A Bridge Too Far is also a pretty good example of an anti-war "war movie".
(And IIRC it's reasonably accurate to the actual events of Operation Market Garden, to boot.)

Hell yeah!

Except... it's *not* moving out.
Once funds - be they dollars, pounds, zloty, lira, yen, euros, or dongs - are added to a Steam Wallet, they cease to have value outside of the Steam ecosystem.
It's a *one-way trip*.
(Before you ask: yes, the dong is a real currency, it's from Vietnam.)
No, what changes hands on the marketplace is Steam Wallet credit.
Which you can only use to buy things on Steam.
You can't, for example, go to Little Caesar's and buy a pizza with it.

...and to utilize those markets, you have to use third-party sites.
Which, last I checked, Valve explicitly says you Should Not Do.
1: The Legend of Zelda
2: One of the Final Fantasy games?
Bonus: No clue.
Describe your favorite games poorly:
Series - Green rocks fall, everyone dies.
Individual - It's too hot in here. I need a basketball, a see-saw, some pulleys, and a length of rope or two.
Bonus: Childhood feud almost destroys Earth/the Milky Way.
Actually, if you do some research, you'll find the first game to include lootbox-style mechanics was MapleStory in 2004.
The first *American* game to have them was EA's FIFA '09 (2008), with the "FIFA Ultimate Team" mechanic.
TF2 didn't add them until *2010*.
> be discussing ESRB ratings and parental responsibilities
> some rando injects implications of CSAM
> MFW:
It's *17+*, "bud".
If people under 17 are getting their hands on those games, that's the responsibility of *their parents* to deal with.
Not the government, and ESPECIALLY not the pearl-clutching puritans currently in charge of New York State.
No, it's absolutely bullshit.
And there are scientific studies to prove it, including this series of three done at Western Michigan University: wmich.edu/news/2016/11...
And in case that goes down, here's an alternative archive: archive.ph/agKbU

It depends on where/how you're facing her.
During a dogfight in an XM-1? Obviously it'd have to be "I have you now!", right after she gets a missile lock.
If we're talking in other arenas, I'd lean towards "Taste your mortality!" right before using Mindfray.
She also wrote an entire mystery set in an advertising agency: "Murder Must Advertise", which took place almost entirely at the (admittedly fictional) Pym's Publicity.
(It's one of my favorite Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, up there with "Clouds of Witness" and "The Nine Tailors".)
He was also the voice of Spider-Man in "The Spectacular Spider-Man"!
...and read a bunch of the assorted Spectacular Spider-Memes on YouTube.

It's a crashed UFO, yeah? Could be the crash part is what got it flagged.

Yes, really.
If there were a problem with existing image-format standards conflicting with each other, I could see WEBP having a use case (as a unifying container that eliminates those conflicts).
But there's no such problem, so I stand by what I said: it's a solution looking for a problem.
WEBP is a solution looking for a problem.

I'd say "unnecessarily creating the (x+1)th competing standard" is a bad thing, but hey.
It's your hill to die on.
