Pictures of your games
It's fun trying out the different races. Meklars aren't too shabby. So far, I've found Silicoids and Elerians to be the most difficult to play well with. The 'Creative' trait (and by extension Psilons) is just way overpowered, making up for any shortcomings, as long as you survive the very beginning of the game.

What you did today
Not much. Just trying to keep my sanity intact until annual leave shows up and knocks on my door... Can't really motivate myself to play video games at the moment, so it's time to swing ye olde paint brush again and pick up on some of the slack (my mountain of unpainted warhammer miniatures).

Fine Art
I'm sure the education levels would have been much higher under the Taliban regime. Being fascinated with natural science, philosophy, fine art and foreign cultures like they are. They appreciation of the Bamyian statues, their promoting of literacy of the female half of the population and cracking down on child abuse and pedophilia is almost on par with their disdain of misogyny.

Am I right? Do western AAA developers think...
Whatever happened to the fine art of making fire with two rocks. No appreciation of traditional fire making art these days of matches and lighters Actually, I've found combat to be a chore in most crpgs, starting with the "gold box" games. I'll give rogue likes a free pass, because of nostalgia (being aware that it is nostalgia). There are a few and notable exceptions, but if crpgs are a rare breed, those with good and fun combat are as common as the 21st century dodo. IWD was the last. Generally games built around tactical squad combat with rpg elements seems to fare better when it comes to quality of combat (JA2 and the original X-Com games spring to mind).

What are you playing now?
I see what you did there entrerix, what a cruel thing to do. Now he'll keep trying to kill the infinitely spawning enemies because he thinks it's possible to kill them all

The Great Game Giveaway!
Nice games I got most of those that I want already (so not "applying" for any), but Victoria 2 and The Magica collection are awesome games. Not familiar with the Majesty games.

Anti-Dragon Age 2?
I might have to check out that no-peragus thing. Does it work with TSLRCM?

Replace capitalism with any system and that statement woudl stil be true. So many systems sound good on paper. Do you have a viable alternative economic system? The Boer war... capitalism in action, how dare those peasants be in the way of our free market Edit: Charles Dickens England was probably the epitome of capitalism. Since then, it has taken a downturn with a number of countries trying to curb it and protect people from it.

Piracy
Rarely have I heard gibberish said with such certainty. What exactly are you trying to say? Are you saying that anything financed through kickstarter should be public domain and nobody could build any franchises based on the work they create? Copyright isn't an "intrusive government interference" (this is where I know you are making stuff up as you go along). It's a mechanism that attempts to protect people from being ripped off and protect their work. You do the work, you decide what happens with the result of that work. Not too complicated a concept.

Meanwhile, down under 32+ and blue skies over the weekend. Better check the air-conditioning (rubbing it in) Edit: That's approx. 90F for our North American friends.

STEAM!
An awesome deal... Except, I've already bought the ones I would want from the bundle. Darn. Bought Endless Space (emperors edition) at 50% off. Still looking for something to strike that right balance that Moo2 had.
