Tom Clancy's EVERYTHING

my buddy who hasn't seriously played games since we were in high school sent me a highlight video of it. up until that point, I'd just glossed over it as "meh, that other hyper competitive game that my fairly competitive friends from dota 2 are now playing. why would I want another stressful experience when I have…

it's cool, just wondering :) there are some seriously daft judges out there, since I think the requirements for being elected judge are a pretty low bar to clear in a lot of jurisdictions.

you're south of the border? I'd say that a couple of the better cheap go to beers around here are… what my dad drinks. (so maybe it's just personal bias?)

oh god.

he reminds me of the episode of Clone High where JFK teaches Gandhi how to make a hit rap single.

Labatt is undrinkable swill though… you could at least step up to the slightly more drinkable Canadian, if you have to stick to beers that are discounted on tap at many places.

how can you be a citizen of a state, specifically? I thought citizenship is exclusively granted by a nation-state, not a state itself.

god that's amazing. also, batshit insane.

a camera that was no doubt at least in part in China, if not entirely.

that was almost more of a fluke in which I projected onto her though, I suspect. totally not fair of me to be like "oh shit, you're into music too? well I haven't played in forever and it's super cool that you do and… wait, where are you going?"

yeah, that's what I'm most curious about, really.

it is pretty cool that they found a workaround for that. I don't think it's that skeevy personally, as it seems like a happy middle ground, but I have seen comments where people get pissy about the drop rates or something when they purchase boxes.

so my valid reason panned out four or five years ago? shit.

if the plug fits?

yeah, if that's a verbatim transcription of the letter… a form is being quietly filled out in some datacenter somewhere, adding the dude to a watchlist.

it really breaks the skin!

plus the moral aspect. it's not okay to take advantage of someone when they're still figuring themselves out.

I assume that there must be a generation of dudes (it's gotta be dudes, mostly, right?) that are so jaded by the smorgasbord of freely accessible porn that somehow that taboo is what gets them going after all these years.

jesus. I've never been in a situation like that, so I have no frame of reference, but that makes a horrifying amount of sense.
