It sounds like you have personal hang ups about diversity and equality and you are transposing them onto a fantasy universe. My recommendation is to create your own fantasy universe that fits your own world view more accurately.

Some of the positive reviews basically said 'Cleve for President' so I see both being a bit silly. Still, surprised how many are taking this seriously and willing to shell out $40.

I pre-ordered the Splatoon 2 Switch bu dle for my son. There are a few titles I am probably more interested in than he is.

I think you are taking it too seriously (as are too many people on Steam.) It's just some pet project by some weird guy. It fits right in with all the RPGMaker trash that sits on Steam. Of course there are bugs! It's like paying for fanfiction and expecting it to be well-written.

I'm guessing not many people here are going to drop $40 on it. But one can hope.

That really isn't how the system works, or at least is not supposed to work. The government is not supposed to have the power to make things legal or illegal on a whim. You have ballot measures and representatives of the people that are supposed to make those decisions. Now you can argue that there are too many interefering factors at play (lobbyists, courts, etc.) But pot is hardly becoming legal on a whim. It has been a slow climb through local and state legislation to get anywhere near being legal, and it still has to overcome federal hurdles. It is an interesting change to watch, probably the most fascinating shift since prohibition.

Thankfully alcohol laws across the country have actually relaxed tremendously over the last couple decades, making it much easier for both hobbyists and microdistributors to be successful. Plus pot is slowly becoming legal. It all comes down to either public pressure or powerful lobbyists. That soda tax stuff is all public pressure, while the whiskey laws are kept in place by the companies that have the market cornered.

Ok, somehow warmed up to Lord of the Rings Online a bit and I'm working my Captain towards Mordor. I'm level 82 and about halfway done with Rohan, so I've got a ways to go. Still, it is nice to be back in Middle Earth.

I don't see rail happening. Too mich public cost. Tech companies are already investing heavily in self driving cars.

I'm ready for automation. Traditional cars will go the way of the horse and carriage.

LA that bad? Freedom is here I don't live in LA, it is much worse down there. Isn't Houston atrocious as well?

I'd imagine House Tyrell was also still in quite a bit of disarray after losing so many people in the Sept bombing.

I like the assumption that environmentalists are better at lobbying politicians than big oil and the auto industries. Good times. I would be more sympathetic to the death of cars if I didn't sit in traffic for an hour or two every day.

Prager University is funded by some guys that made a fortune fracking, so they might have some bias.

Which one is more important, a rope or a crowbar?

Hah, said 1 hour to unlock awhile ago, now it says coming soon. This is probably the most interesting game development since BattleCruiser 3000AD.

That is a pretty fantastic pitch.

Well the last one is just some random tweet.

Pick up some Rad-X while you are at it. Or is that another vault?

So you show up unprepared to explore and it's the developer's fault?

It's ok everyone, the President was just joking about that police brutality stuff.

I'd agree if 'tomorrow' means 'not in our lifetimes'. As is, we would need luck to even see asteroid mining happen. I'm not willing to take that bet, given the fact I had to dial home with a rotary phone as a kid and now my phone can basically access all of human knowledge. If it becomes a priority it will move very quickly.

Story of the season, pretty much.

It was pretty expensive to start, mostly because I'm too obsessive to just use the basic kit and had to get a bunch of other doodads.

Today I brewed my first batch of beer. It was fun, but now the nerve-wracking wait to see if it will ferment and taste good is upon me.
