Not So Sweet Cry Baby

  • by

🎮 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

  • by

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.

Rule 5 Warships – HMS Cheshire

  • by

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?
