The guy insulted musk and got insulted back. He didn't really "question" the usefulness in a benign way. Generally speaking in life, if you're an asshole people are going to be assholes back. You can be a hero and an ass

Do you happen to know what kind of tech Mordhau uses? Its not perfect but the hit detection seems far better than any other melee combat game I've tried.

Weird shit happens with explosives. My friend I deployed with has a foot long piece of shrapnel that almost hit him and a couple other people. Could be a gas tank though.

A lot of people recommended goruck. They are great, but they don't gave much in the way of organizational compartments. They are built very well. They are expensive but on patriotic holidays they usually have good sales. If you are a v

The people that sell goruck claim that it doesn't look like a "tacticool" backpack but honestly they aren't fooling anyone. I have one too and I love it, but it screams tactical backpack and you can spot a goruck a mile

I was under the impression that simulation sickness was largely solved outside of extreme cases (like a vr portal game). I thought we're just waiting for hardware to catch up. Years ago John said if you have 20k and a dedicated room yo

I feel better about a comedian doing outrageous stuff to make a living than I do about journalists doing the same thing and people presenting other similarly outrageous stuff as legitimate scientific research.

I agree that its probably not going to impact the experience much if you haven't played the previous games, but your comparison to Doom makes no sense. The original Doom games intentionally had almost no story. The new Doom was a compl

They are aesthetically pleasing to me. I might even hang some prints on a wall, but it would be to add some color, not because I find them to be a superior display of artistic ability. To be fair a lot of simple looking art like this is pro

Its supposed to be more of a mental endurance challenge than a haunted house. A lot of people that try it are either people that run their own extreme haunted houses (which are generally nothing like this one) or people into extreme sports

I think there may be modern buckling spring key switches. Most modern mechanical switches have their own sound. MX Blues and knockoffs sound like MX Blues, the Box Jades I described have a really really nice clicky noise and IMO the best t

we were only talking about spending a hundred or so for aesthetic and perceptible quality reasons, not advocating $2000 cables for objective reasons of sound quality.

Artisan caps are a whole different thing. Basically the idea is that you get a fancy looking keycap that might be a little sculpture cast in a clear resin or even something 3d like a metal fist of thanos, and you replace 1 or 2 keys on your

It is the same signal, I'm not sure but potentially drivers, microcontrollers, and other things may impact latency though. Not that mechanical keyboard enthusiasts seem to be focused on that. However, the type of switch you use can hav

Its more comparable than you think. Those artisan cables with fancy bnc connectors and pretty colors are also available for keyboards. Some are like $40-50 but some are into the hundreds. They are sold for aesthetic reasons. I myself have s

Sure, I'll explain and link. It sounds like a lot but I am not a particularly handy person and I did it right the first try. I just had to use a brush to remove a little excess lubricant on one of the stabilizers because it was sticky.
