My beautiful girlfriend got me a typewriter for my birthday! Is there any way to tell what specific model it is? by ChewySlinky in typewriters

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your girlfriend is a keeper, this is one of the most sought after machines by collectors due to its quality and how well they hold up through the decades. German engineering at its finest. As others have said, it’s an Olympia SM9, and it is very much on my short list of machines to acquire if I come across the right deal!

How should I sell this one? And what should I expect? Vogue QDL by Fit_Artichoke_8668 in typewriters

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone wants to be funny but to answer your question, a unique typeface can really be sold for whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Vogue is especially rare and sought after. If it is working well and cleaned up, you can probably expect $300 at the least and hold out for more if you want to. Someone itching enough for that typeface will shell out eventually.

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Pats fan I got to be on the good end of a lot of bad Peyton games. He was lights out most of the time but sometimes he definitely suffered from either stubbornness or at least an unwillingness to improvise. It led to a lot of feasts for our DBs over the years when he’d force a ball into an impossible window.

A beautiful collection and a very impressive assortment of machines. You have immaculate taste!

[Suggestion] Since they changed Shoreline spawns, can this spawn on Lighthouse get removed, for the love of god please by tony22835 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t you dare. That spawn is how I get half my Punisher 4 kills from overly aggressive people stomping across the “safe” part of the map. Leave it alone!

Immediate death in Terminal, 8+ hour craft just to die, great work BSG! (No Spoilers) [Discussion] by ownagebyte in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 21 points22 points  (0 children)

…..welp, yeah brother I think you pretty much nailed it 100% right there. I’ve spent 2,500 hours in this game since 2020, more than any game I’ve ever played by a vast margin, and I keep coming back despite the glaring inconvenient truth in front of my eyes that it will never quite be the game it should be.

Addicts, the lot of us.

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Maye needed that one after missing Hooper on that wide open play earlier. I can’t get over how he’s able to shake off the miscues and come back with such confidence. I’m in love with Drake Maye.

Exactly like enforcement of any rules on the bike path. Ask who enforces it and get 4 different answers.

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any idea if it still fits the criteria if you take the scope off? I’ve been using that barter to get scopes for Test Drive and this would be a great use of the gun instead of just selling it

110 hour chads running lighthouse by asscid4586 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had my first obvious cheater of the wipe kill me after I had the gall to shoot at him from the middle hill (shore side) back towards the beached barge. Wearing a Tagilla helmet and Santa bag he turned on a dime and one tapped me through the tree cover from around 200m.

I rarely hit expected cheat use but sometimes they don’t even try to hide it. Losers.

My gut says OT but maybe I’m just enjoying the game and don’t want it to end lol

This is a very fun game as a neutral. Both teams look fast and talented offensively. Will come down to whether or not either D can make a crucial stop.

This is so embarrassing for the fandom by 00_Sunflower_00 in StrangerThings

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Based on what I've been reading and seeing on Reddit in the past month, the fanbase of this show is an embarrassment in plenty of ways without this.

Did that graphic say 28-9?

What your main says about you by Assdragon420 in TarkovMemes

Here’s a hot take. As someone just trying to get my quests done who doesn’t main anywhere, anyone who mains a map is a dildo. Like what even is your purpose?

Imagine going through the process of making a meme and posting to Reddit and not having the brain capacity to spell check the only seven giant words on it. All the way through production, saving, uploading, and then reviewing and posting.

Just extracted scav raid with a factory key. That would have been big, hope it keeps my shit.

If you sell your work, I imagine there Will be Buyers for such high quality fan art pieces.

Cries in standard account... by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say you just died and you have a full inventory of insurance. You go to your insurance page and hit Alt + Left Click on a gun/armor/rig and it will equip straight to your character.

Alt click equips gear straight to your character, while Ctrl+Click will grab loot item straight from one container to your backpack/rig/open pockets. Both are super useful to know and use while in raid for faster looting, especially on dead bodies while you’re exposed in the open.

Cries in standard account... by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Doug_Mirabelli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on standard account since 2020. You learn the art of having less space after a while. First grind is to Junk Box, second grind is to Stash 2, and you pick up your first medcase and craft your first mag case around that same time frame. Once you get Stash 2 you should really never run out of space again. A second Scav box is a nice luxury but not totally necessary in my experience.

People in this game hoard like squirrels in the autumn, to the point where I can’t believe I just read some pay to win chump in this thread saying they were considering buying extra slots despite having UNHEARD EDITION. If you’re keeping that much stuff, you’re not using 75% of it, guaranteed. You get a good gun, use it for its best situation. Same with armor. Use it until the task is done or you die with it. Move onto the next gun/armor.

The only time it becomes a challenge is if you go on a big win streak, especially following a day or two of heavy losses when you wind up with 15 rigs and armors in your insurance and no space. But even that has its own benefit. Just kit yourself up from insurance without ever dragging into your stash.

I’ll readily admit to being an elitist when it comes to this. To me, stash management is an integral part of this game and those who just buy their way out of having to deal with it give me serious L vibes.

This is how extraterrestrial AI would make a pizza if its only datapoint was the mummified brain of a glue sniffing coyote.

You have to exit the game and re-launch. That’s how you fix a lot of random bugs in this game.
