We just wish we would have had a lot more trigger time. We were impressed with the weight, accuracy and the performance of the Double D ( Dual Drop system). ![]() Instead we were treated to a good couple of hours of trigger time in the desert. How does it carry? What’s the balance like? Is it rough around the edges? We like to bond with a firearm for a little while before we run it through its paces on the range. We did not have the luxury of playing with the BAMF for a week or two. you can release the bolt with the thumb of your shooting hand.Ĭobalt Kinetics BAMF Rifle The Reality Cobalt Kinetics BAMF Rifle – muzzle While still grasping the pistol grip, keeping your rifle on target, etc. They turned out to be the company’s take on a revolutionary new bolt drop and it’s ambidextrous. “It’s not what it seems,” came the answer with a flashy grin. We will save the rest of our thoughts on that old school innovation for another article, but we asked Cobalt, “why in the name of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, do you need two of those things?” Back when Jesus was hanging doors, the author was one of the first Roman Legionnaires, um I mean US Marines, who was issued an M16A2 service rifle, a key feature being the forward assist. We noticed what appeared to be dual forward assists on the upper receiver. ![]() The Cobalt Kinetics BAMF Rifle has a unique look that conjures up images of The Transformers, Voltron, Shogun Warriors, Manga and Anime, yet would still look right at home on the set of The Expendables 4. This is not your father or grandfather’s AR, and it only bears a passing resemblance in function over the M-16 used to slog through the rice paddies of Southeast Asia half a century ago.

![]() ![]() "But I'm sure you did a rigorous cost-benefit analysis to arrive at that 70% target" Having a rough view of what direction your going is a much safer and strategic plan. Plan from getting from A To B first, NOT A-Z. "but how can you be sure what you're doing is really beneficial in the long run?"īecause what is the point of planning to fly, when you cant even get off the ground? This is the oldest flaw in any long-term investment, its also the easiest to avoid. We make sure were communicating and giving hope to the 30% of people we did not reach out to. There's no negative input because the game is optimized to function properly, Keeping consumers pleased and excited for future releases. "Basing your development around avoidance of negative input" For example when we Release a patch, we make sure the game is completely optimized for near enough 70% or more of our core audience's PCs before release, So we dont get bombarded with negative replies and disrespectful comments.īasing your development around avoidance of negative input may make you and your community feel good, but how can you be sure what you're doing is really beneficial in the long run? The more time you spending optimizing each patch for the sake of the 70%, the longer the 30% have to wait for you to finally optimize for them.īut I'm sure you did a rigorous cost-benefit analysis to arrive at that 70% target, and keep detailed metrics so you can know how meeting it is affecting your release timeframe. here really is no "Stages" towards this, you can improve the quality of the game on any spectrum to please and provide evidence towards community engagement and commitment towards furthering an end goal. Pretty old by todays standards yet I can get 60 fps easly in 7dtd with a few effects disabled which you hardly even notice (lens flares as the player is not a camera, blur and motion blur as I hate the effects), at 1920x1080 res, with reshade on top of it.īeing part of a team of Indie game developers myself, I call BS on this. Op: whats your pc specs? Here's mine: i5-7500, 24 gb ram, geforce 1070 gtx. I mean WAY later, once I got str and fort done I may consider it as a after thought mainly as I don't have much else to use points on. ![]() I like the pistol, but agility is mostly useless for me, so its a waste of points to get agi just for pistols. This way is better because lets be honest it sucks that weapons are tied to stats. If we applied the a17/18 perks to it, as you leveled say sledgehammers, at 20 skill you get level 2 of the perk, (which is 3 stat in game in a17/18) which lets you craft tier 3 sledgehammers. ![]() It has learn by doing for: weapon types, athletics (running, jumping etc) and for mining tools. The darkness falls mod has a great learn by doing system that also has a class system where each class gets unique bonuses and things only they can craft. I sitll feel a16's skill system was the best overall it just needed some tweaks, like removing craft quality from being tied to a skill. That said the devs of 7dtd do a bit of optimization every single alpha, my biggest complaint is the devs don't seem to have any idea what they want the game to be, as it often for the longest time changed drastically between each alpha. Even minecraft was known as a major resource hog and it looked like complete crap compared to 7dtd graphically. Voxel games use massivly more resources than non-voxel games even if they look like crap. I dunno, a18 is running the best the game ever has for me, so I am pretty happy, mind you even in way past alpha's I still had 60 fps usually. I'm not sure what you're getting at is it running slow for you or something else? ![]() ![]() Guns are really only effective vs humans and almost (maybe always, don't remember) all guns 1-shot with a headshot making an assault rifle ideal against humans despite the lower damage value. İlk olarak Xengre tarafından gönderildi:Despite the high damage value on a shotgun it is, sadly, worthless. It is instant kill and you can literally walk up to a zombie/volatile and snap the neck, use its guts for camo refresh, walk to the next, repeat. The camoflauge ability is superb for killing Volatiles with the neck snap attack (assuming you can still do this in single player? didn't work last time I tried. You definitely want a good number of molotovs or exploding throwing stars and ammo for dealing with spitters so you don't have to leave your safeish spot to deal with them. If you aren't getting enough enemies you may have to shoot your gun every now and then to lure them. If possible you want to do it until the morning. You could bring even MORE flares if you want to toss them every now and then behind you to cover your back and you want some for throw down to bide time to repair weapons as this will consume them quite fast. Volatiles will get knocked down due to this as they reach you rendering them not a threat even if they aren't dying from your attacks (do this long enough at night and might even eventually kill a number of volatiles in the process). If you want to level you could spam Molotovs on regular mobs, throwing stars, or play a lot at night.