Battletech Gripes - and Games

Battletech Gripes - and Games

I've been enjoying the "Tex Talks battletech" historical overviews and sketches at the Black Pants Legion youtube channel [https://www.youtube.com/user/BlackPantsLegion], and more recently, the playthrough - with commentary - of the HBS Battletech game by Tex as the story of Scrombles the Mechwarrior. It's a game that - despite my not liking the PC dressing applied to the campaign, is a faithful interpretation of a game I've loved for decades. Funny as hell, but it reminded me of what is likely…

#NonTransparent by force.

Dr Kelli Ward posted an edited Scott Adams video that makes the same point I did a couple posts back [https://thelastredoubt.com/counting-ballots/]. It doesn't matter how much more evidence you have of specific ways and means of wrongdoing - it's just icing on the cake. The only thing you need to know is that they kicked the observers out. > The 2020 election was #NonTransparent [https://twitter.com/hashtag/NonTransparent?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] by force. #Bullying [https://twitter.co…

The botttom tweet below is a perfect example of "losing nicely" I don't hang out on twitter - no account. I also dont care if this is a Poe's law case of satire. I've personally had similar comments directed at me, and observed them being made on occasions far too numerous to count. It is wrong, and flat out immoral. From my own post on the Golden Rule [https://thelastredoubt.com/digging-into-golden-rule/] - or what Taleb calls the Silver rule: > Let me ask you this then. A bully adverti…

It's not a new concept, but one worth revisiting, that we are truly living in two different worlds from many of the self styled leftists, progressives, SJWs, and Democrats. To me, the biggest surprise of the last few years was the degree to which pretty little media and academic lies sway those who think that the NYT bestseller list is worth a damn. Instead of any form of reality kicking them in the teeth and making them realize that maybe they needed to re-evaluate things, they've only gotten m…

On the Lighter Side : Military Humor

A recent post pver at Walker's Retreat reminded me that I was long overdue revisiting "Skippy's List" - the list of things that Skippy is no longer allowed to do, or is pre-emptuvely banned from doing [http://skippyslist.com/list/]. > Explanations of these events: a) I did myself, and either got in trouble or commended. (I had a Major shake my hand for the piss bottle thing, for instance.) b) I witnessed another soldier do it. (Like the Sergeant we had, that basically went insane, and crucifie…
