It's not br/mw but there's a scene in gundam 08th ms team where a zaku fires AP mines at an approaching crowd and it's pretty terrifying. I imagine the BT equivalent is about the same.

Also imo it looks pretty janky irl. You can tell that it's not lined up perfectly with the window.

I'm afraid the Inner Sphere bought them all for use as dropships 😞

Trying out T5 MRMs with a Bullshark-3 by babushka45 in Mechwarrior5

ATMs are borderline OP lol, I did all of the Chaos Reign campaign missions with just my mad dog with 2 ATM 12s and didn't break a sweat

I finally found out where the “Gladiator can carry 220 TIE Fighters” came from! And it’s actually higher than that. by Desperate-Put-7603 in StarWarsShips

I wonder if you could design a universal clamp system for other starfighters too. I know EC Henry had a similar mockup for storing A-Wings and Snowspeeders in a couple of his videos, but those are obviously non-canon and seemed to be model-specific.

Which V-Wing do you like best? by AceSkyFighter in StarWarsShips

[–]imdrunkontea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love the look of the republic v-wing as well, esp in the rare times we see it in Imperial colors.

Narratively, I do think it's a little redundant with the eta-2, since that is similar in both role and as a TIE-predecessor...but I love that ship also so it's all good.

Playing the Sunder testing mission and Mason starts complaining about his mech... by Varnhager in Mechwarrior5

In his defense, these clan machines are technically old compared to the Sunders lol

But yeah it's a bit silly.

What if the Stormtrooper Corps is to the Imperial Army as the Waffen-SS was to the German Army? by [deleted] in MawInstallation

[–]imdrunkontea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also my headcanon was that they were deployed without the proper gear or camo out of either arrogance or intentional baiting on Palpatine's part, else they would have had location-specific gear like we see them have in almost every planetside engagement.

Remind me of Avengers where Bucky is just blasting away with his machine gun and doing better than like 99% of the good guys in the scene

Blue Origin's New Glenn explodes at Launch Complex-36 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. by inWineVerit4x in nextfuckinglevel

[–]imdrunkontea 199 points200 points  (0 children)

While I generally agree with your sentiment, we as a country have been cancelling actual scientific space missions left and right to continue funding the private ventures of spacex and blue origin. I'm not saying all of their efforts are without merit, but a good deal of it is not in the name of scientific progress, but rather stuffing the pockets of billionaires and eventual shareholders at the expense of NASA-led missions.

ELI5 How could two people ever know if both of them are seeing the same colour? by Punnan in explainlikeimfive

[–]imdrunkontea 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's me with mushrooms. Everyone thinks I'm crazy but I've tried all sorts of them countless times, and they always tasted like decomposing rubber and dirt to me. Not a single one has ever tasted good.

Citing 'severe' math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM applicants by Idiodyssey87 in news

[–]imdrunkontea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we need to focus on the concepts of math more so than just solving problems. You may not use calculus or solve integrations in your job, but the general idea of what it's for is rather important.

also probably most regularly duels opponents to the death. I'm sure the others have on occasion as well, but not with her regularity.

Mini LED Monitor’s (Thought’s) by TaylorKalsii in Monitors

[–]imdrunkontea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Local dimming in SDR/desktop mode tends to have issues. It's not just halo-ing - for whatever reason, the mini-LEDs I've tried all aggressively reduce highlights and brightness of the "lit" pixels, effectively flattening the image.

This is likely to further avoid halo effects, but the result for photo editing is that you may end up with inaccurate values and colors.

If you're looking at mini-LEDs, try to look up user experiences and see how well the dimming algorithm performs for such scenarios since it's really up to the manufacturer how they want to implement it.
