you literally used acronyms to describe an acronym, wtf is an E-6/E-5

MOS is Military Occupation Specialty. It's just your job. Like Military Police, or Infantry.

E-5, E-6 etc are just pay grades. There's no hourly or salary wage rate or anything. Different pay grades depending on your rank.

So considering this is pretty much the Shader General, did anyone ever create a new fix for point light brightness?

Here is the original topic explaining the fix.

Old thread by me requesting somebody update the fix for the game post-r1984.

PLT SGT? Never heard of em' I've got Drills still.

I also don't get my phone all the time, I post before bed, and during the 4 hours of freetime us Nighthawks get.

Most AIT classes drop Drill SGTs and switch to Platoon SGTs, and it’s usually a lot more laid back from what I understand. Only a few MOSs still keep Drill SGTs for AIT. MPs, I think infantry, yours obviously, and maybe a couple others.

So you’re in AIT, but you get to carry your phone all the time?

Damn, you guys with PLT SGT AITs have it easy.

The real question is, was it Runescape (3) or OSRS?

Yeah I’ve had someone follow me before too, middle of the night. They got stuck at a red light before I got anywhere close to home. If you’re not big on confrontation OP, and they won’t stop following you, try taking a detour to or near a police station next time. I’ve heard that usually gets people like that to screw.

General Discussion / Re: Is there many people playing blockland still?

Maybe it is now. I remember though when v21 was announced, and when it released, how many people were up in arms because they “valued” terrains and interiors. I can’t remember if I was around when B4v21 became a thing, but I imagine back then it was to have access to terrains and interiors.

I’m surprised that Badspot doesn’t do anything about it though. Someone mentioned they use their own master server for the authentication? Doesn’t that mean you don’t need a key, and can essentially play an outdated version of Blockland for free?

Yeah, a lot of people that horseback ride do it. Not everyone that rides is rich enough to own their own horse. That crap is expensive. It’s all the pluses of owning one if you’re into riding, minus the responsibilities. Aside from my lessons, I get to ride a couple times a week on the horse I’m leasing. But I don’t have to worry about paying for horseshoes, vet bills, boarding etc.

Nothing wrong with putting that all out there my friend. Like I said, one of the reasons I wanted to dump this was so maybe if one day someone else on here unfortunately finds themselves in maybe not the same exact situation, but a similar one, they can do better than me.

I don’t know man, I try to be a good person but I don’t think until I do something worthwhile I can tell myself that I am. Between borderline abandoning my family, my friends, being a jerk in general, how far I was willing to go to avoid being a father, I ain’t that great.

The court stuff is nothing. I don’t even think about it to be honest. Worst case scenario I get probation, which would still suck to have a “Domestic Violence” record (good luck trying to have a normal life and settle down with someone with that). Best case scenario it boils down to self defense or mutual combat. Other than that it doesn’t affect me on a day to day basis.

But I’m happy. Really. I’m back on my own, got an apartment. Leasing a horse. I just gotta work on repurchasing all my stuff I lost. I’m back to being able to enjoy my hobbies guilt-free.

General Discussion / Re: Should blockland servers before V21 be shut down?

« on: July 04, 2019, 08:29:02 AM »

V20 servers are literally just as bad as that TBM cancer.

It's time to move on with v21.

Comparing V20 and TBM is ridiculous.

If I remember correctly, TBM people were players who hated that Blockland had become a paid game, and wanted to keep playing for free, right?

B4v21 players are just the small collection of people who already bought the game, but hated losing terrains and interiors. Like everyone else has said, shutting them down would do nothing. They’re a lost cause to the post-shadows and shaders Blockland playerbase.
