I guess the illegals don't want to be tracked by the system in the first place out of fear that they will get you later

Which games have aged well in your opinion?
How so? Did you tried it lately? New resolutions does not work that well with this game and terraforming is quite a nightmare without hotkeys There are hotkeys for almost all unit commands, definitely terraforming see page 152 in the manual - https://www.spacegamejunkie.com/docs/Alpha_Centauri_-_Manual_-_PC.pdf SMAC, Rebellion and Caesar 3 had some of the best game manuals I have ever read

Haven't heard anyone argue to just let people in the country or if they are even sneaking in all cases, but the US does have an asylum process that requires you to be physically be in the US, if I recall. So this situation must exist, they have to process these people and the DOJ has a long backlog either by volume or just design.

If they are seeking asylum, they're not criminals. Also are they detaining them in super maxes or something? Maybe Cruz was on to something with expediting the processing via immigration judges.

Well funnily enough the media did show it was part of a protest. Left hand not talking to the right. But I guess it boils down to tree vs forest https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/18/us/photo-migrant-child-cage-trnd/index.html

The wiki definition of "asylum seeker" seems pretty loosey goosey. Wouldn't 100% of illegal immigrants claim that status? Yep it is, but it's something they have to process through rather than start swinging the hammer. I guess it is also a case of not doing things just because you can, certainly is no harm to keep the families together and handle them as a unit in either asylym seekers or plain illegals. Or at least to me. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/Family-Separation-Border-Homeland-Security-486035941.html - could be BS, could be true and it'd be a cheap easy win for Trump

Well Morocco's out as well, kind of a shame. Saudi Arabia not getting crushed by Uruguay...thought not sure if it is down to them or Uruguay just being uninspiring.

I don't know how they could be. The same thing happens in our criminal justice system even for citizens. Both parents get jailed for a crime, with nobody else to take the kids(s)? Into the foster system with them. The asylum seekers is the issue, that's not a crime as far as I know. Apparently they are caught up in the zero tolerance mentality as well.

Crocodile tears would be the ones coming from the administration if any, seems the critics are genuinely upset. Also, is some debate if they are separating asylum seekers from their children, which if so, is confusing but never doubt people's ineptitude.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - VISUAL NOVELS ALLOWED
Seems like something people shouldn't be too surprised at. "tracking" "mostly harmless", those don't belong in the same sentence without a negation. Well, Vice was the only one I had found at the time, It's on PCG and others now. Interestingly some people are a-okay with it, some saying it's needed to make the games better.

Which games have aged well in your opinion?
Hard for an adventure game to age poorly, I guess the text parser ones may be more so than others but that's just the users being lazy even some 3D ones have aged ok for me. Actually, no, forgot games that can get into an unwinnable state, those have not aged well.

True, when I read unite I had pictured voluntarily joining the nation rather than the US deciding to become the Third Rome- World Cup 2018
Well Russia is getting it done, bit of a surprise to see Egypt buckle like this.- The Athenaeum - Reading updates and Literary Review from the Obsidian Elite (this means you)
Well true, but regardless of the outcome had always thought it was the case of evil corporate types robbing him of his baby rather than him more or less dying by the sword he wielded. Was funny to read EA being born as a dev focused company, too- The Athenaeum - Reading updates and Literary Review from the Obsidian Elite (this means you)
Reading Hackers, realizing Ken Williams was a bit of a ****, don't feel as badly for Sierra being taken from him. Also RMS is as extreme as I thought- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - VISUAL NOVELS ALLOWED
