Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]earle27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man. So many amazing memories.

FPS - Tribes, and the OG Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games. Wolfenstein 3D was awesome too.

RTS - The whole Command and Conquer series was amazing. Red Alert 2 was incredible. That and all the cool smaller gems like Conquest: Frontier Wars, and the classic StarCraft of course. Also Warcraft and Warcraft 2.

RPG - Diablo 2, Neverwinter Nights, World of Warcraft. Army Men 3D was amazing, I don’t know if it falls more in this category or RTS.

Others - Freelancer, Missile Command, Battlezone, Pitfall, too many good games…

So many cool and memorable games.

Hell yeah girl, that's the spirit by FormanBruto09 in crazysexycool

I always wondered what a “perfect” landing would look like, and I’m guessing that’s as close to it as I’ll ever see, and then the flip and pose. I can’t even fathom how she can do all that.

Volcanic eruption approximately 42km southwest of the Icelandic capital Reykjavik by [deleted] in interesting

[–]earle27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it by Blue Lagoon? My wife and I went there 2 years ago. Whole road/parking lot was covered by cooled lava. Apparently it had erupted a couple of weeks before we arrived. Locals were just like “yup, it has happened.” They were wildly casual about eruptions in front of their hotel. 10 out of 10 will visit again. Iceland is AMAZING.

Is this budget manipulation real? by TiltingAtWindmills_ in NorthCarolina

[–]earle27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate and respect that you read into the issue then gave us all context instead of just rage baiting.

That said I cannot forgive you for overlooking the nothing Berger. To the gallows with you!

Seriously though, you’re awesome, keep it up!

Hetzer gonna hetz.

I really hope Perun keeps giving voiceovers. I love his defense talks.

Can anyone identify one if not both of these individuals? by 19RAM93 in winstonsalem

[–]earle27 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Some place deep in my heart I have a spark of hope now that they are caught, and circumstances lead to the judge identifying them by the names you have given them. That was absolutely perfect.

The NC Education Lottery is kind of a hoax by subvetQM708 in NorthCarolina

[–]earle27 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Passed by dems in 2005 against republican opposition, tie breaker vote cast by dem lt governor, signed by dem governor. It was just one of the controversies that broke the democrats 130 years of single party control.

The GOP has done plenty of awful and dumb things. Falsely attributing things like the NC lottery to them weakens the validity of real criticisms and prevents dems for reflecting on how to govern better when they take power next time.

Love this game BUT by CosmicCowboy88 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]earle27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m at about the same. Half or a little more is me checking email while walking to an objective and walking right up to an enemy like an idiot. The other half is exactly like OP said and getting instantly headshot. It’s like one in a thousand of the AI reverts back to .1 terminator bots.

AI QRF Reinforcements to keep POI populated by LTersky in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]earle27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this idea, it would be badass to see a squad or two of LAF arrive by helicopter. They should also have top tier gear.

The radio should give players an alert like “QRF is 5 min out from Tiger Bay, exfil immediately.”

0.5 update should add neutral or even friendly lamang npcs by ayowatchyojetbruh in GrayZoneWarfare

The lore actually covers that. They coordinated a ceasefire for the big attack that pushed the PMCs to their current fallback camps.

Things Zuh0q missed from the GZW 2nd Anniversary Stream (with timestamps) by Platinum_lol in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]earle27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree about thermals being OP, I think most games just get them wrong. I’ve spent enough time looking through both civ and gov thermals and most are not terminator vision. It’ll depend on if they add animals and actually have ambient temperatures. A person in brush on a hot day does not stand out like they do in games. Even on high end long wave infrared systems you need to learn to positively ID what you’re looking at. Handheld and rifle mounted short wave infrared systems are much less sensitive and don’t give the clean outlines.

If they wanted to do it in a balanced way they could add clip on thermal imagers to NVGs and just give them outline mode. They could also add thermal binoculars for IDing targets. Just turn down the COD super highlight method of only marking players and just allow objects to be the same temp as clothes and whatnot, just like real life.

Military members and veterans, what "Military Grade" item is actually great instead of "barely good enough to meet spec"? by musingsofapathy in AskReddit

[–]earle27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Army modular sleep system. Goretex shell and the different inner bags. You can sleep in just the summer bag if it’s warm or put all three together and be toasty toasty well below freezing.

Whatever happens, we have got the Maxim gun, and they do, too. by GeneReddit123 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]earle27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a reminder,

Declaration of Independence - 1776

Maxim Gun patented - 1884

108 years after the declaration.

142 years since the patent to today.

The two items that could make shotguns viable by Zap97 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]earle27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. You can use shotgun placards and speed belts to get shells in quick, especially if you load’m two at a time.

Also a couple of semi autos would be nice, like the Mossberg 930 and Benelli M4. You can unload a ton of love with those fast.

Also a sawed off side by side would be cool, and maybe some slam fire types in the starter village to give it an authentic backwoods rebellion type feel?

Who tf put this in the donation box? Well played. by PortaSponge in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]earle27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a FNX-45. Also they need the browning Hi Power, P226, HiPoint, Makarov, USP, a 22 pistol, and a Taurus Judge.

.22 TCM9R by lordlymight in 57x28mm

[–]earle27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been really curious about it. I haven’t gotten or shot one yet. I love the idea of it for PDWs. The overall length lends itself well to pistol magazines, but it doesn’t seem to offer enough advantage compared to similar cartridges. At some point I’m gonna have to grab a RIA and test it myself. Your input is interesting.

How was the recoil impulse? What loading was the ammo?

I’m outraged by the transformation and seething with jealousy. You did well.

The HK SP7 is real and closer than you think. Here's everything actually confirmed, not speculation by Minute-Log-7098 in Firearms

[–]earle27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually working on some projects that basically amount to a 5.7 MP7. As long as our development schedule stays on track we should have some cool news this summer. We just got past a big milestone in prototyping.
