Have you seen Ready or Not?

EverQuest Project 1999. It's missing my favorite expansion (Luclin) but the only free server that runs that is mostly deadz whereas P99 is jamming.

I don't know what it is but EQ is just straight nostalgia for me. Whenever I'm having a rough time I can take a walk down memory lane on my druid.

I cleansed my SOMA trauma with The Talos Principle. Very similar themes but viewed through a hopeful lens.

Can we please stick to talking about Rampart guys?

I'm close to you. 118F in Colorado, -30 in Chicago during the polar vortex. I had icicles in my beard within minutes, it was gnarly.

All the pro life arguments are new. Theyre disingenuous and hypocritical. The modern pro life movement was cooked up by hardcore right wingers when they lost the fight against civil rights , in a transparent attempt to create a new voting bloc. Before the 1960s, the Baptists and Methodists were pro abortion and called it a Catholic issue.

Person hood is a red herring. Even if you accept fetal person hood, no one owes another person the use of their body.

Lastly, legislators have no place in medical decisions. Doctors are not terminating viable fetuses in the third trimester and never have. There were less than 10 third trimester abortions in the US per year and all we're either to save the life of the mother or to remove a fetus that had a fatal defect. Banning the procedure will only have deleterious effects and keep doctors from performing vital life saving procedures. We have already seen this in Ireland and central America.

As of 2015 in the United States, more than 90% of abortions occur before the 13th week, 1.3% of abortions in the United States took place after the 21st week,[4] and less than 1% occur after 24 weeks.[5][6]

No one is terminating viable fetuses in the third trimester.

It was a right until a few hand picked Catholic activist judges, chosen by a Christian Dominionist think tank and corruptly paid off by billionaires, decided it wasn't a right anymore.

It's an atmospheric sort of proof of concept but I didn't find it very compelling. I've played better source mods.

I've got a lot more money than time. I get to take like 4 hours a week so it's gotta count.

I guess they know their audience.

Exactly this. The money tap has dried up post pandemic and they are seeking new revenue streams while also slashing costs. The hunger for perpetual growth to sate the investor class and their matyroshka nesting yachts is driving these decisions.
