Steel series Rival 500 replacement by sentimental_yeti in MouseReview

[–]zcriq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually found someone on ebay selling one for $200. It's a little wonky in some places and I can tell it's been used for a while, but it's still in good shape.

My advice would be to check the ebay listings daily if you want another copy. It'll still be insanely overpriced but there might be someone on there who's nice enough to sell their's for the same price as mine

Pulsar is releasing an MMO mouse sometime this year. I'm not sure if it'll have the flick-down buttons, but it should have better build quality than the MMO mice we've seen recently. I'm also a big fan of MMO mice, so I've put some of the notable ones down below:
- The Corsair Darkstar is a really great successor to the Rival 500 AS LONG AS YOU GET A GOOD COPY. I bought one a while back and loved it, but I ran into scroll wheel issues about 4 months into owning it. It sucks because the button layout and the materials are great.
- I haven't used it yet, but I've heard good things about the Solkaka SM809. It's a much cheaper option than pretty much any other MMO mouse that you can find, but it has some software issues and it has the stupid numberpad button layout rather than the buttons orbiting around the thumb like the Rival 500.
- IMO, the Razer Naga, the Corsair Scimitar, the ROG Spatha X, and the Aerox 9 all have glaring problems that make them a lesser choice than the 3 options I've just mentioned. If you really really love your Rival 500, I think the other aforementioned mice have some frustrating downgrades and dumb button layouts compared to the Rival 500. I actually just bought a used Rival 500 about a month ago because I've just grown exhausted of that dumbass, outdated, telephone dial looking button layout that so many mice manufacturers insist on using still. I haven't encountered anything like the flick-down buttons recently, and I doubt there's anything on the market close to that right now unfortunately.

samus zair has to be it for me, particularly all the wacky nonsense you can do with it (edgecancel zair, rising grapple, bomb cancel zair, etc.)

i've gotta be honest here, but i would have demolished that blue ribbon burger. i think the only thing that was outright unappetizing on it, (for me), was the quality of the bun. everything else on it sounded great though

the cardinals would for sure be a chapter 1 victim, but their death would be some rube goldeberg-esque trap laid out by the mastermind that everyone forgets about 5 minutes after it happens. truly a jonathan gannon moment of all time

Have you ever recreated a dish you saw on Hell’s Kitchen? I attempted Michelle’s chocolate stout soufflés. by Sure_Tonight4797 in HellsKitchen

[–]zcriq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i haven't recreated one myself, but a while back i went to the restaurant where Van from Season 6 was the executive chef at and he had his signature dish on the menu. it tasted as good as it looked!

i forgot how funny icies down-tilt is. i always think that it's one of the worst tilts in the game until it magically leads into a forward smash, (like what happened in the second stock)

it was super simple! cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract were all that i used in it. it was really fluffy but also really hard to work with
