I'm here to kick ass and post cat pics, and I will never run out of cat pics.

Saw the UK Army is trying to recruit through Fortnite. An incredibly normal thing to normalise in a game that has a demographic weighted towards young kids to young adults.

Suppose it's good that they're being so open about it rather than the backdoor deals they make with games (and film) studios, with said studios trading off creative control, general morality, and the occasional actual cold hard true to god real world Factual Thing That Happened For Real, in order to access a select amount of materials and be "allowed to use the IP of gun manufacturers".

Anyway, fuck you Tim Epic.

it's a side thing, but on twitch i keep seeing this military ad of a guy barricading a cave and smirking and then this fuckin brick of a commando/marine appears and just hovers over his shoulder and it is both a bunch of racist tropes and weirdly homoerotic and idk i've had no one to say this to

The military is just dudes getting fucked in every possible way.

But yeah, them targeting Gamers isn't new but they had a bit of a lull about being so open about it.

Guess the whole Gen Z "actually that sounds like it fucking sucks" response to a lot of old traditional jobs/values is causing a drop in recruitment numbers and scaring them shitless.
