  • I’ll admit just one thing to that list, “dry air”. It makes my nose dry and increases pressure in my head though the lingering possibility that I have a brain tumor flying under the radar hiding behind sinus congestion is always a possibility.

    No way to know but I’d better eat an apple and pound a quart of water just to be sure. I’m sure I have some peanuts and raisins around here too and I should eat a whole head of broccoli just in case… If the head ache goes on past that I try a nap before I get fancy chemicals involved.



  • Kind of ironic that a nation with forced conscription doesn’t end up having any civilians over the age of 18 because it turns them all into combatants.

    I think that’s actually part of the Gambit. By smearing everybody in shit they more or less compel everyone to have to defend the state to protect themselves from the consequences of things they did when they were young and easily manipulated into becoming monsters.

    It doesn’t mean they’re not monsters, it just means that a lot of innocent children got turned into monsters who are no longer innocent or children.

    There is no rank higher than your humanity and you have an obligation to submit to it. These soldiers should have known before they turned 18 not to kill children and that bulldozers attacking houses is wrong. They should have known better and possibly many of them did. I hope every polite nation arrests these people and sends them to the Hague.

    I wish them all the worst.









  • I have two physical copies, I own it on steam, and it is the reason I learn how to bootleg games so that I could give a copy of it to all of my friends.

    A couple years ago I recycled a whole bunch of laptops and loaded each one up with a version of Windows 10 that I hacked into submission specifically to play this game. Each device is loaded with a connection to a talescale VPN and a few games that we used to play in high school.

    Warlords 3, Warcraft 3 (and TFT), unreal tournament, quake 3, MechWarrior two mercenaries, metal fatigue, command & conquer Red alert 2 (and Yuri’s revenge), age of empires 2 with all the fixins, civilization 3, and some childhood magic like the windows entertainment pack, space cadet pinball, a bunch of emulators and roms, and some dos classics like DX ball and epic pinball.

    I sent everybody an Xbox controller too.

    Honestly, The thing we play the most of together is probably Quake 3.

    Since these laptops ‘just work’ they’ve become the default gaming console for many of the kids too. I’m a video game Evangelist.
