it came out at a good time with the whole dudebro 360 thing in full effect while being a good coop game and marketed to hell and back. right place, right time.

$350 for rent with free water
$100 for gas and electric
$70 for internet and cellphone
$200 for car insurance
$22 for life insurance
$100-150 for groceries and other repeated costs
health insurance is covered by my employer.

think thats everything.

tactically not very sound to be out there posing with guns, but the whole "they wernt even on their property" is hilarious.

If the combat is kind of lackluster, then why is his game so hailed?

because everything outside of that tends to range between good to incredible. its world design, especially in relation to its story and quests is probably the best seen in a game so far.

its decent for what it is, but its big fault is that theres just not much to it so what you see in the first 10hours is basically what youll be seeing for the next 100hours which can make it seem overly repetitive and tedious.

irony at its finest.

if you didnt think REmake 2 was worth 60 then 3 sure as hell isnt either. its a 4-5hour game with no branching paths or campaigns. for what it is its good (despite butchering a lot of aspects of the original), but i personally wouldnt spend more than $15-20 for it.

i really dont get some of the responses here. just because the guy got killed doesnt magically stop him from being a "good guy with a gun" nor does stop him from being a hero who potentially saved a lot of lives for his own.

this is something that IS taught (or explained) in most CCW classes and most know the risks over. if you want to roll those dice then its on you. i also dont like the (ironic) defending of the police here either whos first line of thought was to start blasting. thats not how the training used to be.

guns are icky so 0.

ok so it sounds like its a far less prominent event compared to gun violence and something we dont really have much control over so lets get back to the topic at hand

i was responding to another post and having another conversation with someone else in regards to shootings. this whole topic is disingenuous to begin with.

You sure about that? It looks like lightning kills about 41 people in the US annually.

hit, not kills. lightning strikes something like 500 people a year. 10% of those die from it.

Sarcasthma posted...

I think she's talking about gun-related homicides, not just mass shootings.

which is also not something id worry about in terms of winding up shot unless youve grieved someone or are in a gang. almost all firearm homicides are from individuals who know each other. domestic issues, gang/drug warfare ect. worse case scenario you might end up as collateral, but even then thats probably even a lower statistic than the lightning one.

2 people shot is also not considered a mass shooting.

I get anxiety even going out in public here anymore. I've seen countries put travel advisories up for the US due to our political violence and gun violence. It's really sad what's going on in this shit hole country.

which is rather unfortunate considering the statistical likelihood of you actually getting killed in a indiscriminate mass shooting. its somewhere on par with getting hit by lightning.

$200/hr or bust.

generally speaking...
REmake 1 is the best representation of the classic design. if you want more atmosphere, puzzles, item management and in general a lot more systems within the design to keep track of (kinda like a more involved old school adventure game). 4 is where the action took center stage and for the most part is the one that excels the best in it while also still keeping certain aspects of the older ones though putting them more on the back burner in comparison. 7 does a mixture of both while doin gits own thing like combining the first person view with a more "modern" horror take. REmake 2 is kinda similar in that regard as far as combining old aspects with modern controls while pulling them off (imo) better than 7, but REmake 2 isnt as self contained story wise as 7 is so maybe not as quite as noob friendly.

starting at one of those 3 points tends to be ideal depending on what you want more of. they tend to be self conatined enough and expanding on the next games in the series (like 8 playing off of 7 more, REmake 2 and 3 off of REmake 1, 5 and 6 off of 4 ect. rather than having any huge connections to much older titles in the series) that you also dont need to know too much of whats come before.

eh. its alright for what it is, but its got a lot of issues and nitpick shit going on in it.

i actualy really liked that section, but whole hell was it a bitch on madhouse.

People who carries guns everywhere are also more likely to have paranoia. Because someone without paranoia doesn't need a gun in Starbucks.

caution =/= paranoia.

Ive always wanted to get a revolver chambered in .45, but Ive never seen one for less than like $1,200. Even at gun shows. I also would like one of those fixed-cylinder revolvers like they used in the western movies.

SAA clones still go for $500-700. Look for an Uberti. they make nice period piece ones or Ruger if you want something a little more modern.

i like guns

looks like a heritage. nice little guns for the money. i own 3 SA's my self.

just make sure ya check on the neighbors if you have to use it.

even if he was going for a gun or even had the gun in his hand, it was still a very easily controlled situation that didnt need to end like that. how much damage did they think a drugged out individual with his hands cuffed behind him while getting dogpilled was going to do?

asuming those are the remakes, 2 by a long shot. but you should try REmake 1 to actually see what the series is about.

1 had better atmosphere, writing and story. 2 had better gameplay. 2 is the one i always replay.

i dont really worry about it. those who are out and about who either open carry or conceal carry tend to atleast somewhat know the score of what they are doing and what could come of it.

the most iv ever felt unsafe around people with guns were at public ranges where they might feel like they have free range to do a lot of stupid shit.

what someone might want (and i say that very loosely) and what they can actually get away with are very different things.

depends heavily on a lot of factors. if youre smart you could live the rest of your life on that, especialy with investing, but you arnt going to be living the high life with sports cars and mansions especially if you also have a family to provide for. atleast not without other large sources of income.

sucks gettin old.

im assuming youd like a snub nose. not really cheap, but i really like the Kimber K6s' and of course smith and wesson makes a lot of nice ones with some class to them and S&W carries a lot of collect-ability. the Ruger LCR is probably the best carry revolver on the market if you wanted to do so and their sp101's, while not particularly fancy are little tanks if you wanted a rugged woods gun. if its something youre not going to be putting thousands of rounds through and dont want to break the bank then maybe look to taurus like their 605's.

that can be anywhere from 30k to 700k here depending on location and amount of land.

i dunno, i see some pits in there...

not as unique as the first, but iv always proffered over 1.

cant remember fully all of his motivations through awakening and 2, but i do remember thinking he was a serious asshole at that point.

mechanically 4 is better and its story doesnt burn out half way through (tho 3's has a stronger first half). i liked 3's setting more though.

