@HLC_actual @175Wpns I find it kind of funny that they designed the M16 Half Track to be close anti-aircraft cover for the infantry in World War 2; however, by the time D-Day rolled around, the Germans had like three functioning planes. So we just used it on everything else.
English
@175Wpns That’s an M45 quad mount .50. The primary lead slinger for ww2. Earned the nickname the “krautmower” and the “meat chopper” for its contributions in the battle of the bulge. Turns out you can literally mow an entire flanking SS battalion with one of those.
Grandpa was hard af

@HLC_actual ummm.... is that an Avenge system mounted on a Half Track? Is this photo shop or did your Air Defender boys do too many rip-its and were like "this is what we need." I need a professional ADA guy to help me here.
Craft Vories@VoriesCraft
ADA has the best toys. I will not be taking questions.

@Techfanferrum @The_Lord_Otter My point exactly. It won't be the first time that they've pulled the 'Hey! Remember that guy who did the thing that you liked? Well, he's back!' trick.
English
@RealRVanDusen @The_Lord_Otter Kinda the same camp. Modern production houses have a track record of shoe-horned garbage in their media. I want a good Conan and Tartakovsky has a good track record, but will the studio and staff cooperate?
English
"Will Conan be black or gay?"
Well, let's take a look at Primal, Genndy's last big ser- oh wait...

Nerdcognito@Nerdcognito
Amazon & Genndy Tartakovsky are rebooting Conan the Barbarian as an animated series. Another IP cash grab from a studio that can't create "new." They're slapping Tartakovsky's minimalist style onto a pulpy classic & hoping nostalgia carries it. Will Conan be black or gay?

@deshift1 @JDPilcher @The_Lord_Otter Ah, but they can be 'reimagined for the modern audience'. The original Conan stories would probably give the average Hollywood type these days an aneurism.
And they did try to reboot Conan with the 2011 movie (which was better than I expected).
English
@RealRVanDusen @JDPilcher @The_Lord_Otter Conan can't be "rebooted" when there's hundreds of his stories that haven't been told. The movie from the 80s was just one story told of Conan. This one is one we haven't seen on screen before if I'm not mistaken, which was during his piracy era.
English
@JDPilcher @The_Lord_Otter That may be true, but frankly, I've just watched so many IPs I loved being rebooted/reimagined/remade over the last decade and violated by Hollywood that I just expect it at this point. Sometimes they even bring in a fan favorite creator to lure viewers in.
English
@RealRVanDusen @The_Lord_Otter It's not made by them it's made by Cartoon Network Studios the same studio that made Primal
They brought the right to air it first
English
@AngryBootneck I'm saving my money for a physical copy. That way nobody can just Thanos snap the movie I bought and paid for out of existence. Because, let's face it, it's probably just a matter of time before this flick disappears.
English
Elons the man, he's doing the lord's work god bless him. I hope he tossed some cash at Werner though cos I was going to buy this fucker! 😂
Elon Musk@elonmusk
English
@rowlands_laws Or maybe after the first season's done and they've gotten people invested, like what I suspect they're going to do with Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (which is why I haven't bothered to watch it yet).
English
Yes, this is very cool. And Genndu Tartakovsky could do it very well. But Hollywood and tech-giant studios are still involved. Watch for Belit to be a girl-boss and Conan to be her dumb brute lapdog. Maybe not at first, but by episode 4.
DiscussingFilm@DiscussingFilm
First look at an animated ‘CONAN THE BARBARIAN’ series. Created by Genndy Tartakovsky.
English
@TArchcast I pretty much stopped buying video games because you don’t really own them anymore. $40-90 for something that will disappear the moment some arcane rights agreement runs out or someone just decides they need space for something else on the server?
No, thanks.
English
Levels of submissive obedience that would be found deeply unseemly in a BDSM flick....
English
@WatcherDamned Or if his name’s on the credits and advertising, but they don’t actually let him have much creative control. A variation on the trap I mentioned earlier.
English
@RealRVanDusen If they replace him with a drone then we'll know😭
English
@WatcherDamned Eh...pardon my cynicism, but it sounds like the old 'Hey! Remember that guy who did the thing you liked? Well, he's back!' trick just to sucker you in. Like Ridley Scott with Alien...or Shane Black with Predator...
I hope I'm wrong and it's awesome, but I smell a trap.
English
@RealRVanDusen I know that feel - but it's Genndy Tartakovsky 🥹Genndy would never hurt me...
right?
Right? 😭

A line from my current WIP:
For the first time he seemed to be really looking at her, and not just because she had nearly thrown a metal travel mug full of hot coffee at his head a few moments before.
Maybe a future entrant in the #BasedRomanceBookSale?🤔

@japan_nobunaga And, depending on the part of the North you're from, it's either "You guys" or "Youse guys". 🙂
English
Americans, teach me the North vs South thing 🇺🇸
I keep seeing jokes about:
• "y'all" vs "you guys"
• sweet tea vs unsweet 🧊
• who's "actually" friendlier
As a total outsider —
what's the REAL difference
between the American North and South?
Pick a side and defend it 🍿

@WatcherDamned Somehow, this will end up being America's fault.
Or climate change.
America's fault because of climate change?🤔

Please pray for our Friends in Venezuela and all around the Gulf 💔

BREAKING: Multiple structures have reportedly collapsed in Caracas, Venezuela, following a powerful earthquake that struck the region.
English
@The_Lord_Otter Pardon me if I'm not quite as excited as everyone else seems to be. Amazon is involved, after all.
English
@tmbsaddletramp @WatcherDamned Or a great many smaller ones...🤔

Y'all pray for Gracie the Giraffe - she's on the run!
Gunther Eagleman™@GuntherEagleman
A giraffe is missing here in Texas, and my question is simple… How in the world do you lose a giraffe? It’s basically a 16-foot-tall animal with its own built-in lookout tower. 🤣
English
@WatcherDamned @tmbsaddletramp Now I'm curious what Long Necked Horse tastes like.
Probably something like horse.
Not that I've eaten horse.
Or want to.
English
@tmbsaddletramp @RealRVanDusen Me torn between seeing Gracie as a girl living her best life🥹
and Gracie on a grill giving her best life🥺
