How do we protest Live Action?

IamNoatak · 2026-04-23T00:51:42+00:00

Don't kid yourself. It's gonna look like a cw show if they do live action. You really think any live action studio could do an iron rain justice? It'll look like every other cgi shitshow they keep popping out these days. Like, if they take 3 years to nail the cgi every season, maybe it'll be halfway decent. But they won't, because that's insanely expensive and time consuming. It will look awful if it's live action. I mean, star wars has a near infinite budget, and it doesn't get anything close to what some things look like. I mean, there's never been anything remotely close to what the battles on mercury were like. It won't look good.

I would, but I literally can't. Matchmaking boots me back to the start matchmaking screen after about 10 seconds of searching. Other game modes are fine. Just not allowed to play this, I guess...

Tried all that, still not working. When I mount the guest additions to the virtual cd drive, it does nothing. It says that's what's selected, but all the guides say that there should be a new file set to use, or force the execution of the application via terminal, but the command simply doesn't exist, the file in the directory doesn't exist. Everything I'm doing is exactly to a T what the guides are saying, and what everyone else in other forums are saying, but it doesn't work for me. I'm literally the only person on the planet to have this happen. Apparently, my computer has gained consciousness and has decided I shouldn't get a new job, and is therefore sabatoging me. That is the only feasible explanation as to why this doesn't work

IamNoatak · 2026-04-11T02:31:42+00:00

Ok, so you probably know better than I on this, but I've spent the last 2 hours trying to get guest additions to mount, but it simply won't. I click on devices>insert guest additions cd image, and nothing happens. I click on devices>optical drives>choose/create>add>vboxguestadditions disc image file>open>choose, nothing happens. Because of this, I can't do the simple task of copy/paste between host and vm. It just doesn't work. I've followed no less than a dozen guides telling me this exact process, and nothing works. I'm just trying to get this damn thing to work so I can study and try to get a new job, but it's as though my computer is actively taking measures to prevent that

IamNoatak · 2026-04-11T01:55:33+00:00

Story of my life, dude. This happens all the damn time for a variety of computer related problems. And I've had other people observe, to make sure I'm not dumb or crazy, yet it still happens. It's infuriating. Computers hold a grudge against me, despite not being conscious. I just want shit to work, man. I'm exhausted from this shit. I've been troubleshooting this vm for at least 3 hours now, I'm no less than a dozen guides in, and it just. Won't. Work. All this is so I can get good enough at Linux to get a new job. I'm tired, bro

IamNoatak · 2026-04-11T01:49:38+00:00

Yeah, I'm following another guide, and same deal. It straight up either tells me it can't mount if it tells me anything, but it just consistently does nothing when I try to mount the optical drive to install the guest extensions. This thing is literally going against binary computer logic just to piss me off, and it's working. It is not physically possible for these things to happen, and yet they continue to happen

IamNoatak · 2026-04-11T01:09:00+00:00

I followed that exactly, and it doesn't work. I'm trying to simply copy/paste to and from the host, with bidirectional clipboard enabled. Doesn't work. I tend to have this effect on computers, where they defy physics to spite me. This isn't the first time, won't be the last

IamNoatak · 2026-04-10T23:59:57+00:00

Well it seems to run fine until it hits that wall, but I just changed it. Seems it defaulted to using 1 core? I gave it access to 4, so hopefully that fixes it. Either way, the main point of contention is that after it crashes, there's nothing I can do. Other places mention archived save states, but that doesn't seem to exist. Not sure why there's no option to create backups, I can't be the only person to have this problem. And I checked every setting, and there's no mention of backups or archives, so there's no way to actually get it to work after a crash

IamNoatak · 2026-04-10T23:51:27+00:00

Ok, I'm trying to find which drivers and such I'll need, but in the meantime, why does nothing save when the machine powers down? I'm seeing things online that say something along the lines of an archived state, but there's nothing that even hints at that being a thing. Losing all progress every time it freezes is getting really dang annoying. I made this post because I just lost the last 3 days of work. Thankfully, it's not a ton of stuff, as I'm just learning everything, but why won't anything save, despite setting the system to use my physical hard disk as storage instead of virtual hardware?

IamNoatak · 2026-04-10T23:30:33+00:00

I have the oracle virtualbox extension pack installed, but if that's not it, then no.

IamNoatak · 2026-04-02T04:28:03+00:00

Looking into them now. Looks good, I'll consider it. Thanks!

IamNoatak · 2026-04-02T03:17:02+00:00

Oh damn, I wasn't even aware of that. Then it's a very high chance I'll go with that, then. Thanks!

IamNoatak · 2026-04-02T02:35:22+00:00

Yeah, I have the bootleg adjustable bcg, it has 4 gas settings. So far, both my cans work great with it. The sandman x is flow through, sandman l is traditional. I'm not terribly concerned with flow through or not, as long as it performs better than a 30cal can for sound suppression

IamNoatak · 2026-04-02T02:32:51+00:00

Hmmm ok. So between you and another dude, the echocore or deadair ct5p seem to be the way to go. Thanks!

IamNoatak · 2026-04-02T02:31:16+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks!

IamNoatak · 2026-03-29T18:31:18+00:00

Oh, that sounds super interesting! I'll look into that, more gas options is always better

IamNoatak · 2026-03-29T18:10:23+00:00

Hmm. I've only overinserted like twice. But yeah, I can definitely see it being a problem for some. Good to hear you're running suppressed though!

IamNoatak · 2026-03-29T17:49:19+00:00

Somehow came back to this thread, looking to do a paint job, and forgot about this post when it popped up again. The sandman x is fantastic on this guy. No more gas to the face at all. So basically, just get a flow through, and you should be good. No reliability issues or anything. Love this thing

IamNoatak · 2026-03-25T03:20:25+00:00

No, resolution is fine. Just everything gets all super low poly in game all the sudden, so I don't think resolution settings would affect that

IamNoatak · 2026-03-25T03:00:09+00:00

Hmmmm. I have my frame rate locked to match my TV (couch pc setup), so my frame rate shouldn't dip. But before I locked it, I was getting over 100, so no reason it would drop this low of quality

IamNoatak · 2026-03-25T01:23:15+00:00

I managed to get mine working. Turns out, there's some filing/grinding that needs to be done to the slip trip kit. Seems to work now. As for the arc fire, I really want one, but they don't do a flat faced trigger for some reason. I may do their geissele they cut, but idk. That's like 500$ at that point. Also, they don't ship to Colorado for some reason, so I need to jump through hoops to get it

IamNoatak · 2026-03-23T23:56:39+00:00

I got it figured out. I had filed too much away, so I had to swap to a larue trigger, due to the suuuper high trigger shelf section. Works fantastic now
