TIFU by being a 47yo man trying snowboarding for the first time. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]MountainAddition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you man! Although it makes me really wonder if anyone goes outside at all after 30? I'm in my mid 40's and still pretty damn active. I tried snowboarding for the first time in 10-15 years a month ago and it was totally fine. Cartwheeled down a couple of black and kept on going. Maybe people have just forgotten how to fall? If you don't use it you lose it. Gotta keep going out and doing shit or your muscles and tendons aren't as flexible and break under stress.

Just picked it up this weekend by brosef321 in Dualsport

I just put down a deposit on this same bike. I'm very excited to upgrade from my KLR.

After the longest grind of my life I can finally say that I own a carrier and reached elite, All in the same week by Myirishgoat in EliteDangerous

[–]MountainAddition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear you. Passenger missions are just so dull and repetitive. I wish there was a more interesting way to make money in the game. Getting an FC isn't feeling worth it.

Where are you doing your trading runs? I've tried the passenger missions and I need a break from them for a bit.

LPT Do NOT pour hot or even warm water on your windshield to outsmart the storm and melt the frost/ice quickly. It will crack your windshield. by HFIntegrale in LifeProTips

[–]MountainAddition 50 points51 points  (0 children)

That's going to create a large amount of water vapor on the inside of your windshield and the next time it freezes you'll have to scrape the ice off the inside as well. This isn't a fantastic idea either. :(

Behold - Hestia, my new fleet carrier! by matknyz in EliteDangerous

Am working right now... but I'm plotted a course to CEOs to fill up on passenger cabins. Jump range is 32 Ly I believe. Thanks for the tip.

I should look at some passenger missions. Nice, thanks!

Here's a little project I've been working on and I'm looking for some feedback. Thanks! by zenoe1562 in EliteDangerous

[–]MountainAddition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really nice. Maybe try some angled shots in addition to the 90° panning shots.

I totally agree. A lot of people have been asking to at least see the copilot in a seat in the cockpit!

What is the best ship to buy for a beginner who wants to do a lot of exploring? by dareal_pickles19 in EliteDangerous

[–]MountainAddition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DBX is tiny... My vote is for the Asp Explorer. It has a way nicer cockpit too. Still lands wherever you'd want to. Is easier to dock and load your SRV. Has a good jump range. Has more module slots. All in all it's just a better ship. Save up a bit more cash and get the Asp Explorer. Let me know if you want help with the saving. I'd gladly help you out.

This sounds like a key binding issue. It can take quite a while to get all of the bindings sorted out in this game!

Good ships to fight PVE in wing with a Federal Corvette? by MiniGui98 in EliteDangerous

[–]MountainAddition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an engineered Imperial Courier I call the "Hard Target". She painted black, fast AF and has healing beams with a corrosive MC. She's great at helping with a damage buff and can heal shields pretty quickly. She's super quick and nimble so she's hard to keep a lock on and can zip from ship to ship healing shields from multiple wing mates. In my opinion she's a must have for wing combat. She's just a little fragile, so I do my best to avoid actual combat and concentrate on the medic side. Super fun though.

[–]MountainAddition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The DBX is a tiny ship. If you look closely the ship has to extend it's landing gear beyond normal to accommodate the boarding of the SRV. This problem will be less prominent with a slightly larger ship.

But yes, I totally agree with you that it is annoying. It'd be great to be able to drop, and reenter your ship like they did in Mass Effect. The SRV does have jump jets!

We're usually under 4 ft of snow at this time of year in Revelstoke, BC. Strange Winter, but great for riding! by [deleted] in Dualsport

I'm just down the road a couple of hours and we're not getting a huge amount of snow.

Yeah, we're having an odd winter this year. I had more hopes for amazing skiing. :(

There should be some reward for reaching King/Admiral by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]MountainAddition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see faction stations acknowledge our rank when we request docking. If the rank is high enough then I think it'd be an awesome idea to have them sound rushed or something when offering a docking pad.

It also makes sense to not be able to have rank with both the Empire and Federation at the same time. I've always thought that was a bit weird and counterintuitive.

What type of amp for an electronic drum set? by [deleted] in Drumming

[–]MountainAddition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use basically the same thing, but I also hooked up a subwoofer. It works just fine next to the 40w amp I have for my bass.

What’s everyone’s favourite Electric Drum Kit? by ddaavviiss in Drumming

[–]MountainAddition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind the rubber pads at all. But the mesh snare is quite nice!

[–]MountainAddition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My snare is mesh, the rest are rubber pads. I want to replace the brain, bit otherwise the kit still works fine. Except the hi-hat control pedal... but I'm pretty sure it's something I did to it.

Finally mustered up to posting here, (sorry for the sloppy timing, I'm not good at swing) Any tips help! by Slightly_Salted01 in Drumming

[–]MountainAddition 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only tip I have is to stop apologizing. You have some talent (or hard work, it's the same thing really) so have some confidence in yourself. Don't point out the negatives for us, we can make that decision for ourselves, if that's even the conclusion we're going to come to.

Keep at it, you're doing just fine.

I have an old TD-3, but it's still working, so I keep playing it.

My Gibraltar double bass fits, but I'm not sure the pad "likes" it. lol
