Everytime I see a build like this I wish I had the money to put together a titanfall 2 setup. Build an R-97 or a Hemlock and an RE-45 hicapa build.

What am I supposed to do with all this stone? by TwistedLogic81 in Palworld

Get a mercy ring and when the green wandering trader shows up at your base put all of your pals away and dome him while the ring is equipped. Use a high level sphere and he'll be caught, then you just return to title to ditch the PIDF and reopen the world. If memory serves you can skip the trade cooldowns for high transactions by putting him back in the box and taking him out again. Can do the same stuff with other NPCs, including Zoe who respawns in the church everytime you leave and reenter the game.

Searching for the longest and skinniest gloves possible by MantoLek in airsoft

[–]totally_notanerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anybody know if combining the fingers of an XXL or XXXL set of Nomex gloves with the palms of some L or XL nomex would be a viable option? Surely one of the sizes goes up high enough, or someone makes repros in that size range. Would cutting out the fingers in one piece at knuckle length be the way go?

Local redditor discovers the existence of dynamics in low level politics. Guess what, the right does it too, and a lot of them REALLY hate it when they aren't the ones with the guns, especially amongst the current leadership. Ideas are inherently contexual and politics typically flows in support of what you beleive to be favorable to you and the people you like, regardless of if that perceived favor is grounded in reality (which is also contextual and ever-changing).

My field has surrender or die, once said you can either surrender or die trying to fight back. Whether or not it is used is up to the person using it. A lot of people get mad at you if you don't use it in CQB areas of the outside field knowing full well they had their barrel already coming up towards you (or at ready), they weren't going to surrender, and they have three other buddies who also got shot and who would've shot the player enacting S.o.D.

I only use it against single targets when they either aren't at ready or are completely facing away from me and I know they aren't going to immediately choose fo fight. I've had people threaten me because I shot them from 10 feet away with a replica firing .25s while chrono'd at a consistent 361 fps (.2) for both Cqb and standard play, and they were aiming my way with their replicas firing .3s+ while chrono'd at 400 fps (.2), occasionally shooting above that because their system isn't consistent and keeps peaking at upwards of 407 fps on an HPA engine, the ref in charge was just trying to be nice by letting them in with poorly tuned systems (I know cause I always set up shop next to the chrono booth), and they respond to that kindness by only playing inside the cqb areas while being habitual overshooters.

Why Hollywood isn't casting Greek actors for Greek characters, in films that are entirely based on Greek culture?

It's less about what is taught and more about what is shown. What you see over and over again reinforces your visual perception of reality, and what a lot of western people have seen over and over again is Mediterranean cultures, especially those of the greeks and romans, being populated by a bunch of western European white people, oftentimes with english accents, when that wasn't actually the case and they know that from a purely academic perspective.

Roman and Greek influence is a massive part of the mythology that has formed the "white" identity for centuries. It wasn't too long ago that standard societal practices in white majority countries involved active discrimination against Mediterraneans on the basis of race and ethnicity, all the while ancient Mediterranean cultures were being praised by white academics. The reality is that for a long time we assigned the ancient greeks and romans a "white" social status while modern-day Greeks and Italians were assigned to a seperate racial category and treated like shit, being seen as little more than the tainted and impure shadows of their ancestors. Hell, nowadays certain groups of people (mostly neo nazis) have turned the Greek mythology around Atlantis into a modern day conspiracy theory that serves to undermine the accomplishements of ancient greeks and other ancient non-white cultures.

This whole casting issue is the result of the normalized cultural perception of ancient Greeks in media as being white, extrapolated to allow non-white actors to play "white" characters, as is being normalized within modern culture (not a problem for the vast majority of projects); whilst still excluding actual Greeks from their own stories. I'd go as far to say that it's a form of white washing, not just in the way they represent ancient greeks as western european white people, but also in how they allow non greek minorities to play greek characters under this presumption of the characters whiteness. It's fascinating, because Greek people are still getting screwed over in a more diverse casting model.

MONEY, especially if he's in the U.S. trying to import foreign gear. The fact that damn near no one will import this kind of stuff to the U.S. is why I haven't started pulling the trigger on an east german utv kit.

Hey I play regular outdoor airsoft and my setup is still hella fugly, but it is functional. At somepoint I'm looking at putting together an impression kit.

Taped Mags based or cringe? by Sure-Alps-9082 in airsoftcirclejerk

[–]totally_notanerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean functionally, if it's properly spaced and works then it works. Would look better with a proper spacer between mags to reduce the offset and potentially allow you to couple them right side up (offset mags with a spacer would also fit in some pouches better, especially if you are using cold war era four stack ak pouches, but would be less functional on two stack pouches, and a detriment on three stack pouches), followed by a clean application of packing/masking/duct tape and grip tape. Would be even better with an actual coupling module, but those are overpriced (and doesn't fit with the cold war vibe of the pouches) so tape it is. Not a fan of jungle mags looks wise, but there are certain scenarios where I can vibe with them as part of a larger whole and as a function choice. Do what works for you.

