Someone was being very clingy tonight about getting face rubs and then getting a napping cap.

mystery solved

I spent ALL DAY getting mad abt pharmas dumbass guns when it was so simple all along..

I’m still mad abt it tho bc?? the arms connected to his guns would have to be so long for them to be moving around like they are in the two(?) whole panels they are in. It makes no sense

[cryptidjeepers]

My youtube is absolutely flooded with these cold ass take drama clickbait its fucking insane. Their apology (from what i saw) was well received. The entire situation wasnt even that big of a deal after things got sorted. Why are these wannabe drama channels so obsessed with such a nothing issue. "Wild apology"???? They gave REFUNDS and free access to patreon supporters. They agreed they fucked up??? And changed their plan accordingly. They still have things to fix but jesus christ move on already 😭😭😭 just saying, there are literal youtubers that were accused of grooming that got treated better by the drama new cycle than a youtube channel that just wanted more income. Im so tired of hearing about it now

Back during the gun panic of 2008 we all became aware of a kind of gun guy that came to be known as “Bubba” who would take then-common and then-cheap rifles, most notoriously from the Mosin Nagant family, and then “modernize” them with some kind of synthetic stock, rail accessory, scope, etc.

Bubba made all kinds of arguments justifying this behavior. He was making the gun “practical.” He was making it “usable.”

Bubba's father and grandfather did the same thing with surplus rifles, but for that generation the term was "sporterizing." Cutting down barrels and stocks to improve accuracy, tapping receivers for scope mounts, all in the name of "practicality." Making it "usable."

In the long run the accomplishment of both was to guarantee the future owners of those firearms went to great lengths and expense to undo their "improvements."

The sights have gotten more sophisticated, the mounts have gotten more clever, the antiques have gotten rarer and more expensive, the arguments have not changed.

The problem with all of these wayward souls is that they are trying to make their gun something it is not, in the pursuit of some other gun they would rather have. Your "modernized" antique will never compete with an actual modern firearm, and sooner or later you will return to what you actually want--a modern firearm.

In the past people justified this behavior because of cost or availability. The surplus guns were cheap, modern guns expensive. That is not the case now. All the antiques are expensive now, much more than modern guns, in large part precisely because of this behavior. These days, if you have the money for an antique gun and the gadgetry needed to "modernize" it, you have the money for a modern gun that will outperform the antique in every meaningful category.

All but one, which is that the antique is an antique, and the modern gun is not. This for many people is an intrinsic value. Trying to make the antique something that it isn't is just undoing the one thing the antique actually has going for it in favor of trying to make it something that it can never be. And you may feel that you are clever, but you are just bored, and ultimately just making a fool of yourself. You look ridiculous. Your gun looks ridiculous. And it is still not and will never be what you actually want. The antique is never going to shoot as well as an AR-15 or a Glock. That red dot sight will never perform as well on your antique as it would on an AR-15 or a Glock.

If you really cannot shoot that pistol or that rifle without a red dot sight or some other modern accoutrements, sell it to someone who will appreciate it for what it is and use that money to buy a firearm that functions how you actually want.

I don't care what Youtube Star has to say about it.

[once-in-a-half-life]

aw man finally I finished replaying half life 2 and the episodes (and lost coast) with all the commentary <3 it's so interesting and really amazing to see just how much thought and work (and play testing, haha) went into these amazing games

it's a bit frustrating and sad though to hear them talk about a technology they made and mention that they definitely want to use it to make cool things in episode 3... like, do they know?

all in all I love half life 2 and the episodes. best games ever made

also here's a comic I drew after I went through the heart-to-heart scene in episode 2

what time period does illegally bound take place? i wanna know what vibe to assign like if it's early 2000s geocities and AIM…… late 2000s myspace+birth of youtube………. early 2010s tumblr and vine….. 2016 musical.ly and cats+galaxy print…… pre+during lockdown….. or post lockdown brainrot…. this is a very important question

this is such a good question!!!!! we mulled it over a bit and i think the consensus is that it takes place in the vaguely defined modern day but has heavy 2005-2010 Vibes. i think its largely because wukong is kind of an old soul... since u phrased this question in a social media heavy way it got me thinking about that as well. wujing uses minimal technology because hes super off the grid. has burner brick phones and his restaurant is not anywhere online. wukong doesnt use social media but not for security reasons like wujing, he's just too cool for it. has like a flip phone or some other dumb phone. sanzang... i wanna say he doesnt use social media personally but puts some basic effort into maintaining a socmed presence for his centre like a facebook page and maybe an instagram profile. he strikes me as a fb guy... but i could also see him getting really into some stupidly cute fandom or subculture online... like maybe some chick flick drama or some sanrio adjacent merchandise. hehe. ao lie is your generic teenager with like tiktok and stuff. hes not super active i think hes just a scroller. but there was an idea where sanzang recruits him for social media management HEHE. bajie........ i could see bajie being a tiktok star

anyway this is all irrelevant anyway because the plot takes place in offbrand hong kong so the socmed ppl use is probably very different skuhiugh i'll pass this on to @frozenladybug for hk expertise

ah as for the pandemic eummmm idk i don't think we'll touch it. i think in off brand hk gay marriage is legal and covid didnt happen

EDIT flb keeps bringing up the movie "young and dangerous" as a sort of Vibe reference for illegally bound i havent seen it but im sure it's right on point

I haven't had any fictional characters show up in my dreams for awhile but the other night I dreamed I accidentally left my teenage brother at a city library and he wouldn't answer his phone so I was freaking out trying to to get back to him by bus and when I made it back it turned out he was just chilling with AJ in the closed library
