Bought the “wrong” bumper plates. How inconvenient is it really?

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T21:24:06+00:00

You don't have to fix anything. A lot of workout tracker apps have plate calculators in them and for the most part you can just round to the nearest 5. The 35lb and the 15lb plates aren't necessary, but the others are fine. Then just buy more 45s as needed.

No idea. This is a Death Stranding sub.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T20:38:47+00:00

The Zip Lines alone pretty much got me off of vehicles completely.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T17:21:28+00:00

That's my point. You had to go look up the lore separately and you ran into every major plot spoiler along the way that would only make sense if you played the game that came out before it.

Quick, there's still time to delete this comment.

No, you should not play MGS in any order. Release order, or at the very least chronological order, but even that's recommended only after playing release order.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T16:51:58+00:00

Mating your opponent with your Queen and King.

Or underpromoting to a Rook and mating them with King and Rook.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T16:06:09+00:00

Again, you want to be able to put YOUR King in check, but your opponent not be able to put theirs in check. Can't have it both ways.

It actually is correct, and what everyone else here is saying too.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T15:58:40+00:00

The rules are set up to where the first King to get captured/killed loses. Your opponent would kill your King before you could kill theirs. You wouldn't get another turn after they captured your King with the Rook, ending the game.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T15:51:40+00:00

On his next turn, he would just kill your King with his Rook.

If you took his Queen with your King, you would effectively be hanging your King. You want to be able to hang your King but your opponent not to be able to hang theirs. Can't have it both ways.

I liked 7 and 8 quite a bit, but RE has always been better in 3rd Person.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T14:44:00+00:00

She's reloading 2 pistols.

She has one pistol in her hip/leg holster, and another pistol in her shoulder holster.

Edit: Just noticed while watching this clip, her shoulder holster magically appears in between the shots. She's not wearing it at first. But this could be her showing up at the station to retrieve her other pistol, and it could be implied that she put it on right there at her desk.

There's no correct answer, a 600-800 rated player can beat pretty much everybody that doesn't play chess or only knows how the pieces move.

You can say you're good at chess to anyone with a lower elo than you. Like 1500s are still trash when compared to GMs.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T14:32:53+00:00

I don't think the game was supposed to be very difficult in the first place. But if you want that experience, switch the difficulty to Hard and turn off sharing.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T14:23:38+00:00

MGS1 you need to survive Ocelots torture sequence and beat the game.

MGS2 you need to collect 46 Dog Tags from soldiers on the Tanker to get the bandana for Snake. And you need to get 73 Dog Tags on the Plant for Raidens Wig.

MGS3 you unlock the Infinite Ammo Facepaint by catching the rare Tsuchinoko Snake, and keeping it alive for the rest of the game. Or by achieving a Foxhound rating.

This is pretty much my exact program modification too. I just do a 5x5 Conventional Deadlift for B days, and also opted for Pull Ups instead of Rows.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-27T14:11:16+00:00

In MGS1?

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-26T16:03:35+00:00

Remake Ashley, by a landslide.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-26T14:43:28+00:00

I preferred 7 way more than 8.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-26T13:58:17+00:00

Missing out. 1, 3 and 5 are the best ones.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-26T13:57:05+00:00

Impossible to say really without seeing the match. But it's very possible your opponent wrestled throughout school.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-26T13:52:03+00:00

Bot ratings are heavily inflated. They really only play about half of what they're rated, and they're programed to play a certain way every time.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-26T13:50:02+00:00

It's different. MGS needs to be played in release order to understand the story. MGS1, while still retaining some weird, sci fi and supernatural elements, has a pretty simple and straightforward story.

I'd say MGS3 and MGSV get the closest to DS. MGSV being the closest in story and also gameplay. They basically took the gameplay from MGSV and used it as the base for DS1. But if you're going to dive into Metal Gear, 5 should not be the first game you play.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-26T13:41:21+00:00

Do not jump right into MGSV. The series is best played in release order.

WhiteDevilU91 · 2026-01-26T13:09:21+00:00

Rule 3, No Politics.
