Well, you get a can of soup with a 'k' sound. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_and_soft_C#English

Roberta Williams was probably on to something. Ah right, a source of some kind would be good. https://web.archive.org/web/19991127225719/http://www.gamersdepot.com/interview_roberta_a.htm

And I had thought it was chemtrails.

I actually enjoyed online interactions with random people back when I was still playing online games in 00s. Still remember the dude who totally whooped my and my friend's arse in Dawn of War just to let us live, build back up a bit and lead a war on two fronts against his Necron hordes (we almost got him, but ... Then he got the revive thing for his Necron Lord before it was nerfed. Damn.) 'Spose it might be just me getting old, but cool interactions like that felt increasingly sparse when I was trying to play MP with randos, all the way to me ... Well, not doing that anymore. Oh yeah, there are tonnes of good memories even playing with random people. Just that story makes me crack up when I remember it just for how outlandish it was. But for toxic behaviour, I think it's SSDY, well, at least in MP FPS games. From Quake 2 with people claiming everyone else were hacking homosexuals with prostitute mothers, to CS where I got to hear that (along with nice porn sprays mind you), to DoD with everyone thinking them playing "Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg?" over voice chat was witty and so on.

Listening to people rage on Overwatch reminded me of playing Natural Selection back in 2002 or so, some guy raging at me for not giving him the gear he demanded and that culminated in him calling me a "Catholic Jew ****". Memorable for everyone falling silent and one guy asking "How is that an insult, exactly?"

Good to know the Nazgul had a side gig.

Got the tape this was on during a mission, so was a fitting soundtrack while creeping around a coca field gunning down cartel members (and that one lady I blasted with the GP25 by accident).

Was looking up the Heinlein quote about specialization (in Starship Troopers, Rico is told he needs to learn to tailor his own uniform). Came across this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competent_man The Scalzi bit gave me a good laugh.

Nothing like gunning down some old lady wielding a PKM to make me realize I'm fighting the good fight. Briefing officer in WIldlands also needs to stick to her day job. Still though, is great fun in co-op. Wish I could get a new scope, something so wrong about using a sniper rifle with an ACOG (who the hell equips these Special Forces I wonder).

This was a problem ?

Also metal's genre branching is pretty funny.

Modi would be pleased with her, at least

Modern metal sure does suck

Realizing I have 6 weeks off work this year, so will be annoying to burn those as I don't do vacations

Both

I dunno, I think writers in the US used to be able to do the same. We just have Twitter now. Well, British writers probably can't do the same even now. Is really the fault of television, I say.

It will. Last game I bought was Brigador, it will probably suck if I weren't so lazy enough and played it

Wildlands sure is a pretty game, can almost make one take up hiking. Sort of laughing at the plot in the resort area where I have to become a terrorist as I start gun battles in hotels or shoot up a casino

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-01-09-the-division-2-wont-be-on-steam-but-it-will-be-on-the-epic-games-store So basically a different way to launch UPlay

Friend and I finally mastered stealth in our approach, our attempt at Steel Rain with an AH-6 sort of worked - super hard landing of the helicopter resulting in it bouncing and causing another helicopter to epxlode which then also set a car off as well did take out 2/3rds of the hostiles in the area. But was much easier just waiting to kill guards that seem to take up the patrol routes of their dead comrades.
