Well, to be fair, that graph only looks like that because the Dems always seem to inherit a dogshit economy that’s been destroyed by conservative policies, then the Republicans inherit a strong economy before destroying it.

It took about a year for it to get near-full compatibility with old games since it was emulated on the 360.

Well, he’s also like 4 heartbeats from death. Might as well go out with a bang.

360 was absolutely backwards compatible with the OG Xbox.

We should give them enough gear to substantially weaken our own military.

The Dems need to learn to play dirty. Biden needs to de-fang his own office as much as possible in the next 2 months. And as official acts, he can do it with the Court’s blessing.

Stop taking the high road and burn the fucking White House down before Trump can take it back.

While they’ve shut down online services for some of the older consoles, the backwards compatibility of the Xbox has always been excellent. I was playing Crimson Skies for the OG Xbox on my Series S a few weeks ago.

There’s a whole community for 3d printing shoe charms and Crocs feature prominently.

Makerworld recently had a contest for it.

Those “smaller rounds” were extremely hot 5.56 rounds - an upgraded version of the rounds the guy above me is saying fires through brick walls and cracks ribs if it hits armor.

Mind you, this is what people wear going into combat. It’s for military, SWAT, etc.

An everyday police vest wouldn’t take that kind of beating.

In modern body about it’s spread over the area of the entire 8lb plate, which is way, way more area then the butt of the rifle.

He moves out thigh, and it’s Rachel and Joey living there for a while

Maybe on a plate from 1965 that is just a sheet of steel inside cloth. Modern ceramic plates spread the energy of the impact.

Here’s a video of a Level IV plate taking a 30.06 AP round followed by like 6 5.56 AP rounds and a 7.62x54R AP round so powerful it jammed the rifle.

There’s no significant plate bulge even after all of that.

And the one across the hall with the unemployed actor and the waitress?

That last part is bullshit. If the force distributed across the plate were enough to break bones, then firing the rifle would dislocate the shoulder of the shooter.

Did you not read the part where I said the incentive requires them to vote?

We shouldn’t specifically have Election Day off work. Everyone should get one paid day off in the period of early voting or election day. It’ll prevent the hours-long wait times at the polls on election day and allow businesses to stay in operation by spreading out the time when workers are off to vote.

I’d prefer it even more if the money for the vacation time were paid by the government, but only of the person actually votes. Otherwise, you’ll just find a bunch of cruise specials around election season meant to capitalize on the extra vacation time, and voter turnout won’t be significantly impacted.

Believe it or not, “It’s only illegal if you get caught” isn’t how copyright works.

Microsoft actually was going to allow that starting with the Xbox One.

IIRC, the way they were going to implement it would be to make a license transferrable X times a year. They were also going to allow free sharing of digital games to friends that had been on your friends list for at least 30 days.

But then people freaked out over it when they showed it off at the Xbox One reveal due to the fact that digitally-purchased games would have always-online requirements to keep people from duplicating games by installing them, disconnecting from the internet, then logging in elsewhere and sharing the game with a friend.

So after the backlash they pulled the plan. And that really stinks because they still have always-online requirements for digital games. You just can’t sell or share them now.

Yes, but you can’t use their assets to make other games or products.

You can add whatever you want to Skyrim, but you can’t add Skrim to whatever you like.

I’ve enjoyed my VR but rarely. When I game, I’m usually doing it to relax. Getting everything up and running, clearing space, etc so I can wear a device that makes my face sweat while I thrash about isn’t relaxing.

VR is the gaming equivalent of going to a fancy restaurant with a formal dress code. It’s nice once in a while, but most of the time I’d rather just make a sandwich and stay in.
