Managed to land a plane and stop before shooting past the runway. And in a manner that didn't involve a fiery explosion.
F16: Multirole Fighter, and old, old flight sim. My flightstick/throttle arrived yesterday. My biggest gripe with it is that the flightstick can twist, giving it a z-axis, but several games so far confuse this with the rudder on the throttle. So, to yaw, I have to twist the flightstick rather than the rudder. So far, only B17: The Mighty 8th doesn't do this, because you can manually set what axis does what - when first booted it up, the rudders handled both yaw and throttle for some reason.
I had that game at one point but my pc at the time could not run it. Instead I was always just entranced in the detail just from reading the manual and by the time I got a decent computer I had lost the discs. I oughta see if I can find it on GoG or something.

My own own wasn't so much of an own as one of those heroic moments everyone dreams about having in an mmo. FF14 I'm casually fishing in coerthas central. Helping a buddy level his fishing by using my
'provider of the realm' to capture all the fish he needs easier than he could so he could turn them in for repeatable quests so he'd level faster.
Another player I don't know comes close to my fishing hole and examines something on the ground before being attacked by a monster. Clearly part of some low level quest I don't remember. I continue fishing, even as a non combat class, just by virtue of levels the monster is no threat to me. Then I notice the player is starting to lose the fight. So I calmly catch the fish I had on my hook, switched class to Dragoon, and absolutely destroyed the monster in a few jumps. The player was very grateful and thanked me profusely while I went back to my fishing.
It feels good to have the opportunity to be a hero.
