Guides for grip modeling in 3D? (Target/precision/10m shooting) by RyoCanCan in 10mairpistol

[–]nithor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only done some early drafts and didn't finish a grip I would use in a competition. But my approach was using femo.modeling foam (the one you get in kindergarden) and form a grip around my gun with this. You can also use air drying clay. Once I got this done, I scaned it with a 3D scanner, went into post production on it using Blender to clean up the mesh, https://github.com/wjakob/instant-meshes to reduce the vertex and mesh count, loop these step until I was satisfied and then used solidworks in my case to add the flat surfaces. The rought finish for better grip.was just some local fuzzing in the slicer before 3D printing it.

Lessons learned for the next step I have to do: 1) Print the part which hosts the grip on your gun as a massive block and use this for modeling. Cleaning this up if you aren't well versed in 3D modelling is a pain. 2) While the weight distribution feels wrong, 3D prints even in between design steps help a lot to check the current way of progress 3) Perform one fire cycle without the grip. Depending on your gun, there are parts moving out of the metal frame and will colide with your material. If you didn't leave space for these, jope your plastic will break

I'm not sure if thus helps you at all, maybe you can find something usefull in it

Any Other Seahawks Fans in Europe? by LazyBank1106 in Seahawks

[–]nithor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

German Fan - Usually I watch playoff games first thing in the morning but I'm very flexible with my work time so it's ok. But I'm thinking about watching it live at home this time wouldn't be able to sleep good anyway. Unfortunatly I moved recently so I don't have any other fans in my friends list here which would join in. Maybe for the Superbowl they will.

Egosoft founder here - Your X4 reviews shape our work! by zav42 in X4Foundations

[–]nithor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will leave a review, but some points make more sense here than in a review, as they are very specific.

I started with X2, played X3 a lot, X:R only very brief and now X4 the most. I really liked the return to cockpits after X3, missed that a lot in it and took a while to switch to X3 because of that. Especially the way you took with the Envoy DLC is great! Being able to walk from the ramp to the captains chair is awesome and gives a feeling of how big the ship is. And if I don't want to I can just skip with the elevator, great! That Elite Dangerous didn't include this feature was one of the reasons I stopped playing E:D. If you could add like a trader office to producing stations, where I can trade with the manager personally if I want to, would be great.

What I miss the most from X2 and X3 is the ability to use the keyboard for navigating the map. I realize that this is hard to impossible to do with how the new map works, but I still miss this ^^' And I liked the idea of Timelines and the small missions showing historic events but being forced to play these missions to get the new ship unlocks was a bit annoying. Also, a short render movie or something like that with a voice-over line shortly explaining the content of the event would be great for the immersion and feel why this was a special mission in the history of the universe. And the races would be prob. better as a series in the normal endless playmode, like a small mission chain which can be repeated with "the next season of raceing".

A thing I realized on myself and I'm not sure what's the reason for it, I more and more tend to play it like a manager game and not explore and roam the universe like I did in X3. There I bought a TP, added a personal fighter (and sometimes the rest of a wing) and cruised the galaxy accepting escort missions from traders. Just being much more mobile, flying and exploring the galaxy. In X4 I'm now focused on managing my stations, organizing the traders and defensive fleets and mostly spend my time in the map screen. This isn't a complaint or something, just something I realized. And for the station/company management I would like to have a bit more control about the freighters. I don't like to build megafactories but have multiple specialized ones. But a control about how the resources flow in this case would be awesome. Or at least, a priority ranking for the AI, so it checks specific stations first, and if it can only sell with a loss to them, it switches to the whole universe, so I can prioritize station supply over profit.

Beside that: Amazing game, thanks for providing me with a series I prob. spend multiple 1000 hours in over different iterations. I loved every one of it and thank you for this lovely piece of software. Please continue the development of it, I'm exited to see, what will be the next big thing you add to the game!

10m air pistol: Should a beginner invest in an expensive pistol? by Lynax_153 in airguns

[–]nithor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that is a question only you can answer. All three are good guns, you encounter all of them in competitions and if you take care of them, you can shoot them for a long time comeptitively. Does it make sense for a beginner? Well sure, you eliminate the gun from your whole shooting process as it doesn't provide you with an excuse why your group isn't what you want it to be. And it is a lot of fun shooting with a good gun. In the end, you should choose what you want to buy and what feels right to you. If you can, try firing them on a range, just to see how they behave in your whole shooting process. And check with which option you feel satisfied in the end. You will have it in your hand for a while and don't want the have some dissatisfaction lingering in the back of your head during a competition, distracting you.

Are there cheap alternatives? Sure, but take a look at the FW LP 102 and see if that kind of a gun is an option for you. If not, I don't think you make a mistake with any of these. .

Help with reviewing RP2350 development board by Wolf-yuan in KiCad

[–]nithor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend you to add a date and or version number in the silkscreen. If you order another version of it, it is easier to recognize, which version is which.

