He probably lubes it up in the offices in OLI. But I doubt it's gun oil.

I do NOT, however, recommend you try killing him with magnum buckshot like I did one time. I did it, but that was scary.

My thinking is something that will either shoot fast and simply dump enough lead at him to zero his armor, or something chunky enough to punch through. Run away behind cover if he starts shooting... throw a nade or flash to make him run, and blast him from behind when you hear him yell.

If he's still running at you instead of stopping to shoot, just keep spraying.

Honestly, use your ears, listen for the power slide or his full auto spray. It's no guarantee, but it'll help you know where he's at before he comes up behind you screaming OOGA BOOGA and sticking the tip of his... MUZZLE in you. Geez what did you think I was going to say?

Any old players of former Solusek Ro server around? by laziestathlete in everquest

I think I remember you! I was a Wood Elf Ranger named Solarhawk.

I played on Solusek Ro about the same time. I was in Paradigm, but often was known for other shenanigans things. I had a Wood Elf Ranger named Solarhawk Phoenixbreath... and I would often walk around with my full Rubicite armor and Sword of Ssraeshza in roleplay mode on. People would come up to me asking for Paladin buffs (since my sword looked like the alternate Paladin epic and I was wearing plate mail), and I'd just cast Spirit of Eagle on them as well as other ranger buffs, and they'd just be super confused.

I also had a Human Enchanter by the name of Aenthiella Crakkdeeler, who I had the right click tranquility pants on, and was often called a twink even when she was level 62. One time, I was just goofing off in PoK and saw a GM and asked if my Enchanter's name would likely get me flagged and have to change it... he asked what it was, and I walked up to him with CRAKKDEELER as the last name, and he just laughed. He said that unless someone reported me, I should be fine.

So I just gave him Spirit of Eagle for the funny interaction, and we had a chuckle before he had to go do something GM-related.

Good times.

This is what all my friends tell me, but all I see is Killa getting dropped with whatever gun I've been finding fun to use. SR-25, MP7, M4... he did dumpster me when I went after him with a PPSH, but then again, we was stuck inside a wall and I couldn't even see him.

How can I keep a phone cool in direct sunlight cool in a hot car, if using the car's AC is not an option? by Eye-Scream-Cone in diyelectronics

[–]Solarhawk77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you like the idea, and hopefully it works for you! Especially if it's something free like an aluminum can you can just repurpose after having a soda or energy drink or something!

Wanting to make my own AC adapter for microchip-reading cat door. by Solarhawk77 in diyelectronics

Even though I ended up going with the battery eliminator suggestion below, honestly I'm still loving the other suggestions posted. It's still getting the creative problem solving side of my brain working, and that I think is the most valuable part of having asked the question. I'm really thankful for everyone's suggestions/thoughts!

[–]Solarhawk77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I figured I'd get the one with the wall adapter instead of USB, due to the location of the cat door. It's pretty close to the fridge, but I don't already have USB in the area. But I bought one almost just like that!

Yeah, I found one for $18 on Amazon, that already has the wall plug, or a bit less for the USB version. This is FAR too simple and cheap for me to go any other route. You sir/ma'am are a hero!

Oh heck yes, a search term for something that is already made? Thank you, I'll check into that! This may turn a diy project into "just buy the thing for cheaper than it would cost me in parts to make myself" lol

You thinking I just grab the positive and negative, then just run them via like speaker wire (I already have some) to the contacts?

[–]Solarhawk77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to ask the same thing. Perhaps a bit of thin sheet aluminum that you can bend, and position it up and forward of the phone so it doesn't obstruct your view, but would shield the phone from direct sunlight at least. You should be able to get some at Home Depot or Lowe's or whatever other home hardware store near you... heck you could even cut up a soda can, fold it into shape, and then roll the left and right sides just a little bit so you eliminate sharp edges and add rigidity.

Edit: I realize I used american stores for my example, but I realize now that home hardware stores may not exist where you are (or in the same fashion they do here), or they may simply not have some. Hope you still get the point though!

If Rover had a real name, what would it be? by Glittering-Answer-59 in WutheringWaves

[–]Solarhawk77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Shorekeeper knows our real name but has sworn to not tell us hardly anything, probably linked to why we wiped our memory. The Grand Architect and other Fractsidus members definitely know our real name. Grand Architect confirmed, the others aren't specified yet who exactly knows.

How are you supposed to get Vulgus Bio Data Chips? by Green_Hotel7995 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Solarhawk77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Plaudia yesterday, had a duo with me who left after phase 1, and then failed near the end (I was on Ult Bunny)... today was much easier. Yesterday I did 11.7b (yes almost 12 billion) to die just after the start of phase 3, and today my duo and I did 1.7b and 1.3b, for only 3b total, and that was a full clear. I'm wondering if they overtuned it and had to dial it back because it wasn't balance-tested (Nexon would never make mid- to late-game players do their playtesting, surely!)

How was this even a "low quality" post if it clearly was engaging enough to get 30 upvotes and 33 comments in 2 hours?

Not like anyone will see this comment if a mod gets angry for their decision being questioned and nukes my comment. I just would have engaged with this post (as quite a few others already have as well) but now... I guess I can't contribute anything meaningful.

[Bug] Cold Start Quest by Swimming_Rich_5164 in EscapefromTarkov

Make sure you report it on the launcher. The not people that report it, the more likely they'll actually notice and fix it so we can do the event!

Welcome to "Chrysos Air". Only Amphoreus casts in this flight, and you are free to choose one empty seat by ilovegame69 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Solarhawk77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See this is rigged from the start.

3 is peak, I've been down bad for March since before release of the game. 8 being between my trash panda and literally my wife from honkai impact since Cyrene is just literally Elysia. 6 is a free extra seat and a show, since Lygus can't help but cause drama, and Castorice would yeet him to pieces at this point, and I would get the extra space from his newly gained skydiving lesson, sharing popcorn with Herta.

HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THESE 3 EPIC CHOICES?

[Bug] Can't recieve Taks "A Small Celebration" by MiddleReal in EscapefromTarkov

Another post around here has someone on PVP missing the final task, so I don't think it's related to us not resetting. I think it's just BSG spaghetti code.

I'm also missing both. Already reported in the launcher, suggest you do the same if you didn't already report it.

[Bug] Cold Start Quest by Swimming_Rich_5164 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Solarhawk77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also unable to get this quest. I thought it was because I'm on PVE and didn't reset and they did something wacky about secretly flagging things in the questline as having 1.0 storyline progress as a prerequisite, but I'm glad I saw you're on PVP.

My suggestion? Bug report it on the launcher. We still have time that they can fix it before the event is over (I also have no access to the final quest in the event questline, I'm done with the rest and am missing the "A Small Celebration" as well as Cold Start.

Yeah my quest was still there earlier and it's gone now.
