All right, another reddit thread!
Gavin Scott
That barrel needs a handguard unless he wants to burn the fuck out of his left hand holding it.
Brayden Foster
They help humanity rise again from the great flood but with morals and ethics this time.
Evan Walker
You would probably want to rest it on something
Brayden Clark
He's immune to the effects of afterburn. He resists all fire damage, but is severely weak to poison debuff.
Leo Moore
How hot do you imagine a revolver gets, user.
C'mon.
Oliver Morris
And after 1-6 rounds? I'd imagine it'd only be slightly warm.
John Nguyen
The barrel and firing cone get really fucking hot after enough shots. t. burned my fingers on mine a few times while practicing loading it faster.
Isaac Price
/k/ommando here, no it doesn't need it
Isaac Ward
Adversely, he has an ability to, once per turn, shift all of his muscle mass to his right arm and shoulder so that he can hold and fire the revolver with a single hand
Logan Adams
Carter Ross
He only reads VNs written by Ryukishi07.
Brody Bailey
Based and lovepilled
Jayden Scott
Cheers bro.
What in god's blue earth are those things, they look straight out of organization XIII.
Carter Wood
With a barrel that big, it's basically its own heat sink
Comfortably holding it at least halfway probably wouldn't even be warm
Julian Brown
who ever photoshoped this can probably make a career in horror movies holy fuck
Justin Harris
>With a barrel that big, it's basically its own heat sink
>Comfortably holding it at least halfway probably wouldn't even be warm
How do you explain shotgun and rifle barrels getting ultra hot after a bunch of rounds then?
Jack Lee

Logan Carter
Evan Kelly
>He thinks this is a shop
A-user...
Lincoln Carter
Are they Silicon Lifeforms?
Dylan Ward
There's a lot less metal, and especially a lot less surface area. Since the whole gun is one piece, it should have fairly decent heat transfer. Also, you can only shoot 6 times before reloading so that separates it pretty far from anything with a magazine, even if the rounds are stupidly high grain, like .500 magnum.
Justin Lee
what's the point of pistols with comically large barrels?
Parker Davis
Landon Peterson

>Cracks open and chugs a Monster

Jonathan Thompson
These are the five guardians of the natural elements.
>The Guardian of the Rain
Through constant hard work and determination, training by pumping his village's well pump 1,000 times, he has unlocked the ability to acquire torrents of water from the basins deep below the ground. Some say the Rain Guardian is able to bring about the end of the dry season by a wave of his cane.
>The Guardian of the Sands
Deep in the desert, the man who would soon become the Sand Guardian stumbled across an ancient relic of the past. Drinking from the flask granted him innate abilities, allowing him to traverse the dunes with great speed. Some believe sandstorms and dune cyclones are caused by the Sand Guardian's many travels through the desert.
>The Guardian of the Flora
Honing his skills as a master of botany and basket weaving, the Flora Guardian was able to bring a new age of vegetation to his home country. While many people believe he abuses his powers for monetary gain, others worship him as they have been blessed by his harvests countless times.
>The Guardian of the Flames
An ordinary goat and chicken butcher by day, shaman sleuth by night. The Guardian of the Flames seeks to find the one who took the life of his village's elder, in order to restore peace and order between the tribes. Bonfires across the continent show silhouettes of the Fire Guardian's face; some believe he is watching closely to see through your heart and judge your morals and ideals.
>「アフリカの神」- Kami no Afurika ( God of Africa )
The God of Africa himself. He is the original Guardian of the elements. He is light, he is dark. He is life, he is death. As the human race evolves, he watches over his creations as the cigar smoke slowly fades from his lips. Some believe that by the time his wristwatch reaches its origin point, Africa will be reborn from ash and bone once more.

Jordan Lopez
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day.
Brody Williams
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say.
Kayden Bailey
It's a manga called BLAME! By Tsutomu Nihei. The beginning is basically Samurai Jack / Road Warrior then plot thickens and the final arc is wild ride. Best cyberpunk manga ever visually aside from Alita.
Owen Cox

Jack Bell
>final boss kills himself
Wyatt Hernandez
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
Wyatt Perry
When it spins it will get very hot, or anything holding it will
Colton Hernandez
The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip.
Luke Turner
Yeah, it's amazing. Apart from the faces I'd say visually it leaves Alita in the dust.
And there's in-universe justification for the uncanny appearances, anyways.
Jason Gomez

PRANCIN' ABOUT WITH YOUR HEADS FULL OF EYEBALLS
Chase Rogers
It's a manga, not an anime. The only adaptation of it is atrocious, you should check it out, clearly you know nothing about cyberpunk, but there's far superior ones to Akira.
Jaxon Long
Fuck i need to finish this manga. I got like 3/4 of the way through and stopped for some reason. Thanks for reminding me.
Charles Russell

