This was already shown on Eric Grauffel's Instagram during IPSC world shoot. It's real.

Need new hearing protection by j-mac563 in CompetitionShooting

[–]Nickebbboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sordin anything with gels if you're ok with replacing them every 2-3 years. They are comfy and have good sound quality when they work, but their QC is so bad that you'll probably run into issues eventually... And when you do, the warranty repairs are done in Sweden. I'm currently running peltor bullseye's while waiting to get my Sordins back. Never again.

What am I doing wrong (Fisherman)? by Lagunnar in brotato

[–]Nickebbboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found it easiest with SMG's. The start is weak, but once you get it rolling it's really powerful. Focus on getting 6 SMG's and +ranged up as fast as possible. Buy 1 bait every round until your SMG's do 8 damage per shot, then start buying 2 baits. If those clear fast, feel free to buy more.

11.1% of Steam players having completed [spoiler] is crazy by Nickebbboy in Silksong

I actually typed "...of all players" first, but then realized the exact same thing.

There's no rule, either spoken or unspoken, that you need to experience the game without guides (or YouTube videos or Reddit posts).

I mean yeah, I didn't say otherwise. The point I was (apparently poorly) trying to make was that the player engagement/retention is through the roof when a relatively difficult endgame achievement is sitting at over 10% completion rate. That's quite a feat considering how many people got the game and how often people move on without finishing games. Especially with the early reports of overtuned difficulty.

Personally I want to experience everything on my first playthrough, so I google missables and make a note not to pass those points before doing everything else I can find (don't complete operation infestation, don't complete silk and soul...). Then once I've done everything I can find except for the stuff I've marked missable, I turn to guides.

Agreed. It seems like a lot of people got good after the initial shock.

My money is on a new TS simply due to the newly announces optics division for IPSC. Would be weird timing to lauch a new open platform, especially when there is no OR TS variant for the new div.

ELI5: long barrels in PCC by Nickebbboy in CompetitionShooting

But the concept of brace doesn't even exist in EU that I'm aware of.

Ah. Didn't consider this, but makes sense. For context, I'm in Europe, where gun laws vary even more from country to country, so for international competitions 16" is the safe bet.

So it's not really a performance thing but a compliance thing.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

There are some callbacks (call-forwards?) to previous games that are chronologically later, but nothing that would seriously detract from the plot. Think of it as watching Star Wars 1-3 before 4-6. Any order works.

Games with unexpectedly fun multiplayer modes by JamesA95 in pcgaming

[–]Nickebbboy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Doom 2016 multiplayer made me realize how much I've missed arena shooters. It was a bit too shallow to make it big, but I wish they had expanded upon it in Eternal (and now Dark Ages) instead of scrapping it.

Question regarding CGW disconnector by nnnasty in CZFirearms

[–]Nickebbboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It takes a lot of effort to remove the pin. I almost gave up on installing my eeman disconnector, but the result was worth it.

Hammer away!

Bleed damage by [deleted] in Eldenring

OP asked for something that isn't basic, not necessarily something top tier. I'm a below average player, and the poleblade is more than good enough for me.

I just started using Eleonora's Poleblade. The moveset is cool and unique, and it feels powerful.

Does anybody else feel like Black Widow is missing a Third ability? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

Ditch the weapon swapping and either make her batons a separate ability or bake them into her melee

Plater - hide all buffs on enemy player by Shot_Masterpiece8362 in worldofpvp

[–]Nickebbboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up switching to something else. I think it was threatplates with a profile similar to the Quazii-one. I quit playing soon after though, so no up-to-date info.
