A screenshot of a page from the core rulebook of the tabletop RPG "Lancer". The screenshot is of a third-tier talent called "Here, catch!", describing an ability where mechs can eject superheated fuel rods as a means of attacking their enemies. Exact text follows:

Here, Catch!
You've modified your mech to launch its superheated fuel rods at enemies. Gain the following weapon as an integrated mount:
Fuel Rod Gun
Main CQB, Limited 3, Unique
[Threat 3][Range 3][1d3+2 Energy damage]
On Attack: Clear 4 Heat

Sometimes you read an article that makes you feel like... idk... 15 years ago, some of us got on an express train and saw what was on the tracks ahead. And now we're on a call to the people on the slower train, now approaching, and they cannot comprehend the landscapes we describe as familiar.

ICE shooter Joshua Jahn's politics aren't what's being reported, three longtime former friends tell me.
