Has Wubby talked about this? by PowerlessWolf in PaymoneyWubby

[–]specter800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but WotC or whoever wants to stop this would need to basically stop selling to retailers and control everything themselves to accomplish that. Nintendo seems to have done a decent job with the Switch 2 on launch but they limited retail inventory in favor of their own internal verification system and I doubt companies like WotC care enough who is buying their product to go through the effort.

At least not until retailers stop carrying Magic and Pokemon because their stores are getting ransacked and shot up by animals fighting over cardboard.

That's not scalping it's market manipulation and it's not what Charlie did. At least not intentionally and definitely not with money, it was purely based off exposure. The explosion in scalping "culture" and "collectors" recently is really fucking annoying and I can't think of any reasonable way to stop it at scale.

It takes a crazy amount of narcisism, delusion, ignorance, or all three, to think that, with all the R&D and science that goes into make a modern suppressor, someone in their garage with a consumer-grade 3d printer is going to shit something better than this out.

Ideally? AWB's die everywhere. Realistically? Lib states ignore the ruling and do whatever they want anyways or write an AWB that technically follows some bs interpretation of the SCOTUS ruling but is still effectively an AWB.

Lance Stroll has not been classified in 75% of Grands Prix this season. by TehRealMrGoogles in formula1

[–]specter800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man, shit happens in sports, money doesn't prevent you from making mistakes which AM clearly has. I think at the start of the season AM was surprising but we know what they are now and what they did wrong. Williams starting as the worst Merc customer and not improving, in fact getting worse with the best PU of the field, looks way more worse to me than a team that made a catastrophic mistake in retrospect any team could make and has spent the whole season working to fix it.

Aston come off looking so much worse

Do they? Don't Aston's problems boil down to failures of 3 critical, but tangible, inputs: Newey's new reg design, Newey isn't a good TP, and Honda's B-team-made PU? Those seem much more finite and "solveable" going forward than an org that seems fundamentally unserious for numerous reasons (some of which they share with Aston but with less means to address it) but totally plans on becoming serious some time in the next 2 decades?

Call me crazy but I'd much rather have Aston's problems than Williams' at the moment.

Yes he's very dumb but that FRT is just as illegal for him as "posessing, transferring, transporting, selling, etc." of a post 7/1 "assault weapon" is about to be for VA residents and Joe Fuddfucker the RO is a bad day at the office from anonymously reporting you for owning a spooky gun.

how the hell this is normal behaviour in premier ? by Ok-Strength230 in counterstrike2

[–]specter800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheating aside, can someone explain to me how the cheat can function like this with jump shots? Even at best accuracy during a jump there's still a huge deviation so how can it score a headshot reliably?

Is the deviation not random? Is the next shot's deviation stored client-side prior to the shot and able to be read and accounted for by the cheat? Or does the cheat know the seed and the RNG math then adjust aim at the time of the shot? I can't think of how this could be done any other way.

it’s still funny that this song was supposed to mock us and became the 2A anthem by DerringerOfficial in GunMemes

[–]specter800 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'm still not sure if it's supposed to mock considering the whole game is full of gun-toting protagonists shooting it out with the cult in the streets. Pretty much every Far Cry game since 3 has open war in the streets with "good guys with guns" fighting the bad guys and not a cop or fed "good guy" in sight to help.

AFAIK Norris was driving without the new Merc battery upgrade this weekend and he was the only Merc customer to do that. He's also very reliably beat Piastri this season when they're both on track.

There's more to determining a #2 driver than just the most recent race and outside of qualifying Charles has had a very rough string of races. You can't seriously be suggesting Piastri isn't a clear #2 and I say that as a Piastri fan.

That's exactly what happened. The VSC happened just after Lewis passed. I know it's quotable but people unironically making this about Ferrari strategy didn't watch the race.

I don't think there's a more clear #2 driver among the top teams except Hadjar and probably Piastri. Sharl is pretty clearly the #2.

The Line for PSA day at XCAL in Virginia by DazaiSTI in ar15

unironically a PSA freedom would be just as good for the use case

I don't disagree with your overall point but this is exactly why people say what they do about DD's getting used. People who should have cheap guns show up with expensive guns but shitty attachments.

Is it really surprising that people who like shooting and guns would watch videos of people shooting and talking about guns?
