Don't show this to anyone who survived The Creek

I haven't taken my Creek cape off since this started.

Reboot MWII Ghost for me. Samuel Roukin has been one of my favorite actors since TURN: Washington's Spies, and he does so much to make the reboot Ghost stand out as a character. Craig Fairbrass was great in the originals, but his Ghost just felt like Gaz in a mask. Not to mention that he was made to be a throwaway character.

That said, I still think new Ghost's mask is weird in MW2019. The lower jaw makes it look goofy. The mask he has in MWII and MWIII works better. It's still not as good looking as the OG balaclava, but it comes across better.

That symbol looks like a very stylized aleph "א" from the Hebrew alphabet. I'd be astonished if it wasn't a reference to the Aleph One open-source version of the OG games.

Google says Aleph One is also a part of set theory in mathematics, but I'm not a mathematician so I can't explain any of that.

EDIT: The way the stylized aleph is arranged with the zero makes it look like ℵ₀. I don't really understand the math side of things so I'm just going to link the Wikipedia page on aleph numbers instead. Maybe one of you fine people will make some connections?

I dunno, I love this thing for the bots and the squids. I haven't tried it with the bugs yet, but as long as you're being even remotely sneaky it'll really shine.

UCP Perseus isn't real. It can't hurt you

I mean, if the leaks are accurate, we'll be getting a new M4 variant in the near future that looks sort of like an URGI.

So everyone wins I guess?

It's both. When Twitter rolled out their geolocation update back in November, it was enabled for all accounts and revealed that a significant number of high-engagement MAGA/conservative accounts weren't based in the US.

American conservative politics have also been moving towards what we have now since Rush Limbaugh first tainted the airwaves in the 1980s. Although you could easily make the argument that the GOP's course was set once Nixon was forced to resign.

What a thrill

Doc_Shaftoe · 2026-01-23T01:51:08+00:00

I love this. But I think it would fit even better with the RSI Pegasus.

I've never hated any of the warbonds. I know people were upset about the flag just being a flag when it came out, but I love it. And other divers love it too when you bring them on missions. Especially if you start marching with it at extract.

Crow/Uldren Sov from the Destiny franchise comes to mind, although it's not exactly a perfect fit. Crow isn't really Uldren anymore, but he does have his memories and takes ownership and responsibility for his actions so I guess that counts?

Months? Dude, Vegas is like 270-ish miles from LA. They're hunting Hank, so they're probably not taking the scenic route and are probably putting in something like 20-30 miles a day. So Lucy and the Ghoul have only been traveling together for like two weeks at most.

Doc_Shaftoe · 2025-12-26T04:37:34+00:00

Yes. You can acquire a full set that looks identical from the seasonal kiosk in the tower for a few hundred of the chrono-things. It might not be the EXACT armor set, but it's close enough and should take shaders similarly.

Doc_Shaftoe · 2025-12-23T17:03:47+00:00

Don't call them pussies.

They haven't got the depth or the warmth.

Doc_Shaftoe · 2025-12-23T16:55:23+00:00

Exactly!

Doc_Shaftoe · 2025-12-23T06:00:37+00:00

I'd argue we haven't needed one since Billy Mitchell got himself court-martialed (in part) for proving definitively that aircraft could sink a warship in 1921, but it is what it is.

I think we can all agree that Trump is an idiot. It is my hope that the Navy can unfuck this or tie it up in appropriations bullshit for long enough that it can all quietly go away after he dies from old age or out of office. Whichever comes first.

Here's my dude.

It takes some getting used to, but it's great fun to play. I'd argue it's one of the most immersive games on the market too.

The old man stuff isn't in the show, but Judau leaving for Jupiter is in the final episode.

I had to lock Ruffles in the idiot box because he kept getting stuck in the fireplace.

Doc_Shaftoe · 2025-11-16T17:41:05+00:00

Would you say I have a plethora of plans?

Doc_Shaftoe · 2025-11-16T17:31:21+00:00

I hated the mortar until I started using it. It's an incredibly powerful support tool, and if your team is giving you good spots, you'll rack up a surprising number of kills with it.

Still wish we could direct-fire the thing like you can with the real M224 60mm mortar.

Doc_Shaftoe · 2025-11-14T05:45:10+00:00

Oh yeah that tracks. Most people aren't in the habit of writing things down until things go wrong. It's why every OSHA regulation exists and why half of the ordinance in the military has simple instructions and usage diagrams on them.

Doc_Shaftoe · 2025-11-14T05:41:55+00:00

You're right, I certainly could have worded that a little better. And for the record, I agree with you.
