*GASP*

Oh, hey. It's you. Sorry, I've been pretty tired recently. I haven't gotten much sleep since working on my dissertation on the broken clock theory.



It's coming along, but the research isn't all there yet.

Hm? Oh. What's that? That's just ekat.



I'm trying to figure out how one man can make this many bad takes. I've had to sift through a lot of really really shitty statements. One of these has gotta be right...

Sometimes I thought I found one, but then I realize it was a quote. This guy gets into a lot of fights.

I admire Ekaterina's willpower to be wrong all the time and die on every hill they stand.

You can repeat the lie that I'm wrong over and over as many times as you want and I'll still be right.
Plug your ears and cover your eyes while you do it so you can look even more like a child throwing a tantrum over hearing the truth that you dislike.

And some of them are just really bad...

i genuinely think multi-z is a mistake and that the game would be better off without it.

You should have campaigned on a platform of taking multi-Z maps off the rotation. You'd have won in a landslide lmao.

I don't even understand this one.

Cyborgs are conversion antags.

... I know it's bait, it's just like...

I have an idea! How about we just print money? What could possibly go wrong?

*sigh*

Y'know forumites. I'm on page 6 now, and I still can't find anything correct that he said-

Hey... Where did he go..?



OH FUCK!

All of them are right, without fail. You're just not robust enough to see it.

Ok listen guys quick but important lesson

When using sprites and pictures from the game, you have to be careful with scaling



Here we have a revolver, in all it's glory. But It's kinda small and difficult to see, so let's scale it up!



Wow! That looks terrible! And that's because we used bilinear scaling. We told it to make the image bigger, and to do this it needs to add more pixels. How does it know what pixels to add? In this instance, we told it to guess. You need a pixel between a black pixel and a red pixel, and so it decides that's probably supposed to be in the middle - Dark red.

What you need to use is nearest neighbor scaling



There it is, nice and crisp. Instead of estimating what pixel to use, this method just picks the closest one that's already there and uses that color. As long as you don't enlarge it in very small quantities, it looks great.

Bilinear scaling (and cubic) looks like ass for sprites.

i get its an evil syndicate that has extreme levels of branding but it looks like some shit straight out of a roblox fighting game. if it didn't have the colouring and was super damn chunky, sure. chunky revolvers are evil. but the colours make me irrationally angry

I hate the new sprite and agree with everything you said except you could get a red fiber optic sight for your revolver. The red front sight is the least of its problems.
Will also add that wheel guns are already, in my opinion, the fedora and katana of the gun world in present day let alone in wacky future space age. But I like the detective having one and I suppose there might as well be a 357 version to meta with.

Hey sprite makers, do you want to have a futuristic syndicate revolver that doesn't look like you have no clue what you're drawing? Use the rhino revolver as a starting point and add a red stripe to it (if you must).

At least it exists as a revolver instead of the current flare gun spray painted black.

Between this and the fact that they will use any made up name except the accurate names such as morphine and methamphetamine for their drugs, fallout in my opinion is actually pretty corny in its attempts to not reference anything that exists in real life for its games.

This is how a 357 revolver is supposed to look. One brushed metal color, either silver or gunmetal black. A barrel smaller than the cylinder, and a wood/rubber handle.

there's a place for grampa's revolver but if i wanted one it'd be this sexy beast.

[dirk_mcblade]

Nearly everyone agrees the rhino is ugly, but it's arguably the most modern revolver in terms of design. Unless you count Ruger adding polymer frames and improving the internal mechanics / triggers of some of its revolvers, but I think of that as an incremental improvement rather than a brand new design (subjective opinion). I still think revolvers are obsolete for most gun owners except for extreme casuals or people who just like them.

[sinfulbliss]

Spoiler:

That's a fairly sexy gun, I'll admit, but I just don't like that squared off cylinder. A cylinder should be ROUND. It's like a revolver trying to be a semiauto.

I still think revolvers are obsolete for most gun owners except for extreme casuals or people who just like them.

WRONG. A revolver is the most reliable firearm you could possibly purchase. You can leave a revolver in a drawer for 5 years, pick it up, drop it in the mud, chuck it down a flight of stairs, and it'll still shoot like you just bought it. Semiautos are liable to jam... And if you press up hard enough against the barrel, you can push it out of battery so it won't fire.

And if you press up hard enough against the barrel, you can push it out of battery so it won't fire.

