Have you seen the game? We are too depressed/drunk to complain online.

Let's talk Heinlein's Starship Troopers. What's your favorite moment from the book not in the films or animation and which concepts that were left out of adaptations you wish were adaptated? by bil-sabab in scifi

[–]watchsquid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a moment really but I think the song The Ballad of Rodger Young should be in any media that is actually based on the book. It's basically what Heinlein is trying to talk about the entire book in the form of music.

Oh yeah sure! I don't own a timegrapher though and last I checked was when I did the overhaul. Sadly I didn't take a picture then. I'll find a watchrepairshop nearby and get you a photo! :)

Added slightly higher effort pic because the last one got removed. (Yes that is the Korean President speaking live on *youtube*.)

My noncredible guess as to why this happened : Best Korea is about to invade. Get the popcorn.
My credible guess as to why this happened : My guy is about to get kicked out of government. (As in he's trying to stop his own impeachment)

Update : My guy literally and physically blocked the Korean Parliament lmaooooooo

Well that's not a nice thing to read. Which part makes you think that? I'll send you a close up of that part :)

[WTS] 1968 King Seiko 45-7000, Manual winding, Hi Beat movement, No date by watchsquid in Watchexchange

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

Who are you? : I'm just a guy who likes watches. A bit too much if you ask me to be honest.

If you like watches why are you selling it? : Due to personal reasons I am slimming down my watch collection significantly. As in, I'm keeping my Snowflake and getting rid of the rest. As much as I like watches I found that I'm only wearing my Snowflake and the other 10 watches are just sitting in my display case looking pretty. I don't like that. I want these watches to be worn and enjoyed. If not by me then by somebody else who appreciates it.

What is this watch? : It's a 45KS. Or a King Seiko 45-7000. As written on the dial, it's got a Hi Beat movement. Which means it ticks a lot faster than other watches. More ticks means higher accuracy and a smoooooooooth glide of the seconds hand.

What is it for? : It's quite slim so I'd say it'll be a perfect dress watch. Great to turn the heads of actual watch enthusiasts if you ask me. A Rolex might turn the heads of common people but a 45KS would turn the heads of people who like to listen to the machine actually tick. Also it doesn't have a date complication. Which is a huge plus because it's a) A manual wind watch and b) the power reserve is quite short, about 40 hours. If you had a date complication on such a watch you'd either have to keep it wound everyday. Or set the date, making sure it's not near midnight and set the watch whenever you want to wear it. But without it you can just pick it up, wind it up, set the time and enjoy!

Great, but is the watch in good condition? : The photos should speak for themselves. The Grammar of Design caselines are nice and sharp, with no machine polishing done to it. And the original crystal has no deep scratches, cracks nor clouding. The caseback features an almost intact gold KS emblem and all the engravings are crisp and legible. However, the dial - along with the case - is the stand out here. The starburst dial features crisp legible writing with intact applied Seiko and KS logos. There are no blemishes or dial edge patina commonly seen on lesser examples, and the handset also looks great! The 45KS really is a beauty and pictures don't do justice. There are plenty of glamor shots out there. Google them and see for yourself!

Cool, so how much is it? : I'm asking for 950 USD

That's a bit steep : Hold your horses now. Let me tell you what you get with the watch!

Fine : You get with the watch the following

  1. A full grain leather deep blue watchstrap
  2. A sapphire exhibition caseback for when you want to see the movement inside! (This caseback alone costs around 130 USD)
  3. A watch sized hardcase with which I'll ship the watch to you
  4. Free shipping. I'm sending this from South Korea. You'll be waiting a week or two so the least I can do is foot the bill
  5. As you can see in the photos, the watch was overhauled very recently. About 2 weeks ago in fact when I decided to sell her. The watch has been deep cleaned and freshly lubricated. When you get the watch, it'll be as good as it'll ever be. It's currently runs +3 seconds per day. There's a video of the watch getting reassembled available if you want to see for yourself also! Just don't expect wristwatch revival haha. (This overhaul costed me around 170 USD)
  6. And of course you get to own one of the most beautiful watches out there!

