It is an earned title, once a Marine, always a Marine. If you made it through boot camp then you’re part of the gun club forever. It isn’t necessarily that hard to get through boot camp, tens of thousands of high school / college age people do it a year. But earning your Eagle, Globe and Anchor is an emotional experience typically followed by a 4 year roller coaster of training, deploying overseas, and losing friends. If a stranger with no context says you don’t rate a title you earned for life it is upsetting to say the least. Cynical people call most of the things Marines do is propaganda.

I am a Marine and even after I retire I will still be a Marine. The Vice President left active duty and they served honorabley, so they are still a Marine. To be called an Ex-Marine is a derogatory comment typically reserved for those that were forced out or basically have been determined can no longer claim the title.

Dude sounds like he had normal human values, then he got some power as a politician and now he is just living a persona to appease certain people. I still can’t believe he is a Marine.

Thanks for sharing!

The reviews are mostly positive, do you want to expand on why you didn’t enjoy it? Is it a poorly made game, or is it just not a game genre you don’t like? Poor art, slow controls, or a boring story?

I liked it when crunky had the cute hamster with a cowboy hat on it, i have only seen the generic one with no characters on it recenrly though. They must have add campaigns.

I kept buying from Prusa, and people on reddit told me i was wasting money. I have no regrats.

Jehovah’s witness fan art makes for such great memes.

I figured social media was already doing that further left of an event by shadow banning posters that could create communities and foster protests. It is far cheaper to keep people feeling helpless and disconnected from other disenfranchised people.

Capitalism with Chinese characteristics strikes again.

It takes less effort to copy + paste the information from the article then to type out a snarky comment. I got time so I’ll do both.

The first group is so-called “dual deskers” - knowledge workers who have a desk with a monitor at work and another at home. The second group includes deep-pocketed call centers or environments where desk space is at a premium.

Sounds like companies that hate their employees.

Warhammer cheated and only created Lizardmen that magically come from spawning pools. Anything else is a distraction from the great plan.

The second to last time i bought DLC at launch was the assassins creed game in colonial america, which was a waste of money. Then Starfield came out and you could play it a weekend early if you bought DLC, another scam. It is so much more fun to buy an indy game in alpha and get an update every few months from someone isnt a whore for share holders.

Reminds me of ebaumsworld reposting content from newgrounds. I don’t care articles get reposted to lemmy, keeps the site moving, but is also uncool to not cite where you find things.

You are right. But there is a sweet spot between passionate indy game dev that spend all their free time on a game, and factory minimum wage EA employee that does the bare minimum to keep their job, where you got old Bioware, Bungie, and Bethesda titles. They had just the right amount of human misery and passion.

The post is not captioned correctly. It is a US Navy aircraft. US Marine aviation typically sticks to Iwakuni and Okinawa, this post occured near Tokyo.

Marines already started recieving the new 53Ks 4 years ago. It is completely new helicopter that just looks similar to the legacy Echo. Navy took awhile to buy the Ospreys, it is only a matter of time until they get 53Ks.

Suzuki Sidekick, a later version of the Suzuki Samurai. Would eventually be followed by rhe Suzuki Jimny. They are all incredible.

Western Infantry officers will be in shambles if this could be repeated again and again. It has to be tough killing one UGV while quad copters are overhead let alone dozens of them rolling up.

Abiotic Factor had a sentient yellow paint can that had very clearly marked the correct path in an open map. You never meet the can, but there is yellow paint thrown all over the place in some areas, but it also marks a few entrances. Is yellow paint a common trope? I had no idea it had a deeper reference.
