Insurgency and CS:GO with friends.

Mostly I do but sometimes I'd just rather get them out of the way quick and go about the game. Besides, it's fun to fight child with child sometimes.

This is gonna be a very odd rant coming from a mod because it involves the subject of willingly breaking rules.

These rules specifically being custom server rules in online games. More specifically, the banning of weapons/tactics that was clearly a feature the game designers intended for use, and are only there to stack the odds in favor of the people who run the servers.

EXAMPLE

Battlefield. Let's go with 3. There are servers out there that ban the use of stingers and other seeker type AA weapons on maps where helicopters can spread total hell. And guess where you can find the creators of these rules when they're playing? In a helicopter. If they're not in a helicopter, then they're waiting in limbo until the helicopter respawns in which you can continue to find them in a helicopter. I've not so affectionately begun referring to these people as helijockies.

As for servers with rules like these? Well, fuck it. They may as well ban me now because if they're gonna employ childish tactics to stack the game in their own favor because they can't deal with the idea that someone's gonna use perfectly balanced counter-equipment to shut them down then you bet I'm gonna break that rule. I will wear that childish ban with childish pride. Besides, it saves me the trouble of accidentally stumbling into that server again in the future so it's really a win situation for me.

I can understand and respect modded servers that limit tactics for the purpose of balance(aka hardcore servers that limit recon to like 2-3 slots, because honestly, 10 recon per team in a 30 vs 30 game is nothing short of chaotic.) but when someone's banning the only effective ways to deal with their favorite role then, well, I'm guess I'm getting banned. They put those stingers in for the express purpose of taking down choppers and balancing the field and I intend to use them fully to that benefit, children with admin status be damned.

The rules may as well read "No killing admins." It'd be just as stupid.

Reading a book and icing my knee. Twisted it funny on a hike and now it won't stop popping when I bend it.

Drinking a Moroccan mint green tea. Helps me relax, despite the slight caffeine.

I'm sorry I can't do much to help Jeb. I can only imagine how that must feel.

The Long Dark

Well, it's a survival game true to it's word. Meaning you're gonna die eventually just how long will it take? No base building, no item hording; just looting and keep moving. Cold is your biggest enemy.

Not eating it anymore of course but just got back from a French restaurant where we ate for my parents 30th anniversary.

Got to try ostrich meat. It has the look and texture of steak but a unique taste I can't really compare to anything.

It's a pepperoni!

Mass unfollowing people on tumblr. Sticking to friends and art blogs. My sanity is on the line here.

That place is poison.

Regarding Sonic Boom my technical perfectionist still simultaneously laughs and cries about what Barry from Game Grumps discovered about how they did the cutscenes at the start of the game. So much bad practice and corner cutting going on there...

Overall good. Just got back from a 4 mile hike into the mountains where I live and discovered neat places I'd never thought was so close. Now we're smoking some pork for dinner and it smells amazing.

Update: tastes amazing too.

I was once on a pub where everyone on my team including me (blu) went sniper and we won faster than before. Depends on the coordination of the other team.

My dream last night was filled with strange stuff like going back to college to find my elementary school teacher is my instructor, and our class took place in the colleges apparent presidential classroom(???). After getting situated I opened up my laptop to find it just FILLED with porn which the instructor seemed to not even notice in the slightest.

Then later I was getting lobotomized while I was awake and finding the inside of my head is watermelon. This was going on outside the classroom.

I haven't had a dream this fucked up in ages.

And like I always say to that, breaking random form in a random thread can be pretty random because no one expects it.

Now to add my family rant. Lovely how dysfunctional family is becoming the norm in society.

My aunt is in a really bad spot. She's become a HEAVY alcoholic, and my cousin's only 12. My uncle is fucking useless in all of this because he just runs away from all of it, spending most of his life at work to avoid my aunt and avoid taking responsibility for my cousin. several months ago my aunt got diagnosed with a leaky heart valve and needs surgery to repair it, so what does she do? she practically triples her alcohol intake. Just 2 days ago she was checked into the hospital with chest pains. Turns out it was, what do you know, the alcohol. Her damn blood/alcohol level was 0.2% and she couldn't even speak. I'm about ready to call child protective services myself because my cousin does not need to be going through this.

And my uncle needs to wake the fuck up and realize that by avoiding the problem he's become part of it.

I must have dodged a serious bullet being like the only person in my family that hates the sensation of being drunk. I do drink, but it's like 1 to 2 times a month if at all and when I do it's almost always 1 drink then I'm done.

Still doesn't make me rich. o.o

Point is it's not where you buy it but what you buy. You can make good meals that last like a week off of about 50 or less. Buy in bulk and buy ingredients instead of pre-made food.

Unbreaking my laptop to use for some classes.

The... bus?

In all honesty I've pulled game saves with that mini sentry but that's usually because there's another engi acting as the teleport protector. Even then I still throw mine up in helpful areas.

Late night CoD: Well there's 1000+ people playing, but we're gonna pair you with the same 12. Forever. Have fun!
