They even kept the year, so uncreative

They just feel confident in their progress timeline, given recent events.

Saudi Arabia-owned Scopely Inc.

Are they buying it for the business opportunity or the massive amounts of geolocation data to assist in kidnapping and murdering women and dissidents around the world?

Rumors are that, aside from being a major engine overhaul, they’re looking to do a soft reset for R6Siege to attract new users reset their monetization scheme

This saga has been a ride so far. There is no way this guy is mentally stable at this point, he is going to do anything and spend every dime he has until he’s either found it or he brushes his teeth with a .38.

Harrison Ford has had more than one aviation incident IIRC.

I wouldn’t say “super easy.” It’s certainly in the realm of what’s possible for a normal person who is good with their hands, but that’s not everyone. A lot of people seem to conflate “possible” with “really simple” when it comes to handicrafts like this.

The powder in particular is quite tricky to do well.

Black powder firearms also do not require any paperwork, except in New Jersey. Can have them shipped to residential addresses too. They are occasionally bought by convicted felons who want to defend themselves but cannot possess regulated firearms.

I recommend .44 caliber cap and ball revolvers of the “Remington 1858” design. More robust than the Colts and the .44 is more effective than the smaller calibers in this case.

EDIT: You won’t be looking to spend top dollar for actual antiques, if that wasn’t clear. Modern functioning replicas, mostly made in Italy by Pietta or Uberti, are both available and reasonably priced.

If one needed gasoline in a pinch they could look in suburban backyard sheds for the fuel cans people use for their lawn equipment. Most often secured by easily defeatable padlocks or nothing at all.

There’s not just no money in it, they see incentive in killing their old products thoroughly in order to better sell their new ones.

Maybe buy a printer off the used market with cash, print a large amount to last you a while, then sell the printer off again. You would have to manage your stock of flyers as a sort of contraband i.e. hide them, but that’s probably more convenient than “tainting” your personal printer and having that risk laying around your home.

If you do end up participating, printer steganography is something to be aware of. I never knew about this till fairly recently, and I think it was a comment here that informed me.

This is going to turn into a nationwide pogrom at a rapid pace. Keep your powder dry.

Read an anecdote of someone in a similar station who had a client file a complaint against them because their watch was too nice. See, he’s the employee who is servicing the client. He’s beneath the client. He can’t be wearing nicer stuff than the client.

I don’t know how these people look at themselves in the mirror every morning.

What sort of work you do in those boots, out of curiosity? I wouldn’t have made that bet when I was a machine operator, those shits were soaked in coolant with stainless steel chips embedded everywhere.

Quality of basically every automaker has tanked post COVID, including Honda. And the prices are highway robbery too, its all a race to the bottom now.

If you have access to a belt sander you can sand down a 12mm screw. Done crap like that before.

It’s somewhat like Dark Souls in that there’s appeal in mastering the enemies you fight in predicting their moves and timing your own. Finding a weapon that jives with you, buildcrafting, etc. It is a circular gameplay loop in that you kill monster, cut them up, use pieces to make gear, use gear to hunt better monsters…but that’s not a bad thing I think.

It can be a more challenging game than it might seem on its face, especially Freedom Unite, and especially with the limited control schemes of the older portable consoles. I started with 4U and find I struggle going back to it after playing World and Rise.

I thought that the solution there has always been to bury it in desert bunkers for 10,000 years.

If we’re still around by the time that becomes too cumbersome we are hopefully space-faring and then yeeting it into Jupiter becomes an option.

There are fan projects like 2009scape that you can play for free.

In a more just world they’d be treated like Milosevic’s Serbia.
