It isn't so bad as a freebie. I wouldn't pay sticker price for it though.
Lots of issues with optimization, sub-par character creation, UI is absolutely counter-intuitive, hacking is bland, gun play is bland, city is largely static and dull, bugs aplenty, bloated inventory, and a pretty inflexible story path (as far as I got, most responses were just "move the story forward with a different emoji").
Not all terrible, but for eight years of development incredibly lackluster.
Hate to admit it but I think you are right. Had hopes that despite the rumors they could pull this off and make it something worth the hype but I really should know better by now. Guess that is what I get for applying pre-2014 hopes to post-2014 reality.
Totally agree. In its current state, it boggles my mind that they had eight years to come up with the current product. Hopefully it will be better later, but not worth sticker price at the moment.
Sadly it is wrong. The site has not been actually updated since the first pause in counting. This is perfectly normal for it (am from MI, our infrastructure sucks).
If you can, purchase the upper and lower receivers separately. Saves a bunch on taxes to purchase the halves and assemble it, rather than buying a complete firearm. I recommend checking out palmetto state armory. Good for starter builds.
motions for check
Will have to wait and see as to what BS they throw at him. It may have been an arrest with no plan to charge in some sort of effort to attempt to deescalate the situation. Still fails the sniff test on not being utter bullshit though. The mob was obviously the instigator here. Hope the cops get sued into the ground on this one.
Got to disagree on employees speaking out against this. Current federal policy is that this filth is banned. Speaking out against it is the right thing to do. Further, if the CDC is retaliating against employees who do so, all they are doing is creating federal whistle blower retaliation claims against themselves in court. So I say let the affected employees lawyer up and the lawsuits commence!
Edit: Forgot to clarify; The act of reporting violations of Federal Policy to their superiors is legally protected, barring some arcane mechanism inherent to federal employment I am unaware of.
Edit of Edit: Not an attorney, but work in the field. For best results, ask an attorney. The above is not to be taken as legal advice.
There a couple of misconceptions here. First, a revolver is just a pistol with a feeding mechanism in the form of the cylinder rather than an magazine. Second is the Knockdown Power Myth. If I am remembering correctly, .38 is only a bit bigger than a 9mm round. It still lacks the mass and/or velocity to start getting into the nastier pressure cavities, both primary and secondary, seen with wounding caused by higher powered/faster traveling rifle rounds (which can be the same size or smaller than pistol loads, such as .223/5.56 rounds used in the AR-15) or the devastation that can be caused by more weighty shotgun loads (massive projectile in the case of a slug, or through quantity of decently massed projectiles as per buckshot) which can cause instant incapacitation. From what I have read (and I am not an expert), handguns are largely similar in terms of terminal ballistics until you are getting into the hand cannon ranges (.454 Casul or .500 Magnum). This is a very extensive topic. A couple of good starting points can be found here though:

As stated above, using a firearm in self defense means shooting until the threat has ended (i.e. is no longer capable of harming you). Unless you get lucky and tag something that instantly incapacitates (a direct hit to the brain), chances are that even a mortally wounded person will still be able to fight for up to 2-3 minutes, give or take, before blood loss renders them unconscious and therefore unable to fight back. This is further complicated that pistols and other such small caliber, lower velocity sidearms do not have enough "oomph" to get the job done like a rifle (much faster projectile) or shotgun (heavier/numerous projectile) would. Hence why a mag dump into the aggressor is warranted.
Note: The subject of "killing power" is hotly debated among gun people. i would recommend taking a detailed look at that particular subject from good sources to get a better idea of what I am rambling about.
This needs a hell of a lot more upvotes. Very true.
Sorry, no idea. Work in the field, but not in Illinois. From what I read though, that license thing is bullshit.
Yeah, they might have a hook there as he did technically transport it over state lines (possibly illegally) and he may not be in legal possession as a minor either. Lots of unknowns.
Edit: It also does not help that his actions may not hold up to the oft quoted in law "reasonable person" test frequently used by courts. I also wonder if this is a federal court issue now as he crossed state lines... jurisdiction is going to be a cluster fuck with this matter.
Yep; standing is needed to sue, precedent is needed to win.
Mostly been playing 7 Days to Die (A19 just dropped) and getting into Casino Sim... er Black Desert of late.
Edit: Also been modding the shit out of Stellaris lately as well for a new bunch of challenges/fun.
Just noticed I derped out on that. My bad and seconded!
