There are also companies that make recoil simulation rigs for non-live-fire training. They typically take the form of replacement magazines with integrated solenoids. These would be a good choice for convincing recoil in movies to go with your CG muzzle emissions.

In total fairness... You’re sort of right.

I hate it when the stress of having a bunch of money for doing less work than an actual computer repairman confuses me and I accidentally defame and rob other businesses while lying to my customers! Starting tomorrow I’m really going to focus on self care.

Sometimes if you need to fire a blank for a scene you will use a prop gun that can be loaded with, and fire, a single round. Think like a 1700s muzzle loader cosplaying as a modern semi-auto, or the replica guns from the car scene in Snatch. That is, I believe, the kind of gun that killed Brandon Lee: the barrel was…

I guess murdering the whole planet IS technically acting as a change agent for our future?

I’m guessing this is because of Bethesda’s love of giant, uncompressed, frequently redundant textures, the inability of CE to optimize instantiated cells of content (this is what ruined New Vegas on console back in the day, and is the reason most locations from Skyrim on “Reset” after a couple days) and the industry’s…

The seatbelts almost certainly would have held on, and the compartment looks intact. The bigger issue IMO would be impact shocks traveling THROUGH you, along with the car. PROVIDED it didn’t do much freefalling during the drop, I imagine anyone buckled in would have lived, albeit completely traumatized, in a ton of…

Everyone knows the intelligent undead like to... Bone?

Is your build dead on arrival? Why not re-spook your skull points! Eh-hehehehehehe!

Me, a divorced dad with no possessions left but my Jeep Renegade:

I think it’s like the idiomatic term of endearment “old boy,” which is what friends at the school the principles all attend called themselves. I THINK?

Taken is leaning on some pretty specific talking points that were big in France at the time it was made. IMO the real power fantasy is a violent American tough guy coming in and “fixing” the criminal immigrant problem that the lame dog French government is too sissified to take care of.

I would imagine that in the long term most used EVs will be factory reconditioned with new batteries, not untouched off used lots someplace.

IIRC Best of the Best was based (loosely) on a true story, then received at least one fully fictional sequel. 

Taken is weird because it’s very transparent hard-right xenophobia porn, but American ignorance of the cultural issues at play in France kind of made it just come across as a regular old crime thriller in the US.

It must be so wild to be a veteran at Mitsubishi

None of this is to say you are WRONG per se - ideally leveling up should feel meaningfully stronger, and in games with heavy level-matching it can feel more like you’re just earning some kind of hero-ing license. Right now, D4 is kind of weak on endgame content, which is why it’s so weird they are still attached to…

• Higher character levels result in higher ilevel gear dropping, which bumps your performance higher than the stat increases from level alone. This can include gear with new affixes that are required to specific target playstyles, or for hitting breakpoints and maxing out, say, lucky hit chance. For instance there’s a…

I trace that to them merging with Renault, not realizing that Renault’s primary business model was vehicles that burn themselves to cinders and hardcore fincrime.
