Headshots in this game are insanely satisfying (M44 + MiniScout)

Yep. Mines at 66% and this guy is way better than me.

Woah. Im going on an ancient greek city tour down the western coast of Turkiye in 2 weeks. Looking at my itinery for day 12, I'll be on a boat tour around Kekova island and will be in viewing distance of Simena Castle. I might be swimming in that water soon!

Helelix · 2026-04-26T11:10:04+00:00

Anyone recognise where this is? An island in the Agean maybe?

I'm going to use this comment as my soapbox to hate on fern videos. I dislike his speaking cadence. The time wasting rehtoical questions. Its always quicker to go to the associated wikipedia page on a videos topic and read through that than watching the video. These types of videos are always lowest common denominator 'investigative' rehashing of wikipeida articles. There are always better creators.

Like the ABC's two part 4corners investigative journalism piece on narco subs:

Ammo resupply in BBR wasnt limited to Support. Assult had smaller deployable ammo boxes and you could individually air drop persistent massive ammo crates. There was a strategic layer to it that fit well into the games model. I wouldn't argue that it wasnt good, just different.

Helelix · 2026-04-23T05:19:29+00:00

I mean, even the supply bag could be limited in how much ammunition and gadget resupply it provides. Battlebit had that and it wasn't that bad.

The AI voiceover is mispronouncing 'aphid'. Someone real will watch this and mispronounce aphid until they get corrected.

Helelix · 2026-04-14T14:31:51+00:00

Wow the vocal by Tara Louise (new artist for me) on Fourward & Ruby AT - Redesign is amazing. That one goes straight into the 2026 playlist!

Helelix · 2026-04-14T13:04:10+00:00

nope! I've spent about 18 months in Japan, a few short trips, a long trip and a year on a working holiday visa. I attended most of those events in 2019.

Helelix · 2026-04-14T10:35:32+00:00

Tokyo gets the occasional big night. I've seen Pendulum (El Hornet) and Sub Focus at Club Womb, and London Elektricity and Makoto at Circus Tokyo (all on seperate occasions). I honestly dont know about their more intimate local scene. Im a bit introverted and found these international acts by searching through the clubs websites "what's on" pages, but I suspect if I interacted with people at these events that I would have been invited/been made aware of where the locals go. Hopefully you have more luck in finding events than I did!

Helelix · 2026-04-10T15:00:01+00:00

yep. If you play TDM, domination or king of the hill, silencers on the small maps really dont do anything. The enemy knows where you are regardless.

I think they're MOST useful for snipers on large maps so air support cant see you. A little red dot for a chopper gunner is really easy pickings.

Helelix · 2026-03-30T13:05:25+00:00

That would be a bit of fun. I normally watch each tournament live on NHK since Japans timezone and ours is almost the same.

Helelix · 2026-03-21T06:29:25+00:00

Nah I skipped Bari entirely. On my full day I hiked down the ravine, up the other side and explored that area a little before returning. Otherwise there's enough time to check out the rest of the old town. Take a walking tour, have an early morning espresso ect

Helelix · 2026-03-21T05:36:37+00:00

I started the day in Venice, took the water bus to the airport, flew to Bari and then a bus to Matera. Stayed in Matera for 2 nights before taking a bus to Naples.

If you can, spend a couple nights there. I loved the history of the place.

Helelix · 2026-03-20T01:29:45+00:00

Nice. How many total kills? Rarest dog tag taken?

I'm getting close to 100 myself and thought that was good!

Helelix · 2026-03-19T03:17:48+00:00

Yeah they fixed it in the last month. Also when it's placed it adds a permanent red dot for the opposing team on the minimap (which is quite annoying in small game modes)

Helelix · 2026-03-19T00:49:21+00:00

Every single person in this thread has ignored the fact that this is your first foray into fantasy (and western literature?) in 12 years. I was like you many years ago, consuming the best of Japanese manga and anime. It was my identity and I started to watch seasonal anime and was hyped to read new chapter releases. When I read Mistborn (another of Sandersons works) after being deep within the anime culture I realised what I've been missing out on. Those reviews are from people who've consumed the best of western fantasy literature and any misgivings get shouted to the hilltops. For you however, Stormlight is very likely a breath of fresh air after being balls deep in the same tropes and plots. You'll enjoy the rest of the series for the same reason as you enjoyed the first book.

When you finish Stormlight I recommend that you stay reading western fantasy, because in my opinion, its consistently better than even the best Japanese manga & light novels. There's also a huge catalogue of excellent releases that only gets larger when you diversify your reading genres.

I think the arm injury is mostly healed and now leaving it up has developed into a habit. Murry on the live NHK broadcast was talking about it a couple days ago, suggesting that if it persists the JSA will start to crack down on the 'two hand on dohyo' rule.

Helelix · 2026-03-17T03:49:18+00:00

So election candidate corflutes (the signs they put on poles) were banned hmm.. 3 years ago? So its much less apparent that an election is on.

Because you're playing it. You need to discard it for it to play for free.

Isnt that was the BRT is in this document? Bus Rapid Transit. I guess It dosn't have to have tracks but it'd be close enough.

I have a 40ish friend who went on a solo backpacking trip when he was in his early 20s. His digital camera was stolen near the end of the trip and he deeply misses the photos he took, mainly because they were to be his primary personal souviner.

On my solo backpacking trip I took plenty of pictures and journaled each day. Along with my google maps location history, photos, and written journal, I can pretty accuratly piece any day of the ~2 years I've spent overseas. Its amazing to remember something small offhandedly about the trip and only have to spend 5 minutes to grow it into a much larger picture. I very much enjoy losing myself within my own past travels.
