In very narrow cases, yes. If I remember, spread has a specific rate of fire which is fairly slow compared to flamethrower, so you can clear very specific targets faster with flamethower. Again, 99% of the time Spread is going to be better.
“Flamethrower” (the wavy path ball gun) is perfect for a couple parts of the game where you can lay down. You fire and ever shot hits, and you are never in the path of enemy bullets or mobs.
I’m guessing they’re probably familiar with large trucks so they knew what had to be done.
I know almost nothing about large trucks, but would assume I could just mash the brake pedal (probably with my hands because its faster than trying to climb into the occupied seat), and bring the truck to a stop. That would buy enough time for someone with large truck knowledge to secure it properly.
The immediate left is the lane of oncoming traffic (you can see this late in the video looking ahead). To the left of the oncoming trafffic lane is a meter or so of grass, then a drop off to a ditch. You can see the left tall grass early in the video.
Pull over on what? There was no shoulder.
What I’m taking from your posts is that you don’t like that people are liking and buying what you like, which is driving up the price. Additionally, a part of the people that are buying what you like, you don’t like the reasons they’re buying them.
I can’t figure out what you want done though.
What is different from in my post from what you’re trying to communicate?
I think that scarcity of art is a rather bourgeois thing,
Scarcity isn’t a bourgeois construct. There are a finite amount of originals in both famous Renaissance paintings and original releases of video games. Its a macroeconomic function. When there are fewer of an item that is in higher demand, the price rises.
that the more available art is to everyone the better.
I own zero Monet originals, but I have lithographs of them I quite enjoy. The fact that the original painting hangs at the Art Institute in Chicago doesn’t prevent me from enjoying the copy of it on my wall. Video games are even better as copies are perfect copies, always, and every time. The only thing you don’t get to have (without parting with the money) is the original ROM IC etched in 1996 or the original disc pressed in 1997.
Video games were always art the moment someone figured out how to make two pixels move across a screen.
Your view was not universally held with others in the early days of video games.
We don’t need to prove that to anyone.
Its not an effort one undertakes, its a measurable metric of acceptance in society. You can choose to ignore its significance, but not its consequence. Originals will be more expensive, especially the groundbreaking titles from decade ago.
Silent Hill 3 is literally my favorite horror game ever, and I will never be able to afford a copy, or even if I did have the money to spare I could never justify the absurd price. I will never own a legitimate copy of Megaman Legends, Pokemon Platinum, Rule of Rose, or so many of these games that I really do care about and want to be able to experience on authentic hardware.
Believe it or not I see this as a good thing. It means that gaming has arrived to a point of a undeniably maturity as art.
I certainly can’t afford a Picasso or Degas to hang on my wall. They are far too rare and too valuable for me to afford. Their value is established because of their rarity and quality for what they are.
The rest of us can buy cheaper lithographs to hang on our walls, just as we can still play the games…in copies in flash cartridges or in emulation.
Video games have taken the final step to arrive as art.
Wasn’t the VMU, from the start, already a portable handheld console? Sure it was just minigames, but thats the V in VMU. I remember playing the Skies of Arcadia minigame.
Dreamcast did have Memory Units that didn’t have the screen so they wouldn’t have been VMUs, but were still MUs. I appreciate the hack of a Pi Zero and a full color screen though. :)
Our neighbor friend had an Odyssey. Lots of fond memories playing it with them.
Peer reviewed science answer:
Foam Rolling for Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness and Recovery of Dynamic Performance Measures
Conclusions: Foam rolling effectively reduced DOMS and associated decrements in most dynamic performance measures.
I love it! Someone back then was VERY jealous and wanted their c64 to look like an IBM XT.
You could accomplish what you’re trying by putting the GPU in a second computer. Further, most UPSes have a data interface, so that you could have the GPU computer plugged into the UPS too, but receive the signal when power is out, so it can save its work and shutdown quickly preserving power in the UPS batteries. The only concern there would be the max current output of the UPS in the event of a power outage being able to power both computers for a short time.
Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing.
Did your mom buy your computer and hard drives? I doubt it. You spent your own money, right? So she’s giving you a whole bunch of stuff which is consuming your space. Quote out the cost of buying components for a separate server for her with her own drives. When she buys the parts, build her her own server and put her stuff on it.
While thats an awesome pile of storage, I weep for your electricity bill.
Pepsi, its the choice of a new generation (that is now staring down the barrel of retirement). But we’ll be taking our C64 with us. Retirement home Jumpman tournaments are gonna be awesome.
They will go through my past comments and posts, to use that content in abusive remarks towards me.
Doesn’t the “block user” feature solve this? Even if they say something you’d never see it once they’re blocked. Or are you saying they create new accounts for each new abusive post?
How about a ruggedized industrial Android phone?

I see price on Amazon US is $168
If you want really fancy features, the higher end model has a FLIR thermal camera built into it.
Can our elected officials just freaking decriminalize weed instead of worrying about dumb crap like this?
Apparently that is too “woke” an idea for Texas, and what doesn’t appear to be too “woke” for Texas is letting you, an adult, watch porn.
Back in the day (before third party hardware to do this) the only way to get Dreamcast online was to Dialup or the very rare and expensive broadband adapter.
Seeing as the Dreamcast shipped with a dial up modem, it was possble to set up your PC (also with a modem) and with a a couple of resistors, make a type of “dial up crossover cable”. You would set up your PC to “answer” the call from the Dreamcast, then route the traffic to the PCs broadband connection. Zero phone line needed!
