And hangs indefinitely 70% of the way through.

Requiring citizens to first submit to military indoctrination before being allowed to vote is one of the worst ideas I can imagine. I’m not anti-military, by the way, but they will tell you themselves that not everyone is cut out for military service, which is antithetical to democratic self-governance.

Procedurally-generated dungeons are more widespread than just Rogue, though. I’m not sure if Rogue did it first (Akalabeth also came out in 1980, and had a procedurally generated world), but it has been done by so many others that it, in and of itself, cannot make something Rogue-like.

Other than the randomized dungeon, what did it share with Rogue? When you died, your character kept their stats, and all their stuff remained where they had died to be retrieved.

The DSM V has a pretty good write-up of Dwarf Fortress.

That header image makes me so sad. Someone please tell me that’s not an actual ‘65 I’m looking at.

I checked their math and it works out.

Harsh but fair assessment of the Sixers.

Comically overpriced. This thing would be a headscratcher at $5,000 (I know everyone is saying $6,000, but even that sounds too high to me), but at nearly $13,000 it’s not even a close question. More than twenty years old, high strung German engineering, optioned as a livery car, evidence of less than meticulous…

Older Millennial (early 30s) here. I sold my Mustang and bought a BMW (e39 540i) wagon because—surprise!—I’ve got a family now. If I had room in a garage and in my budget for another car, I’d definitely consider picking up another Mustang, because they’re fun. The Camaro has never felt fun to me. It’s like the car…

SN95s are glorious and I will not hear it said to the contrary.

Are you illiterate?

Fantastically irrelevant and mush-brained, but I’m sure you can find some like-minded persons to nod their heads and commiserate with you about the time someone didn’t share your ridiculous beliefs on the internet. And I mean really like-minded. Close to identical. Because anything less than rigorous adherence to the…

I act like it absolves? Are you for real? Where did I say that it’s better that rape is about sexual gratification than “power and control”?

Ah, gotcha. Agreed that rape is not “only” about sexual desire. Some rape is certainly not motivated even primarily by sexual desire. But neither is rape “only about power and control.” Power and control are elements, as are many other things (not necessarily applicable in all cases), but they’re obviously and plainly…

Uh, wow. I feel kind of raped by all the words you put in my mouth.

I don’t really get this argument. Women have power and control issues no less than men, just as they have libidos no less than men. If the question is “Why don’t more women commit rape?”, the answer seems pretty plainly to be some mix of physical sexual dimorphism (including vastly higher levels of testosterone in…

Yes?

Nonsense, you could always go for the Italian gambit and express disproportionate joy at seeing this person again (or for the first time!), spread your arms wide with hands to the side but still above your ears, and then grab them by the nape/back of head and kiss each cheek before firmly hugging them. When you let…
