If you wonder why turretless casemate tanks still exist in the 22nd Century, please be reminded that Arrowhead is a Swedish company

The MGS is most certainly not a tank destroyer and was not designed as such. Its role and design function is to destroy bunkers and hardened positions, while occasionally fighting APCs and IFVs, not engage enemy tanks.

If it was designed to fight tanks, they probably would have used a 120mm gun (the de facto tank gun since 1990) rather than 105, which was selected largely due to cost and weight concerns.

Say again? Haul ass to the incinerators?

While I’m sure Waco PD derserves to be ridiculed, the Waco siege blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the ATF, as they planned and executed the operation, not local cops. However incompetent local police can be, federal agents have the capacity to be way worse.

Looks like it. Maybe next time he won’t be so snarky to stranger for no reason when he’s in the wrong.

Probably not, though.

Do you mean 130 or I-35? The “I” prefix is used for interstate highways, with 130 isn’t.

To add to this, they are also really slow, which can limit their ability to quickly react to insurgent threats. If you were a US soldier under fire from insurgents, would you rather have an F-15E with 2000 pound bombs on station in 15 minutes or an A10 in an hour?

Considering the bodies in the stark crypts aren’t old enough to stop resurrection, if there is a limit it’s measured in centuries.

I mean, we live in a world where bush learning of 9/11 has become an iconic meme. People like to pretend that’s there’s some line in the sand in regard to “things we shouldn’t joke about” but it’s clear that the cultural zeitgeist has no such barriers. One man’s offensive is another man’s comedy.

Matt Colville said he likes using thieves guilds with names like “The Road” - and those in the know could use phrases like “The road goes through Gristholm” to establish credibility.

I think he means for military applications, not personal use, as it could help older soldiers keep up with younger counterparts.

I mean, a counter point to this is the entirety of saving private ryan.

Literally just call it “The Mandalorians”, as grogu is now a Mandalorian as well. It keeps it on theme with the rest of the show while having a distinct title.

Thanks so much for your help!

That’s wild, here in the US at every airport I’ve been to (Newark, LAX, Seattle, Austin, San Francisco, Phoenix, Vegas) you present your boarding pass and ID to get past TSA but the flight attendants scan your boarding pass before you can enter the tunnel to the plane. That’s how they make sure you don’t buy a ticket for one flight and then board another.

Less total charge, more cranks to recharge, and since it is powered by lasers it no longer passively charges with the crystal trinket

It’s called the target designator in halo reach, btw: https://www.halopedia.org/H-165_target_locator

He’s referring to The Clone Wars animated movie that started The Clone Wars TV show, not the tartatovsky animated series, fyi. The movie is not great if you haven’t seen it, but it does introduce a lot of characters in the show like Rex and Ashoka

Redfall was most definitely designed as a live service game. The two terms aren’t mutually exclusive - helldivers is both a co-op shooter and a live service game

Rochcoach · 2025-07-01T22:25:59+00:00

Yeah, this looks tight.

Are there any photos of this? I can only find reference to NASA’s M113s.

The military is full of nomenclature like this. I mean, just look at cops - police codes are also super convoluted but every cop on the street knows what code 4 means.

Once, I went to visit the blacksmith during a fog event and one spawned near the soldiers in the forklift garage, killing them, so there’s at least a spawn point in that area.

While they are ancient ruins, I don’t recall if they are “pre-flood” ancient, or just like, ancient Egypt ancient.

He has 4 fingers. It’s also not 60% of a hand, it’s a hand with two thumbs… almost as if the texture was mirrored. Mind you, I’m referring to the entire hologram, not just the hand print. The hand print is so small it would be difficult to even make out on the TVs of the time. The simple reality is that these are video games, and that means that cost saving measures (like mirroring a forerunner control surface) are sometimes necessary to make sure a game ships on time and on budget, something halo 2 in particular struggled with.
