Valve should make Half Life-3 but it's just Half Life Full Life Consequences.

This whole city is a money laundering conspiracy theory (actually for real though) so they fit right in.
I'm from Pittsburgh so I've always supported the Penguins, so having Fleury (ex-Pen goaltender) face off against the Caps (Pens rivals) is goddamn poetry.

This could be a fun exercise, I might give it a go later. Pretty sure I can nail the first two, connected, and just about every detail but the route names. Pretty sure I could have a good stab at playing GSC blindfolded. Hoenn is tricky, I'm not 100% on what is going on in the top left, the water part is easy enough, and it will probably piece itself together as I go along. Sinnoh does have a big mountain in the middle, but Unova is a complete mystery to me. Kalos is circular and shaped like france, and SunMoon is just like, four islands? idk

Never paid much attention to the Knights (and I love talking about it's a money laundering conspiracy that they've made it this far cuz it makes people huff about how it's an underdog story) but I'm glad they won. Hope they take it home cuz that'd be insane.

Is the only reason we all stick around on this dying website because we have no one else to socialize with?

So! Finally got around to branching out on cosplays this last weekend at LvlUp Expo in Las Vegas. While I like my Kyle Katarn, it's starting to show some age and, on top of that, it's a little too obscure for a general anime/pop culture convention - it was originally made for a Star Wars con, though I still ended up with a bit of recognition, so I guess it wasn't horribly obscure.
My chronic procrastination and 40-hour work week(s) gave me very little time to work on anything but I managed to turn around a brand-new costume in about 2 weeks and... well, it shows in the paint and some construction quality. It was definitely 15-feet-rule worthy and gave me a good bit of insight into how to operate both my 3D printer and EVA foam - my first ever actually completed - so I'm still considering it a win, but it's no museum piece.
Then, on Sunday, I put together a low-impact costume of Dick Gumshoe (since I've always wanted to represent Ace Attorney in cosplay somehow) so I could walk around still referential to a franchise I like but one that I could use my hands in and not have to worry about parts falling off randomly.
It was certainly obscure, even compared to my Katarn, but it was still just within the wheelhouse of the con crowd to be instantly recognized by those In The Know. I think that feeling is the best for me when it comes to a costume: everyone can point out an Iron Man, or a Goku, or any other number of con staples, but to have people recognize the less-known character is great. Plus, the people who can point out your obscure costume are absolutely thrilled when they see your lesser-known character actually present. Hell, I got more requests to get a picture taken with me in my Dick Gumshoe than I did in my Tony Stark (which was a primarily single-subject shot, when people asked).
Overall, the con was great. Lots of stuff to see, even if it's a bit lower-key than I'm used to - two Star Wars Celebration cons have spoiled my sense of scale. Definitely inspired to do more costumes, with greater variety, and go to as many cons as I can (My next project: Freeman's HEV suit, mainly so I don't have to cut the beard). And, apparently, I need to use social media, or at least get a blog/page set up to document stuff, because people were asking who I was working for all con - even with my shoddy arm work. Also, I need to develop arc reactor kits for distribution because a lot of people wanted to buy that damn thing off of me.
Fun aside: There are still a lot of Homestucks around, apparently.

It's likely changed because the EU are introducing a new regulation on the 25th of May called the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). All companies which want to function in any EU member state now have to abide by the regulation. It's being introduced because currently there are no general rules for data protection across the EU, instead it's left up to the member states to regulate on it (which has caused issues in the past when people are living in one member state, but their data is being controlled/processed in another member state). The regulation covers a LOT of things, but I would speculate that them making game stats friends only is in order to cover themselves in the event that someone says that these stats come under the umbrella of 'personal data', which they would probably be correct in saying. The gist of the regulation is that the user has to be given the ultimate control of their data, and the company controlling or processing the data can no longer automatically opt people in, or have their opt-ins included in other terms like T&Cs when it comes to using their data in any way.
I've spent a decent amount of time reading the regulation in the past couple of months since it's cropped up in my classes, and in the solicitors firm that I had a a placement in. I can say that from what I've read and from what I've heard many other people say the regulation is and extremely good thing for the general consumer, and if I had to choose between this regulation being implemented or having my play time on steam games automatically shown to random people I think I'd choose the former every time.
