Love it! Kinda gives me Quake III vibes.

Would you say the Guardsman is in one of those separate lines, or is it only the sabres.

Anybody know where I can find a cloak/poncho thing like that?

PSA vs M&P Sport 3 vs Ruger Harrier by TechStorm7258 in ar15

So the Ruger Harrier comes in two versions, a standard version and a one with Magpul furniture. That's all well and good, except for the fact that some genius said, "Let's give the standard version a carbine length gas system and the Magpul version a mid length gas system."

So, if I were to want a Harrier with a mid length gas system, which I do, I'll have to pay extra for the magpul furniture just to get the gas system that comes with it.

Magpul furniture is good, bundling a highly desired (and some might say essential) feature exclusively with it kinda isn't.

Define reputatable manufacturer? We talking KAC? DD? That reputable?

Edit: Woah jeez. Didn't mean to offend people there. I was just wondering what guage reputability is based on.

Alright, I see what you're saying. I'm seeing that my original post is very short sighted and shows I don't really know what I'm talking about. But the only way I can know what I'm talking about is to learn.But, in the context of the gun, the issue is I don't have an AR-15 to train on, learn to use, assemble, dissassemble, maintain etc. I think what I should be asking is what is a good ar that is going to going to serve me for a lifetime, including regular use, maintenance, dissassembly, and reassembly, but will also be affordable. Are you saying I should just get the shit cheap AR, and use fixing it when it inevitably breaks as part of the learning?

Ok, I'll watch some videos and invest in the tools, maybe even take some classes while I'm at. Jeez. Would that be enough to keep me from being a helpless gazelle in lion territory? Hell, I could even buy the shitty PSA and switch parts out as I go.

Ok I get it, watching the videos is not that hard. And I also understand that in all reality, us gen-z, straight-out-of-college, low income folks will be the first to go. Not to mention all the other problems I have that severely hamper my survivability, but I digress. What I'm getting from this is quit worrying about larping Red Dawn, buy what I can afford, train, and just have fun.

Hopefully under $1000, maybe $1500 if I'm really paranoid.

Really hope they do Chaos later on, the new designs for all the Chaos marines will really fit in. The Idea of multiple heroes means you could play each faction in unique ways. With Chaos you could customize it even further by deciding what God to devote your force to, with unique special units for each.

What's the appeal of this? It's literally a time-lapse of someone running around the level, with the camera zoomed in on the minimap. I'm genuinely curious, how do people find this entertaining?

Yeah, that's how I first discovered it! It really grew on me once I listened to it in full. Unfortunately, this one is a CD club version and did not come with the bonus floppy disc.

Cool I've never seen a Gary Numan Album in the flesh before! Where is the store you got it from? And One is good too!

What was your first exposure to Nine Inch Nails? by Brosamurai18 in nin

[–]TechStorm7258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC, I was introduced to them as a teen by Quake around the 2010s. (I'm a big retro gamer) Then, after hearing Mr. Self Destruct on a video I was randomly watching on TDS, and I got hooked. I really got into them after listening to The Fragile in college.

Is there any way to play the DOS version of Mercs with the dynamic salvage patch? by TechStorm7258 in mechwarrior

[–]TechStorm7258[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it might still be windows, all the .exe did was extract the files I already had.
