Tangent, but it seems like such a tough engineering challenge to keep all these models around and available at an instant


One is a consumer’s answer, the other one is a creator’s answer.

Makes sense, as these are the respective target audiences of the two communities.



Yes, you always have to dry your razor after use. Disposable or not, the hour or so it needs to dry is actually enough for razor blades to noticeably loose their edge. This is part of what makes razor blade manufacture hard - you have to use very hard steel that can hold an edge, but the harder the steel the more prone it is to oxidation aka rust.

Wow you're a meta-hipster - you were a hipster before it was cool. How ironic of you!

I think the gun is a real, physical object -- I mean, it even casts shadows on the user's arm. It's probably just the enemies, HUD and glowy, flashy special effects that are rendered in VR, and those should be more forgiving of slight positional inaccuracies.


Especially as it comes from Weta workshop who originally designed the weapon (https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Righteous_Bison) - if anyone has a physical copy it's them


WETA have been selling physical replicas of these weapons for years: https://www.wetanz.com/rayguns/


Funny, when I do the same thing I get a completely different response:

Yeah, the clue is in "Server: AkamaiGHost". The site is clearly behind some sort of anti-crawl protection which decides it doesn't like me. I think it would make sense to make an exception for exactly that file though.


To be fair, the word 'reflux' does have significant meaning outside the context of gastrointestinal disease. I agree some people might have unpleasant associations to the word, but for me this is the first thing that comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflux


I'm from Europe and this is news to me. The caucasus isn't in Europe, you know?


"The Caucasus or Caucasia is a region at the border of Europe and Asia"

"It is home to the Caucasus Mountains, which contain Europe's highest mountain, Mount Elbrus"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus

NB I've always thought of Europe stopping at the Urals, the Caucasus and the Bosphorus.
