I can't even get a UAV anymore. I go negative nearly every game, every game is super sweaty and I die instantly. Even when I noobtube I do terrible.

Has anyone tested Matrix on 360? It's not officially supported i know, but i've heard that it might work if you use a wired controller.

Now I get way easier killstreaks like Stealth Bombers and Gunships, all I have to do is just spam it at a big group of enemies and the kill feed is crazy. In Ground War I used it to easily get all my streaks, it's really good for a secondary launcher. This feels like a mid tier streak you'd have to earn kind of, reminds me of the War Machine but not quite as powerful. I can only wonder how good the sticky grenade version is.

I've been trying to find ways in Ground War to get easy kills with the JOKR. I haven't found enough ways though, I had one really good game early on and that was it. They do barely any damage against vehicles, they do next to none against helis too.

My question is it even possible for someone to get a JOKR MGB. I am not aiming for an MGB for the record, I just need to know how to get more kills with the JOKR. If this was Shipment it'd be easy, but I can't find anyone to blow up in Ground War. Occasionally I will find one guy on a rooftop for a free kill but not much else.

Simply, they were in K-12 before the 2023 AI boom and I think having any memories of life before AI became commonplace, before AI deepfakes became more scarily real, gives 2016-2017 one genuine claim to be cusp. I could see 2017 being the final Z year with a 2000/2001-2017 Gen Z range.

People want to make Z so short, like max 15 years, and I dislike this a lot. Early 2010s borns to me are just as Z as late 90s borns. I could definitely include 2013 and 2014 in Gen Z because they can have some memory of life pre-COVID, and 2013-2015 will likely have vivid memory of pre-AI generated media life.

I think 2018 onwards are the true Gen Alpha I think of, who I think are totally fucked. Little to no memory of life before AI videos and images took over, no memory of life pre-COVID, outside of 2018 they won't be able to vote in 2036.

To me, 1995-2014 is the broad Gen Z range, but I could see a case for even 2015-2017 squeezing by. It'd be like putting 2000 in Millennial. Not something I really stand by but understandable to a historical extent.

Boomers: 1946-1964

Gen Jones: 1958-1964

Gen X: 1961-1981

Xennial: 1977-1983

Millennials: 1980-2000

Zillennial: 1992-2001 (I will never consider myself Zillennial)

Gen Z: 1995-2014

Zalpha: 2008-2017 (2017 would be the last Zalpha with a 2014 end date)

Gen Alpha: 2011-?

I keep seeing people try to group 2002+ in with Zillennials born in the 90s but say they have nothing in common with early 2010s borns, and it makes literally 0 sense. Even if you had older siblings, you'd relate to early 2000s borns at the earliest.

Mid-late 00s borns at best are similar to neither (born 2002-2004) and at worst are far more similar to 2010s borns (2005-2009). Obviously 1999 vs 2002 vs 2010 would be a huge difference with 2002 and 2010.

But when I see TikToks showing "only 1995-2007 kids remember" or "born 1997-2009? Watch this for nostalgia" it boggles me mind. No one born in 1997 will have anything in common with a 2009 born. That's Zillennial vs second wave Z. 2009's core group would be 2007-2011, not 1997-2009.

I've seen 2000-2007 on YouTube, and that is also ridiculous. Someone born in 2007 was a preschooler watching Barney and Dora in 2010-2012 when Gumball, Regular Show and Adventure Time (the big 3) first came out. Since most kids start watching cartoons at age 5 or 6, they would've caught those shows sometime around 2013; those born in 2000 were already teenagers out of the 6-11 demographic for cartoons. 2000-2001 borns and 2006-2007 borns are a different breed, two years that are debatably Zillennial (early Z, but still possible cusp), vs two years that

2004-2007 or 2003-2006 is a better range, not 2002-2008 or 2001-2007 or anything 6+ years. That's too big of a difference. Being 6 in 2010 is completely different from being 6 in 2004 or 2005. 6 in 2007, not quite as much, but still many things changed. Maybe I could see you having a similar childhood if you had older siblings. But only if they are no older than 3-4 years from you. 5+ means they grew up in a different era.

Being born in 1999 vs 2001/2002 isn't a big difference, but neither is someone being born in 2009 vs 2011 or even 2012. And someone born in 2005 has way more in common with an early 2010s born than anyone born in the 90s.

If you were to ask me about if mid-2000s borns (2003-2006, especially 2004-2005) would be more similar to, i'd likely that the 90s borns are way more different than the 2010s borns. Both someone born in 2005/2006 and 2010/2011 would've been born into Web 2.0, experienced and lived through COVID-19, were still kids when Trump got elected (but were in K-12 before), and will graduate - or have graduated for the former group - in the 2020s. They are teens of the 2020s and kids of the 2010s. 2003 shares slightly more similarities to very (and I mean *very*) late 90s borns, and 2004 relates to neither (i'd say 2000 at earliest for 04', and that's a stretch).

Personally I don't even relate to 90s borns either and I was born in November 2002. I'd say my core group would be born May 2000 to May 2005 (2 1/2 years apart from me). What 2004 or 2005 born will be similar to a 90s born, or a 2010s born?

