I know this isn't the right board for it, but I honestly have no other ideas of how to do it, so please forgive me, and please forgive me killing a thread for that, but it's important to me. More than a decade ago, back in the skype era, I've met a dude here (or rather on the /d/ IRC that was running at the time) who went by the nickname of Esrever. He was a good friend, both to discuss /d/ shit, but we also talked a lot about military stuff, naval engineering, perspective weapons (he had a fetish for naval railguns and kinetics in general, and believed they were vastly superior to anything rocket-powered). I called him Assreaver once as a joke (because this is how his nickname read to me once) and I know he used it for a bit here and there. When discord arrived and I switched over, we lost contact, and I miss the guy. I wonder how he's doing. If you know him, know about him, or you are him, please contact me at secunduspublius@gmail.com. Sorry, again, for the kinda off-board thread. This is the only place that really connects us (hopefully) anymore. Pic is a sketch I drew a little while ago to keep it at least a bit board-relevant.
Bump
>>11421747I am sorry anon, for I do not think that you will be able to find him. I have begun to forgot old Internet friends I have lost contact with, and I have lost hope in reconnecting with those whom I remember.
>>11421848It is a hail mary but I get it. Sometimes people stick with you, it is unlikely you will ever forget him. I think dude is totally wrong about railguns being the future of naval warfare. He may or may not be imagining building a 21st century version of the Yamato which despite being the coolest form naval warfare can take is the kind of obsolete the now possibly obsolete fleet carrier replaced. The future is just missiles ontop of missiles. A modern version of the 20th century Battle of Tsushima would involve the fancy American carriers getting deleted by a strategic scale missile salvo. Even in the role envisioned for them a decade ago it was necessitating a major technological breakthrough that would make these things way more economical than missiles, but that hasn't happened and in the modern context of a major standoff between the USN and the PLAN even if you were to make that happen investing all of your money in rocket-powered everything will probably lead to better returns. I hope even if the dude was upset about something with you he takes the bait and shows up to argue about weapons. I'm doing my part. But yeah that sucks man, I will tell you that the hole is never going to go away, no matter how many other people have literal weapons-grade autism.
Well, how about some requests while you're here?
>>11422021>>11421878Requesting futa Yamato shooting cum laser with her dick
>>11421878YeahPretty muchMissiles from further away, or drones with increasingly large ranges & payloads are the way forwards. Drones becoming more advanced is the more likely future, just because with a drone, you can have a missile that shoots missiles, while making those yummy 20G turns that would paste a pilot.The problem with railguns is twofold.First, you need a FUCKHEUG generator, that would be better used literally almost anywhere else than on a ship in the middle of the ocean, doing nothing the 99% of time a ship isn't shooting the railgun.Second, the magnetic coils/channels/however the fuck you want to do it are a high maintenance nightmare. Magnets are usually pretty resilient, because you actually aren't usually asking very much of them. The kinds of forces a railgun would exert on the system would mean frequent maintenance and replacement of parts, or else the thing fucking explodes because your slug deviated a few fractions of a degree in the barrel, hits the side, and now your ship is down a main armament.Now I beg your pardon, but my bf is making those cute morning sounds, and I'm gonna get in there and wake him up with a blowjob.
>>11422254Dick is temporary. Weapons autism is forever. Yeah the unmanned fighters that were recently at the 80th victory day parade in China have the capacity to just be the type of weapon that completely upends warfare. The off the shelf stuff already has in Ukraine, and I can hear Deng Xiaoping laughing from beyond the grave when I see the statistic about China already having something like 95% of current global production of that stuff. There's rising empire shit and then there's just the cartoon numbers that this century keeps fucking having. I still think railguns were intended to solve the problem of lobbing a missile as fire support in some 2010 era US counter insurgency battle. If you can solve basically every single problem you've just described they'd be vastly more efficient from a economic standpoint, but it's the most American thing imaginable to believe "if we solve these like 5 separate major technological hurdles to our wonder weapon working at all then it'll be cool as shit bro."Every new form of weapon is going to be immensely more unreliable too, its just how it works. I can already hear the pain in the technicians voice as these things that are supposed to be cheaper than missiles spend half the time needing to be taken apart and fixed and the other half of the time hoping it doesn't blow up the ship since it really should never once not be in 5 pieces at a machine shop back on shore.>>11422058The Yamato was a big ship with the biggest, girthiest guns. Looking straight at people as she went off. For it to be outclassed by the flatties who just launched aircraft off their washboard of a chest just isn't fair. We all intrinsically know that the chestlet should not have gotten the attention of all those cute post WW2 admirals. Even if it makes complete sense it just isn't fun.
