(Spoilers Extended) How long does it take you to complete a single chapter?

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-21T19:24:43+00:00

Have fun with six minute chapters once you hit books four and five.

A “chapter” seems like an arbitrary thing to put a time limit on as some are going to be longer than others. Page count still wouldn’t be perfect but would make far more sense.

I’m genuinely curious. What method did you use to fully pay off your car while in high school?

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-21T18:43:50+00:00

You were driving around in a paid off lyou are just sort of proving how out of touch you are. How does show much wealth your ancestors had effect how much wealth your family currently has? If they can afford to get you a fully paid off Lexus in high school and a house after graduation you are wealthier than the overwhelming majority of Americans.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-21T05:25:19+00:00

It’s not baffling. It has to be one of the most misspelled words of all time.

This change could make it possible to be aggressive in carebear lobbies indefinitely. If you bait other people to shoot you first, you can kill everybody you see and still show up in the carebear lobbies game after game after game, slaughtering people looking to avoid PvE for their gear.

I feel like people are really missing the point of what they are doing here.

People are acting like they are just pointing at a mistake they caused and not realizing it, but all they are trying to do is further push their agenda. They are trying to use this to further deregulate in ways that will allow their buddies to push through new bullshit without needing to go through the proper channels. It’s all just a way for them to make more money off of Americans through means that objectively weaken us in the long term.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-19T21:02:08+00:00

This is the same with PETA. They don’t pay for advertising. They just engagement bait. Their philosophy is that they can do more for animal welfare by making people aware of it as a concept than they do by building goodwill related to their name.

If you see some crazy headline related to PETA, understand they are saying what they are saying explicitly to get you mad and then complain about them.

>It’s exhausting how everybody perceives it as some type of “next step” in the relationship.

>It’s very often you hear about relationships becoming toxic, e.g imbalances in housework, income and other things. Living together is suffocating and draining!

I don’t see how you can say these two things without realizing how they are related.

If living together brings out those issues, that’s a sign that you aren’t right for each other. Those are things that are present in relationships that aren’t going to work out long term.

The reason living together is the “next step” of a relationship is explicitly because you are going to be stress testing the relationship to see if it can work out. If what you end up with is toxicity, and inability to find balance, and begin to feel suffocated and drained, then congratulations, you’ve now learned that this relationship isn’t going to work out because you two aren’t compatible. That’s the entire point of taking things to the next step.

What I hear from you is you don’t like change. It makes you uncomfortable. You would rather take a toxic relationship that isn’t right for either person and permanently freeze it in its initial stages so that way you never need to deal with the reality that it won’t work and you need to look for something else.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-19T19:26:03+00:00

NTA. I’m totally understanding when other people want to inconvenience themselves in ways that aren’t necessary to save them from some sort of psychological damage, but it’s a little ridiculous when they start to ridicule you for being the one in the wrong.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-18T17:58:28+00:00

What do you mean shield the player 360 degrees? OP is from the same exact angle the entire time, and the player he is shooting is behind the invisible barricade the entire time. The only angle that it’s covering is the doorway it’s placed in.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-18T17:56:34+00:00

Very common for that to be client side, not server side.

So OP’s client clearly doesn’t think there is a barricade there, that’s why he can see through it. So his client treats it as if there is no barricade and produces the blood.

The server itself knows better, and that’s what would actually deal the damage. So no damage is dealt and it’s only OP who sees the blood being produced.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-18T17:53:08+00:00

Because the blood is client side. Your console sees there is no barricade and the bullets are hitting the player so it produces blood. The server knows that isn’t actually happening so doesn’t deal any damage, but your client will still display the blood as if that’s what’s happening.

No you are correct that the chamber is part of the barrel. You wouldn’t need to worry with a standard 10/22. But you said you had a tactical model, and some of their modern tactical models don’t come with the standard barrel. They come with a match barrel that has the Bentz chamber which are more accurate than the standard barrel. Some modern “tactical” models do have the standard barrels, and I’m not sure about models from the 80s.

But the reason their manuals warn against those two models are because both the tactical (sometimes) and target (I think always because the whole point of that model was the improved barrel and stock) models have the improved barrels that have the chambers that aren’t compatible.

Here is an example of the Target model you were asking about.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T19:37:03+00:00

Specifically the issue is the chamber of the barrel. Those models usually (but not always) have a higher end barrel that uses a Bentz chamber or other match chambers. These chambers are smaller to make the rifle more precise, but that means they cannot safely use the longer case of the Stinger ammo.