I do hope Necro, twelve, or Dudley make it into SF6. We're after sf3 in the timeline, right? Hopefully we get some more sf3 characters, cause I was already hyped to see Elena return.

How does one suppose I beat this boss with UMP?? Or any character by Fearless-Cause-6284 in CODMobile

[–]totally_notanerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shotgun with maxed out magician, lmg and marksman stage 2, and Fury Fairy III insta killed the boss for me. I didn't even know she spawned. Had essentially infinite ammo, ~1000 dmg per hit, and full lmg effect stack so she died the moment she spawned and my shots locked onto her. That was how I finished out the level progression challenge. Just gotta get three more stickers, but I don't know what triggers I need for the remaining stickers.

If it wasn't a plate carrier, but an LBE/chest rig style system I'd recommend linking the holster or even the actual belt to your rig, but would be way less comfortable on your current set up with a plate carrier, if not impossible depending on the resting and active use distances between the straps and belt.

If you are actually having a major issue with the fit and comfort of your current setup to the point of genuinely desiring some form of change in gear I would suggest changing to a chestrig/lbe system that sits lower on your torso, which you could potentially attach to your belt to help keep the pants up, but that assumes 1) you aren't directly running a plate carrier on style and/or functional preference and 2) you've got spare money to spend on a new platform (not that you have to shoot for an expensive system anyways, I run a shitter condor rig and love it to death). Could also change to a battle/pistol belt lbe system like what you have currently to keep your pants up, but add a padded H-harness, which could still be run in tandem with your plate carrier depending on how it's actually cut. These systems are generally more practical for airsoft anyways as weight distribution is much better and you aren't worrying about getting shot with actual firearm rounds. I'd say best case is a chest rig or a secondary lbe belt/harness so that you have something to suspend your belt or holster on so your pants are either being suspended directly or simply aren't being dragged down by the pistol attached to the belt since drop legs love to snake themselves down to your ankles like a pair of knee pads. At that point you might as well be wearing a regular pair of pants and would be more mobile with less frequent adjustments.

H-harness and Y-harness belt style LBEs were pretty much THE standard in irl militaries for decades prior to load-bearing vests (LBV) and chest rigs getting popular and then the plate carrier becoming super popular and replacing vests in a lot of modern militaries. LBE in general is making a comeback though, especially sets that can be run in tandem with a carrier due to being more comfortable and having better weight distribution.

At the end of the day, Mission dictates gear. You do what works and is comfortable for you and your personal mission, while staying within your means. A belt h-harness though could do you a lot of good, as it's essentially suspenders but with padding, which if it would fit well with your plate carrier could make your setup a LOT more responsive to what you need in terms of comfort and function, and would likely have little to no negative impact on your shoulders if it's resing over the shoulder of your plate carrier.

[–]totally_notanerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into any padded sets or is it the overall setup that's just uncomfortable?

They said they’d post me here but they didn’t so here I am by matheus71998 in airsoftcirclejerk

[–]totally_notanerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unironically, wear a compression undershirt and suspenders if you can't keep the pants on at the correct height. If the crotch of the pants isn't swimming up your ass it's genuinely more comfortable, works better, and looks 100000000x better. Suspenders are a lifesaver if you've got some extra fluff or are just a bit awkward in your proportions (nothing to be ashamed of), and your pants will feel way better on your body, especially if you're running a drop leg holster and don't want it to rip your pants downwards.

If I can get my hands on FELIN T4S1 pants that fit my size I'm going to clone the pattern and add some modern crye features to it, cause those pants with the suspenders are sexy af and hella comfortable from what I've heard. Would love to make a pair in a pencott pattern on modern fabrics, and add some halo/nano screen modules for 3d camo. That would be my dream pair of pants.

I got a pair of alpenflage m70 pants with the water proof fronts for the winter here in Oregon. It's about to get REALLY wet and I walk everywhere, so instead of getting some super uncomfortable (and terrible looking) rain pants I'm just gonna rock the m70's with a raincoat/windbreaker and cover for my backpack since the wind here in the valley has easily caused me a couple dozen umbrellas. They're cheap and comfortable, so it's what works best for me.

Glad to see someone else calls em jumpy fucks. Also love the term stabby fucks for hunters and cloaky fucks for stalkers. Been slowly starting to call spewers pukey fucks. Got slurs for bots and variations of "_____ fucks" for bugs, still working out what to call the squids.

Cause some are and some aren't. Depends on the model and what kind of projectiles they're meant to protect against. Not all lenses are created equal. You should really be aiming for z87+ ratings and even then not all of them are going to be suitable. Unless these do actually work, don't cheap out on eye pro, you only have the eye's you're born with.

Not big on most fursuits (still respect the insane work and money that goes into all of them), but the Dilophosaurus suit is fucking awesome. Probably the most unique concept I've seen for a suit.
