    super late but my build with the lsat is similar but it swaps out the stealth to better display the versatility of the lsat. i run primarygf but i use the hybrid optic and fmj with the laser. switch cold blooded for toughness and the smoke for a semtex/frag and you got my favorite lmg class to run in bo2

    The p90 and a couple video games taught me one thing (thats not at all true but it sounds cool so imma roll with it): if you have awful aim, it doesnt matter how much damage a single round does if 50 are coming at you in about 15-20 seconds

    Legions are pro-war propaganda outlets, and same issue in canada, the canadian legion sued over an anti-war white poppy campain, claim they owned the images of all poppies, not just their blood soaked one. Poppie sales were a grift that is slowly dissapppearing.

    Leave it to the British Legion to quote unquote "defend our soldiers" by antagonizing an anti-war game that shows war as a very unhonourable and gruesome affair. It JUST CANT be because they directly profit from and benefit from the senseless loss of British lives in wartime... no....

    Fascinating history. I've always had a love-hate thing with the Amiga. Many great games and demos that mirror its exotic hardware, on the other hand such silly design choices like full multitasking without memory protection and only a simple floppy drive as standard.. Or a ham mode..without chromaluma but with rgb. Bitplanes for exotic trickery like cheap overdraw, transparant and paralaxing, but much worse for sprites requiring more hardware like a blitter.. And terrible for sprite scaling, shading or texturing. Still, in it's niches it dominated hard. And I'm really happy all those excellent games and pdotracker mods came from the creative minds of the Amiga designers and the creative users.

    Excellent video. I look forward to a day when "Roguelike" and "Soulslike" are outgrown as well. "Roguelike" becoming a procedural-permadeath-game or something, may come soon, as there's a lot of inovation in the genre, but I feel like soulslikes are still few and far between at the moment. Not sure when a "Clunky action game" or something will become normal.
