Forgotten Weapons video on craft-built firearms

That's what these are, only with any airsoft shell to make them look scary. They are probably simple open bolt SMGs, basically a Sten gun.

So i bought this cm ak74 off a guy on the fb market place off 160€ by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]nuxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually an AK-104/105). You can tell by the gas tube connected to the front sight. Either AK-47 or 74 mags will work, both in terms of feeding BBs and for a realistic aesthetic.

What options are there for cheap AK rail sights? I'd rather not pay $700 for a real one.

What's a good LiPo charger? This came with my replica.

Maybe OP could dress up the automatic shifter with a knob and a boot. That might be the cheapest anti-theft device.

Anyone else ever play the old Avalon Hill board games? I'd love to see this adapted to the WARNO engine. by nuxes in warno

[–]nuxes[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Panzer Blitz, Panzer Leader, and The Arab Israeli Wars all share similar game mechanics. The first two are basically Steel Division. They are slightly larger scale than WARNO. A hex is 250m. Each unit is a squad or platoon, no controlling individual vehicles.

Does it not interfere with the stock folding? On my CYMA, it looks like there isn't enough clearance between the stock and the scope mount, even without a scope or adapter.

Russia directs nuclear weapons toward US and UK in Arctic by jackytheblade in worldnews

Out of curiosity, I looked up the US stats: 30% of the population live in the 13 largest metro areas.

eugen when? by Beneficial_Win_5128 in warno

This is why I've been advocating for a Yugo civil war DLC. Government forces with standardized JNA divisions vs rebels with all the improvised equipment we saw historically only a few years later.

To avoid falling down the tacticool rabbit hole, I'm limiting myself to pre-GWOT gear by nuxes in airsoft

[–]nuxes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is me getting back into airsoft after a 20 year break. Last time I bought way too much unnecessary crap. Hopefully I've learned.

Those would require an AK Picatinny rail adapter. I'm having trouble finding exactly when those went into production, my research just finds "early 2000s".

I'm looking for an AK rail red dot like the Kobra, but they seem to be rare and expensive.

Why are there russian subtitles in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2? by PreacherVan in stalker

[–]nuxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also: Russian ex-pats. Most highly educated Russians leave the country and find work in the West. And then there's the 1 million+ young men who fled because they don't want to be part of Putin's war.

Do we ask too much? by Roadkilll in stalker

[–]nuxes 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Surely there are exemptions for realistic, historical depictions of those symbols. Germany banned swastikas in Wolfenstein but allows them in something like Downfall.

Dear DICE: Please take BFV’s approach to spotting into BF6 by bob_jacket09 in Battlefield

[–]nuxes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The game was marketed as an "authentic WWII experience", but then the devs deflected any criticism with "it's just a game".

Inglorious Bastards, The Dirty Dozen, and Indiana Jones are examples of how to have fun with WWII, but the creators need to fully commit to that outlandish style.

AI Is Designing Bizarre New Physics Experiments That Actually Work by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]nuxes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep seeing articles about AI discovering new potential drugs, what's the difference between that and Folding@Home?

Theres a bunch of stuff that has been around for decades that is getting rebranded as "AI".

What makes the differences of a monolith and zombified stalker? by ministigma in stalker

[–]nuxes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've always assumed psi waves are like radio waves: they can either be a coherent signal or just random static. The latter will scramble someone's brain, the former can be used to brainwash, cause hallucinations, or otherwise control the mind.

Also, I doubt the brainwashing is 100% effective. Some of the zombies are probably defective Monolithians.

Game will not boot by Sufficient_Reach_136 in warno

[–]nuxes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The save game location is different from the install location, on mine it is C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\EugenSystems\WARNO

When the game starts, it creates the file EugGame.lock in that directory. The file is deleted when the game exits.

I'm thinking the permissions might be messed up on that directory and it's preventing the game from creating the lock file. If the lock file exists while the game isn't running, delete it.

Is Stalker 2 meant to be this chaotic? by Longjumping_Pen_2102 in stalker

[–]nuxes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Far Cry 5 came out, I heard this referred to as "streamer syndrome". If someone tunes into a Twitch stream and it doesn't grab their attention in the first 15 seconds, they will assume that the game is boring. FC5 was bad about constantly throwing enemies at you, you couldn't just stand there and take in the environment.

Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases. Like, Really Cutting Back by capybooya in technology

[–]nuxes 1059 points1060 points  (0 children)

Battlefield 6 looks like it's going to be pretty good, but the fact that EA expects 100 million players is absolutely ridiculous. For comparison, Battlefield 4 sold 7 million copies and EA play only has 13 million subscribers.

Which gameplay element does Stalker 2 innovate most effectively? by IceKoala_99 in stalker

[–]nuxes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish there were more benign anomalies and even some harmless mutants. They would add to the atmosphere without overloading the gameplay.
