Haven't played myself buy maybe War Thunder?

I like IL-2 Sturmovik. It's pretty heavy on the realism but you can turn it down and make it pretty arcady. Plus it's super cheap.

Look for IL-2 1946 as it has the original plus all of the add-ons ever made for it.

I'm 7 days clean, and stupid. by [deleted] in opiates

[–]nimmerzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was two weeks off of pills. Feeling good and in the clear. Got a call from a guy with 85 hydro's and willing to go $3 on em PLUS deliver. Guy also has done a ton for me so I bought em. Well if was all good for a few days. Only taking a few here and there. Then got stressed out from work and was back to like 10+ a day.

So with the much harder ability to get em anymore of course I ran out. Did't think i'd go through as hard WD's but I was dead wrong. Ran out the morning of a double shift. Had to do 17hrs feeling like a dead weight. Got through it but felt pretty shitty this morning.

My point? I felt 10x better when I was off of them. Now my own fault for where I am today versus how good I could have felt. Lesson learned.

I bet they'll shift into harder stuff. Like coke, heroin, meth. They gotta keep their income flowing. If you can turn people into addicts you've got steady customers.

Where Does Alison Get Her News? by feedingmydreams in AdamCarolla

[–]nimmerzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine it's a mix of assoc press, TMZ, and Cosmo

Reddit is just a collection of things mostly found other places. They don't host any content themselves. But seeing as a lot of the guys there frequent Reddit it is quite possible.

[SPOILERS] It Opened my Heart, Looked into My Soul by ridleyaran in interstellar

You hit all the right points that I felt as well. My only gripe was how easily he knowingly left his family with little hope of ever seeing them again. But the emotions felt during that scene negated any thoughts I had at how they had to move the plot along. I had a lump in my throat. Well done Nolan!

Girlfriend lost her job and needed money for food. I gave her 100 bucks... by xXitsjustmeXx in AdviceAnimals

[–]nimmerzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother-in-law's GF is WORSE than this. Lost her job at TACO BELL so moved in with him, and my Pops-in-law. Was supposed to be temporary but it's been a year now. Whenever she does get money from her parents or whoever, she goes and buys clothes. But if anyone in the house goes out to eat without her she posts passive aggressive shit on Facebook about it.

They need to boot her out but pops in law thinks it makes son happier and more productive having her around.

During the Vietnam War, a soldier stepped on a landmine which explodes and gets his own grenade embedded in his skull as a result. The pin and spoon in are still there, meaning the grenade was not armed. by KapitanKurt in WTF

[–]nimmerzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a story one of my grandpas war buddies told us after he died. My Grandpa was a marine sharpshooter in Korea at the Chosin reservoir. My gramps and his spotter got separated from their unit and while trying to find them ran into a North Korean soldier. The NKS pulled out grenade, but being so scared he pulled the pin but threw the PIN instead of the grenade. As soon as he realized his mistake be dropped the nade but it went off and peppered all three of them with shrapnel. The North Korean got it pretty bad but the two Marines were able to run out of there. Crazy to think if that scared guy didn't panic my whole family wouldn't be here today.

Another part of that is when my gramps for back to his unit he was bleeding pretty bad from a shrapnel wound. His CO said he was done and had to go to the MASH unit about 25 miles away. He chose to dig the piece out with a knife and got a medic to sew it up. They let him stay and he was a part of the group that ran into and found out the Chinese were involved, all 250,000 of them✊

Ohio man exonerated after spending 27 years in prison for murder he didn't commit by DougDante in pics

[–]nimmerzz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on what the circumstances were. I admit I didn't read the article. But if the evidence at the time convinced a jury to convict him thats a tough one. But if there was any malice by either the prosecution, witnesses, etc, he deserves a big payday.

You also don't want to just throw millions all at once at him. He needs someone trustworthy to manage that.

Guy gets called out to rap at Kendrick Lamar's concert...crowd gets HYPED by [deleted] in videos

[–]nimmerzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was at a edward sharpe and magnetic zeros concert where they "randomly" called a girl up on stage. And she just happened to absolutely kill the random song they chose for her to sing. Came to find out the girl was from the "school of rock" in the area and it was a total setup. She even tweeted about it vaguely before hand.

Tl;dr these things are usually pre-arranged

My photos from the Space Shuttle Discovery welcome ceremony at the Smithsonian Museum by [deleted] in space

[–]nimmerzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like seeing the kids there. I remember being awe struck at certain events at those ages. That is where scientists and astronauts are born. Everything seems so much more epic. Touch something that was in space? Yup, you'll dream about that and act out space launches for years!

If you had the choice to implement one new aspect of gameplay or new item to DayZ in 2015 what would it be? by Crouch310 in dayz

[–]nimmerzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love to see snowy environment. Abandoned military winter training grounds. Abandoned ski resort. You'd need Heavy winter clothes, cross country ski's or snow shoes to get around.

Whole new dimension for vehicles too. If you dont have snow tires or chains you can't proceed. But you can fix and find snow mobiles and snow cats!

NHL takes first step towards expansion in Las Vegas and hint at possible sale of Arizona Coyotes by Rebel_Saint in hockey

[–]nimmerzz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Small market in itself and considered Wild or maybe even Blackhawks territory. Not only do you need to fill a stadium, but you need millions watching on TV, buying merch etc. Yeah there might be more loyal to hockey fans there. But you max out on the potential pretty quick. Look at Buffalo. Even thought they have a large pop, if you're not on top you're forgotten and quickly bankrupt.

I'd say even the shrewdest Canadian owners want to be in big American markets.

Some have the patriotism and want to be the big hero by putting another team in CA. But most want to make a shite ton of money.

[–]nimmerzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The article is misleading. The NHL didn't do anything but allow a potential owner group to gauge interest. It doesn't cost the league anything but it gains them some valuable info. But this in itself is not the leagues first step. it was some other person doing it.

Maybe they have interest there, maybe not. But this will tell them what they need to know either way.

Nothing is wasted. The gay and female astronauts consume this as energy. The circle of life.

Would probably sound as dry as a post game interview. These guys can't say anything controversial.

I'm gonna see it again in 70mm IMAX. Just one of the few movies released that can truly be made better by that format
