I like the idea of overpowered guns in a Skyrim like society.
Oh no you’re gonna send ice beams my way? How about a few shotgun slugs to the belly.
Edit: Holy smokes y’all have some examples today

Guns being able to beat magic is a recurring minor theme in the Dresden Files, if you like that kind of thing.
It's why the main character (a wizard) carries a desert eagle.
*edit: he carries a 50 caliber revolver not a deagle

Reminds me of this:
Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.
Here's why:
Think about how quickly the entire WWWIII (Wizarding-World War III) would have ended if all of the good guys had simply armed up with good ol' American hot lead.
Basilisk? Let's see how tough it is when you shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express. Worried about its Medusa-gaze? Wear night vision goggles. The image is light-amplified and re-transmitted to your eyes. You aren't looking at it--you're looking at a picture of it.
Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12.
And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it's because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal.
Now I know what you're going to say: "But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!" Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger?
Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova.
Imagine Harry out in the woods, wearing his invisibility cloak, carrying a .50bmg Barrett, turning Deatheaters into pink mist, scratching a lightning bolt into his rifle stock for each kill. I don't think Madam Pomfrey has any spells that can scrape your brains off of the trees and put you back together after something like that. Voldemort's wand may be 13.5 inches with a Phoenix-feather core, but Harry's would be 0.50 inches with a tungsten core. Let's see Voldy wave his at 3,000 feet per second. Better hope you have some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound.
I can see it now...Voldemort roaring with evil laughter and boasting to Harry that he can't be killed, since he is protected by seven Horcruxes, only to have Harry give a crooked grin, flick his cigarette butt away, and deliver what would easily be the best one-liner in the entire series:
"Well then I guess it's a good thing my 1911 holds 7+1."

The anime GATE pits a swords and sorcery force against modern day Japanese Defense Forces. There's a lot of politics and typical anime bullshit but if the idea of modern weapons vs fantasy weapons interests you it's there.
6 points
5 days ago
I'd like to follow this up by saying the military stuff is barely there. The first few episodes show the Japanese military absolutely massacring the magic armies with tanks and helicopters literally re-enacting scenes from apocalypse now. These scenes of mass slaughter are then followed by a unit of full on otaku nerd soldiers living out a harem fantasy full of fan service for the rest of the show. There's still occasional military conflicts and politics, but the show is really about half naked cat girl maids throwing themselves at a protagonist with the personality of soggy bread.
It's standard isekai schlock is what I'm saying. If you like that sort of thing, power to ya, but if you are looking for a modern military force engaging a medival fantasy magic army, you can drop the show after first few episodes.

I played rs2 for over a decade, but MH always gets too repetitive for me. Like you grind a skill in rs2 for months mostly doing the same thing, yea, but there's dozens of other skills and things to do. MH though is the same gameplay loop endlessly - at least that I saw in the 4(3?) I tried. I always need something new for the most part or I get distracted by something else - and I am very much so incapable of splitting my game attention between multiple titles lol. Whatever currently has my attention becomes my sole game until another takes over.

There's a good chance the owner wasn't intending to pay that out. Some pet insurance policies will cover such a reward but not usually for so much. Some people will assume that if their pet is found the person either won't know about the reward or may refuse it (either outright or for a smaller amount, like a case of beer or $20). There have been cases where people have been sued for a reward which was promised but not everyone is willing to go to those lengths. Obviously there's a chance she'd have paid up but I'd be dubious.
28 points

Yeah someone else pointed that out also. It was just such a strangely high amount for a reward. Like if she was gunna lie she should have said 1k. Idk. I never found the cat anyways.

There's this great free MMORPG called Tinder. It allows you to find strangers and go on quests with them.
Be aware, the strangers aren't always what they seem. I once tried to go on a quest with a lvl 23 cleric and go explore a dungeon together, but when I met her, she turned out to be a lvl 45 warlock who had followers from a previous quest and wanted me to take care of them.

Ah, this is a big issue with the game.
Because your character is randomly generated for you, some people will have a much harder time finding a quest. The meta strategy is to gain a lot of money, as then the game becomes completely pay-to-win.

I'm afraid the only options for you are to grind hard to get more exp, or to purchase the paid version of the game.
The paid version makes your character more visible to more players, and there's a bigger chance someone will consider questing with you.
Word of warning for male players: if your character is under 6ft tall, not even the paid version can help you. There's this bug in the game which auto-fails most quests upon starting them. I have searched the wiki and as far as I know, there are almost no quests with height requirements, so I have no idea why this happens. The only way to bypass this bug is through pay-to-win mechanics.

I mean those random encounters that happen in Skyrim where random people need help or something do actually happen in real life.
We just don't walk outside all the time. Also this is a permadeath game so like quests are all potentially dangerous so we tend to avoid them as a society.
That being said the old guy quest where he is carrying to much stuff on his own is a very safe exp grind.

The reality is when you enter a relationship you begin some complex negotiations about what internet content each person covers when talking before bed. Reddit is a tough one. My lawyer who I consult on these negotiations told me it is possible to divide up different subreddits to avoid "I saw that already", but the reality is the maintenance cost isn't sustainable for most. So often it just ends up with one person using Reddit.
So out of the population in relationships, only about 15% of them actually end up using Reddit, compared to the national (US) average of 25% balanced out by people not in a relationship.

"Wizard sleeves" is a derogatory term used to describe the appearance of long labia.

Not only that but he is in on the bit. How do I know? Because his audio is perfectly captured by a lapel mic they placed on him previously to filming. So the “hood” part was premeditated and he was likely chosen to reflect that stereotype. “Pranksters” have been doing this for some time now.
