Not So Sweet Cry Baby
🎮 In the wild world of PC gaming, one woman’s leap day decision turned into a comedy of errors. From Steam drama to media frenzy, it’s a tale of punching down and the perils of riling up gamers.
Gunfire at the Horizon
The oceanic game of tag turned extreme with WWII’s obscenely long-ranged naval guns—some could lob a shell nearly 30 miles with the accuracy of a sniper. Modern warfare’s “you can’t see me” battles once relied on lofty perches and plucky pilots in flimsy floatplanes to spot foes over the horizon. Current destroyers follow tradition, still able to send a “hello” 23 miles distant.

Rule 5 Warships – HMS Cheshire
Meet Cheshire, the purrfect shipgirl/catgirl combo. Her plushie’s havoc on shelves earns her a dedicated Rule 5 post. Maid, catgirl, tea brewer, and cruiser-class confusion—she’s a feline force to be reckoned with. Because who cares about naval history when there’s a catgirl in the fleet?