Īt the extreme you could bring a bunch of flares and your strongest weapons, find somewhere the enemy has to climb to reach you but is safe from the back side (possibly a climb spot or wall) and just shoot a gun, and swing as they climb up. ![]() Not much point in rushing to level combat due to the fact that it only really helps against specials (not volatiles) since even at max level you still really aren't intended to regularly fight volatiles nor do many situations ever call for it (missions tend to be set up so you can run from them to complete it). i unlock the hook but i havnt recieved it yet because im in a different part of the game, i dont think there is any quartermaster hereĭespite the high damage value on a shotgun it is, sadly, worthless. when i was a lower lvl i did wait until dawn but i couldnt keep up because when i would stop to hit him and the zombies would grab me and he would get away again. They're also attracted to fireworks, so you could also use explosives. Shotgun may be effective too, but I haven't ♥♥♥♥♥♥ one yet to try it. Melee is very tricky, you're better off with an assault rifle. The only drawback to this method is you don't get the night time XP bonus.Īt night, your best bet are UV flairs and fence traps around the Tower. If you're at level 13 you should have the grappling hook by now which can help cover distances fairly quickly. They offer almost no resistance except when you're right in their face and they swipe at you, otherwise they are just trying to run away. They're quick, but if you keep them in your sights you can chase one down and eventually corner them and attack them. When dawn breaks, all the volatiles scatter to hide from the sunlight. İlk olarak ChronicIntel tarafından gönderildi:An easy way to kill a volatile is to wait until dawn. ![]() ![]() I ain't gonna cuss you out, i'ma show you to the do' ![]() I know he down there but i ain't even seen him It's been 20 minutes, has this nigga stopped breathing?

If you already know every scale and every timing you’ve got nowhere to go. I want to keep learning as we go on and progress. So what, professional is safe and boring. I mean, we recorded in a shitty basement on thirty-year-old gear while we were all fucked up. The band aren’t afraid to face accusations of sounding amateurish: “I guess I’d have to agree with them. Then we’d score more babes, it would be like heaven. And we’d get paid, and that mean more drugs and studio time. I would love all the little drones in the world buying jeans while listening to Psychedelic Horseshit. Yeah, but would Psychedelic Horseshit do a Levi’s ad? “For sure, I’m really into using the media in weird subversive ways. That song is about all of us as far as I’m concerned, we’ve all got a little new wave hippie in us and it’s sad but its also kinda the times and its where we go onward from” Thematically the song feels poised and aimed: “Lots of people think I was being really specific and they wanna know who it’s about, like I’d actually written the song about someone. It’s over in a couple of minutes, Matt’s vocal snarls over cheap Casio beats and that gnarly, scrappy and multi textured distortion so beloved of the band. Recent single New Age Hippies does feel kind of concise. They’re really into all that DIY stuff, we lean more towards My Bloody Valentine and hip-hop. They write really concise pop songs, we write really messy drug songs. Yet despite a close respect the two bands (both signed to Siltbreeze) have for each other, Matt is keen to illuminate the difference: “It takes a seasoned pair of ears to get past the distortions I know, but once you do it’s easy to see that TNV and Horseshit are galaxies apart musically. Like fellow blues extremists Times New Viking, Psychedelic Horseshit are being labeled as something called Shitgaze. We should’ve gotten some jackass like Phil Collins to mix it, then people would really love us.” I guess it doesn’t show, it’s like way unlistenable you know. We recorded the whole thing in like four to five days over the course of four months and then spent like forever mixing the thing. “We got real high and sometimes drunk and a little bit of acid for perspective. Singer/guitarist Matt Whitehurst is telling me about how the early Fall/Dinosaur Jnr meets swamp racket of the Columbus, Ohio band’s debut album Magic Flowers Droned came to be. To which my friend Sara replied ‘Yeah, like Psychedelic Horseshit.' The rest is history.” “I was like ‘I’m gonna start a band of non-musicians, I’m talking 15 people, and we’re just gonna get up there and jam’. ![]() ![]() Hamm and Forgione write for the Los Angeles Times. ![]() Support our coverage by becoming a digital subscriber. A January ruling by the National Labor Relations Board sided against SuperShuttle drivers at Dallas-Fort Worth airport who were looking to unionize. The company’s demise comes less than a year after it won a labor victory that made it easier to classify its drivers as independent contractors rather than employees. SuperShuttle’s website shows that the firm provided service to more than 80 airports worldwide, including those in Southern California, before the firm began suspending services in many locations. Officials at Blackstreet could not immediately be reached for comment on SuperShuttle’s suspended services or on how SuperShuttle’s services are divided between company-owned operators and franchisees. Blackstreet describes itself as specializing in acquiring small or mid-size firms “that are in out-of-favor industries or are undergoing some form of transition.”