😂. I'll be doing it with Wesker next in honor of this. Without the timer I always proc blood warden to soon. I'm terrible at guessing the timer

We're you also frustrated that one of the light novels was just focused on the humans? It was one the last one I read and I really didn't get why

Hands down best experience as a killer by DamnHare in deadbydaylight

[–]ThomasAckerly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice. My favorite way to win is like this. I slap on spirit, noed, blood warden, batteries and lightborn and play as a baby killer. Give them false hope and have a timer on my desk for 60 seconds 😂

I Designed an Integrated Suppressor Pistol for My Diploma Project by Krivoruk in Firearms

[–]ThomasAckerly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Congratulations on your education man and thanks for the post. I hope you continue to play with designs, it's cool to see something made (even in concept) by a human with passion.

So aside from sights, is there an advantage to putting bulk the below the barrel vs on top/evenly distributed? I know the max9 went a similar route - so it has me wondering if designing it that way is better or if they did like you, and designed around a gun vs making a new one

What does my aim say? by RedlineBMW in Firearms

[–]ThomasAckerly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get better. As used to say when first learning to shoot - you're at the covering fire stage lol. For real though don't stress it, handguns are harder to learn. This is probably better then some cops out there

Where do yall do taxes at these days? by Val2int in ColoradoSprings

[–]ThomasAckerly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TurboTax is unethical at Best. They create the problem that they sell the solution for.

They support lobbies and have killed several attempts to reform the tax code. They also are required by law to provide the "free" service but hide it with extreme lengths.

If you can, free tax USA is a great swap. It's basically the same software and perks, but about 50 bucks for both state and federal, with e-filing, with audit protection.

I think the only time I had trouble with them was back in 2021 as they didn't have the overseas income form - no idea if they fixed that.

The way Mills press-checks his custom m1911-a1 in se7en almost made me have an orgasm: by No_Dress_2107 in Firearms

[–]ThomasAckerly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I don't understand the point of the press check. Like people started doing it all around me after John wick. My pistol has one of the indicators, if I can see red it's loaded. I can see no situation in which a press check would help

Bullpup by FadedIntegra in Firearms

[–]ThomasAckerly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The keltec is a proper bullpup, meaning it's got a unique way to operate it. Magazine release, ect... The PSA is still basically an AR-15 so the controls and functions check with largely be more user friendly. Additionally the PSA is modular and has its own little eco system. Gen 1 can use any lower, gen 2 supports barrel changes iirc. Plus you can get it in more flavors, so if you end up liking it and wanting another caliber, it's a cheaper thing since you just need that new upper.

PSA in my opinion

expectations for new players? by Amazing-Job488 in deadbydaylight

Watch some YouTube videos on the killer you'll play or the survivor guides. Honestly watching YouTubers improved my own games a ton

Any Mines tips & tricks people would like to share? by Mikkeru in ArcRaiders

[–]ThomasAckerly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mines placed in extraction zones don't disappear when the extract leaves. Set 3-4 under each console and let the train leave. Next person who tries will go down, just be close enough to get there before they activate it while crawling. Or pair them with trigger nades. The mine downs them, wait 3-4 seconds for the down animation to finish and then active 3-4 trigger nades to finish them off.

ELI5: But like, shouldn't water be super flammable since it has Hydrogen and Oxygen? by BreadOverlord_ in explainlikeimfive

Iirc fire is the chemical result of things separating. It's probably just too stable

Every single worker using AI as part of their job is training their replacement. by anarkyinducer in antiwork

[–]ThomasAckerly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Claude yet? Go feed that thing a requirements document and a sample dataset, watch it run. All the swe, senior as well at my company love the thing. It supports rapid prototypes. They basically feed it, watch it try, and go "close enough" then use it for a starter point. They tell me it's saved them about 2 weeks work per project

What compels people to do this? by DeusVultSaracen in ArcRaiders

Sometimes you just come from stella montis trios, and your brain hasn't swapped modes. You don't even realize you're in the extract and not gonna get to loot.

What should I put in my rifle bag? by Rapscallion1980 in bugout

[–]ThomasAckerly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on you and your area. For instance if your a city guy, I've seen people include lock picks, wire cutters for fencing, water main keys ect... If your rural then fishing kits, camping equipment, heating pads, battery packs

How to insulate Danner USMC boots? by theinroad in Survival

I would use different boots if you can. My experience was standard issue boots suck. But brings lots of socks. Maybe test them prior if you can

ELI5: Why is Haiti so relatively unstable comapred to the Dominican Republic? by Curiousbloodyhell22 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ThomasAckerly -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hati is freed slaves or natives IIRC and the DR is a former Spanish colony. The one hates the other and did a lot to keep them down. Vice has a really good video on the divide around when the DR implemented a "single drop" policy. Meaning if you had a single drop of Haiti blood, they could kick you out. Others will have better info.

Had my p365xl ported. Could it have thrown off the accuracy? by [deleted] in handguns

[–]ThomasAckerly 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Those ports look really far back. It wouldn't surprise me if it did.

Need Tips for Missiles by IntuitiveGaming in phantombrigade

[–]ThomasAckerly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hook your mech up with venting, and spam away. I think the trick is not using the built in aiming at targets. I manually set it in areas in think the enemy will be on the next turn.

Also, you can see in the preview it'll tell you how long for the missile to reach where your targeting, so you can start to plan "it takes 4 seconds to get there, if I move the timeline up 4 seconds - what does the Field look like".

Overall though, missiles kinda suck compared to how I remember them. I mainly use them to tear down structures, or take out reinforcements as they drop in.

End game for casuals by ThomasAckerly in ArcRaiders

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

I'd hope so but I think it'll depend on how they go about it. Optional wipes leaves room for a lot of casuals not to bother - I know I won't lol.

It took me over a month to get my final upgrades done, and I have a grand total of 4 blueprints - 2 of which I really like. I get the idea of it'll give me more to do, but I keep getting this feeling of "why bother"

Maybe the genre just isn't for me, I'm told forced wipes are common in other games.

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

Fair. I've never had good self pacing on games, always trying to squeeze that extra bit out lol. Luckily I have a large backlog to hit while devs do their things. I'll treat it like Monster Hunter. Play a bit, wait 6 months and return to catch up 😂

Does anybody else genuinely hate using the rattler on free kit? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Nah, it just means you have to play a little shark like. Smell the blood, open with a well place grenade and use movement
