Your response to a comment about companies pushing legislation was to complain about a Supreme Court decision that overturned pieces of existing legislation?

Studios know that they have to tread at least semi-lightly in regard to rebooting public domain material. While they clearly don’t have to buy up those rights to produce material based on that IP, it means that anyone else who wants to can do so as well (potentially diluting the brand).

For the record, I don’t think you’re being condescending, but I do think you might be being myopic. The vast majority of us folks just need to get more exercise. We have to start somewhere.

Possibly, or it may be that different human beings have vastly different perspectives, and you might not be seeing the situation from ours.

Counterpoint:

I mean, didn’t we all used to blow in the cartridge from time to time?

Ah yes. I agree, though I think they want to make sure it’s clear that the “Battle.net” used in WC2, WC3, and Diablo II are totally distinct from the current Battle.net.

Online advertising is on its way out, I’m afraid, and adblocking a site is not some sort of moral grievance. I block ads both because they’re annoying and because sometimes they get me to buy stuff I wouldn’t have otherwise. I have to block ads for my wallet’s sake.

It won’t show up on your launcher, but your keys will show up in the other page I linked to you. And Blizzard lets you download the install client at any point.

If you associated your key with your account at some point, you may already have the ability to download it from the Blizzard website:

I’m surprised you didn’t speak a little more about the 1992 film with her in this interview. Even just basic questions like whether she’d seen it, or how she was working to make her interpretation of the character her own.

vDiplomacy and webDiplomacy both run on the same open source code. vDiplomacy is more variant-oriented, with a lot more maps supported. It tends to be a bit more free-for-all, and their forums haven’t transitioned over to the nicer format yet.

Eldritch Horror & Arkham Horror each have a lot of RPG-lite elements, though I personally find there are too many random elements in the game. I find the decisions I make on my turn to be kind of arbitrary; it’s to the point that I’d rather just play Talisman.

In addition to webDiplomacy, I can also recommend vDiplomacy and PlayDiplomacy, both of which perform the region coloring you describe.

If you’re looking for something that can often resemble an RPG, but is not an RPG, I highly suggest learning to play Diplomacy, particularly as part of a Play-by-Email (PbEM) or Play-by-Forum (PbF) community.

It doesn’t matter whether I’ve worked in that industry or not. All I’m saying is that a restaurant should be more honest about the hours it is open.

Your customers aren’t being asses if they come in at 9:50 so long as what they’re asking for can be reasonably handled in that 10 minutes.

I disagree. If a restaurant doesn’t want new customers X minutes prior to closing, they should close X minutes earlier.

WastinTime got his ship into space on turn 329, in the year 210 BC. That’s around one hundred turns faster than the previous best. It arrived in 90 AD to grant the space race victory

If they’re really the sort of people who would kill their fellow Americans over a few gun regulations, then they’re exactly the sort of people that shouldn’t have guns in the first place.
