On this day, 4 years ago the site was first launched (then a day later the first post made), Formed from chapotraphouse remnants, the old admins decided to make a site using Lemmy as its base. Originally called chapo.chat, Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.
Despite various sitewide struggle sessions, wrecker incursions from other forums and federation drama, Hexbear has keep growing strong in its 4th year, now with 4 megathreads, over 4 million comments, 300k posts and much more.
Its being great running the general megathread for a bit over 3 years, since i took over i have tried to get it mostly in time and just one unlike during the old times, i like to think i have done a decent job, plus i have also added a bit of reading material to them so you nerds can learn from them and i like to think you have been reading them 
, its also nice to see the new megathreads how they have slowing grown up to the size to the old general mega in the time of the old admins.

Also 24 hours after this is posted the admins are closing the site for a day, sorry
armor plate mechanics have gone from ruining COD's multiplayer to ruining its campaign as well. like i was expecting to hate the game's campaign because of political brainworms and the stupidest writing ever wrought by humans, not because i'm constantly getting cockblocked by 'heavy armor' enemies that completely interrupt the gameplay flow. like every single other enemy goes down in 2-3 shots but suddenly a guy that looks exactly the same as the other enemies (they all wear black tactical gear so at a distance they are all a black silhouette) takes 3 magazines of full auto headshots to put down. completely destroys any sense of flow or smooth movement through the environment and combat, you have to like dance around the heavy guy or play the peakaboo game with a piece of cover and reload between magdumps. literally the most annoying gameplay i have ever experienced, like its intentionally obnoxious. even aside from the realism aspect it just completely fucks the flow of the game, like even the halo games shield systems play better than this and i fucking hate halo.
The juggernaut LMG guy from original MW2 has really risen thru the ranks!
People who play cod deserve to suffer
