CO

VA here as mentioned before

we be getting bigger for airsoft

We are?! Can’t fucking wait then

My brother is in TX, you may have actually played airsoft with him if you've played in the last 4 years

within the map? 😛

Old maps are hilarious.

Manassas just opened up a cqb field @Crimsom

They're all.. brown and stuff.

Buncha nerds who didn't know electricity was gonna be huge.

What idiots even I knew that

You got like 4 fields on the coast

I have no respect for anyone who didn't know electricity was gonna be everywhere!!

maybe more

People in history are RUBES.

Buncha hayseeds who didn't know the future. I hate em.

Makin a bunch of things that were gonna be totally outclassed newer inventions.

"I'm gonna make a MAP." Oh are ya. Ya FUCK.

I miss laser tag

We’ve got virtually none near were I live. A hour and a half drive might be worth it

laser tag is hype

Damn plebs

Flex on the plebs.

No electricity as late as 1507

💪

@Revan Do you fall within the map? 😛

there are some fields around Richmond

and Roanoke has a field

Roanoke is for the birds

I know Roanoke has a field, been there once before

Rye North, looks like I don't fall in that map of Texas

i used to work at The Swamp Fun Park in Gloucester VA

Ah. Sorry, you can't come to Texas, then. 😄

Does... does that mean I broke the law when I visited my aunt and uncle last year for Thanksgiving?

Be careful where you go in Colorado. Rangers are on their way.

lol

Texas Rangers

Yes, put your hands in your disk drive, you are under arrest

It amuses me to no end that Sargon and Dankula have managed to do what they've done.

Like holy shit.

The import question now is: are the Rangers only allowed to patrol those parts of CO that used to be in TX, or are they hunting me?

It's an effective blockade.

I worry that they wont change the sketchier aspects of the party though

Memetic magic is finally observable

/\

Better go pretty deep into wyoming if you're west-coast bound.

Here's the question.

Why are rangers..

Why would one go to the west coast?

oh.

A class in D&D

They always seemed odd.

Not really

A staple that was always in there.

Because Strider called himself a ranger on LotR

They're based on the Dunedain Rangers in LotR, yeah

/\

forgive me for not putting the diacritical in Dunedain, I can never remember the ALT code for it

Tolkien was a genius

and he didnt even know it

saaaaame

It's pretty impressive how 90% of fantasy settings are just direct ripoffs of lotr

To be fair, D&D has expanded past a direct ripoff of LotR

LOTR ripped off plenty.

basically

90% of the remaining settings are direct ripoffs of D&D

oh def

0250 ú

And true

LOTR has a lot of elements from myth and folk tale etc

I had to learn that range back when I was a wee lad.

Even Capcom ripped off Tolkien.

The resemblence is uncanny..

lel

kek

I always felt like I found better searches for my pokemans when I searched with a è

(Real talk: Best theme in the game.)

DnD fucking ruined the layman's understanding of historical weapons nomenclature

D&D has Balrogs too

Balors.

Balrog looks ready to defend his pudding.

(first picture, not second)

Whoa we both posted the same pic.

I don't see a difference

It's like someone took a photocopier

Naah, there's a subtle difference

I can see it. It's hard, but it's there.

It might just be the next frame in a cutscene or something.

fellas is Birdie transracial 🤔

rofl

the musician?

The street fighter character

This guy.

He's english.

looks like an incarnation of le 56 face

pffft

le 56% face

amazing meme

When are they going to bring back the real best character from SF1?

Mike

notice it hasnt showed up on Reddit yet

there for still living

Street Fighter 4

Soul Calibur 2

Those are the only games in those franchises as far as I'm concerned.

Good ol' Dan.

Soul Calibur 2 is the only SC game I've played

I mastered Ivy's cutscene move

Both of them, actually.

Woah man, now I can understand SC2, but ignoring SF2 and 3 is just unforgivable

One of these days we'll manage to keep the video game discussions in the gaming channels

How can you ignore the new world of street fighter 3.

Nah, we're too disorganized for that

It's the third strike y'all, it's street fighter 3.

I never played it.

I tried to play Street Fighter 1 and 2

but I kept trying to do Street Fighter 4 stuff.

(If Gill is in the middle of ressurecting, and you're Dudley, the rose will interrupt it perfectly)

Who remembers legend of huma?

hmmm...

Gill was such bullshit

<#464233883303673868>

He really was.

Maybe I should play it.

Rose was awesome in 4

IMHO

I played her and Juri.

Lagomaster, if we move to gaming-general, Miss Scribblehatch won't be able to discuss

I got really good at holding Juri's projectiles

Funny story.

oh

I knew Capcom lifted a lot of Jojo

But to what extent, I had no idea.

