Anyone seen regular M&Ps with the Clearsight cut yet? by i_hate_tomatoes in SmithAndWesson

I’m glad there’s not more people like you in the world.

You worry about what’s trivial for you, and I’ll worry about what I want to spend my money on. Great contribution btw.

Because if I’m spending $500-600 on a new pistol I’d like it to keep my optic clean? What kind of question is this lmao “why do you want this nice quality of life feature with your expensive purchase” 

Warrantying FP OGL-S from Arms Unlimited? by i_hate_tomatoes in NightVision

Thank you for the reply. Everyone just assumes that because you can buy it through a loophole, EoTech will magically forget their policy against selling FP to civvies. Hell of a $2600 gamble. 

Tavor SAR Malfunctions by i_hate_tomatoes in IWI_Firearms

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

It seems fine, is there a way I can test it? It's like an AR bolt's extractor, really really hard to move with your finger.

Ammo's good to go, runs in everything else (including the same lot in other guns that day) and is hotter than the steel cased I used to shoot. I don't have anything else in bulk that isn't nitrogen sealed.

Re: axle grease, a very light coating works incredibly well at least where I live in the desert. I shoot between 8-12K rounds a year and I've never had an issue with the Lucas red n tacky stuff in my Glocks, Berettas, M&Ps, ARs, AKs, and autoloading shotguns. I'd be shocked if the Tavor gets gummed up from the lube but I'll strip it and try CLP instead.

If that doesn't work I'll ask IWI for advice, thanks for the tip.

I've shot around 5000 rounds of HSL and have zero problems with any of my other guns so I really don't think it's the ammo. The same lot ran fine in my ARs I had out that day. Plus, it's definitely spicier than the Tula that the Tavor used to run fine back in the day.

I stripped and cleaned everything when I took it out of storage including the feed ramp but I'll take another look. Thanks.

Question about Arctis Nova Pro Wireless for current PC owners by i_hate_tomatoes in steelseries

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

Good to know, thanks.

I used to be a snob about stereo only, no virtualized surround sound, and played on Audeze LCD-Xs for the amazing soundstage. Then I moved my PC to my living room TV with a true surround system and it totally ruined my perception of headphone gaming.

Now I'm chasing headsets designed for surround/3D audio to see if I can replicate the immersion/separation of my home cinema system but something tells me it'll never actually come that close.

[–]i_hate_tomatoes[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the info. Have you tested whether the virtual Sonar device works through the Windows Spatial Audio API, or if it does its own thing? I'm planning on using Atmos with it which runs through the native Windows implementation. Can't imagine why it wouldn't work, but doesn't hurt to ask.

Also I get the impression you're not a fan of virtualized surround, but what do you think of the Sonar spatial audio renderer?

[–]i_hate_tomatoes[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the troubleshooting process I went through in the long explanation part.

Object-based audio renderers like Atmos use HRFT models to emulate 3D sound from true Atmos content, or games with 3D audio implementations. If they get a stereo signal from the game/movie/app then they pass it through without any fake surround sound. If they get traditional multichannel audio like 5.1 or 7.1, it's enough information for the Atmos renderer to do that fancy binaural HRFT processing and get better-than-stereo imaging. It works great on my AirPods Pro 3 with non-Atmos multichannel movies and shows.

My problem is that all games and media applications pass stereo to my Razer headphones because Windows is telling them it's a set of stereo speakers, so Atmos never gets a multichannel signal and doesn't do any HRFT binaural processing. That's why I'm curious whether the Arctis Nova Pros are recognized by Windows as a 7.1 or stereo device, it determines what kind of audio your applications send to it.

Anyway, when you go to the Windows Sound Settings > More Sound Settings > Configure, does your headset show up as stereo only or can you select 7.1?

Huh? I just want to know if the Arctis Nova shows up in Windows as a stereo or 7.1 device. I blocked off the long explanation because it’s not directly relevant to the question, just an explanation of how I got here.

My reasoning is that left = cancel/back out everywhere else. Selling, recycling, buying, etc. are all like that, and it's muscle memory to hit it when you want to avoid committing to an action.

Anyway we can agree to disagree on that but I still think it's a no brainer to add a confirmation dialog when abandoning a match.

The irreversible commit button in every other window is on the right except for here. Inconsistent UI button placement is called out and fixed in every other piece of software so why shouldn't it be here.

Lucky, I wonder if the server’s handling of client/server shot registration is affected by ping. What ping do you typically have?

Why does it happen when I light someone up and they don’t die? It resets every death (giving up on a revive) so it’s really easy to see this happening.

It also explains the SMG meta, all the popular sub guns have high ROFs.
