You will not get banned for doing it as Bungie doesn't issue bans for in-game exploits. You will be banned for any sort of hacking, external cheats, network tampering, etc.

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.

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.

Mine next? I paid you to do it two weeks ago man, you can't go scamming people like this.

I'm getting so sick of the anti-car crowd commenting this stuff on anything related to cars. Like yes, we know, public transportation is good and a great goal. But they're just so out of touch with reality most of the time.

I mean, by that logic, 99.9% of all food is unnecessary. Why season your food when you can just have plain chicken, plain salad, etc? It's just the nutritional content that matters, right?

There's this thing in life called enjoyment. People like to enjoy things.

Literally what are you even on about

Getting real worked up over nothing

 

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.

 

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!
