So I don’t think I’ve played any of the SMT games, but I enjoyed Persona 2 and 3 a lot, are they unique enough from Persona worth exploring?

A rifle is for long range, a pistol for close, and a knife/baton for arms reach. Why you may need all three depends on your situation. If you have a yard, a handgun is going to be difficult to safely use at anywhere beyond 25 meters for most people, so that’s where the rifle comes in. If they are at your door or in your house, that’s what the pistol/shotgun are for, with a knfie or baton as a backup. You do not want to be shooting a rifle inside your house. The noise will be horrendous, and the bullets will over penetrate through targets and the walls behind them. As far as a proper rifle goes, your best bet is an AR15 for a few reasons. They are cheap, readily available, have a plethora of customization options, and most importantly are generally extremely reliable. Another option worth considering is a pistol caliber carbine. This is a rifle length setup chambered in pistol rounds, which reduces recoil and ammunition cost, and if you can use the same ammunition as your pistol. If done properly, you can even interchange the magazines between pistol and rifle. A baton is fantastic to keep on hand because you are less likely to get a major injury if you mishandle it. Any questions let me know!

It’s all good. it’s not like I’m -trying- to sound edgy or anything.

Okay? I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t have a response when they tap my knee. I did when I was a kid, but I didn’t like that it was out of my control. Like I said, I -think- that’s what is happening, but I don’t know. Thanks for being an ass though.

I’m just so much an obstinate that I subconciously block the response I think. Started doing it as a kid to fuck with doctors and that’s just how it is. If I practiced I could probably get over the mental block, but doesn’t seem like I’m missing anything.

I know the anecdotes get thrown aro&nd all the time, but I needed to backup about 40gbs off my wifes phone, so I connected it to her laptop USB 3.0, started the transfer after constantly waiting on things like the start menu and file browser to load, and it sits for awhile before eventually informing me it would take 3.5 hrs. I check up on it 30 minutes later and it had gone to standby because it’s not like it was doing anything, right? After eaiting for Settings to load and turning off power saver, I leave it be. Come back an hour later and it says that the storage was full, which is news to me because there is over a terrabyte of storage available. That’s when I realized that by putting the folder on the desktop while I transferred it with the intentions of organizing it later, I wasn’t putting it on the device at all, but uploading it to Onedrive, which filled up and stopped the transfer. This stuff was already backed up on to her Onedrive, I just wanted a local backup. So, I connected her phone to my linux machine and had it done in 20 minutes. What a complete waste of time.

For what it’s worth, only one player needs the DLC for everybody in the session to use it, which is pretty cool of the devs to allow that in this day and age.

Alan Wake and some other Remedy games are on the Steam Autumn sale for cheap if anyone is interested. And good stuff Atticus, I really enjoyed my playthrough. I think they did a great job with it. I appreciate the added depth to Cloud over the original.

I don’t know the last time I cared so little about the characters in a film. There were a couple of solid scenes but they couldn’t save it. I was genuinely happy when it was finally over.

This is my perspective as an American looking in. In other languages there may be terminology used for these items that do not reference firearms.
- Comment on "ok, imagine a gun." 6 months ago:
I’ll try and explain, but let me know if you don’t follow. In the US it’s common to claim the front passenger seat by saying “I call shotgun!” or simply “Shotgun!” The commenter is playing on a now common refrain where Americans use firearms and terminology to describe basic things. As far as I can tell, it’s true. For example: caulk gun, staple gun, nail gun, glue gun, tattoo gun, finger guns, ot phrases like “I’ll think about it before I pull the trigger on it.” Or “Shoot me your email and I’ll get you those photos.”
I don’t know how prolific this type of thing is in other countries though, so I can only assume we Americans arr outliers due to how deeply ingrained guns are in our culture. Hope this clarifies things a bit, let me know if not.
TLDR: Americans describing so many things: “So imagine a gun, but…”

RoboCop Rogue City here. Picked it up on sale and have really been enjoying it. They did a great job of capturing the atmosphere of in universe Detroit, and made it feel like you are playing RoboCop. No diving behind cover, no massive arsenal, not even a crouch. The story line is solid, and the gameplay moves along nicely, which unlocks, skill upgrades, etc scattered throughout. 9/10

Personally I wouldn’t say the 2nd was terrible. The first was a better game, but it was helped significantly by free post release updates, which DL2 has gotten a lot of a well. I was pretty impressed with the depth of the city and I like the slow infection aspect. I really miss having a vehicle, but if I remember correctly, there wasn’t a vehicle in the first one at launch and it was added later. Just my 2 cents.

Same. I spent about three months deep in the game, and then I realized how steep the grind was and stopped playing it. It was neat though, so it would be fun to check it out again and see what has changed in over 20 years.
