I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

  • For people who want FPS single player, squad control games. The choices are really original Ghost Recon, GRAW, Brothers In Arms, and kinda-sorta Full Spectrum Warrior.

    Arma is more open ended. There is a niche for a game that is out of the box squad control with missions designed around it.

    Sure you can tell people to keep replaying those old games over and over, but new entries into the genre would be nice. The graphics of this new game are a mix of indie game devs knowing their limitations and appealing to original GR era nostalgia.



  • There’s no good 1-for-1 way to represent it on a screen.

    In real life, the entire image in one eye would be the scope, and the other would be everything else. On a monitor with a little scope pop up you have a small image-in-an-image that you’re looking at with both eyes and bouncing back and forth with to the surroundings. Your brain isn’t processing it the same way.

    This is a case where i don’t think it is possible to replicate the real experience, but that doing image-in-image is a more annoying choice than others. I’d veto it on being annoying to play with grounds, and do hope what we see in the trailer either doesn’t represent how it works or is an option.

    The early use of this reaction gif was a little too new wave for my taste. But when wojacks started getting so many variations, I think it really came into its own, commercially and artistically. The whole reaction has a clear, crisp pixelation, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the gif a big boost. It’s been compared to frogposting, but I think Buzzposting has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

    Good. Messy, but that’s normal with a banh mi. The presentation and the flavor was more simple and felt more authentic than a lot of banh mis served in popular “fusion” restaurants where they all try to Guy Fieri up the flavor in some way.
