I really dig this game and want to do more videos with a little bit of editing (most missions have long downtime as I walk across them) and some themed loadouts.

He was the better Jack for the show. RDA has a Bruce Campbell like quality where even when he says or does something that should make him unlikable, he’s still likable. In a show this is good because we like likable main characters.

The movie version of Jack needed legitimate friction with Daniel that felt serious.

So anyway, here’s a Swiss tank simulator that uses a camera traveling around a miniature environment.

I’ve seen speculation online that there could have been more to it, with the photo being a public tip off. Since the Captain didn’t put the scope on himself, and there were surely people running the range there were many chances for people to intervene and they didn’t. The speculation is that could be the sign of an unhealthy command culture where people were either so demotivated they didn’t care or so actively against the Captain that they did this. Adding to the final buck stopping that the Captain himself didn’t notice anything wrong with what should have been obvious.

He has a vertical grip mounted, but it is very far to the rear. It is a strange place for it. The photo caused such a stir that the Captain in it was relieved for a loss of confidence.

It is.

The Bismarck knows where it is at all times.

The Van Halen radiation belts rock too hard though.

Generally speaking, the idea of using infantry fire against planes very quickly became outdated. It was a drill developed against the slower, less armored WW1/ early inter-war era planes. WW2 era plane models quickly advanced to become too fast and armored.

If I recognize this bridge correctly, I believe above the top of the photo on the right.

Realistically most people don’t shoot beyond 200m and even fewer are doing it on a gun that has a 1x purpose. A 3-9x scope for dedicated long(er) range gun, and then 1-4x type optics for other guns makes sense.

But some people are outliers or just want the options I suppose.

It looks very Goosebump-y.

I’ve heard by way of anecdote some of the connotation was strengthened by the Mattel toy guns being bought and used as training aids by individual units in stateside training. That could strengthen a baseless, but not absurd, rumor that Mattel had anything to do with the polymer on M16s.

Anyways in the movie ‘The Green Berets’ (1968) John Wayne smashes a Mattel gun on a tree. It isn’t a good movie, but it has weirdly memorable scenes.

Atlantis was, if I recall correctly, intended for a while to be the successor. The plan was for the SG-1 show to end with the Atlantis mission beginning, and then the Atlantis show to be the next stage of the Stargate franchise. What ended up happening was the Atlantis mission kicking off but then also TV people in charge wanted to keep the SG-1 show going so you had the shows airing at the same time. That is partially why SG-1 mildly turned into a zombie version of itself. Certainly not as bad as other shows, but I could still feel it.

I guess I’m still not following how if I’m using say the nvidia geforce screen recording software which is capturing the display of my screen how the browser knows. Since the browsers has already gotten the image and displayed it and the recorder is recording the display instead of, intercepting (I suppose is the best word) the data before it is displayed.

This thread was made in good fun, as I had run across this picture being wildly misinterpreted by a bunch of people. I thought it would be fun to share under the assumption people subscribed to NCD for the most part would understand what’s happening.

My question is why it made you so mad that you decided to go on a downvote spree on a bunch of unrelated posts and comments of mine? Not like this place has account karma or anything, but it just seems like a strange reaction.

Netflix being an application that is running on a TV seems like a very different situation than a video playing inside of a browser. How exactly would YouTube know or be able to stop screen recording short of forcing me to actively run a program?

Maybe I’m not following but this seems to be talking about applications communicating with hardware designed to be authorized to play.

How would a video playing on a browser like YouTube on my existing, old hardware be able to parse what’s authorized? Short of making YouTube a program on my computer, how does it on a browser know what else I’m running?

I already just use screen capture recording to take videos in my desktop playing YouTube on a browser. Could they even stop that?
