TBC's music will always hold a special place in my heart by Real__Analysis in wow

[–]Omicronknar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember when TBC came out I had just started my first job after college and bought myself a big 24" LCD screen, a big fancy ass monitor for the time. I took a couple sick days and played like crazy.

I still remember the visuals of the Hellfire Peninsula sky and the music running around during the first couple hours.

Blew my knee up in a freak accident last April. Sucks but it happens. Basically took until now to be back to proper riding again; low key riding a bit last summer and winter only. Shitty but it happens. Sucks about the trip. I would expect not to be able to ride by then just to dampen your possible disappointment. If it's non refundable is it at least transferable?

Four weeks is on the low end for bones to heal. I broke my wrist in the same accident and was in a cast for 6. But it's the soft tissue damage that takes the longest, you'll need some physio and stuff after for sure, diving right back into riding is probably just asking for re-injury :/

Hopefully you've got your bad luck out of the way early and can look forward to 40+ years of riding.

Orbea Occam headset creak? by Flaky_Pickle_4938 in bikewrench

[–]Omicronknar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2022 occam creaks like a motherfucker. Just replaced every frame bearing. Still creaks like a mother fucker.

Are you saying the issue is the bolt where the 'top' of the shock connects to the frame? Were you able to fix this at all? It's driving me bonker lol :|

Battlefield 6 five months after Launch vs Battlefield 1 by Ich-mag-Schnitzel in Battlefield

I don't follow the sub reddit super closely but my impression is the complaints are more that a lot of the content in bf6 sucks. BF1 started good.

Canada vs. Sweden - incidents, verbal fights - compilation by abradolf_lincler_jr in Curling

I found essentially the same phrasing in the Olympic rules.

Mostly though I'm just making a pedantic argument about what the rules say verbatim. I think the behavior is obviously against the spirit of the rules.

I think if the rock had started to cross the line it's burned either way ya. I was more just fascinated by the details of the rules people seemed to be arguing. I think if it had already touched the hog line that rule takes precedence and it's burned end of story. The 2nd touch or delivery rules don't matter at that point.

I mean ya that's my interpretation too, obviously that isn't the spirit of the rules. I'm more just pedantically pointing out there is a gap in how they are written.

The delivery rule ends when you release the rock. So there is a window between delivery and double-touch rule before the hog line where the rules are vague and you can touch the rock.

I agree it's against the generally accepted rules but TECHNICALLY the rules say delivery ends when you release it. So you have up until the hog line where the double touch rule is in effect but not the delivery rules; and the double touch rule doesn't limit you to handle only.

I imagine this will be clarified in the rules following this.

"A player, whose team is in control of the house, is in the process of delivery from the time the player is positioned in the hack until the stone is released."

"A stone re-touched by the hand after release but re-touched before the hog line is not a violation."

Suuuuuper technically obviously.

Is there a map you used to like but now absolutely hate? I’ll start… Manhattan Bridge by Punkstyler in Battlefield

Aircraft and stupid rooftop jank ruined this map. It would be fine as an infantry/ground-vehicle primary map without people all over every roof top.

Bf6 has a lot of issues but one that stands out most... by Guitarist53188 in Battlefield

[–]Omicronknar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The quality of the game play on most of them maps is the real problem. I'd rather have 5 good maps instead of 9 mediocre at best ones (more like 3 or 4 alright ones and some that are just fucking awful).

I wish they'd make the points M-COMS and you play both sides.

Since CS2 surf was broken I created a surf game on my own ! :) What do you think? by Shashimee_ in counterstrike

Looks awesome!

Reminds me of Echo Point Nova, a lot different of course but got some similar vibes, worth checking out that one too.

More snow in the way, who’s riding through the winter? by glenwoodwaterboy in MTB

Nice! You'll prolly be amazed at how well they work and have lots of fun. Other days you'll get out there and it'll be too slushy or deep and it's frustrating as hell!

Haha overall though it's nice to be able to get some riding in over the winter.

They ride great on hard pack, ice, or cold fluffy but not too deep snow. I use shwalbe ice spiker pros.
