Given how...intense sensations can be when the glans slips out of its sleeve and starts rubbing against something, I can't imagine being circumcised and that glans hanging out and rubbing against things 24/7 as being anything other than uncomfortable, unless a person loses a large amount of sensation in it over time.

Retro is too broad. Pixel Art would be a misnomer for most games. Describing something as having 8-bit or 16-bit style evoke very specific aesthetic expectations that I don't really think any of your alternate suggestions amply satisfy without being too vague or creating even more potential confusion.

I don't even recall an extreme amount of micromanagement in SC4. I thought it struck a great balance. It was immediately accessible but there lots of layers in place that those who really wanted to drill down to a granular level and control the development of each and every zoned plot or precisely set demand across…

Disagree. I'm sorry you don't have a deep, abiding love of charts, graphs, trends, and emergent simulation systems and the ability to use data and tools to affect those systems, but believe it or not, a lot of people do.

That's an excellent question, because Tropico (3 & 4) made for fantastic console ports, and the controls/methodology are, for all intents and purposes, identical to what a modern console SimCity would need.

Your sarcasm is almost palpable.

It has a lot of modern comforts—no need to stick power lines or pipes on every square, for example

Holy shit this could be amazing.

It's always good to have a blacklight on hand. Aside from being cool as shit, they have particular random utilities for particularly random things (as evidenced in this very article).

This seemed a phenomenon limited to high school and perhaps early college in my experience.

It has profound psychological effects on some people, possibility for dependency included. To say otherwise is disingenuous and in strict denial of reality.

Needless sanctimony wins no friends. That is all.

Oh, good. Being in CO it's both legal and proven by studies to be healthier than coffee. I feel vindicated. Go about your angry business, you wannabe Buzz Killington, you.

Yes, that, and only that. No way there could be practical considerations that factor into that decision. Strictly appearances.

NES, SNES and Gameboy notwithstanding, I love Nintendo games but mostly hate their hardware. I would welcome such an event were it to ever happen, but I hold no illusions about the actual likelihood of that happening.

Object lesson in ignorance right here.

As far as marijuana goes, it's been a constant in my life for well over 12 years now and I have a comfortable relationship to the drug. I'm the kind of guy who can buy a gram and have it last a week or more. I load a bowl every day after work and slowly take it in as the night goes on. I don't like being stoned and…

You've been going to the wrong nerd parties.

It was made ahead of time, proofed in trays overnight, and stored in a cooler until needed. We had a "dough guy" who did 3 12 hour shifts a week, his entire job was dough and sauce.

That's crazy. I worked a pizza place for a while (not Pizza Hut) and when we did pan doughs, the dough ball was lightly brushed with olive oil and hand-docked into the bottom of the pan. That was all it took. I bet <1tsp of oil was more than enough to coat the dough and it never stuck.
