As a metal it has pretty few real uses, and it would have pretty few uses even if it was dirt cheap.

Super conducting non-tarnishing metal will always have its uses, even just for decoration.

The anomaly is that BC is not backed up by anything tangible. Yes I agree about the faith in gold. Always amuses me. Look up the Island of Yap currency, same principle as the gold backed currency but nobody told them about greed and they didnt quite get the point of it, just that it was something they were supposed to do so they did:) But BC doesnt even have that.

We all live in a bigger version of Yap and someday someone will realise it and its Tulips all over again.

HHGTG used leaves at first but hyper-inflation stopped that.
 
I guess that is why there has been no Jesus patch.
Jesus patch is always in the future, it's never in the past. Do not meddle in the bygone affairs, but seek the glory to come. Such is the nature of Jesus patch. It's going to be soawesome. Also, buy an Idris.

Well our common everyday money is not backed either by anything tangible. USD, EUR and so on are fiat currencies. They are means of exchange because state says so. And well most of money people use is not even physical, it just bits on bank account :D And there is much more that kind of money in circulation than physical cash.
 
Couldn't tell for sure, but possible contenders for doing it in a mmo could be Ultima Online? Second Life?
You could add The Realm to that list as well... at least for each player’s home. Some of the loot dropped by mobs could be quite creatively used for decorating purposes.

Careful now... the next thing you know, you’ll be pointing out that paper money isn’t actually money, but an IOU note printed by the government. ;)
 
What FUDstery is this? The buttons are of perfect size, carefully measured by Holy Roberts himself.
It's like suggesting to make those pixels blue.


Meanwhile, behold! CI-G proudly presents you... a hair dryer!!

Looks like gun that will re-arrange your wrist bones in interesting ways. As it is projectile weapon, no muzzle brake, barrel line is pretty high, and grip does not seem to be very ergonomic. Just look back line of grip.

Don't worry, your wrist will be fine. If it was a gun, it would have a slider for starters. But it isn't.
Is it an artist hiring requirement at CI¬G to have absolutely no familiarity with, and no desire to research, the things you are tasked to doodle?
On the contrary, I think that artist is very familiar with the item he used as prototype.

Just a military-looking hair dryer for every jingoist gung ho out there.
Keep up your style with style. Tacticool.

Internal slide, with perhaps caseless ammunition. I have seen irl semiauto handguns with hidden action, only ejection port and cocking handle exposed. But what will remain is recoil, and high barrel line will make that worse, plus pretty unergonomic grip :D

It quite clearly has a case, in a mag that cannot feed properly with a capacity that makes the whole extra complexity extra pointless. Firkrayt's explanation is infinitely more likely than it actually being any kind of weapon.
 
Old news : it's the Salvo Frag Pistol here since 3.7.0
The Salvo can be used as both a normal pistol and a semi-shotgun. This last mode can be achieved by pulling the trigger for a longer duration. A freezing primer is then injected into the chamber, and when the trigger is released, the pin pulverizes the supercooled casing. This in turn discharges a spray of high-velocity fragments forward.
 
It looks like its does because of the gun designer and manufacturer ingame having a interest in old 'Banu' ( alien, well not human ) weapon design that has a more artistic flair on top of mere functionality. Jeesh seems like some people have got nothing better to do than find fault with anything not 'Frontier'.

edit for grammar reasons lol

Well unless it is tube mag with pretty low capacity :D

Well there are reasons why firearms look like what they look like. Regardless of added bling. Working weapon NEEDS certain systems to work. Mainly some kind of feeding device, some kind of bolt/slide, ignition system, some kind of barrel, usable grip, and triggering mechanism.
