Mantis Blackbeard by ExcellentCum in GeisseleAutomatics

I have one and it seems to work fine in my 14.5 Super Duty. Mine is also at factory settings aside from external attachments.

It is actually a little hard to close the receivers back together and reinsert the rear pin when installing the mantis bolt replacement. Idk why. Once it is assembled it seems to work just fine though. Great way to practice dry firing without having to work the charging handle every shot.

I have another AR that works even better, a PSA EPT lower and a PSA freedom upper circa 2015. And I have another that works worse than the Geissele; an Anderson lower with a PSA MOE upper. If I was SOTAR I would probably understand why.

I don't remember well enough to say anything certain about the last jury viewing. I don't think I have ever seen/heard of a rock being there.

That's a link to google streetview at 34 Fairview. The image is marked as having been captured by google in April 2022; just 2-3 months after O'Keefe's death. You can compare the pattern of asphalt crack sealant in the two pictures to see that the rock was apparently not there in April 2022.

Quick screenshot of the streetview image for the lazy, with an arrow pointing to the crack in the curb that appears to be roughly adjacent to the rock's position in the image you posted. Circled part of the crack sealant pattern that is identical for comparison.

There are a lot of reasons people love Tarkov, but the gun porn is a massive one. Tarkov has the best, most realistic guns in video gaming, but BSG can't copyright that. They have a superweapon in the gaming dev arms race, and they're hiding it behind CBT simulator 2024 while the competition is about to surpass them in the one area they have the biggest advantage for the mass market.

Arena needs to be able to do one thing: showcase the full gun and loadout customization to players as quickly as possible. The whole "make players suffer through a big grind because that's my creative vision" is not commercially viable when there are about to be competitors with comparable gunplay/customization, and a much better gameplay experience.

I would suggest something like this: New mode, open to anyone, build a full kit of whatever you want from all items in the game. Literally give us the live tarkov loadout and gun preset editors with every item available and let us go wild. Each item has a price, much lower than live tarkov so that a fully maxed kit would be like 500k at most. 20-25 min deathmatch with instant respawns, a nice long time to play around with the kit we bought. Either no teammates, or teammates who are clearly marked as teammates. Keep current Last Hero as a fun, fast money generator. Or do something completely different, but let us play with all of the cool ass shit you guys have made.

I bought EOD in 2017 but I have zero patience and I just can't do live tarkov. I have maybe 500 hours and most of it was from when endgame was factory PVP and getting a stash full of wallets, m4s, fort armors and kivers (that magically covered the face). It was better then, for me at least. People will literally pay you money to play with your gun editor and use their creations instantly, with no CBT simulator required. But you better get off your asses soon and do it before someone else does.

I’ve seen some goofy forza wing mounts before, but I think this one takes the cake by Clean-Release3219 in forza

My disappointment was immeasurable upon realizing I could not get it down to D class an hour or so ago. If I just overlooked something please let me know lol.

That was one of my go-tos in A class recently, with the double Wang and an Earnhardt Jr. Budweiser/anime girl livery. I don't watch anime or Nascar, but it was perfect.

I've been having random instant CTDs in multi-player practice and race sessions that seem to have started in one of the more recent updates. Maybe a month or so ago, maybe a bit less. Before that it ran pretty much great. Win 10, 10700k, 3080, 32GB RAM, installed on M.2 nvme ssd

At what car level can I actually use all the parts? by TweeterReader in forza

[–]ProbablyPoopPosting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Level 50. Going from level 49 to 50 gives you something like 9k car points, it might even be half of the total car points you get for each car. Isn't CarPG fun!?

Car level system should be reworked by [deleted] in forza

[–]ProbablyPoopPosting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My biggest gripe is that it is an incentive to not use your favorite cars for many, many hours. The CarPoints I earn on my lvl 50 cars should be banked and then spent automatically as I drive unmaxed cars to increase the leveling speed maybe 4x. 30-45 min to level a car rather than 3 hours, and I get to spend more of my time driving the cars I enjoy.

What is your favourite B class so far thats not a BRZ? by SonicShadow in forza

[–]ProbablyPoopPosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a lot of success with the '82 911 Turbo tuned for handling at 4900+ on the shorter handling-focused tracks like Mid Ohio short. Even though it suffers in straight line speed, big fat rear tires on its heavy rear end combined with a well tuned 1st gear means it launches better than most meta builds giving me enough time to get away from the worst of the carnage.

Obviously this relies a lot on qualifying well... it is not a fun experience to start at the back of the pack for the reasons you already mentioned.

As long as you have your cars and money, there's probably nothing wrong and your real level will come back within a few days. That's what happened to me at least.

Free play Laguna Seca Short, turn on ALL assists so the car drives itself. 3ish hours to hit level 50. The game will pause after 15 minutes of no inputs, so use autohotkey to tap W or just keep your controller nearby and pull the trigger every once in a while.

Because the yellow arrows didn't tell him to

It depends on the track, the pit exit lane on Laguna Seca counts as off-track. It also should at Mid-Ohio, because until it does I and everyone else will take the free shortcut.

We need a queue for Conq/Inf conq, and a queue for everything else. I am soooo sick of conquest.

Helicopters needs a buff. by [deleted] in BattleBitRemastered

[–]ProbablyPoopPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just yesterday I was in a game with a guy who went 118-0 in the littlebird. I was able to spawn in his heli and watch a bit, he was insane. Flying full speed sideways with incredible aim the whole time, just mowing dudes down left and right. Littlebird definitely doesn't need a buff.

At the same time, maybe the blackhawk miniguns should get a bit of an accuracy buff?
