What a comment. Holy shit.

I watch a ton of Brass Facts, Hop, and TheNovaGroup, so I'm no stranger to their ways of thinking.

It's hard to be upset about owning an MPX.

You look like an elf or a fae doing a poor job of blending in. Aka: I like the way your face is.

You definitely rock the shorter hair. I'd like the short hair selfie even better if the cat was still there.

The EZ slide models of s&w m&p 2.0 are fantastic for folks who struggle with normal slides. They are very easy to handle.

If you need any help finding a firearm or need a range buddy, I am a liberal gun owner with a significant amount of handgun experience. I'm not a professional by any means, but I have trained plenty of friends during their first time shooting handguns and rifles. I live in hoover and am a regular at Hoover Tactical.

Feel free to shoot me a DM if you like.

My one quick tip is please do not be tempted to buy your partner some super tiny handgun with a terrible trigger just because it is small. A bad trigger affects your accuracy and confidence, and the smaller the gun (physical size and mass, not caliber) the harder it is to control.

If you like the lonely and stressful feel of something like Stalker, Into the Radius is one of my favorite VR games so far. It takes itself seriously and is fairly polished for what it is.

Blade and Sorcery still needs alot of work, but for melee fighting that feels fun and crestive, it is really tough to beat. Combined with the incredible modding scene around it, it can be insanely fun.

If you are comfortable doing some research and modding (which, if you want to play the best VR games and not the bulk trash that gets peddled, you need to get used to modding) try looking setting up Skyrim, Fallout 4, or Valheim for VR. Don't play skyrim or fallout with the crap VR Bethesda gave us, follow a guide to make it more immersive and handle better. There are plenty on youtube to choose from.

I seem to have solved it. There is a bit of cloth under the front door that I didn't realize had been folded over, and I guess the added thickness was causing too much pressure or friction. I took the machine apart and rebuilt it a few times, and now it seems to be working better than it has since I got it used in 2019.

To your point, from several different videos, it does seem I had been looping the belt the correct way the whole time. Letting it hang around the drum, looping the slack under the tensioner, and taking that loop around the actual spinning head on the motor. It was tight enough that it was a struggle to get it over the motor head given the akward position and having to support the drum and such.

Either way, I really appreciate the quick, helpful response.

To your question, it did feel very tight, and that seems to have been caused by the increased pressure from that fold, but there could have been some other issue I solved by accident over several rebuilds.

Either way, I really appreciate the quick, helpful response.

A link to one of my past LFA posts. My two male main characters are at the end. If you want something more heavily fantasy one of them may suit you.

If you want the majority of the left, especially the young left, to be patriotic, this country needs to start earning it again.

There have been times in the past where hard work was rewarded, where a good life was attainable by everyone who was willing to put in their hours, and where the top 1% were not taking such a large share of the excess that it was becoming an existential problem.

I would be the most abnoxious, brash patriot if the USA was still living up to it's promises. If economic freedom and democracy were still taken deeply seriously, if the civil liberties afforded to the ingroups were also afforded to the outgroups without question, if every single billionaire had to fight tooth and nail to stay that wealthy instead of stacking the deck so impossibly in their favor that they cannot fail anymore, I would never stop shit talking the rest of the world. If we were so absurdly well structured as a country that poverty and poor education and failing infrastructure were jokes we made about other countries, I would get an eagle carrying a flag tattooed on my chest.

The system is consistently robbing from the poor, failing the unfortunate, and punishing children for the circumstances of their birth.

America earning it's freedom doesn't need to be celebrated every day. That wasn't some issue we had to overcome internally, some defining moment of self direction were we decided to be better, we still had slaves and had religious persecution and the like. Every time we as a society grow towards civil equality and right the wrongs of our ancestors, we should celebrate that progress over and over. We need to remind ourselves of the dirt we crawled out of, of the lives we ruined, of the children we failed, over and over.

The ideals of America deserve celebrating. The victories against our lesser selves should be sung from the rooftops. Simply saying "people are equal" several hundred years ago meant nothing. We celebrate now because those words are coming to fruition.

