my squad of badasses in Brigade E5. I love this game so much. "Jagged Alliance but as an RTWP game" is such an underrated hidden gem of an idea.

Gameplay screenshot of Brigade E5: New Jagged Union. 5 mercenaries are standing in a "V" formation.

Flyer, an African mercenary who wields an assault rifle.

Checkout, a bald mercenary who wields a machine gun.

Taberone, the name I've entered for one of the possible Player Characters. She wields a carbine with a grenade launcher attached to it.

Sniper, a mercenary who wields a sniper rifle.

Dessert, the only other female mercenary. She wields an assault rifle.

My Uwy sticker is not immune to the effects of entropy... It has decayed over the years

This is a sticker over the gas cover of my car. It depicts Uwy, who is one of Yeon's OCs. (@yeon.uwy.rest)

The Uwy sticker has decayed over the years, and is visibly falling apart. Bits and pieces have fallen off, and what's left is peeling off.

That one code used for a "fast inverse square root" comes to mind. I'm not much of a coder or mathematician, but surely someone who understands better would see that it truly is a work of art. (Source for the image used: Wikipedia page for "Fast Inverse Square Root")

$float Q_rsqrt( float number ) { long i; float x2, y; const float threehalfs = 1.5F; x2 = number * 0.5F; y = number; i = * ( long * ) &y; // evil floating point bit level hacking i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 ); // what the fuck? y = * ( float * ) &i; y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); // 1st iteration // y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); // 2nd iteration, this can be removed return y; }$

the mad libs dialogue in Arma: Armed Assault just hit me with the six-seven. and the cadence shift further emphasized it. "Five! Move to. Echo! Foxtrot! SIX. SEVEN."

Green text that reads:
"1 (Taberone): '5, MOVE TO FE67'"

Shoutout to the 2D ironsights from Rainbow Six: Lockdown. They look so neat in a way that 3D ironsights don't usually do. I think it's the blurring effect and even the transparency effect that's missing from games with 3D ironsights. (All images in this post are from PCGamingwiki)

is it me or are 2D ironsights so much better than 3D ironsights. 2D sights have so much better visibility than 3D sights and I adore that. (First image is mine, the rest are from PCGamingWiki)

I'm starting to think these bigass bunny ears might be counterproductive for hiding in the grass. Maybe lop-eared rabbits have the evolutionary advantage here?

A roblox girl with black hair and white rabbit ears is hiding in the grass. Behind her are some buildings and roads. Her rabbit ears are sticking out of the grass, making her very visible. She is also wearing a rabbit themed hairclip and night vision goggles.

Heat Signature has some really satisfying combat once you master the art of throw-running and frame-by-frame combat. You can pull off inhuman feats like obliterating well over half a dozen people before they can even blink.

If y'all wanna draw my OCs of course you can

Black text against a white background. The following text is written:

"May I please draw your OC?"

Reshare this post if you encourage anyone who wants to draw your OC to do so. There is no need to ask for permission in advance.

You are welcome to draw my OC and surprise me with the result. Seriously. In fact, I encourage it. I will proudly display whatever it is you submit to me regarding my OC. There is a chance that I will sequel it about it for several days.

Even if you feel you aren't good at whatever artistic adventure it is you do, please feel free to submit it to me. I want to see what you have done.

(The text has finished and I will now shift to a personal note. There is possible typo regarding the phrase "I will sequel it about it for several days": perhaps the actually intended phrase was "I will squeal about it for several days?")

I wanted to see more about Big Boss's version of The Talk... His version is way more educational than the birds and the bees (Source: playthroughline.com/scripts/meta...)

This is a screenshot of a parody script for Metal Gear Solid V. It reads:

"Meanwhile, ELI has been generally MURDEROUS and DICKISH to everyone, so BOSS finally sits down with him for a TALK.

BIG BOSS

Look son, I get that you’re going through a phase. You’re at a tough age right now. I think it’s time we had “the talk.” You see, when you want to cut someone’s throat, you have to make sure to sever both arteries or else --

ELI

No, father! I’m sick of being your prisoner! I hate you forever! Gas Mask Kid understands me like you never could! I’m running away from home with him! We’re going to start a punk band and smoke drugs and major in liberal arts!

BIG BOSS

That’s enough, young man! Go to your room!

ELI

You’re not my REAL dad!

ELI’S RAGE gets magnified by GAS MASK KID, who uses it to control the METAL GEAR once again. ELI hops inside and FLIES AWAY FROM THE BASE.

ELI

See you in the climax, father!

(disappears in a haze of budget cuts)"

"Surprise, surprise..." "WILD DOG?!" "Don't you ever die?"

A one-armed bandit armed with a guitar. Only in "Canadian Simulator: Classic" on Roblox (And yes, I can still operate the shotgun despite missing an arm)

My character in Canadian Sim (referred to as CASim). She wields a bloody mace/baton combination. She wears a ballistic helmet with the visor down, body armor, a black skirt, and black shoes. She has lost her left arm, and only has the use of her right arm.

I finally finished my MGS2 playthrough Got quite the high bodycount and yeah, Liquid Snake was right when he went "you enjoy all the killing, that's why!" I thought my bodycount would be much higher, at least 250 people killed, so seeing it being short of 200 is surprising

The end-game results screen of MGS2 reads as follows
RESULT
PLAY TIME: 12:58:47
SAVE: 88 TIMES
CONTINUE: 35 TIMES
ALERT MODE: 20 TIMES
PERSONS: 191 KILLED
RATIONS: 46 USED

MGS2 end-game results screen, part 2. It reads as follows:
TANKER-PLANT
CODE NAME
ELEPHANT (Note: A picture of an elephant is visible underneath this word.)

Seeing this MGS2 line and a Deus Ex quote from one of the NPCs comes to mind: "In a former life, I was a mule dragging a stone plow up a hill in northern Thailand."

MGS2 Colonel saying "I was a North American Fall Webworm in my past life. Those were the good old days..."

MGS2 saying "What were you in your former life?"

The "Struggle Inc" mod for ACVI is pretty damn fun when everyone is so much faster. Here's my footage of the Rusty bossfight with the mod enabled.

Blood Debt (Roblox) combat is so brutal I love it Getting ragdolled from being shot and surviving long enough to be finished off is a mechanic that more games need

Been playing modded Hitman 3 and I've got this absurdity (I modded the game to have slow-motion and the guns to have extra damage and knockback)

how about the blue-haired mobster girl OC on the right (I don't have a name for her yet) pose could be like "resting a baseball bat over her shoulder"

Two mobster OCs of mine made in Walfas.

Left side: woman with long green hair and a beret. she wears a white dress shirt and orange tie with a black skirt.

Right side: woman with ponytail-tied blue hair and a fedora. she wears sunglasses, a black suit and tie, and black pants. a white dress shirt with a red tie is visible underneath her suit and tie.

dragging several bodies to work in DXMD and my coworkers still don't give a shit, even though I made sure they were cops this time

the game pictured is Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. the player is staring at four dead cops sprawled around the floor of their workplace. the coworkers within sight of the dead cops do not react to this in any way.

dragging a body to work only for none of my coworkers to respond. never change, Deus Ex.
