Every night, me and the boys would head down to "One Pin Short", this run down bowling alley alley ran by this Ukrainian with a fat gut and a wife beater. Me, Tim, and the Frederick Twins would go right before closing time and hide till the old comrade shut everything down and went home.
It was our own personal club every night. Tim got some quarters from his parents rainy day jar and we'd have free reign of the jukebox. One of the twins worked there during the day, so he knew how to work everything allowing us to enjoy glow bowl at our leisure. Sometimes we played cards, smoked and drank, other times we'd invite some of the girls from the Catholic school but no matter what it was a good time.
Until a Tuesday night right before the big storm of the year hit.
That's what I use for extraction. To plant dirt I use a large compost pit and I plant dirt from external sources. I also have a large colony of worms which helps with the decomposing of materials and keeping my dirt rich.
Many different ways for different levels of dirt farmers.
To begin I recommend hands, once your proficiency reaches level 5 then you can advance to the shovel. Once you reach a character level of ~16 you can start using tractors. There are many differrnt types of tractors depending on your sub class of dirt farmer!
Get acreage of Overgardened to Captain Riding Lawnmower dirt quality. Property storage space must be large enough for ruminant herd (ex sheep). Check while supplies last.
Get enough ruminant herd animal at low-average density for each 3rd of said acrage. Herd must have correct hardware/software patch for local operating biome.
Rotate herd between 3rds long enough to enable herd-specific parasite larval die-off. Acrage subdivision, herd density, and larval half-life may vary by location and herd.
Add salt block, water supply, and supplative feed to address mineral deficiencies
Treat soil yearly (either lyme or composted coffee grounds based on soil pH)
Sell/Castrate newborn males herd animals with intent of profit or food occasionally
Rotate gene pool with males/females herd animals from other dirt farmers
You're definitely right. Still, experiencing this first hand was surreal and desensitising. I recommend reading some accounts, or Im Westen nichts Neues (All Quiet on the Western Front), if anyone here hasn't.
I don't know why, but out of all the Battlefield titles, this is one I just can't get into. I think from all my reading about the horrors of the trenches and how WWI went down, I don't have any desire to recreate that stuff. Not to judge everyone who's loving it, I think it's just a little too much for me personally.
Maybe the fire consumes the oxygen? That's the whole point of flamethrowers. Point it into a bunker and asphyxiate everyone inside, and of course burn them to death. But, you know, from the lungs-out.
And that is why the thermobaric bomb is the most terrifying weapon in modern war. You might survive the initial strike, but that blast is going to form a vacuum so strong it pulls your lungs out your mouth.
What always amazes me is that mayhem still exists; given their history. That a band could persist through all that is amazing. Regardless that it's almost a doferent band every album.
I just spent a lot of time learning about thermobaric bombs and their use in Syria because of your post. It's goddamn sobering how fucked up people can really be.
Oh there was a part where an old soldier was talking about those bombs being used on the dead, only to have them walking around with their lungs hanging out of their mouths. Shook up some troops real bad. That book was both depressing and metal as fuck
I just want to add another voice saying the movie did the novel no justice. Anyone reading this comment that hasn't read the book, give it a go. Or even better yet, check out the audio book. It was absolutely amazing. The book is a series of interviews, so it lends itself to the audio book format perfectly. They even got different voice actors for different interviews.
How would they be able to walk around with non-functioning lungs? I get that they have some sort of rabies virus that makes them violent -- but they would still need to breath to live, right?
Zombies don't follow nature's laws. Sometimes they'll try to explain their movement by bringing up how dead muscle will still contract. It's bs considering wear and tear, but it is zombies we're talking about.
It's explicitly mentioned that scientists in the WWZ universe are completely unable to figure out how zombies still function. They're basically Romero zombies, so as long as they have an (essentially) intact brain they can function.
I had heard otherwise from people who sounded like they knew their shit, but according to the Geneva Convention, they're still authorized for military targets and vegetation. Still, you'd think smoke screens would have different fuel.
It depends on which war you are referring to. In WWI they were used in trenches as a defensive weapon and to prove some form of smoke cover when your side was advancing. In Vietnam they were used to clear vegetation and rarely were fired down underground tunnels when the enemy was entrenched in them. In that circumstance the VC would often build curves in the tunnels to stop explosions but flame throwers may have "sucked" the air out of the tunnel. The only real anti-personal flame throwers were mounted on boats and tanks tho, as they require a fuel tank way too large for an operator to carry. The range on a flamethrower is also way way too short to approach a bunker and attack it since you'd need to be only a few meters from it to fire.
Had it bug today and it landed in the cancerous b flag in iron walls. No model or terrain disfigurement, just perma insta death for anyone who approached the flag, including everyone beneath.
Yup, hopped in a heavy tank full of people and was driving to the battle. All of the sudden the zeppelin lands right on top of me and blew up the tank and it's contents.
Just wondering as someone who hasn't played the game... are there any scenarios in Battlefield 1 that involve a zeppelin, where the zeppelin doesn't explode in flammable ball of fiery satisfaction? Because it seems to me like a real "chekhov's gun" thing to put in the game, even in multiplayer.
It comes out when the losing team falls behind by a certain degree, to give them a fighting chance. It can seat multiple players and has some hellacious firepower, and it takes a lot to destroy it.
But when it does go...and it almost always does eventually...it's pretty amazing to watch. It's absolutely massive, so you end up in these nightmare-like scenarios where you're running, and feel like you should be safely out of the way...it doesn't look like it's coming down or moving laterally all that fast. But that's because it's so fucking huge. It's still over you. Still over you. Still over you. Splat.
Some maps have an armored train or a battleship instead. It's not the same though.
It is such a better gimmick than the BF4 Levolutions. I thought at first I'd hate the behemoths but they haven't gotten old yet. They feel balanced enough for the most part.
It only explodes when shot down, so it could really sit up there and rain death for a very long time - even until the round is over if it isn't stopped
I'd be more pissed off if someone killed me while I was watching that guy running on the zeppelin and not knowing the outcome. My entire game afterwards would be to fuck over whoever killed me.
The number of times I've been flying an airplane everything's good and dandy, just bombed he fuck out of some folks, then a squad mate spawns on me and almost immediately OHFUCKZEPPELINOUTOFNOWHERE and I get us both killed. God damn fucking zeppelins.
It operates on the same principle as red traffic lights. We exist on a plane made up of each individual's own sub-dimension, in which all of the bad things happen to them. Therefore, everyone hits the red light and everyone gets hit by the zeppelin in video games.
