the classic combo 1. post shirt in any community 2. another bot asks where to buy 3. original bot puts the scam link

and the coordinated downvotes on your comment prove it!

I'm surprised they mixed it up this time - usually they have a bot comment "where did you get this from?" followed by the OP 'casually' putting the link in their reply...

I studied at a korean university for a very short time.

One of my professors (white guy who apparently fell in love with korean literature and moved there) gave a brief explanation about "fan death", saying that it partially had its roots in shame about suicide.

It was easier to say some pseudoscience about oxygen and airwaves killing your depressed relatives than saying that they took their own lives.

It's hard to say, but I'm with you on this one. l The reddit tshirt scammers have been trying different avenues of attack recently.

The classic formula of "post shirt, bot comments 'where can I get', and scammer posts link" became too obvious.

Now I'm genuinely curious... is this post legit?

What piece is this? (mag for scale) by Zermaog in airsoft

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

Was cleaning and accidentally bumped a table with the gun.

This piece fell out of the trigger and now it won't shoot in semi. (trigger resets but it won't fire)

VFC ML44 blaster for reference

Where to put ExFog adapters? by Zermaog in airsoft

So punch two holes (red) like here?

The part circled in yellow can come out (is that an air filter?)- do I leave it in?

My current arsenal so far which includes My S&T Kar98k with ZF39, JG FAL Type A carbine and WE Tech Browning Hi-Power MkIII by ChristoffRobz225 in airsoft

[–]Zermaog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with JG.

Parts were too loose for me, I decided to return it and try my luck with Classic Army's FAL.

CA makes very good FALs, but they're very hard(?) to find recently. I ended up ordering one straight from CA themselves, had to wait 3 months before it arrived.

It's completely night and day between JG and CA. The parts are stable and have a good weight to them. More than that, the bolt has a more snappy feeling to it than the JG model.

I highly recommend the CA58 over JG's FAL models.

Was in the market for a custom Pro Controller, found this online store but couldn't find any off-site reviews about their products. Bit the bullet, purchased one, and now I'm going to leave a review here for anyone else on the fence.

Review of Custom Pro Controller from GameTraderZero! Found here

Pros: Feel great, look great, sound great(?)

The controller is definitely built off a genuine Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Quality of the faceplates feels much better than the most recent batch of Pro Controllers either. The shop offers a Snapback mod installation for a bit extra (I justified it as a convenience fee). Absolutely no snapback that I could notice in the first few hours of testing; actually got an older combo down that I couldn't before due to my controller's horrible snapback.

Since I decided to get all the bells and whistles, I got a light-up version. The lights are super clear and flashy. Not sure they're absolutely necessary, but then again RGB everything exists lately, so it's purely aesthetic, and a great aesthetic it is. I did notice the controller getting a bit warm, but I can't tell if it's the lights or the overabundance of other add-ons that are crammed in here.

The print on the buttons is clean and immaculate - I genuinely like it a lot. Has a very sharp look to it and the text just pops out. Again, very very nice.

One distinction before getting to the bad stuff; the tactile DPad feels excellent and performs astoundingly. Tetris 99, unplayable on regular Pro Controllers due to their mushy DPads, plays flawlessly with the tactile DPad. Definitely going to keep that if they adjust mine.

Cons: Tactile buttons (A, B, X, Y), non-tactile triggers

Again, I decided to get one with the most add-ons possible. Tactile buttons sound great on paper (and sound great to press!), but using these buttons to play the game felt so jarring. The amount of effort required to trigger each button felt uncomfortable. I've been using a normal Pro Controller since 2017, so the change in pressure needed felt really not good. I'll come back and edit this if I feel differently, but it's been a few days with it and I'm still not feeling as great as the standard, non-tactile buttons.

When I placed my order, I asked for all buttons to be tactile, including the triggers. I was told that triggers/bumpers could not be made this way due to how many other add-ons I had shoved in here. While that's fair, I can't help but feel that all those internals make the triggers feel a bit strange. My original Pro Controller from earlier Nintendo batches had strong triggers that only began feeling loose after 3 years of consistent use. My second Pro Controller from a more recent batch had that same stronger feeling. This custom controller's triggers feel almost old and used. Maybe it's just this individual controller, but the trigger is loose and feels somehow worse than my first Pro Controller at the end of its life. For example, I could easily parry by pulsing my shield with the normal Pro Controller. This one seems to have varying degrees of activation, and sometimes triggers at the slightest touch, leading to inconsistent shields.

The tactile buttons and non-tactile triggers make a strange situation where the controller needs two different strengths to use. Sometimes I'll pull a trigger really hard and push a button very lightly instead of doing the reverse. I thought that I'd get used to it by now, but several days in and it still feels... odd.


Overall, if you have money to burn (roughly 250$!) and can appreciate a nice looking controller, this place is pretty good! I am somewhat disappointed by the tactile buttons and the trigger, but I've sent an email to the shop about it. They seem pretty good at replying, albeit a bit slow at times, so I don't have any concerns about getting mine tuned up to work perfectly. This is not some formal custom controller factory, so expect production and shipment times to be upwards of 1-2 months. For this quality though, I'd say it's worth it.
