• Ultima IV: Quest for the Avatar - yes I’m older then dirt but I played my first real video game on an Apple IIe and it was a revelation real puzzles and my first choices with consequences
• Tetris - ok so a great game doesn’t need a story or puzzles or anything but good game play
• Gauntlet: Red Elf needs food badly. My first exposure to cooperative gameplay.
• Pokemon:RBY - I love the mechanics and they were the best turn based combat.
• Halo - Great storyline’s really do help but the gameplay was a real game changer for me I enjoyed how if you wanted to you could get through a level in several different ways.
• The Last of Us - Literary Characters that I came emotionally attached to. There’s a reason the first season of the TV series was so good it was because the writing of the game was just so good. I still remember the finale in the operating room when I (Joel really but I was so invested) found Ellie I was angry I was mad and I shot the nurses because I was so mad. I’ve, to this day, never felt so inside a character in any media as I felt then.
• Spiritfarer - My first cozy game and the only game I’ve ever played that made me stop and think about what just happened. I don’t ever want to spoil the game for anyone so all I’ll say is it’s less then the cost of a Happy Meal on steam and worth more for your soul then you can put a price on.

The quote “Right now, there are 13-year-old kids about to invade Kamchatka in their first-ever game of Risk that look like Carl von Clausewitz compared to Trump.” just about covers the level of strategic planning but I don’t understand how tactical planning is also so poor. I’m guessing Pete’s purges have shredded the upper ranks of everyone who’s not a sycophant.

You do realise that the government collects your ID when they’re made? And then you need to show that ID to buy a pack of smokes right?

Little things. I stopped chasing the big moments to get some kind of great peaceful feeling. Today my dog woke herself up by farting and it made me happy.

Not really almost everyone has reciprocal tax agreements. You have to file but you deduct all the taxes you’ve paid the local country.

Fuck Man, not just in documentation, in my whole life. I hope it’s because I’ve become better but I know there’s stuff in my past I’m fucking embarrassed about. And I know there are people I’ve hurt. But today I’m trying to be better.

So write some fucking documentation motherfucker be better this time.

Context?

Typical Boomer Doomerism. It’s all hopeless and we should all give up and die eh?

Oh hey now don’t go being reasonable. Didn’t you get the memo? We’re all just supposed to throw up our hands and say nothing is going to happen and then just sit here being angry but not active. /s

In some states in the US yes.

“Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.…” - Sen. Tim Scott

Really Tim, more racist then “Fine People on both sides”, more racist then “They’re eating dogs”? Say something is the most racist thing out of the White House is saying a lot.

And honestly Trumps the most racist president since Woodrow Wilson.

And as you get older it just gets slower and sadder.

Yeah but I think Bruce has figured that out In this one there isn’t any hook except a bit of ICE OUT

Not a chance in hell. If you listen to the song he’s channeling a lot of Woodie Guthrie energy and dragging Trump and Miller. I hope he goes on the late night shows to support this song because you know if does he’s gonna have Woodie’s graffiti on his guitar [This Machine Kills Fascists]

The song is fire too Stop what you’re doing and take a listen I got chills at the end with the fade out to chants of ICE OUT.

Here’s the thing, I just don’t trust anything that comes from the FBI and honestly I doubt that most Americans do either. DJT has blown up the FBI’s trust and it’s impossible to not think that Keystone wouldn’t say anything to get his boss out of trouble.

Fuck this picture hurts R.I.P. Grant

But it’s nice to see most of the gang like that.

I know comparing corporations to psychopaths is kind of unfair to psychopaths. Most psychopaths can see themselves farther into the future then the end of the quarter.

Interestingly, The Tragedy of the Commons really does work with psychopaths, so once you move from a person to person level to corporations interacting the Tragedy of the Commons problem becomes a serious issue. Take a minimum wage, it necessary for the population as a whole to have surplus wealth to spend to keep an economy going. Individual companies, on the other hand, have an incentive to pay their own employees a pittance. If every company does that then there’s no surplus wealth for people to purchase most goods and slowly the economy grinds to a halt. Hence it’s in society’s best interest to have a healthy and large minimum wage (or better yet a UBI system) which will have to be enforced on companies by an outside force.
