Or even Space Empires' somewhat lazy handling where you just budget points and then assign it to do random things to another empire.

Did they ever add espionage ?

Well they do so with the US government so that ship has long past sailed. Pretty tame offense on Blizzard's part. So what do people want Blizzard to do now or just want to wreck the firm?

Well, keep seeing it framed as helping the people of Hong Kong somehow. Certainly is a funny situation for Blizzard here, let the dude say his piece with no repercussions and just take a hit from China and nothing different happens to HK, or punish him and take a PR hit and also nothing different happens to HK.

US Congress members chiming in as well https://www.polygon.com/2019/10/18/20921313/blizzard-hong-kong-hearthstone-us-congress-letter Not sure if Blizzard has much practical impact on what happens with Hong Kong, though.

Possible, but just sort of expected her to not set the race on the fire or anything with the field as packed as it is and with Warren and Sanders present. Eh, Mattis' wasn't too bad and he's just giving what he's getting. Heh, still wish I could have read his mind during that first cabinet meeting where the other members other than Tillerson were sucking up to Trump.

What an age, political figures having slap fights on Twitter. Decent enough response, although I'm not sure there's a campaign to eliminate Gabbard with how she's polling and all.

Seems that way. Trump gave a rather funny press briefing today, apparently the US has control of Middle East oil, the Kurds are very happy with the deal.

Well, not sure they are, seems like Clinton should just shut up and enjoy retirement.

It is hard to think on what an overcorrection of Trump would be. Maybe someone that tries to be super inoffensive or something ?

Well the revolution will be on our cell phones. Or something.

Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed Not a bad read, is a bit too rah rah on how awesome Lockheed was - author claims their candidate for the B-2 was superior and only lost due to politics, which I am skeptical of.

I am just going to guess they decided to drive it down an alley surrounded by low-rise buildings.

Well, garbage will always be with us. Found Jumpjet there, ah, I remember spending so much time playing what was, well is, a stupid game - I spend my time blowing up B-52s and then have to battle a bouncing skull of death ?

Some good ones in here :

Well that was weird, checked GOG about 30 mins ago and saw it as $56.99 USD, now I see it as $39.99. Guess it's not that expensive.

Life in Initech gets better as we are to be slaves to biweekly planning sessions.

All we ever do in this forum is the same stuff over and over.
