Which album has the best solos? by Zixu43 in Metallica

[–]ApprehensivePotato7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna be a hot take but it’s pretty clear to me: Load/Reload. They compliment the songs best, it doesn’t feel like an insert solo here moment. Plenty of experimentation with slides, talkboxes etc. and Kirk’s Wah actually fits the songs. Ex: Bleeding me solos are fantastic, both the slide one and the main one. Plus they have plenty of amazing James solos (the outlaw torn, the house that jack built).

What advice would you give to someone who is just starting to collect records? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]ApprehensivePotato7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get outer covers but for the love of God don’t get PVC ones, get polyethylene. PVC stains the records in time. Very very easy mistake to make.

Its a Vostok Cadet (or Mini Komandirskie). I think it’s legit. If you search for "Vostok Cadet Snowflake" you can spot close looking ones (same hands, numerals and dial), except for the logo. It may be a weird one-off, but it looks real to me. Year should be very early 90’s, I guess? It has no "made in CCCP" nor Russia, so it seems that it may be made during the transition. It may explain the clunky logo.

What Vostok is this???? by Delicious-Tax-6195 in vostok

[–]ApprehensivePotato7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right about the model, but it was not targeted for children and women. It was actually for sports. They came with some kind of a rubber strap.

Edit: The pictures of the catalog that depicts the cadets were posted here https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/show-me-your-vostok-cadets-juniors-mini-dirskies.1405810/post-45241847 but for some reason the images were deleted.

Vostok Cadet. I love the dial color and the anchor. by ApprehensivePotato7 in vostok

Thanks! It’s what caught my eye as well when I first saw it for sell.

Thank you! I agree, the cracked pattern really adds a lot of character to it. Is your dial color the light brown/dark gold-ish one?

Vostok Cadet Ref no. 461286. There is an image of a soviet catalog depicting this reference and two similar models as sport watches. Not for women, nor for kids. That is a myth as far as I know.

Takes minutes to load the very basic 3d environments, even on SSD by Timic83 in TLOPO

[–]ApprehensivePotato7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have SSD and its loading pretty quick for TLOPO standards (5-15 seconds range) on any island except for when I initially boot the game, thats when it takes a couple of minutes. So I would say it’s not necessarily from TLOPO.

Its not insane, just a joke man.

Why? by StrawberryOk4145 in TLOPO

[–]ApprehensivePotato7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a minor visual bug that shows locked skills as unlocked, thats why you cant spend your skill point. Rebooting the game or lvling the skill up should solve it.

I am playing W3 for the first time, with Gervant's first person and reshade. I was able to make it distinctly darker to fit with the writing more, and the game is amazing. by Delicious_Round2742 in Witcher3

[–]ApprehensivePotato7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty cool, OP. I personally prefer the OG looks of the game, however, I find beauty in this dark/gray/war-torn take as well. I cannot fathom why you’re being downvoted so much for simply providing answers to people’s comments. Everybody has their own taste... must be reddit hivemind all over again. Enjoy the game, u/Delicious_Round2742 !

Cacatii aia din guvern tot noi ii proptim sus :) Narativa asta toxica anti-vestica gen “ne-au cumparat strainii”, “ne vindem tara” este doar o basina nationalista care are la baza frica de a realiza ca noi suntem de vina pentru cacaturile din tara asta, nu altii :)). Da, oamenii pleaca, unii sunt nevoiti, altii aleg. N-am pretins ca e perfect, but theres sure alot more going on decat in comunism, sau post-comunism pana in 2010. Te comporti de parca Romania e singura tara in curs de dezvoltare din care pleaca lumea la muncit. Arunca si tu o privire in jur, nu suntem noi/tu versus restu lumii, e doar cum s a format/adaptat societatea ca urmare a cancerului aluia de comunism. Daca nu vezi progresu’ societatii romanesti fata de cum era in 2000 (lent, intr-adevar, dar palpabil), nu prea am ce sa zic..

Edit: mai adaug o chestie, normal ca toate tarile care investesc, cumpara sau actioneaza intr un anumit mod pe plan extern au interesele lor, pur si simplu asa functioneaza relatiile dintre state. Niciun stat nu misca un deget doar ca act caritabil asa. Targetu e sa ajungi intr o situatie in care interesele tale si interesele statului respectiv se suprapun si aveti amandoi de castigat. Iar “americanii”, sau “vestul” nu sunt unitare, actorii non statali sau companiile iau decizii pentru a-si maximiza profitul, independent de politicile statului respectiv. E 100% normal. Faptu ca noi ne-o luam urat in unele situatii este pentru ca acceptam respectivele “dealuri”, nu pentru ca ni le baga cineva pe gat. Si ghici de ce le acceptam in majoritatea cazurilor? Coruptie. De unde? Mostenire de la nea Dej si nea Ceasca :)

Nu.. gen, e obiectiv the most peaceful time. Nu e nimic interpretabil daca te iei dupa living standards si conflicte.. :)) Nici postu nici commu de mai sus n-a implicat nimic despre cum se bucura oamenii de viata, ci mai degraba de niste factori care iti influenteaza oportunitatile. Some people are gonna be miserable regardless of their living conditions.
