    Capitalism is wonderful.  Capitalism also produces a number of metabolic byproducts.

    Akula_941 reacted to Sturgeon in The Worm Thread   
    I am not sure how we have not had a thread for this yet, considering that several members of the Nobility are huge fans of this serial.
     
    Worm is an epic* dark fantasy superhero web serial by "wildbow" (pseudonym for John McCrae), which follows the story of Taylor Hebert, a victim of bullying who manifests the lamest superpower: Bug control. The story has been finished since 2013, and totals nearly 1.7 million words. It was followed by Pact and Twig, which are in different universes and are also welcome topics in this thread, as well as Ward starting late last year, which is the sequel to Worm.
     
    Worm is one of the greatest pieces of fantasy fiction ever written, both in scale and in the quality of writing. It is, in my opinion, the single best work of superhero fiction ever published, leading the rest by a very wide margin. So let's talk about it.
     
    Starting off, I was recently introduced to We've Got Worm (WGW), which is a podcast discussing the serial (and Ward, as We've Got Ward). I have listened to about 15 minutes of it at this point, but I am told it's very good.
     
    *Epic in the classical, rather than dudebro, meaning.

    We now have more information on this matter.  Further EM-2 content is incoming soon(ish).
     
    In the meantime, have a picture:


     
    This is rifle number nine of batch number three, which according to the Collector's Grade book on the EM-2 was Stephan Jansen's personal rifle.  This picture was taken mere minutes before some absolute idiot tried to demonstrate how the firing pin shroud cams the locking flaps out, not realizing that this would cause the locking flaps to lock in the outward position so that the bolt would not fit back into the rifle.

    Akula_941 reacted to LoooSeR in Communist tracked boxes with pancake turrets: don't you dare to confuse GLORIOUS T-80 battle tank with Kharkovite T-64 tractor that doesn't work.   
    Hello, my friends and Kharkovites, take a sit and be ready for your brains to start to work - we are going to tell you a terrible secret of how to tell apart Soviet tanks that actually works like GLORIOUS T-80 and The Mighty T-72 from Kharkovites attempt to make a tank - the T-64. Many of capitalists Westerners have hard time understanding what tank is in front of them, even when they know smart words like "Kontakt-5" ERA. Ignoramus westerners!
     
     
       Because you are all were raised in several hundreds years old capitalism system all of you are blind consumer dummies, that need big noisy labels and shiny colorful things to be attached to product X to be sold to your ignorant heads and wallets, thats why we will need to start with basics. BASICS, DA? First - how to identify to which tank "family" particular MBT belongs to - to T-64 tree, or T-72 line, or Superior T-80 development project, vehicles that don't have big APPLE logo on them for you to understand what is in front of you. And how you can do it in your home without access to your local commie tank nerd? 
     
     
       Easy! Use this Putin approved guide "How to tell appart different families of Soviet and Russian tanks from each other using simple and easy to spot external features in 4 steps: a guide for ignorant western journalists and chairborn generals to not suck in their in-depth discussions on the Internet".
     
     
     
    Chapter 1: Where to look, what to see.
     
    T-64 - The Ugly Kharkovite tank that doesn't work 
     
       We will begin with T-64, a Kharkovite attempt to make a tank, which was so successful that Ural started to work on their replacement for T-64 known as T-72. Forget about different models of T-64, let's see what is similar between all of them.
     
     
     

     
     
       
     
     
    T-72 - the Mighty weapon of Workers and Peasants to smash westerners
     
       Unlike tank look-alike, made by Kharkovites mad mans, T-72 is true combat tank to fight with forces of evil like radical moderate barbarians and westerners. Thats why we need to learn how identify it from T-64 and you should remember it's frightening lines!
     

     
     
     
    The GLORIOUS T-80 - a Weapon to Destroy and Conquer bourgeois countries and shatter westerners army
     
       And now we are looking at the Pride of Party and Soviet army, a true tank to spearhead attacks on decadent westerners, a tank that will destroy countries by sucking their military budgets and dispersing their armies in vortex of air, left from high-speed charge by the GLORIOUS T-80!
