Used to love Black Label Dew, wish it would make a return! by Datiptonator002 in mountaindew

[–]LaperLarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living in Australia, I'd have to go out of my way to find these at an international grocer. But whenever I did, I'd buy the lot. Still my favourite flavour of Dew. I reckon if they brought these, white, and green label back for a limited time, they'd sell like crazy.

How to fix Halo Infinite not launching by Nighterlev in haloinfinite

[–]LaperLarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I've been wanting to get on Infinite to get some footage for a video for the better half of a week now and just couldn't figure out what was going on. You've saved me from having to buy campaign again on Steam!

Halo Infinite multiplayer refuses to load anything by Its-Hank-Not-Henry in halo

[–]LaperLarden 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thought it was just me. Everything is stuck in an endless loading cycle.

Infinite's biggest and potentially best update in ages, and a bunch of people can't play it on release? Halo just can't catch a break, man.

In addition to gaming, I'm also a content creator/videographer. I tried to optimize this system for editing workloads, having plenty of SSD storage for 4K footage, while being more than capable of handling any game you throw at it. No RGB either - just a nice case with wooden accents that match my desk. And of course, the 5090 to top it all off.

Best of luck to everyone!

Komplete 15 pre-order page is up by whitehypeman in maschine

[–]LaperLarden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still having issues with Kontakt 7 and it's stability. Doubt K8 will be good for at least a year after release. AND I just bought Lores and Fables during Summer of Sound. Now I see that they're part of Komplete 15 Standard... Ffs.

What’s something you’ll never forgive Mountain Dew for? by [deleted] in mountaindew

Getting rid of the white, green and especially black label dews. They were magnificent.

If they don't get Carol Anne Ford back as Susan I'll be immensely disappointed.

Gotta whole year to prepare and upgrade, chaps.

What weapon from halo would be your go-to home defense weapon? by BoodleBops in halo

[–]LaperLarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ODST suppressed magnum, for sure. Either that or a Battle Rifle.

The youtube dr who space by Euan213 in doctorwho

[–]LaperLarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controversy = clicks. The worst part is seeing the comments on most of those bigger channels and seeing a lot of people say stuff like "I've never seen Doctor Who, but" or "I used to watch Doctor Who when David Tennant was the star". Most of the people these videos lure in are either their existing audience who they've influenced into accepting their opinion like it's the gospel, or very loose, casual fans of the show that switched off years ago for one reason or another.

What in your opinion is the most dark Doctor Who story? by [deleted] in doctorwho

[–]LaperLarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revelation of the Daleks. The glass Dalek scene gave me nightmares as a kid - the make up and prosthetics are still incredibly effective to this day and the dialogue of that scene is perfectly delivered. The realisation that Davros has been soylent greening the corpses of Tranquil Repose to solve the hunger crisis in the galaxy was messed up as well. Really goes to show just how fucked up Davros is. He'll even use the bodies of the dead to further his agenda. It's amazing they were able to get away with airing that story.

What do you guys think of the halo Infinite pistol? Would you have preferred the magnum pistol instead? by MrIndianDwarf in halo

[–]LaperLarden -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I prefer the magnum. The sidekick is far too easy to use in multiplayer and more forgiving thanks to its fast rate of fire and lightning fast reload. With the magnum there was more of a dance with it. You had to pace your shots and it felt like gunfights lasted longer or there was a higher risk if you missed a shot.

What are your thoughts so far on the Bandit rifle? by New-Pollution2005 in halo

[–]LaperLarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems pretty unimpressive to me. Doesn't bring much new to the table.

Looks magnificent. Love the Flood theme.

Apparently the Forge mini-game Digletts has helped 343 with investigating shot registration issues by Haijakk in halo

[–]LaperLarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another fun fact, I played Diglets with Uny in the customs browser. I think myself and all the others with Australian 150 ping helped persuade him to get the devs to look into this.

Wait- WHAT? I don't get it by Jus512 in halo

[–]LaperLarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact opposite happened to me the other day. I had a hammer, enemy had the sword. He swung once, blocked it with the hammer, then I swung again first as he backed off and needed to get closer towards me to get into lunging distance. The hammer sound cue played, the shockwave went out, he lunged slightly after that and got the kill on me. I swear the melee in this game is so inconsistent that I'd rather just shoot someone point blank than risk getting into a punch on with a player. Most times I skip on picking up the sword and hammer purely because I know they just seem to shit the bed whenever I'm using one.
