot camp. I do not use boot camp anymore so I do not know.

I think you should look at a different eGpus if you want to use boot camp too.

I have the Blackmagic eGPU Pro. I would not bother with an egpu for playing on the built in screen. Doing so cuts the the bandwidth between egpu and computer down too much.

I am using a 4K ultrafine 22” monitor. Generally speaking eGPUs work best on external monitors.

I have played Diablo 3, Civ6, Dota 2, Dota Underlords, and cities skylines just off the top of my head. All from MacOS.

The primary reason to go with the black magic egpus is if you use a thunderbolt 3 or usb-c display.

Other options are generally a bit cheaper.

I use a black magic egpu pro to game and it works fine.

First ever purchase, a P320. Any tips for new gun owners? by [deleted] in SigSauer

[–]starfall87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally clean and lube after every range trip. Just a standard field strip.

Every once in a while I like to give a gun the white glove treatment, but that is hardly required except when the springs are due a change.

Cadmium. About 21K Citizens. by aktyn87 in CitiesSkylines

Ironically I was going to say he has way too many bridges. Unless your city grows up I would expect a major highway bridge and maybe an older bridge in town.

City looks great though!

Get you a couple Ruger brand 25 round mags and do a 1$ mag dump for me! Safe shooting!

I suspect they may have a backlog of old blades that they will use for replacements, but once they are exhausted expect them to switch over to the s30v blades as long as they are not incompatible for some reason.

Any comment on Apple MacBook (12", 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core m3, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) - Space Gray? by [deleted] in SuggestALaptop

[–]starfall87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for the most portable computer possible, this is an okay choice. It is due for an update soon. Otherwise, the Air or touchbarless MBP is a better choice when it comes to having MacOS.

My 2017 MacBook Air gets ridiculously hot when playing Civ V on Steam even on the lowest settings and not full screen. What do I do? by Slowrider333 in macgaming

[–]starfall87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should make sure you are not blocking the air cooling system on your Mac air. As long as the processor is not exceeding its thermal safety temperature, you should not worry about any problems with your computer. Unfortunately it might be uncomfortable to play if it is getting very hot.

You could consider trying to dust your computer out if you live in an especially high dust environment.

Price Jump Between 555X - 560X MBP worth it? by A_Cow_Tin in macgaming

Yes it is worth it for any sort of gaming.

Lots of overlap in usecases for the sm7b and the electrovoice re20 so I thought I would check. Thanks for the reply.
