It's part technobabble, part real, and as a gun nut, I can tell you exactly which parts.
"The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen".
This is valid. 1911s have a two-part feed ramp where part of the feed ramp is on the frame and the other part is on the mouth of the chamber. A lot of modern pistols have a one-part feed ramp that is integral to the barrel/chamber. The goal with polishing the feed ramp of a 1911 is to try and smooth out the transition from the frame to the barrel so the nose of a round doesn't hang up on it and cause a failure to feed, but even relatively rougher ones will usually still feed just fine.
"The slide's been reinforced".
You can't really reinforce a pistol slide by adding more material. They're machined to specific dimensions and that's it. How would you reinforce it? By welding on more metal? No one does that. What he likely means is that it's dimensionally thicker than a typical 1911 slide (i.e. less material was removed by the machining process). This is semi-babble.
"The interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision".
It is entirely possible to have tighter-than-normal frame rails that the slide rides on, but this has no effect on accuracy, it only avoids having a sloppy fit between the frame and the slide with excessive play, which should be avoided, anyway. Too tight, and you have increased friction in the mechanism, which can cause failures-to-extract. There's a sweet spot for this, in terms of the exact clearance between the dimensions of the cuts in the slide and the dimensions of the frame, and it's where the slide has no discernible wiggle but still rides back and forth on the frame buttery-smooth when oiled. This is probably what he means by "precision".
"The sight system is original".
It visibly has custom dot sights. Not babble.
"The thumb safety is extended".
It has a larger-than-normal thumb safety installed. There are lots of different thumb safety cuts for 1911s, depending on whether or not the shooter desires a wider or narrower paddle to depress.
"A long-type trigger with non-slip grooves".
It has a skeletonized trigger that is longer than the typical GI-style 1911 trigger, and the front of it is machined with serrations. There are lots and lots of different 1911 trigger styles out there. Curved, flat face, long, short, serrated, smooth, et cetera. The important thing is for the trigger to be fitted correctly to the frame, otherwise, it will have substantial slop and wiggle from side to side.
"A ring hammer".
Very common on custom 1911s: instead of a spur hammer, the material forms a loop with a hole in the middle.
"The base of the trigger guard's been filed down for a higher grip".
This is a very unusual modification. I've never heard of anyone doing this for any reason. Trigger guards on 1911s are already fairly thin as it is, so you'd only raise your grip by a millimeter, and it would put your trigger finger in an awkward spot, closer to the top of the trigger rather than the center. However, Snake uses unusual grip styles with his knife and pistol together where this may afford him slightly more room. This is basically babble.
"Expertly crafted and customized".
Self-explanatory.
The funny thing about this dialogue is that it's about 85% accurate. It's only slightly nonsense.

@theonetrueHRLN @kijuler Donald and Goofy are physically prevented from joining the fight, but they watch from just outside its arena.
English

@PyleAllen @kijuler is the party present or does sora fight it alone ?
English

honestly im glad we agree that this darkside is soras but can we talk about how fucking massive it is soras been repressing HARD to create a fucking monster like this

@hollyberrysbutt Love it when people use nuance to come to a well-reasoned conclusion.
Hate it when people use nuance as an excuse not to come to a conclusion or to berate someone else for coming to a conclusion.
Idk what the context of this is, that’s just what I think about nuance.
English

@theonetrueHRLN @kijuler We fight one in the End of the World in KH1, I’m not sure where else, though.
English

@kijuler i can’t fully recall myself rn but how many times have we fought a darkside in the real world, outside of sora’s mind ?
English

@orioleglow In a way they’re right, but makes it more impactful when they choose to be. They’re mostly human beings, they’re not creatures of darkness that have evil as a part of their essence. So when they do evil things, they didn’t have to, whereas the abyss possibly has no choice.
English

@MykesFeister Just say you like the game, there’s nothing wrong with the KH series having one (1) skippable entry. Super dishonest to act like Coded being skippable wasn’t the common opinion that everyone had (especially the ones that played it) before literally this year.

@re_ya4 @himephobia Idk if they could resist putting a random circle around the saucer is the thing 😭
English

@PyleAllen @himephobia orrr better imagine if nicole had a cuo of tea as her catalyst😭🫶
English

i like catalysts cuz other weapons usually have to kinda look like what they are while catalysts can just be some bullshit
🪽petal@coIumbinagf
that’s why catalyst is THE best weapon btw

Pretty much all of them. Start with the 1.5+2.5 collection. Here's the play order:
- Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
- Re:Chain of Memories
- 2 Final Mix
- 358/2 Days (Cutscene Movie)
- Birth By Sleep Final Mix
- Re:Coded (Cutscene Movie)
If you like them, then get 2.8 and KH3.

🫦@jayathesensei
as someone who isn't very familiar with Kingdom Hearts, which games are absolutely necessary to play and to understand the story?
English

@Jaguar2554_ I don’t see why they can’t be both, do people think the only kind of bad person is antisocial psychopaths?
English

Oh man this animated short will just piss off the people that want the Fatui to be evil monsters that destroy nations and shit instead of being unique "beings" with a touch of humanity's whimsy and love for the classics.

@magnetar_cube I am assuming the fallout in Bina’s mind was that no one was there for her when she was grieving Rosalyne.
English

I just genuinely don't understand how one can "shit oneself" like that. How am I supposed to empathise with a character if I can see that she seems not to value what she has, her entire conflict is childish, yet Dottore is blamed for everything
singularity of the psyche³@magnetar_cube
I really, truly love the dynamic between women and when it's written as "support through the ages," but that's precisely the problem... How then is Columbina's entire conflict built on the fact that she didn't understand social relationships and had no friends???
English

@Abel_0888 @Fluffball030902 Crazy how many people in KH are suffering from that 😭
English

@PyleAllen @Fluffball030902 the worst part is that ive seen some ppl wanting Kairi to start acting like how she was in the first game, being all sassy & not act like shes currently suffering from survivors guilt
English

so why do ppl act like she was wrong for saying this? i saw it as her liking Sora for who he is and doesnt want to change him, how she wants him to be what made her like Sora in the first place

@Abel_0888 @Fluffball030902 Fr like how was she supposed to know any of that was gonna happen?
English

@Fluffball030902 it just feels like they are treating what Kairi said to be the same as what Donald & Goofy did by having him repress his true emotions but it really isnt
English

@WLWReginleiv @G0ffThew Far too late to make this complaint, the change has solidly happened already.
English

@G0ffThew Not enough people complaining about how we have obfuscated the meaning of so many words. Fanservice, is anything and everything for the service/enjoyment of the fans. Whether it's gratuitous TnA or an old character coming back - things that all Xeno games have in spades
English

we really need to talk about how *only* wanting to see gooner stuff in anime is *also* contempt for the medium

I usually just laugh at this guys opinion because he's a doomer like his brother, but damn most of what he said has truth to it.