I think that's a common opinion and I agree re: leaving it in a drawer for five years without doing any care which is why it's a decent choice for people who rarely shoot guns but I don't know if that's true re: the premise that it's mechanically simpler or more reliable. If you have a malfunction with your revolver you might end up having to deal with cylinder timing and all sorts of bullshit that you probably can't deal with in the field or at all (I wouldn't know how to fix that). If you have a malfunction with your semiauto you can fix the problem most of the time by racking the slide. But I don't know I bought a semiauto that had a reputation for being reliable, worked out of the box with its packing grease, and thereafter I kept it oiled and didn't drop it in mud (skill / holster issue tbh I don't go out knee deep into rice paddies); don't really recall any malfunctions except when I put on a 22lr barrel but I don't think I ever shot 22lr in any gun without it malfunctioning sometimes.

Meanwhile you're giving up a significant amount of anmo capacity and, in the case of a 9mm pistol, cheaper ammo with which to practice. If you live in a state with magazine capacity limits then a revolver starts making more sense. I'd probably take a 686 plus over a 1911.

Not sure whether I like or dislike the cylinder (is it even a cylinder if it's squared off). The version you posted also seems to look better than the one I posted.
All the stuff that's ugly about the rhino are design features. The barrel is low to reduce felt recoil so you need metal up high to attach sights to, and they put holes in it to save weight (ugly). It has a railing under the barrel for attachments, which is useful (ugly).

This on the other hand is an example of what I consider aesthetic and a peak of slavic engineering. I wouldn't be surprised if it passed a mud test. The somewhat similar Cz75 P-01 does, supposedly: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/czechpi ... t1489.html

You are, but most self defense scenarios end in 2-3 bullets I think is the statistic. You don't really need more ammo, but the ammo you do use should definitely be guaranteed to work.
I don't think you will get any cylinder malfunctions in a quality, well-made revolver, but I have shot some pretty expensive well-made semi-autos and have had them jam before. If you limpwrist the trigger or any number of things, you could end up with a jam.

I'll believe that statistic, but the unanswered issue is what kind of revolver will you be using. If it's 4 or 6 inch, fine, you'll probably use a 357 which will have stopping power but if you're concealed carry and you use a snub nosed, then I personally would only be using 38 special which performs worse than 9mm in exchange for a revolver that prints more than some subcompacts and compact 9mm semiautos (which is yet another disadvantage of the revolver, that it is wider than semiautos).
Lastly is the 2-3 shots a function of shots before incapacitating someone or shots given limited time? If you have a pistol with single action triggers it will fire more rounds in less time than a double action revolver.
I'm not saying people can't enjoy revolvers or that they aren't adequate for most people's purposes, I just think technologically they're inferior to semiautomatics.

Admitting beforehand that I've zero experience with firearms, but offering my opinion as a Logical Thinker;

I'd consider it similar to a smartfridge or a smartlock on your house. Sure, my analog lock is technologically inferior, and the smartlock that can pick up my smartkey and unlock the door when I get close to it is mighty convenient.

But at the same time, with an analog lock, I know that there's no situation where it'll stop working. If you ARE carrying in your day-to-day, I have to assume you have it for the off-chance you need it. Sure, that semiauto is pretty fancy, and sure that revolver sure is a lot less technologically advanced.

But if I'm in the kind of life or death situation where I need that thing in the first place, I don't want to roll the dice and hope it doesn't jam.

I mean, it still rolls like a cylinder. Does it really matter that much beyond aesthetics? They're both wheel guns.

The Rhino borrowed some from the Mateba Unica 6. It was a pretty weird but very cool auto revolver, as opposed to the Rhino being Double/Single action. Easily one of the coolest and sexiest firearms to ever exist, in my opinion. If I recall correctly it is also very rare.

That CZ looks pretty alright though I've never really had a place for compacts in my heart. Full size handguns I feel are peak handgun aesthetic.

I'll look into that revolver, looks interesting.

There are full size CZ 75s as well, but their features aren't exactly the same (seems like they have about half a dozen models riffing off the original).

I'm not an expert either, but for context, the CZ P-01 is supposedly NATO torture test compliant and has a failure rate of one shot per 2142 per the link I sent earlier. And a failure to fire would probably be corrected by just racking the slide. I'd roll the dice with those odds. Some handguns are worse than others, but if you properly maintain it and practice shooting like once a month you shouldn't have a problem. If you shoot less often a revolver is a good alternative. I'd have more confidence in a revolver collecting dust for five years in a drawer than a semiautomatic. I think 1911s in particular are range queens based on seeing one of them misfire pretty badly out of the box. Glocks are also probably pretty reliable since I think some of them are NATO compliant, which counts for something. I personally don't like glocks but that's a personal preference.
