2020

Here's to a New Year and a New Decade! --Ben41 (talk) 12:06, 31 December 2019 (EST)

Welcome to the '20s! ;D StanTheMan (talk) 13:00, 31 December 2019 (EST)

Still 2019 where I live, but hey, screw it. Here's to a bygone decade, and a roaring 2020s for us all. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 15:15, 31 December 2019 (EST)

2020 is turning into a very strange year.--Jcordell (talk) 00:09, 5 April 2020 (EDT)

2020 has been the strangest three years so far. StanTheMan (talk) 17:18, 5 April 2020 (EDT)

So, how many of us are now using the site again while we’re stuck at home quarantining? -MT2008 (talk) 19:01, 5 April 2020 (EDT)

I've been wondering the same thing. --Jcordell (talk) 21:01, 5 April 2020 (EDT)

If we had been stuck at home in 2015, I'd be cranking out pages. But not so now with a toddler and a baby at home. --Funkychinaman (talk) 22:05, 5 April 2020 (EDT)

Ironically enough, I feel like I've been less active here since the shutdown. Probably since I've finally abandoned any attempts to maintain a somewhat healthy sleep schedule. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 23:35, 5 April 2020 (EDT)

A lot of guns... A many lot of guns.

Well, does anyone dare to identify this? As I understand it, almost all of this is target guns (probably as the only available source of a large number of western handguns). --Slon95 (talk) 15:30, 1 January 2020 (EST)

From left to right: ?, Ruger Blackhawk, Smith & Wesson Model 29, Smith & Wesson Model 25, ?, ?. --Pyramid Silent (talk)

On that first screencap.. I agree on the Blackhawk ID. The center two revolvers are stainless S&Ws. That said, I believe the center one is a smaller K-frame gun - likely a long-barrel (8 3/8") Model 66, while the one next to it is a larger N-frame - likely a Model 629. Next to it looks like a Model 29 with 8 3/8 barrel. Can't quite make out the revolvers at the top or the far left.
The second screencap, only one I can make out is the stainless one, which looks to be a full-lug Smith & Wesson Model 686 (though it looks to be lacking both sights for some reason.. I suppose it could be the fixed-sight Model 681).
Fourth screencap the one laying on the counter on the right is a S&W Model 586. Fifth screencap shows a couple of 3rd Gen S&W automatics. All-in-all looks like on giant S&W ad to me, lolz (not that there's anything wrong with that). StanTheMan (talk) 21:11, 1 January 2020 (EST)

Rules on video game emulation?

I was wondering if there are any rules against screencaps from emulators like Dolphin or PCSX2, as I can't find anywhere on the site that addresses this. Specifically, I wanted to get higher quality pictures for the TimeSplitters pages once my new PC is up and running.--Tomakazi (talk) 20:26, 19 February 2020 (EST)

I believe emulators are legal as long as you have the original game. We'll have to take your word for it. --Funkychinaman (talk) 21:33, 19 February 2020 (EST)

Mysterious Revolver

This is very similar to the 1st gen Colt DS, but has a high rear sight, and a cylinder swing-out to the right side (although this is - perhaps - a consequence of the mirroring of the scene). Does anyone have any idea what this might be? --Slon95 (talk) 11:34, 29 February 2020 (EST)

After a lot of googling for right-swinging cylinder I found this obscure gun: Clerke First starter revolver. It has raised rear sight, but other features seem different, so this version is hardly correct. --Greg-Z (talk) 13:35, 29 February 2020 (EST)

Not even close. This is closest to this: [1], [2], although this sample has an exposed hammer. --Slon95 (talk) 14:28, 29 February 2020 (EST)

Lupin III / Lupin the Third / Lupin the 3rd Template

I was just wondering if this 'series' qualified for a template? There's a lot missing from IMFDB on it (I've been trying to source good DVD copies of the individual TV parts to get screencaps), and I'm planning to tackle the 1995 movie Lupin III: Farewell to Nostradamus next, but it looks like there's already five titles here. I think even if it doesn't qualify for a template, a disambiguation would be perfectly alright.

Oh, and also, should we universalize which form of 'Lupin III' we're going with? Currently we have pages with "Lupin III", "Lupin the Third", and "Lupin the 3rd"! (if we do, my vote is for "Lupin III") - SeptemberJack (talk) 04:30, 31 March 2020 (EDT)

Anyone know this?=

This one looks like a S&W 642. Ominae (talk) 11:46, 1 April 2020 (EDT)

Looks like a 296 to me. --commando552 (talk) 18:54, 1 April 2020 (EDT)

Small question regarding screenshots for video game pages

Are fan-made renders (or the ones taken from artists' Artstation pages) of models and screenshots that were taken with the help of mods allowed? Lunar Watcher (talk) 22:00, 20 April 2020 (EDT)

Case Closed page (maybe split up slowly)

Noticing that the page is getting longer and longer especially with the next episode is by May 23. I'd help, but I have a laptop right now and I'm not sure if the show has Blu-Ray versions or Hi-res versions for the first 15 seasons. Ominae (talk) 10:30, 3 May 2020 (EDT)

Shotguns list classified by the Latvian Police

Well, as I always climbed the Internet and found this: [3]. This is an extremely unique document, full of characteristics that are nowhere is easy to find. The text is in Latvian, but it's easy to translate through CTRL+C and a translator. --Slon95 (talk) 11:39, 13 May 2020 (EDT)

It claims the SPG-9 is originally Polish, is that correct? --AgentGumby (talk) 14:17, 13 May 2020 (EDT)

Sandboxes

Is it okay to edit another person's sandbox? I ask in part because I've noticed some cross-editing of sandbox pages before (namely the Modern Warfare Online sandbox page) and because somebody started a sandbox page for Girls' Frontline (which they haven't done anything with in a while) that I'd like to contribute to. BrandonColeford1992 (talk) 01:11, 12 June 2020 (EDT)

I'd check with the owner first. If it's truly abandoned, then I'd say go ahead. --Funkychinaman (talk) 01:40, 12 June 2020 (EDT)