Fuck off faggot.
Christopher Rivera
Nathan Wilson
Aaron Diaz
Cheers, man. Enjoy.
The final chapter is one of my favorite parts.
Hunter Hughes
I'd be very surprised if you could even tell me what happened in the Akira manga. You have no arguments other then calling people zoomers, guess shit taste will do that to a person.
Austin Murphy
AH DIDN'T NEED YOUR HELP YEW KNOW
Grayson Hill
Exactly what i was thinking
Adam Flores
Leo Johnson
Aiden Kelly
Elijah Cook
YOU TELLING ME THOSE FEET ARE REAL?
What fucking prosthetic does that?
Ian Foster
Those are in fact, real people
Nathaniel Harris
Did he achieve heaven?
Landon James
WELLLLLLLLLLLLL
Chase Gutierrez
They're shoes, not even kidding. I think they're like over 200 dollars tho
Oliver Hall
Oh wow. The pink thing's toes are barely resting on the pavement. They aren't bearing much of its weight. That means whatever body modification it did to get the heel-spike is load-bearing.
I'm much more disgusted but at the same time impressed.
Juan Brown
Zachary Thomas
That's exactly what I thought. They don't look half bad for silicone life, either.
Christian Jackson
the kids play a more important part.
Akria is alive and whole.
They blow up a chunk of the moon giving it a ring.
Tetuso is not a tragic character at all. just a ranging junkie.

We'll never see something like BLAME ever again. Not even from Nihei himself. I'll cherish it, always.

Can I be apart of the crew?
Carter Diaz
what am I looking at?
Landon Rogers
>Cyber City Oedo
Holy shit I've never seen anyone else mention this before. A friend found a dvd of it like a decade ago and bought it on a whim and it turned out to be amazing.
Logan Clark
He did, even if it took oh so very, very long.
Killy had what was quite possibly the hardest life.
Brandon Nelson
Hudson Gray
>They're shoes, not even kidding.
YOU LI...mother of god.
Jonathan Miller
Is that one about a mechanized city that got out of human control and builds itself and the guy searches for a pure human that still holds the key to control it?
Nathaniel Wood
Juan Johnson
It's a classic in my books. It also has the greatest dub ever made, Ghost Stories be damned. Between it, Ninja Scroll, and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Kawajiri is one of my favorite directors.
All three OVAs have been uploaded on youtube, for any curious anons.

>Once your mind is rewired by Zenpai's omni multibyte combo-press input hacks, your sentience is now in jeopardy
>you are psychoactively bombarded with projections of his old mentor, Agent "Big" Sam
>Big Sam (pictured) transcended the physical realm and can only be interpreted in the 3rd dimension via motion tracking technology
>Total Zenpai guides Agent Sam through to the core of your consciousness so it can be absorbed
>It is said that Agent Sam's (played by Michael Ironside) gut stores the most cherished thoughts of his victims as a personal guarantee his enemies will die miserable, confused, and alone
Chase Flores
I hope you love MEGA STRUCTURES. Otherwise you can't compare it to Gantz but it's worth the read once you can settle down on the atmosphere and the lack of dialogue.
Asher Long
It's a pretty good read thusfar!
Michael Wood
With how fucked people are these days it wouldn't surprise me if this was real

Anthony Roberts

Not really plot or atmosphere wise, but the setting alone makes almost everything else look sane. The sheer sense of scale is unmatched.
Ayden King
>sub-species decide to fight you on land
James Green
It took Killy like 2000 years to travel all the way to where he is at the beginning of the manga right?
Angel Hughes
Five months ago, mysterious monsters called PHORIADYS that confuse communication between people and create illusions, physical or otherwise, descended on Japan, plunging it into great chaos. The country had to essentially close off all communications between other countries and between cities, as the Phoriadys travels via information. After six months, Japan had descended into chaos...
Enter MANJO MAKOTO, avid reader with an eidetic memory who had been in a coma for a year, and woke up during month four. Makoto learns of what happened to his beloved country, and is heart broken! Seeking to lose himself in literature, he sets out to his local bookstore, not knowing it would be closed as per the new curfew. Unfortunately for him, this would not be the peak of his troubles that night; aparrently, there’s nothing a Phoriadys loves to feast on more than someone with a photographic memory! A high level one attacks him and...merged with him? The monster is so thankful for the meal that she promises to grant him enough power blow away any other monster that comes for him, on two conditions; he never stop learning things, and he carry out his will in her glorious image.
Now, armed with the ability to recreate things from his memory and a monster who feeds off the virtual library in his brain, Makoto finds himself the only person who can restore Japan into the technological giant it once was. With the power of the PURI DRIVER, he’ll turn into the wholesome crossdressing hero, KAMEN RIDER SHOUJO and clean up Japan! ...Even if he’s not going to like wearing the mask. Or the rest of the outfit.

Easton Bailey

Wyatt Foster
The fight starts out with being swarmed by trash mobs, mostly to soften you up and chip you down so you'll use your items sooner than expected
The two on the left are weaker minibosses who exist to act as blockers for the boss's ranged attacks
The three on the right alternate between channeling a massive nuke and a full heal on the main boss
And of course they each come back with each phase
Benjamin Brown
Holy shit, is that the Demolition Man from Team Fort Night 2?

I'll probably nut if they can do the megastructure and silicon life encounters decently. Safeguards bosses would be the most intense shit.
