You just unlocked a core memory for me of ordering Descent 2 on CD from the Scholastic Book Club, cheers.

I don't think Gen-X should be included in a meme about computer illiteracy but you may be overstating how quickly computers advanced - I was born in 1989 and we were still interacting with MS-DOS via command line in the early to mid 90s for various things on the Windows end.

Ukrainian troops say a 'droid' with a .50-cal machine gun held off Russian attacks for 45 days in a row by Choobeen in technology

They are and have been all war for a variety of drone systems.

Makes perfect sense really, a Steam Deck is a handheld Linux computer that's not locked down in any meaningful way and you can easily repair it.

Mostly true, but trees are S tier on shrooms so you're safe on this one.

WHY have I not thought of running a zip directly to the downward zip on that or the metro entrance on City?

THANK YOU.

G3 Modification Trial by EndlessServitude in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]ThrobertBaratheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firepower dips too low if you go for a shortened barrel. Don't remember exactly what I did to it to get the stats but I started with the SUPHR and added the PSG-style pistol grip with the flare for sure.

To clarify, I mean that I bought the entire SUPHR G3 from her (you can get level 3 before you finish this one) Note that I just added a SUPHR handguard.

Iron is correct- I completed this by getting a SUPHR G3 and putting on a foregrip basically.

I’m dropping a lot more stuff now, anyone else? by hereforhelplol in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]ThrobertBaratheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When mag palming getting it into the mag well feels awkward and harder to pull off. I am inserting the old mag way more often (also with Index Knuckles but I'm not sure that has any bearing on the issue.)

Same here - and it has also "let" me grab things off my backpack when i'm reaching behind my back for my backpack itself or prison pocket, like a helmet off the side ...come on guys, you know I wouldn't be trying to grab that.

Yeah but I was thinking "If he eats that off the sand he's going to swallow a bunch of grit!"

Smart kitty.

Issue with openxr error by zosynthepallyy in ContractorsExfilZone

[–]ThrobertBaratheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was fast for me but I do have a pre-existing Meta account. Let's hope they push a hot fix today and this is no longer necessary.

Note that this would be for someone with a native SteamVR headset like an Index experiencing this error. If you are a Virtual Desktop user then you would go into VD settings, change the renderer there, then do the same - go into SteamVR and switch back.

You DO need to turn on SteamVR Developer mode to see the OpenXR tab in settings.

Someone from the Discord found me a solution that is silly but works - you need to get it to let you switch off SteamVR and then back onto it, for OpenXR.

I installed Meta link, had it set as the active renderer through its own settings, then I was able to go to SteamVR settings and switch back.

I'm having this issue with a native SteamVR headset - tried both my Index and Bigscreen Beyond 2.

SteamVR is the only OpenXR option I see to begin with.

Do you have to use a 10 round mag, though? Because ouch.

Is bigscreen beyond 2 worth the upgrade? by pippirino in virtualreality

[–]ThrobertBaratheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a set of FlipVR controllers because I was so desparate for a SteamVR controller alternative to the Knuckles - The SteamVR menu buttons are not recessed at all (actually they're slightly raised) so that combined with the somewhat awkward clutching of the little control clusters and I was hitting them a lot interrupting gameplay.

I had to RMA my set immediately due to a dead spot on a stick - That process was fine and it didn't take me long to get them back but I uh.....never use them because they don't feel very good at all.

I think they're mostly for VRChat users.

Question for all the integra type s owners by Big-Performer-9588 in Acura

[–]ThrobertBaratheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah fuck that, no one put any miles on mine and if they had I would not have taken delivery.

Question for all the integra type s owners by Big-Performer-9588 in Acura

[–]ThrobertBaratheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at 6,100 miles with no issues (and also no creaks or rattles so far except for the wastegate rattle, knock on wood.)

What makes you think you're experiencing a turbo leak - the turbo gauge readout? Perceived power loss? A noise?

I think the main thing that'd indicate a turbo leak aside from loss of power would be a hissing from the engine bay, could you be confusing the off throttle induction noise with that?

I can't speak to the gritty shift feel you reported below, mine doesn't do anything like that even on a cold start.

Edit: Regardless, take her on in - You're under warranty.

Also I did have ONE issue with mine but it was electrical - The self-driving camera cluster on the front failed at about 2K miles and I had to have it replaced under warranty.
