It’s 1994. The Bosnian-Serbian conflict is still raging. Some cool dude from the UN peace keepers thinks it would be good to have a concert.

He contacts Bruce Dickinson and says, “wanna play a much needed gig in a warzone?”

Bruce says, “yes”.

Here’s the documentary.

Related to another popular post right now…so what was Bruce Dickinson’s ancestor?

Nah, its for “grizzled tanman”. You oldies just don’t get it.

I’m gen-x and I am at the point where I don’t know if I say anything unironically any more.

(But you are spot on, slang is there, always, and it mutates as it is needed, but it isnt generational so much as sociopolitical and regional.)

If by us, you mean American christians, then sure.

Wait… The very notion of the seven deadly sins is a Christian construct… It only really applies to us anyway…

Ah. My bad. Carry on.

Rock it like a Brit. Most things in metric except for your height (feet and inches) and your car speed (miles per hour) and when you measure your manhood (inches… Or fractions thereof).

Also, milk is pints.

Land is acres.

And the ponies run furlongs.

Got through the whole article and they don’t say, “Fall of Duty” once.

What even is journalism these days?!?

Surely Call of Out drops in Fall?

Massive spud of a human.

I mean, good luck trying to get this working in Northern Ireland too.

This is a classic Tory death rattle. Punish those lazy, entitled young people who, whilst not responsible for the 2008 crash (that was us and our banker mates) or the following years of austerity that ripped the heart out of public services whilst private services prospered (that was also us, but with our banker mates) or Brexit, an enterprise that spit the nation and has left us all worse off (again, us, but this time with our business and banker mates), it is those no good, molly-coddled young people with their funny hair colour and inability to buy houses, or food in some cases, that are the problem with the UK and we need to whip them into shape whilst we (who haven’t been whipped into any sort of shape at all) continue to be in charge.

Best gaming of my life was on a SNES coupled to a janky sanyo portable.

I got a refund four hours in when I explained that I had spent two of those in a queue waiting to play.

I know they’ve fixed that now, but the two hours arbitrary limit is a bit… Limiting.

Gary’s mod, having assets if Nintendo properties. Nintendo wants that removed. People are somehow shocked.

adam_y, 2 months ago

Yeah, they could do that. Maybe they will. That’s capitalism for you. It doesn’t care about users, just the property.

Really wanted to like this game. The hype had me.

I played it, waiting for it to get good. It just never did for me. Maybe I’m missing something, but after 10 hours I felt like I’d seen pretty much everything.

As for the anti-cheat, I understand why they’d have that. I’ve played so many games where people cheat and it just kills the fun. Even when it is PvE.

I don’t really understand the mindset of the cheaters though. Do they think we all talk about how great they are after the game is over? Like, Bobfucker326 sure did shoot more stuff than any random player I’ve ever seen, he must have a massive wang and be great at maths and stuff.

Radical.

By that logic the queen has gut shame.

Sounds to me like they don’t want to ban it, they want it sold to American business at a massively discounted rate. Standard mafia shit.

adam_y, 3 months ago

That’s a fair point, it is a game as much as it is a racket.

Season 4 of Fringe.

This is really good. Clear and well laid out.

The only thing that might confuse some beginners is your specific choice of package manager.

adam_y, 4 months ago

You’re awesome.

adam_y, 4 months ago

I think I want to like it more than I like it.

The loop is just pretty dull. The stakes never really feel that high.

Totally understand why some people dig it though, especially those playing with pals.

And yeah, can you imagine buying a ticket to see a film and being told there’s not enough room in the cinema, so stand outside and just wait. I’m not sure that’s a great experience.

adam_y, 4 months ago

Doing anything excessively leads to that.

What you are describing is addiction in the broadest terms and really is nothing specific to video games.

It isn’t genocide, it’s just sparkling human atrocity.
