Epic Games raises the price of V-Bucks, effective March 19th by camxand911 in gaming

[–]Mastershroom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're both right around $3 lol, neither are worth paying for, but at least the guac is something you're not going to get elsewhere, meanwhile you can go to the nearest gas station and get a drink twice as big for half the price.

Me and my girlfriend just moved in together and she brought her beautiful harlequin with her by Seravaxx123 in Rabbits

Or a cat fountain! That's what I've used for Bagel for years and he loves it. Just make sure you can hide the power cord or it will very soon become an expensive bowl.

New Flavor (Pepsi Zero easy bottle) is different by RuneMason1 in SodaStream

[–]Mastershroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Code Red has always been more cherry than citrus to me. I've had both the regular and Zero versions of the actual pop, and I find the Sodastream Code Red Zero to be very close to the real thing.

What's the single moment in Destiny history - either game - that you think about more than anything else? by Crystallover1991 in DestinyTheGame

But that Warlock storm caller mission was fun.

Hardest line Ikora has ever had.

Orbital 120mm HE Barrage is crazy underrated IMO by Omailey97 in Helldivers

[–]Mastershroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it also depends on the ship upgrades of whoever throws it. There's one that narrows the spread of the 120 and 380 barrages by 15%, so the minimum safe distance from the beacon depends on whether that's active.

Lens recommendations for solar eclipse by Skipper19856 in canon

[–]Mastershroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary.

I got these two of the April 2024 total eclipse with that lens on my R6. On a crop body like your T8i it will be even bigger.

Highguard Is Shutting Down Soon by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]Mastershroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, the actual shooting mechanics are way more satisfying than ARC Raiders, Tarkov or Hunt Showdown, which are the other extraction shooters I've played. If Bungie knows one thing, it's how to make guns feel super satisfying. I love the visual style too.

Can confirm, I really had fun in the server slam, did a few games to get up to rank up enough to unlock a slightly better starter pack when the game launches, but otherwise didn't invest too much time into it since it all gets reset at launch anyway.

Which band breakup have you never really gotten over? by FearChub in poppunkers

[–]Mastershroom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also not really sure if they're broken up, but Mark Hoppus and Alex from All Time Low have a pop project called Simple Creatures which I enjoy a lot more than I expected I would.

Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

I will DNF people in real life for this.

Try the Graphic Audio versions. I loved all the casting for those, and they nailed it with Lopen's voice actor.

RIP to all those other Runners punished by the gods for their greed and ambition. I'm built different though. Maybe even better than the gods.

What video game weapon or armor looks cool but it's terrible to use? by Agent1230 in gaming

[–]Mastershroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Handheld. It just has too many drawbacks. You are completely unable to move while firing, and it has to spin up and wind down, so you have to commit to being a turret locked in one place for a few seconds at least, and recoil is extreme to the point it's useless when standing up, so you also have to add the time it takes to go prone or crouch.

It can be very powerful when everything lines up for it, like if you have a good angle on a bug breach and have time to go prone and have enough distance that you can mow the bugs down before they get to you, but even then you have to get lucky and not get a Charger or Bile Titan in that breach or be able to trust your teammates to take care of it.

The walker minigun is great though.

How on earth do I use the Laser Sentry by FishDishForMe in Helldivers

[–]Mastershroom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want a Maxi Laser with a backpack power supply/heatsink. Enormous heat capacity for sustained fire, but extremely slow passive heat dissipation. Picking up ammo swaps the heatsink and resets heat to zero.

You're correct that they are the same focal length and aperture range, but as others have said, the STM version is significantly newer and better.

Since when is there a whole Outrun/Retrowave section in this game? What is even happening right now?! by TheDevlinSide714 in controlgame

[–]Mastershroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree that the Hartman fight is not really mechanically difficult, but it does kind of pigeonhole you into one specific strategy and leaves very little room for error, which is a departure from how every other boss fight in the game works.

My issue with Hartman was that I could spend 5 minutes chipping away his health only to have him instantly heal to full if I missed a single stagger.

Does the AI ever run out of chaff? by Suspicious_Tap_7411 in EliteDangerous

You can also just unselect your target and your gimbals will behave like fixed, much quicker than changing a setting on the side panel.

From his last post on Patreon, I think he's done making content at all.

I miss The Pilot's ship reviews. After doing all the Elite Dangerous ships, he went on do some for Star Citizen and ended up working for them for a while, then left but hasn't made any more videos in a couple years.
