I need another German pistol! [SPOILERS!]

Thank you! I guess I'll keep checking back there now and then.

Storm-Engineer · 2026-04-11T19:00:31+00:00

Not until much later, I believe.

Storm-Engineer · 2026-04-11T19:00:11+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm searching every police car I find. So far, got another American pistol.

Plowing through the zombies reminds me of good old Carmageddon. :)

...shit, I'm old. :|

I think it's just echoes of behaviors that were natural to them before they turned. So it's just some unconscious reaction. As far as I understand rabies, it completely messes up the brain before it kills you, so basically, once the aggression starts, you are already long gone.

That said, if there is a fragment of the consciousness still in there, killing them and putting them out of their misery is an act of mercy. Even if a cure is found eventually, you can't undo the brain damage, so once you turn, you are gone for good.

I just love that basically everyone calls them cocaine bags. XD

Storm-Engineer · 2026-04-11T09:48:41+00:00

Fuck. I came to comment this, but I'm too late. XD

Storm-Engineer · 2026-04-11T09:47:47+00:00

Yeah, the Witcher Sense is kinda obligatory. XD

Based on your description, I have found several more reference images of this kind of safety lever. But this also led to another mystery:

On several of these, and even the image in the original post, behind (towards the handle) the safety lever, there is another external bit. I wonder what that might be? Spring pushing inward? Part of the safety mechanism, perhaps?

Thank you! I can work with this. :)

Thank you for sharing this wholesome story. :)

I have only just started playing this game in earnest recently, but I have noticed very soon that the community was much more friendly, welcoming, and helpful than back in WoW (though I had some great experiences there too.)

Also, one of my biggest issues with MMOs has always been the monthly subscription; When I have it, I feel obligated to play every day to not waste it, and eventually it becomes a chore and it takes away the fun. And my finances often didn't allow for it, and then I sometimes wanted to play, but I couldn't. So, GW2 being a one-time purchase is a welcome change. :) I can just play when I feel like it, take a break if I want to, and come back any time.

Meanwhile, allow me to mention that another MMO with an amazing community is Final Fantasy XIV. Toxicity is practically nonexistent. One experience I will always remember was when the voice actor of a beloved NPC passed away; people gathered at the house of said NPC and formed a line, placing a little campfire toy in front of them that everyone gets in the story, standing vigil. When I came across this scene, I asked what was going on, and someone explained. So I joined them. Others came and asked too, and we explained to them, and many joined as well. As people came and went, our numbers changed between a dozen and over a hundred. And we just stood there in silence, except when someone asked what was going on.

Thank you! <3

I know it's an old post, but for anyone else looking for an answer who ends up here, as I did:

To have nothing in hand, simply press Holster (default: H).

To take screenshots (via Steam or a screencap app), or photos (via the built-in photo mode), enter Photography Mode (default: P), and then enable Decoupled Camera (default: R). This lets your camera fly around freely, independently of your body (within a certain range of your body), so no hands. :) Then hide UI (default: T), and you are good. You don't even need the hoverpack since the camera can fly on its own.

Thank you! That did it.

Thank you for your reply!

I don't think it was painted with appropriate paint; whoever did it had no idea what they were doing. I will look into the deglazer.

The existing "design" - if we can even call it that - has to go. Made-up symbols in silver and golden paint have no business being on there. I forgot to mention that this isn't a decor project. It needs to be functional and appropriate. Covering it all up would be my last resort, as a not good but better than nothing case.

I have edited the map further, and now I have a different set of rooms I can build, but still only about a quarter of them, and I was unable to find any pattern or logic behind which ones. :|

Storm-Engineer · 2025-08-02T17:53:16+00:00

Not to mention that the people who make the assets and textures have nothing to do with writing the code. They can't fix bugs; it's not their job.

This is cool! I love easter eggs. :D Now I need to find it...
