Sync has some issues displaying images embedded into post bodies. I still have Jerboa installed for if I need to view or make posts with them.

Same, and with Game Pass it was just a $30 upgrade. The only stuff I pre-order is stuff I know I'll like anyway - mainly Destiny expansions and TES/Fallout/Starfield. I'm gonna buy it anyway, why not pre-load it and play immediately?

If/when I finally build a PC, Intel Arc is going to be a serious contender for me. They're looking really good as they continue to support them.

Why would you even buy this? Literally just buy a phone mount and use your phone. This thing was a textbook example of a useless product.

It's worse. At least with the API down you can go to the vault, swap characters, etc. But loadouts are just gone now. You can use DIM loadouts, but I don't have my normal ones saved on there too, and I can't remember everything I use exactly. Hoping this gets fixed soon!

God that brings back memories. I mainly used it for Halo CE back on Windows XP still in like 09-10. Joined a clan through Xfire that I played with a bunch. Used it a little for Minecraft too! Those days on CE were the best.

He's such a cool dude, so much energy!

Definitely why, it just dampens the momentum slightly. It totally makes sense, I just wish there was a different way they could do it without making you hold a button in between every kill. It's the physical action of that between every melee activation that gets really repetitive.

Me but opposite because I fucking love onions so much

They've already confirmed there's a Dungeon Key, and Wrath is the assumed reprisal next year.

I personally am very excited for this. It seems like they held back a lot of TFS info, which is good in my opinion. We know the basic premise, location, etc., and now I'm pumped to play it. I also appreciate how even though this reveal was disclosed by Joe as being for the widest audience possible, they still include the fact that the final showdown with the Witness is in the raid and not the main campaign. I think they're really pushing raids to a larger audience with that and the LFG system coming in season 23.

Also, all the new weapons are very exciting. Unique subfamilies, support/healing legendaries, Dragon's Breath!. The other returning D1 exotics are super exciting as well. The legendaries are very exciting though; I'm curious how good they'll be and how much they'll shake things up. Hopefully the healing stuff will coincide with a UI overhaul that Joe hinted at? Maybe seeing ally health bars to incentivize team healing? Please?

Really digging this pre-show showing the entire story of the game essentially. Good for getting veterans excited and showing new people what's going on! Hopefully all this will get added to the game.

Doesn't really show anything new, but it sure looks cool

 

Excuse the meh photos, but my pup Tippy should make up for them. Did my first ever mods and went all-in with a complete replacement of everything on a SSS Bullet Strat. Here's what I did:

-SSL-1 Vintage Staggered in the neck -SSL-1 Vintage Staggered RWRP in the middle -SH-6b Distortion in the bridge -CTS 500k push-pull tone pot to coil split the Distortion -CTS 250k pots for the other tone and volume -Fender five-way switch (to replace the Squier import switch) -Copper shielding on the pickguard and control cavity -Abalone pearl pickguard -Treble bleed circuit on the volume pot

Next round of upgrades will be tuners, attention to the frets, etc, though this guitar already plays just as well or maybe even better (IMO) than my Player Telecaster. The Distortion is perfect for my typical black metal, and coil splitting gives it tons of versatility for the other genres I like such as shoegaze, emo, and more.

 

Lots of great stuff here. Tons of tuning, exotic adjustments, and more. They've included a video preview of the Monte Carlo catalyst, the most complex they've done, and yes, it's exactly what you think! And Touch of Malice, my beloved, is getting a nice buff. Anyway, too much for me to add here, so dive in and point out your highlights in the comments.

 

I have a Lake Placid Blue Bullet Strat SSS HT arriving today that I bought (brand new) as my first guitar to modify. I'm also waiting on a new pickguard and a Seymour Duncan SH-6 to arrive as my first change. After that, I'm going to look into single coils to put in the neck and middle positions. I mainly play black metal (hence the SH-6), but also shoegaze, emo, goth, and general rock and stuff.

So, any suggestions for things to do? Could be for the guitar in general, or those specific genres. Any suggestions are welcome!
