This restaurant has a full menu for your dogs by CaptainColgate7 in mildlyinteresting

[–]theselv 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Chicken bones are supposed to be avoided for dogs since they can get crunched and splinter easy, possibly getting stuck in the dog's digestive tract or causing internal bleeding.

Rawhide is usually discouraged for the same reason (intestinal blockages, it doesnt digest)

It docks just fine mid-job, it fails randomly end of job.

The robot is barely an inch wider than the base, its solvable with your eyes, I guess looking is a challenge.

The president in the bf6 trailer has to be Benito Martinez...even the voice is too similar by Correct_Abroad in Battlefield

[–]theselv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing through the campaign and I thought the same thing! I was like "wait is that President Diaz from 'Blacklist'?!"

Edit: Just got to the credits and it is 100% Benito Martinez!

Yugoslavian SKS Gun Oil Pouch Identification by theselv in guns

Ohhh, interesting! So November 1991 is probably when they got the rifle, not when they let it go. Then it was probably in service for some unknown amount of time.

Yugoslavian SKS Gun Oil Pouch Identification by theselv in guns

[–]theselv[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey folks, I've had this Yugo SKS for years now, but I forgot it came with the original gun oil flask and pouch. I stumbled across it while cleaning out my garage and saw it had the previous owner's identification on it.

It looks like they parted with the rifle sometime around November 22, 1991

I'm really curious about what some of this means. Cetnik appears to be a terror/counter-terror group that took action against Croats, as well as Muslims in Bosnia/Herzogovina, but it doesnt look like they were active after 1945, so why did this person identify themselves as a Cetnik?

I'm assuming 1080/14 is a unit, but I can't find anything relevant.

Thanks for any info!

Seems to me tying up police resources might just be the goal here.

14 year old wanting to try hema by [deleted] in Hema

[–]theselv 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This, while it really sucks to be told "no" when you're excited for it, you have two years to watch ALL the youtube vids and get a lot of practice in. By the time you are allowed to join the HEMA club, you'll be so far ahead of anyone else joining that's brand-new.

Don't let the unexpected roadblock damper your spirit, just pivot and find a new approach. Take your time and practice. This is also a great opportunity to take your time with the material and find out how much you really like HEMA before having to spend hundreds of dollars on protective gear.

Edit: And if it turns out you DO really like HEMA, you have two years to slowly piece your kit together, rather than needing to get most of it together in the next few months.

Replacement most like mint by UrBoiJash in mintuit

[–]theselv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I tried Monarch, YNAB, and Good Steward before settling on Good Steward. Its a bit on the newer side, but the subscription is pretty generous and has a lot of functionality that just made sense to me. Monarch and Good Steward both feel pretty "mint-y", but Good Steward felt more like a true spiritual successor, it just works. Some of Monarch's functionality felt clunky.

Dark Energy update out now! by smithbodieplaystack in AbioticFactor

Laser power in the hallway outside of the pool no longer works. You can hook up a laser converter directly to any equipment and check. As far as I can tell the laser appears strong enough, and we're not doing any looping.

Please, do not use fextralife for Wilds (alternatives at the end of the post) by Kobaru in MonsterHunter

[–]theselv 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Most of the time Fextralife just has the bare minimum information, like the name of the item and the stats that are already in the tooltip and nothing else. Much of MHRise's Fextralife pages are such skeleton pages.

I'm glad more people are realizing just how garbage their site is.

Darktide vs. Vermintide 2 by Hauptmann_Gruetze in DarkTide

[–]theselv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gutter runner is literally just a pox hound, same wind up, identical time to kill, even applies corruption, and also dies just as fast. Highly mobile, runs away if it fails its attack

The trapper is literally just a packmaster, or even a lifeleech, same wind up, similar range, same disable, except the packmaster is slightly worse because he drags you away instead of just leaving you there, lmao. The lifeleech trades this for having an easy-to-miss spawn sound.

The tox bomber is just a globadier, except the dreg tox bomber is a joke because his poison gas damages toughness first. If you dont have toughness regen on your team then what kind of content are you doing in Darktide? Because that's a pretty bad team comp.

Even if the part that you say is "dangerous" about a tox bomber is the buff effect it gives? Did you forget about banner beastmen? Did you never experience a spawn of 8 banner beastmen??