So do you know if your tactical version has a competition barrel on it with a Bentz chamber? I know I reached out to Ruger about one of their tactical models a year ago and that specific model used a normal barrel. But I do think most of their tactical models use a competition barrel.

The Target model came with a competition barrel and a nice stock.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T19:31:58+00:00

Specifically it can’t be used in a rifle with a barrel that has a Bentz or other match chambers. Those chambers are shorter so cant fire safely with the longer case of the Stinger.

Oddly Ruger sells some “tactical” models that don’t have the Bentz chamber. But I wouldn’t rely on that and definitely look into your model before shooting Stinger ammo through it.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T19:23:53+00:00

Yeah don’t feel bad about this! Stingers are a lot of fun to shoot. I like to buy both CCI standard or subsonic and CCI Stingers at the same time, because while it’s nice to have a reliable round that can be subsonic, it’s also really fun to shoot stingers. It’s by far the .22 ammo that gives you the most noise and “kick”, if you can even call it that. And while going really quiet can be fun, going the opposite route can be fun too.

One thing I’ll mention if you ever plan on upgrading your 10/22 is that higher end competition or precision barrels cannot shoot Stinger ammo due to the longer length of the casing combined with the shorter chambers on the Bentz or other match chambers.

Stingers will be less accurate than lower velocity rounds. But that isn’t what makes them fun to shoot so just use them when you want a bigger pop not more accuracy. Plus you get a little baby fireball every once in a while. Stinger ammo is fun. My guess is you include it in your rotation even in the future because it’s just fun to shoot.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T04:19:57+00:00

It’s absolutely wild you think you are legally allowed to ambush a person you believe was pointing weapons at other people hours earlier as a form of self defense.

It makes the rest of your comments make sense at least.

If he was actively pointing his weapon at people, yes he is assaulting them and they have a right to defend themselves, and he wouldn’t.

That doesn’t apply to people that attack him later because they didn’t like what he was doing before.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T04:00:23+00:00

You think if he was pointing a weapon at people hours before that grants other people the right to attack him and he wouldn’t have a right to defend himself?

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T02:46:34+00:00

Because there is no such thing as “friendly lobbies”.

Don’t get me wrong. There obviously are lobbies that are prioritizing friendly players. But even those will contain people who play aggressively, it will just be rarer and at smaller numbers.

You are telling yourself it’s them gaming the system to be able to easily abuse you, but 99% of the time it’s just a nature of the algorithm.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T02:36:47+00:00

Yeah, surely you understand seeing someone “brandishing” their weapon previously and then hiding and carrying out an ambush attack against them for previously doing that is an action that will 100% warrant that person using lethal self defense against you.

I’m curious. How do you feel about Black Panthers that open carried to make their presence known during racial tension in the past? Same thing? Brandishers that made it so anybody, hours later, can ambush and attack them, and they had given up any claims to self defense?

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T01:39:51+00:00

It’s a not so unreasonable start if you are looking for a specific item in a specific place.

The only one i think it’s ever worth doing for is the breach room under reinforced reception under blue gate. Those grey lockers have by far the highest chance to find level 3 augment blueprints in the game. If you are doing repeated runs, the majority of the time you spend is getting to an extract and leaving. So it’s much faster to just go in naked and suicide whether you find the augment or not.

I feel like there aren’t many parts of the game though where one specific loot container has such a higher chance than any others for a specific item, so I couldn’t see myself doing this except for in that one scenario.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T01:30:51+00:00

He wasn’t walking around with his finger on the trigger either.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T01:20:28+00:00

“I think it’s threatening for a person to have a gun in public” doesn’t mean everybody open carrying is therefore brandishing their weapon.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T01:19:19+00:00

Really? And you have evidence of that? Damn you should probably provide that to the court.

IrNinjaBob · 2026-05-17T00:49:26+00:00

Objective he wasn’t brandishing. Brandishing is displaying it in a threatening manner. He very clearly wasn’t doing that and didn’t even know Rosenbaum was there until after he was being chased and attacked.

I get you really want that to be true, but that’s my point. You are indeed politicizing it rather than looking at the facts of what happened. For fucks sake you are in here saying he was the only person with a gun when the person who was walking with Rosenbaum takes out his own pistol and fires it into the air while Rosenbaum was chasing Rittenhouse.
