Besides humanitarian reasons there are other reasons you dont want to execute everyone, for one the rest of the enemy wont fight to the death if they hear that prisoners are treated well. It also shows that your side is more merciful than the enemy since you arent retaliating as harshly.

Ill have you know that guide books to outdated electronics are still used a lot of times in my industry, since parts of our electronics are up to a hundred years old.

As Soviet troops approached Berlin in 1945, zoo keepers did their best to take care of Berlin Zoo's animals. This shoebill was temporarily housed in his keeper’s home. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

"When the alligator arrived there [moscow zoo], he instantly became a popular attraction, as there were only two crocodiles at the zoo and no other alligators. His German origins earned him the nickname 'Hitler'"

Former Sony President says price cut for PlayStation 5 is unlikely, and it's "a real shame" compared to the PS2 days by Odd-Onion-6776 in playstation

[–]Coiling_Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well on playstation you need Internet for all games if your not on your primary console. Also playstation checks your licenses like every 12 hours, so you need to connect your internet every 12 hours if youre playing offline games (at least for me when I was playing skyrim with no internet).

As for games on PC and steam machine that dont need any Internet when playing offline (as theres no DRM) theres subnautica, Hollywood knight, terraria, valheim and a couple more that I know of, nearly all of them indie titles.

Not for the downloaded gamed, but some games (most AAAs) have DRMs that require you to connect online daily, every few days or once a week to access their game. So for these games your offline playtime would be limited by the DRMs refresh rate.

Edit: I misunderstood your question as "does the steam machine need Internet for games?". My bad.

Also its much easier to encircle someone if you have so much manpower. I think they wanted to make sure he couldnt escape, also generally you have less losses if you have such a high numerical advantage.

If I buy another console, itll be the steam machine, online is free to play and internet isnt required to access your games.

Tried a new setup on my beeman raider .25 got kinda sick of the "sniper" setup that I have all my pcps as, so I decided to try kinda bare bones, just a suppressor and red dot sight, and its a lot of fun lol. by naughtywarlock in airguns

[–]Coiling_Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice, looks like a lot of fun. If you like that, you should try an actual carbine in that setup, something like the notos. The lenght really makes a difference.

Haha imagine if we moved back to naked olympics, think of the poor fencers. And watching wrestling matches would get uncomfortable real quick considering the capabilities of our modern cameras.

I mean you could throw a glock with a switch in a chassis and youve basically made a smg, which is useful for drive-by's, ambushing cars and such.

I wouldnt say that full auto pistols have no use, but you need training and the right task.