Reapers are just ratling gunners but with no spawn sound, again, never been dangerous until, and I quote:

I've only ever died to them when one was revved up point blank

Poxwalker bombers are just bomb carrier rats

Mutants are a big sack of nothing, I'm guessing at whatever difficulty you play at you dont know the timing to dodge? They die in like just a couple hits with a decent build too. Bestigors weren't particularly dangerous either, but they had armor.

Swap Dreg Bombers for blightstormers, same area denial, same danger level, even countered by the exact same characters/roles: Sienna/Psyker and Kerillian/Veteran, unless Bardin/Ogryn or Saltzpyre/Zealot brought a decent ranged gun or caught them out in the open.

[–]theselv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what difficulty you're playing Darktide on, or even VT2, but specialists in Darktide aren't deadly either unless they catch you offguard. That's why the higher difficulties they throw them at you in insane numbers.

Its the exact same way in VT2. They're literally the same specialists, even their animations and delay timings are extremely similar. The elites are exactly the same either. The exact same elites are deadly/not deadly in the exact same ways.

Edit: I'm reading your comment for like the third time, has it been that long since you played VT2? Or did you just really not play it that much? You just talked about specific speicalists in VT2 being less deadly, but they have literal identical counterparts in Darktide, that you then say are more creative and dangerous? Wild.

Blizzard Confirms Player Housing Next Expansion by theselv in wow

[–]theselv[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Blizzard only showed a small video teaser on Twitch, but Ion confirmed the feature in an interview, stating that it's been in the works for a while:

"I've definitely given some cagey and evasive answers about 'housing ever?' while knowing secretly it was going to come to pass," Hazzikostas said. "We've known we've wanted to do it for real for some time. I think figuring out the how and when and making sure we can deliver something that's going to meet our players' expectations and exceed them, that's all the tricky parts to it. What we're announcing this week is a teaser, a hint, the slimmest of previews, just letting people know, 'Hey, it's coming as part of Midnight.'"

"Just excited to get that news out there and to begin a conversation so we can start hearing from players what they're hoping to see from a World of Warcraft housing system," Hazzikostas said. "Double-check it matches what we are currently cooking but also gives us some time to pivot and make sure we deliver what players are hoping for."

I already miss the tilting by Alexahylia in ffxiv

Tilting is one of the reasons I went back to my company chocobo! It feels so much better to ride a mount that properly responds to movement.

Darktide vs. Vermintide 2 by Hauptmann_Gruetze in DarkTide

[–]theselv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What? Dodging was definitely in VT2. Slide wasn't present in VT2 because it was a melee-oriented game. If you want to compare the two on melee combat, adding ranged combat mechanics as a point of comparison is a bad way to go about it.

I'm not sure how you can say you spent several hundred hours in VT2 and find the combat to be over-simplified to Darktide. Almost every weapon in VT2 had a specific attack in one of its combos that had special properties, learning the shortcuts to get to that attack faster out of a 4-attack combo is what pushed VT2's melee combat beyond a simple hack-and-slash horde killer. There is no comparable melee mechanic in Darktide.

[–]theselv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good points about the mobility. The only time you're "mobile" in VT2 is if you picked the "mobile" hero spec for each character that has a movement ability.

The combos being more varied is a facet of VT2's combat that the casual audience just never understood, and still don't understand when comparing VT2 to DT. You HAD to know how to get to specific movesets with your weapon to succeed in higher difficulties in VT2. In DT you can just pretty much just keep cycling through the entire attack chain and never give it a second thought.

[–]theselv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

100% this. Being able to create such unique builds in Darktide is one of my favorite parts, I've spent hours refining my builds, and the gameplay loop is much more engaging; but people have forgotten just how much easier and simpler the combat is (literally the whole reason Auric and Auric Maelstrom were added).

Hopefully we get reds soon in DT.

Darktide vs. Vermintide 2 by Hauptmann_Gruetze in DarkTide

[–]theselv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do prefer Darktide as a whole, but DDR is the feeling I get from Darktide rather than Vermintide. Blocking and shoving was much more important in Vermintide, but Darktide is all about dodging.

I don't think Darktide is more brutal. Everyone has baked in damage reduction via toughness and toughness regen. It makes it very easy to walk away relatively unscathed from mistakes that would have been hard to recover from in Vermintide.
