I get that, and I’m sure there’s a fair bit of LARPers out there with their tacticool gear just itching for a reason to use it.

But the highest gun violence in this country is done by handguns, and now we have glock modifications that make them fully automatic that anyone can buy off what is essentially Etsy. Are we going after assault weapons because they’re an easier target than semiauto pistols and trying to make some headway against the gun lobby, or are they just the big bad right now because of our profoundly sick society.

Not saying most people should own one, but the AR platform has value in that it relatively cheap, fully modular, and has a variety of uses. I know it’s a sour subject, but objectively it’s a great tool.

Try it over ice with a quarter lime and a dash of salt, you’ll wonder why you hadn’t been doing it all along.

LDAP, maybe? And you can share printers in Linux as well… as long as you have drivers.

Why is that? The first time I noticed it was a few years ago. I know some circles think that not-gun-people thought AR=Assault Rifle, which maybe some did, but why the inaccurate blanket statement? Also, shouldn’t we be going after handguns since they’re used 4-5x as much for gun deaths in the US? I just don’t get it.

The terminology isn’t arbitrary, and the story was about a teacher getting shot (with a pistol) and the legal battle going on with her claim. But good job on the emotionally charged comment. If we wanted ban all diesel trucks to help the environment, would we picket with signs that say ban leaded gasoline? That would make us look ignorant, right?

I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but assault rifles have been illegal for decades. I live in Texas, have many friends with literal armories, and have had a range membership - I have never in my life seen an assault rifle outside of active duty. Not once. Not at a gun show, not in a private collection, not even from my crazy libertarian prepper friend that takes his bug out bag everywhere he goes.

This media craze about assault rifles/weapons is the epitome of a strawman.

For all the haters: assault rilfe, military firearm that is chambered for ammunition of reduced size or propellant charge and that has the capacity to switch between semiautomatic and fully automatic fire. Source

Origins was a masterpiece, they changed the formula wildly for the other games in the series - if j remember right I think the second one was more ARPG/Isometric

If you haven’t tried Dragon Age: Origins, I’d go for that. Nexusmods has Spanish conversion mods and it’s a great balance of RP and turn-based combat.

If you don’t like Souls games, DO NOT get Sekiro. It is the most intense, unforgiving of them all. You’d be better off with Elden Ring.

Fantastic game, put way too many hours into that one. There’s a bit of artificial difficulty at the end, and you may want to mod the drops so you won’t have to grind as bad for builds, but it’s one of my all time favorite and I play the same stuff as you.

I only remember a few fetch quests, but it’s not heavy into the RP element as much as the others. It’s mostly about fighting monsters, kind of a dark souls like game that’s fun with other people. The story was pretty typical JRPG.

Stone Trek: Strange New Dwarves

Right there with ya. Off the (dusty) shelf sound effects, unintentionally low bitrate music, overall poor sampling and processing can make me hate a game. Can have the best 3D in the world but if it has 2D audio I’m out.
