I don't want to digress, but I'm watching some content for MGSV after years of beating it and well, it looks like I never got to use half of what they announced in the trailers. This means weapons and vehicles, mainly.
It's something I've found myself doing quite often:
-
In the MGS series, mainly from 4 forward I never used 90% of the content as I tried to play silently and killing the least amount of people possible. Tanks, chopper support and D-Walker are also out of the picture.
-
In Dishonored I never unlocked the abilities to stop time, to summon a swarm of rats or desintegrate people, nor I bothered to upgrade my attack input, as I went to choke and shoot anesthetic darts. (Edit: ok, stop time is useful for no-kill runs, but you get my point)
-
In Deus Ex, never bothered with the Typhoon weapon.
-
In Hitman: Blood Money, I only upgraded the general upgrades apart of silencers and more ammo in case of emergency, as I went to take people out silently and perform "accidents" on my targets. Of course, never used the shotgun or rifle.
Eventually I do a second run only to enjoy all the killing, that's why, obviously enjoying it less, as they are not games meant to be confronted head-on.
Am I wrong to think that in most of these games playing stealthily means making 90% of the game useless?
Hey, all. I have a Ryobi cordless nailer that is convenient, but just does like 97% of the job. I have to go back with a nail sink and tap them in that last 1/16th of an inch. Is it because of the tool, or is it the low amp 18v battery, or is it that I have to not treat it like a pneumatic?
Noob here. Not a fan of the screaming but their slightly mellower stuff is amazing. Loved “Passenger”. What else should I check out? Thanks friends.
I want to learn manual woodworking (mostly because my shop is a shed with no electricity).
I have seen routing planes to go to a consistent depth, but I'm more interested in doing what you can do with a rotating router bit, but manually. Like a Roman Ogee, a cove or a round over. Is there such a tool?
I'm thinking of buying either Leatherman Ratchet Driver or Bit extender to increase the functionality of my LM Charge+ TTi, but worry about how the ratchet driver will hold up to abuse. I'm also looking at the bit extender but the ratcheting mechanism is really convenient. I work mainly with tightening loose screws around the house, driving screws on to wood, minor maintenance on my car, power tools, and bike. I wouldn't really put the ratcheting mechanism through the ringer, but I'd still like to have a proper working tool after a few years worth of use without the need to replace it. Also wonder if using either wears down the bit holder that holds it down. Lastly, should I just consider a clever t-handle ratchet that I EDC in conjunction with my Leatherman? Not advertising the product but just something that gives the ratchet driver and bit extender a run for their money and in my opinion worth seriously considering. Would love to hear your thoughts on it, recommendations, and your experience so far with any of the tools listed above. Thanks!
I'm putting together my home improvement/woodworking/electronics workshop, and have started collecting all kinds of various bits, hole saws, guide bushings, and whatever. How do you store all of these? In drawers with dividers? Individual drawers with labels? Out in the open?
Thanks in advance, wise workers.
I have just about a 1/2” strip that’s about 12” long that’s proud of a 2x4 and thought this might be the cleanest way to trim the rock?
Let's just say re-homing some extras! I'm not a seller or shop owner and don't have much (7 random tools) that I'd like to give away. I'm not asking for postage (regular USPS), so will need to limit to US only, sorry. These were included with some notions bought, are not super valuable or expensive, and I already have lots of hooks. Please PM me if you can actually use one or more of these:

This legitimately works better and is cheaper than itching creams I have tried. Instant relief and keeps it from swelling up to the size of a half quarter like it normally does for me. Seriously try it if this is an issue for you, it has saved me so much pain and annoyance. Also, there are other symptoms to know if you’re allergic to mosquito bites, but I didn’t know I was because I always assumed everyone’s bites swelled and itched as much and for as long as mine.. turns out I’m just unlucky and allergic ¯_(ツ)_/¯ So keep an eye out on yours as you may be unknowingly allergic as well!
Edit: Wow I did not expect my very first post to get this much traction! Thank you all for the interactions and for those of you who gave me my very first rewards <3 I developed a pretty bad headache from being on my phone too much this morning in my dark room, so I’ll be taking a screen break for now lol I’m sorry for those of you that I didn’t get to reply to! I’ll be trying to reply later to those that I can :)

Bought from blade forums awhile back. Sent it back to CRK and had it reblasted, sharpened, new washers installed, and a new clip. Comes with everything from factory and includes the original clip. Has some very minor snail trails on installed clip.
New edge is sharp but is uneven at the tip as seen in video/pictures. Also to note is a mark on the top of the spine which doesn’t photo well but it is there.

