Don’t worry: JFK, Jr. will be pulling into New York harbor any day now on the newly raised Titanic, to proclaim the reign of god-king Trump, and the woke crowd is going to be screwed.

slingstone,

I have contacted the Finance Department FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

slingstone,

This invoice must be paid FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

slingstone,

I, also, am hip and with it. Witness my funky fresh lingo and in-your-face attitude, home skillet.

Alpha Centauri with the Alien Crossfire dlc

Best 4x ever.

slingstone,

That would be phenomenal, but I imagine it’s unlikely.

However, if we’re in the realm of unlikely scenarios, maybe they can give me a follow-up to Xcom: Enemy Within that proceeds from an Xcom victory in the first game. I never got into Xcom 2 because it ignored the buildup to the greater enemy foreshadowed at the end of Enemy Within. Not knocking those who liked what we got…it just didn’t work for me.

slingstone,

Nah, dude. Just wait until the deceased field gets oversaturated. All the hordes of people wandering pointlessly, everybody trampling over everyone else trying to eat the organs of the living…it’s a dead end job that’ll get worse with time.

slingstone,

I mean, a rocket will get you past the sky, so…

Being homeless is effectively a crime in many jurisdictions, so…

Original Fallout lead Tim Cain loves the new show, but remains baffled by how 'destructive' fans can act toward 'people who are trying to create things' (www.pcgamer.com)

Cain appreciated the performances and storytelling, but singled out how the show nailed the Fallout “vibe” as its biggest achievement. “I was just looking at all the props,” he said of one scene. “I realized after a few minutes went by that I had not followed the dialogue at all, because I was so engrossed by it...

slingstone,

I haven’t watched the show, but reading your comment about the shopkeepers, the “problem” appears to be that they MAY be lesbians and they exist. That existence and possibility might be a trigger is sad to me. The hateful folks say it’s about homosexuality being shoved in their face, but, really, it’s a total rejection at the heart of their beliefs. It’s why when activists talk about the dangers of this bigotry, we ought to listen, because the existence or mere possibility of gay people being a problem for some people is only a short step away from the solution for those people being elimination.

slingstone,

I wish I had seen your comment earlier. You said it better than I did just now.

slingstone,

But only after you navigated an age of psychedelia on an airplane.

Star Control I and II

Medieval II Total War (except that diplomacy was a joke)

Civ III was great, but Alpha Centauri may have been the best 4x game ever.

slingstone,

Loved this game.

Fun fact, the two lead characters showed up again as soldiers in Valkyria Chronicles.

slingstone,

Are there any good resources that give an overview of some of this stuff? I must confess my ignorance, but your words are stirring and I want to know more.

slingstone,

I guess what I want is a suggestion for a good history of the labor movement.

slingstone,

Did you ever think you might be the plucky comic relief?

slingstone,

This game rocks. I love the fact that I’ve got a home brew version on my Wii of all things. Getting it back on the PC, though…I used to be able to do crazy crap with the Arilou Skiff using the keyboard controls. Never felt the the same with a controller or a touch screen.

slingstone,

Why couldn’t we switch back to glass as our primary container material? Wasn’t that always fully recyclable?

slingstone,

Huzzah! Felicitations to you and your canine companion upon this most auspicious day!

slingstone,

They’re in the studio working on the soundtrack, of course.

slingstone,

I was searching the thread to see if everyone called them that or if it was regional.

slingstone,

Does anybody remember the way the floors had a springiness to them and how they squeaked and creaked as you walked across them?

How about the mental kind of threshold-looking strip in the middle of the floor from wall to wall where I believe they had connected two halves together, if I recall?

slingstone,

Fellow Christian here: thanks for this verse. It’ll be helpful with dealing with the conservatives around me.

slingstone,

Anyone remember light pickups? I had one of the last Nissan hardbody trucks, and I loved that darned thing. I abused the heck out of it and it lasted forever. There’s nothing really like it now. Supposedly the rebooted Toyota Stout will be in this range, but I suspect it won’t really be the same kind of truck.

slingstone,

I’m sorry I ever let mine go. It was a great emulation platform, and I ran all kinds of retro games on it. I also miss Skies of Arcadia, which I’ve always felt was underrated.
