It’s nice to see my old coworkers at Xaviant making the list with The Culling... though the game isn’t currently getting great reviews, after Lichdom, I really want them to succeed!
That tweet is a dagger straight into the heart of my feels.
Champion.
No.
And instead, we got a man who was literally constructed out of industrial grade milquetoast.
I never saw a soldier, during my time in the Army, or as a student, both times I went to college, hang a soviet flag on their wall. Nor did I ever see anyone speaking all that positively about the superior warrior culture of Soviet Russia (if anything, as I’ve explained, their contribution to the victories in WW2 have…
You’ve got it right, and I believe that most people share that same view when it comes to the Nazis... but the Nazis and Serial Killers, for all they have in common, are separated by a specific axiom: Serial Killers, by their nature, are not defined by their ideologies (although I’m sure many would like to be).

The Galaxy-class Starship Enterprise D is roughly 2/3 of a kilometer long (642 meters). So a 15km citadel is about 23 Enterprises lined up end to end.
I always had something of a crush on Patty. She was strong and opinionated, and best of all, she dressed for comfort over style... which was something I understood. I’ve always hated wearing suits or uniforms of any kind, for as long as I can remember, and her outlook strongly correlated with my own.

The more I think about it, the more I’m beginning to understand (or I hope I’m beginning to understand) the difference between the sort of ‘innocent’ and ‘well-meaning’ love that I think most people associate with the word, and the iron-hard compassionate love that I think Gandhi and King were really talking about. In…
... never mind that this ‘rule’ was created exactly to address the problem represented by someone like Trump, or the fact that he actually lost the popular vote.
I was literally just talking about this to a friend at work.
That’s great and all... but the city really needs housing and amenities.
