The Iraq war was a disgrace, but sometimes we forget just how much
Well the US as a whole has always been pretty bad at geography, and maybe they just figured they were already in the neighborhood with Afghanistan, so they might as well get rid of Iraq.

Shadowrun Returns
Reloaded a new build and it seems to be working well. Fixed a few bugs, although there are still some smaller issues I need to tweak. It's also apparently a bit hard

Russia passes more homophobia laws
You probably would have been better off just targeting Stephen Fry than using words like entitlement and the gay agenda.

What you did today
So a lot of our local mosques have open houses around Eid, where they offer up delicious foods. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite holidays.

Russia passes more homophobia laws
I don't necessarily agree with the war in Iraq, but let's put a little of the blame on Saddam Hussein as well. It's really not related to this discussion though. It's not a competition over who has the more righteous cause. You are basically dismissing vocal gay rights activists because they are too vocal? That's kind of the point of activism.

Russia passes more homophobia laws
I say it is more important to use this time to raise awareness of the terrible discriminatory policies than to try and cancel or move the Olympics. Also, what Wals said. Being gay is not a choice and it isn't about being entitled. If my child was gay I would want them to have the same rights as everyone else in this world, and that is simply not true in many places.

Shadowrun Returns
Hrm, now people are getting black screens when they try it. I know Tale got it to run last night, anyone else having issues?

Shadowrun Returns
I have finished my adventure, Spectrum Street Episode 1. I've been running over it quite a bit trying to balance and make it decent for multiple classes, but I can really use some feedback on balance and how it looks from other people's perspective. So I'm putting it up on Steam and it is available to all my friends.

Kerry's Israeli/Palestinian peace talks
How is the situation dangerous as opposed to all other talks that have been attempted? Would you prefer the Obama administration did nothing? But we have to complain about every action the current administration takes! That's how politics work!

What you did today
I saw a guy wearing an Obsidian sweatshirt in SF today. I yelled at him, but he moved away in the opposite direction quickly.

What you did today
We took the RV up to Marin, and today we are taking a ferry into San Francisco and going to the exploratorium. Sumner vacation is almost over, so we wanted to get away for a couple days.

Wasteland 2 Kickstarter
Generally I prefer a game that allows me to avoid killing anyone. It's refreshingly different from most everything else.

Movies You've Seen Recently
Saw The Wolverine - It was much better than the first film. I enjoyed it, Hugh Jackman has always been a great fit for the role, but he was really able to shine as the noble savage here. There were bothersome story bits, but I tried to just focus on the growling and action bits and that made it work well.

Shadowrun Returns
So I'm finished with the content in my mission and I'm starting to balance it. So far I've got it well balanced for an adept or a fighter type, but mages get their butts kicked and riggers dominate. I need to fool around with the drones more to figure out what is a good balance. Deckers don't really have a place in the mission, but I might adjust that. Maybe throw in a turret control to make it worth playing one. I also need to put in music, tinker with the lighting, and I am thinking about messing with the loading screens. Other than that it is playable from start to finish. Here is my synopsis: I'm wrestling between the titles: "In Full Bloom" "Spectrum Street"

Play Ball! the 2013 Baseball Thread
It was nice watching the Giants play competitive baseball at least.

Shadowrun Returns
Just like the lack of saving anywhere, it is pretty clearly a question of developer's limitations rather that a deliberate attempt to piss off customers. They really don't have anything to gain by making people re-download the whole game.

Shadowrun Returns
Speaking of Steam, this is the first game that has really had me using the Steam Workshop. I gotta say, as long as you stay away from the actual forum area, it is pretty sleek and easy for managing content.

What you did today
After hockey last night, we went upstairs to the Rink bar, and they had a bunch of new beers on tap. So of course we had to try them all.

Shadowrun Returns
Well I've already spent half a Gandalf on the thing, so I should just be a Balrog away from having a playable alpha.
