The world might be on fire, or it might not, let's play battleships anyways

This is your board, and I have just the same:

[ID: 10x10 grid. Numbers (on top) left to right 1-10. Letters (on left) top to bottom A-J]

And these are your ships, and I have just the same:

[ID: 1st ship: Aircraft Carrier—1pcs—size: 1x5

2nd ship: Battleship—1pcs—size: 1x4

3rd ship: Cruiser—1pcs—size: 1x3

4th ship: Submarine—2pcs—size:1x2

5th ship: Destroyer—2pcs—size1x1]

Rules:

• Your ships cannot overly

• Your ships have to be placed horizontally or vertically (no diagonally)

• If opponent sinks a ship, you have to tell which one it was

• If you hit something, it's your turn again

• If you want to stay anonymous, please identify yourself with a code name (it can be as simple as an emoji)

• Please don't cheate

Gameplay:

~ the first turn is yours, send a call out in the ask box

~ I will tell you whether or not you hit something and then I will call out (if you didn't) {all o' this in a posted answer}

~ It's your turn again, first tell me whether or not I hit something, then call out (if I didn't) {in an ask}

~ this goes on until one of us sinks all of the other one's ships

~If you are unfamiliar with the game itself here's a link to an in depth explenation

Good to know

+ I'm using a different board with every player

+ The gameplay or the rules might be modified if I get bored of them

+ Planning on drawing my own ships and board instead of the current ugly ones

On October 31st I read a book that took place during Halloween of 1996. I was born this year so I did a deep dive regarding this decade (music, clothes, movies, books …). Now I am hitting the repeat button for different 90s songs repeatedly - stupid earworms.

In the 80s and 90s, my parents smoked cigarettes in the house and the pets lived in the backyard. Now, the pets live in the house and my parents smoke in the backyard.

The Batman, we've entered a new era, one fit for old graying millennials who were scarred and at the same time enthralled by The Crow as a child, eho were introduced to detective noire after school by WB's brilliant Batman animated series, who listened to early industrial goth techno pop and scoffed while the adult world marveled at the new Internet and its unlimited possibilities, whose parents worked hard and provided well but were emotionally absent, who discovered the world of secret and not so secret conspiracies, one where whistleblowers were no longer heroes but enemies of the state. This is our Batman.

[Bruce] is fully committed to being Batman and he’s just not seen by the city at all. He has no desire to be Bruce in this and he wants to just throw it away. He thinks that this is the way he can save himself, by living in this kind of Zen state as Batman, where it’s just pure instinct and no emotional baggage. —Robert Pattinson
