If Colonization was a historically accurate video game, Alpha Centauri was one built on scientific accuracy.

I still have the manual (it’s sitting on my shelf for instant inspirational reading, for example) and it’s chock full of scientific facts about the Centauri system. Everything from its double star system (and…

Of course, this could all be solved by taking a tab of LSD. It’s like suddenly you have full access to sixth and seventh senses in addition to the regular ones.

But yes, without access to such mind altering substances, totally sympathize with Cavil’s rant.

NMS refuses to run on my PC. Getting a postcard like this is like getting a postcard from someone I was supposed to go to Hawaii with— i.e. I am so bummed.

...Still, happy you’re enjoying your time despite the inventory cram. Have fun and please let me live vicariously through all of you who are playing. The updates…

This is true of anything and everyone on the internet. See people? This is why we can’t have nice things. Stop feeling like people owe you something just because you’re a fan of it. Just sit along and go for the ride. If you don’t like the view, be polite, disembark and let other people enjoy it.

Crashes to Desktop after the fade to white. *sigh*.

By the way, as simply a person who studied the subject, I find it embarrassing, ignorant and insulting that you equate the caricature of Japanese Americans with their internment. Make no mistake, the two are different, but the one led to the other. You are inserting words into my argument where none on that subject…

I’m equating an anime lens app with how people twisted Japanese caricatures to subhuman levels during WW2, not the internment itself. One led to the other— do not twist my words.

There is a danger whenever one ethnic group demeans another. That is racism.

Anytime something demeans a particular ethnic group (the size of their eyes, the color of their skin and so on) so that others see that group as inferior, it can be construed as racism. Growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood, I was often made fun of because of my small, slanted eyes (I am Chinese American).…

I’m Chinese American and I find this snapchat filter to be over the top, painting Asians in a rather negative light by reducing them to a simplified caricature. While not completely offended by it, I find that it’s insensitive; it treads the line of painting Asians as not-human-beings (similar to the pamphlets passed…

I will never pick up a gun against someone else— too many of my own family have been killed by them.

I personally don’t believe in guns, but my friends who do own them follow these rules religiously. They even reprimand their kids when they point a toy gun at a person. While I understand where you’re coming from, these rules aren’t that difficult to follow when you’re passionate about the “hobby” (loss for words, so…

Your post made me giggle. I only like to theorize about apocalyptic scenarios— considering my personality, I’d be the first to go in such a setting. Still, fun to think about. I’ll be sure to do some research and pen a guide for any who survive though. XD

Fascinating! I never would have thought that snails were the first creatures to be domesticated for food, but it absolutely makes sense. It’s also a great food for thought option if there’s ever an apocalypse. Thanks for the post!

I’d be afraid to own one of these. It reminds me too much of another puzzle item with hellish implications... Still, nifty execution. I’ll wait to see how the first round of customers get by.

Do you mean Dawn of War? That one will be receiving a sequel, soonish:

I consider myself left but do not agree with the tactics used. This is something that might send a message to the top, but anyone who works at the restaurant (from the lowest dishwasher to the next highest executive) is affected, regardless of personal political beliefs. What’s worse is if the insect infestation isn’t…

If I’m interpreting what you’re saying correctly, you’re saying that the low income units will later be converted into offices on the same property? That they will not actually be sold/rented to low income families/individuals?

Emeryville had similar units up for sale when they built new housing along Powell Street.…

The codex can easily be taken down with one shot from a sniper with Bluescreen ammo.

But if I’m reading your situation correctly, don’t listen to Bradford— take your time during the campaign and only use the skulljack when your soldiers have mag-rifles and gauss weapons, and the aforementioned bluescreen rounds. Also,…

That is beautiful!

Hmm. On another note, could this be a way to create holograms albeit in a more primitive form? Take for example the recent innovation of suspending water molecules via soundwave. Set up a grid of them and create a suspension of molecules over a grid pattern, then shine light through it to form the…

Instinct for a rabbit, yes. Not necessarily for a human.
