@scoot P90?
-
@nerthos That's what he asked for, yeah. I'm glad you could tell
-
@nerthos hell yes.
-
@scoot Well it's a pretty singular weapon
-
@ceruleansquawk Good choice man. One of the best SMGs out there.
-
@commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese I wasn't going for cute. Did it turn out cute?
-
@nerthos I can't draw guns to save my life usually
-
@scoot Some guns can be awfully hard.
-
@nerthos I struggled with this one to be honest
-
@commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese Oh, well OK that's good. Cheers
-
@scoot Good job. :)
-
@nerthos I needed a weapon my character could fire out of the window of a moving vehicle, as well as actually shoot a person in combat with.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Thank you :)
-
@scoot It turned out well enough.
-
@ceruleansquawk I think you could actually build sort of a "tripod" for shooting a light repeating weapon from a car window without too much effort..
-
@nerthos Historically, most of the vehicles Serrio operated were...procured as required, rather than previously owned by him.
-
@ceruleansquawk Yeah I was not talking about a car-mounted tripod, rather a portable plaform to divert recoil to the frame of the car rather than to the firing hand.
-
@nerthos It wasn't always cars. Once it was actually a giant combat mech.
-
@ceruleansquawk Where do you steal one of those and why do you need to shoot your handgun from it.
-
@nerthos In that moment, I wasn't firing my gun out of it. I typically ran extraction and hacking/support. However, my team got ambushed and jumped by another combat mech, so I abandoned my post, stole another mech, and bought them the time to escape with an awesome mech battle.
-
@ceruleansquawk Some sort of sci-fi RPG?
-
@nerthos Dystopian near future structured furry RP. Freedom fighters against an oppressive world-government.
-
@ceruleansquawk Sounds like a literal description of a fantasy you.
-
@nerthos It essentially defined me and the fantasies I have.
-
@ceruleansquawk Oh, so I had the order wrong.
-
@nerthos Yeah. I was 12 or so when it all got started. Formative years, those.
-
@ceruleansquawk Indeed they are. Those years turned you into a furry, and turned me into a zealot.
-
@nerthos I could say it was a positive thing in my case.
-
@nerthos FURSECUTION
-
@ceruleansquawk Would you say it was a positive thing in your case?
-
@nerthos I learned computers, studied the works of Sun Tzu and Miyamoto Musashi, took up airsoft to get pseudo-combat experience among other things. I'd say yes
-
@ceruleansquawk what do Sun Tzu and Miyamoto Musashi write about?
-
@ceruleansquawk Well then we can say we were both dealt a good hand of cards. I wonder what would it take to have you as an ally. Even though I've talked to you regularly for nearing two years now, I still find you extremely complex. Probably the only guy on this site I can't just read.
-
@pony War. Strategy. Philosophy. They were some of the greatest military minds of the old world.
-
@pony Sun Tzu was the person behind the Art of War, written a long time ago but still studied by militaries all around the world as a guideline for tactics.
-
@pony Military Strategy and or Philosophy. A lot of what they wrote is still applicable to many modern situations, even if you're /not/ a samurai or military commander.
-
@nerthos I don't think we're enemies?
-
@ceruleansquawk @nerthos @flamingpandaomg I see. My only reading on the subject of military strategy and philosophy comes from the Book of Mormon. The Nephites resisted Lamanite genocide for about 800 years if I recall correctly, despite a much smaller population it would seem.
-
@ceruleansquawk Oh, we aren't. By any means. We both value the same basic concepts and principles, even if the way in which we act about them is completely different. But are we friends? I'd like to think so, but that's not an one-sided decision.
-
@pony My first readings on Sun Tzu's works were around the age of 7 I think.
-
@nerthos Friendship can be a one sided decision. For instance, someone can be your friend, even if you're not theirs.
-
@nerthos I think we are.
-
@thatonestocking Yes, but one-sided friendship usually doesn't end in anything better than a neutral outcome.
-
@ceruleansquawk Oh, good then. For once something said here means something to me.
-
@nerthos Did you just have peculiar tastes or was it read to you by an adult?
-
@pony Book that ended on my hands, book I read. I always loved military games too. I became familiar with The Art of War with the game Gunmetal, from 1998.
-
@nerthos sounds fun I suppose!
