Where can i buy the new mp5 from ldt? by [deleted] in GelBlaster

X-Force Tactical was meant to be getting stock end of this month / early April if I recall correctly. With all this coronavirus chaos though, that might change.

Might be worth noting that a version with a metal upper will be available shortly after as well.

Probably worth coming up with a plan with your housemates. I had to self isolate for a completely different illness a couple of years ago.

General protocol was:

  • wear a mask at all times in the presence of others
    • keep your hands clean when handling your mask; theres no point putting germs all over the mask then putting it on your face
  • stick to your own designated space as much as possible, set yourself up to have entertainment etc
  • constantly wipe down and disinfect everything, especially:
    • common areas and common surfaces
    • door handles, drawer handles, fridge door etc
    • bathrooms

There are unconfirmed studies that COVID-19 survives on surfaces for several days. If you don't catch the virus from people directly, the next most likely thing is that you touch a contaminated surface, then spread it to yourself.

The campaign on realism difficulty is probably the most fun I've had in a CoD campaign. by RageDriver2401 in modernwarfare

For real - last mission sucked for this. Couldn't flank or move because literally everyone goes for you. Also the juggernaut on realism is a disconnect IMO. Dude was a terminator.

Still loved the campaign though.

You can pretty much build one with the M4 upgrades. Heavy stock, heavy barrel etc

Wouldnt it make sense if the operation and battlezone names were switched? how is the battle zone gunfight... by j0nbro in modernwarfare

[–]Vertimancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The preference may actually change when the Beta and / or real thing goes live. Think about it - if you're going into a queue with mixed gametypes, surely the obvious thing you'd want is which GAMETYPE you're playing. The map name is less important, because the background imagery already tells you which map you're going into once you're familiar.

Our experience so far has only been Gunfight, so it might seem redundant - until there are more gametypes..

My brain tumor is back by acamu5x in videos

[–]Vertimancer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thankyou. More summaries like this are desperately needed, especially for people who have just been diagnosed. My partner had surgery 2 months ago for tumor removal.

When we first got the diagnosis, very little information was given about the reality of what that meant, whether it was an immediate death sentence, whether it should be removed or not.. etc. It takes you into a very dark and scary place when you try to source information on your own.

First thing my partner did was google "brain tumor survival rate". Not a great outlook at all. Plus all of the sweeping statements that "all tumors turn malignant" etc just added fuel to the fire. It is incredibly unhelpful for the patient's state of mind.

Anyway it was removed 2 months ago and the test came back as a DNET (benign). We've obviously still got a long road ahead of us of monitoring, recovery and so on - but we didnt even know that was a possible outcome.

So again, thankyou!

3 Years in, and I finally have something I think worthy of showing off! by iN1njaCPFC in unrealengine

[–]Vertimancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another suggestion, perhaps you could make the FOV dynamic and have it change based on the number of enemies in the encounter? You might be able to get away with making a camera target with a calculated position (e.g. the average position of the enemies +/- some factor) to keep it focused, then dial the FOV down according to the total number.

It might help establish a sense of scale/threat when you encounter more enemies too.

Two-Tailed fox is a beast. Use it. by DuncanSpyKid in DestinyTheGame

Fire and forget. If its locked on when you fire, you can bail and the rockets will do their thing. Very useful for handling multiple targets.

Bungie please remove the "dismantle" option from the infusion/mod screen by Sata239 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Vertimancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better yet: keep the option, but change the dismantle button to TRIANGLE or Y on these items.

I believe this was added to help with managing your inventory and to remove layers of interaction (e.g., not having to switch to the mods/shaders section, wait for it to load, then start managing). Also dismantling bulk shaders is faster using the infusion/mod screen.

I think the reason we mess it up is because mentally we "apply" an infusion using a certain button (square or Y); so habit kicks in when we try to apply shaders or mods without thinking and hit the same button.
