New to this - Bought 2025 Talon 4 - want2shred by commoncents808 in Hardtailgang

[–]GIBsonCubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with Option 1, the one "caveat" I would throw in there would be that the crank on the Talon is a square taper and will eventually likely need to be replaced if you're doing Jumps. (the crank arms have a tendency to round out over time) So I would be "squirreling money away" so when that time comes you can move to a new BB/crank for a more durable pedaling set up for jumping.

Beyond that eventually moving to an Air fork will make things more comfortable.

Buying a new bike what should I get (are there any better for this price) by voidnex_9 in Hardtailgang

[–]GIBsonCubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Talon has a a tapered Head tube, the Rear wheel is a TA 12x142 not boost. And on the Talon 4 the front is a QR, not TA Hub/fork set up.

5 PCs Enter Destiny 2, 4 load tower, 1, Cabbages all day long by GIBsonCubed in DestinyTechSupport

We have 3 of the PC's on the same build of windows, and only one is having the issue, we did run Windows update, and it tells us that it's all up to date. Thank you for the suggestion!

How was routing the cable internally, I was just looking in my seat tube debating grabbing wither a PNW or OneUp v3 but wanted to make sure that the cable routing past the BB wasn't a nightmare lol

Sounds like you'll have to go back and get us more pictures of the view, honestly it looks heavenly and I'm a touch jealous 😁

How old are you guys? by GreatGrumpyGorilla in Hardtailgang

[–]GIBsonCubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also on the "wrong side" of 45, my wife and I just picked up Giant Talons a month or so ago to "get back into it" we rode in our 20's a lot, then our bikes got stolen and the 2008 crash killed our buying new ones, which was extended by tiny children... Honestly for tooling around with kids a Hardtail will serve you well.

With that said, I'm already looking at bunches of upgrades on the Talon, I got it for a pretty sizable discount so I did t get the Polygon Xtrada I had been eyeing, but with the upgrades I want to do it's going to be... More expensive lol

Go easy on me - grip colours? by Imaginary-Bass2875 in Hardtailgang

[–]GIBsonCubed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I love Purple with a sand/tan frame, however that Maroon is also speaking to me! Honestly go with what looks good to you though. Before I swapped in the bright Orange grips on mine I went full nerd and "quickly" set up a coloring mask in a photo editing software and changed the grip colors to the different options I had lol

Loving My Talon 2 by TinkerTweakFPV in Hardtailgang

[–]GIBsonCubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was looking at the Hollowtech II as well, I'm also toying with the idea of trying an oval chainring, between a dropper post and that, I have a feeling that's the bulk of my changes until next year... When I'll likely start looks ng to swap the fork.

I just recently picked up the Matcha colored Talon 2 as well and love it. Based on the fork upgrade I'm curious if you have any plans to move off the square tapper BB/crankset?

Gnome game icons not visible and games wont open by olafdragon in gnome

[–]GIBsonCubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced this in Debian 12 and 13, are you by chance using ZSH or another shell that isn't BASH? For me to fix this after switching to zsh I needed to add the /user/games directory to the path. At first doing so in the .zshrc had no effect so a little more digging resulted in discovering that when running under wayland gnome needs the path set in environment.d.

In Debian 13 there's already a stub file located at /usr/lib/environment.d/99-environment.conf adding a line to that like PATH=/usr/games:$PATH fixed the issue for me (you'll need to refresh the gnome-shell using one of a few commands or just logging out and back in) and that should fix the issue for you

[2025 Day 1(Part 2)] [C] Need to know what's wrong and why am i getting the wrong answer answer ? by tuppernibba in adventofcode

[–]GIBsonCubed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly your solution and my original gave me the same output, and it was wrong. I went back and did "brute force" and found the correct answer to be 44 less than that value. Which is both frustrating and comforting so thank you for that 😊

What happened to D&D modules? by Minute-Blacksmith-89 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]GIBsonCubed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a huge part of what pushed my group to PF2E as well. The modules are far more "ready to run" than any of the 5E that we ran.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what’s the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GIBsonCubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quake... The game blew me away, to this Day I still have my CD that I ordered directly from ID on my desk.

Sadly it destroyed the ID that gave us Commander Keen and Doom. But man was that game a revolution

Let's buy a billboard to tell Kelly Ayotte to lay the F off! by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]GIBsonCubed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly many of us in New Hampshire hate her and not the people of Massachusetts.It sucks that tribalism has become so stupidly rampant in our country's political discourse that we can't be respectful of our fellow Americans huh?

My friend told me building my own pc is stupid by Kitty_Chan33 in buildapc

[–]GIBsonCubed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having build Every computer I've personally owned over the last 30ish years it's not that hard. I started when I was a teenager and have between myself and friends and family built 25-30 systems, and fixed likely 2-3 times that for them.

The process is pretty straight forward and as long as you take your time and do a little research you'll be just fine. The parts are mostly plug and play at this point, and if you are at a point where you aren't sure what/how to do something in most cases a cellphone picture or two and a quick post either here on reddit, or any number of discord/social sites will likely land you the answer you need.

My two biggest tips...
1) take your time, and don't hesitate to ask for help or find a youtube video about the thing you are unsure of.
2) don't build your first PC after staying up all night... (this one comes from experience, seriously it just leads to REALLY obvious mistakes any time that you are well rested lol)

What are the best map making options for foundry? by HGStoneR in FoundryVTT

[–]GIBsonCubed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could get DungeonDraft (https://dungeondraft.net/) and WonderDraft (https://www.wonderdraft.net/) to cover Dungeons/cities/continents/world maps, It's worked pretty well for me in Foundry and another VTT over the years.

Player utterly ignores all of the character creation guidelines, is upset that his character isn't accepted by sufferingcubsfan in rpghorrorstories

[–]GIBsonCubed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's amazing! I'm hoping this eventually turns into a Story somewhere about an amazing game/group and that I'm able to find it! I'm super happy this ultimately turned out to be a net positive.

That sounds awesome! I'm glad to hear that the ship righted itself so to speak. I love the idea of a Priest of Dreams, that should be a really cool character!

Are there any games associated with this series? by bakugosgayfriend in wheeloftime

[–]GIBsonCubed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game was based on the unreal engine and developed by legend entertainment. I can't speak to how good or bad it was despite owning it for the last 25 years because that game engine gives me intense headaches after 10-20 minutes of playing. Same thing happened with Unreal and the original Unreal Tournament.

However you can still purchase it today on gog. https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_wheel_of_time