>>11422254>The kinds of forces a railgun would exert on the system would mean frequent maintenance and replacement of parts(NTA)With the forces we're talking about, the damn thing would probably have to be recalibrated after every shot, even if the actual damage/wear was minimal.Kek. By the time they solve that problem, we may have actual working Battlemechs to put 'em on.
>>11421747Probably not gonna happen, but damn the old /d/ IRC brings back memories. Was comfy, but that was what? 10 or 15 years ago? The only names I remember from there were Elzi, Ayano and Anna. Good times. Time flies.
That sucks, OP. I hope you two reconnect.Your friend (and you?) might be interested to know that General Atomics has just announced its intention to restart its US-based railgun project. /k/ is currently having a thread on it. >>>/k/64538240In my opinion, rail guns loading canisters of pellets might see some serious attention given as an anti drone-swarm weapon. Shooting down singular missiles with CWIS is hard enough, but if your enemy can field hundreds of drones, then you need to be able to paint an entire swath of sky rather than single out individual threats. You also need extremely deep magazines, which railguns excel particularly at. The only thing I could think of besides rail-driven ball-bearing flak clouds would be skipping to weaponized radar for directed energy weapon purposes.>>11422346I think the main problems with railguns right now are just the barrel wear. I've yet to see any serious exploration of a concept for self-ejecting rails that are intended to be cheaply replaceable rather than built into the barrel.
>>11421747preem futa and tits, do you do commissions?
Damn, I wasn't expecting to find an attempted reunion on /d/. Don't know shit about military weapons, but I bid you this Mumei I found for good luck, or at least good faps, OP. All the best, and that's some pretty good art. Hopefully Esrever is found.
>>11421747Oh hey you're panzermeido, I love your work.
>>11422392YeahModified funny shotgun cwis is the most likely future for railguns, if they emerge at all, if for no other reason than you don't really need much raw potential stopping power to clear drones, so at least the resilience problem is solved. Maybe. Even then, I have half a mind to suspect the real answer to that problem is either airburst, chaff, or localized emp missiles to knock out drone swarms, or else more specialized fighter drones, not a big expensive power drain that sits there doing nothing until drones are here. And double again, the idea of the giant generator that doesn't do anything most of the time is preposterous to me. MAYBE railguns like this will see limited deployment on fleet support vessels, who actually are using that generator the other 99% of the time for cool shit, or else as static defences attatched to developed bases, but that would be more of an opportunistic armament, not as a primary goal.I WISH railguns had a more promising future, and I have hope for the more distant future, where my Halo boner goes strong, but for the time being, I really can't see much beyond missiles & drones every die until you die of boredom before a shot is fired, unless there's a radical tech shakeup on par with how badly I want my guts shaken up this afternoon.
My fellow gamers I am very happy to see that we are exactly as horny about weapons as we are about dicks. >>11422853Anti-drone weapons are atleast emerging as being mostly ballistic-based so that's technically the same ballpark as a railgun. Technically. It elementally contains similarities, more so than the missile vommer. Don't get me wrong I long for the MAC to be real too. The best weapons are neither cool nor fun and that fucking sucks. There's barely even any dogfights anymore, it's like war is actually hell or something. The Ghost of Kyiv was a very literal ghost that we had to make up to cope with that. I always was more into small arms anyways. I know you've got the bolt actions you need to jerk off just like a dick but its not really the same. Your standard issue cock needs to recharge after getting jerked off just once for example, whereas most bolt guns can take it 5 times or 10 if you're british. They're far more resilient to forced orgasm torture, the brits.