Bought 2 during the drop and I won’t be using this one so off it goes. Only opened for these pictures.

I have a project that I am trying to create 1/2" recessed circles in a 1" board. I have a drill press and a portable router along with drills. I am not sure what tool is best to use, or bits for this.
The holes will be 30mm in diameter, approximately 1.2inches.
I think I might need a pludge router for this, set the depth and buy the correct bit, but would like to know more from the community first.
What the title says. Just looking for an analog to the iFixit Pro kit but of actual high quality (bits that won't break/deform, etc.)
I just rediscovered SAK's and decided to treat myself to a nice one.
I thought I had settled on the SAK Cybertool M but now I'm wondering if I should have gotten the "Lite" version which has a built-in flashlight.
I was also disappointed to get it & see that the bit driver is not magnetic & bits are held in place by a detent ball system.
I have a small set of regular 4mm Torx bits and was really looking forward to using them with this new SAK.
Obviously I CAN use them, but I forsee it being a bigger pain in the rear since they won't stay secured in the SAK Bit Driver and will slip out with the smallest hint of gravity.
So my questions are;
- Is the CyberTool "Lite" with the built-in LED flashlight, worth it? Do you find the lite is that much more helpful?
- Do you use non-SAK bits with your CyberTool?
- If so; is it a hassle or am I over-thinking it?
- Does Victorinox make a wider selection of bits specifically for the Cybertool, with that little detent ball?
I searched a bit but couldn't find any....
Thank You!

I'd like to remove some recurring sound effects from some radio show recordings. Unfortunately while the sound effects are always identical, the sound / data would not match 100% as it's a radio recording and there could be background noise and people talking. The best option would be for the audio to get trimmed, but I'll take also it just being muted in those reoccurring sections
Hi! I'm making this post to give a few tips from my experience, but also to get tips from you guys as I want to become better at keeping focus and living a better life. So please contribute your tips and what has helped you as well.
I have a background in among other things, project management and behavioural economics, so most of what I do is based on my experiences from those fields. I really recommend the book "Thinking Fast and Slow" as well as the book "Check-list manifesto". The last one is about the healthcare-sector, but it also helped me in viewing my day to day.
A lot of this is what my professor would have called "Tying yourself to the mast". You want to concentrate actual decisions and challenge to when you are rational and have the energy to make them. You want the Long Term Rational You to make plans, and the Short Term Irrational You to be forced to follow them.
For distractions and addictions
- Freedom (Blocking software)
I recently started using a software called Freedom to manage access to web sites and programs on my computer. You can set up block lists at certain times for programs and web sites (IP-s). As someone who really struggles with keeping focus and being derailed it has helped me a lot, and I recommend it. I have it set up so I will get redirected between 22-16 if I try to play games or do distracting things on the internet.
It's not impossible to trick or shut off, but for me it as been really useful in not acting automatically and without thought. Instead of mindlessly going to a website or starting up a game, I'm forced to think if I want to do it in a conscious manner.
It's payware, but not very expensive and has a free trial. Also a very good refund policy, I tried it out earlier and they paid me back when I thought it wasn't good enough. I would love if somebody had free software that could replace this, feel free to recommend! A big gripe I have with it is that it hasn't got a keyword function, so you have to add URLs. They do however have well functioning block lists for social media, adult material and so on.
Tasks and structure
If you struggle with being overwhelmed and having a lot to do, then breaking down tasks and thinking about the tasks themselves, and not just the content of the tasks, is a first step to getting there. However, there is a huge risk of getting caught up in planning too much, instead of being productive, so be cognizant of that risk.