Stop trying to group yourself in with 90s borns when you're born in 2005. Your TikTok with the 1995-2007 range is bullshit.

The whole idea is that the end date to a generation and start of the next one overlaps with one another. For example, Gen Z being 1997-2017 does not actually mean a 9 year old and 29 year old are in the same generation, but rather that someone born in 1997 and 2017 could both reasonably identify as Gen Z, if they so wish. 2017 seems wrong to include as no source considers them Z, but I will explain this below.

Gen Jones: Last official Boomers, born 1961-1964.

These years could go either way.

Gen X: 1961-1981

Xennial: 1978-1981

1980 and 1981 can go either way.

Millennial: 1980-2000

Zillennial: Millennial equivalent of Generation Jones, born from 1994-2000. Largely children of the 2000s with some childhood underlap/overlap in the 90s/2010s, depending on age.

1997-2000 is an interesting case, as it can count for both Millennial and Gen Z.

Gen Z: born 1997-2017

If you were born in 2017, you would be the last person to be in K-12 education before the rise of AI in 2023, and before ChatGPT was released in late 2022. All of this is to say 2017 is actually not a bad Gen Z end date, as ludicrous as it may initially seem.

Zalpha: The final years of Generation Z, equivalent to Gen Jones. Born 2012-2017. In K-5 education during the AI boom starting early 2023. 2015-2017 can go either way.

Generation Alpha: 2015-present

We can't place the end of Alpha, and anyone who says we can predict when Gen Alpha ends and the generation beyond Alpha begins is wrong.

TL;DR - Cassie was born May 16, 1991 (Core Millennial), Ord on September 9, 1985 (Early Millennial), Zak and Wheezie were born July 21, 1985 (also Early Millennial). Cassie would be 35 today, and Ord/Zak and Wheezie would be 41 today.

As someone interested in American generations, it is fun to try and figure out when cartoons are set and what ages they'd be today. This information about the dragon's birthdays was actually revealed in an obscure 2005 Dragon Tales calendar. Ord's birthday is September 9, Zak and Wheezie has their birthday on July 21, and Cassie's lands on May 16.

Now, the ages of the dragons are never mentioned outright. However, we do know that Emmy and Enrique are 6, and Max is 4.

I'm not sure how dragons in this world age, but the heights of the characters give some clue as to how old they are.

The difference between Max and Enrique's height is about the difference of Emmy and Cassie's. We know there's a 2 year gap between Max and Enrique/Emmy, so it's likely Cassie is about 8 (at least, if dragons age like humans, which i've felt is true enough at this point).

I assume Dragon Tales is set in 1999, the year the show came out. I do tend to assume this for most shows that were first aired in their debut year. Of course, Dragon Land is a different realm, but there are two clues that seem to point to it being 1999, just in an alternate universe:

In the music video for the S3 song Hola, Zak and Wheezie can be seen briefly riding a motorcycle. Obviously, motorcycles didn't exist in, let's say the 1700s; it's possible it takes place in that period but with very outlandish anachronistic ​technology.

In the 2004 PC educational game Learn and Fly with Dragons in the cave with the three young dragon learners, there's a radio that when clicked on, plays the Dragon Tales theme song. Cassie remarks that "I like that song!" To me this makes it much more likely that the show takes place starting in 1999, just in a different alternate 1999.

If we assume this is true - whether it's set in 1999 or an earlier year is entirely debatable, as is Cassie being 8 - this would mean that Cassie was born May 16, 1991. She would be 35 in 2026.

It's harder to guess Ord's age. He's clearly the biggest of the MCs (and older than Cassie), but highly unlikely to be an adult. He seems like he is around 14 years old, however. He's about twice the height of Cassie - imagining two Cassie's stacked on top of each other. He's older than Cassie obviously, but apparently younger than Zak and Wheezie. I'd say Ord is 14 or so. That seems to be about where I would place him. Ord's Unhappy Birthday takes place September 9, 1999* and it actually almost aired that same day - September 8, 1999 was the airdate in real life. So that would place Ord as being born September 9, 1985 (14 in 1999).

So, that leaves Zak and Wheezie, who are the oldest dragons in the group and also hard to pinpoint. Wheezie is apparently older than Zak by mere seconds (she hatched out right before he did). However they only seem to be barely older, possibly only by a few months. Since Ord's birthday is after Zak's by just a short time, it'd mean Zak and Wheezie were likely born July 21, 1985. The show bible confirms that Zak and Wheezie are older than Ord, presumably not by very much though since he's the biggest of the dragons.

My god is this thing so good, I am not a good sniper in most Battlefield games especially in 4/5 where there's no sweetspot. In 6 i'm okay but I think in 1 the Liu is so OP that a disabled dog in a wheelchair could use it effectively. For close range just switch to the semi auto mode, and for the 80-120 sweetspot range just use the bolt action mode. Even at medium range without the sweetspot I can still get followup shots in because the firerate is really good (it might be on par with the Ross).
