Honestly can't tell if you're trolling. So... well done?

I'm an old guy. In my youth I encountered the term "hardcore", and it was used to describe unusually dedicated Army Rangers and Marines along with most anybody who was Special Forces, SEALs, Air Force Search & Rescue, and select other crazies like Smokejumpers. It has always struck me as lame and utterly lacking in perspective to use it to describe a ruleset for a video game. The curse of a living language I guess, wannabes and marketers and politicians will corrupt anything and everything and the mob goes along thoughtlessly.

That is literally the same meaning of the word. How are you not understanding this?

(People who prefer an easier-than-normal path) Casual <----- Normal ----> Hardcore (preferring a harder-than-normal path).

Is all the military circle-jerking draining the blood from your head?
