  • I wasn't aware there was a wrong shade of brown, tan, or green.

  • It's on a LaRue riser which has an arm that sticks forward. The LPVO's mount is fully secured to it. In the original discussion a seemingly infinite amount of Boomers didn't know this and without doing even a second of research or thought began to confidently post about how stupid it was to mount an optic hanging halfway off a riser.

    For history, here's Delta using the exact same riser:

  • You've never seen an optic mounted on an M4 that still has the front sight block in place?

  • Am I going to have to sit through an unreasonable amount of jiggling tits?

    No not at all. The only boob jiggle type moment I can think of happens many episodes in and lasts about 5 seconds. Default throughout the show you aren't getting constant creepshot angles or focus on fanservice. The show is, more or less, of a wholesome tone that sometimes dips into some series moments. There is a catgirl later on, but she's actually like cat-girl with an emphasis on cat like behavior and is a good character who is dressed slightly lighter than everyone else but nothing you'd think twice of seeing.

    The show is good. Developed characters and episode to episode they are usually focused on problem solving whatever is in their way to get to the next step for their overall goal.

  • If you have black coffee either because you're out of creamer or doing a non-diary thing, sprinkling a tiny bit of salt into the coffee will take the bitterness out of it without tasting salty.

    Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • I've been playing Dagger Directive, which isn't an old game but you wouldn't know that by looking at it. It's an intentional throwback to the original Delta Force games. I bought it on some sort of early sale, but even full price it's only $20.

    If you like the original Delta Force or Ghost Recon games, this has a similar vibe with missions where you can select the time of day to start, and are then dropped in wide open maps. I've been having a lot of fun turning the HUD off and playing night missions. The game takes into account how night vision goggles interfere with looking down sights, which in turn makes things like IR lasers and dedicated night vision scopes useful. I've seen community complaints (some of them more recent than the newest AI update) that suppressors don't do anything regarding enemy AI, but I've had a lot of success with them and think people might be having wrong expectations on how silent the guns are going to be and/or how oblivious enemies are going to be.

    The weapon selection is fairly good and getting expanded with updates. The scope system gets some flack, but it is an intentional recreation of the Delta Force scope system.

    For the most part I'm ambivalent about it, although now that red dots have been added to the equipment they use the same picture-in-picture window that magnified scopes do, which makes red dots actually kind of useless for close range fast paced fighting (which is the entire IRL point of them), and I'd actually recommend using no attachments or using an IR laser with night vision instead of using a red dot in the game.

    The sound design sneaks up on you. Things will be quiet and boring one second, and then your audio is filled with terrifying cracks and whistles of gunfire as an enemy machinegun ambushes you the next.

  • Splinter Cell series - Chaos Theory, Conviction, and Blacklist

    Jump

  • Gameplaywise, Blacklist is okay. It does fall into the game design trap of allowing players to go through levels with variety of approaches, including guns blazing in many cases, and it often has scripted sequences and setpieces that are combat heavy which dilutes the intent of the original games.

    Yes, the new voice and younger look for Sam is jarring and never stops being jarring.