>>11421747Finish In the Shadow of a Giant you fag.
>>11421747>More than a decade ago>sketch I drewwere you in the b drawthreads? your lines look familiar lol, then again all of that definitely can change over a decade
>>11421878Wait, I just heard Japan was testing a new railgun that looked promising and released some stuff like pic, and some said they greatly improved the barrel ware or somethingIs this hopium?
>>11423265Replied to the wrong anon, mb
>>11423265Ive only heard about the US railgun program and only really at what must have been its height a decade~ ago but I would be surprised if there wasn't similar programs in literally every other major power. The US just has a lot of money to throw into a hole. Replicating programs that other powers are doing both to match any progress they make but also see if they're actually any good or not is how stuff works. Space nerds are weirdly chill, I feel bad for them sometimes, but one of the few things they get heated about is the space shuttle program. Its ridiculously unsafe, the soviet equivalent the Buran probably isn't literally identical on the inside but it sure as shit looks like it on the outside. It did one flight that was completely automated, they refused to let a cosmonaut inside of it, came back down under MiG escort incase it tried anything. The fighters probably were for other reasons but I love the image of what looks exactly like the space shuttle except for the soviet flag on it under fighter escort incase it forgets it's under soviet command now. Oh and make sure to grind your girlfriend the same way the V-22 Marinegrinder grinds marines. Hence the name.
>>11421747I don't have anything in terms of helping find your buddy but I like your art. Any chance of a follow-up?
>>11421848I know it's a long shot, but, well, you know. A long shot is better than no shot at all. >>11421878The crux of his argument was always that a missile, no matter how advanced or fast, will be inherently fragile, and as kinetics and DEW advance CIWS and other methods of enveloping will make a missile far too vulnerable to interception, something a sufficiently advanced kinetic weapon will not suffer as much from. >>11422021Sorry, anon, not taking requests right now. >>11422361I got shreked outta there for joking about rape factories, so my memories are not exactly vivid. But I did get a friend out of it, so it's a net positive. >>11422930When I'll quit my current job, I'll take a month off before finding another one. I'll finish ITSOAG when it'll happen. >>11423164No, I was mostly drawfagging in /tg/, then in /vg/, then in /d/, then in /a/, then in /d/ again. >>11423694What, on the Satsuki x Ryuko? Maybe at some point.
>>11424037>The crux of his argument was always that a missile, no matter how advanced or fast, will be inherently fragile, and as kinetics and DEW advance CIWS and other methods of enveloping will make a missile far too vulnerable to interception, something a sufficiently advanced kinetic weapon will not suffer as much from.Interesting logic but it ignores the logistical side of things. Even if you handwave away that 1000 missiles are cheaper than 1 railgun, railguns are big and heavy even in theory while missile systems are comparatively pretty mobile. I don't think there's zero place for sufficiently advanced railguns but at best they'll be used in a hybrid approach to hit heavily defended targets where missiles would be inefficient or outright ineffective. >I got shreked outta there for joking about rape factorieslmao, what was the context there? Like breeding facilities or something more absurdist, like a factory that manufactures packaged rape? The later reminds me of that anon that tried to develop a rape-based economy>/vg/What generals, your artstyle looks familiar but I might have just seen your /a/ or /d/ stuff.>What, on the Satsuki x Ryuko?Yeah, it seems a shame to give Ryuko such a great dick and not draw her using it.
Bumping. Here's a wip of a comm I'm working on. Liquids are fun to draw, I wish I was better at doing them.
