dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This will come in handy the next time I turn into a wolf and need to reload an AK.

95% chance this was made to convince a DM that a very specific scenario is feasible in a TTRPG.

Good thing it wasn't an AR platform, I don't think a wolf could operate the mag release button and pull at the same time.

This is relevant to my interests (dont ask why) im not a Wolf... I swear

last panel looks suspect. wolves should stick to platforms that have last round hold open.

Yeah I was thinking they might not have quite the strength or range to actually force the bolt back, it can be pretty hard to do that with hands.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

I'm not a wolfologist but both the type of fine motor skills to reinsert the magazine and the ear-scratch backwards rack bolt does not seem to be within the capability of the average or even a trained wolf

The main thing I'm thinking about is the fuckin grease and carbon and whatever the hell else the poor thing is getting in its mouth. Hands win again

Ask your human for help.

If no human, you can always just do this

good to know

And this is why the Kalashnikov is the superior 20th century all-purpose assault rifle.

I've read all 4 armies' unit descriptions 2 or 3 times now, the 3D printed elves in Land Warrior-era gear of the New Rygolic Host seem the coolest! Alas, I've never played a ttrpg besides some D&D campaigns abandoned a few hours in & everything in the text says how NRH is the hardest faction to play.

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm in basically the same boat as you. One of these days I'll try it on tabletop sim instead of just reading the lore.

My guess would be that NRH wouldn't be too much harder than the others. Like yeah your units do a lot, but since you don't have as many to micromanage, you can think more about each individual one.

[–] livestreamedcollapse@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Good point about manageability, the Rygonet feature is an interesting wrinkle & a microcosm of the larger TACOM mechanic.

I noticed the game is on Tabletop Simulator which seems like a low investment way to play (maybe online so no friends needed?) with all the rules already baked in!

Can this work for other predatory mammals?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Hmm this technique would work for large members of the cat family too I suppose? Very similar physically, a Cheetah could do the same thing.
