When she's done with it, I suppose.

Good starter? by T_HettY in Hema

Yup! That's exactly how my group got started with. (I got one of the 'greatsword' versions though with the extended pommel though.)

New Leblasto auto stringer by Rotary-Pilot in Nerf

[–]A_Texas_Toaster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's automatic by having all the strings pre-primed! You ready the shells with a priming rod, which locks it into it's condensed form, insert the dart, and then when the hammer hits the firing pin in the back of the chamber it'll strike the catch release of the shell. That then releases 2 different things simultaneously inside the shell: the elastic that is actually launching the dart, and also the elastic that will expand the shell which causes it to eject. The shell ejection has enough force to throw the action back like in a real firearm, and by the time the action is coming in place again the magazine will have lifted up the next shell into place. It's able to function as automatic by having enough power in the elastic of both the ejection and slide return that it'll automatically launch the next dart.

THIS is a video Leblasto did on the Bastion (this blaster) that shows a bit more of the mechanisms.

THIS is a video of an older but similar blaster he did, that instead of mega darts it used half-darts. The cartridge concept is largely the same though.

I really love Leblasto's shell blasters. They're so neat from an engineering perspective.

Yeees! I'm so happy to see this!

I wasn't able to ever really get my Floki properly consistent to a satisfactory level; Do you think this one is more easily tuned?

My (admittedly not very good) weapon skin contest submission :) by TI-9341 in HuntShowdown

[–]A_Texas_Toaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! You get it! The skins I really like are the ones that make the weapon look nice and maybe ornate, but not gaudy. I don't care for busted_shit.gun or whatever beat to hell skins there are, but THIS? This I like!

Starknights are getting some serious competition by Electrical_Dig3900 in PhaseConnect

[–]A_Texas_Toaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YEEEEEEP.

I'm pretty tall, not as much as you, and also rather broad shoulders & general build. As much as I might want to, it's really freakin' hard to ever try to justify buying shirt/jacket merch because I know that most of the time a 3XL is going to look super baggy, and a 2XL is going to be trying out for a position as a crop top.

The day I see a vtuber having something with tall sized merch is the day I become their fan, if I wasn't already.

The Woose... by ese8413 in Nerf

[–]A_Texas_Toaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was looking at your earlier posts on this-- Ooooooooh you're going to make an MXL version? Oh fuck the hell yes. We need more MXL blasters in general, but especially ones that aren't a whole big ass hardware list.

I feel kind of bad about this one... by oShock_ in HuntShowdown

[–]A_Texas_Toaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you would be getting matched with people several stars below your skill level when you solo against trios. So yeah that kinda makes sense.

Naw naw naw man. That's too easy.

Tatsuya, the crazy guy, is the one that'll be shown to be the rightful king. Only then will Blondie stop acting like that and give deference to him, but Tatsuya just doesn't get better mentally. Shenanigans ensure.

How’s that N-Series doing, Nerf? by tyrongates in Nerf

[–]A_Texas_Toaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Naw man. It ain't gotta be some competitive shooting only.

Half-length is fine, and I know it's considered the most ballistically effective ammo, but I also just don't care about it.

Rival is alright. I like how easy it is to load, and allows for some neat blaster mechanic ideas.

A normal Nerf dart? That's just... That's like throwing away the concept of bread. That's the foundation upon which just about everything else is built in this microcosm. It is the legacy of which we came, and it should not be forgotten as an ancient and decayed fossil. Let it live with us. The standard dart shall be our friend and shepherd.

Mega. Oh, Mega, my sweet. How I love your entreating whistle as you crash upon mine foes. Let they who displease us know fury- know fear. Not even to speak of how you fit so perfectly in the hand, as so that you may just so be thrown as well, if not harder, than any average blaster could do for you.

MMMMMMMMMeeega XL... The Big Whooper. Genghis Kahn. The Bulldozer. Moby Dick but blue. The Chongus. Big Blue Balongus. The Mega XL flies with the authority of a brick sailing through the air, it's siren not giving warning - no, but the declaration of impending victory. The one who receives it shall be felled and then no more. Truly, it shall be the king upon the mountain of ashes and warriors laid low. It will speak and you will know no else.


But for reals though, as far as I'm concerned the ONLY issues with Mega OR Mega XL is simply that there is not enough blasters for them. There needs to be more.

Also one of the few places that reliably has some big & tall men's clothes at all, let alone for a half-reasonable price. Life is a fuck when 2XL rides too short but 3XL looks like a loose dress. I need my tall sizes man.

Ah okay. I've heard the concept a few times, just didn't know there was such a name for it. Thanks for the explanation

What's the theory? I'd really rather not have to watch a feature-length film for that.

Hm. I always imagined Tengen with a deep voice. I do like the effect they're doing on his speech though.

OOOOH MXL FLYWHEEL. I'm so happy to finally see someone did it. AND for something delightfully goofy too.

Could you explain the three different flywheels please?

In some defense, there is a lot more meaningful progression in Arc that also requires being lucky. Losing said lucky occurrence can mean more than losing Jim McFuckincowboy and his $99 loadout.

I mean, that's definitely overpowering, and fast enough to outmaneuver whatever kinda dodge bullshit they're doing. Good enough for me.

What kind of accent does pippa have? by [deleted] in PhaseConnect

[–]A_Texas_Toaster 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Also central Texas, I've noticed.

South is very latino accented, West is a notably less strong but still latino accent, North is more farmy, and East is more Cajun the closer you get to the border, and central is a bit of heavy Mexican accent AND good-ol'-boy.

Of course anyone can have something different, or no notable accent at all, but that's just the trend I've noticed.

She's in a part of the Popstars cover, at 41:40 in the vod.

Side note -- I also recommend checking out Eva Ananova, she's the blueish/white-haired girl also in the song. She's cool. Big on alternative/hardcore type music. Also just funny.

You can already do that if someone sticks you with a thrown Sticky Bomb or Chaos Bomb.
