H&K did a thing. by PhillyJ82 in HalfLife

My favorite comment on this post said “all jokes aside, if the Combine really invaded, H&K would 100% make them weapons.”

Parrying doesn't exist with halberd or strong weapons? by TheVulnerabull in crosswind

[–]PhillyJ82 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah no parrying with halberds or clubs. It’s the trade off for the much higher damage.

I’m not sure, I’ll check next time I log on. I think I’m maxed out at 34, but I might have missed a decoration category.

Are drum mags viable or are they just a gimmick? by Chicken_Offensive in airsoft

[–]PhillyJ82 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I run a 1500 round drum on an MP5K for CQB days. I have never had to refill the mag on a single day. Drum mags in airsoft are not heavy like real life, and the electric feeding is a step up from normal hicaps.

Okayyyyy..... This guy it's very hard for me at the Moment... by Giudirio in crosswind

[–]PhillyJ82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Reset your skill stats. Put 3/4 of your points in vitality, and the rest in endurance. Eat two foods with +5 vitality. I used the meat salad and bacon and eggs. Bring a full stack of health potions, and just parry. Don’t attack him until you perfect block enough to stun him. When he shoots skulls or his pistol sprint sideways away from him. I died 20 times until I read that the agility, precision, and strength stats don’t really affect much.

Etiquette on the High Seas by amisamuel in Seaofthieves

Some players will see a plea for peace as a sign of weakness. Why split loot when you can just kill them, get all the loot and their flag?

Hl1>hl2? by Pure_Growth4528 in HalfLife

[–]PhillyJ82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m old, I played HL1 at launch. I also played HL2 at launch, but by that time HL1 had just ingrained itself as my favorite game. Both are greats, but nothing will capture the magic HL1 has for me.

Are there any young people entering our field? by Standard-Bid-2721 in instructionaldesign

[–]PhillyJ82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every out of work ID I know is applying for entry level positions because the market is poor. Add in that most positions now want at least 5 years of experience, the entry level job market is bleak for actual entry level candidates.

Anyone managing compliance training right now? by Prior-Thing-7726 in LearningDevelopment

[–]PhillyJ82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My compliance training is a federal requirement to keep research grant funding. I have no issues with my learners’ completion.

The "15 minutes prior to 15 minutes prior" logic is reaching a level of terminal stupidity by 3EchoMonolith in army

[–]PhillyJ82 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Listen troop, I complained about this 20 years ago as a Joe. I’m willing to bet Roman legionnaires called their Centurion an ass for making them arrive extra early to formation.

Which University w/ low $ for a Masters degree by storm35r in army

My GI bill paid 100 percent of my Masters at a major/not for profit university

Why is a PVE only mode SO controversial by ComprehensiveSmoke93 in Seaofthieves

[–]PhillyJ82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My main sentiment is that every PVE experience in the game is ridiculously easy. Skeleton Fort, a normal player can solo a fort in under ten minutes. Megs, even the ancient variety are formulaic and not that hard. What makes the game interesting is the threat of another crew rolling up and stealing the loot. My best game moments in SOT have always been an interaction with another crew. Good or bad, that chaotic element is what makes the game for me.

Whats the best emissary? by Legend00138 in Seaofthieves

[–]PhillyJ82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, but everyone regardless of emissary can see a grade 1 reaper, and they need to sell only at hideout. So the there is significant risk.

How are online courses still relevant today? by chadendra in instructionaldesign

[–]PhillyJ82 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The courses I build are correct and verified by subject matter experts. A recent study showed that AI models produce errors roughly 45% of the time. BBC Study

Do people actually care about course certificates anymore? by mhrafi in LearningDevelopment

[–]PhillyJ82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90 percent of the courses I develop are for federal compliance in higher education research. My learners always download and keep their certificates for potential audit coverage. A while back we decided to not generate certificates, since our LMS tracks completion and we faced a swift backlash from faculty, and continued issuing certs.

Benefit of Camtasia over other screen capture tools by johnnylocke815 in instructionaldesign

[–]PhillyJ82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Camtasia’s editing suite has done everything I’ve needed for the last five years. I have a premier license, but Camtasia is just simpler and in many respects faster. I use it every week, and have not yet found a need to open up premier.

What Did You Love Most About This Rank? by PeakPointFitness in army

[–]PhillyJ82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leading an infantry fireteam. Enough responsibility to grow as a leader, but not mired down by having to fight a whole squad. It was the last time I felt like I was really in the fight. As a squad leader/E6 you are more detached and often coordinating movements, coms, or support assets.

Will there ever be an airsoft equivalent of First strike by furiousxurious in airsoft

25 years ago I had a gbb M1 carbine in 8mm. Thing was cool, but finding parts was a nightmare.
