The hours do not exist for me to spend as much time playing The Witcher 3 as I'd like.

It's kind of nutty how many things they got right. You'd call a shooter innovative for one major system that was unique, this game has like 10. It's bonkers.

Was building barricades on top of a FOB in Wardogs when an enemy climbed a ladder and killed me. We were talking in proximity chat and I told him all I had was a hammer, so he revived me. Few moments later I got sniped by one of his random teammates so he revived me again. Nice guy.

Played my first two rounds of Wardogs. Took 3.5 hours. Maybe the most fun I've had in a shooter in my life. I can't believe what they've built.

Hey, @stevedangle20.bsky.social. Was just watching the clip of Matthews getting 421, and when they empty the bench to swarm him I was struck by how many folks are gone. It's crazy.

This guy doesn't speak for Canadians. I'm not feeling wounded and I'm not confused. Most Canadians are itching for a fight right now. Our PM (who is not this turd) is being far more measured than most Canadians would be in his shoes.

I've been working night and day on our Stalker 2 map, adding in new stuff from Cost of Hope. Overall, I'd estimate that it will be another 100-200 hours and a full play through of the entire game to add new stuff and tidy up what is already there. But man, I love mapping in the Zone!

The new Tsuru Reef map feels like going back and playing BF3 or BF4. This is the most fun I've had playing BF in a long time, and I tend to enjoy BF6 already.
