Humans are social creatures. Everything we do is embedded within a social context. If that social context is going to extend beyond your family and clan, you need a tool to help you manage this. Broadly speaking, this tool is called “politics”. It’s the way we resolve differences of opinions against the arbitrary…

Of course it’s wrong to punch someone in the face. Buuuuuutttt… if you’re a Nazi, maybe you kinda deserved it.

Okay, a few things.

If the game didn’t pull bullshit, I wouldn’t need to save scum. There are too many times where the concealment indicators just outright lie, or where a pod that shouldn’t activate magically does. The LoS indicators are also garbage, even with mods, so sometimes you end up needing to just kinda hope that you’re gonna…

LW1 basically cranked the difficulty curve to “you’re gonna lose a LOT of soldiers”. Is that still true in LW2? I’m interested in more variety but not really higher difficulty. I’m an unashamed save-scummer who does not like soldiers dying.

Fuck, man. As a dude who plays non-classical violin, college in the 90s was fucking terrible. “Play DMB, bro!” was second only to, “Play The Devil Went Down to Georgia!” in terms of nuisance.

The only ones of these I’ve seen are The Nice Guys and Drive, so I’ll limit my discussion.

Featuring the Browns, because they know what it’s like to never score.

I don’t mind the Russian shit that much. It’s fucking Bonnie that I hated. Fuckin’ Bonnie.

Just Johnny Cage. He and Trump have a very similar line of attack.

Bernie Sanders thinks regulated market solutions are a sound economic strategy. If he’s a Socialist, I’m goddamn Chico Marx.

Ashley, if you could solve that particular computer vision problem, you could win a Nobel Prize in Computer Science, and probably a Turing Award for good measure.

Valve used to make games. Now they just make money.

Do you ever park on an incline, even a gentle one? Do you like your engine mounts? If both these things are true… use your goddamn parking brake. Think of it this way- if you don’t, you’re using your engine to hold your car in place.

Harvey Dent will remember this.

Oh, look at that, a new character that I get to watch die horribly.

I’ve also noticed that most of those manage to put the wheel directly in my eyeline to the instruments. Maybe I’m spoiled by my 2004 Saturn Ion (which has the instruments closer to the center of the dash), but these newfangled cars seem to want me to guess how fast I’m going.

Honestly, Clinton v. Trump is like, the most terrifying outcome I can think of. We’ve already lost. I’m ready to nuke the fucking world right the fuck now, because, shit, it’s beyond repair.

I kinda want a Buckaroo Banzai total conversion mod. Think about it, it’d work. You’re managing an entire infrastructure (the Blue Blaze Irregulars, the Hong Kong Cavaliers, the rest of the support staff), you’re going on missions (I mean, the climax of the film basically plays out like an X-Com mission), you’re…

It depends on the implementation. CivIV’s stack-of-doom was terrible. But CivV’s ranged units were also terrible.
