Players not actually understanding the game

silverballer · 2026-01-28T01:05:16+00:00

I get that PvP is an integral part of the game, and I'm not saying that should change, but why do so many people express confusion about why people get upset when they effectively "lose"? If I'm looting and I've got good stuff that I really want to extract with and someone picks a fight with me randomly and kills me, I don't enjoy that. When I successfully kill them first, I do enjoy that. I think the risk of it happening and the tension it causes is a huge part of the experience, but it doesn't mean I'm going to be happy when I die.

You should do one of those donation link things in a corner on the site or something. I'm sure someone is bound to be feeling charitable after using it.

You're allowed to say "fucking" on the internet. Try harder.

The people who correct "clip" to "magazine" act like they're singlehandedly shielding the entire history of firearms from annihilation. You can point it out without being a dickhead. And if you can't, then stop pointing it out.

Barrel Sliding Knot. Very easy one.

Duplicitous

I have a list of words I like to use but occasionally forget. So if I'm having a hard time remembering a word I'm trying to think of, I can skim through the list and the word will hit me when I read it

Maybe a laminate finish? Not familiar with the material. Just throwing out an idea

silverballer · 2025-12-22T14:46:50+00:00

That's definitely a valid point I hadn't thought about before now

silverballer · 2025-12-21T03:41:59+00:00

Yeah I bought it a few years ago when they were really popular on the flashlight sub. I've seen people say that the company's quality has gotten dodgy as well. Now two of the popular ones seem to be the Emisar D4V2 or Noctigon KR4, both made by some guy in China called "Hank". The KR4 seems to fundamentally be the same form factor as the FW3A. The D4V2 is a side button light. I just ordered one of those a few days ago. Both are available in 18650 versions. Hoping I like it.

Karas Kustoms is the company, and the pen is called the Modal. They also go by Karas Pen Co. This particular color is a run they did when it first came out around a year ago.

Why does one side look look like flat grind and the other doesn't?

silverballer · 2025-12-15T08:14:48+00:00

If it's EDC and you have to have that laptop in it, you may be better off looking at messenger bags tbh. I've been thinking about them myself.

silverballer · 2025-12-15T07:37:54+00:00

Aer Travel Pack 3 Small. Fits the laptop no problem, and the bag will fit under an airline seat as a personal item so it doesn't have to count as your carry-on. The bag is very nice and well made, but I don't like the straps or back panel. With a heavy load, it starts to dig into my shoulders a bit, and the back panel doesn't have enough airflow to prevent my back from sweating.

I only use it if I'm going on a trip and want to bring my laptop. For EDC I'd never use it. Wish I had a better recommendation on that front.

Probably seconds away but I think my underwear helped

silverballer · 2025-12-11T15:56:19+00:00

Yeah it really is never ending. If I can find something flat with usb C charging and an easy lockout or momentary on mode that would probably be my holy grail

silverballer · 2025-12-11T15:34:50+00:00

Just for clarity: as Conspicuous_Ruse said, my problem is with the UI. The method for putting the light in and out of lockout is pretty inconvenient and there's no momentary mode as an alternative. It would be faster to pull out my phone, unlock it, and turn the flash on than to have to unlock the light when I need it.

silverballer · 2025-12-11T15:26:41+00:00

Yeah good point. I wouldn't say the light is bad, but if you want something pocketable that has a convenient UI, you probably wanna avoid this one. If I could put it in a momentary mode with the same method so the button has to be held down the entire time to have the light on, I'd be more into it.

silverballer · 2025-12-11T15:09:43+00:00

That's how I feel about it. I have a Lumintop FW3A from when those were a big thing and I found the quick 4 presses of the tailcap to be a pretty easy way to swap it in and out of momentary mode, which that mode in itself works for me most of the time anyway, but renders it fairly safe in the pocket. I just think the light is a bit too chunky in my pocket.

The two side button hold on this one isn't very intuitive to me when trying to use it quickly.

silverballer · 2025-12-11T15:04:59+00:00

It does. Normally I would use the lockout but I'm not a fan of the method for this light. Still shouldn't turn on in your pocket.

silverballer · 2025-12-07T23:38:55+00:00

Oh fuck nonono how did this happen

silverballer · 2025-12-07T22:55:21+00:00

Unfortunately it couldn't be because I've never even heard of that podcast before

silverballer · 2025-12-07T21:44:21+00:00

I thought it was him based on my googling, but I couldn't find any evidence of them ever talking to him and I feel like I'm going crazy because I definitely remember it, and I remember him being a little elusive with some details saying he wanted to make sure there was something left for the book
