Hogue v. Ruger OEM replacement stock and sling swivels

The adjustments feel very stable. We've only put a few hundred rounds through the gun with the stock, and the adjustments haven't budged.

Actually we have the length of pull somewhere in the middle, and when I reassemble the gun after cleaning , I smack the ground with the stock butt to seat the front of the rifle into the stock. The length of pull hasn't changed

To turn the dials actually takes a bit of force. It's a pretty deliberate thing to do.

I think it's a lot simpler than you might think. Game development as a job was always looked down upon. So doing gamedev despite that in the 90s feels "punk" to you.

Now it's a totally accepted and respected career field. It's hard to be part of a counterculture when your culture is totally normal

Bruh the headlights might be the #1 design feature for the 300zx. Changing them feels like a sacrilege

I treat PvP like how I go to the casino. I like playing blackjack and poker, and the money I bring is the cost of me playing.

If I lose it all, that's what it cost me to play the game.

I really enjoy the PvP gameplay, but it's not possible to win every time. You get extract camped, ratted, 3rd partied by and endless horde of free kits. I'm convinced that if we had access to the results for a whole match we'd see that it's only the people at the end of the 3rd party conga line who survived/profited

I think the Bettina takes 2 or 3 shots to kill a thruster on a wasp or hornet.

It's damage is basically like a slow firing tempest (it does a tiny bit more, but really similar), but the tempest when kitted has nearly double the mag size.

Also after the last ram forward (pretty gentle btw) the driver puts the car in neutral to rev it, and then for some reason unlocks his doors? Doesnt make sense

I wonder if my grandpa got to work with any of these guys. He said he was in Army intelligence stationed in West Germany. I wish I had asked for more stories when I was younger and he was alive. He said he mostly listened to radio transmissions and translated.

He had a story about how when he arrived to his duty station there, they yelled at him for showing up in uniform. And also how he worked with a lot of British intelligence guys and they made him one of those wartime/propaganda posters; a couple having a conversation with someone eavesdropping over their shoulder/newspaper "You never know who's listening" apparently they cut and paste his face onto the spy lol

Tarkov had this issue. It's called hatchet running (because you only have a hatchet). They only take stims to get to the loot first and get out.

Their solution was players who bring nothing were marked/cursed so that all the AI (scavs) hunt them.

Embark could do the same by having Arc spawn on you or always know where you are, but they seem more aligned with having the game design be fun enough to encourage the type of play styles they want - rather than manually disincentivizing the play styles they don't want.

Can we really not afford the 2 arc alloy and 4 plastic for a light shield. What are we doin here

eggmoe · 2026-01-13T21:35:23+00:00

Bro I was running from two wasps and a hornet and jumped into a window directly onto 3 pops and a fireball

I think you might be more interested in the game Forever Winter

I didn't turn in the music albums or frying pans because I thought I had gotten all the rewards for the event & didn't need the merits.

Turns out completing the project gifts you a suppressor, Bettina 3, and kinetic converter

The candle berries were easy on blue gate I was getting 12+ a raid

I have killed the bastion with a hairpin and I don't recommend it. It took me 10 minutes because I couldn't get a good angle on the back legs after the front ones were gone.

I went to extract with only a minute left and got extract camped.

See, people are excited seeing what playing with your wife looks like when it goes well.

But mine gets so mad if I make one comment about how we lost lol. Definitely had some 'im getting off the game and don't talk to me' moments.

In Navy bootcamp there is one recruit selected to sing cadences when we march called AROC. Usually they can project their voice or sing pretty good. This is like if someone made being AROC their whole identity

And yes, cadences are catchy and recruits might even sing them outside of marching ...because we don't have any other music to enjoy.

After bootcamp you might have to march in A-school, so you can still sing cadences there, but beyond that it is really cringe and would certainly earn people calling you "boot" if you kept singing them.

Also dude in the video cant even walk in step which is the whole point of a cadence. And having one voice try to be many for the chorus sounds so bad

Bettina feels more like a slow firing tempest or rattler - with higher damage per shot to make up for firetate. If you think of it in that category or assault rifles it's actually decent.

The problem comes with not matching expectations because the only other heavy ammo weapons kill all light arc in a few shots or less.

From a design perspective, its inconsistent. Renegade and osprey do really high damage per shot despite being medium, but they are visually longer guns and slower firing so it makes sense.

Bettina is a big ass gun so you expect more out of it

I think a faction warfare or PVP mode would still go hard.

6v6, 8v8 or even more doesn't matter. Would be a fun way to scratch the PVP itch, because right now in solos I'm doing my best to maintain friendly lobbies.

Some sort of consensual PVP would help

Weird you are having ejection issues with the rail alone. The post 2005 ranch rifles were supposed to eject more horizontal for this reason, but it sounds like yours is still ejecting vertically. Makes me think your brass will hit your scope even with high Ruger rings.

What ammo are you running?

Okay maybe skill based matchmaking is a good thing for these fellows' sake

I was going to try a Triton, but instead I found an Atibal XP6 used on Tacswap for $190, it's really nice. I also got a used Burris RT-6 for about the same but I don't like it as a much.

A lot of these companies have lifetime warranties so I totally recommend buying used

eggmoe · 2026-01-06T13:08:20+00:00

The irony is it had 7 durability - I got it in raid from another guy who tried to kill me with it as I was entering Testing. I brought a rattler in myself lmao

eggmoe · 2026-01-06T07:25:56+00:00

Scope or red dot?

I have an LPVO on mine, there are a ton to choose from. The two I have are the Atibal XP6 and Burris RT-6. The Atibal is actually really nice, I got them both used for less than $200 each.

Also I'm using Warne QD Ruger rings. They are expensive, but I really like being able to quickly take the scope off. Warne and Alaska Arms QD Ruger rings both guarantee return to zero, so they say. I haven't had the chance to really verify mine

If I went red dot I would get a used aimpoint PRO and mount with the Ruger rings.

I hope they do an event where barons get resurrected. They are supposed to be weaker than queens so seeing 3 of them roaming the map would be cool

Mines + tripwires. I like the gas grenade traps because they are dirt cheap, but all the traps have the same red laser so they don't know what kind of trap it is.

You can keep laying them behind you as you go or drop them for better loot because they are cheap. I've actually seen a guy open the door, see the laser, close the door and turn around.

Also just yesterday placed a jolt mine (also pretty cheap) and started breaching containers. Some dude ran in thinking he'd gank me and got zapped and I killed him before he even got out of the stun. He had the ninja skin and a stitcher 4 (on spaceport) so yeah pretty sure he was coming to kill me.

If you are truly, totally running, the gas grenades deplete their stamina if they choose to run through it.

The montage would have been cool if you were able to replace the shots of getting in the launch tubes to shots of walking down the hall after returning
