I agree! The 2nd amendment isn’t for the right or left. It is for EVERYONE, some people just chose to ignore it because they could. It’s easy to make fun of open carry gun nuts and paranoid preppers, but you know maybe a government that is unwilling/unable to help you isn’t so far fetched after all

Anyone can buy similar stuff, train at a range every month or so to get proficient (dry fire is fine too if you don’t have a range), read a few military manuals your tax money paid for. Being a responsible gun owner may sound daunting but it’s not.

Then work on physical fitness a bit, enough to take a 5+ mile hike without dying. Learn some first aid too because everyone should be able to deal with a gunshot wound anyway.

In the end you can’t assume that your political opponents to take risks for you

Calling someone’s AR military grade is a pretty good insult!

“strawman”

does not eleborate further, thinks they won, leaves

Anybody know if you can do this on boost?

I like it because I’m less likely to vote just because others have upvoted it. I’m more honest with what I actually like and dislike

Hell yeah one of my favorite games!

They do a lot of optimization for modern hardware like supporting wide screen resolutions. They fixed major show stopper bugs along with a ton of tiny fixes and added a lot of mod-like options in the settings.

For example it’s a turn based game so your guys do everything based on “time units”. In the base game it can be a big risk to peek around a corner, see an enemy and not have time to fire or even retreat back to safety. OpenXcom can show you how many time units you’ll have left and in colors if you have enough time to shoot when you get there. Cool stuff!

The AI seems pretty true to vanilla but they put in a rule that you have at least one turn to get out of your drop ship without being fragged or rocketed by aliens. There are third party mods that make the aliens work as a team to sneak up or flank you. Those scare me so I haven’t tried it yet lol

I played some X-COM via OpenXcom. Having fun trying to keep from getting massacred assaulting an alien base!

If you flush once and it doesn’t go down no problem, if you (or someone you know) tries to flush again no water will leave but the toilet valve tries to fill the bowl more.

So step one is to stop a potential flood of nasty water from overflowing to the floor

Multiplayer relies on other people so they are more likely to have people buy it early on to play with their friends and a high player count.

The downside is you’re paying full price for a game that still has issues to sort out. And eventually the game dies off when everyone else moves on to the next thing

Single player games are cool because in many ways the value goes up over time. You pay a lot less to get a full more polished game, some with an awesome mod community making even more stuff.

But to get back on track with this post yeah you can totally balance it. Play the best multiplayer games while new single player games release, get fixed and get less expensive

It was a two hour kind of day

Thanks! To be fair I glossed over a LOT

Metal Gear Solid 2 plays out like this. Spoilers below but it came out in 2001 so whatever

The bad guy is a former President that knew his job was just as a figurehead, nothing more. He found out the hard way that even his orders came from a cutout.

He recruited “terrorists” to take the sitting President “hostage” so they could “force him” to detonate an EMP over the east coast. The plan is to dismantle the shadow government (actually AI) running the government/censoring public opinion and hopefully free the country

You play as the wide eyed idealistic special forces infiltrator, trained heavily through VR and sent to “rescue” the sitting President from the “terrorist leader” and learn that everything you know is wrong and you were given orders by the AI all along

After a few failed tries I started doing a serious play to win run of XCom UFO Defense with OpenXCom. The game can seem daunting but it’s honestly pretty fun!

Then I looked into other open source games and got distracted big time by starting Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 for my first time EVER with OpenRCT2! I now fully understand the hype and it’s crazy that I haven’t played it sooner

I mean, yeah

I like them

It’s not surrounded by a ton of corporate bs. I know the us govt has their own openstreetmap setups (like this basic unclassified one) and wiki sites (intellipedia) because it’s a proven framework to set up and add your own information.

gps too

2D Splinter Cell when stealthy, 2D John Wick when spotted

They did a great job with the gun characteristics too!

Only if they hit his dog first
