We have the documents for their reasoning. The stated reason was because the mob used handguns for assassinations, they didn't give a rats ass about some bank robbers in the middle of nowhere at the time, but the mobsters were fucking with them on the east coast so they just had to get rid of handguns. Then someone brought up the fact that cut down barrels on rifles and shotguns would be a loophole so they added it in. Then, they decided that the handgun ban wouldn't pass SCOTUS so they dropped it, but left the barrel length in.

They don't mention any one event or person in the documented debates, just organized crime in general.

They have zero documented discussion on suppressors.

They were added in the original ban in '34

They were originally trying to ban handguns, hence the rifle and shotgun barrel lengths rules to close the loophole, then they removed the handgun regulation and left the SBR and SBS rules for no reason. They also both used to be 18", until the government surplused a bunch of M1 Carbines post WWII and committed a shit-ton of felonies so they just changed it to 16" to match the M1 Carbine barrel length.

The NFA is legislation that is too retarded to live.

Know why suppressors are on the NFA?

Neither does Congress. It was added with no recorded discussion.

I think I ordered it in March of '23 for Nov '23 and then it just kept pushing out. Delayed gratification is an understatement

The Galaxy's Edge (it's not Star Wars, this was before Star Wars started using that name for some of their slop) series is great. There are three running parallel to each other, the main series, Bounties and Contracts and Lone Operator and they're all great. R.C. Bray does the main series and Ray Porter does the Bounties and Contracts series, they really fit the grimdark military setting.

Yeah man, I'll just go to a country I've never been to and sleep on a strangers couch. Sounds like I'll really be improving myself.

The punchline is porn, its just porn.

This is also, you know, rape porn. So even more degenerate and overall gross.

The N64 controller wasn't as dumb as everyone thinks it is when you realize they designed it to play both 3D games and 2D games in an era where 3D games hadn't been out long, so they didn't really implement using the D-pad for other inputs yet. They intended the thumbstick for 3D, and the D-pad for 2D. Obviously now we know that it's useful to have the D-pad mapped to secondary functions, which is why people think it looks weird.

I picked up a PS3 controller for the first time in years and I never realized how floaty those sticks feel. Even the bog standard 360 controllers are better.

If I use a mod to tweak difficulty, it's usually to change a bullshit challenge to a reasonable challenge. There's so much BS in games that make it harder, but in a dumbass way. Like, you do hardly any damage but the boss can one-shot you. So I would mod it where now you aren't one-shotting the boss, but you're also not using a super soaker against a demigod. That's not a fun challenge, that's just lazy game design. Literal brute force over making the NPC behavior more clever and complex.

The pokemon thing was more because fuck you I'm not buying your game twice and I'm the only person I know that plays Pokémon.

They exist, but aren't as popular as the ones that turn you into a god.

It's the reason that From Soft's games don't sell as well as CoD, most normies don't play games for the difficulty.

They only know how to double down because they actually believe their own bullshit.

His real infraction is the fact that his wife wore a MAGA hat to a game a few weeks ago. They were just waiting for an excuse.

Somehow they figured that since storage space is cheaper than ever, they could just skip the optimization step. People wonder why AAA games are so jank nowadays.

CoD made it acceptable in the industry to just ignore the optimization step and just let your game be 300 gigs.

LGR did a retrospective on Unreal, UT99, and UT04 and one of those had said note, can't for the life of me remember which one though.

...didn't Unreal Tournament 99 come with a note apologizing for all the bugs and asked you to download a day one patch?

I'll take bad over insulting. I'd rather watch a bad show that's kina boring than one that lectures me on how terrible I am.
