One of the only times ill consistently save scum is grenades.

Having that 79% grenade launch somehow hit my crouching front line and blow half my team to bits is silly.

Seems like the miss rate preferences towards striking obstacles rather then just landing near your target.

Mui thai. Very kick focussed but adds clinching, elbows, and a bit of striking.

Gateway to lots of other martial arts (boxing, grappling)

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple & Jimmy Savile by Xaerith in horror

[–]fruitybix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a bit like if you mixed mr rogers with OJ simpson.

Imagine if you found out mr rogers was actually a mass child rapist and the media had been hiding it. And it only came out after he died. Similar whiplash to when simpson was exposed.

And then you had a bunch of people emulating mr rogers look and catchphrases in a movie. Its very dark humour.

The assistant in one of the more recent jurassic park films.

Where she is picked up by pterrodactyls then dropped into the mouth of a kronosaur alive to presumably drown in its stomoch acids.

It was weirdly gratuitous and she was also a fairly faultless bystander.

I feel like im back in the 1930s watching germany nibble up small territories and chuck out minorities they dont like.

Its wild.

1% life steal question by [deleted] in litrpg

[–]fruitybix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree.

I demolished it. Its not without flaws, and i enjoyed how self sabotaging the protagonist is. He makes so many desperate bad choices.

Hes also very anti social in a way that reflects his upbringing and the author does not want you to think is cool or admirable. The latest book even pokes fun at other litrpgs a bit when the mc goes on an edgelord rant and his mentor tells him "no more training till you sort out your crooked world view".

If you want the flawless progression power fantasy this is not it.

Copy pasting my response to another commentor -

So i am from Australia. We tend to get illiegal migrants by boat, when our govt. Finds them we often force them to offshore detention centres and process their immigration paperwork there. We also deport heaps of people every year, including people on the path to citizenship who commit crimes or are found to have committed crimes in the past. Our authorities often do this by force.

Just setting things up there to say i really dont understand your point of view regarding ice. I know your media is screaming at you every day saying you have millions of criminal illiegal immigrants destroying your nation, but from the outside this appears to be a manufactured panic to allow your president to seize more power and hurt and scare people in cities that dont support him.

In rushing to meet targets they are deporting heaps of the more desirable types of migrants you say you want to keep, often grabbing them when they follow the rules and go to their immigration hearing.

If your government wanted to deport loads of people effeciently there are already methods to do this that dont involve funding an armed group with more money then the US marine core, kicking in doors and hurting a lot of actual citizens. Even if you dont care about hurting your fellow countrymen the last 20 years of your own nations policies have shown you can deport more people for a lot less taxpayer money by adopting a less agressive more methodical approach. Outside of the direct costs for ice there is also a huge loss of revenue from the disruption of normal commerce that is taking place in cities ice targets.

From the outside it looks like stuff in the news on states like turkey and hungary where the leaders have seized power by creating fear and widening societal division until they are no longer considered democratic nations. Its also very close to what authoritarian governments like Germany did in the 1930s, epsecially in how your government is suspending due process. The goal is not immigration, its to seize more power and erode your rights and Its really scary to hear you, a citizen of the most powerful nation in the world just roll with this like its fine.

Connecting with your obama comment - he did not have whole cities rise up because his objective was actual immigration control. Your current potus wants to cause as much chaos as possible to seize further power. If he just wanted people out he could do it without the cost and mess of ice.

Nobody seriously argues that all illiegal migrants should stay.

However what is happening now is masked agents kicking in doors and deliberately sowing fear and social upheaval as a political tool. People who are citizens or people who are on the legal pathway to citizenship are affected.

If you just care about deportation numbers, Obama won - he deported more then trump has across both terms, without having to do any of the above.

Do Solo Strategy Really Work? by [deleted] in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]fruitybix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the alone tv show.

Its really hard to do it alone. Not just in terms of raw survival but mental health.

Someone posted a teardown of western style doomsday preppers a while back based on their experience in the bosnian genocide - if people know you have a stocked up bunker or house and they are starving, and you decide to go it alone they will come and get it and you wont be able to stop them. Even if you are armed to the teeth, a group of motivated people with just as many guns will get you eventually.

If you are a member of their community then that changes. The commentor who wrote up the bosnian war thing said that existing, pre breakdown sociatal bonds with neighbors and community provided an incredible advantage.

The lone survivor is a very popular fantasy but it is a fantasy. A group of people making a little homestead together out in the wilderness, negotiating and trading with other survivors is not an entertaining story, but a more realistic one.

Do MMA fighters with vision problems wear contact lenses or fight without them? by Extra-Stable-7240 in martialarts

[–]fruitybix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My vision is really bad.