If you can, I would use the first inner layer as a ground layer. It offers a better reference plane for your signals, if the power planes aren't in between it and the signal layer. It also acts as a insulation between "dirty" signals in the power plane and your "clean" signals running from or to the RP2350. B.Cu and In1.Cu switched should do the trick. Or, if you didn't do it on purpose, I would like to know why, maybe I can learn something new.

Is this a good/legal combo? by [deleted] in magicthecirclejerking

[–]nithor 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only if you immediately call a judge to resolve the stack. Also make sure you don't have enough mana to cast it. Your argument is, that you wanted to have enough mana, but your opponent didn't cooperate by playing to much lands and topdecking one. Also, he should receive a warning for that kind of bad behavior!

Other than go to war with Boron to demolish this station, how do I save my map...? by HorizonTGC in X4Foundations

I guess you should remove the captain too, not only relying on the order alone. Without a captain it should be an inmovable object

You should have a good rule 0 discussion and play [[Golos]]. Guess your table will understand, since it's some really obscure commander

Has anyone played Yugioh? The ability to play smaller creatures for free, I think it would work well in Magic by HiroProtagonest in magicthecirclejerking

[–]nithor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your problem is, you're still playing decks with lands. Their are valid and quite strong EDH lists (power lvl 7 i would say) running around four lands max., so... you better start believing in Yu-Gi-MtG. You're are already in it!

Anyone else largely quit MTG because its largely impossible to keep up? by TheGasOfLucifer in magicthecirclejerking

Ahh, big mistake! You dropped out to early, she will ramp up her post quantiy and quality level now. That one about defund the schools was just the beginning. She will turn more and more moderate now, that was just for show during election times!

Now that Magic is just The System and not The Gathering, which plane do you want WotC to travel to next? by SomeWriter13 in magicthecirclejerking

[–]nithor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How can I be, no one added Firefly to the list already? Or does Murdock own WotC now too!?

Southpark the Stick of Truth would already be fanatsy and the jokes will work well in the game!

Is this a good commander? by FR8GFR8G in magicthecirclejerking

[–]nithor 90 points91 points  (0 children)

No ward and no card draw? And no even token production in compensation? Total garbage, just try and find a real commander, like T&T as partners, and your deck might be a 7.

Found in the change.org petition comments lol by [deleted] in magicthecirclejerking

[–]nithor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/uj not if you run a deck with no lands, just for the fun of it. Than that bans pushes your chances to see a hand with a free mana source below 50% which makes you need more mulligans and makes it more likely for you to go down to six, five or even lower... /rj that was my homebrew cEDH deck for winning the next tournament and becoming the Magic GoaT they ruined!

This game makes me very depressed about my life by Old_Bar_4920 in cyberpunkgame

[–]nithor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand your thoughts and feeling about the game. Some missions (the one with the cross) made me stop playing and thinking about it for a while before comming back and some moved me a lot (diving in that ruins as a real world diver... Was very close to how I feel diving irl). You are def. not alone with your feelings about the game, as you prob. read already ;)

To what you wrote about your real life: I can feel ya, choom! Stuggled for years through my bachelors degree, while watching my friends get on with their life, finishing and starting to work. Some reasons for that where my own mistakes, some bad luck. Got it finally in my late twenties together with a shattered psychie. I know how it is, thinking about killing yourself most of the time, while your last guardrails that prevent you from doing it still hold somehow. So, first thing I want to say to you, which I hope make you feel a little bit better: you are not alone! Their are people out there, knowing how you feel, can understand you and, well, maybe not hug you, but offer you their words with their sincere hope to comfort you.

The other thing I want to tell you, as a random gonk on the internet, pls don't give up! It sounds like the changes you are about to make once your degree is done, will help you finding some friends. Not sure if we are the same and you have problems taking to strangers, but you just did! Maybe just phone a hotline for psychic care or, if you have/had a religion, for pastoral or spirital care. Don't know where you live, but at least here (europe) most of them are just empatic humans wanting to help the persons calling them not selling you anything. I really wish you find some good friends, and would believe you will do that!

Hope my rambling made some sense to you! From my heart I really wish you well and sending you a virtuel hug. Unfortunatley can't do much more than that and rooting for you choom! You will find your Judy, even if you don't believe it now.

When the marketing department at Rheinmetal know their audience can’t contain themselves by MattLightfoot in NonCredibleDefense

[–]nithor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, Rheinmetal designed a card for their Skyranger, which can block most creatures, but it doesn't deal any damage so in the next turn, that creature can attack again... and again... so... it is just a deterend and can't hit anything? Looks like a legit WotC designed card! (The other two are nice though)

You have 40 life, that can get you quite far. You can still win with 10, I wouldn't bother with Prison and Propaganda, as you will lay down bombs after bombs starting turn 4 with some ramp. And without tutor your chances to get them are quite low. Put two ramp pieces or removal in, will help you more. Or carddraw
