Malcador

Found my notes on an old Civ 4 save (that I made for some reason...) where I managed to depopulate the Middle East and Northern Egypt with constant warfare - cities' shrunk from 23 pop to 1 with constant changing of hands, drafting, etc. - so tempted to pick that back up as d3 is causing me wrist pain.

Ahhh yeah Robert Tilton. Proof that dogs are wise, an old dog of ours used to attack the TV everytime he showed. Still for TV preachers, can't top

These people are the same that believe their preacher when he says God told him he needs a private jet.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/34010/Alpha_Protocol/ AP off Steam. Wonder if it may be due to the soundtrack - https://www.ost.co/494-alpha-protocol.html - interestingly, I don't recall most of the songs being in the game, like Xzibit's or UNKLE's. https://www.gamewatcher.com/news/sega-removes-obsidian-s-spy-rpg-alpha-protocol-from-sale

I like the editing style where every sentence gets a cut, a shade better than the style where they somehow expound on one point for 12 minutes. At least Youtube is recommending me less "angry geek rages against $anything" videos these days.

The only way to destroy the system....is from within.

You sold out, man!

That is a good point. Leaning towards them as a couple friends rave about them, even if they seem overkill for my house - maybe 10 devices. But pricewise, is about the same for the router+AP as an ASUS, so may be worth it. Funnily enough problem is shelf space for the AP and router.

Looking for one myself, have heard good things about Ubiquiti routers - anyone here use them ?

The original was pretty lousy I found. For true garbage, watch Death Wish 3, Bronson was just phoning it in there.

Good marketing. At least they said they'd ignored Google's mucking about with ad blocking in Chromium, although I wonder how far they can resist that.

And the soundtrack sucks as well.

Trying to finish Battletech's campaign but finding it tedious to do so. Forgot how awesome the missions design fighting twice your number with endless LRM spam was.

It's above the normal media nonsense. Trying to listen to normal news and they're interviewing wanker fans from the suburbs for 20 minutes! Well, at least one of them got shot last night.

Great, ****ing Canadians won something. Have to tolerate a whole lot of nonsense in the media here.

"Former Marine" is the right term I think. US Marines really are a cult, aren't they 😛

I've seen better.

D3 teaches one a lot of about life.

Can sell it as DLC !

Been walking home from work, is only 2 miles so takes about 38 minutes or so but more importantly I save $3.10 on transit fare! Still freaking people out when I walk behind them though, I suspect it is because I am breathing noisily
