I had this game as a kid and used to play it for HOURS. As an adult I learned about how infamous it was so I went back and tried to play it, and oh man, those hit boxes, basically playing as anyone other than shaq in the game means you’re going to lose.

Russian Bardische
- Dated: 17th/18th century
- Measurements: Head 77.8 cm. Overall length 176 cm
The head of the bardische is formed as a long flat knife-like blade with convex cutting edge. The base is drawn out to a flattened prong attached to the haft, pierced with two series of circular holes following the strongly dished contours of the back edges. The latter was additionally decorated with small panels of cusped ornament in the upper half. The short socket is retained by four nails along the back while an iron cap nailed over the top: on its original faceted wooden haft, flattened and widening below the socket and carved with a double projection on the leading edge towards the base.

3d Printers don’t mean that suddenly “anyone can make a gun”
they mean that now white libertarian college students can make guns. Just like ANYONE WHO HAS ANY EXPERIENCE IN METAL WORKING.
I could literally build you a submachine gun with the right tools and some sheet metal and pipe, and so could anyone else who has any knowledge of how firearms operate. Don’t get me wrong, 3d printed polymer guns are cool as hell in theory, but it’s by far the most circuitous route you could possibly take to obtain a gun.
Quasi interesting fact about me: there’s a huge David Bowie poster right next to my computer, everytime I look up I see him staring wistfully into the distance.
