  • The only attempt I can think of is Spec Ops: The Line, but I don't think it's had a particularly impactful role in the long term.

    Inspired by Heart of Darkness, it sets you in the shoes of John McSuperCool Operator, on a CIA spec-ops mission to investigate a rogue US battalion in Dubai.

    As you progress, you basically get deeper and deeper into the shit because John thinks it's his personal duty to be a hero and stop the commander of the rogue battalion, only for him to progressively kill more and more people that didn't need to die, culminating in wiping out an entire group of civilian refugees with white phosphorous and being confronted with the reality that he's a fucking monster.

    There's a lot of arguments about whether the game ends up being a valid critique of the COD formula or not, but it definitely looks like it was at least 'trying' something.


  • That is a Jack Russel Terrier, the greatest dog to ever dog. ~12 lbs of pure energy that can be sated only with digging and 'the chase.'

    To keep that little bundle of chaos indoors full time is to invite destruction itself into your home.

    A mixed indoor-outdoor setup is ideal, but if any dog is going to thrive in an outdoor environment (fenced with shelter, water, food, and some additional protection under the fence to discourage tunneling out), it would be that beautiful creature right there.











  • I have a sewing machine now and I'm very eager to start sewing everything. Pants too long? hem that shit. Pant seat feels a bit off? Alterations. Shirts too large? not anymore.

    I'm sure I'm about to mess up a bit, but it'll be fine. I'm just happy I get to learn a new useful skill to add to my skills cabinet.




  • Daily reminder that we all see this pop up on our feed too and you're going to have a higher quantity of people from other federated instances commenting by virtue of their being more of them active. No one is getting pings telling them it's time to go to X thread and post Y take, that's just a main character mindset people get into when they want to think they're the underdog and the 'other side' isn't playing fair.
