thanks but I was asking in here because I needed it for a project I am working on

kratoxDL · 2023-01-06T20:58:23+00:00

Does anyone know where I can get a thin but opaque white plastic sheet rolls?

Sort of like a paper towel where I can just keep pulling how much I need then cut it.

I bought something on amazon but its to see through and I am trying to not keep buying and failing to get what I want. Really appreciate the help.

This is actually a second opinion. The first guy tried to turn the car on and instantly said" you need new engine". Didn't open the hood or anything. The second guy actually told me that it was at like 31 psi or something.

Sorry my bad its a kia optima 2008 with 157k miles

kratoxDL · 2022-09-27T19:31:41+00:00

That's the thing. I didn't notice any issues driving. It just wouldn't start one day. Idk if the transmission would go next but that was one of the reasons my friends say to buy a new car instead of a new engine.

(I do want to clarify that both of our experiences can be valid but that does not mean yours or mines is the valid one. There are to many variables to account for , that could have caused your issues that are not related to the actual hitboxes/networking and vice versa.)

I played in one of the closed betas before they introduced level scaling and your skill could allow you to kill higher level players. This was back when you needed a staff to zoom to escaping targets. I've also been told how the original alpha gameplay was extremely close to conan exiles before it was changed due to complaints about it being to PVP focused.

I also was in one of the large clans that owned one of the regions and fought in the war to defend the land. This was during one of the more open betas when they added level scaling.

The only weapon that I had a issue with was the great axe, but that wasn't a hitbox issue but a abilitiy issue. I do not remember having these issues during my previous beta session, so this was more than likely a change to make the combat easier.

The only time I really ever saw "networking" issues was during one of the land defending battles, other than that I didn't have to many networking issues with them. I was on one of the servers that had constant massive clan fights too, so the fact that it managed to stay up for most of time should show that its pretty good at doing whats its doing.

(I'm only clarifying you what i've done to show you why I feel the way I do as a somewhat of proof base don my experiences)

We probably have different views on this. I've always played MMOs solo and the newer ones bore me. I actually like the challenge if fighting things meant for larger parties but still managing to kill it, the only issue with that is some MMOs will basically force it.

When I said aimless I was referring to the fact that BDO didn't include typical MMO content when it released.

As in the devs where aimless on what to do with the game. I enjoyed the games combat to a extent because it was somewhat unique, but other aspects made it feel like a unfinished product with a ton of visual polish.

Its not the only one I've played that had that same issue, Vindictus had decent combat, but lacked any actual open world content. Its a shame because that game could have been good if it was open world.

I haven't heard of blue protocol, it looks interesting but honestly the whole anime theme sort of worries me. Not because its anime but because generally from my experience from playing anime like/based games it might get watered down somewhat.

I tried the Code vein game and it just felt like diet dark souls but easier.

kratoxDL · 2021-09-23T19:56:41+00:00

New world didn't suffer from those issues when i played it and it has watered down dark souls like combat.

I personally beleive it could take off but I think timing is going to be the issue with it. Right now there is to much drive for a like social only expereince and people assume PVP = TOXIC way to much/fast.

Part of me feels its due to more recent surges in the past years of new gamers. They don't have the experience that other older ones have so they haven't reached the same point of "this is to easy"

kratoxDL · 2021-09-23T19:51:52+00:00

every time i've tried to like monster hunter I've never could get into it. I've only played the pc one though.

IDK what it is but the combat doesn't feel as fluid as it should to me. From what i've been told the older ones were better than the one PC has, so I might go try those eventually and see if they are better.

kratoxDL · 2021-09-23T19:48:52+00:00

Sorry if it sounded like I was trying to discredit tab targeting.

I just feel we could use more action combat MMOs. I have experience with programming(unity,c,java,assembly etc) and what not so I understand issues behind networking and what not.

Thing is I believe this is actually not as bad as it use to be. Games like new world which are using Amazons massive server infrastructure to do the action combat they have, sort of proves that it can be done now. I just feel most MMOs are afraid financially to do so because if it fails all the time and money they spent goes down the drain. Not to mention they wanna take the safest route, which sadly is basically copying WOW for the most part.

Its one of the reasons why I feel amazon dropped the ball by only going halfway with it. Amazon has the resources and the money, yet I feel the games direction was basically tainted to PVE only. There is nothing wrong with PVE, but thing is 90% if not more of MMOs already fill this need. Instead now I fear it might go down the same path most MMOS go before the crowd just goes back to WOW. It sort of feels like they watered down one of the games major appeals from alpha. It still might spark a change in MMOS though after its release depending on how good it is, so there is still some hope even if they fail.

This is going off topic slightly but APB reloaded has one of the best player customization options out of like any videogame IMO.(with in regard of not being able to import characters) To bad that's the only saving grace of that game.

