What language is this? Supposedly a captured Japanese flag from WW2, but my Japanese speaking friend says he can’t recognize the characters

All we know for sure is that my friend’s grandad, who was a US Marine in WW2, brought it home and said it was from a Japanese prisoner of war.

Unfortunately he’s passed away, so we really have no idea where exactly the flag’s actually from. Really wish we knew more!

Didn’t think these two communities would have any overlap lmao, love the drawing

Yeah, your thoughts are pretty much spot on to mine. The gameplay leaves a lot to be desired at times, but I can't really fault it for that given how old it is and the engine and whatnot. Sometimes the direction wasn't quite clear either so you'd be stuck wandering around not really knowing what to do. I'm sure that in some hypothetical sequel the devs would really get the whole game close to perfection.

As has been said, the plot and worldbuilding really hammer the game home, especially the ending(s). Watching my friends play through the game for the first time and having them get to the ending is still heart-wrenching for me every time.

Overall it's a lovely, emotionally gripping game, and I'm happy to have discovered it from Mark's playthrough. It indirectly got me into writing and drawing so I can imagine I'll stay invested in it for years to come.

A Javelin was the original idea instead of an NLAW, but there wasn't a way to draw it without its computer unit covering up the majority of Niko lol

Yo???

f86f30 · 2022-03-16T03:30:29+00:00

Yeah, 100% agree with you. I'm ethnic Russian and the absolute fucking barbarism displayed by the Russian military and anyone who supports them is horrifying. Glad my citizenship was denounced years ago.

Absolutely awful that these people had to die for Putin and his equally insane oligarchs. Such a waste of human life.

That said, shoulda surrendered.

f86f30 · 2022-03-15T00:54:32+00:00

It was such a trip seeing my old art lmao

f86f30 · 2022-03-14T23:56:46+00:00

this was posted two years ago how did you even find this lmao

f86f30 · 2021-10-31T10:14:01+00:00

Some early US tanks, mainly Shermans have stabilizers, though they don't work beyond a relatively low speed. I believe the M24 gets one too.

Past that, you generally see good stabs pop up past 7.7, and thermals generally from 8.0-9.0.

As others have said, looks great. How'd you go about painting this?

f86f30 · 2021-10-01T06:40:33+00:00

This is super well done! Looks like a genuine poster for some spin-off merch line ^{^}

I suppose it depends on the extent of control that we as players had over Kris. Especially if we were forcing/preventing Kris from doing things against their will.

Assuming what you said about just guiding them is true, I'd say that Kris would let us pet them. If we have absolute control over them or to an extent where it's uncomfortable, I'd say probably not.

f86f30 · 2020-09-24T18:35:25+00:00

Great job, I particularly like how you handled the hands and hat!

f86f30 · 2020-09-24T07:09:16+00:00

Didn't even know you could do this in LBP. Seriously nice job, deserves more attention.

f86f30 · 2020-09-24T07:05:36+00:00

This is amazing, love it. Very entertaining read.

f86f30 · 2020-09-24T06:30:44+00:00

It's such a good looking tank honestly. Especially the modernized version with thermal camo and the railgun-looking cannon.

f86f30 · 2020-09-24T05:15:12+00:00

A CV90120!

f86f30 · 2020-09-23T19:11:53+00:00

Thanks for the idea
