This is the greatest progression of events I have ever read, where’s my historical gay romance novel about this
I just have to add that this is my favorite one I’ve ever made, you guys. I’ve waited like 3 years to do this one
The French Foreign Legion Doesn’t Need Guides!
Suriname, between 1986 and 1991:
Before leaving [on the mission to assassinate the Tacujana leader], the mercenaries were provided with a local guide: he was contemptuously dismissed.
[…] They were all corporals in the [French Foreign Legion’s Parachute Regiment], and they thought, “We’ll just walk down this trail here, and turn off at this branch here, and that’ll take us to the village,” – about 200 kilometers away! I said to them, “You can’t go like that. The trails shown on the map might not exist anymore – the jungle grows so quickly – so take compasses and maps.” These guys told me they didn’t need maps and compasses. I repeated, “You’ve got to use them or you won’t get there. You’ll get lost and die in the jungle.” Then one of them admitted, “We can’t read the map,” which absolutely amazed me, because they were corporals in the Legion.
Mick put it like this: “We’re fucking Paras. We’re airborne. When we need to go somewhere, we parachute in, and then we get taken out after we’ve done the business. We don’t have to learn how to map-read.”
So, obviously, they got lost.
As told by Alan ‘Bowen.'

Free Afternoon is an odd little nostalgic puzzler in which you use floppy disks, a rotary telephone and a cassette player while trying to install a game using the disks that you’ve copied from a friend.
When you hit your elbow against something, but that specific point of your elbow
it’s…called your funny bone…
that gif tho
It’s not a bone actually- it’s a nerve that is exposed, specifically the ulnar nerve. The reason it feels so weird to hit it is that it’s not designed to deliver pain signals, so when you hit it it just wiggs out and sends Garbage signals to the brain, and the brain is just like “uh, dude- Ulnar, what the hell is this garbage?? You’re supposed to curl a finger and a half, and move some muscles in the forearm, why are you sending me this crap? How am I supposed to make this into sensory output?”
And the Ulnar nerve is just like “dude dude dude, brain- what the hell is going on?!?”
And the brain goes- “idiot. Fine. You’re on fire, freezing and being electrocuted. Happy?”
And the Ulnar goes “holy crap brain!! I’m on fire, freezing and being electrocuted! What am I going to do!!??!”
And the brain says “you’re an idiot ulnar. A damn idiot.”
“The Bud’s Super-Needy Girlfriend Drinking Game” is starting!
You’re gonna want to eat something first.
The Pieces of Heart in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past are meant to reward players that may not be as skilled in combat for exploring the world far more than necessary. However, for players that wish to complete the game in its entirety, the life hearts in the upper right corner nicely make two even rows, letting players know just how many more they can still collect.
