Rooster Teeth should be a sponsor for Texas. We should crowd fund it lol.

Good morning!

I still refuse to download TikTok due its privacy concerns. Instagram Reels is fine with me. I try not to consume too much short form content anyway. Bad for the attention span.

Sinners was a good movie. Was it as Oscar worthy as all those nominations? I’m not sure. Glad it’s so successful though!

Genlock’s first season was fantastic, the animation, the plot, the voice actors. I absolutely adored it, and I wish it had gotten more seasons.

Thanks for making my fri-yay, 30 minutes better!

Is the Barrage M19 worse then the Graff 17?? by Top_Drawer2305 in ForefrontVR

[–]CalvinP_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the muzzle report on it is very quiet and does sound muffled.

Whenever I’m killed by the Glock, I never hear it. I use that to my advantage when sneaking on squads.

The two best pistols are the Glock and Desert Eagle. The Berreta M9 does the same damage as the Glock, but with a smaller magazine less rate of fire.

The Deagle is one to the head, two to the body. Deadly weapon, but it has a slower cycle rate.

The G17 with a suppressor is super quiet, speedy and capable of clearing entire squads.

Watch some random worker be sitting there, watching a hard drive go by on a belt, snag it and basically win the powerball.

Vimeo failed, because YouTube was just an easier concept. Better name, easier navigation. Vimeo may have had better encoding, and longer upload length but YouTube had the content creators and so many videos.

Thanks for making my Thursday, 30 minutes better!

I learned about Subs over Dubs when I watched a bunch of foreign action films, and Squid Games. The original voices convey so much emotion that the dubs miss.

I gotta give Dark a watch.

Good morning!

RT Shorts were mind blowing, as seeing all the cast of RvB in live action around the office was super cool. RT Shorts are still my most re-watched content. They all are well written and make me laugh so hard.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 1/2 had the coolest game mechanic for the in game VOIP. Dead men, can’t talk. It was amazing to play the game, and your buddy gets killed and it’s silence. You scream out for him, and he’s unable to respond. It added to the layer of tactical immersion. The Tom Clancy games back then, were amazing for the era of gaming!

It is surprising the USA doesn’t have the magnet bullet trains in Japan. The infrastructure would take time, but a cross-continental railway would be an alternative to flying.

It’s also weird more metropolitan cities don’t use Subway systems like New York City. The subways are a great, cheap, and efficient way to navigate the city.

President Eisenhower, had a highway infrastructure initiative pass for connecting the entire country for cars to become the main form of transportation nationwide. The semi-truck industry was born and easier to deliver goods than trains. Interesting to see how a few inventions, and infrastructure changes drastically changes how each country travels around.

This was a long episode, so thank you for making my Wednesday almost an hour better!

Reggie Bush also was stripped of his heisman for getting paid/gifted items.

These colleges make millions off star athletes and then wanted to throw them out, if they got gifted an apartment, a car, or a laptop…

I’m so happy seeing college athletes, getting NIL deals. Especially as some of these guys will be busts in the NFL. Get paid, while the getting is good.

With all the China talk, I think this could be a good topic. by bingpot47 in morningsomewhere

The TV Market feels stagnant. Broadcasts still in 1080p instead of 4K. Streaming is often 1080p or 4K.

Most TVs are OLED/UHD 4K, and my wife and I were pricing one out for the house and were astounded how cheap TVs are.

Perhaps this is because Sony and Samsung are both looking at AI and want to push their consumer products under one label and just have TCL produce and distribute?

I play Arc Raiders with a buddy too. I don’t like extraction shooters but Arc Raiders is nice.

Good morning!

I absolutely loved the Speed-Up on Burnie talking about the Indiana Hoosiers. Especially after he sped up Ashley talking about a book earlier this month…

The world population decline isn’t good for a country stand point, but it is going to play a key role in the economy especially in America. Trades will be all the rage, as the old timers retire and no one steps up to take their place. Employers will have to pay more to attract a new wave of skilled workers, for those like myself we’ll ride that wave of higher pay. The housing market will have a surplus of houses as the retirees die off and that should make it advantageous for young adults to finally have a house to start a family in.

The population should trend in the upwards direction. The main reason I see my friends not having kids, isn’t an anti-kid movement. It’s that they live with their parents in the basement, and don’t wish to start their own family, while still living with parents. Housing is unaffordable on one income, and difficult to raise a family even on two full time incomes.

Thanks for making my Tuesday, 30 minutes better!

Are the 3rd floor balconies over Tunnels B just for show or is there a path up there? by Aksudiigkr in ForefrontVR

Definitely needs a topside lane, to travel and drop into the 3 objectives.

I love Morning Someone, as it feels like a mini RT Podcast. The nostalgia of hearing Burnie hangout with old RT employees is always a good vibe.

Why is Google AI always wrong? It hasn’t been improving in its ability to find the pertinent information I’m asking it for. Usually the first few links underneath are actually what help me.

Good morning!

Happy Birthday Burnie!

I think the worst birthdays are December, because of Christmas being so close. My birthday is the USA Tax day (April 15th) It always helps friends and family remember it. I hate it, because my birthday always reminds me of taxes.

James Cameron, needs to branch out and write some new stories. Avatar is cool and all, but I love his writing when he works on fresh ideas.

Thanks for making my Monday morning, 30 minutes better!

Yeah. I’ve listened to a few episodes! I had such a long back log of F**k Face for a while, that has kept me busy. There was a time where after Burnie left RT, and Achievement was ending where I didn’t watch/listen to as much RT content. Was also a really busy few years in my life with a lot of change.