If not us then someone else with other real power will. Id like to think the US is preferable over Russia or China in that regard. Most likely youd also be talking about less bill fitting to NATO and protections which would also force most countries to pay more for defense which means less money to go into those contries social systems (which would most likely mean a dip in QoL).

depends on how much it is really. if its like 1 or 2million id rather keep it to my self and maybe very close family. if it was a lot more then id branch it out to more extended family and charities.

eitherway id rather not announce it to the world.

eh, it was alright. they neutered the zombies. nemesis was a joke and didnt feel as threatening or persistent and they fucked up the drops as well. they cut atleast 1-2hours worth of content. the alternate scenarios went bye bye. and they pulled the forced progression that many action games do now and lock you out of areas (the original had a few points of no return, btu nothing like the remake).

If I ever bought a gun for myself it would be something for self defense only like maybe a .50 cal desert eagle handgun

I would not stake my life on a desert eagle. they are pretty shitty guns.

few deer.

Everything Ive seen is that the Glock 19 is like the holy pistol of reliability and quality.

Plenty of people said its 100% fine to shoot right out of the box and the factory grease is fine to leave alone and start shooting.

reliability is good as long as the magazines and ammo hold up (glock produced magazines are notoriously reliable though). id personally take it apart and clean it just because a lot of factory grease tends to be thicker in order to keep the gun from rusting while just sitting around waiting to be sold. it can lead to the gun being gunked up faster through carbon residue (from the ammunition) build up. they are reliable, but like anything else you get enough residue built up and it will jam.

"quality" is pretty subjective though. their good middle of the road utility guns for what they are, but do tend to be over priced in comparison to a lot of other stuff out there due to glock having a reputation (kinda like Colts).

have at it, hoss

huh

those are the newest entrys (assuming those are the remakes) so i wouldnt really say its that odd. 4 is fine on pc, but be preparred from some wonky controls in this day and age that will take some getting used to. while youre at it also check out REmake 1.

I like how you intentionally came up with the dumbest weapon because you knew your point was weak

weapons tend to come down to the actual individual and their surroundings. most likely melee or short range focused. bats, knives, maybe pepper spray ect. those types of things can work, but they can also carry with them more issues in needing to be close to a target or in the case of something like mace or pepper spray in closed i areas can end up hurting you as well or even have those items taken from you easier than a gun.

you also might be able to handle that, but others might not be able to. can a 90lbs woman swing a bat around properly to detter a 200lb man? what if theres more than one individual? (iv heard something like 30% of home invasions have more than one intruder). What if someone is more elderly, has arthritis, is handicapped or injured in some way?

and while problems can still arise regardless when you get down to it there is nothing else, but a gun that eliminates as many unknown factors within the moment as possible.

how about make it illegal for jackasses to buy guns same day at a gun show? or hold gun sellers responsible for guns they sell without proper background checks that are later used in crimes?

im assuming youre referring to universal background checks. there are studies out there that show that they either dont work or have very minimal effect. largely because its a unenforceable law with no real way to keep track of anything due to no federal registration. but even then that would only be use dot trace the firearm back after it has been used in a crime. licensed FFL dealers have to do a background check before selling a gun even in states where private sales are legal. this includes at gun shows. if they just sell them without one that is already illegal.

If this is primarily going to be for video editing with some light gaming on the side then id invest in two things, a really good CPU (the more cores, the better) and plenty of ram (32gb MINIMUM). As time goes on the cpu tends to be one of the more harder things to upgrade in a pc since motherboards tend to phase out older cpu chips (which means instead of just upgrading the cpu you might have to upgrade the motherboard as well which might even mean the RAM too. it can get expensive). this is less of an issue with the pc's other components. so because of that its best to get the best cpu you can afford so you dont have to deal with that issue as quickly down the line. hard drives are also going to be a big thing, but those tend to be cheap enough that you can just add more down the line as you see fit and delete stuff you dont need. a quality power supply is important too, but $100-150 will get you a really good one that will power what you need.

the other parts you obviously dont want to skimp out on too heavily, but you can get by on more middle of the road stuff and upgrade as you go along. with the way gpu prices are going id get something fairly "cheap" (like a 1660 [if you can find them for $300] and wait for the prices to come back down on something more tangible (like the 3060, 3070, 3080's ect. which are currently going for about double than what they should be).

because of covid causing everyone to stay inside and play pc games (making many of them go out and buy new gpus) and because bitcoin miners are assholes who buy them all up for greed, gpu prices have gone through the roof. because of that it might be cheaper to get a prebuilt since those companys who do prebuilds usually get a discount on bulk orders and can afford the prices they sell them at.

if gpu prices wernt going to shit then it would be cheaper 99% of the time to build it your self. outside of the graphics cards most other parts are cheaper, its just unfortunate the one peice of hardware that isnt also tends to be the most important and most expensive part in a gaming pc.

that said id still build it your self if youre willing. you will get the exact parts you want and wil know what goes into building it which can be beneficial for tweeking or upgrading down the line. some companys tend to frown upon that stuff and might even void warranties.

of course not. guns are icky.
