Politics 2017 Part 3
Bill Mather was commenting on one of the teacher-student relationships which get a lot of attention. It's from 20 years ago, she was 30 something and he was 14. Yes, these things are always problematic for obvious reasons, but he doesn't really think it's more likely to be abusive than a regular regular relationship. The condemnation is because we can't allow for a situation where it isn't, it's our moral outrage which isn't necessarily supported by the facts of a specific situation. It isn't automatically abusive, but of course with one side being in such a decisive position of authority the potential is rather terrifying. So, there are still good reasons for punishing people who seek out these relationships. That said, I can't really imagine 14 year old me would have had any issues with banging my hot English teacher.

Maybe they are deliberately trying not to do bull shots or tart up gameplay.

That's my point, don't blame controller for developer's lack of skill. Why isn't controller remapping a thing. I get pissed whenever single keyboard keys are reserved and can't be remapped. Seems to me it would be the easiest thing in the world to include in the console's software and and a shared resource for all games. Also, why isn't mode switch a thing anymore. Essentially an alt key for your controller that gives you twice as many options. Say you want to use a skill, spell, whatever hold down a button and presto every button on your controller is now a skill button.

Politics 2017 Part 3
Projects happen whenever the government is forced to build large amounts of affordable housing. To no one's surprise they wind up being full of poor people who rent instead of own, thus not caring much about their surroundings. Crime inevitably follows. No particular race or culture is required but it just so happens that the people at the bottom with fewer resources, options and struggling with discrimination and such are often immigrants. They should just gift houses to people in need and don't put any of them in the same place. It will work out cheaper in the long run. Or maybe tell them to hold down a job for 5 years and the house is yours ?. Reward merit that way.

Summer interships?
I would be so screwed without my spellchecker, which is currently trying to correct my English in to Danish.

He had the same 'is this really happening' look as Shinzo Abe while they were doing the photo op.

so-called court of appeals ruling
Tell you what, I kinda agree with the Daily Show and whatshisface Seth Meyers. We already know what you are going to say, where is the joke in that. It's like they are secretly inviting you to be part of their knowitall club. It's like you said, they can't muster anymore outrage, they are spent. I miss Jon Stewart, he didn't even have to try.

so-called court of appeals ruling
Kinda like the anti Obama demonstrations that went on for quite a while. But yes, they are freaking out, only they are already at close to maximum freakedoutness so you can't really tell much difference. I think it's gonna last quite a bit longer than the Obama demonstrations and that Trumps war with the press is one that he is going to lose. They are succeeding in portraying him as incompetent, not a hard task to pull off anyway.

so-called court of appeals ruling
This much hurt in the butt cannot be contained to one thread. Every snark is new and original. Every utterance by Trump newsworthy! LOOK LOOK, someone misspoke! HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah it's pretty great. A day rarely goes by without him screwing up in some way. His media people are pretty entertaining too.

I want this to be good. I want it sooo much. I guess like what the Starwars fanboys wanted for the Force Awakens, except **** Starwars, comparatively speaking.

I wonder when single player games become subscription based. When you look at both apps and games they have tried almost everything else already, cramming them full of adds and malware, buying minutes like on a pre paid phone. It's already getting to the point where if you have an app that you know certain people cannot do without it will inevitably be subscription only so people will wind up paying for it forever.

You do know they say that everywhere. Like in East Timor some guy will be going to work on his lama reading reading about how the public school system does not prepare propperly for college level work.

Anyone notice how Trump makes a big deal out of signing those executive orders. He holds them up like he's showing something off at an auction describing them in detail while his underlings stand to attention behind him. It's just so bizarre.

CRPGs have made a comeback! How about RTSs?
Deserts of Karak doesn't count. It's on one plane. The whole point of Homeworld was that you could command and view/zoom in a fully 3d environment. Take that away and what you have left is every other RTS.

CRPGs have made a comeback! How about RTSs?
The Homeworld series, up there among the best games I have ever played, can't even get a kickstarter reboot. Best they could manage was a cosmetic makeover.

I don't think devs think there is any money in traditional RTS as opposed to MOBA and the whole e sports nonsense which is kinda what the genre developed into.
