Actually America's Army what meant to be a training aid for people who were already in the Army, but as it turns out being able to do something in a video game has no effect on whether you can do it in real life. So the Army decided they had to do something with it so they put it on Steam.

I know its annecdata, but the folks in my bootcamp class who played America's Army did better on the range than the guys who hadn't. I know Iron Sights are old hat now, but there were a new thing back in 2000, and having seen a realistic sight picture meant you knew what it was supposed to look like. Everyone who'd played all pretty much came to same conclusion and we noted how spot-on the qualification range in the game was to the real one. It was really bizzarre and non-intuitive in the game, but once you have a guy in smokey bear hat yelling the exact instructions on how to stop fucking up at you, it clicked.
Probably less useful now that BCT qualifications are moving to optics.:shrug:

the Marines had a custom Doom Mod that was designed to teach coordination and communication, not any direct combat skills. It let officers see how how a plan of attack looked on paper, then watch their marines try to execute it on the ground, where landmarks were different and LOS didn't work like seemed like it should on a map.

And let me guess, John: you'll load up your 3DS with Animal Crossing and filibuster until you're able to godmode legislation demanding that all e-sports teams must be 50-50 mean and women.

I love how she says she's so sad she's selling her audi TT cause it costs too much in maintenance... wait till she finds out what maintaining a porche costs especially being driven in hard American winters costs. (Why would you ever buy a porche to drive in the winter?!)

Oh wait maybe she's starting to get it now that she's paying like 7grand for a mere fender bender. Just wait till something really goes wrong on that thing mechanically. This is going to be a worse disaster than the audi by far I can't wait to see what happens.

Edit: but think of all the cool accessories she's now planning to put on it!

How many women have you hired for your campaign staff so far, John?

Natural out growth of #MeToo, I'd wager. No reason to bring on a potential lawsuit generator.

Hey John, why don't you form your own e-sports team made entirely of these top-tier women? That'll really show those fucking misogynists what for when they win the championship. Because they will, right? They weren't picked because of sexism, definitely nothing to do with their skill at the game, so there's no way they won't win the championship.

Brianna, if you actually read the article instead of just the title you'd know the article went to great lengths to explain why the female player in question wasn't added to the roster. Ironically, the writer mostly likely wrote all that in vain hopes to prevent idiots from saying something akin to today's latest Wu brand verbal diarrhea.

Ignoring that Overwatch is a joke from a competitive standpoint, it's a strongly team based game that revolves around cooperation, adaptability, and managing cooldowns. You can't just chuck a player into a team, even if you think they're skilled (and the player in question wasn't skilled at what makes a good Overwatch player, she just had good aim). There's ton of top players that have average aim at best that are selected because of their cohesion with the current roster, and conversely players are dropped for their incapability.

Competitive sponsors would have to be absolute mouth breathers to exclude a player that could assure success in a competitive environment because she dared to be born with a functioning uterus.

Careful. You have to remember the last time that happened.

There aren't women on professional esports teams for the most part in general.

Something I'm sure District 8 gives a shit about.

Oh wait.

Flu can't even play baby's first RPG without needing to cheat the shit out of it first. Or be a microtransaction whale.

Flu isn't selling the TT, that's another person.
 
Quarterly reports is due any day now. I'm guessing they went into the red with the new office and dwindling contributions. Plus didn't they rent out a theater? Website still down so one less avenue to push people to donate.

I really want her campaign to continue into debate season. I'm looking forward to watching this gaunt hagraven get dragged over the coals on a larger scale.

I don't even need to know that game to assume that yes, yes they did.

This is somebody who proudly posted an image of them playing one of the earlier FF games, fighting a puzzle boss with characters that were impossibly high level for that point.

Keep in mind that this is nothing but humblebragging lies. "Maintenance was too expensive" = "I bought a crappy used European car, fucked with its electronics (did he permanently fuck up the airbag? Found out how much the fix would cost and said fuck it?), and ruined the paint job, and repairing all my fuckups professionally would cost me another month of Frank's salary."

And the subtext of "I'm a cool lover of "classic European sports cars" and I buy them on a whim but golly gee it's ridiculous how expensive auto maintenance is for the average working American family, even an educated (lol), professional (lol), childless (by choice!) couple with two full time incomes (lol)."

Hope you drove your Porsche to the DSA meeting, Comrade Wu.

Edit: someone find the most elitist shit, like the Pokémon Limo or whatever, and add them to that DSA tweet chain. Maybe throw in the website being down for 3 weeks.

Yes John, the man was fired from one of the most prestigious companies in the world for providing a solicited opinion and subsequently documented almost 100 cases of viewpoint discrimination, but yeah he's clearly doing this because he hates niggers. Shut the fuck up.

Some woman started a google doc with names of men in the media and the anonymous allegations against them, the list creator was anonymous as well.

"Brianna Wu, a video game developer who is a candidate for the United States House of Representatives in Massachusetts, latched on to Ms. Cliffe’s offer. “Count me in for 1/2 that cost,” she wrote on Twitter."

I hope they don't expect to see any of that.

Without even thinking about it or checking it: Yes.

This is going to be fun, when she's claiming to be somewhere else, but her tweets say otherwise. Because with all that Ambien in her system she sure to forget it at some point.
