That moment you have a several-hours-long dream where you have to fight the Copyright MAFIAA to protect the Open-Source ecosystem and, after winning, find out your team used a pirated Microsoft war-planning tool. Really, brain? REALLY?!
-
@omni what was the tool called.
-
@ceruleanspark I didn't ask for the name, I was too busy searching for who was responsible so I could hit him for that stupidity
-
@omni What exactly does a War Planning program /do/?
-
@ceruleanspark I don't know, really. The only thing I can tell you is that it didn't work well for planning as we were unprepared. It allowed us to see invisible Copyright Ninjas though, so that was useful (really, I'm not making this up as we speak)
-
@omni As directed by Hideo Kojima, apparently.
-
@ceruleanspark I will just assume he makes completely insane or terrible movies
-
@omni He's the director of the Metal Gear Solid series of games. The first MGS title has a character who is in fact, an invisible cyborg ninja.
-
@ceruleanspark But was that ninja dressed in a business suit?
-
@omni No, but if you've finished the game twice, the protagonist is.
-
-
-
@omni He makes completely insane movies but sells them as video games.

@conventrix It's not really war-planning if it's entirely reactionary though, is it.
-
@conventrix It seems like it'd actually be pretty useless, because how often does anyone actually fight a conventional war these days?
-
@conventrix its not called a retreat. its called "Advancing in another direction!"

@conventrix i know. i was just trying to make a joke :0 i totally failed tho lol

@conventrix Yeah. It makes much more sense to put that money into SIGINT and data mining ops.

@conventrix oh lol. just call me socially awkward penguin.

@conventrix Wasn't the M4 supposed to do that at some point?
-
@conventrix At this point, why aren't marines equipped with rifles that shoot around corners.
-
@ceruleanspark because the cornershot only accepts glocks.

@conventrix When those panoramic camera thingies you can just chuck around the corner are much cheaper and more durable.
-
@conventrix Are they still trying to replace the 5.56?

@conventrix Isn't it cheaper to give you guys decent equipment than it is to replace you?

@conventrix It's why I keep dismissing military tech work when it gets offered.
