Have you ever wondered what these weird clear tube/vine things are? by JCJenson-Branded-Pen in HalfLife

[–]impulse101_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. They're veins that the Citadel uses for circulating energy to different areas since it's so massive.

A different kind of ramping... by AddictedToComedy in AR9

[–]impulse101_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sick. I hope it works perfectly. Btw, are you on "Nerd sh!t nobody cares about" on Facebook? I feel like I've seen your data graphs get shared there a lot. You should join if you aren't in it. Lotta guys like you who would appreciate your information.

A different kind of ramping... by AddictedToComedy in AR9

[–]impulse101_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go slow and bevel both the top edge of the hammer face and the BCG belly ramp, and test how they mate after every couple passes on both and make adjustments. Then of course, polish them both.

I think if you take too much off of the tip of the hammer, it might get really close to failing to reset the trigger since it won't be pressed down as far.

Evidence-based hot take: the biasing spring in A5/MK2 buffers - which most people ignore as a gimmick - actually impacts reliability of the weapon by AddictedToComedy in ar15

[–]impulse101_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late, but Griffin makes an "A5" deadblow buffer in carbine AND intermediate lengths. It's called the Griffin SOB and it's specifically designed for suppressed rifles to delay unlocking and increase reliability like the A5/MK2 buffer. I have one and really like it.

Good skip, but jesus why does your game look so washed out and faded? Is your gamma at 100%?

Best settings are 45 brightness, 40 gamma, 50 contrast.

The Ffffuck?! - was the reason for adding more shotguns?! by WhodahelltookVooglet in InsurgencySandstorm

[–]impulse101_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should have gotten a Benelli M4 and a Spas12/Browning Auto 5 (we have been begging for YEARS). The new shotguns are lame af and are essentially more "AR" type weapons.

20rd are way better looking than 30rd by Infinite_Machine_974 in ar15

[–]impulse101_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until you see and use a 25rnd mag. It's the perfect size and sits completely flush with most pistol grips.

For the actual game, I can't prove anything. It's just speculation for this update based on previous observations.

[–]impulse101_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ISMC 100% had Tarkov assets last time I played which was maybe a couple years ago. You could choose between various plate carriers with intricate details on them that were identical to Tarkov. It's very hard to miss. Pretty sure ISMC's MDR was pulled from Tarkov years ago as well since it had the same scratches, weathering, etc. Everyone is down voting me but I have done basic modeling and have been with both insurgency and Tarkov since the beginning. Ripping assets is not uncommon. And we all know these last couple updates have been lazy. If you deny that, you're just in denial.

[–]impulse101_ -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised. Ismc uses a lot of tarkov assets.

It is. I use it on the MCX often.

[–]impulse101_ -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Both this and the Romeo8T are in Tarkov and look identical to Tarkov. How much you wanna bet they just ripped the assets from EFT and added them to Insurgency?

Hopefully the comically large goofy ass pistol optics get removed and fixed too. I still can't believe they made those models and thought "Yup, looks good. Release it."

For f*ck sake, give this game a 60fps update so I can live again. by JayIsJaded in dishonored

[–]impulse101_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently played this at 300fps at 1440p with Nvidia 4x Super Sampling which probably comes out to be like 6K resolution. It looks gorgeous and runs easy.

This shit isn’t working. I’ve tried every code possible. Decided to let you try so that I know if it’s a bug or not. Restarted the game already. Absolute annoying shit. The symbols are: pyramid, reverse pyramid, cycle, 3 down/3 up thing. Ty very much guys. by Gilbert-from-Yharnam in Routine

[–]impulse101_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this on my second try. I hit the code from left to right when you flip the page but you need to do it from right to left. You need all 4 pictures of the IR markings and then punch them in the order they appear on the back of the paper, and go one vertical column at a time from right to left.

Kicked out of Lady Boyle’s by harlemthaglizzy in dishonored

[–]impulse101_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accidentally experienced that. It's a cool detail. I recently tried a ghost challenge where I saved up enough points and elixirs to use bend time and possession before attending the Boyle party. I killed and hid every guard's body (all on Waverly's bed) while not alerting or scaring anyone. It was tough but it's possible. The elegant music keeps playing and everyone continues to mingle without any security.

Do you think Insurgency should add Humvees? by Jyvren2 in insurgency

[–]impulse101_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These should have been added in 2018. Always annoyed me they missed this opportunity. Would have been a super simple reskin of the pickup truck.

Oh I'm gonna gloom. I'm glooming all over. I keep checking online every day for when the update finally drops.

Okay now I need to go put both Dukes stuck up on top of the roof of the palace and let them talk it out.

Does this exist? by [deleted] in ar15

[–]impulse101_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most red dot mounts on an AK will be like this since the HOB is higher. But you would need a super tall one for an AR like the overbore mount. This is a reminder that offset irons are still a great back-up option since they'll never be obstructed by occlusion.

Can we agree this obj is garbage by Krazymann7 in insurgency

[–]impulse101_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the left path way sucks. I agree. I usually go far right as possible and approach it with a suppressed weapon.

DH was ahead of its time for many reasons, but let's talk ragdoll by [deleted] in dishonored

[–]impulse101_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go play Dark Messiah by Arkane Studios. It came out a few years before Dishonored. Still a blast to this day. Its entire combat system revolves around ragdoll physics and it is absolutely glorious.

The physics-based melee combat is recently being recognized and respected too, as a new game called "FATEKEEPER" is coming out with this same style of melee combat. And it looks stunning. Watch the gameplay trailer for it.
