  1. I am working on an Incan Chaski and a Cabeza de Vaca game. They will be finished sometime around 2030. Which version of RPG Maker are you using?
  2. I didn't get gap insurance. I find for used cars, they tend to be a waste of money. Although given how quickly the hybrid depreciated I probably need to rethink that. It does have 150k miles on it and has probably saved me a fair amount in gas over the last 4 years I owned it. I like the tenderloin idea regardless, then I'd get a decent value out of it at least. edit: I think the Tenderloin has been gentrified.
  3. I'm miserable about my car. I'm never buying a Hybrid again. My 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid is worth about $2,000 right now as a trade in. It has a laundry list of issues to fix that would cost more than it is worth. Over the last few months I've fixed a number of them but then new stuff keeps popping up and I'm over it. I owe $8,000 on it. The current issue is a bunch of sensors that affect emissions. My check engine light is on, and the shop (which took $100 just to diagnose) say it won't cause any problems other than not passing smog. Now I don't need to get a smog check for awhile, but I'm so over this stupid car I just want to get something else. Unfortunately being under water means I'm going to have to borrow way more than I want.
  4. He made it with his daughter. He still has pretty good podcasts, at least.
  5. I am loving the new Hitman. It definitely compares favorably to Blood Money. So many options! I just finished Episode 1. The training was really well done too.
  6. I trust corporations more than any government because the fear of liability is an excellent check on their behavior. One the government does not have. Well the voting process is supposed to be a check on government behavior. Of course, when everyone blindly votes for their team and the corporations buy the politicians, it makes a bit of a mess of things. Speaking of which, I drove to Vegas last week and they have finally finished the road that goes around Hinkley. Some of you may remember Hinkley as the town from the Erin Brockovich movie. Because of PG&E, it pretty much became a ghost town. Traffic still passed right through the middle of it until very recently, when they built a very beautiful highway to bypass it completely. I'm guessing PG&E paid for that new road. They even installed this beautiful stone sign for the freeway exit to Hinkley, in sharp contrast to the decrepit ruin the town is today.
  7. I just bought the Hitman Season 1, but now I'm trying to decide if I should play through Absolution first, which I own but never started.
  8. All of that is already happening. It would be a better argument if the government was actually succeeding in regulating drugs.
  9. I kind of think the market would not support the super bad drugs, because there would be so many forces against them. I mean, geez, just look at what happened when McDonalds served coffee too hot. What company is going to risk peddling that stuff? Just a hunch, I'm not exactly against regulation, since I trust major corporations as little as I do the government.
  10. And it also confirms that conspiracy theories are unproven and speculative.
  11. When I said ILLEGAL I was pulling directly from what WoD had said. See I actually agree with WoD quite a bit on this, in terms of executive orders being abused. But I see no difference between the way Trump is using them and the way Obama did. They are both terrible.
  12. Steam and Playstation Network are pretty entrenched, and it is hard to see them going away anytime soon, unless there is some dramatic change in the market. Nintendo is a bit of a wildcard, they haven't been afraid to shutter stuff and go off in entirely different directions.
  13. So are all the Trump executive orders illegal as well?
  14. The whole point of a conspiracy theory is that it is a rather unlikely scenario, usually involving many moving parts. But they are called theories for a reason, if there was clear evidence to support it then it would no longer be a theory.
  15. It's like a ray of sunshine when you come to visit us.
  16. It sure is. Of course, without the summer break, I'm pretty sure every teacher would burn out in the first 5 years, instead just half of them.
  17. If Clinton is far left, then what the heck would Bernie Sanders be?
  18. Drove back from Vegas yesterday. We had a great trip. We didn't win money or anything (barely gambled) but it was a pretty inexpensive outing and we got in some nice pool time and good meals. Now back to reality.
  19. Make sure you are adding in some good stretches to keep those legs healthy.
  20. Sure, but the angry right is just as bad.
  21. Well I do not mind stepping on toes. Party loyalty is dumb and a terrible way to operate as a voter.
  22. It is more the tease of the food going down, but then coming back up unexpectedly. It leaves you unfulfilled.
  23. I don't have any issues with strip clubs, but I think you should be realistic about what is going on there. It is basically the fast food version of human intimacy.
  24. My wife and I are leaving for Vegas on Monday, and it will top out at 116 degrees (47 Celsius.) That is a bit toasty.