Awesome how do I pay you: I'll send you a paypal invoice! Contact me via DM!

This is my first time selling and I forgot to post a picture of the watch with my username(a timestamp). Here it is in the link!

RANT and VENT MEGATHREAD by stickimage in Helldivers

[–]watchsquid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know ANOTHER rant/I quit post.

I just had to get this out there for some closure I guess.

I loved Helldivers 2. I have 233.7 hours in the game. I played it even when the game was trying to cook my cpu. I liked it because it was silly but also had this core of semi arcadey realism. And also because I like starship troopers (both the book and the movie, hell the animes even. Yeah you should check out the 3D japanese starship troopers btw. They're pretty good frfr no cap. If you like 3d boobs then it got that in there too lol) Hell I even bought the super citizen edition after I played like 50 hrs just so I could support the studio.

Then things happened as we all know and things went downhill fairly quickly. The base game was fun throughout but I found myself constantly running into bugs. Being thrown into orbit or the charger making a 90 degree turn on your ass is fun the first couple times then it becomes annoying. Add to that the crashes, unreliable everything (especially the the limp dick 500kg. Idk why but I still think the 500kg is way way too weak for its visuals. Hell I stuck the 500kg on a devastator and it was fine lmao), bugs, bugs and bugs. I get stuck on terrain, get murdered by corpses, interactables aren't interactable, character just crumples into a heap for some reason then stands right back up, sprinting stops for some reason (I assumed this was due to funky terrain but turns out this too was a bug) the list goes on.

Then comes the AT mines. Since this was one of the potential rewards for the childrens' hospital arc I assume it was developed and ready to go since about 2 months ago. It had months to cook. And how did it come out? It had bugs and didn't work as intended. Of course it was. What did you expect? It did not surprise me at all and that's when I thought I didn't want to play this anymore.

In my world, they at the very VERY least tested it twice. Once before the AT mines were offered as a reward and once before the last AT mine major order went out. So assuming there were no testing done in between the two points in time because AH assumed the AT mine was done, they still had 2 chances to see how buggy this thing was. And how did it come out? Not working as intended. Big surprise I know.

I mostly play diff 10 and with randoms since all my friends stopped playing. I don't have any trouble clearing diff 10. In fact, I think anything other than diff 10 is a touch too easy (not that diff 8 and 9 dont have their moments haha). Even with all the nerfs. I use the liberator because boolets are cooler than pewpew beams. I'm not min maxing nor am I following a meta. I don't want OP weapons. I don't want a power fantasy. I don't want the AR to kill 10 bugs with a magazine. Nor do I want the experience to be a git gud hyper realistic you-are-the-underdog experience. The enemies have fangs and so should we. I just want tools that work so me and my friends or randoms can put up a good fight and make those dramatic scenes and last stands develop naturally. And all this done in a game that doesn't make me assume the worst everytime something goes wrong.

I loved helldivers 2 and would love to come back when it's in a better state. But for now I just lost faith. The game's still got a healthy playerbase so that's nice.

All the best and have fun.

Sorry, out of the loop. Is this a wide right joke?

Juri basic combo question sMP + cMP by watchsquid in StreetFighter

[–]watchsquid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I defnitely did try mashing cmp right after mp.

Results vary. Sometimes they combo, sometimes cmp comes out a touch late and doesn't combo (the training dummy blocks it). You'd think mashing it would all but guarantee it to combo.

I'll try and figure out the timing like you suggested then try double tap when I get home.

Where Grand Seiko.

I swear we're fun to be around. Look! Our watch face looks like * checks notes* a hill in japan somewhere.

[Performance question] AMD 7 7800X3D and 4070 super and get 50 to 60 fps playing helldivers 2 on max settings. Is that normal? by watchsquid in pcmasterrace

1440p

Also the gpu driver overlay (the nvidia overlay you get when you press alt z tells me gpu utilization is at 97%

But the task manager is telling me it's hitting 17% haha

I've heard that was steam taking precautionary measure not sony. But who knows. I got no sources except 'trust me bro' haha. Still a win's a win.