Don't forget Guile and Stroheim

Everyone knows that one tho

Also Benimaru and Polnaref while we're at it

Oh and..

Have you played Final Fantasy 6 by chance?

The Jojo fighting game Capcom made is top notch

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they originally wanted to turn SF into a Jojo game but there were copyright issues at this point

WRYYYYYYYYYYYY

*drops a steamroller on all of you*

That whole excursion of Sabin getting stranded from the others. That's meant to be an allusion to Stardust Crusaders.

*proceeds to kill Steamroller*

THIS TRAIN IS ALIVE

ENEMY STAND

I don't get why stardust crusaders is the most popular other than the funny maymays

I like the OVA line a letter better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvTXyd0ZyJ0&feature=youtu.be&t=55s

SUPLEX THAT TRAIN

I like Battle Tendency more.

But I can appreciate Stardust Crusaders for cinching the Dio plotline so perfectly.

Really though this game was amazing https://youtu.be/bK8m0L7wo5M?t=53

Oh. Steel Ball Run. That's definitely my favorite.

I skipped Parts 5 and 6.

I liked part 4 the best, but SBR isn't far behind

And of Steel Ball Run's arcs, Sugar Mountain was the best.

I hated 90% of 5. For some reason it's supposed to be really popular in Japan though. Maybe the translation was bad?

Part 4 has a reference to the most obscure shit in the world.

I can't find the exact page.

But the stand itself was a shapeshifter

And the character makes reference to WIDGET of all things

... WIDGET.

Don't know what Widget is? Well join the club.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFwoG2P-s6U

How the hell was Araki aware of this?

In the anime, they dropped this reference. And that upset me.

Because in the part 3 anime, they didn't drop the Weird Al reference.

I don't like this. Why would you show me this?

Well, Weird Al is somewhat better known

Oh you're not meant to like it.

The whole ordeal is meant to make you squint

And wonder why.

There we are.

Oh, yeah I've heard of it.

It's that cartoon about a shapeshifting purple alien. Everyone knows that.

I see. So you are a man of culture as well.

That show was technically before my time

It started a few months before I was born

Would've made more sense if the character said

"Gumby. You've heard of it, right?"

But that's making sense.

Gumby I've heard of, but Gumby has been around since 1956

And not necessarily a bizarre adventure.

and was started in the U.S.

For this dog, anime became real.

I think Elon Musk is drunk.. he's going on about short shorts and thigh-highs

Who wears short shorts...?

all the good girls

(NO)

Fuck you, thigh highs are the best.

(THAT IS NOT THE LINE)

(GOD DAMN YOU)

Are you expecting me, and eurobean to knwo some 60 year old burger song ?

Well.

It's an older song than I am.

I know of it.

Country fails to matter, when you learned of it as quickly as this moment just now.

That's the sort of way I learned of it.

You have no excuse, you uncultured **swine**

Next you're gonna tell me you never heard of Surfin Bird

I think I should call it a night

Revan.

going on a group hike tomorrow morning

You know of Surfin Bird, surely?

Confirm before departure.

I know of them, but I'm unfamiliar with most of their works

...

It's a single song! >:U

_was trolling_

o

Well good job

Or you're lying.

To be honest, I'm tired. When I first typed it, I wasn't thinking straight

as soon as I hit Enter I remembered

anyways, I'm off to bed for tonight

ttyl

yum

Please take anything i say or said as pure sarcasm. Except for anything involving sympathy or empathy. I actually think those two emotes are weaknesses. Lol

Damn

Elon is a man of culture and refine taste

```"Persecution for the expression of opinions seems to me perfectly logical. If you have no doubt of your premises or your power, and want a certain result with all your heart, you naturally express your wishes in law, and sweep away all opposition. To allow opposition by speech seems to indicate that you think the speech impotent, as when a man says that he has squared the circle, or that you do not care wholeheartedly for the result, or that you doubt either your power or your premises.

But when men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundations of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas -- that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely can be carried out.

That, at any rate, is the theory of our Constitution. It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment. Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge. While that experiment is part of our system, I think that we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe and believe to be fraught with death, unless they so imminently threaten immediate interference with the lawful and pressing purposes of the law that an immediate check is required to save the country."``` -Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes 1919, which changed how freedom of speech is known today.

Almost 100 years ago.

What a chad

a fucking unit

Absolute UNIT

that's what i meant, i'm tired

No I wasn't correcting you

i know, i still meant to say that

@Timcast upon seeing the twitter ban video, first thing i came to think of <https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/>
