I feel like a large part of 3h’s soundtrack problem is just that there aren’t enough songs period. hard for the themes to have any emotional impact when you just hear the same ones for every chapter

Like.... you’re right, but NieR also gets away with having a few tracks and then just using various remixes of the same really good songs at pivotal moments

I haven’t recorded anything yet, but I’m playing on emulator (Nox specifically), so I just use something like OBS to record my Nox window. ’s how I stream GFL too.

That does explain it.

I play it on my phone so I was wondering how to do so.

Alas!

Thank you very much for the answer too. : >

i was going to ask how this is going! i’m so sorry they look bad! :C

In fairness, the gold skin on the R9 actually looks pretty ok and if you run the 680 with no stock and the special foregrip it has it looks pretty alright. But otherwise, they all look pretty gross. The only one that wasn’t disappointing was the Origin and that’s just because that gun was always ugly regardless of the skin on it. 

On the positive, platinum 680 is pretty hot!

I ask myself this every single fucking day 

[letssnowstreamwings]

10 fictional characters I have no business being in love with but I am.

1 being absolutely in love

10 being a hardcore crush

Since @lavender-moon13 saw fit to throw this at me and I haven't thought about it in a while, let's see what I come up with.

1. Rider/Medusa from Fate/Stay Night

2. G36 from Girls Frontline

3. Chrom from Fire Emblem Awakening

4. Neptune from Hyperdimension Neptunia

5. Lyndis from Fire Emblem Blazing Sword

6. Dean Winchester from Supernatural

7. Samus Aran from Metroid

8. UMP 9 from Girls Frontline

9. Shana from Shakugan no Shana

10. Atalante from Fate Apocrypha

Alright, maybe the ordering needs some work, and I'm sure I could name half a dozen others if I gave it some more thought, but it's good enough for me.

Now, who to tag for their own lists...

@scarletlotus182 @sylvastheicefairy i couldn't remember off the top of my head which one of you was the bigger STAR 15 fan, so I just tagged you both in this very relevant reblog.

[once-and-future-alaskan]

please tell me about m14. and also about m590.

Ohhhhh, a Double! Spicy!

So the M14 is a piece of shit, moving along-

Ok no, I’m not actually gonna just say that and walk away, I hate it too much for that. 

So the M14 was a result of military incompetence, much like UCP if you remember my camo wars post from a while back, that was adopted solely because of American Exceptionalism and the US’s obsession with individual marksmanship. The gist of it is that the US after World War 2 went “Hey what if we took the M1 Garand, that we love very very much with all of our hearts, and made it mag-fed and also able to shoot in full auto?” It was a simple enough idea that the US would somehow fuck up so hard it’d take them a full 15 years to accomplish. 

So development began and the newly formed NATO was like “Hey what if we all used the same bullets and guns so we can share ammo in case we have to fight the Soviets together? And what if those bullets were like smaller than out absurdly oversized old bullets, you know, like that German STG thing.” So the US, ODing on nationalism, went “I got just the thing right here, .308!” Now .308 was more or less exactly like .30-06, the US’s mainline cartridge in WW2, except it was in a slightly more compact package meaning you could carry more of it in theory. However, the US was not the only one who had answered the competition of course and countries like Britain had much more compelling ideas like the Britishes not quite intermediate .280 cartridge that they put in the EM-2. 

While all this is happening the US is chugging ahead building the M14 in .308. Now the main argument for why the M14 was such a good idea when things like the FAL existed was simple, the Ordnance Department said they could make it use almost all the same preexisting tooling and production lines as the M1 Garand. If this was true then that would be a huge cost saver and actually a really good reason to go with it. Unfortunately, that’s not how it actually worked out as by the end of it the only compatible parts between the M14 and M1 were insignificant things like swing swivels and butt plates. 

Back on the ammo side the US eventually strongarms a deal with the rest of NATO that says we would adopt the FAL like everyone else had if they adopted .308. So it was agreed and .308 was adopted as 7.62x51mm NATO. The US ordnance department, however, decided it was gonna be cheeky and hold a trial between the M14 and FAL and also there was this weird looking aluminum AR-10 thing there too that got disqualified for a barrel bursting that I’m sure won’t come up again. You can probably guess what happened next. 

So after rigging things and making up a bullshit excuse about arctic trials the US adopted the M14 and felt pretty good about it. The future looked bright for unquestioned doctrine. 

Then Vietnam happened.  

The M14 had a lot of problems. Most obviously was that it was a gun designed with the principles of a rifle from 1940 but with a detachable magazine. In full auto, it was effectively uncontrollable regardless of the skill of the shooter. The magazine is unintuitive and never goes in the right way on the first try. The traditional rifle style stock increased felt recoil and created a natural pivot point that increased muzzle rise. The sights, while excellent for target shooting, weren’t especially well suited to actual combat conditions. The rifles long length and heavyweight made it cumbersome and tiresome to carry. The large 7.62 rounds were bulky and heavy effectively limiting the number of rounds soldiers could carry. And much much more. 

While all of this was happening a 6-pound aluminum and plastic slender little beauty of a rifle called the AR-15 appeared on the scene and started catching the eyes of anyone with half a brain. Ordnance tried to stop the inevitable but eventually, Secretary of Defense Robert Macnamara stepped in and basically forced the military to give the M16 a fair shake and adopt it, leading to the M14 having the shortest service life of any mainline service rifle in US history at only 5 years. 

Speeding things along: The M14 limped along till the 2010s as a marksman rifle in the EBR configuration but it was really only in that role because it was what was available and NOT because of it’s inherent accuracy. The M14 is not particularly accurate for the record, it takes a lot of fine-tuning to get it sniper worthy and requires a lot of maintenance to stay that way and it’s still not as accurate as a relatively low maintenance SR-25 or similar pattern .308 AR. 

So TL;DR: The M14 is shit and anyone who likes it for any reason other than aesthetics is a contrarian and not to be trusted.

In Girls’ Frontline M14 is wildly overhyped 3-star rifle who speaks in the royal we. Her design is pretty good tho.