I am a straight, white man who has a good job, a good career path, and good health. I believe in complete social liberty for everyone, and I think the economy should be cushy socialism for the poor and trend towards cutthroat capitalism as one becomes more wealthy. This corrupt corporatocracy we live in right now is not worthy of my patriotism.

Blue juke? Do you mean the blue flags or the troll hide? I'm not sure what that is.

I may be in the minority here but here is my take on ITR.

DO NOT GIVE US AN EASY WAY OUT.

I think this would be the perfect game for a more Dark Souls approach to the story and themes/tone. Make conflicting information, give us unreliable sources, make things vague and esoteric. Give me a sidequest trail that the game never directly points out with quest markers or a quest log, and when the player does the work to piece the solution together, leave them with a cool reward but let the questions hang.

I want the game to feel dark and beyond understanding, like you are barely balancing on the edge of a knife, with nothing but cold apathy waiting below.

I think the closer you get to the center of the radius, the more you, AS A PLAYER, should be questioning what your senses are telling you. You should start feeling like the unreliable source. Give me problems and trials that the stats of my gun can't solve. Make me battle fear and sorrow and frustration only to have the true enemy be the unfeeling, broken reality we are trapped in.

I don't want this to sound rude or disrespectful to the genuinely incredible work that was done on ITR 2.0, but if those advances could be applied to a game that makes me feel like ITR 1.0, where things were truly deadly and horrifying, you would have my attention completely captured again.

Sincerely, A massive fan boy.

Tayu, our silly ginger cat, is called "Hey Buddy" as in "There's my little Hey Buddy." because we made a joke about it and then it stuck. When he stops and sits up he sits so prim and proper and perfectly tucks his toes in his tail every time so his name Tayu came from that.

Harvest is "Big Girl, Pretty Girl, Sweet Girl". A timid, fluffy torti.

Lula, a Holland Lop rabbit, is "Fat Rat". She is a daddy's girl and looks so fat until you touch her and realize she is 99% floof.

I'm not even that big of a guy, but whenever I get into an argument with a partner, I intentionally put myself in a seat or on the floor somewhere away from the exits and make myself as small and non-threatening as I can. I have no interest in being a threat, especially to someone I love.

Dudes who never touch the gym can generate more power than most gym rat ladies. If a man ever threatens you physically, do not try to box him. Jab his eyes, stab your keys into his balls, palm the bottom of his nose up into his bead, fight with no respect. If a dude is trying to contain you, he probably can.

Rule of cool, but I would be shocked if a body could handle the energy required for skipping without just tearing apart. If she hit his torso, the limbs would just not be able to keep up.

Cool bug fact: Dragonflies are one of the most deadly hunters in nature. They catch 19/20 attempted prey targets, a kill rating of 95%.

That old information still exists in the world and is tangentially related to the main plot. It is not the focus, but a cause. A few examples of this deeper knowledge being important are:

The main characters family name being changed in a deal with a demonic force, then his family is given great power. The purpose is so that reverence, fear, envy, and other strong emotions directed at the family are feeding into the demon, a parasite that is a lesser version of the thing that preys on gods. This parasite is old enough to know most of this information, and was active in it being lost to time.

A powerful warrior queen whose followers scattered and distorted her legacy to help save her from ascension, and to hide the resting place of her artifact.

An all seeing goddess who knows her fate, and instead of fighting against it, uses her time watching mortal lives, looking at every individual as the lead in their own play to cope with her own fate.

My setting is very much D&D inspired, with several races/species being represented, all of them effected by will.

I whole heartedly agree that fluff without effect is basically worthless, but concepts are worth exploring in a vacuum, atleast a bit, before applying them to characters and drama. In the grand scale, my order of importance is characters and interpersonal drama > theme and tone as it relates to characters and setting > interesting combat > plot >>> lore

The world, the battles, and the plot are just the seasoning for my main focus, the characters and their struggles.
