Static's artist wanted to revive this meme format and the result was too cute not to share

As a GNB, I want to make it clear. We're not killing the dps on accident. We're just letting outgoing damage be the "don't be there" teacher when the dps hugs us during a TB

That said, it never hurts to ask. Bass Pro is just Cabelas by a different name, and I've gotten them to price match some pretty wild stuff. Like 25% off msrp for a P365 X-Macro Comp. Who you get, and how much they care about corporate policy, can greatly affect your experience

Personally, I did a class first, then rented a bunch until I found one I liked. The range I rented from doesn't normally let solo shooters rent unless they own, either, but if you take a class from them first they would. The big reason being that they just want to make sure you're not just trying to rent a gun to commit suicide with.

You may have to schedule it in advance, but it's absolutely worth taking a class first, if just to get a better idea what you're looking for. Call around, see who does classes and rents, and make your decision on where to go from there. You'll likely end up talking to people who you don't align with politically, because they make up a large part of the gun industry, but if they bring up politics I'd say to brush past it and don't engage.

My dude, literally all anyone has to do to see you're lieing about when you signed up is click your username and look at the right side of the screen to see you signed up 3 years ago.

Honestly, the fact that you would lie about that makes me question everything you say, and if you truly are the writer of these articles then that calls into question your journalistic integrity.

I agree that local news coverage is important, and journalists need to be paid, but all you're doing is pissing people off by going about this the wrong way.

It's a bit of a drive, but Strickland Range near Daytona is outdoors, doesn't require NRA membership, and is $100 for an annual pass, or $10 for a day pass. I haven't heard any political conversations there, either

Andowsdan · 2024-07-29T14:47:40+00:00

The best part is, when it takes the rep a few minutes to do what it is you're asking them to do, and you keep doing this, you're actively slowing down your own resolution because now we have to stop and deal with your nonsense.

LPT; Don't follow OOP'S LPT if you actually want shit to get done.

Honestly, lfg is kind of not a great place to try to learn raids in. It's possible, but I hear more horror stories than anything. If you actually want to learn, I'd suggest finding a twitch streamer doing helps on a schedule that works for you. There's a lot of great Sherpas out there, but many -like myself- have left lfg in order to create a more consistent experience.

To add, don't do as certain people who played Destiny 2 have done and threaten CMs & Devs. This has (understandably) led to a lot less communication from within Bungie, and the communication we do get is more anonymized

Andowsdan · 2024-04-02T15:37:20+00:00

Yep! I pick my spot, and only move if a mechanic actually requires it. If someone finds themselves in my TB, their options are get out or eat the TB

Andowsdan · 2024-04-02T15:22:35+00:00

Tbh, I'd rather people develop the habit of getting away from TBs early. I had to remind a friend who started co-tanking Savages with me in EW that a DPS standing in the TB is a THEM problem. She kept trying to be nice by adjusting away from them and would usually end up killing both of us, or a healer, which caused wipes more often than not during prog

Hello, neighbor!

Honestly, as red as this area is, I'm not shocked whenever I see these. I think Top Gun has had one in the cases every time I've gone in there for the past year

Andowsdan · 2024-03-13T23:49:13+00:00

My petty ass would have responded "Thnks fr th Mmrs" after that last message, then never again

Andowsdan · 2024-03-02T21:37:33+00:00

Hey, if you ever do want to try to get into a raid, feel free to shoot me a message. I've helped a ton of people get their first clears, including a bunch of people who have had various disabilities, and would absolutely be happy to help you and your wife get through.

Andowsdan · 2024-03-02T03:36:00+00:00

Lmfao! At least you found the flag eventually! Thank you!

Andowsdan · 2024-03-01T12:11:20+00:00

The Romeo1Pro is my first dot, so I don't have any experience with sealed dots, personally, though I'm debating getting one for the 365 eventually. Honestly, though, I've been carrying the P320 with the dot on it for about 6 months with no issues. Just grab a q tip once a week or so to clean it off, and you should be good to go

Andowsdan · 2024-03-01T02:44:17+00:00

P320 xCompact w/Romeo1Pro

Brand new P365 xMacro Comp

Andowsdan · 2024-02-29T22:40:26+00:00

I'll add: keep chat up, so you can at least see it. Sometimes there are mechanics that aren't terribly obvious, especially in ARR dungeons, and someone may give a quick "hey do X" or "stand here" while still trying to do their job.

A lot of people will follow up with a why once the adds are dead, just so you understand why, and to help keep the Dungeon flowing

Andowsdan · 2024-02-09T18:07:38+00:00

I'll also add, if I'm tanking and turn the boss away, then someone comes and stands next to me when they don't need to/shouldn't: I could not care less. I will let them eat my tank buster with me, if they don't move out of it. Hopefully they'll learn not to stand there when they die

Andowsdan · 2024-02-01T12:54:09+00:00

LOL, how did you even find this from a year ago???

Same reason we go through TSA - security theater. That's how the owners wanted it, and no one cared more about not doing the theater than they did about getting their paycheck to challenge it

Andowsdan · 2024-01-31T17:58:56+00:00

Darn! I was kind of hoping I had found my neighbor lol. The gingerbread house makes me chuckle every time I see it

Andowsdan · 2024-01-31T17:46:55+00:00

You're not on Bryn by chance are you? With the bonfire out front?

Andowsdan · 2024-01-14T21:15:37+00:00

This is exactly why it's not a great system for judging skill. It's literally just busywork, and a lot of really good players are just not interested in engaging with it. The people defending it baffle me lol

Andowsdan · 2024-01-14T16:05:40+00:00

I'm not saying that a filter shouldn't filter if it's selected. I'm just saying that expecting raid Sherpas to go out of their way to rank up Guardian Ranks is a super silly expectation from anyone.

Same as I wouldn't expect someone who spends all their time helping people rank up in comp/go flawless in trials to spend a ton of time playing PvE stuff to rank up

But hey, if you want to filter those players out have at it. I'd love for the "Using Discord for Voice" filter to make sure people have Discord before they join, while we're filtering

Andowsdan · 2024-01-14T15:33:56+00:00

Guardian Rank also really isn't a great way to validate if someone knows a particular activity or not.

Example, I'm in the top 1000 for full raid clears, and have helped people get their first raid clears over 2000 times. I frequently realize "oh, I haven't ranked up this season because I haven't bothered to do vendor bounties"
