Tbf, military grade just means the minimum viable quality for military gear to work. It isn’t super strong or quality material. It’s a buzz word that sounds good but is actually quite shit lol

When reporters asked (Alan) Shepard what he thought about as he sat atop the Redstone rocket, waiting for liftoff, he had replied, 'The fact that every part of this ship was built by the lowest bidder.'

A-fuckin’-men. I’d be thinking about that too 🤣 It’s a disgusting way to build sensitive, high stress tools and tech.

There was a war movie and in one scene they were handing out gear to the troops and one guy was like “Is there anything good?” or something along those lines and someone responded “It’s from the Army, NOPE!” And to this day whenever I think about it I chuckle a bit.

MIL specs for steels are very particular in some regards. There's a reason armor plate is used far beyond the original application.

And then there’s minecraft, where you can break them with your bare hands

And there's factorio where you can build a tank that makes them crumble like dried leaves

Spidertron conga line goes NUKE

Love filling my Spidertron with nukes and sending them to do a Hiroshima on those biters., a bit costly though

Well I mean if course you can. You can (disregarding nested shulker boxes) lug around around up to 2,368 cubic meters of fucking basalt. That weighs over 3600 metric (over 4,000 freedom units) tons.

You can carry the same amount of solid gold blocks

Me: This is my MIRV in Fallout; it fires a salvo of mini nukes that can vaporize everything in a quarter kilometer radius.

No physics means no collision

[–] shootwhatsmyname@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Are there any games where trees have actual physics?

I drove a Tiger Tank and it was stopped by a small picket fence.

The French could've saved so much money on the Maginot line, and could've had a very nice garden-like aesthetic if only they had known the potential of the small, white picket fence

This annoyed me so much in watch dogs
