Worms 3D is definitely full 3D. I own it.

And to be honest with you, I prefer the 2D games. The third axis makes some of the more skilled shots near impossible to make, and so there was always a bigger reliance on hitscan, melee and homing weapons. Which isn't as fun imho.

The latest 2D one has weapon crafting and vehicles, which feel a bit odd, but otherwise it's pretty faithful to Armageddon, the most famous 2D version.

So funny anecdote. I live in New Zealand.

For whatever reason, back in the 90s, Nintendo products were crazy hard to get. I had to order most of my N64 games from the states and wait 6 months to a year for them to arrive. PS games were a dime a dozen though.

As a result, PlayStation was EVERYWHERE.

This meant every electronic was a "playstation".

I just find it amusing, because it's the exact same phenomenon just a different brand.

I didn't get diagnosed until I was 29. Child abuse from when I was 7 was the main catalyst.

I could have quite easily gone my entire life struggling without a diagnosis, none the wiser.

I only ended up getting diagnosed because whilst trying to get some help with depression, one of my doctor's mentioned I could use my abuse to get an ACC claim (NZ universal accident insurance) for therapy. Through that, I discovered I had PTSD.

> Meritocracy

That word doesn't mean what you think it means. Meritocracy isn't a good thing, it was coined in a book of the same title that described how the UK education system was widening the class divide by allocating majority of it's resources to those who already had a head start.

Meritocracy is a BAD thing.
