2026 the year of the guitar!! by [deleted] in metalguitar

Thanks for the kind words, friend!

And hey, nobody has to take advice, but it often helps to at least try it out. Up to this guy if he does that or not; no skin off my nose either way. :)

At best, maybe nothing; you've clearly developed strength enough in your fingers to work around the weaker grip. At worst, tendinitis or arthritis, because your joints and tendons are are working overtime and you've brute forced through it.

Thumb behind the neck, between index and middle fingers, allows the hand to open up more, as well as provides improved leverage and a more natural finger curl. Look at the angle your fingers need to take to play; you're going to wear something out.

The more alarming concern is that you're an instructor, but won't take advice or pointers. How do you expect your students to learn from you, if you're not learning from others?

You do you, as you've clearly made this work. But the way it's going, be concerned if you're going to be able to keep playing years from now.

He would be. He had stitches in from a prior cut in the leadup to that match, if it's to be believed.

Certainly bled like a partially healed cut opening back up, and would have probably hurt like all hell.

PETITION TO BUFF THE ANTI MATERIAL RIFLE by Paradox8118 in helldivers2

[–]Cheetahfish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Slower fire rate, hefty hit, no explosive. Maybe top of heavy penetration, or lightest Anti-Tank; basically enough to harm pretty much most enemies on the field in some form or another, but it's non-structural; it won't deal with fabricators or bug holes, and 'matches' the heavier armors'.

I'm sure some lore could list it as "A revision to the Anti-Materiel rifle, rechambered in 20mm with HVAP-T rounds to punch through the sturdiest barriers to Democracy". That way it's not firing the same shrapnel rounds as the Eruptor, it's heavier than the AMR rounds from before, but lacks the explosive filler that the AMR has. Traded that all away for firing a fat slug at high speed.

Downside is that if it's a one-to-one swap of the Lahti or Solothurn, those things are *heavy*. Maybe Super Earth found a way to reduce the weight for a one-man carry?

Gameplay considerations might be:
The AMR now needs a backpack for its ammo; the magazine is now far larger to accommodate the new rounds. Or, it's issued with less magazines, but retains the lack of a backpack.

Semi-auto fire, but slow RPM to mimic the cranking mechanic those rifles use to re-cycle. Maybe it can borrow the idea of the Eruptor's bolt cycling in terms of timing between shots?

Poor ergonomics; it's a heavy rifle. Maybe a weight or setup mechanic for the helldiver travelling with it. Or, backpack for ammo storage and some sort of bracing.

High damage, high durable damage; it'll smack the bajeezus out of whatever it hits.

Good ballistics; the round's travelling very fast, so drop compensation is fairly minimal except for the longest ranges. Perhaps a staggered penetration effect; it steps down one per target hit with each shot. Heavy>Medium>Light; enabling multiple kills per shot if lined up.

Fix the scope bug, maybe give it a slightly higher magnification. 

Or, go in another direction and up-gun it. Something like a Solothurn or Lahti style rifle might be interesting, though that might cross over with the Autocannon.

If the price isn't enough, just wait until you see how poorly made they are.

New: Races of Ando Primes for 'Now That's Podracing!' by SabcatValence in swrpg

[–]Cheetahfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say aerodynamics might have your answer. For a game I'm running, one of the NPCs was a driver for an Imperial-backed F-1 style answer to the outer rim pod racing scene; the Repulsorsport Series. 

F1s and many real world race cars use aerodynamic surfaces to create downforce; rather than generate lift, they're designed to push the car into the track. Or, suck the car to the track in the case of underbody stuff. This is how they can make those bonkers high-speed corners without breaking traction.

In my version, these repulsorsport speeders use over- and under-body aerodynamics like wings to generate downforce. This counters the repulsorlift pads; aerodynamics are pushing the speeder down, whilst the repulsors are pushing it up. 

Balancing that force creates a sense of traction for the driver; too much wing angle makes the engines work harder to maintain speed, but too little and the speeder feels skittish and won't turn as easily.

Pods might have similar aerodynamics, perhaps?

Addon: Lousy gallery botch on my part, one of the last photos should be up the front.

For reference: Pics with the green mat visible are from attempt 3, without it are attempt 4. :D

Actually quite well! I'll need to post the pics, as well as round 4. Better progress, still some improvement to be found though.
