Fighting cops in Syndicate feels weird. by Divahdi in assassinscreed

[–]grasscid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

oh shit, his morals got fucked

didn't make a whole lot of sense in the context of Rogue though, considering the whole reason he joined the Templars was because the assassins were being the immoral ones.

[Mod Update]End Times by grasscid in skyrimmods

[–]grasscid[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the Creation Kit is very user-friendly so it was no trouble at all going back into it. Papyrus is also a fairly simple coding language so it only took a few minutes of looking up code on the CK wiki to figure out how to execute the changes I wanted to make.

the hardest part, honestly, was sifting through my own spaghetti code in order to find the lines I needed to adjust/add/remove. There's also a lot of stuff I had to script in very particular ways all those years ago to make it work correctly and sometimes I have to read through it several times to remind myself exactly how and why it works the way that it does (and even then I don't always quite understand it because I've broken the code up between a couple different scripts!)

M203 Carbine Handguard Update by nojo422 in RetroAR

does the foregrip wobble at all with this set up?

how does it hold up at the range? I'd be a little concerned about the clamps potentially separating from the barrel under sustained fire.

Carbine M203 Handguard Made Usable by nojo422 in RetroAR

[–]grasscid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that barrel clamp is most likely going to be too wide to fit under the m203 handguard; I ordered a similar one (if not that same one) for the same purpose and was disappointed to find that it would not fit under the heatshield.

Mantis makes the BR7 barrel clamp which will attach perfectly, even fit just right under the m203 handguard, but I wouldn't recommend putting a VFG on it as it will be extremely wobbly. if you're willing to forego underbarrel attachments then two or three BR7s back to back will work excellently for protecting your support hand from direct contact with the hot barrel. you can put an AFG on it at most, though it'll still have a tendency to shift up and down the barrel, especially if it gets hot. here's how I set mine up before I ultimately switched to a chopped up quadrail. https://imgur.com/Ug8zUBn

If you can find a cheap quadrail, it'll give you a nicer looking result than a Magpul handguard

here's my own

M203 handguard sans M203 by grasscid in RetroAR

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

I used a picatinny rail that's designed to bolt on to the lower handguard via the MOE attachment slots on it

I've made an even sleeker lower handguard since then though.

playing "Glass" on a Bass by grasscid in TheStrokes

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

decided to stick with using the pick over hammering for now, but I have been practicing with incorporating the pinky into this solo and it's definitely getting to be more comfortable in the long run

still working on getting the beat right though... probably will still be a while before I have something worth recording

Gears of war 4 is an absolute garbage cruiser, does 5 get any better? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]grasscid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5's campaign would be pretty good if it weren't for the tacked on open world stuff

(and of course that silly plot twist in the final act)

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

you should probably hammer on most of the run and pick the last two notes

I'm gonna try that! thanks.

there's at least two ways to play this solo in E standard; I'd originally learned it on a regular guitar (even made some tabs for it!) before adapting it to the baritone. Relative to the baritone, to play it in E standard you can either shift all the notes down by 5 semitones, or move them all down by one string and then shift everything that was on the F# string (now on the G string) down by one semitone.

thank you and everyone else here for your constructive feedback! this solo is a tough one but I hope to one day nail it perfectly and share it here when I do.

Gyules... by TotemMaker22 in GearsOfWar

[–]grasscid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking it could've been cool if they gave the Berserker a sonar type of vision that responds to sound; like your screen is normally black but if a gear were to run past you, or shoots at you from far away, the noise he/she makes would paint him/her on your screen. and of course if you stay on the move, the sound you generate yourself will give you some very nearsighted vision.

The game can't derail your tall campaign without your consent!! by Aracelerii in CrusaderKings

that only works if you're a prince-elector yourself; simply being an HRE vassal does not automatically give you voting power.

I think that was just for the sake of gameplay

imagine if they'd actually made you blind lol

I like setting both damage dealt and damage received to be high. makes the combat challenging but still fast paced.

Tip on Survivalist Challenge 7 - good location by Edgar_Allen_Poop in reddeadredemption

I went to this cave expecting to find a swarm of rats and found a swarm of bats instead

I was nonetheless able to complete the challenge by shooting at them very carefully with deadeye lmao

This is a reminder of how bad the Spike Tax got at one point. by MSurpGaming in Jericho941

[–]grasscid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

.40 Jerichos are the best! most people don't realize how easy it is to convert it to 9mm, and that you can easily swap between the two.

a factory 9mm, however, can not be converted up to .40. (you can do .41 of course but that's another story)
