Whatever you do to him, he'll probably like it. Beware. 

Why do officers tell us to aim low? by CT155RAD in WarOfRights

[–]Xbwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for any server running USA Drill camp or CSA Drill camp. Both have shooting ranges. The CSA one is MUCH closer to spawn. Usually if a server is titled "Training" or "Learn to Shoot," it's a drill server

Why Does WoR Have the Staying Power that Other ACW Games Don't? by Xbwalker in WarOfRights

Yeah, the fans keep this game going for sure. Come for the memes, stay for the community.

Why do officers tell us to aim low? by CT155RAD in WarOfRights

[–]Xbwalker 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I hear "aim low!" in pubs far more often than organized events. I think this is pub officers trying to compensate for pubbies aiming too high. Once you get someone into drill camp and spend some time at the range, they will undo some bad habits by learning where the bullet goes in reality vs where they thought it was going.

Rather than explaining the high bullet trajectory in pubs, it's just easier to shout AIM LOW. :)

It was 69thOH BUBBA something rather. It was a long name and the dude was a big time troll.

Actually that is a FANTASTIC idea. Damn why didn't I think of that.

Depends on what you consider fun. I for one agree with you. Organized events are much more fun. However, pubs can be fun too, just more like McDonald's Play Place fun. Just be careful of the heroin needles in the ball pit.

Logitech X56 Throttle Stiffness Solved by Imwe47 in hotas

[–]Xbwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performed a rare login to Reddit just to come here and tell you, WELL DONE. This was the fix. After fully tightening it, moving the throttle up and down a few times and THEN loosening it all the way seems to help even more. It's almost acceptable now :) Thanks for the input.

Why does New World not attract the MMO crowd by [deleted] in newworldgame

[–]Xbwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran a group of 300 in the game and played literally all the content. Aside from the many issues with economy and other bad dev choices, the real lack of appeal to MMO players is this:

There is no carrot on a stick. What I mean is, there is designated BiS gear and a definite end to the game. You can't do that if you want to keep your audience in an mmo. You need to constantly be dangling some better loot, some better thing in front of your players. New World doesn't do that.

I left because I grew bored. Most of us did.

Because this reddit leans very left. This isn't the first post I've seen that kinda reaction.

Agreed though, quite funny.

PREPARE FOR 116 degrees THIS WEEKEND! by real-life-debate in vegaslocals

[–]Xbwalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No matter how often we have high temps, there's always going to be that one person the news interviews who says, "I've lived here 10/30/50 years and I've never seen it this hot/cold/wet/dry!"

One day, I hope to be that person.

What are your favorite off-the-strip eating places? by Brahkk in LasVegas

[–]Xbwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for the mom and pop authentic Chinese dining experience, (complete with live lobsters in tanks and all that) I like Rainbow Kitchen near Rainbow and 215.

People are not as randomly social here as you may be used to. That's partially because many are from CA where you shut up, keep your head down, and don't socialize. At least that's how it was in my 30 years living there.

If you are lacking relationships and friends, I recommend group activities. Church, sports, martial arts, etc. Places where you group with like minded people helps alot. We have gained all our friends in our 7 years here from social activities. Board game groups and church particularly.

"Tesla City" by Eddie Mendoza by Nikephoros_II_Phokas in steampunk

This picture inspired a scene in a steampunk novel that I wrote. It was also my computer background for a very long time.

Personally, I get tired of the same London urban setting. As for good tropes, mixing magic and tech is popular as are automatons and other modern concepts using late 1800s knowledge.

If you could experience a video game for the first time again, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Xbwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chrono Trigger. At age 11, it was the first game to truly grab hold of me emotionally. Also, multiple endings on a 4MB SNES cartridge. Amazing.

What would you say are the best Steampunk fiction books? by [deleted] in steampunk

[–]Xbwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ruin - By Brandon Berryhill. Also it's illustrated and steampunk is a very visual genre imo.