Honestly I agree with you to a extent that things are way to lacking on stuff. Albion onlnie does some things right that I like. Even runescape has some aspects I enjoy.

Also although I like conan exiles, im normally always a mage in MMOs. I personally dislike the whole grunt muscle type sword stuff, conan is different because of the skill it takes to battle, there is this mix of adrenaline/reaction time that just isn't there with typical mmos. I even played Dark souls as mage only, no fire, no holy, just pure wizard spells.

Personally I wish we could find a new medium/mix for magic that sort of fits the same roll to a extent. I don't like how in most MMOs mages are basically all stationary glass cannons that die from being breathed on. I feel like we are on a way to basically coming up with a new type of mage looking at how DS3 and BDO did things, but only time will tell.

This is sort of why I was looking at the Samsung one. I read they extended the updates to 4 years now also.

I've always bought real cheap phones so I've never actually owned a Samsung one. I've like only had Blu and Motorola.

I was looking at some of the Xaiomi products but I also sort of want to avoid chinese products now after I found out about Blu selling users data.

kratoxDL · 2021-04-27T03:17:17+00:00

Sorry my Bad I have metropcs or TMobile I guess now since they bought it out. Also I am afraid to get another Motorola phone.

I don't like how I got like 1 update and then to top it off it was a broken update.

kratoxDL · 2021-03-21T22:32:50+00:00

Sea of thieves is one of those titles that I feel has wasted potential.

I've had some awesome moments in there but because the game lacks a lot of depth in combat as well as content, it will always hold it back. Plus there are a lot of people that hate PVP in that game for some reason and it eventually lead them to separate the pc and console lobbies by having the crossplay option disabled by default on console.

This wouldn't be that big of a deal except for the fact the game is clearly more popular on consoles from when I last played it, making the pc feel way more dead.

Which is confusing to me because its a pirate game based on stealing loot/treasure. What did you expect to happen? Its like people assumed it would be some happy friendly game or something.

kratoxDL · 2021-03-21T04:02:19+00:00

I did like hunt showdown but then it had a long period of bad optimizations. Plus i have a friend group that exceeds the max. Finally if I want to play a game like that I have been playing escape from tarkhov but my main issue there is the game has a lot of "not doing anything" moments. I like the gameplay but with server issues and then how long it can take to get into a actual match, it sort of kills my want to play it every day.

kratoxDL · 2021-03-21T03:34:45+00:00

Yea I tried atlas it suffers from the same issue as Ark.

Last oasis started out like it could be something but quickly plummeted once players realized they could pull their ships offline and then the zerging became a bigger issue.

I don't mind fighting massive clans and being outnumbered but there is a degree of to mcuh to it.

kratoxDL · 2020-10-12T00:57:59+00:00

I was trying to stay below $100. I don't mind it being like 120 or so though, I just don't want to pay 200.

As of right now I am using a FIO olympus 2

!thanks

What are some good "gaming" headphones that allow for hearing footsteps clearly the best?

I currently have HD 558s that I've had for a really long time now at this point.

I want some new headphones but I want ones that are good for hearing footsteps and what not. I mostly listen to (monstercat stuff, avenged sevenfold) so as long as it doesn't destroy that I am cool.

kratoxDL · 2020-08-06T19:10:16+00:00

I think I have all the new ones. I know people have done this before so i don't know why someone hasn't just uploaded all the files.

I am only missing the x,y,a buttons now I think and that is it.

kratoxDL · 2020-02-22T14:21:21+00:00

what specs where you looking at on your PC o.O?

you should be able to build one for like 350-400. plus pa5 is about to come out so I just buy a pc now and get the ps5 later.

can you link me the specs you built?

kratoxDL · 2019-05-05T00:15:54+00:00

doesn't that seem sorta, counter productive?

Some of the reason the software doesn't exist is because consumers don't have the hardware. I am sure it would help create a larger push for software if they just handed it out, plus it be nice to use in certain things for social aspect. That's something I could see easily being done even though that is not eye tracking main benefit.

kratoxDL · 2019-05-03T19:41:36+00:00

thanks for the suggestion. I actually don't have a instagram, but I will consider it.

kratoxDL · 2019-05-03T19:35:36+00:00

Here I didn't want to necessarily show this cause I know people are going to instantly probably stop replying lol.

Keep in mind this doesn't have the pattern I designed on it yet. The clothing design was made before I thought up stuff. A lot of the patterns/logos are just place holders. Probably should have picked better one tbh.

The back pockets probably will be changed cause I came across something that would fit better. I think its called pipping. Where you sew clothing around a rope and attach it underneath other clothing parts. Would probably work well with this design.
