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." 3 weeks 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…”

- Comment on Dying Light continues celebrating its 10th anniversary with a big graphical facelift, but don't you dare call it a remaster 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on YSK: WD-40 is perfect for removing adhesive left behind by stickers 2 months ago:
My go to for cleaning sticker residue off glass is wd-40 and a fresh razor blade. Works like a charm and is scratch free.

It’s true that capitalism has taken so much from us, but at least it’s given us smart phones and fart ham.
- Comment on Square Enix considered ending Final Fantasy 11 in 2024, but player interest was high enough to keep it alive even after 20+ years 3 months ago:
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.

I haven’t shot a 45-70 but I have a 35rem and have shot a breech load 450 bushmaster. It’ll put a little sting on you but it’s not that bad. Just make sure to keep the butt of the stick firm against your shoulder. I wouldn’t want more than 5 or 6 rounds at a time on the 450 though.

Ever used your eyes while driving? You’ve probably seen those car transport semis loaded up with new vehicles, transporting them to dealerships.

Yeah, that would have been great to have a tundra and jungle biome. Spawning patrol groups would have been cool, and having to defend FOBs periodically from attack or risk losing them. Ah, what could have been.

Infinite is no perfect game, but to me it felt like a great foundation for a game. I liked the open world aspect a lot, but it needed at least double the content in my opinion.

Awesome, thanks! You didn’t install a previous version did you? Apparently you can’t update to the current version due to the signature issue.
