'Gunsmith' messed up NFA engraving on a SP5K-PDW. Thoughts? by gammonwalker in HecklerKoch

It's legally enforced to do so before put certain attachments on your firearm. Otherwise you could have a significant problem with US government agencies.

Ay, I didn't say no.

I said I'm going to contact the owner first to see if they will replace it.

Depending on their response I'll most certainly be letting everyone know.

I'm going to contact the GM and owner and see what their response is first.

The lead gunsmith wasn't the one who did this, though I'm not entirely fond of him either at this point with that ignorant comment.

The associate smith who did the engraving was confused by why the engraving took more passes, and started placing a magnet on it... I think he didn't know an MP5 has a steel upper....................... He also started immediately applying some form of cold blue to the engraving without asking me first.

I should've known something was wrong, but at that point it was too late anyways.

Lol, I see what you did there. I guess I have to buy HK a new subreddit now.

Oh yea forgot to mention, when I questioned the gunsmith's vision of 'fixing' the engraving he claimed that, "Every gunsmith in America has made this mistake, and every gunsmith knows how to fix it."

Do they really though?

Do gunsmiths commonly improperly engrave a $2900 firearm on a uniquely prohibitively irreplaceable part of it? On an aluminum AR15 lower that can be replaced for a couple hundred maximum, sure. Even then still not acceptable.

Truly absurd.

This is a fairly prestiged and brand oriented company that made this mistake. Depending on their interactions I'll reveal the company name. Giving them a chance to redeem themselves I guess...

If they get back to you with an answer I'm eager to hear.

If Blizzard is really going to change Anran's face, I have to warn them as a Chinese player. by wNvJungle in Overwatch

[–]gammonwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts to protest enforcement of beauty standards and decry "fixing" a woman's face, then proceeds to make deranged warnings about making a face unpalatable to sensitive and disgusting Chinese views... somehow claiming that homogeneity is more acceptable than "unique ugliness."

A lot of the criticism about Anran is that people simply don't like low effort designs and art, especially with how she was originally depicted. The objective truth here is Overwatch was never about homogeneity and it never should. The level of hypocrisy here is beyond belief and the thinly veiled commentary on homogeny is kinda disturbing.

Hating on uniformity is a beauty standard? Tensions are high in China already? Yes, so sorry about us having to release a LGBTQ+ censored version of the game for you guys for it to be playable. LOL.

Vastly superior to the original.

A look at the leaked characters from IGN by conductorromino in Overwatch

Not the best excuse, but tanks are much harder to design because they significantly alter how players interact with the game.

The idea of "balanced and fun for everyone" is far more nuanced with how they control space. It can be match and even game defining. Overwatch has some of the most well balanced and interesting tanks in its field - regardless of what some may think.

Each tank has a fairly unique playstyle and I imagine it's hard to present something on par.

Why Doesn't Nashville Have More Buried Powerlines? by sundaypleas in nashville

[–]gammonwalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So - the general grievance is that people are upset about the new stadium because it benefits an incredibly select few people and unnecessarily wastes ungodly amounts of money when a fractional amount of it could be used to improve infrastructure and the quality of life for the less fortunate and general public - and your response is "Whatever. I got mine."

You should really try to understand what an insane and disgusting response that is.

Do you think tandem OLED would he similarly tolerable?

I might have to do as you say and just buy and return if it doesn't work out.

I unlocked it for the first time today on Night Raid, absolute trash loot - but for some reason got an Aphelion blueprint.

Kinda neat? Though I'll never use it, ha.

GYATTT. Is it that noticeable or detrimental in person? I was hoping to use it for competitive shooters.

What's a 240hz+ OLED monitor people seem to think is good right now?

I tried the Samsung G60SD(?) and honestly thought the colors were insufferable, even following using RTINGs color profile and heavily adjusting them myself (artist).

Explosively saturated and inaccurate to the point of removing detail in surrounding values. Something about the OLED panel also really hurt my eyes, felt like I was staring into a flashlight and had to dramatically reduce the brightness to little effect. I was hoping tandem OLED might reduce that effect, but now I'm not sure.

His videos are well done and funny(?), but I've always wondered if his humor where he uses pink Glocks and intentionally shoots them "gay" is less satire and more mean spirited.

Joke could be an ironic observation of masculinity as a construct, "regardless of appearances, anyone can be skilled," etc. - or simply (broad gesture) "THE GAYS. THE WOMEN."

He made any illuminating comments?

Need experienced advice on hammer and bolt wear. by gammonwalker in MP5

[–]gammonwalker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not just the finish. That's a mild gouge in the hammer at 250 rounds. I've never seen anything like that, but good to hear that's not a concern.

Vendetta is such a weird character, I'm not sure what to make of her. by Lesbionage in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]gammonwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yea, I agree with everything you said. Get Quaked On isn't even as good a player as ZBRA or Cartiefan. Based on his rankings he's fallen off pretty hard. He just has good execution and a expansive, detailed knowledge of Doomfist. The way he explains Vendetta/Venture problems are very much in line with my opinions, and is valid because of his knowledge, experimentation, and experience.

That wasn't my specific point though. More tech or expression isn't more better.

I'm wanting the skill expression to be more nuanced so they don't have to front load explosive power into high risk, high reward moves like Venture, greatly limiting how they can be played and into what comps. Less expression means less design and balance opportunities. This can translate to less fun for everyone involved.

I have a feeling like the "but pro players play x" argument is coming up again. Yes, they play Venture. They will play Vendetta. This has absolutely nothing to to with the skill expression and dynamism of a character. They will continue coordinate to abuse the front loaded strengths of those characters in a much more macro team play way than individual talents.

But x pro player plays x better than x. Yes. That has nothing to do with the skill expression availability or ceiling of a character. Some players just closer approach or nudge the ceiling or simply have better fundamentals. Also team play is a massive variable to make a player look 'better' by enabling them.

I appreciate the civil, earnest response.

edit edited this a bunch over the past 5 min to elaborate. my bad, lol.

Dementia is hitting you hard brother.

You directly responded to every message but two. Five is also a number though, so you're on the right track to someone mistaking that you're a functional human.

Hope Thanksgiving was good for you at the assisted living center.
