Ghost Recon, Ravenfield, Battlebit etc are shooters with simple graphics. Ghost Recon was from constraints of its time (2001 release) but Ravenfield and Battlebit could be way more photorealistic (like Squad) but chose not to. And I like that. In shooters you want good visuals if you can but having consistent performance is a bigger deal than some other games. I don’t care about frame rate stutters in a turn based game like X-Com for example.

Speaking of turn based, one of the graphically simplest games I’ve playes recently is Armored Commander II. It is very very basic graphically (think dwarf fortress or intellivision) and I shit you not it is more immersive than it has any right to. The graphics and display info gives you juuuust enough info to set your imagination into overdrive to fill in the rest.

When your Sherman is almost out of ammo, bogged down in a muddy field and taking fire from enemy tanks in a nearby farm the actual graphics don’t really matter so much

Shellshock Live is a steam game I found that’s essentially full fledged tanks with local and online mp

It looks like a export/budget friendly x-wing

Dagobah swamp foxes lol

In a similar spirit don’t look up That’s a Nice Grill by TheMinuteHour

I’ve never been tased but I strongly suspect it would be taser, tear gas, pepper spray from best to worst. The effects of pepper spray is intense and long lasting, even when you shower after pepper spray will leave your pores and hit your face again, and maybe even run down to your junk if you aren’t careful

I hit the trails on my bike on Sunday. More recently I did some target shooting

I get that in political office everything in the public eye is a sort of show. What clothes you wear, how you handle yourself, the speeches etc.

So I get that to some people anything a politician does is purely for their own benefit. Nobody wants to look bad of course. But to me this seemed more genuine than most.

And just imagine what was going through the mind of that veteran! You do your part when you were young, filling out the forms, standing in the lines, training. Probably having doubts that they would make it out in one piece. Then decades later being thanked in person by a leader from the generations of children that didn’t even exist in the world you fought for, but who also understands the realities and tolls of conventional war at an individual level. It’s got to be surreal.

US special forces have front heavy guns with thicker barrels, lights, lasers, quad rails etc.

And look at how well they do, the weight must be the secret!

I can hear the laugh track from here

I never knew the fen/bog part! The only reason I knew swamps from marshes is from labeling them in OpenStreetMap

Past self wouldn’t listen to any sage wisdom I could pass on anyway lol

yep!

Humans Are Such Easy Prey is an awesome synthwave song that uses this clip in the beginning
