Not him but:

Risk of rain (returns) Hades 1/2 Nebulous fleet command Star sector Homeworld 1, cataclysm (emergence), 2 Battletech (!!!!!!!) Spaz 1 (not 2!) Mechwarrior 2 Mechwarrior 5 mercs/clans Terraria FTL Steamworld games (all) Cortex command (interesting pile of shit) Kerbal Etc... So much.

More or less mainstream games: Helldivers2 (!!!) Xcom (ufo: enemy unknown) Xcom Xcom 2 Civilisation Etc..

With Games, like with all art, it's impossible to point to 1 or two which are the best. I've read many books, watched many films, series, plays, listened to music and played a lot of games.. i can't just pick one or two which where "the best". I can name a bunch which where great though.

Tried it twice. Couldn't get a dog from the shelter. Why? We weren't married. (?) The both of us worked 4 days. We had a child.

So we shrugged it off, waved and snuggled with the sad doggies and never came back.

And we just bought a puppy. No rules. No problems. Now, 20+ years later we're on to our third very happy dog.

Anyway: a lot of shelters do their best to scare people away. And they succeed.

You're just citating Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax".

Lazy. Get back to work and make your Overlord happy!

Ja, Limburg. Vandaar. ;)

Edit: the axeguy was stopped by visitors of a local bar while pursuing the little girl. Noone got seriously injured and the unhinged moron was left in police custody.

Now, in the US these kind of stories have a different ending. In the US this guy would've shot the girl and rampaged through that bar.

A lot of people dislike the "fly hunt" episode.

Dude. It's time you start playing flight and/or space sims.

Nobody had this, it was way too expensive for what it was. Everybody just kept saving for a msx or Commodore and skipped this.

Oh, you sweet summer child...

Up to the 90s my friend. Then 3.5 floppy"s took over (1.44 MEGAbyte!) then came zip (100MB) but only for rich people, then it became the era of CD and later dvd burning. Internet was not measured in mbits back then and most of the time not even in kbits. The internet was not a valid delivery system. It was slow and very expensive. Also the first memory cards (CF) around the millennium and from there it went on to the 10s and around there you got the pivot to what we have now.

Tape is still around in computing; its cheap, it's cheerful, dependable and has quite a throughput. Seeking on it is still horrible though. But anyway, watching a real mechanised tapelibrary do it's thing backing up computer systems is still mesmerizing.

Not only good videogames. Good art in general. Music, text, movies, tv series and videogames all go for the "mid" nowadays. Offend noone, include everything and everyone and above all: make no hard choices which others haven't done already.

Which results in data driven hollow 1000 in a dozen AI "caught in the algorithm" trash. Just look at most what comes out of Netflix "studios" these days. It will be the end of them.

And you hear it in music too: everything sounds the same these days. Everything.

And you see the same in writing: more and more generic stuff. The big names pump out more and more of same-ish stories. Say what you like about Prime Stephen King for example, but what he wrote during his crazed coke/whiskey fueled years... It was original. And weird.

"small."

Make no mistake. Gamers Nexus is a multi million dollar company.

Sure, Bloomberg is much, much bigger. But while gamers Nexus is the underdog, it's not the toothless underdog. That little fucker will bite in bloomberg's ankles before it dies and tbf: it looks like it's already yapping and took it's first bite.

You are born in the very very very best stretch the human race has ever known.

We have solutions for almost every problem which exists today.

Wars are at an historical low point.

Chances are good you've never been even experienced war first hand.

Housing is expensive, yes. But chances are you're reading this on a couch or bed in a home, heated (or cooled), with a working stove, light at night and a fridge with edibles in it. And lets not talk about your immediate almost unrestricted access to all of human knowledge.

That would be unbelievable, impossible even during 99.9% of human history. (Or somewhere near this figure)

You should stop doomscrolling and start reading the real human history.

All of human knowledge at your fingertips. And this is what you chose to distill from it.

 

The rebellion, Sync, is dying.

Maybe it didn't sell enough. And maybe you're making more money elsewhere.

That's cool. We, well, I understand. you're not in this because you hate free time, you're in this to make money. I get it.

But if that's the case, let us know, so we can mourn the death of sync and select another client.

 

"The Federal Republic of Germany was an American creation, with the U.S. having shepherded Germany down the path of democracy following World War II. America was Germany’s big brother, and although the relationship was not always free of tension, there was never a doubt about the military support from across the Atlantic. That is now over."

Interesting read.
