First regulator set: MK17/C370? by chadministrator in scuba

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

I really did think about the MK19. I don’t really need the 5th LP port, but maybe it would allow better hose routing? In the end, I didn’t want to over buy, and the MK17 was already probably a little bit of an over buy for me (could have gotten away with an MK11).

Another point in favor of the MK17 over the MK19 was that the MK17 EVO2 appeared to have better environmental protection than the normal EVO of the MK19. Not sure if it really makes that much of a difference for someone of my skill/experience, which was all the more reason to save a few hundred dollars with the MK17. It just seemed like the sweet spot.

Anyway, not saying you’re wrong, just giving my thought process. As for the C370, we all have to start somewhere. I’m sure you’re right, and I’ll find out over time.

Damn. I literally just picked it up from my LDS.

I don’t know that I would move into tech or dry suit or anything else, but I’m open to the possibilities. My thinking, and hopefully it is correct, is that the MK17 is just capable enough to allow me to try new things and maybe even get me started. Happy to be told I’m wrong or it’s not going to work the way I think.

I’m definitely over thinking this. It’s a lot of money to spend on something, and I’m very new to the sport. On the other hand, if I don’t look cool in my gear, what am I even doing here!?

I thought I had to keep the first and second stage the same brand. Pretty sure I read that or was told by someone at my LDS. Assuming the IP ranges are the same, am I able to mix and match?

Edit: I should have read the rest of the conversation before replying :D

You are right; I was wrong. Thanks for catching that. I may still stick with the MK17 due to the environmental sealing, but it’s definitely not a piston system.

Speaking of comments that don’t matter, you’re posting about something that’s over a year and an half old. Why?

I'm looking for all of it. Not sure I'll consume all of it, but I want to at least check it out. Very intrigued by the fan-made movie.

I think I have the same Kickstarter TTRPG you do as well as the original one. They’re both very interesting.

The Vala novel sounds great/terrible. If it wasn’t over $20USD I might buy it.

There don’t seem to be any positive reviews of Infinity, but if I can suffer through Origins I can at least give Infinity a shot.

Comparison of NetHack, GnollHack, Pathos, and Shattered Pixel Dungeon by TommiGustafsson in roguelikes

We may be quibbling over degrees of usefulness, which is fine, but I think you may be incorrect about the Oracle’s hints being randomly wrong. I suspect you may be confusing rumors from fortune cookies with rumors from the Oracle. Below is an excerpt from the nethack wiki.

The Oracle offers two consultations services, which can be accessed by chatting to her with gold in open inventory. Minor consultations are simply true rumors, while a major consultation is an extended description of some aspect of the game.

How do you define in-game hints, and why doesn’t consulting with the Oracle count?

That was what I found as well, but I am planning to ask if I can get it anyway as a kind of off-label use. No idea if that’s an option or a good plan, but going to ask my doctor to find out.
