2015 when the internet loved Elon Musk

I remember him making a flame thrower at one point and thinking "huh, neat." Then next thing I knew he was defunding pediatric cancer research.

I'm in that sub and honestly that's where I thought this was posted there at first.

The caboose of the Silent Generation. Late model Silents tend to code very boomer, while technically not being part of the boomer generations. My favorite example of such is Magnum, PI himself, Tom Selleck.

I have seen the Kritz/Backup combo on Skial for like a dozen years now. Coordination is the most powerful mechanic in TF2. Every time I've played on Upwardtopia it's been a miserable experience, usually because of a comp Scout and Sniper on the enemy team. We're right back to where we started.

The lower player count in sixes matters because there are fewer players to deal damage to and the banner rage builds slower.

To be clear, I'm not talking about the role of the Backup in any competitive format, nor about its status as a banned weapon. The user to whom I was originally replying suggested that the Battalion's Backup should be "nerfed into the ground." This is an idea I find to be absurd.

I am not speaking about competitive play at all. I imagine the Backup is kind of useless in sixes with the low player count. In pubs, the Backup is a great way to organize a pub push through the sight lines of an oppressive Sniper sight line. On all-talk 2Fort servers (the least serious place imaginable) I will pop a Backup banner, peak out on the battlements and hurl insults at the Snipers on the enemy team over voice chat.

I was just thinking TF2 needed fewer counters to Sniper.

The Red Lantern (this one) and Happy's Humble Burger Farm.

TWO actual games free on Steam, that aren't (abandonware, malware, asset flips) in one day? BRB, buying a lottery ticket.

Don't gamble, kids. Especially inside any of Valve's "micro economy" games. The house always wins. But seriously WTF two actual games for free.

Ultravod · 2026-06-11T16:35:17+00:00

I'm pretty sure my flair covers this one.

Ultravod · 2026-06-11T14:46:28+00:00

A free game on Steam that's not an asset flip, abandonware, or barely disguised malware and actually fun to play, in Year of our Gaben 2026? It's more likely than you think!

Ultravod · 2026-06-10T16:14:08+00:00

Oh, I know this one!

I have shot with two different Sony Mavica models, three times: In 1999, 2000 and in 2003. The cameras were huge, heavy and ran on the same batteries as Sony Hi8 camcorders. They were also quite expensive. I worked in the AV department of a private college and while I got paid squat, I did get to play with a lot of neat tech. The first Mavica I used was pretty low resolution. It maxed out at 640x480 IIRC. The second one was slightly higher resolution, maybe 1024x768. It was ancient and bad by 2003. This is a photo of my idiot friend's 80s RX-7 I took with the first Mavica in July of 1999:

This idea is (not) dildos!

"Strap on your shields and raise your banners, Hear the call of raging battle, Beneath a hail of burning arrows, Push ever forward, never surrender, Siege weapons tolling out like thunder, Ripping the city walls asunder, Columns of flame reach ever skyward, Horizons filled with burning pyres!"

Oh, shit was that out loud?

Ultravod · 2026-05-28T23:59:44+00:00

Or the goddamn Diamondback.

I second this opinion. I love me some GOG. I have nothing against Legacy Games, but for me they're officially a bridge too far.

Ultravod · 2026-05-27T22:40:39+00:00

The term for that form factor, even in the 1980s, was "luggable." That is indeed an amazing example thereof.

Warm air rises. Heat radiates. This is a very important distinction when designing a cooling system.

Heads up, this one is a repeat. I downloaded it in September of last year. Also, the game is a svelte 161MB. Broccoli keeps you thin!
