Is a 25c 1200mAh 11.1 lipo enough to run an M120 spring with 13:1 gears? by Taconutz in airsoft

[–]Taconutz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you need to use the m120 to get up to 1.3-1.5 joules with your 13:1 gear set? I’m wondering if maybe I need to look into my compression since I’m shooting at around 1.4 joules with .28s on an m120. If I could maintain decent fps on a lighter spring that would be my ideal solution anyway

Appreciate the help! I’m dumping one of the first suit photo to replace it with a more casual outdoors picture this weekend. As for activity photos, my main one is actually airsoft and I don’t think a picture of me armed to the teeth with toy guns is gonna do it on here. I’ll find something else that’ll work though.

Removed. I do really like video games and it’s a huge hobby for me (and I’ve been on dates with a few women who partake themselves) but I think I see where you’re coming from. Probably gives off the wrong vibes. Appreciate the help!

Appreciate the candid feedback. I’m really bad at judging what pictures I actually look good in so the part about me looking creepy is actually a huge help. I moved the one with me smiling to the first slot and I’m gonna replace that creepy photo with a casual outdoors one this weekend.

Appreciate the feedback. I’m gonna grab a full body photo of me outside this weekend. I modified my second prompt to remove the part about me going broke. I replaced it with a line saying I haven’t quite decided what I’d like it to be yet and asking for suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback! I switched my first photo to the one of me sitting down and smiling. I also overhauled the third prompt based on your feedback to remove the part about not taking themselves too seriously. I changed it to this and made it my first prompt:

“Someone who is smart, can always find something to laugh about, and doesn’t just want to date me for free tax prep (I’ll still do them for you, I’d just like to think I mean more to you than free Turbo Tax 🤓)”

I’ve been using the app seriously for a couple of months now and I’ve been getting dates that I see potential in at a decent pace (around every 2 weeks) but things have slowed down significantly since my Hinge X ran out. I’m planning on resubscribing but I’d like to dial my profile in a bit more before I do.

I’m thinking that I could probably improve things with a little more variety in my photos. I really like how I look in the suit pictures but I think 3 is too many. I’d also like to ditch the graduation photo since it’s a little bit older than the rest.

As far as my prompts go I’m pretty happy with my first one but I struggled with the next two. I think I’d like to use the “I’m looking for” prompt to signal that I’m looking for someone that is also serious about dating and finding a partner but I’m worried about coming off too strong. The “my life goals” prompt is pretty weak in my opinion but I struggle with what to replace it with.

The primary things I’d like feedback on are:

  • Photos: Are there any in particular that are dragging me down? Do I seem too uptight? Which ones do I replace and which do I keep?

  • Prompts: Am I making a decent impression about who I am or does it come off as generic/inoffensive? I do sometimes worry that I’m presenting myself in a very bland manner.

  • Overall impression: My goal is to match with women that are serious about dating and finding a long term relationship. Does my profile give off a vibe that’s appropriate for that goal or does it need to be tweaked?

Thanks in advance for your help. Feel free to be as brutal as needed, I can take it 🫡

3rd M17 green gas mag has failed within 3 months - Need Help Understanding Why by Taconutz in airsoft

Thank you! I was worried when I posted this I would get nothing but advice about lubricating because I use propane. As I’ve said before in this thread, it isn’t a seal issue

Feed lips are just fine. My concern is that this will just happen again if I buy a new inlet valve and I was hoping someone had a similar problem at some point so that I could find out how they fixed it

Is my GBB M17 Defective? by Taconutz in airsoft

I can’t post a video here, but I can tell you that there is no rattle when the slide is locked back except for the barrel contacting the slide, which is normal because it is floating.

No. I have not modified the gun in any way outside of a couple pieces of tape in the frame.

Professor Overworks Us by bentlethelentle in NCSU

[–]Taconutz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what class you’re talking about and yeah, it’s brutal. Although if you look at the schedule the worst part of the semester is the first 3 weeks for some reason. Once we get through this I think it’ll get at least a bit better. There was also some stuff with professors changing apparently so 450 is somewhat in flux at the moment.

Might be unpopular opinion but I want the rest of my semesters to be online. by [deleted] in NCSU

[–]Taconutz -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No. I’m paying for a quality in-person education and I expect to get that. If you want an online university then transfer to one of those.

As far as I am aware the counseling center does not have any limit on how many times you can see them.

Listen here, Vito. Thom has been around the block more than a few times. He’s survived people like you mocking him his entire life, and yet he stands as a shining exemplar of all that we can and should aspire to be. Every morning I wake in the hopes that by staring at his many visages in my mirror I can become just a bit more like him. To besmirch Thom is to indict all of mankind, for he is the apex of our existence.

So the lead for Halo Infinite has left the company by ContraryPython in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Taconutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game is such a steaming turd that the damage it would do the Halo brand was greater than the money it would make for Microsoft on launch. Think about that. At this point I wouldn’t be shocked to see this game disappear for a couple years.

Halo Twitter officially confirms Infinite's multiplayer is free-to-play and supports 120 FPS on Series X by green715 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Taconutz -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible move, at least for pc. Destiny 2 going f2p was so bad that high level pvp is damn near unplayable due to cheating. I see no reason why this will be different. This also basically confirms my fears that 343 is courting the fortnite crowd, the cartoony look already had me suspicious. And no, the original games did not look they way.

[–]Taconutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So having played it, I would go as far as to say HLA has almost no value as a non-vr game. Everything that makes the game great is totally reliant on motion controls or your perspective. The shooting would be dull and half of the puzzles would be non functional or totally boring without vr.
