Before:

Kevin was born on the mossy hills of Scotland and lived for a while in West Lothian before the mores of pre-Thatcher and REALLY pre-Oasis Great Britain sent his family across the ocean to North America. They moved here and there and Kevin did the same when he was old enough. Now he lives in London with his family and a Dog.

Kevin Wardrop is an amateur writer, amateur photographer and professional pain in the ass. He has worked in the PC support business for most of his adult life and has been accustomed to simply answering technical questions as a matter of fiat, it was his career choice after all. Now he herds cats and puppies for a living as well as babysitting the web enterprises at the heart of western industry.

Dear protestors,
Y’all realize that people in NYC have been holed up in
tiny ass apartments the size of your car garage for
twice as long as you guys have? They don’t have any
beaches and most of them don’t know what a ”porch"
is. Restaurants being shut down means most of them
have to cook in kitchens that are built for instant
ramen at best. Almost nobody has a car so they can’t
hoard toilet paper like you fuckers or escape to a
nearby town to take a walk in a park by a lake.
Yet they’re all making silly videos on F8, shouting
thanks to healthcare workers at 7pm every day while
you motherfuckers block the paths to hospitals, and
they’re coming together like a community to defeat
this thing despite going through hell. You know why?
Cuz you guys are a bunch of fucking pussies. You
snowflake ass Motherfucking pieces of shit need to
whine about your rights getting trampled on cuz the
government is telling you what to do with your
bodies?! Seriously. Fucking puke in my mouth. And all
those guns and ammo vests n shit? Who the fuck are
you gonna shoot? The virus?! Doctors?! Put the
fucking guns away, you psychopathic, insecure, ass
hats. Go the fuck inside and stay there and stop
fucking protesting.

It says a great deal about the Conservatives that Andrew Scheer is still speaking for them, they’ve just thrown their hands in the air, admitted they have the moral low ground and have decided to dig a bit, to see what else is down there.

America: Nothing exists beyond your own grasping grip and everything that does isn’t yours so grab it all, grab it tight and don’t let go. Everything else is Gods.

What happens when someone contradicts their boss in public?

What happens when that boss is notoriously thin-skinned?

Here’s the same scenario we’ve seen play out over and over, Trump says something dangerous or stupid; a professional steps in, contradicts him publicly, and in about 20 days, they are out of work. At this juncture it’s a medical professional who is being asked to help deliver the tired rumblings of a man who has no idea what is going on at this point.

So, how long until Dr. Fauci is out of a job? I give it 20 days.

Fortnite: Save the Game

Published by NiteMayr on April 5, 2020

I’ve played “Fortnite: Save the World” for YEARS now and it’s not as good

That long title says it all, I used to play “Save the World” ALL the time, anyone who has seen me in game will recognize my banner as one of those ones that Epic gave us play-testers, I played the game before the deliver the payload mission was added, there was a time when outlanders had a neat “gravity bubble” power so the could get high like a ninja…

anyway, that aside to show me cred, I don’t like playing Save the World anymore, not like I used to, I played EVERY night for ages and even when I lost interest I’d try to play 99.9% of days (there have to be days away from the Internet)

So when I say “I don’t enjoy it anymore” that is saying something.

I started playing Battle Royale when I found out about the bases on the map, and the story missions and tasks have kept me playing

I used to spend HOURS in maps in STW just exploring, this is the level of commitment to STW I’m talking about and the level of goodwill that the STW team and EPIC have lost in me. I didn’t even bother with trying to get the spy weapons

Save the world used to be more than a wave shooter to me; but the game is just a borderlands in a bottle game now, and that’s what’s sending me to Battle Royale (never mind that the toxic players are like less than 1% of the player base now, so that’s nice)

So, in short, the Toxic player problem is mostly not a thing in BR (or it isn’t for me) I’ve loved the narrative in the current “season, whatever” and It’s a CRIME that I don’t look forward to Save the World everyday like I used to.

The Lobbers, by the way, were the worst thing of all the recent changes, having 20 or so bombs landing all the damn time in some missions? What?!?!?!
