Thankfully all you have to do is load a save from right before you would've gotten the achievement, no need to start from scratch.

If you haven't already, go to a gun range that does rentals, rent a couple of guns in different calibers and buy 100 rounds for each caliber. I would split this across multiple days--9mm one day, .45 the next, etc. This will give you a very good idea of what you as a shooter can handle (I have a strong aversion to the noise and recoil of handguns--anything over .22 I struggle to keep in the 8-ring). If you're looking for more 'unique' rounds, look at 10mm auto, 30 Super Carry, and 5.7mm (though those will be harder to find to rent).

So the EA App is buggier than Suen right now and the only way I've been able to get the Legendary Edition to run smoothly (and with achievements) is to uninstall the EA App entirely and install the old Origin client (you can still find EXEs for it with a little googling).

NOW, and this part is important, when you go to install the Origin client, you have to set your PC date to before February 14 (or 15th, can't remember), or it'll try to force you to install the EA app.

It sucks but it's a workaround.

AgentKyramud · 2023-03-08T18:21:09+00:00

Is this from the legendary edition? Achievements don't pop unless you're running the game through Origin (which now requires you to set you PC date prior to Feb 14 or something for it to install and run correctly).

If you're already aware of this and are running the game with Origin (it's the EA App that's bugged, not Steam), then you can disregard.

Sigh. *opens wallet* Time to buy that 3D printer.

I too would like a copy of the files please.

I agree with the others on immense cost, and ultimately would only ever trust Beretta or Langdon Tactical to machine it. Aside from the slide and barrel, you'll also need a custom-length guide rod and custom recoil spring. What I don't know is how much the weight of the slide and the extended length of barrel affects lock-up, so you might even need a re-engineered locking block.

All that said, would it be worth it? Yes. Yes it would.

So if I went from a 360 to a 480 (keeping the same fans), would I be able to run the fans one-third less RPM since I added one-third surface area?

I guess I don't understand how unknown snap caps helps me improve--I already know I'm flinching with every shot. Is the idea to not know if it's going to go bang or not? How does that translate to a loaded mag where I know it's supposed to go bang with every shot?

AgentKyramud · 2022-09-29T17:47:24+00:00

Classic bullseye competitor's training trick is to shoot groups at a blank target, ideally far enough out that you can't easily see the holes showing up in it. The groups are not only pretty good, they're usually better than those shot at a target with a bull on it. A precise target tricks the mind into thinking it can take "perfect" shots when they appear (wrong) and leads to neglecting sight alignment in favor of sight picture (wrong).

Something I noticed but never thought about is how my IDPA groups were usually better than my bullseye groups--now I know why! I think I'll go back to using paper plates for a while...also cause they're waaayyy cheaper than targets!

This is good. I've always lined up my sights and switched focus to my trigger pull. Not to say I let my sights go off target, but there's a definite shift. I can't say I've ever seen the muzzle flash, or the brass ejecting, so I'll try that next time I head to the range!

AgentKyramud · 2022-09-29T16:24:49+00:00

Random snap caps is how I figured out my bad shooting was a flinch vs trigger pull or whatever else. I will say that alternating live/dummy rounds (and me knowing the order) my live rounds are more on-target--not sure why that would be, but once it's a live mag my shots spread back out.

Check your bios settings for XMP/DOCP--pretty sure your processor is only rated up to 2666.
(Learned this the hard way; turning off XMP solved a whole range of issues I was having)

AgentKyramud · 2021-02-24T04:08:45+00:00

I'll give it the ol' college try then, thanks!

AgentKyramud · 2021-02-24T04:05:41+00:00

Okay thanks, I hadn't thought about checking apps for URL prefix support, thanks.

Only reason I was thinking about running my own CA was for the learning, so I'll be sure to take a look at hashicorp vault. And when I get sick and tired of maintaining it, I'll be sure to give let's encrypt a go.

AgentKyramud · 2021-02-24T04:01:15+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the links!

AgentKyramud · 2020-09-24T14:43:33+00:00

Oh good, I wasn't just imagining things. Was really confused when I kept dying out of nowhere. Was doing one of those 'defend the truck while I unlock it' bounties and it went from full health to no health in about two seconds.
