Yesterday: Grrr!! For supposedly encyclopaedic references, neither of you have half the information I want!

Today: {Randomly browsing} Oh, hey, there's all that info I was looking for yesterday, and more. And even better, it's carefully copied scans of the primary source, not a secondary.

Pure serendipity. I'd gone on to reading an unrelated document that's been sitting as a browser tab for weeks, thought that it was very likely the site had more good stuff hidden away in its bowels (literally hidden away, I can't find a link from their homepage) and guessed what the index page would be. 2nd reference down, hello....

ETA: I've been playing a lot of XCOM2 over the weekend as they just released some free DLC

Last week: "4 missions and a bunch of maps for free. I'm in!"

This week: "Wait, that's 4 campaigns, each of 7 missions, all on new maps, plus a random campaign generator? Wow!"

Anyway, the new DLC means new Steam achievements, so I just went to check which ones I'd picked up. The new ones are a bit meh, but I hadn't noticed one of the originals before:

"Not Throwing Away My Shot

Kill an Alien Ruler while it Attempts to Escape"

Nice! (Though I actually didn't shoot it, it tried to run past someone with a very large sword)
