Amazing. Some of my favorite experiences in the new ones have also been creative problem-solving, like rocketing open a hole in a wall to allow my snipers to see through, or trying to carry my injured/dead soldiers with the good loot to extraction when I have to cut my losses and run.

Sounds like I should just go ahead and play the old ones too. I started one up earlier this year, but it wasn’t clear what all the buttons did, and I didn’t have the focus to figure it out. I need to look up the manual or watch a video or something.

I dropped it in c/humor because the bit the guy is doing made me laugh, but either it didn’t land with everyone or the bit is too subtle, because it’s getting lots of downvotes. Oh well.

Bonus:

I think it’s the Mandalorian

I was posting more for the funny reply, rather than to share the original article, but I can put a note in the post body that the pictured quoted article is misinformation.

He’s on a crusade to get rid of anything with more than one ingredient, including people.

He got it just in time to be broken.

No exceptions.

This has to be the best case outcome, lol
