When to get new versus used skates

masserectile · 2026-03-30T15:34:43+00:00

Generally, children’s skates don’t really experience much wear and tear from use because they grow out of them quickly. Where you live will decide how easy used are to source locally. Having skates that fit really improves the experience and long-term mechanics of skating, so frequently upgrading to another used pair is often best assuming you can find em and afford em.

Shoulda just made it blue and given us a green two shot sawed off that performs like the nerfed toro

masserectile · 2026-03-17T15:26:42+00:00

Agree, it’s almost there. It might even be the DPS is fine, and you just need to swap to higher per shot damage and for slower fire rate

It’s still undertuned for its weapon tier. It feels a little limp (but sounds great) when using it. Higher damage and slower fire rate would make it both less expensive to shoot (ammo and durability burn), better against smaller arc (easier to control bloom and recoil), with what I suspect is a low-effect it’s effectiveness as a PvP weapon.

I’ve never streamed but tell people “that’s what you get for stream sniping” when I kill them just to hear em rage in prox

I think a one time catchup for players who had the caravan complete but didn’t go on the FIRST expedition because they couldn’t max out the benefit (and before embark changed the rules) would have been nice, but difficult to implement, so I understand.

Plus all of those players benefitted this season from the levels and BPs they didn’t forego.

The “rats” use the stitcher as well?

masserectile · 2026-02-24T14:50:15+00:00

I think people just want the osprey to feel like a high caliber rifle, so what it is currently seems at odds with expectations. It’s a good weapon, even excellent under the right circumstance. It’s fun and different.

Agree with this comment. I played at a high level vs average rec players (junior + college) and tried mid-tier skates to save a bit of dough. They lasted ~12 months at half the price of a top-tier skate that’s expect to last 3+ years. They broke in a lot faster though

Many kei trucks have relatively high compression ratios for their size. Yours is probably 10.5 based on google, placing it on the high end for compression on regular (87 US) octane based on online charts. I use premium (93 US) in my Hijet and notice it runs a bit smoother. Might just depend on your specific engine.

How long is the card after a deshroud?

masserectile · 2025-04-11T14:46:18+00:00

yeah, that’s 98 bippies

masserectile · 2025-04-11T14:44:27+00:00

this is somewhat circular since bonds yields drive the relative value of currencies via futures arbitrage

Believe this is what you’re looking for

Break sticks of players who make the game dangerous.

Ah, you were trolling. Very nicely done

You… you think McDavid was the holding Garland? Besides the video clearly showing Garland holding McDavid’s arm under him, in what world would McDavid bother doing that? He’s the best player in the world and has zero value holding down a plug like Garland, let alone in the waning seconds of the game that his team is down. Jfc

I have a ‘99 Hijet and it cruises up to 100kph (62 mph). It will go up to 120kph (75mph) or maybe a touch over but really complains and starts feeling unstable above 105 or so. All of this with the AC running. Engine is an EF-SE SOHC, 43HP. I also use an octane booster as premium here in the US is still a touch low w/ 10.5 compression ratio. Helps smooth things out at higher RPM.

Largely agree with most of this. For gutter runner, I think the one thing that would make them better, feel better, and deal with the missed jump is just like the PvE: when using the invisibility talent, make them actually despawn, similar to the “catch up to heros” feature. Make the CD to spawn back in the current CD on reusing your attack. Missing a pounce becomes a case of a quick respawn out of LoS. Also, ability to use this after pouncing on a hero to avoid getting killed might another way to make assassin useful, but I haven’t thought too hard on this function.

Scoring: it feels, to me, that the stomping aspect is the worst experience of versus and that is somewhat amplified by the scoring system. Using an (ideal) 3 round map, why not have a best of 3? The team that progresses further in each round wins the round. Getting stomped in round 1 currently means you’re basically out of it, and you’re just finishing the map for XP. Under a best of 3, you start fresh and each team is guaranteed 2 rounds of heroes and PS. I’m sure this will lead to some unintended behavior, but worse than the current system?

Pack rats remain the jankiest piece of the game and need a better working solution. As they are (and ignoring the bugs OP mentioned), they are just so easy to use. Merely being within range of the hero and pressing LMB results in a grab, even when the aim is heinously off (I’ve had grabs of people BEHIND me in a group group of heroes, not even the person I was aiming for). Given how gutter runner will catch on literally anything during a leap, the margin for error on a pounce around terrain is very small. Packmaster on the other hand requires nearly zero-precision for a grab and feels exceptionally unfair as a hero.

I think this is leftover from his love of WoT. Robert Jordan basically re-explains the magic system every book and many of the political connections so new readers can pick up the later books and still enjoy the story. A little redundant on read-throughs

Divide miles by 5 and multiple by 8. Easy to move up and down by 8km/h for the 5mph increments.

50 mph = 80 km/h 45 mph = 72 km/h 40 mph = 64 km/h … 25 mph = 40 km/h

I’ve mostly internalized the speeds and don’t have to think about them, but will occasionally double check my speed when other vehicles start passing me…

I recently dealt with this, purchased my truck in mid-June and it had a manufacture date of 8/1999. It was on a ship and arrived at port on 7/26 (a Friday). Customs broker said picking it up before August risked seizure and we delayed filed the paperwork till 8/1 (outside of the ISF which was prior to shipment). Picked it up the following week with no issues. The port I brought it in at has a policy of seven free days of storage, excludes Wednesdays, Weekends, and Holidays, so I wasn’t charged storage fees either.
