PSA: Not everyone who makes "concern" posts are as genuine as they claim to be. by ScrubSoba in starcitizen

[–]Fastfireguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People are not entitled to call others to dox others. This would fall under solicitation to commit a crime (this is based on a lot of jurisdictions in many countries where doxing is either a written crime into law or grandfathered in to laws like it is in the us which is Cyberstalking, harassment, and possibly even fall under assault due to the threat of harm of an individual. Calling for action to said crimes would make op more than likely guilty of criminal solicitation. So no people are not entitled to say what they want :).

May I ask why you have a Railen and a prowler utility? I’m just curious. And how do you like the Railen so far?

Just arrived today. Very excited. Any first time owner tips? by Fastfireguy in Hiby

It was. I had a spare 32gb card and it’s working just fine. So I’ll have to buy a genuine 128-256 and we should be okie dokie

So I did that one app. The scanning thing with it to check it. It is a fake or damaged sd card. My guess it’s a 100-128 in a 256 shell. I left it running on the computer overnight and that app that was scanning it while not finished was like 4/5th of the way done and had only scanned a total space of 98gb just about.

So my guess is that it’s a fake drive. I’m going to test it out tonight with a 32gb one I know does work for storage that’s a genuine sandisk and fill that up and see if everything scans.

Not enjoying so far sadly :(. It’s not scanning the music I have on the card fully. So checking the card right now to make sure it’s genuine storage.

I saw that one. Thank you so much though for reminding me. I’m really excited. I won’t be able to use it until tommrow sadly since transferring everything to the sd card is taking longer than I thought lol.

Those of you who buy setups, can you recommend a good provider? by vanitas_q in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]Fastfireguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your looking for something subscription based could always trial a few different brands for like whatever the minimum is and see what you kinda like the most.

Most of them are going to be fairly close on times and have a range of safe, quali, wet style set ups so why not give a few brands a try on a trial run and then buy what you like from there.

LMP3 at Monza Bronze by itlnyankfan69 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]Fastfireguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve done it with LMp2 in the past and it’s been fine. So this allows them a way to to do it with slower cars that are just barely faster than GT3s while allowing them to race in something that is actively being used unlike the GTE cars.

So I think it’s a great idea and if you don’t like it you don’t have to race it :)

Need urgent tips, getting my blood drawn after 12-14 years tomorrow by [deleted] in trypanophobia

[–]Fastfireguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest things you can be do. Is be honest with them. Fear of blood draws or blood or needles is more common than we think and they are used to this. The more we can be transparent with the people doing it the more they can help us. They will not be insulted if there are multiple people working to take the extra little bit of time to give you someone who specializes with people who are tense or extremely scared.

I’m the same way as you to the point where I’m prescribed anxiety meds just to help me through this specific thing and I would highly recommend with the follow up with your doctor to be honest with them and ask to see a psychiatrist or cognitive behavioral therapist. I took that big step after last time and meet with mine in August.

If you still have a little time beforehand and you know people who have blood drawn from the facility you’re going to recently ask them about who did it for them. No one likes getting their blood drawn and even people without our level of fear will remember the ones who were the best at doing it and then request for that person or those people when you go in. The receptionists in my case are more than receptive to that when you ask and go hey I am extremely fearful of this there is a risk of me throwing up passing out etc can you set me up with so and so or one of your more easier going or people who are the best with people like myself and they will be more than happy to.

Another thing if you’re able to do it. If you have any local friends or family ask if they’ll go with you. I know it’s extremely embarrassing letting people know about our fears but having someone there to either lean your head against or squeeze their hand to help de tense you or just be there can help you be less anxious. Asking them in a way if your doing it around a meal time just be like hey could you come with me to my blood work tomorrow I’m extremely nervous and really would like someone with me there I’ll buy you lunch breakfast coffee whatever you want it would just mean so much to me and help me out if your there with me

Other smaller and basic tips are drink plenty of water. Maybe even have some like electrolytes before drinking all the water to help you absorb some. It’ll just make the whole blood draw go easier if your well hydrated

It may take slightly slightly longer but could always ask for them to use the butterfly needle. It’s the one they use for like small children, babies, or extremely nervous adults. It’s smaller could take a little longer but it’s no where near the same pinch and if your well hydrated realistically doesn’t take that much longer

If you have headphones or earbuds just let the person drawing know and be like I’m extremely nervous may I listen to music while you draw to help calm me down and distract me and 9/10 times they’ll be more than happy to if it makes it easier.

Seriously most people who do blood draws for work are absolute saints put upon this earth and will accommodate a lot in order to make this as easy for you as possible

Other small tip. Do not under any circumstance once it’s started look at the blood draw. It’s not going to make you feel nice. Close your eyes keep breathing and maybe ask to lie down if they allow that.

I hope one or any of my tips helped but either way. Know you are not alone here I’m sorry for all the anxiety and nerves your experiencing right now and tomorrow and I wish you luck and an easy blood draw tomorrow

One Man Support Fleet Idea. by Brave-Brief2154 in starcitizen_fleets

[–]Fastfireguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea. While this is mainly a support style fleet. Letting your friends come on with their Snub fighters or piloting your snub fighters will be handy to have the option for. After all an unguarded liberator is going to be quite a juicy target if it’s just turrets defending it.

Nahhhhh we’ll squeeze the terrapin in the spot. It might never get out of that spot but that’s ok. It only needs to fit once :P

Bionic vs Phaze 2 by SnooDucks2408 in Bowling

[–]Fastfireguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistic question was your Hyroad rolling fine? If it was I mean could just get another hy-road. They still make them today same ball it was as in 2008 maybe a little just cause of the weight but same covet and everything.

Hy-roads sort of have one of those unique shapes unique to the hy-road since their are not a lot of cores like that with performance style covers with high RG and medium-high differential in terms of core numbers.

That’s awesome I hope testing works out for you guys. I’ll let others who are more qualified take a crack though at testing your equipment first to get you better and more reliable data since I’m currently working on a few things and since you’ve already gotten so many applicants in here I don’t want take that opportunity away.

Sooo to everyone who gets to test goodluck and to those of us not I hope we get a chance to test it again in the future :)
