Just found out that Ken Ashcorp was foreverpandering and that blew my fucking mind.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath coming to Switch, baby!
 
Nostalgia time.

Once again, LazyPurple speaks for us all:
 
 

I just found out that one of the people I sit directly next to in one of my classes is a famous Runescape player also known for being a massive asshole and is currently causing drama in classroom chats for no particular reason.  I am now currently questioning my perspective skills since I'm apparently the one person who didn't know about this guy in the building.

Here for my semi-annual post bc status updates don't count
life update: have graduated college, currently live/work in Charlotte.

Instant action coming back boys.

I'm glad we all agree that infinite scrolling is fucking awful.

Never a bad thing to remember the past. I never remove people from my friends list unless they're something like a trade bot.
 
 
Yeah, they got it right early on and then just kept innovating until it became shit.
 
I, personally, blame phoneposters for the demise of forums.

Big fan

I can't wait.

Relevant:
 
 

I chose on the basis of unlocks that stick to the core of the class while still creating new and interesting facets of play.
 
Scout:
-Soda Popper, Bonk, Sandman
 
Soldier:
-Direct Hit, Gunboats, Market Gardener
 
Pyro:
-Backburner, Detonator Axtinguisher
 
Demoman:
-Loose Cannon, Sticky Jumper, Ullapool Caber
 
Heavy:
-Brass Beast, Dalokohs Bar, Fists of Steel
 
Engineer:
-Frontier Justice, Wrangler, Gunslinger
 
Medic:
-Crusader's Crossbow, Kritzkrieg, Amputator
 
Sniper:
-Sydney Sleeper, Jarate, Bushwacka
 
Spy:
-Diamondback, Your Eternal Reward, Dead Ringer (Red Tape Recorder too if we're allowed)

No, he self-imposed those rules. I wouldn't have cared anyway though.

I chose this way: Unlocks should enable new play styles.  Didn't consider balance at all; presumably if we only had one set of unlocks they'd be better balanced.
 
Scout:
Force-A-Nature/Bonk!/Boston Basher
 
Soldier:
Beggar's Bazooka/Buff Banner/Gunboats
 
Pyro:
Thruster/Flare Gun/Axestinguisher
 
Demoman:
Sticky Jumper/Splendid Screen/Eyelander
 
Heavy:
Honestly I dunno.  Sandvich is kind of essential for the class, but it would work better as a stock replacement.
 
Engineer:
Rescue Ranger/Widowmaker/Gunslinger
 
Medic:
Crossbow/Kritzkrieg/Quickfix
 
Sniper:
Huntsman/Razorback/Jarate
 
Spy:
Enforcer/Dead Ringer/Eternal Reward

2:54 had me fucking rapt. Awesome editing as always; ironically never lazy.

I take back what I said about Fortnite. Tetris 99 is unironically the most skill-indexed battle royale right now.

No one's going to believe that a spy actually died.  It's just a dead ringer feint.

Last week of January.

MY SKYRIM DAILYMOTION LETS PLAY CHANNEL! NO!!!!!

Pretty sure I read about this in the Bible.

Back from Iowa. Almost fell on my ass several times because of the snow and ice but it was a nice enough place, even if we were almost killed twice in car crashes because of Dubuque drivers.
 
Grandpa is going to die in a couple days most likely, but that's what we thought and that's why we went: the main reason was to say hi (goodbye?) to grandpa and clean out his apartment. Which despite being relatively small (one combined kitchen and living room with a small bedroom, a closet, and a kitchen) took about 4 hours each day for 4 days. I learned a lot about him and his life doing that at least. I knew barely anything about him before then, since he was thousands of miles away and family rarely comes up in conversation. He was one hell of a guy. A medic in the Korean War, an English teacher, a provost at a community college, hell he was even the "Masked Marvel" on his basketball team in the 50s. He used to write poems and send them off to greeting card companies for a few bucks each, and he'd write a lot about a lot of things in general. He researched his ancestry; nothing really noteworthy (mom's side was Germano-Nebraskan farmers, dad's side was French-Canadian later Iowan tailors and farmers, and apparently one of the earliest settlers of Montreal was one of them). If I can do even half of what he's done I'll die happy. Which seems to be the way he's doing it, he's at peace with it all. As he said he's 91 and not really dying of anything in particular, and my dad and I think he's just ready to go on.
 
In less intimate vacation news I went to my first casino, which sucked. I don't know why old people love these things, and I'm not even adverse to gambling. Saw Eagle Point Park and Mississippi Lock and Dam #11, whose tourist placard said it was the only major lock and dam that had not yet undergone maintenance and restoration! Wowwee. Also saw the world-famous Dubuque shot tower which opened in the 1850s and closed within 3 years because the St. Louis shot tower undercut its prices and drove Dubuque's tower into bankruptcy. It's so world famous that I decided that even though I wasn't going to take any pictures during the trip I would make an exception for this tourist hotspot.
 
 
Don't be too jealous now, it'll still be there if you wanna book a flight to see it yourself. The casinos are only a couple of blocks away.
