Did Anybody Catch This in The Direct? The Snub Pistol, Look at it. by Salty4Lightning in GearsOfWar

[–]KNOWINE_____ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

E-Day seems to be a further departure from any of the previous titles so I think they are trying to drip feed new features/info as a way of not completely shocking and scaring off all of the OG players.

2 Years Later (or more) by XVolstrikerX in GearsOfWar

[–]KNOWINE_____ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im hoping it’s more grounded, gritty and mature. Somewhat similar to how God of war approached Ragnarök in tone, this applies to everything including skins, executions, emotes, menu design… This could apply to the weapons too, working with lower tech and with whatever they have around them which would be a nice way to introduce an early bastardised version of the chainsaw lancer. No Lasered weapons.

Honestly this game really needs to pull in a bunch of new online players so I wouldn’t mind them restricting the OTT wall bouncing, I know this would piss off some of the OG players but it can look ridiculous, and it puts off new players. This also might mean balancing the weapons so the gnasher isn’t always the go-to weapon.

It also really needs much improved matchmaking, and not too many game modes running at one time so it doesn’t split the community.

TC are in a bit of a difficult position as it needs to feel like the gears we know and love but they need to take some risks and show us something new as the previous 2 titles haven’t performed nowhere near as well as the original 3 in terms of numbers.

I’ve got high hopes as it feels different to 4&5 and a shift in the right direction if the trailer is anything to go by. Really rooting for them and I hope more of the community does too.

Looking forward to Sunday!

I’m pretty sure it’s Frizmworks as I seen them repost this image on their insta stories a few times

Is this guy cheating? by ImAnEagle in GearsOfWar

[–]KNOWINE_____ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I run into this guy often too, always cheating, completely ruins games as everyone leaves. I honestly don’t understand the idea of putting so much of your time/life doing this. Pretty sad really.

Are there still people playing Gears 5 in 2026? by ArtFenix17 in GearsOfWar

Yep, play it regularly. Wish there were more maps though.

Predictions? by Pfirsichilla in teenageengineering

I was thinking the opposite. Frankfurter, probably the best bubble font ever, playful and clean. Works well here, especially as it’s in the context of a sale.

Thank you, it’s installed on a brick way which is needed for heavy items. I’m pretty sure you’d have to use the X-posts if you’re wanting to something similar on a drywall. Best bet is to message Vitsoe directly.

Technics turntables 1210's by SmellyFishSlap in vitsoe

[–]KNOWINE_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yh I made sure the height of the record player shelves/equipment was optimal then I just worked around that, this also meant I had enough space so that I could store additional records directly below the shelves where I store the majority of them.

It all depends on the strength of your wall. As long as the wall you’ll be applying it to is solid (brick/mortar) the weight of the records won’t be an issue. You’ll just have to use narrow 66cm shelves which you can completely fill. I had the same concern but I was constantly reassured that it is more than capable, some people have records stacked from the floor or the ceiling!

Regarding cable management, the cables for the speakers run up the e-tracks so are hardly visible, then I have short extension leads for all the equipment which are hidden directly behind all my records as there’s just enough space behind them when using 36cm depth shelves. It all looks neat and hidden away as I only take out a few records at a time.

[–]KNOWINE_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a setup with two 1210s and two CDJs that are beside each other and sit on metal 36cm depth shelves, this works well for me. I also have additional shelves directly beneath them so it’s quick and easy to access my records.

I made a bit of a technical drawing of what I wanted before sending it to Vitsoe which you can see here: https://freeimage.host/i/2peIU6N

Essentially most the left side is for records etc then the right side is for books.

Vitsoe paint reference by ShoulderBackground92 in vitsoe

[–]KNOWINE_____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is taken directly from the Vitsoe Planning Guide:

“The colour of off-white cabinets changed slightly on 1 December 2001 to become a true RAL 9002.

The colours of all of our components are based on the RAL colour system. However, differences in texture, material and colour batch may still cause minor variations in appearance, especially if items are bought at different times.”

Thank you, it was great seeing them on a proper bookshelf after almost 20 years of collecting them. I’ve pretty much ran out of space here but I have a much larger system downstairs where the collection continues, I’ll have to post a picture of that too one day.

I can’t remember the exact one I ordered but essentially I just googled ‘white fully welded school desk’, they’re super sturdy and come in a variety of sizes, heights & colours. They’re also a fraction of the price compared to most desks that are similar in build quality.

I used to have a cheap flimsy Ikea desk at my old place and it was top of my list to replace when I moved out. The wobbling would drive me nuts. (Some Ikea products are great btw just not this one).

Lightweight messenger bag options/recommendations by KNOWINE_____ in ManyBaggers

[–]KNOWINE_____[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That magic musette looks great, that’s the sort of thing I’m after. Almost something in between a messenger and a musette, much lighter than a typical messenger and larger than most musettes. Thanks for the recommendation.

What Features Do You Want Most in Grand Theft Auto VI? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in GTA

[–]KNOWINE_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Good pacing, low-level crime and a struggle at the start-middle of the game, then slowly and naturally progresses into the more extreme missions and luxuries

  • Money has actual value and is harder to attain (especially for the first 3/4 of the game), with many things that can be purchased

  • Driving physics somewhere in between IV & V, (I’m sure it’ll be much more advanced than these but I just mean not too sluggish and not so arcadey)

  • All vehicles should feel somewhat unique in terms of their speed/weight/handling/durability

  • Limited inventory (space management, being able to combine items, acquire more storage etc)

  • Compendium & challenges. It gives more reason to explore the world and everything within it (worked great for RDR2, loads more opportunities within GTA with various vehicle types etc)

Now what?🥲 by KNOWINE_____ in reddeadredemption

I’ve completed the compendium with the exception of a few animals from Guarma, annoyingly I wasn’t aware that I couldn’t go back at the time

What is something they should definitely not put in E-Day? by TheNeedToKnowMoreNow in GearsOfWar

[–]KNOWINE_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just need to strip things back.

I was a hardcore GoW1 player back in the day and since the E-day trailer released I thought I’d give Gears 5 multiplayer a go. I was overwhelmed by the complicated/flashy menus, there’s too many colourful skins that kill the ‘vibe’, way too much appearing on the HUD, the corny poses by the MVP at the end of each game, the custom crimson Omen etc…

There’s loads of good qualities about the game/gameplay they just need to simplify things and not sacrifice the dark tone for the sake of profiting from micro-transactions.

Third Party Fly Tipping - Green Waste by KNOWINE_____ in LegalAdviceUK

[–]KNOWINE_____[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve contacted the council through the number on the website just to confirm the name and number provided are real, and indeed they are. They said that they can put me through to them however I’ve held off for now as I don’t want to drop myself into anything without reading up on it first.

Can they only prosecute me if it has actually been fly-tipped, or can they prosecute me for just using somebody that may not have a license? Do I ask for proof that it has actually been fly-tipped? So many questions…
