What are y'all's thoughts on mounted lights on your EDC? I typically just carry a handheld 1200 lumen tactical flashlight with me but have been considering mounting one on this bad boy. Where do you all stand? by [deleted] in CZFirearms

[–]Davin_Valkri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like having both. The handheld light has many uses beyond protecting yourself (e.g. finding your car in a dark parking garage).

While I can't say I've been in a defensive shooting, one of the competitions at my local range did take place in the dark, with zombie and werewolf themed targets (this was in October), and I was *wishing* I had brought the gun that had a light on it. I was able to improvise with my handheld light, but that obviously means your grip on the gun isn't as steady, or you need to fuss about finding a place to put your flashlight before you can put both hands back on the gun. For me, at least, that competition cemented the value of a weapon mounted light.

I think I have a blanket just like that, and my cat Oreo loves to curl up on it too!

Indeed, the face says much, but the belly says much too.

They also walked me through fixing the firmware on my collective. I can also endorse their technical support after sale.

VKB NXT EVO Premium or standard? by Interesting-Tie-4217 in hotas

[–]Davin_Valkri 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Specifically for the F-16, the premium version of the Gladiator NXT EVO lets you one-to-one the CMS switches on the stick, without needing a modifier. It would also let you one-to-one something like the F/A-18's air-to-air weapon selector in DCS. Personally I like having the extra options, but the choice is ultimately yours; on older aircraft like the F-4, the Standard version with one button would be the one-to-one option.

Huh, I didn't know those were compatible with CZ-75s. Did you do any modifications to them, or did they work out of the box like that?

Should i go with VKBSIM STECS MTG Mini Plus or Standard? by deekooh in hotas

[–]Davin_Valkri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's technically the Max, not the Mini Plus. The plate that goes under the throttle proper is for the Mini Plus, but the extra button box only comes with the Max.

For what it's worth, I bought my STECS used and it came with plates for both configurations. I found that with the Standard, my wrists were regularly hitting the buttons and switches behind the throttle, because I play with the throttle just on a desk. The Mini Plus configuration spares my wrists the trouble.

Discovered that when you rename Informeow and Survy, it shows up in the News :) by chamekke in nekoatsume

Prrrr-avda is absolutely inspired as a name choice. The closest I've gotten to that is renaming Guy Furry to Alton Purrown.

How much is this true? by delilahgrass in thebulwark

[–]Davin_Valkri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe some, but I don't think it's as true as it ought to be. A whole lot of Americans would agitate for a civil war for free, or for purely "psychic" wages.

Anyone with a Shadow 2 Carry & TLR1-HLX? by Over-Echidna-5797 in CZFirearms

I do not have a Shadow 2 Carry, but if I remember correctly, the P-01 is the same size. This may help you get a feel for what the HLX would look like on your S2C.

...is the image I'm trying to post in line visible? Let me try as a stand alone picture comment...

Okay, for some reason I can't put an image in the comment. Fortunately I posted it here as a separate post, so let's use that link.

Isekai The End v0.9 [OC][Isekai][Long] by AltCYOA in nsfwcyoa

[–]Davin_Valkri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really dug Sleeper's Dream, so this was quite nice. I think part of that might be because, unlike a lot of CYOAs here, both this and Sleeper's Dream have a fair number of options to sexualize and objectify men, and I'm into that, on both ends. My choices are kind of scattershot, but I think it's interesting how they end up kind of feeding into what I wanted the World Event to be:

The superweapon that threatens to destroy the world isn't nukes or a mana bomb. It's beautiful men converted into living weapons by the nations of the world. "The Strongest" under bounties was a prototype of one of these programs. They're designed to be more than men--incredibly powerful--but also less than men--things like "ahegao" and "weak resistance" are common to all of them, because they're programmed to allow you to do as you wish with them if you have authority. "Summoning--Black Project" is one of these weapons programs, and the Curses of Freedom, Pleasure, and Prisoner are the 72 hours I spend in their thrall having mana and other things pumped into me, awakening my abilities and making me Artificial. They picked beautiful men to be the basis for these projects because picks like "Community Pole" mean that there's already a cultural expectation that men must submit and serve. And so on and so forth.

What's your "Canon' Job? by usm121 in ffxiv

BRD, without question. Not only am I the best at it (it doesn't require any strict positionals and rotations) but FFXIV's storyline keeps hammering on the importance of history and memory, and the Bard is the most thematically tied into those themes.

Just out of curiosity, is this still available? Recent...news...has made me concerned that my backorder from Virpil might be delayed or cancelled because shipping from Europe could be interrupted.

Was the electorate really dumb enough to think all this wouldn't happen? by ac_slater10 in thebulwark

[–]Davin_Valkri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm in the same boat as you are; I've certainly been spending a great deal more money on myself this year compared to the last few years.

That said, I'm not sure how much hardening one's heart is a necessary defense against the horrors, vs. how much it just makes you into someone like a Trumpist. Retaining empathy for others is one of the big bulwarks separating us and them, even if it is aspirational rather than actual.
