No. Micro-Machines were amazing. Get out.

I totally got one of these things for Christmas as a kid. It was cool as hell, but folding it back up was a bit tricky.

It seems more difficult whenever a player gets knocked out whenever it’s a clean play like this appeared to be, compared to a clearly dirty hit. There isn’t a villain that you can heap blame onto, or an easy narrative to rely on.

This is the society we keep opting for. The society we keep promoting through our choice of elected officials.

He was terrible on human rights, but not more terrible than Bautista and it probably took someone like Castro to over throw him. (Dear American Fuckwits— this is what choosing the lesser of two evils looks like.)

There are for sale in Canada for $129 CAD at BestBuy in Canada, which when converted is $95 US, so a much better deal! Just need to make friends with a Canadian!

Bullshit.

I’ve always hated the “Make America Great Again” slogan.

Yeah, but how long were those games? I think I’ve played two or three games of Civ V, and Steam puts my time played at 24 hours. That’s not bad for 60 bucks.

I really enjoyed playing Civ and Total War games with my friends. We use to do like 50 to 100 turns per night. Check out Civ 5 when it’s on sale, because it’s dirt cheap and still a very good strategy game.

It’s hard for me to judge, since I’ve been playing Civ games for a long time, but I think Civ V would be a better intro. They carried over a lot of concepts from that game, whereas Civ V was sort of starting over because of the changes they made. If you wanted to try one out, I’d suggest getting the complete version…

Civilization is basically the grade school introduction to strategy games. If you need the preschool version, pick up the mobile or handheld versions. Which is what got me into the series, actually.

I’ve come to realize in the past week how limited my understanding of how to properly use districts is. This article just reinforces that. For a while, I wasn’t even using the adjacency bonuses. But it’s a big complicated game that I’ll be playing for years, so I probably don’t need to understand everything yet.

I’ve had basically all of these issues on PC too, not to mention the lack of steam workshop support. I’m downgrading to the regular edition and installing some graphics mods.

So the guy perpetrates the violence and then blames the woman for not preventing it? (Checks all of human history.) YUP! CHECKS OUT!

I’ve never really watched any anime (other than, like, My Neighbor Totoro) but the stuff I like in JRPGs — the sense of adventure, the feeling of actively exploring new worlds, the strategic battle systems — is pretty specific to video games.

Consumer behavior doesn’t surprise me anymore when there is a money grab at stake. People are greedy as hell, entitled, and believe companies are at the root of all evil as well as have unlimited funds.

Great writeup. Best of all, you’ve pointed out there are several “bridges too far” that really lie beyond VW’s responsibility. Owning, operating, and maintaining a car costs money. For those expenditures, an owner expects to be able to drive themselves from Point A to Point B on an ongoing basis. The nastiness of…

Whenever I read a story like this, I'm always saddened by the pointlessness of war and the loss of human life. These stories demonstrate that we are capable of behaving humanely to each other, yet it only seems to happen briefly.
