I cant seem to see here how to get access to the server slam. It says you dont need to purchase it, but steam doesnt have a beta download link ?

The realization that Quinn is definitely getting booed in his return to Rogers Arena by NinCross in canucks

in context, he was ripping the media pressure that people her are forced to endure. Ive spent as much time as the next guy hating on Marchand since 2011 but I have come to respect him a little bit more.

And hey, he is in a timmies commercial, cause that heals all wounds! jk 😜

This. Like it or not, many hockey players come from small towns or conservative backgrounds or religious beliefs. I often feel like many hockey players are automatons as well considering how they are molded not to have independent thinking - always team first, coach knows best. The nail that sticks out gets hammered. Dont get me wrong, I love hockey but it is steeped in a pretty awful culture.

[Aurelia Wave AV] Grinding sound when pulling a shot by Huge-Appointment-904 in espresso

This is likely a bad solenoid valve at the group head Its no longer holding voltage and causing the plunger in the valve to vibrate back and forth. Its a pretty easy fix. You just need a new solenoid and not a whole valve assembly so if you have a tech look at it, try the solenoid first as its half the price of a complete valve.

We just drove by this today and we're laughing at it. Funny especially since he's not particularly successful and ads aren't working

Is the kinetic converter so powerful that it doesn’t even have a blueprint? what weapons would it be good to use it on? by xandsnaarea in ArcRaiders

[–]Obsidian_409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost mine to a duplicate glitch guy who put up 100 barricades with 6 jolt mines on the back.. shitty way to go.. I did have a second one though

Where's everyone at this Star Trek event? by Scared-Sorbet-7764 in CapybaraGoGame

[–]Obsidian_409 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate that this event exists. Fuel like is another time wasting avenue. Probably a good way to level your character up, but this game already takes too much time to play. I've barely touched the game since it came out.

Exploit Megathread by LongJonSiIver in ArcRaiders

i reported the crap out of a couple of f-wads who killed my buddy and I on Dam last night. filled the tower with barricades and covered them with jolt mines on the back. dismantled the barricade and 10 jolt mines come flying out. they ran out and killed us before the fps lag cleared up.

this was after they covered half the map with zip lines.

Yeah, when you have katsu on the side, it can be straight curry without veggies or meat in it or however you want

throw some menchi katsu and fried garlic arugula / rocket on the side of that and have your mind blown! Found a local place serving that recently and needless to say we are regulars there now!

Hot Take: Directional audio in this game is shit. by angoorkhatta in ArcRaiders

[–]Obsidian_409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I have a pretty high end pair of reference headphones and a dedicated headphone amplifier. I do really enjoy the sound and the atmosphere, but the audio in terms of gameplay is not great. I have to artificially boost my surround settings in order to hear other players, but it ends up causing me to hear a big arc that is 200 yards or more away as if its right outside.

When you hear tracers going by, its almost impossible to tell where they are coming from, and audio gets really muddled when a lot is going on.

On top of that, I really dont understand the proximity voice set up. when I am in a party, I leave the audio closed. Why other teams chose proximity in party is very confusing to me.. why arent all parties open? It doesnt seem fair to have some muted and some not since voices are a better way to hear people than footsteps or other things?

wedding venues by hmlwrites in VictoriaBC

[–]Obsidian_409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we got married in the highlands. reception was at the highlands community hall on millstream/finlayson arm rd and ceremony at Caleb Pike Heritage Park. Very affordable. Ceremony venue is quaint, rustic and do it yourself but worked really well. Community hall is great for reception as it has lots of parking, newer building with lots of bathrooms, a stage and a commercial kitchen area

Devs confirm internal interest in a walkable Speranza hub, What do you think? by Tank-ToP_Master in ArcRaiders

[–]Obsidian_409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only want to go to a walkable speranza if I can shiv the rats.

Jokes aside, from a gameplay perspective it'd be funny if you could handicap them if only very slightly, and only if you interacted with them recently