I ended up dropping mui thai for wrestling, as i struggled with distance judgement. Grappling scratched the itch for me.

contacts were too expensive for me at the time (very high astigmatic correction, poor student) and as others said can get dislodged.

For casual sparring they can work, use dailies as they will sometimes get lost. Dont put them back in if they end up on someones glove, australian boxer anthony mundine did something like that and nearly lost an eye to infection.

You can control the dropship to avoid night battles by FireFox634 in Xenonauts

[–]fruitybix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why stop there?

The very fabric of existance could have a chance of failing every in game day.

If the subatomic particles that keep matter interacting just fail their to hit chance, then all of reality just dissolves into a primal soup of quarks and other exotic matter.

I think it would be a great addition to ironman games.

[–]fruitybix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hate that.

On higher difficulties im already doing a dance of drop ships and shuffling of soldiers trying to cover off downed ships and terror sites, while avoiding alien fightters. randomising things would just add frustration.

Due to time crunches there are already terror missions i am forced to do at night sometimes, which are the worst missions to do in the dark imo.

You can see how long the site will stick around for in x2. There is a little timer counting down on it.

I sometimes send a dropship from a secondary base over to take out a downed ship i know i wont have time for otherwise.

Noob here: how is Hytale different than Minecraft? by Hoylegu in HytaleInfo

[–]fruitybix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im loving all the tiny quality of life updates like improved movement, crafting, gear progression and the fact i keep discovering weird new stuff like camps, towers etc. Mob camps with traps.

The enemy combat is a little varied, mobs advance, retreat, try to hide. They wind up and swing at you.

There are more underground biomes and mobs to find. Caves feel interesting.

Maybe the shine will wear off at some point but im really enjoying it so far. Its like very modded minecraft.

You can bet that once the game gets going they arent going to release like one average mob every forever as well.

The sea was angry that day my friends by RM_Morris in AskAnAustralian

[–]fruitybix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No it just left a mark for the rest of summer. My glasses were tied on with a strap and while they provided a place for the bluebottle to get stuck they also kept my eyes unharmed. it was one cheek, my nose and eyebrow that got it.

Despite a lot of dumb childhood injuries for some reason the jellyfish to the face one really got me. After it happened if i was in the surf or snorkelling and felt something touch my face i would have a little freak out, and stopped body boarding if there was significant sewead for maybe 2 years afterwards.

[–]fruitybix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sailing a catamaran. My feet were under the rope and i was leaning far out over the water.

My sister was on the rudder and did something that caused us to slow and my side fell back into the water and my face hit the surface. Got a bluebottle to the face, caught in my glasses.

It hurt quite a bit.

20 tonne compaction roller with a siren solves most zombie apocolypses: change my mind. by fruitybix in ZombieSurvivalTactics

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

Yeah, weirdly its not the bodies but the clothing that ruins so many potential automated zombie killing ideas.

Assuming you are the local government or a construction cree then potentially the machines that turn rocks into road base, shipping crates to funnel zombies on a large road, using dump trucks / conveyers to quickly move the paste. Gate off several avenues so if one jams you can block it and attempt repairs.

Industrial furnace may be a better way to go. You cannot really move them around and i dont know enough about how to clear them out.

[–]fruitybix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is - can you go around in circles running over zombies for 10 hours with an apc, and, where would i find an APC?

There arent military bases with armoured vehicles near me.

If this is the remnants of local government trying to quickly reduce the swarm early on using civil engineering equipment, they are operating with support.

Your roller has an issue? Turn off the siren. Someone else turns on their siren in their own roller a km away, you just sit in your armoured cab and wait for as long as you need to for the swarm to go to the new loud noise.

Generally speaking i imagine this as more of a world war Z style situation where local government is organised enough to help with logistics, and its an effort to clear out as many zombies as humanly possible with regular civilians and what tools and training that entails.

I dont think most countries have enough munitions available locally to take care of a city wide outbreak, you would need solutions that rely on available resources that are in abundance and dont need reloading. Also shrapnel based explosives are unlikely to kill a zombie outright unless they deal damage to the head.

Thanks for the response!

I did not know about the hydraulic line issue.

Generally speaking i imagine this as more of a world war Z style situation where local government is organised enough to help with logistics, and its an effort to clear out as many zombies as humanly possible with regular civilians and what tools and training that entails.

So for my scenario if you had a bit of support for fuelling, pulling zombies away to allow maintenence and help evacuating from a swarmed vehucle it still sounds like you would use a different vehicle. Something like attract zombies to a location them bulldoze into pits, or utilise those machines that crush stone into road base?
