I actually respect airsoft gun owners way more than actual gun owners. It's about sport, not killing!

It's actually a ton of fun blasting away at spinning orange discs in the air with an 1800's double barrel shotgun Recently I picked up this planetarium projector:  It's honestly kinda garbage but I can't find much in the way of anything better out there

Weirdly there is a subset of airsoft gun owners that suffer from even bigger "little man" tendencies and become literally militant/super aggressive male bs about their sport of choice, maybe it has to do with the fact that they're playing combat with toys or something idk No idea how common it really is in the wild though just a weird vibe I picked up from some acquaintances, they always try to act hard and are fanatical about being out in the "field" with their b r o t h e r s

And that's not even getting into the people who mod their toy guns with real gun furniture and accessories and stuff to get THE LOOK of their favorite tactical operator's gun that has seen poo poo in all the middle eastern countries you can't name.

Guns are cool, but they need to be monitored and tracked and controlled by The State. Like, people do too, but still.

KingSlime posted:Weirdly there is a subset of airsoft gun owners that suffer from even bigger "little man" tendencies and become literally militant/super aggressive male bs about their sport of choice, maybe it has to do with the fact that they're playing combat with toys or something idk Pretty common. I've played airsoft at both public fields where it's just random games of random teams and at organized events. Public fields have all sorts of types, but they have a lot of dickheads. There are whole teams that just play by sprinting around indoor arenas, firing cranked-up guns as fast as possible or screaming safety kills from twice the range they're allowed to do it (and then complaining when people shoot them instead of taking the safety kill). One of them got into a fistfight with the owner at said field after his team got banned for cheating, though admittedly the owner is a complete lunatic. Out of all the organized events I've been to, I tend to stick with Mind Games Productions because they're mostly staffed by normal dudes and a lot of the players are actual veterans or active duty service members who have half a clue what they're doing. I went to one milsim event down south and practically everyone was a try-hard who even got upset at me cracking jokes during the fighting or heckling our opponents. The organizer was an ex-Marine who threatened to shoot people with a real gun if they shot him with their BB guns.

Can confirm that the Honda Fit is a stellar and zippy car. I've had one for a while and have zero complaints OTHER THAN the tires being expensive due to it being a sports model.

Coffee And Pie posted:That sounds miserable, doesn't anyone just run around doing Die Hard/Commando/John Woo poo poo and have fun with it? Oh yeah, you still see fun people. I usually play Mind Games Productions games, which are sort of "milsim lite" with a few rules for better realism and harder play (semi-auto only if you're not using a light machine gun, medic rules to bandage people back into the fight, and so on) and some kind of theme. Every January they do Amerika, which is set in a sort of Man in the High Castle scenario where resistance fighters are combating Nazi rule of America. It was extra fun this year getting to shoot people pretending to be Nazis, and one guy did an extended speech toward an actor dressed as an SS officer before shooting him. Every November there's the Wasteland game, which is a more roleplay-heavy one set in the Fallout universe. It's basically a Fallout LARP where you actually shoot each other, so you get stuff like guys in replica power armor charging into a base with an M249 and people trying to shoot the 12 inch plates on his torso that can actually kill him. Last year there was a gang of super mutants (wearing green body paint and masks) and one of them got ambushed and beaned in the head with a foam baseball bat wielded by a Tunnel Snake.

Hey guys, I remember seeing some boxer-brief chat in here awhile back. I'm looking to get some fancy underoos, preferably something that will keep my junk warm, never tried any that had a pouch for your junk either. Would appreciate any recommendations.

Bottom Liner posted:How do you brew and serve it? I just use my aeropress and play around with water temp and brewtimes. I'm too cheap to get more into the whole coffee thing right now and dropping hundreds on machine grinders and other stuff. And with serving you mean how I drink it? Just black otherwise I could just get a nespresso. Aramek posted:I'm not going to claim that I would be able to tell that apart from a different less fancy coffee in a blind taste test but I am going to claim that that is a beautiful beautiful bag of coffee. I bet you would notice a difference, but I wouldn't guarantee it that you would like it. The guy who I get the beans from only roasts them very lightly so they do not have the roast aroma that you mostly associate with coffee. It's a bit more sour and you can get some fruity tones in it. So in essence it's the loving IPAs of the coffee world.

Saxx, no questions. I reluctantly dropped $21 on a pair, just for ha-ha's, and now I'm a convert. Super comfortable, stays put, holds your junk like a skilled porn star. 10/10 would wear, again. EDIT: Can anyone recommend some mild, but flavorful hot sauces that are not Frank's or Sriracha? Frank's I find one-note and vinegary; I like Sriracha, but I'd like to expand my palate. Something smokey and sharp, but with a little heat. null_pointer has a new favorite as of 13:49 on Oct 20, 2017 |

I still find Ex Officious to be the best underwear. I bought a pair of one of the codpiece brands but I do not really see the appeal. Like, it's certainly a novel sensation, but I didn't find it any better.

So many choices! I ordered some Airism's, they were a good price so if I don't care for them I can always order something else. Digging some of the designs Saxx has, might get some next week when I get paid.

Stop wearing boring looking underwear ya fuckin suits. null_pointer posted:EDIT: Can anyone recommend some mild, but flavorful hot sauces that are not Frank's or Sriracha?

I was not at all impressed with Saxx and don’t particularly like Ex Officio or Uniqlo either (although I do like the undershirts) The ones I’ve liked the best are some Japanese brand called Jinshi they have them on amazon.

Megabound posted:Uniqlo Airism Good, and regularly on sale for $8. However, they're sized for twinks (or Europeans or something.) Be generously loose with whatever size you normally wear, then order a size larger than that. Kilometers Davis posted:Underwear chat: MeUndies! Too expensive and inconsistent quality null_pointer posted:Saxx, no questions. These are good, but someone said you can sometimes find them at discount retailers like TJMax or Ross. I haven't come across them at those stores yet, but that'd be a good way to go. I have seen Calvin Kleins at Marshall's for $7. They are good, but not as breathable as the others. Better for colder weather maybe? The Ferret King has a new favorite as of 14:55 on Oct 20, 2017 |

Crosspost from "Post your new instrument/gear" thread in Musician's Lounge: Yesterday, I picked up a TC Electronic Sub'n'Up octave pedal at Rudy's Music, NYC:  (stock photo) It's an octave pedal for guitar. It can add an ocatave up, and octave down, and two octaves down. It can do any combination of these octaves alone/simultaneously. So far, I've found it to be very flexible and intuitive, as well as you know...sounding good. It's affordable for what it is and dead simple to operate.

The Ferret King posted:Too expensive and inconsistent quality If you buy them in larger packs the pricing isn't terrible, but yes there are quality issues. Sometimes I get a pair (or a pair goes through a wash/long hike or ride) that just doesn't fit right and rides up. Overall quality::price still works for me though.

That’s a shame about the quality control. I love everything about them outside of the price. I wonder how good their customer service is about that kind of thing?

I feel like fancy men's underwear comes up often enough that we should just make a chart showing every posters' opinion on every brand and people can just reference that. To repeat myself, the AirSim boxer briefs ride up my rear end like a nagging sitcom wife, but the airsim undershirts are the best things ever and have ruined me for all other undershirts. bongwizzard has a new favorite as of 15:37 on Oct 20, 2017 |
