  • You don’t seem very knowledgeable about the gun used in this situation.

    All articles about what was found on him kept mentioning a metal slide and barrel along with a regular Glock mag, that heavily implies it was just a 3d printed Glock lower so basically just a regular Glock. The only way it would “leave no special markings on the bullet” would be if he used a gun with a plastic barrel, but I believe the FBI said shortly after the og liberator was released that it leaves enough plastic behind to be traceable.

    In practice the gun is a regular Glock, that would be easily identified as not being legal in a few states. My guess would be that they weren’t getting rid of it because it’s still a perfectly serviceable firearm and he might have been planning on using it again or at least it probably seemed like a good thing to have when he was in fight or flight mode.

    If you really want to get rid of evidence the metal barrel is going to be the most important thing to get rid of as far as being linked to a shooting. Ghost gun is just bad in general unless you are in one of the states that says it’s fine



  • While I don’t know much about video cards, the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) is often called the first video card and had a couple of contenders for first that were either designed earlier or released at almost the same time in 1981 and were all for displaying text only. The first GPU card sold to the public was the GeForce 256 in 1999. I’m assuming there’s some in between that were not really used by the public that would have been used in movies and whatnot.

    The reason why nobody was selling GPUs before Quake was because quake was THE first 3D game. Doom and other games before Quake were 2.5D and didn’t have 3D models only sprites. Games before Quake essentially mimicked 3D while Quake IS 3D







  • Israel has had a very loose criteria for military targets if you take a look at recent history. I think you bring up a major point.

    Considering Netanyahu just said he would attack foreign aid for Palestine. Israel’s actions like the IDF sniping kids in convenience stores, and taking shots at the Japanese medical personnel during the cease fire of operation pillar of defense/cloud, and targeting media offices should call into question, what does Israel consider a military target?

    Learn to read in context.

    The context of your post is that Doom will run on anything, but it won’t run on Steam Deck.

    If I take everything you say out of context then well…

    Crisis (2007) is famously unoptimized and will indeed run on Steam Deck (on high settings too) if you use a fan made launcher.

    So your example of a game that runs on Steam Deck is an unsupported game. That won’t run after a fresh install.

    The difference between Crysis and the remaster is that the remaster is actually optimized and you can probably get it running on a lower end PC, while the OG Crysis can run as a slide show on some modern systems because it’s so unoptimized. When people say “But can it run Crysis?” they aren’t talking about the remaster.

    The Steam Deck compatibility on store pages is not a comprehensive list of games that will run on Steam Deck and that’s lame, but that’s not what you posted about

    Since you can’t figure it out on your own and are demanding to be right (without bing correct)

    Your post says it won’t run Doom. It will.

    Why have one that doesn’t actually communicate the status of a games playability? Why have a status called “Playable” and not use it to communicate that yes in fact the game can be played on a SteamDeck.

    I agree completely and would have if that was what you posted, instead you said

    Turns out the Steam deck WILL run Crysis but not Doom
