Searching for my people, I guess.

My partner hates it when I say that Die Hard is my favourite X-mas movie. Or, that I only want socks, underwear, and egg nog. She’s lactose intolerant. Maybe I’m just X-mas intolerant.

Anyway, have at ye scallywags! Vent your frustrations! Build me an anti-X-mas list! I’m already celebrating New Year’s over here.

    In Age of Empires community I was wondering what the xbows were but it was a shorthand for crossbows.

      You just helped a mildly infuriating puzzle piece finally slide into place for me. For years, I’ve internalized xbow as shorthand for crossbow, but couldn’t for the life of me remember where I’d have picked that up. I played a lot of AoE2 back in the day, though, so that seems the likely origin.
