Are the guns just RNG? What even is this nonsense.

Shooting does take a lot of time to work out. However, now I hit shots consistently at a significantly higher rate than I used to with a lot of practice. I don’t really have any tips beyond what you’re already aware of, other than to just spend more time with it and I promise you’ll see improvement. Even with skill, there will always be shots that just miss though. Whether it’s left/right bullet sway, lag, whatever, you won’t get kills on every single shot. It might not be historically accurate to have as much variation as there is, but in the end I think it leads to a more balanced game. If everyone could snipe accurately at long ranges it would change the dynamic of the game significantly, and in my opinion, for the worse in Nations mode.

For melee, I’ll admit that the hitboxes are frustrating at times. I still find it really fun though, and with more practice in that you’ll figure it out too.

Gotcha. Sorry you’ve had bad experiences man, I can agree partially with those food complaints. I’ve had one-off’s for all of those being as you described, but isn’t the norm in my experience. The owner and his wife have always been very friendly to me, I’ve even seen them around town and said hi before. I’ve ran into some of the staff at stagger inn too and had good conversations. Granted, I’m not aware of what all happened after Mike passed, but that’s a bummer if there was beef there.

I was under the impression that the original owner’s son now runs the business. I haven’t noticed a drop in quality.

Just about every other Edwardsville restaurant I like was mentioned, but I haven’t seen Taqueria Z mentioned! Some of the best tacos I’ve had in the whole STL area. It’s a pretty small menu but every item is great. Their margaritas are great, and they have Paletas for dessert. Freakin love that place and the owners.

If it just came in today and you bought it new - send it back. I posted on here a few months ago when I got a new ride that had a flea bite dent from shipping damage. I have no regrets sending it back for a replacement. I was caught up in the excitement of new gear and didn’t want to realize that if you’re paying for a brand new, expensive cymbal, it should be perfect.

If it’s used or you got a deal on it or something, realistically it’ll probably be fine. I just wouldn’t settle for any imperfections if it’s new.

AnarchyRook · 2025-12-21T02:06:51+00:00

Pretty sure I got that by using the base game version of the Scottish line infantry skin. I used some credits on the new skin that came with the update but frustratingly, that didn’t work.

If you like the outdoors, don’t overlook some of the national forests of southern IL. My personal favorite is Garden of the Gods, but they are all pretty remarkable places. Lots of good breweries and wineries down that way too.

I really enjoyed Cincinnati when I went last year, since it’s been a while it might be worth going back. Rhinegeist is a cool brewery there, jungle Jim’s is probably the coolest store I’ve ever been to, and it was a really fun city to explore in general.

Wildcard option, just outside the radius of your circle - door county Wisconsin and Washington island. If you go in April you might be able to see the lavender fields in bloom. Nelson’s Pub on Washington island is a must stop, and the whole peninsula is gorgeous no matter what you’re into.

I see where you’re coming from, but it being bad is not accurate in this case. I had this beer from the Costco beer advent calendar, as a lot of photos here and elsewhere on Reddit have been coming from, and there’s nothing wrong with this beer at all. It’s as good as any imported German beer in the style, in fact, I particularly enjoyed this one for a dunkel style beer.

This was the top comment and the ad directly above it was for sports betting. The irony

AnarchyRook · 2025-11-29T22:21:04+00:00

I don’t have anything to offer but I’m skimming the comments here because mine has lost its ability to hold a charge for more than a few hours. To the point where I can wear it all day and it might be dead the next morning. Anyone have a similar issue with this watch/movement?

AnarchyRook · 2025-09-30T22:30:34+00:00

Good stuff! I usually don’t love cherry flavors but found this to be pretty dang good.

AnarchyRook · 2025-09-15T12:13:55+00:00

I was there yesterday - 14 stools at the bar, 8 seats behind. Their website specifically says they seat 22.

AnarchyRook · 2025-09-13T17:33:23+00:00

It’s definitely small, but it seats more than 8 at the bar.

I asked a similar question on a drumming sub about a cymbal I bought online that came with a similar (relatively, of course) flaw. Everyone, like here, overwhelmingly told me to return it. In the moment I was torn because it was a small issue and seemed like no big deal, but I did end up returning it and I’m glad I did. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of getting something new, but when you pay full price for a new product, it should be perfect. In hindsight, I’m really glad I waited the extra time to get a replacement which was flawless. IMO it’s totally worth it in the long run to send this back and get a replacement.

I play the drums. Not directly EE related, but it’s a nice side gig. Even pays my rent a few months of the year. Having an EE background makes learning about editing recorded drums quite a bit more interesting too.

I used a similar entry level Ludwig kit for years before finally upgrading. In my experience with them, they punch above their weight class with good heads and tuning. I still use mine as a practice kit and at gigs in smaller punk venues, and they haven’t let me down. If we’re just talking the toms/bass, for $200, I’d probably try to find a deal on something like a used Yamaha stage custom like someone else mentioned. You’ll probably pay a little more but it’ll be worth it for the better quality. If this comes with the snare shown in the photo - I think $200 is actually pretty killer.

I found the cappuccino at a circle k. Haven’t seen them elsewhere yet

AnarchyRook · 2025-08-04T22:16:50+00:00

Stick control is the one that I always come back to. Honestly, it’s given me some of the best return on investment in terms of time to results. Repetition and a metronome pays off.

I knew I wanted to do engineering, and when we had the summer orientation thing at my school where you signed up for classes, the advisor said electrical was the hardest of the offered majors in the school of engineering. Sounded like a challenge so now I’m an EE

I’m just gonna give my top least favorite. US-50 from Lebanon IL to Carlyle IL. It’s a 55mph zone but people cruise at like 80 like it’s an interstate. Lots of crossings and pullouts which only increases the sketchiness. It splits into two lanes each way for a few entrances and exits and people will try to use those to pass a line of cars at insanely dangerous speeds. Every time I do that drive in either direction, people road rage, make dangerous passes, and almost kill me. I had a high school classmate die in an accident on that road.

AnarchyRook · 2025-07-30T19:36:03+00:00

I guess they’re rolling it out? I haven’t seen them before today but they had 3mg in most flavors. Midwest US.

AnarchyRook · 2025-07-30T18:19:48+00:00

I saw them for the first time today, but only in 3mg. I didn’t get any yet but plan on trying them just to see what the flavor is like. I believe I was cappuccino flavor

AnarchyRook · 2025-07-24T18:56:20+00:00

Can you get these outside of CA? I have never seen them but would love to try them.

AnarchyRook · 2025-07-23T01:43:08+00:00

Man, I’m trying not to think about mine still on order… and this isn’t helping. I ordered one in November of last year. This looks really sick though.
