TROPHY CASE

My first real experience in Zed land was a doozie! by SnacklePopin dayz

Also, pop smoke. Toss a smoke grenade near your friend to screw up any follow-up shots.

So I found a Satchel Charge? Is this new? by Zhoirin dayz

Load up the editor, spawn a tank, and go blow stuff up.

Clever.

True dat. I have participated in some freaking amazing ambushes in my day.

M136. Also called an AT4. I belive the Hydra rockets are folding fin aerial rockets for one of the helicopters.

It would be nice to be able to attract zombies with a gunshot then hide or re-position.

And yeah, I too would like to see some kind of limit on pursuit.

Cars in Dayz, lets pool together all knowledge about them. by mxrulez731in dayz

Vehicle crashes have always been pretty unforgiving in ARMA. Though in OFP they were just brutal. Which is to say relatively realistic. Hit something going 20mph and your car is probably totaled.

The future for many graduates that colleges never tell you about. by Mind_Virusin occupywallstreet

Because I've been having this same debate for... five years now? And it doesn't go anywhere. No one here has the power to influence a move from a money economy to a resource economy. Few people can even grasp that other economies are hypothetically possible. I'm tired and fed up. I'm sure Cory Doctorow or someone has written a nice monograph on the possibility of a just-in-time resource based economy utilizing modern technology and automation.

What are your thoughts on disabling nameplates altogether? by Zeliusin dayz

[–]FrankManic 3 points4 points ago

I'd like them available at extremely close range, less than 2m, but no further.

Less depressing: By wearing the crazy old man suits you are ensuring that some portion of those crazy old men lives on, extending a sort of sartorial immortality to strangers you never even knew.

You look like baby deer are going to walk up and start nuzzling your hand while birds break out into song.

"Leaked" Copernicus Racial Screenshots by Bossnerin Games

Agreed, and WoW is deliberately lo-fi for maximum compatibility with as many systems as possible.

Personally, I think of this style as WoW. The goofy, oversized cartoon characters with ridiculous proportions and huge shoulder plates? WoW all over the place.

Wow. They are freebasing the WoW pretty hard, there.

If you were put in charge of trimming Earth's human population down to 3 billion or so, what would your criteria be for who stays and who goes? by Clayburnin AskReddit

They have 1.4 billion potential players. If they can't find one Mario Party whiz it's their own damn fault.

It's a meme. People hate France because everyone hates France. But they don't hate France the place that actually exists, they hate France the stereotype that everyone hates. It's a contagious, self propagating idea that spreads through English speaking non-French populations.

If you gave me unlimited power to shape the world in the image I choose you bet your ass I'd abuse it.

In order

  1. Nazis

  2. Politicians

  3. Some senior religious authorities. Mostly the ones who strike me as regressive shitstains on the sheet of humanity.

  4. Everyone above middle management rank in the financial and arms industries.

  5. Everyone making more than 150k a year at Monsanto

  6. The entire John Birch society, and similarly fucking ridiculous organizations the world over.

  7. Billionaires.

  8. Then I'd just start picking people off based on arbitrary criteria until we hit the number. I'd probably also blatantly indulge my biases and keep people I found attractive or whose ideologies I like. When you're killing off more than fifty percent of the population there's no point pretending that any scheme you can come up with would be 'fair'.

It was convenient for the Christian nobility. Need to do some trade? Here is a group of people, some of whom are merchants and have had international trade since before Rome went to shit. Need a loan? Make it illegal for them to do much of anything except trade and lend money.

Don't feel like paying back on your loans? Kill all the Jews in the neighborhood.

Can we all agree the fall damage is excessive and poorly thought out? by Sloiin dayz

[–]FrankManic 2 points3 points ago

I wish I had a Mosin. I need a good spear in this game, and I've heard a rumor that you can shoot bullets out of them in a pinch.

A magazine holds ammunition in a firearm. A clip is a piece of metal that holds several rounds of ammunition together to make them easier to load into a magazine. Most modern firearms have detachable magazines. You load rounds into the magazine and then load the magazine into your rifle or pistol.

Many older weapons have a fixed magazine. For instance the familiar M1 Garand has a fixed magazine, inside the rifle. The magazine is loaded using clips of ammunition.

You can also use clips to rapidly load detachable magazines. It's faster than loading rounds one at a time with your hands.

It's like someone running around calling gasoline 'motor oil'. Sure, they both go in the car, but they're not the same thing.
