I am speechless. We are ruled by imbeciles.

Holy shit I just realized something. Whatever one thinks of the pandemic, the deal is by March the US should be gtg, vaccinated (I am ruling out all alien conspiracies, the vaccine being a zombie drug, etc.) and ready to mingle. Just in time, I realized, for a fine Spring Training. And that...

But it isn't our fault over time retardation creeps into everything. Like a surfer, you have to find the edge right in front of the curl of stupidification. I am glad others feel the same way b/c this pandemic is making it feasible to do a character, do a game, a guild, etc. But I'm sorry, I...

Just to try to think about earliest case scenarios, and in terms of actually rolled out, well funded games, wasn't this SWTOR? It certainly wasn't p2w. Where exactly was the shared world? It was a few game components stapled together. A solo game + mp. But let me cut to my chase. This simply...

We could use a "Great Tales of Engineering" thread. It kinda gets covered in the astronomy thread for space stuff. But the transcontinental railroad. The panama canal. Hell, the opening of the Great Lakes due to the Erie canal. The Hoover Damn. How many bombers per hour we rolled off our fully...

I just gotta say, I am kind of surprised at how people are griefing Myles Garrett. This is not like something that's "familiar" for him, or "characteristic." He simply flipped a switch and tried to kill another human being with his own two hands. It was over in a flash, and that has been that...

Why, that is UNHEARD OF. I am literally clutching my pearls and little rivulets of pee are running down my knickers. I feel faint. There are only GENTLEMEN AND MENTORS in our sports, sir, and I shall not stand for innuendo that our Chaste and Wise coaches, never mind our most pure and clean...

woah. I haven't spun like that since Reagan. I am def needing to see some people have some goddam FUN. Summer 2021. Global BBQ. A real baseball season. Half-days all year.

I have two modes on this issue, and maybe we can agree. I can defend and get even misty eyed about how things used to be. Why? Because the world is fascinating and everything you can study is fascinating. That is a fact. In an ideal world we would afford ourselves the time and luxury of serious...

But meanwhile, out in the dog lands of reality, the youth of today deal with the nitty gritty of The Suck: You had all the right gear! You put extra points into AGI and STA! You even chose your gender to min/max this bitch! In capitalist US, the game min/maxes YOU.

There is no such thing as too much education in a society. I think you mean, there are too many educational requirements, or too many institutions of education, or the way the system of distributing education is antiquated and over priced, or that our society sucks at integrating education...

I am thinking that will end up being the new niche, yes.

I like the way Mayfield runs down the field after a big play. It's completely goofy, and exactly how someone who is barely out of being a kid should behave. go brownies

The 70's. Lots of ways to describe the 70's. One way is, here is Frank Zappa on the Mike Douglas Show, after an interview, playing "Black Napkins." Since Zappa was alone, the house band backed him -- The Mike Douglas Orchestra. The 70's, ladies and gentlemen. Daytime TV. Network. No cable. All...

damn. I forgot this episode. it's tight.

If you are going to knock that win because of what happened in the last 3 minutes, and leave out the part where Titans players were openly weeping on the field, and Tannehil had to call a "personal time-out" so he could talk to his Pastor about whether his life has been for naught, and the...

Totally personal story of how strange life is. So I have the ancient runed scroll of Ph.D. It was hard to get! Let's just say, deep in the woods of weird humanities. This was a ways last century. Did I say it was difficult? Year I started, program admitted 7 out of more than 300. I have...

Squiggy is gone.

The sekret of Stevie Nicks: she stole her gorgeous vibrato by imitating Dolly Parton. This song really shows it. At times she sounds exactly like Dolly.

Worfed you b/c the range of tastes covered on this thread is Listening to Tusk! Everyone had heard all of Rumors on the radio for so long. Tusk flew by. Pity!

old people get settled in their tech habits. I set my mom's stereo up for streaming. She still just likes the habit of cd's. I would hunt for a carousel unit. PLenty of tested units for sale. cd600

timing is everything

Exactly. I never was lucky enough to see them, not in my circuits at the time. But some bands truly are just off the rails and god bless 'em. And I don't mean GG Allin off the rails. That's a diff monster and not sure I like that one.

Well. This will probably be very useful. Especially when Landrew needs to be built...

Fuck Spanier. He fucking knew. I'm still pissed. I got credentials this entire disgrace disrespected. Fuckin with my papers. Not good. https://www.wwlp.com/news/conviction-and-jail-sentence-reinstated-for-former-penn-state-president-previously-found-guilty-of-misdemeanor-child-endangerment/

very 2020 vibe imo

The only good summary of the Chinese moon mission will end with the sentence, "and so after billions of wasted hours, and a nation furious at an incompetent and corrupt government, they gave up, and after three weeks of national unrest, the CCP was no more."

I think a useful starting division is, content vs. design. Design = the mechanics, from combat to character development to world design. Content = what is this game about? I pick those two and keep the definitions real simple because I think content might be the block. We can hash out...

Snappily half-hearted, focused sleepwalking, please god don't let me get injured. Speaking of which Burrow's injury is perfect 2020 bullshit. I hope he comes back but let's face it. Developing promising QB's does not usually start by treating their leg like salt water taffy knocking them out...

RIGGED

Just saying, Teekay does not know what a meme is. Even though I will proudly march next to him on our shining path into our new future under Biden, and despite attack plans from the Right, we await all challenges, and further baseless conspiracies. The future has no instructions Folks! Let's...

I am all about being supreme

I just would rather wired, so i always have. I have decided to be irrational about it. When Apple got rid of the 3.5mm plug, I knew I was on the Righteous Path. Sennheisers!. Unless if something has gone wrong in the world, Sennheiser should always be solid. On my list. Maybe after the Biden...

Has anyone else during this weird year been listening to more 90's music? I've even dipped back to new wave. 2020 is obvously making me have a grudge against the 21st century lol.

If you just cracked a beer, or did a shot, here ya go. To bar peeps everywhere, my liver served notice a ways back, or i'd join ya

throwback time. dear old peter.
