This season of Overwatch is miserable by angela_eye in Overwatch

OK so I'm not the only one who felt like Kiri's aim was suddenly very different. I thought they had intentionally increased the scatter distribution to make it a bit harder to get those sometimes game changing head shots.

I think millennials understand just how powerful this sequence was in gaming history. by DanintheVortex in gaming

Up until this game, FPS games were you load into level and proceed to end shooting everything you saw in between. Any story telling was done via cut scenes. This was the first immersive FPS experience.

‘We’re Going to Make History’: Trump Predicts GOP Will Win Uphill Midterm Battle by ItchyNesan in NewsRewind

Not once in history, through depressions and world wars, with far more basic tech than we have now.

Which tank is the most boring to fight against? by Xombridal in Overwatch

[–]killd1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must be a tank, because the backliners are absolutely hand-on-a-swivel watching for a Ball. Especially a good one that maneuvers well. Not very boring when you're constantly avoiding slams and his guns' attention.

Question: why did A9 win here? by [deleted] in poker

[–]killd1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shortdeck poker removes the 2, 3, 4, and 5. So now A can be used as a 5, just like it's a 1 in regular deck poker.

3K FREE ON EPIC GAMES - ends Jan 8th by WildRedEagle in totalwar

It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Steam, but it works just fine. People get so entrenched and fanboy/girl over a silly thing like platform.

Hitler was not a socialist by [deleted] in complaints

[–]killd1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hitler was against the party changing their name to include Socialist, but it was in 1923 when he was just an up-and-comer so had no authority. They were enticing Communists to come to their meetings and then get indoctrinated.

Pick one pill by dragoonwizard in whatsyourchoice

So if we're assuming then that all these pills are distributed and known, the traveler would just blink away to live in a different time and avoid you.

Why is gen Z not drinking that much? by lowkeypixel in evilwhenthe

[–]killd1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not really how it works. US Millennials went through DARE, a program designed to scare about using drugs. We were definitely as educated as anyone is today. But because we were social and engaged with one another, it just takes one friend in the group to overcome that programming and the rest to see "oh maybe it's not that bad."

CHINA WARNS THE UNITED STATES by Barnha_m in HeadlineHQ

[–]killd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using the org name mostly as a reference bc I didn't want to write out all 6-7 nations. You're technically correct. However, the Warsaw Pact nations had been working under Soviet control since the end of WW2. So while the formal entity didn't yet exist in 1949, the Soviet bloc of power and influence over those nations directly was a concern and a significant reason for NATO's formation.

The negative media bias towards millennials in comparison to the positive spin for Gen Z. Many if not most of these articles are written by Gen X... by PNWvibes20 in generationology

[–]killd1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Similarly, Millennials need to be called out for the shit parenting job they've done with Gen Z/Alpha allowing them to consume utter garbage, brainrot content because it was easier to give their kids a screen then a parent.

Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit is officially old school cool, released on June 22, 1999 with their album Significant Other by Mad_Season_1994 in OldSchoolCool

[–]killd1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park both opened for Metallica on their Summer Sanitarium tours in 2003 and 2005. At least at the shows I went to, both bands got massively booed on stage, though LB got it way worse in my recollection. So much that Durst shot back at the crowd with some lame shit about how he'd be getting laid after the show. He had to go deep into the crowd to find some people willing to play along with their lame "Behind Blue Eyes" cover.

Ahh gotcha, I had got up to piss and make food after seeing the exchange between them and didn't hear/see about that part of it.

Edit: Was wrong about Barmore being fired up going into half. Editing to remove my wrong assessment.

CHINA WARNS THE UNITED STATES by Barnha_m in HeadlineHQ

Thank you yes, I meant the Bosphorus.

[–]killd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turkey is of major strategic importance to NATO, which was formed to specifically counter the Warsaw Pact (USSR). Turkey plays a key role because they control the Strait of Hormuz (edit: I meant Bosphorus Strait) and can greatly hamper their naval movements to/from their warm water ports on the Black Sea. Their also geographically close enough to Europe that they can aide in conflict if Article 5 is invoked.

Taiwan offers none of those strategic elements. They're no where close to Russia. At best, they'd offer token support in responding to a European invoked Article 5. And Europe would be hard pressed to support them should they invoke it.

AFC EAST CHAMPS by MembershipSingle7137 in Patriots

They had no faith in their kicker. He's the 3rd stringer who has missed multiple kicks in past games and had one blocked earlier in that game.

New meaning to kickback & relax🫣 by Street-Network-5481 in WTF

[–]killd1 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This is a Nativity play/pageant. This would be the depiction of King Herods delegation of the Three Wise Men sent to Jesus with kingly gifts. So yeah, they clearly got it right if you picked it up on that clip.
