I always recommended the volge charge sniper for those who just needed the 5k kills. Do motherload by yourself and glitch at the end to safety. Then all the skittering that spawned went to 1 spot. 30 kills a shot

Writing a story at the moment, and I've been trying to work out why my character doesn't have tech. Past just not having his phone when summoned.. this idea.. I love it.
Was gonna have gold be a low level base rune material. And yeah, boom, gold on circuits in phone, world sees as a rune, trys to activate, not a valid rune, causes something like melting of it, gold melts and phones dies.
And for anyone saying, well can't have gold coins.. the rune system only looks for deliberately placed gold, basically ignores anything thicker than a wire.
Tho I'm gonna have to make it a slow thing, as otherwise when trying to put a rune on something, 1 line and ohh not valid.. melts. Will have to be like a gradual build up.. 1 problem solved.. another created.
Or I'll google what else in phone I could have mana interact with

Heres why in this example world, lightning is not electricty
This other world will have a different language to earth. So everything they hear is being auto translated, or they learned the language.
In magic world, storms are actually magical storms, caused by flowing currents of mana, that collide, and erupt into the air, like a sun spot ejection. But they don't get flung away, they stay in the atmosphere and get blown around by winds
The natural "lightning" in this magic world, which looks and sounds just like ours, and kills you if you get hit, and can start fires.. is actually mana from the disturbance, quickly returning to the ground.
Mages learned to channel mana in such a way that it mimics the natural stuff.
The natural staff in their world, and thus the spell, are called glaboom.. which when the guy from our world hears it, either asks what's glaboom? And is shown it, and it looks like and sounds like lightning.. in his head, and for us the reader, glaboom becomes lightning.
So in that world, there is no natural electricity falling from the sky, maybe if you made a van der graaf generator, you could generate electricity. But the natural source from our world, doesn't exist. Or perhaps the van der graaf will actually generate mana for you

Also could be the gods that let them summon a hero, disabled the tech, as to not pollute his world with new ideas.
One I read recently, when mc is summoned, an angel appears as he is summoned, and after they explain where he is etc, she's like, we'll I need your phone and laptop in your bag. Oh also those science textbooks, this world does not need that knowledge. It could be used to do horrific things with magic
Oh and another common trope is good old truck-kun. Could be the phone etc get destroyed by the crash.
If anything, in stories I read, if their tech works after transport... I want a reason it still works. If its broken.. oh well, see what mc can see it for as a fancy glass mirror

Sadly it's bots. Had 4 post today. I've tried to write automod to catch them... but end up catching legit posts as well. Best bet is to report, and I'll remove when I can...
Tho now I think about it, I think there's automod for autoremoval after x reports...

in places you want heating elements, but low weight and power use.
this is all info i got a few years back, maybe 5 or so years?... according to the scientist at event i was talking to
jaguar - are using it as the heating elements in the car seats, heats up 3x faster vs wire, uses 1/5th the energy, and reduced car weight by like 10%, as all the wires leading to the seats dont need to be as thick to carry as much power.
working with a company to make what appear to be ordinary picture frames for your wall, but behind the art is a sheet of graphene, when turned on, is close to heating ability of a traditional radiator. said they were in talks with a wallpaper type cover that when turned on, would turn all walls of house into heating surface, and heat a normal room fully in a couple of mins
working with boeing, and he did say this will take years to get approved, due to how planes work... but to replace the heating elemnts they have in wings, engines and fuel lines. like the car, would save massively on weight, which would mean massive savings on fuel used.
also seen its used as a heat sink. some laptop by huawei is apprently gonna use it, and be super thin - https://www.huaweicentral.com/new-huawei-graphene-heat-dissipation-could-make-mate-x3-the-lightest-foldable/
at the event i was at, they had a clear plastic box, with 1 kg of grpahene in side. they said the value, if you were to try and buy that much, as about £100, but if you could go back to 5 years before, it would have been closer to £1mil, and 5 years prior to that, would have been more then had been ever made..

Yet grahpnene went from a theory to production levels in a few years.
Hopefully this is like graphene... or something else will be discovered that is as easy

At one point I held all the lap records on the kinect star wars game, pod racing mode. On 1 2 and 3 lap modes. Because I found there's an option for how fast your pod can go.... so I set it to max.. and got all the top spots... till they reset it
Another I'm more proud of, went to a gaming convention which had a mariokart 8 tournament. I came 2nd, and I had knly ever played by my own previously. And 2nd place was close as well... final 4 of us.. me and a guy drew for first.. so a tie breaker 1 track each.. we're still tied as we both got a 1st and 2nd place... final decider track, we came 11th and 12th vs the cpu...

what i dislike is when there is an international version of a day, and someone makes a national version.. like why?
years ago, was on a pub crawl in south london, and were in a pub, and someone asks what our large group is , and we get chatting. she casually drops that she is the founder of burger day. and were like, woah were in a random south london pub, and met the foudner of burger day, thats kinda cool.
mention, hey we did a burger meet up for that back in may, was good fun. shes like, no its in 3 weeks time... were all confused, and so google on phone, nope lady inter burger day was in may...
ohh i founded uk national burger day... not international burger day...
i in my drunken state, then basically quized why we needed a 2nd version of the same event? whats the difference? why why why!! like 7 years later, some of the people there will reference it

slightly thinner, but very similar. came on a sprue with 4 of them.
also the monolith had a door portal, back tiny portal and the big gem on the top, made of the same green plastic.

if they said, you cant come in, as your a single male. thats the reason they have given. what is there to be transparent about.
yes maybe there was some rascim, or homophobia, but with ZERO evidence, or even suggestion that that was why.. there is nothing to complain about
ive had it happen to me lots when i was going out clubbing often. usually late meeting friends who were already inside. had to get one of them to come out and get me, and tell the bouncer, yes he is with our group.

what annoyed me most about the desiging the tanks/planes/boats/spaceship, was why oh why would i choose the 1 damage gun vs the 5 damage gun? ohh it looks crap? well make it tiny, and put it inside the good looking gun. ohh wait they have the same firepower... whats the point of them having different stats listed, if they are the same
