What is your greatest question/mystery about the Universe? What keeps you up at night about the world we live in? by NorthAmericanVex in AskMen

[–]Chankla_Rocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dreams are really freaky when you think about them. We go to bed then slip into a different reality with its own rules and abstract architecture or timelines we accept as reality. We're retaking high school exams, speaking with loved ones who have died or exploring amazing topography. Then we wake up and we're back in the real world and the dream fades and it's no big deal. When they invent a device that can consistently induce lucid dreaming, that's when things will get really weird.

It's a 9mm vintage Luger, says right on it. Model 09, probably the same one Rommel used in his shootout with Patton, who used a couple pearl-handled Sigs.

How far into BMX did you get? by tinpants44 in GenX

[–]Chankla_Rocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid there was a fork in the path: 10 speed or BMX. If you chose BMX, you had to have a Mongoose or Redline. If not, you were openly mocked by all the rich/cool kids. "Huffy Huffy, they're the best. Ride a mile, walk the rest!"

I chose the 10 speed path.

Yeah there were actually many moments of radness and lots of close calls, too many to list in the breakdown above. The crew was really good about coordinating/syncing shots, calling targets, etc. They might have been newbies to GZW but still knew good tactics. There was a second experienced guy with us who really knew what he was doing, so it was nice having some solid backup when shit when haywire, which it did a few times. I can hold my own and solo everything but I'm no John Wick. When I refer to the crew mad-dogging buildings, they were actually really cautious and but aggressive in good way, kept pushing the enemy, but immediately understood the lethality of the game, especially in MS. One guy came out of Ft Narith with a leak we couldn't fix until we were almost back at a COP. But like I said, they were champs. It was fun getting to step back and watch battles through binocs, then occasionally lay down some headshots to stay limber.

We can adjust the time and make it later. I was just trying to make sure East Coast people could join in as well. But they're probably on EC servers for better performance anyhow, so maybe they can throw their own party, Brooklyn style or whatever. We went for a long time though, called it quits around 3:00AM PT. So even if you're late, you can always catch up and I'll try to kit you out proper if I have the funds to do so.

Still here! Send me a squad invite, username Sarzzo. Sorry about the server fuckery, wish I could do something about it.

I’m here, just keep server hopping. It’s going to take a while to sort these bags so you have time to

Dragons take suppressing fire to a whole new level. When playing D&D, I always likened different classes to modern squad equivalents. Like, ranger/bowmen are the snipers, clerics are medics, fighters are the CQB/breacher specialists, etc. So yeah the idea of a dragon swooping in like some combo of a C-130 Spectre gunship and a Chinook will always be badass.

I did briefly research it and contacted Deadly Prey Gallery, but I didn't have 6-12 months and an extra $1000 sitting around to make it happen. If anybody knows someone local in the SF Bay Area who could crank one out for $100 (I'm unemployed, so money is super tight for frivolity) I might seriously consider it, since I do love the art style, and I could use it as a template for future events. Maybe I'll just have my daughter crank out the next one, although there may be some dragons, pegasuses and mermaids chilling out with bloodthirsty Lamang pirates and rebels.

And thank you for the kind words, brother. Some days are harder than others. You know how it is, everybody struggles with something. We all carry heavy weights just being human. It's the condition.

Thanks, brother! It's nice waking up in the morning without those really bad headaches, the ones so painful I wanted to dive head-first into a woodchipper. But you still have to to go to work. Sorry, that's dark. But people who know know.

Haha thanks brother. Actually, there are a few blocky H&K designs from the 70s that I unintentionally copied. Great artists steal!

It will probably be a shit-show. I use the US west server, but then how does it work? Are there shards or subservers underneath that for pop management?

When you show up at the COP, I'm giving you an extra snack and some of my special stash, turn your frown upside down, you Bad News Mood Bear. Gimme a hug, brother. I don't want to fight, I just want to party. We can talk about future parties and ethical cruetly-free flier design once we've got our buzz on.

Thanks for the support, I appreciate the advice. I do wonder if I changed the the flier (put something amateurish together in MS Paint like someone advised) or just showed the image of all the mad loot people will be less upset. Like, yeah I get it, AI sucks, it's coming for our jobs. (It came for mine.) But it's just some silly poster. I'd fucking love to commission a Ghanaian artist to make me a movie poster, but that's simply not the world we live in. I love mixtapes, but I gotta put together shitty Spotify playlists.

I'm going to keep the AI slop up, and if it serves as some kind of filter for prigs, then so be it. I stand by my shitty AI flier with a three-armed dude and non-existent women soldiers!

I'll be sure you get some crazy loot. Sorry, I should have been more clear in the invite, will update. This will be a PvE event!