īlackstreet acquired SuperShuttle in September from Transdev on Demand Inc., which is part of the Transdev Group of France, according to a lawsuit Transdev filed against Blackstreet this month in Delaware Chancery Court in a dispute over some terms of the transaction. SuperShuttle is owned by an affiliate of Blackstreet Capital Holdings, a private investment firm based in Bethesda, Md., court documents show. The company stopped operations at Hollywood Burbank Airport at the end of November, terminating the contract with the airport’s authority, airport spokeswoman Lucy Burghdorf wrote in an email Thursday. The California Public Utilities Commission said the service was out of compliance with state regulations. SuperShuttle ran into problems before the Thanksgiving holidays at LAX, suspending operations there because of an issue with insurance. The letter to the franchisee cited “a variety of factors” for the company’s closure, “including increasing costs and changes in the competitive and regulatory landscape” that “have called into question the economic and operational viability of the company’s operations.” ![]() The number of Uber and Lyft trips, meanwhile, more than doubled. Trips on LAX’s FlyAway buses also sank by two-thirds during that time taxi trips fell 39% and courtesy shuttles to car rental facilities, parking lots and hotels saw a 20% decline. At LAX, shared van rides plunged by two-thirds in the first half of this year compared with the first half of 2016, the first full year that Uber and Lyft operated there, according to city data. In November, Lyft, Uber and taxis were relegated to a pickup lot next to Terminal 1 travelers can either walk there or wait for an airport shuttle to ferry them.īut shared van services such as SuperShuttle have been hit hard since the advent of ride-hailing services. SuperShuttle is one of the few services that can still pick up riders curbside at LAX after the airport’s recent changes to help ease congestion. But two SuperShuttle reservations agents reached by telephone confirmed that the company was going out of business, as did a company executive who was not authorized to speak publicly. SuperShuttle executives could not be reached for official comment. 31.Īttempts to reach Mark Friedman, identified as general manager in the letter’s signature line, were unsuccessful Thursday. In recent weeks it has pulled out of airports serving many cities, including Burbank, Sacramento, Phoenix, Baltimore and Minneapolis.Ī Tuesday letter from the company to a Los Angeles-area franchisee, obtained by The Los Angeles Times, says: “SuperShuttle plans to honor all reservations and walk-up requests for service” through Dec. The company, born in 1983 to serve Los Angeles International Airport, has been plagued by competition from Uber and Lyft. SuperShuttle, the shared van ride that has served passengers heading to and from airports nationwide, including Los Angeles International Airport, as well as in Latin America, Canada, Europe and Asia, will cease operations at the end of the year. ![]() ![]() Note: Pinned colors only show up if the current paletteĬontains them.Hamburger menu icon and select to 'Configure' it, and check / uncheck To choose the pinned colors' size, click on the palette bar's.To 'unpin' a color, right-click on the pinned color's field and select 'Unpin color'.The color will then be moved awayįrom its original location in the palette to the palette start.

When asked why they were there, members of the crowd threatened journalists and claimed the media were not telling the truth about immigration. People smashed store windows and set off fireworks, turning the night air acrid. At the other end, by O’Connell Bridge, flames rose from the remains of a bus and a car. On Thursday night a helicopter hovered overhead as police in riot gear used shields and batons to clear a crowd down O’Connell Street, Dublin’s main thoroughfare.

Harris said it was too early to ascribe a motive. However, at an evening press conference Harris said: “I have never ruled out any possible motive for this attack … all lines of inquiry are open to determine the motive.” He praised the bystanders who intervened in what he said was a traumatic and dangerous incident.Įarlier on Thursday, Geraghty said officers were keeping an open mind in terms of the investigation but were “satisfied there is no terrorist link”. Supt Liam Geraghty appealed to anyone with information about the incident, including mobile phone footage of the attack and its aftermath, to come forward. ![]() A five-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl were treated for less severe injuries. The girl was receiving emergency medical treatment. Police said a five-year-old girl, a woman in her 30s and a man in his 50s sustained serious injuries. The incident happened at about 1.30pm on Thursday outside a school, Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire. Police detained a man in his 50s, who was also being treated for injuries, and said they were not seeking other suspects. The violence broke out after three young children and a woman were attacked in Parnell Square East in the north of the city centre. The garda commissioner, Drew Harris, said a “complete lunatic faction driven by far-right ideology” was behind the disorder. The Irish justice minister, Helen McEntee, labelled the scenes “intolerable” and said a “thuggish and manipulative element must not be allowed to use an appalling tragedy to wreak havoc”. Gardaí remained on patrol in the city centre, he said, adding: “Dublin city centre is now calm and returning to normal.” However, he said no serious injuries had been reported by gardaí or members of the public. In a video statement on social media, Ch Supt Patrick McMenamin said some members of the police force had been attacked and assaulted.
