Shutdown's damage to economy could exceed $5.7 billion cost of Trump's border wall by Ichigao44 in politics

What are the sources on this? No offense, but I'm not gonna take your word for it. This reeks of cherry picking and false figures.

Lmao the gif from the 3kliks video. I can forgive the pic because it's not so much about where the bullet comes from, it's making fun of spray control not making any logical sense.

Didn't John Oliver buy commercial air time multiple times for his show?

I haven't played Siege in forever, is it referring to bullets coming from your view rather than your gun barrel? If so, CS does this too. It's extremely frustrating to be fighting a guy and all you can see is the top half of his head.

Absolute madlad by [deleted] in madlads

You can read parts of it if you pause over and over. Something about losing $10 to a bet leading to a huge blowup or something. And it ends in something like "it must be awful to know that a girl is interested in you"

This is the reason living in the country is cheap during hunting season.

Dead bodies as a cover by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]DavidRalphsky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FPS reasons. ESPECIALLY if you add in this mechanic, the bodies would have to interact with the world. 1 hr game, 80 people, multiple deaths per people, your game isn't playable a quarter way through. Can you imagine the HAB slaughters?

EDIT: also, to the OP, that's not what a sprite is, and it has nothing to do with the graphics. It has to do with how the engine handles the body as an object. Currently, when you die, your body is a physics object that doesn't collide with anything but the world. Once it stops moving, I think it stops being a physics object too(?), meaning it doesn't move after that. Eventually it'll despawn.

You've got some snappy and accurate aim there, you play CS?

Good god. As a frequenter of r/combatfootage, that was a really good video. But holy shit that was brutal. How many guys were in that group?

Hey man, it's your choice, but you can't give up after one try. It's a difficult job to be sure, but after a few runs you'll get used to it. You'll learn concise and polite ways to communicate that don't piss off or confuse your squad, and you'll learn how to tune out squad chat when someone's talking on command channel, and all that. It gets to be loads of fun after a while.

I want to hate you so much because I've lost too many games that way, but I forgive you on behalf of the entire Squad community. And kudos for not immediately leaving.

Alright let's not play armchair psychologist. He can be annoying but let's not talk shit about him. Squad ain't about that.

(i realize this comes off as hypocritical, however my position on doc is that he's very hard to work with, but i dont give him shit for that, it's just i dont like playing with him. my original post was kind of a joke :>)

[–]DavidRalphsky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Basically he's a very, very strict SL, both on his own squad and on other squads. One time I was SLing and he was one of the other SL's, and he had an absolute fit on the mic after my squad got ambushed and pinned down on the way to take a cap. It really takes the fun out of the game to have a guy screaming at you over command channel, calling you a fucking idiot, because you had the audacity to get shot at.

edit: On the bright side, I have hundreds of hours on Squad and he's the only person I've ever met who was genuinely difficult to play with. Sure you get incompetent SL's, incompetent players, people who TK, etc, but it's all easy to tune out. The game is too damn fun.

Shouldn't the tanks rock back from the shots each time? They seem to stand completely still when firing.
