    the thing that gets me with counterstrike is the skins

    it blows my mind that people spend that kind of money for a texture file basically

    side effect of the game being so popular I suppose

    also I was the one calling counterstrike players nerds, and I do not recall any conversation about valve resolution

    So btw, I know this is the OT thread, but can I take a moment and appreciate/rant about Damon from Scenario Dreams?

    I bought a UTB in like... 08? Wanted a open bolt one, he accidentally sent me a closed bolt one. Emailed him, he sent me an open bolt one. That one was either FUBAR upon arrival, or I broke it. Either way, I emailed him about it (don't remember the emails...) and he sent me another open bolt board. (I ended up buying a second harness for the closed bolt one a while back)

    So just recently I put all the parts that I had together for my single finger E-Karni. Apparently I had accidentally applied full B+ to the collector of the BJT controlling one solenoid, and it seems like I ruined it. So I found the schematic, where he listed the BJT used. Looked it up, and emailed him about replacing the BJT. (TBH, the BJT should be able to take it, VceMax = 40V for that BJT...) Anyways, asked what the likelihood was of me replacing it, without ruining the rest of the board. Instead of answering my question, he just asked me for my address and what version I had to send me a replacement.

    Thank you very, very much Damon. I would've been stuck with a pump, or double finger trigger electro. (Horror right?)
