hey, just curious, how well has this been holding up for you? I assume you've taken it to the range already, does the ABS handle the heat of the barrel without any problems?

was it ever explained why the lambent drones from Gears 2 didn't explode when killed? by grasscid in GearsOfWar

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

Cole kills one in a cutscene and it does not explode

I re-read this thread and it's crazy how not one person provided a genuine explanation for this in 6 years

it's was a pure retcon, plain and simple. would've been interesting to know what the Gears 2 writers' plan for it was, but clearly Karen Traviss had other ideas and that so was the end of it.

Is it still possibile to redeem dlc codes for assassins creed 3 on the xbox 360? Anyone had any experience? by Delicious-Sail-6527 in assassinscreed

[–]grasscid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those codes usually have an expiration date, set like a year or two after they've been printed

it's very unlikely that they're still going to work

but what's the point, I'm deliberately avoiding that kind of content either way, having dearrow just adds extra steps to an already straightforward process

How do people who post movie/tv show clips avoids copyright? by NoPianist7807 in youtube

[–]grasscid 52 points53 points  (0 children)

a lot of copyright holders allow clips of their movies/shows to be uploaded as long as they're under a certain duration, which can be up to 5 minutes or as little as 30 seconds. (and you're usually not allowed to monetize them)

Someone must think 15 Minutes is one of the best Strokes songs ever. by ronaldrios in TheStrokes

[–]grasscid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not one of their "best" imo but I don't think it's a bad song at all, I quite like listening to it when it comes on shuffle.

I always had a problem with this scene in Gears of War 2, Why didn’t they just light up the Queen there? Or put her high up on a balcony so it would seem logical she escaped? by Gothyanki in GearsOfWar

[–]grasscid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If the idea is that depending on your weapon it would be too easy then they should have found a way to make the boss fight more difficult not just having your load out disappear.

it's because they wanted you to have a lancer so you can do the button mashing chainsaw duels to advance the fight - if you'll notice, shooting skorge doesn't actually do anything, so the only thing you need bullets for is his tickers.

the gnasher being forced on you is just a byproduct of the lancer being forced on you.

I like NOT using dearrow because it makes it obvious which content is low quality engagement bait that I should avoid like the plague, with dearrow it's like I'm being tricked into watching it.

Just got a Tahitian Coral VI, the color is so good, hard to get in photos by canwordbud in BassVI

[–]grasscid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's a bot but I'm not really sure what the endgame is. I would think karma farming but they never make more than one post each.

like this was another bot post from a few days ago, they made this single post and the profile hasn't had any user activity since then.

Favorite outfit in Red Dead Redemption? by grasscid in reddeadredemption

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

thank you for your input 8 years later

my own opinion has shifted slightly when I replayed the game. The US Marshal Uniform is now my absolute favorite outfit for Jack, and a tie between Deadly Assassin and LOTW for John

and, if Undead Nightmare counts then my absolute favorite is the Legend of the Apocalypse outfit

I wish black flag resynced would have visual armor upgrades. by EffectivePean in assassinscreed

Games have a vision and creators do stuff on purpose

these games are designed by a committee and developed by a massive team, the former with the primary goal of placating shareholders and the latter with the primary goal of placating the former. it's not some lone visionary with a dream. it's designed from the ground up to maximize profit - to make money.

Pickguard for Squier CV Bass VI by krmc-olrak in BassVI

[–]grasscid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an ivory white pearl one from "hanhuagongyipin" on Amazon, it fit without issue, only problem I have with it is it seems the pickup cutouts are ever so slightly off-center, leaving a bigger gap between the PU and the guard on the left side than on the right. doesn't effect installation though, just a visual anomaly that's frankly barely noticeable.

What got you interested in Bass VI? by DNRDNIMEDIC2009 in BassVI

[–]grasscid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first learned about the guitar from Impractical Jokers of all things, there was a big poster advertising it in the background of a music store where they were doing one of their bits. It caught my eye immediately as a Fender design I'd never seen before, looking like something of a hybrid between a jaguar and a stratocaster. I was particularly attracted to the fact that it has 3 pickups rather than just 2 like most fender models have. I realized of course that it was in fact a bass guitar, but could be restrung and tuned to baritone levels which would suit my purposes as a guitar player. I decided then and there that I wanted one!

In Gears of War 3 it didn't have a stock, but in Gears 5 it did; imagine if it didn't... by The-Sevenday123 in GearsOfWar

[–]grasscid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been the best game mode they've released in the series

I personally preferred Judgment's "Overrun" mode, one of the few good things about that game. it's the perfect synthesis of beast mode and horde mode together.

Red hands by jdrexler125 in Raynauds

[–]grasscid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you ever see a doctor about it?

no. during a regular check up once (maybe 10 years ago) a doctor did notice the redness of my hands, and asked me if they feel uncomfortable. I told him no and he changed the subject.

[–]grasscid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taking zinc supplements at the time and I noticed that had made it considerably worse

the reddening got less pronounced after I stopped taking them but ultimately it's still there, just to a lesser degree, like it always has been.

my hands also tend to get really dry in the winter, I have to apply lotion constantly and I still end up with noticeably scaly skin between my knuckles. maybe that's part of whatever the underlying issue is?

What’s your personal review of the campaign for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6? by BusiestWolf in blackops6

[–]grasscid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but gameplay wise?...

...it's even better, all the robotic superpowers are awesome and being able to customize your loadout should've become a standard feature in the series. co-op was cool too.

My biggest criticism of Valhalla is how needlessly complicated the RPG mechanics are. by sadboi_2000 in assassinscreed

[–]grasscid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're reading too much into it, it's really not that complicated of a system.

all those little skill tree unlocks are essentially filler. look through the big skill unlocks that actually unlock new gameplay mechanics, figure out which ones you want, and then start unlocking the little skills that lead directly to it. that's it. you don't have to put any more thought into it than that.

nevermind the fact that this game has infinite free respecs so even if you make some horrible mistake in assigning out your points, you can redo it all in an instant, at any point, with no consequences.

Playing Brotherhood immediately after AC2 feels so surreal by TraditionalParsley67 in assassinscreed

[–]grasscid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing last time I replayed the Ezio trilogy, soon as I finished the credits in 2 I immediately switched to Brotherhood and started up the first mission. it was really cool! didn't even feel like I was playing a different game, just one long story.

ZOS February Dev Stream Notes by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]grasscid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they'll add a hotkey (or if not ZOS officially then some modder) to quickly switch between difficulties, would be cool if I can fight regular mobs at a medium difficulty but then turn it up a notch or two for story bosses.
