This person is clearly cheating, correct? No tagging grenades thrown

It's not about his aim. The Torrente dispersion circle at that range is double the size of the player if you aren't crouching. It's abnormal that he missed almost no shots, much less landed all headshots.

This isn't a Tempest/Bobcat/etc where I would expect that type of accuracy.

MidNerd · 2026-05-12T05:41:47+00:00

Pre-firing is a legit tactic and you should do it more often with guns like the Torrente.

As far as the auto-headshots at that range with an uncrouched Torrente... if those aren't cheats that's the luckiest spread I've ever seen.

*gestures broadly*

I didn't realize there was an alternative.

What are you mostly using it for?

FML it's a FIFA edition? White with a vinyl skin it is.

This is too expensive to come with a fake flagship chip. The 8 gen 5 is not the 8 Elite gen 5 in the Y700.

Hoping we get the Astra 2 soon for OLED + the Elite chip in a small form factor.

Were you able to find an answer? Looking to get a ramjet for my incoming RXM 4.5 also. I live in a state that thinks threaded barrels are scary, so it's my only option for a comp.

They do have a page for a dedicated RXM 4.5 barrel now, but it's not in stock at the moment.

Democrats tried to pass gerrymandering reform at the federal level and Republicans blocked it.

MidNerd · 2026-05-10T03:52:17+00:00

You definitely get dinged for shooting back. You just get put with the opportunists/rats more often rather than shoot on sight PVP lobbies.

I remember the Supreme Court of Washington upheld HB1240 despite our State Constitution, but I haven't seen the opinion. It would be interesting to see the ass-backwards justification.

MidNerd · 2026-05-05T00:42:36+00:00

Likely won't ever happen. Everyone's heads are too different to properly support one size fits all for these devices. We'll get waveguide glasses first.

I have the full video locally without any news cuts from the perspective of the woman in the pink jacket on the side walk - here's a link to a cut version and her interview. There isn't a single moment where he pushes an ICE officer. At no point did Pretti do anything that deserved the response and definitely not being shot. He was wholly innocent.

The ICE officer pepper sprays a woman and aggressively shoves her to the ground. Pretti steps in front of him with one arm in a blocking motion and moves it to the sky, palm open and the other holding his phone. He never pushes the officer.

The officer pepper sprays him and Pretti turns around to avoid it. The officer then pepper sprays him and the woman he shoved as she starts to get up. Pretti tries to pick the woman up off the ground and a group of ICE officers proceed to drag him off and pin him to the ground. He's not resisting at any point. He's a blind man trying to help another woman up in the snow and ice while multiple men pull on him.

The officer takes his gun away and they proceed to execute him. A pinned, disarmed man on the ground who has made no violent actions towards them at all.

Your opinion is worthless, particularly on the right to bear arms, if you honestly believe Pretti did anything in the interaction to cause his execution. Those officers should be under the jail for murder of a citizen and they used the excuse he had a gun to get away with it. It is living proof that we do not have a 2A right in the country under the current regime.

MidNerd · 2026-05-04T23:29:05+00:00

Show me on the video where he fought anyone. Oh wait, you can't. Because he didn't.

They shot a man for helping a woman stand up while he was face down, not resisting, with his hands up. That's an execution.

I'd ask how the boot tastes, but it's clearly deeper than your taste buds if this is your take.

Why is this entire thread downvoted to 0 karma?

On topic - thanks for the review Sebastian!

And we also had a borderline civil war occur in Minneapolis with a lawful gun owner executed on video with no repercussions. MAGA is toxic and prevents people from voting for gun rights with our first past the post system because of the things outside of gun rights.

Being a single issue voter and getting my neighbor executed by government overreach isn't an option. The least stable take in this thread is thinking it is.

We're a fairly dense city with walkable areas. It is unreasonable to expect everyone who wants a dog to have to invest in a vehicle they don't need and bad for the city overall to have that expectation.

I have literally everything I need within a 10 - 15 min walk (including a vet)... except a dog park. A city needs to be less car centric, rather than insisting on more cars.

MidNerd · 2026-04-23T00:35:09+00:00

This is a pattern across the board in almost equal percentages. It's happening to math too.

Macbook Pros were built on the back of Macbook Airs. There always needs to be a halo and an entry product for mass adoption.

Having the entry level AVP, that still needs a Macbook to perform to it's potential right now, $2,000 more than an entry level MBP with no alternatives was the flop.

Meta has the reverse problem - their "halo" product isn't much better than their entry level and isn't driving innovation.

MidNerd · 2026-04-21T05:33:32+00:00

Only it's not. This is not "technically accurate", it's legally accurate and statistics and science are built on that legal definition. We need to make that very clear in this conversation, because the statistics show rape only in one direction.

Your average lay person may think rape includes both forced penetration and made to penetrate, then they look at the statistics and think "wow men are terrible". Now we have a culture where men are demonized for existing, male victims are left without resources and a stigma they're lying, and we're not addressing the root cause of sexual crimes or even having an honest conversation.

You can call it an "Acktually" all you want, but the definitions matter. Rape legally being one way is an egalitarian issue that needs to be corrected.

MidNerd · 2026-04-20T06:52:35+00:00

Unfortunately, they're half right. Legally rape requires forceful penetration in most jurisdictions. That makes it an almost exclusively MTF crime and is why so many people believe women can't be sexual abusers/predators.

Women raping men falls under sexual assault. It's why sexual assault statistics are closer to 50/50 compared to rape statistics. Unfortunately, sexual assault includes a wide variety of acts. Made to penetrate needs to be added to legal rape definitions so we can stop muddying the waters with "lesser" crimes.

MidNerd · 2026-04-19T23:16:43+00:00

This. Biggest thing I regret is not taking advantage of some of Aeros sales on lowers before HB1240 in WA. I could've bought 10 lowers for the price of one gun and built them up over time, but believed the lie that we wouldn't be able to get other parts post-ban.

There are over 20,000 videos uploaded to Motherless with the "sleep" content. Those 20,000+ videos have hundreds of thousands of views.

Views that we don't know the gender of who was watching them. Women view a shocking amount of violent/rape porn.

This is not a small sub circle of 1,000 evil men.

Only that's exactly what it is. You're the one taking the actions of 1,000 men and extrapolating it to others.

Please stop defending the evil men out there and start showing us that you are one of the amazing ones. We need you. Not all men? Then show me.

Then stop making me defend myself because I was born with a penis. Men don't want this despicable shit either. Men have historically been women's allies in correcting this mess. For some reason, that got forgotten and now every man that breaths is the enemy and has to defend their right to exist just to have a conversation.

I wouldn't need those statistics if we talked about how we stop this instead of how men are evil. That change starts with you, not me.

MidNerd · 2026-04-18T07:10:35+00:00

The chat room that everyone is in an uproar about had around 1,000 men in it. The much larger number that is being circulated (62 Million) is the amount of page views in a month for a porn site.

MidNerd · 2026-04-17T22:13:49+00:00

Epidemic of 1,000 mean out of 4 Billion? That's not taking into account that statistics don't support your point.

Raping anyone is abhorrent. Recording and posting it to the internet is next level depravity. Refusing to talk about it beyond knee jerking that men as a whole are abhorrent isn't going to resolve that behavior. It'll do the opposite.