>>11425750The light catching on the squirt looks great desu
>>11425750youre my favourite porn artist of all time genuinely
>>11425750Excellent work.Attention and love paid to the bodily fluids associated with sex is tragically rare. Off the top of my head, Camonome is the only artist that really shows love to them. There's others I even like, but can't think of them. Maybe it's just 'cuz I'm bi, and have a sort of eye for equivication of erotic features between sexes, but, the fluids and juices of women occupy a sort of similar niche to the appeal of the erections of males/futas/whatever, and it's easier to conceptualize there, then transfer them back to women, I think. A cute boy getting hard as someone makes out with them, or getting hard from being flirted with, or just off the romantic atmosphere of a date or night home, is incredibly sweet, adorable, and erotic; and a woman's fluid production is analogous to that. It's the external excitement/interest meter, and there's a loooot of nuance and variety to it. Thick strings of pussy drool have a different vibe than a subtle damp spot in cute panties, have a different vibe than thin, shiny moisture on the thighs, have a different vibe from an isolated geyser during sex.But then that itself transfers back to boys as well, since precum is another form of intimate communication, too. It's all the subtle stuff, all the micro communications that take place during intimacy, that good erotic art has a mind for. It's maybe a little unrealistic, but a truly good eye can communicate large chunks of a character's personality/sexuality, just by the way their fluids are portrayed, or what they're looking at, or how they're holding their limbs in a more traditional example.
>>11426913>>11427467Thank you, I finished it yesterday, just didn't want to spam. >>11426926Hey now, you need higher standards.
>>11427473
>>11427473Yeeeeah the bit of sweat on the top is nice, too. Topping is exhausting.
>>11421747I thought that handwriting looked familiar. This is unrelated, but any chances of you putting out more The Plastic Age content? It's unironically one of my favorite pieces of fiction of all time and there's nothing else that settles into that same niche for me.
Godspeed, anon
>>11428868It's been 15 years, anon...
>>11428920And the porn messiah draws no closer.
>>11429121Jokes aside, if I were to write Plastic Age today, it would be something radically different from what it was back then. I was literally 15-16 when I wrote it, so what I find cool, what I'd like to describe, how I'd build the spacefaring plastic fantastic dystopia would be very different, even if I'd keep to the basic tenets (power armor infantry invading Mars and everything is super fucking cheap).
>>11429405I was literally 15-16 when I read it, too, so it's not like my tastes haven't evolved drastically as well, but, like, that's all fine, right? I think if you've got anything to say through the setting in the current day, then I'd also find it worth reading in the current day.
>>11427473>just didn't want to spam.I'd hardly consider 3 images spam, especially when they're ostensibly on-topic
Not OP, but I might as well ask it here: is precum real? I dont leak shit until i bust a nut.>>11422392I want at least some part of my post to be on-topic, so>I think the main problems with railguns right now are just the barrel wear. I've yet to see any serious exploration of a concept for self-ejecting rails that are intended to be cheaply replaceable rather than built into the barrel.Well, you'd have to almost completely redesign the railgun, wouldnt you? Either the rails are just two prongs that somehow have the moving current within them, or, and i think itd be better, the rails are disposable rifling to facilitate an electromagnetically-repelled "bullet" that is ionized the same way a back plate thrusted into the bullet is. Either way, I dont see how, unless manufacturing was stupid cheap, theyd be more practical than reinforced barrel railguns.
Sorry to hear about your missing connection, OP. Drifting away from internet friends is always hard. I hope you can reconnect one day. Your art is awesome, btw. If you really are panzermeido, your art is awesome, especially the Nagatoro stuff you do, the girls in that are great and deserve big cocks.>>11432606It's real for me I think.
>>11421747
>>11427473neat. do you have socials ?
>>11432606Yeah, it's absolutely realFor me, I get all kinds of gooey before the big event. Different color, different consistency, different taste. Very much a different thing. Hell, if I could trade all my regular cum for pre I would.
>>11432606>I dont leak shit until i bust a nut.I have the same issue, but I have neurological problems so I always figured it was related.
>>11432606Apparently you get more pre if you don't fap for a while, but I haven't noticed much of a difference aside from bigger loadsI have to say guys, this has been a really nice thread. It's nice to see people just hanging out even if we're talking about dicks
