Curious_Canid, do edc w Multitool
@Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca avatar

If you eventually buy another you should look at the Knifeless Rebar. You lose the blade, which you carry separately, but gain scissors.

fujiwood,

Honestly, that’s an interesting idea. I don’t really like collecting but if I ever had to buy another one that could be an option.

I always carry at least one good knife too. I’ve been pleased with the Knifeless Rebar as a companion tool.

My main multitool these days is a Leatherman Free P4, but I replaced both blades with other third-party tools (from ZapWizard).

Nogami,

What is the quality of the 3rd party tools like? I’d be interested in the scalpel holder and the bit holder. I don’t need the Free P4 saw ever so replacing it would be just fine.

The tools are 3D printed in metal. The designs are excellent and the tools work quite well. I’ve been using them for at least six months and haven’t had any problems.

I got the bit holder, the T-Shank saw blade holder, and the scalpel holder. They more than make up for what they replaced, except for the blades. Since I always carry both a plain edge and a serrated blade, it’s all a trade up.

ZapWizard was also very helpful.

I just got this exact one. I had to oil it up a bit because it was really stiff but now it works great. I ditched the huge sheath it came with and bought the og leather one on ebay. I wear it on my belt and it’s so compact that i hardly notice that it’s there.

9/10: would buy again but I’ll probably never have to.

fujiwood,

I had the same problem. The oxide makes it gritty and stiff so I also added oil. Luckily, just by using it over time most of the moving parts are smooth. I agree that I’d probably also buy it again. It fits my main needs perfectly.

I love leatherman stuff but I just know, myself, i’m gonna leave it on site one day. I haven’t seen the rebar before it’s really nice.

fujiwood,

Leaving behind a tool is never a good day. Especially when you don’t notice untill the next time you need it!

Hate to say it, but it’s because it’s fun. I haven’t played in ages but despite it not being my kind of game (I’m usually a fallout kind of guy), I really loved playing through it. I enjoyed it enough that when the next one comes out, I’ll likely finally buy a current gen console.

Rozz,

So instead you like going on a mission, getting distracted and killing a bunch of people/ghouls/irradiated creatures and managing inventory ( I do too).

Yep! Something’s obviously wrong with me :)

Pretty sure Minecraft was the most profitable game of all time.

And you can be that reductive for pretty much all games. Run right and jump on mushrooms. Watch shapes rotate and fall. Punch cubes. Three of the other most profitable games of all time.

ech,

Minecraft is the highest selling game (beating out GTA V by 110 million units sold source), but it’s not the most profitable. GTA does have it beat there ($9.9 billion vs $3.3 billion). Though CoD has them both beat at $31 billion (source).

havokdj,

CoD as a FRANCHISE beats them both, but you have to keep in mind that metric for GTA V and Minecraft are indeed, for single video games.

ech,

That’s true (to be even more precise, the GTA metric is also for the franchise…which GTAV makes up $8.5 billion of >.>). How about Candy Crush at $20 billion?

Turns out every game sounds bad if you purposefully describe it badly.

agressivelyPassive,

I mean, this is the essence of 95% of GTA missions. Just like 95% of RPG missions are a variation of clear dungeon, kill boss, retrieve item.

Lmaydev,

The key is making the dungeon/boss fun. The quests are just to lead you through the content.

If you don’t like fighting through dungeons and fighting bosses then the game may not be for you.

Like with GTA getting to places needs to be enjoyable.

ech,

And taking out 99% of the rest of the game built around the basic skeleton structure makes it sound bleak and boring.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

“clear dungeons, kill boss, retrieve item” is just “go from a to b, kill x at b, go from b to c”

fidodo,

Platformers are just running and jumping towards the right and repeating.

Alexstarfire,

Old school ones. Anything half modern lets you go left as well.

fidodo,

But the goal is always to the right (counting metroidvanias as their own genre)

Alexstarfire,

Not really. Super Meat Boy is a platformer and definitely isn’t always to the right.

Same thing with i want to be that guy

funkless_eck,

super metroid final boss is left

Honytawk,

Super Mario’s boss is right.

Both sides are equally bad.

Y’all haven’t experienced pain until you come across dogs in The Last of Us 2. The sounds the dogs make if you don’t kill them with a headshot are the worst part of the game and I’m not exaggerating. And then it’s owner will start wailing over its body. If you kill the human, the dog will start whimpering over its owners body. I played the pacifist on those levels cuz it was that bad.

Gnnn can’t watch the video I want to discover it myself, demo downloading now

This. Playing Far Cry and when you shoot the dogs, which you basically have to do, they make this little whine sound and it's heartbreaking. :(

I mean, they'd absolutely tear out your spleen, but still.

Never seen a dog in a video game only polygons and pixels that try to look like one. Never a issue.

Games and real life are not the same. If you can’t disconnect and understand the difference you have a real problem.

DarkDarkHouse,
@DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

For sure they are different, but you know that your brain putting the experience together as having qualities of dog and reacting emotionally is normal and by design. Never cried while watching a film? Boy, those things are so fake.

@iterable@sh.itjust.works avatar

A dog in a film is a real dog. It is a living breathing animal and should be cared about. If it cgi then again pixels don’t care.

Username reminds me of a Bash.org quote:

SABDO: on one of those speech-to-text programs my friend ripped ass onto the mic.

SABDO: and it typed out “France”

SABDO: we were like, wtf?

So glad Bash.org got archived!

toynbee,

There’s an archive?! My life just got a lot better.

MonkderZweite,

Just learned that safety standards in Star Wars suck and almost every mc falls down a hole at least once.

At least Vice City had fun missions like dropping bombs in trashcans with the world’s most fickle RC helicopters

pfannkuchen_gesicht,

“fun”… yeah, not exactly a word I’d use to describe that mission.

otp,

Not sure if they fixed it in the PC port, but I enjoyed it when I played it last. I think I failed the mission only once, if at all?

I imagine they reduced the number of enemies or their aggro range, or raised the timer by a ton

HappycamperNZ,

I suckered at that mission.

Yet went great flying helicopters later.

Would try again

OfficerBribe,

That’s San Andreas. I loved all their missions and even though they also could be reduced to only, driving, flying and shooting they all felt distinct and memorable.

Invading Madd Dogg’s mansion and stealing lyric book and delivering it back OG Loc who had a party in your hood was fun. Stealing jetpack for a hippy, burying alive someone in construction site while they are in portable toilet, doing heists with Catalina, all that was fun.

I can’t seem to recall a single GTA 4 or 5 mission / moment truly memorable besides the line “Causin, let’s go bowling”. Maybe it’s all related to when I played SA and probably my memory was better then.

PaulieDied,

Your memory may indeed be a bit flaky, because that mission (demolition man) is quite definitely from Vice City :)

I agree with the sentiment of your post though

OfficerBribe,

Thought you meant New Model Army mission which also feature RC heli, bombs and barrels :)

I remember not knowing how to activate magnet and thinking that mission is impossible.

You’ve just described nearly all action, adventure, and shooter games.
