maybe Zhuge Liang is the historical capital-A Assassin, and you're his protege

so while he's playing the lute up on the castle walls, you're sneaking into camp and stabbing a dude

it is fast *for Battlefield,* especially since the beta maps were smaller than normal

but I dunno... Titanfall and recent CoD have spoiled me

I'm still on the fence re: Battlefield 6

the beta was great, and it does really fit my multiplayer philosophy (teammates actually stick to objectives!), but it's also not nearly as fast, reactive, or fun (for me) to move and play

but what it does well, it does *really* well

these kinda folks are cowards who want to optimize everything to the point that they only make the best decisions, and that's just not how anything ever works

they're the same people who get mad at action choreography because they'd "just" do XYZ and kick the bad guy's ass in a much more boring way

it’s a real shame that the obsession with “canon” and wikipedia-ification of fiction has people playing choice-based games like they’re a problem to be solved rather than a series of choices you have to stand by.

the sheer amount of people I've met and befriended (and sometimes dated) thanks to social media can't be easily counted

also, reconnecting with people from the past! and a few jobs!

this is what happens when you post good

a fun experiment on here is to say something along the lines of "in the past i misread something and that was a mistake" and see how many people swoop in with "you fucking piece of shit you misread shit, fuck you"

I like competition as a concept, but like... in sports and games and stuff

I like to "win" at work, too, but never at the expense of someone else

So many people say they are "interested" in Japan yet they actually know little about Japan. The Anime fantasy version of Japan is no more real than Disneyland.

If you can't give me a 30-minute extemporaneous talk on what the Edo period is, your Japan knowledge is lacking.

Pratchett's books are some of the most intelligent, insightful and well-written literature of our time. The idea that it's not appropriate for adults is such an unbelievably shallow take it actually manages to outdo the Kemi Badenoch thing.

Padraig Reidy @padraigreidy.bsky.social · 1d

My probably-get-me-banned-from-Bluesky take is that a 45 year old woman saying her favourite author is Terry Pratchett is embarrassing for everyone concerned

Paul Haine @paulhaine.bsky.social · 1d

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild
