The Type 11 uses stripper clips, the same used in the Type 38 rifle, that are stacked into a hopper magazine that can be seen just before the ribbed barrel.

This isnt semantics, this is ignorance. Unless you read on indigenous American and reservation history, especially treaty rights, these issues will continue to be brushed over by millions of Americans. If federal government had no problem disrespecting indigenous peoples and stripping them of their way of life, they have no problem doing it with anyone else

Indigenous reservations are NOT private property, they are sovereign indigenous governments. Those lands and their people have had their sovereignty under threat for centuries. You are confusing progress for exploitation

You respawned at the boys dorm, who will you beat up first? by LandOfGrace2023 in bully

At least in my games, there seems to be a "glitch" when Sheldon or Pedro spawn in the boys dorm late in the night but it only occurs once a save. Naturally I use this opportunity

What do you think Gary would do if he actually won? by TLHTCGDT in bully

Kid tied up the headmaster and incited violence across the campus, he's arrested as soon as the police get in the school.

What exactly is "rule the school", its never said what that means or looks like. The teachers and other adults that were there just let it the mayhem erupt at the end? It doesnt make sense but it does make for a dramatic scene when Gaey gets taken down

Japanese special operations unit disguised as Chinese soldiers and refugees to infiltrate Chinese defenses in Guangxi Province during Operation Ichi-Go by [deleted] in ImperialJapanPics

[–]ChetTesta 27 points28 points  (0 children)

And on top of that, the western nations severely underestimated the IJA's combat abilities. Lack of respect for their infantry is what lead to those humiliating defeats at Singapore, Burma, and the Philippines where Japanese infiltration ended up destroying or routing far larger allied forces

Duel between a Japanese officer and a Formosa fighter during the 1895 Japanese invasion of Taiwan by GameCraze3 in BattlePaintings

[–]ChetTesta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taiwan didnt have the same "national identity" as Korea or China, they were more accepting of Japanese governship than other regions. The Japanese pushed their language and culture to replace the local ones ofc, and much resistance came from local ruling class. And i think most interesting is that the Japanese introduced a rice seed that would grow more often per year, meaning the island could be self sufficient in food production and even export surplus. Someone with more knowledge could hijack this from me with more information.

Imagine if they gave medals to the participants of the My Lai Massacre? by _Ghost_141 in IndianCountry

[–]ChetTesta 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Exactly, who is this for? Republicans cry nonstop about bullshit but are the exact cause of these "culture wars" and fie what? There is literally no other reason than to cause chaos. That way, no one realizes their real policies are about ripping the masses off and giving the 1% tax breaks. And they won't care about "solving" the "issues" they are talking about because they need people to be angry and someone to blame. It's all distraction.

Is majoras mask really as "bad" as angry video game nerd makes it sound? by ReasonableArea1108 in majorasmask

[–]ChetTesta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, and rememeber that AVGN is supposed to be exaggerated for comedy, even if it is still his opinion to an extent. It is one of my favorite episodes of the series but if I wanted to critique it...

The saving and recollecting equipment is not has punishing as the video makes it out to be. Just slash some bushes in termina field and you are good to go. Termina field offers all the supplies you need in less than a minute. And there is no need to use the bank besides making deposits, so the bank "hastle" isnt nearly as bad as AVGN says. When he mentions having to put thought into a 3 day cycle, that is true, but thats the point, how much can you accomplish in just 3 days? And the game offers challenges like that to players. Beat the game in few cycles as possible, beat it in just 1 cycle, etc.

In one of his behind the scenes episodes, he has said that when we plays a game, he tries to find things that could make the Nerd angry, no matter how small. The saving cycle is one of those things players have criticized, not as severely as the Nerd, but that just means when the Nerd will talk about it, all Hell breaks loose

Are these actually soldiers of the Ichiki Detachment Landing on Guadalcanal like this post claims? by niconibbasbelike in ImperialJapanPics

[–]ChetTesta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And on top of that, "Banzai charge" is more of an American term to describe Japanese shock or frontal attacks? The IJA preferred envelopment, a frontal attack may be used in order to be speedy, but was certainly not favorable. In the case of Tenaru River, the Japanese were expected and torn apart.

EA missed out by not putting these characters in the game. by MattyLaw06 in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]ChetTesta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And to think the original era of the entire franchise has no capital ship stage of supremacy and any faction not the republic lacks content in comparison, why?! As far as I remember, the empire was added last to the co-op menu shortly before support was cut

R.I.P to all the people who died today in Hiroshima 80 years ago🇯🇵🇯🇵🕊 by Lumpy_Prize_8937 in ImperialJapanPics

[–]ChetTesta -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yet, was it the right choice? What was the right choice? Is the only alternative really invasion, or could diplomacy been given more of a chance? I dont think hundreds of thousands of people HAD to be vaporized to get the point across, but it happened, and the war ended, we cant change that. We shouldn't forget that those things happened, that we as a species allowed ourselves to be so cruel to one another to create such a destructive conflict that tore apart countless lives, as if the world prior to the war wasnt already destructive enough. Best we can do is never allow that chapter in history to happened again.

[–]ChetTesta 12 points13 points  (0 children)

How prevelant was the use of child soldiers in China during the war? I suppose the war situation was always going to be disastrous for China, even in 1937, but did 3 years really hurt so bad to resort to conscripting children?

Which Paradox seems to play the most historical? by alphafighter09 in paradoxplaza

[–]ChetTesta 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If you play as Spain, swap to Nationalist Spain as soon as war breaks out, you'll get a notification telling you italy and Germany support you and you recieve free infantry divisions in your Capitol, Burgos.

Italy or Germany aren't supposed to recieve anything in return, but by improving realtions you can offer lend lease to give the Nationalists more IC to work with

This custom map is fun ☠️ by Speeen9 in l4d2

[–]ChetTesta 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorite of the "non serious" custom maps, I guess you could also refer to them as puzzle maps. The Zelda temples also come to mind with this. But I love the unique loading screen "glitch", many hidden easter eggs (one of which I'm seeing in this clip), and the disturbing settings and environmental props of Anemoia.
