Unexpected Discworld reference is unexpected.
Oh wow. I saw this story in a tweet and thought it was just Kotaku sprucing up an anecdote with some hyperbole. Nope - that dude’s head is literally through that monitor.
Aaaaaaand this is why I’m so terrible at TF2 multiplayer.
Oh God, the theme songs! ALL OF THEM! They’re never getting out of my head now!
“Justice rains from abAAUUGHH” *THONK*
As an enthusiastic CHL holder, I agree. In that situation, with my family right there and (presumably) these guys already having drawn on me, I wouldn’t have touched my gun. Just do whatever they want, get everyone as far away as quickly as possible.
I’ve found the sticky traps less reliable than the older instant kill designs. Mice will tear out their fur to get off them and learn not to go near them next time.
Mice have become really good at stealing the bait from a trap without setting it off, probably through our own selective breeding. If you find your classic snapper traps untriggered with the bait missing, stick them to the floor with a little duct tape. That way the mice can’t push the ultra-light traps around, and…
But... real people can shoot bows on horseback. In almost any direction, including directly behind them. And they don’t move like that.
For Honor doesn’t appeal to me as a multiplayer game, but that’s really cool art direction. That female barbarian is basically Boudica.
But that’s not a reset button, that’s a cheat code. A real life reset button would be commiting the crime, hitting the button, and then not having committed the crime (including losing anything you may have gained or lost in the action).
This guy clicks.
Once you go Krogan, you never go back.
That’s certainly the model, yes, and no one’s forcing you to adhere to it. The reason it’s so grating in this case is that it’s Nintendo tacitly endorsing this exploitative development style. I think everyone had higher hopes for their first batch of mobile games, free or otherwise.
CoD’s dead? I’m not a fan, but I haven’t seen any indication that the sales are drooping. Plus, remember that Activision is partnered with Blizzard - they can have several years of slumping sales without being in any kind of danger with that kind of a corporate crutch.
In a game like Destiny, this is acceptable. The rarity and randomness is an element of the game design - it might be frustrating, but it’s frustrating (and eventually rewarding) in the same way, for everyone.
I’m familiar with the legal concept o fighting words. on the rare occasions that the right to respond to fighting words has been upheld, it’s universally been immediate and personal. If someone personally uses a racial slur specifically against you, you MIGHT be able to legally defend a punch thrown in the heat of…
And you think that brawling in the streets like a bunch of Vikings is going to settle things down? You do know that violently attacking those with differing views is one of the hallmarks of fascism, right? As fucking reprehensible as Spencer is, you won’t defeat him with physical attacks - all you’re doing is…
So what you’re saying is, there’s no Amendment that says you can’t punch a guy in the street when you disagree with him?
