Can we stop having a war on the continent of Usea for 5 minutes?!

AC7 was great

The game that chickened out of doing a full blown Osea bad plotline (in universe, Osea is the stand in for the USA), and completely dropped it halfway through the game to do a "ehhh, it was Belka's fault yet again" is good. Okay.

At least two members of the Academy leadership went so far as to suggest that the organization should apologize to the FBI for offending it. One opined that he didn’t think Roy, a full member of the Academy, should be allowed to present at all.

Fucking LIB

Like seriously, apologize for what? Hurting the feds feelings? Merely having a guy suggest that the feds may be (they do) jailing innocent people?

If you really want to get into it the general rule for road travel has always been don't go too far outside of the state borders of the state on your license plates. It doesn't matter what state it is, having "unreasonably" (e.g. generally about 3 states away is about the point it starts) out of state plates has always increased your chances of being shaken down by the cops, mainly because they know you're very likely not going to be able to make the trip to traffic court so you can even attempt to contest your ticket.

Sorta, that goes for the guys on the ground, but radar tracks stuff in relation to it. So if there's a plane 30km ahead of you and you're both going the same speed in the same direction, that plane in front is significantly harder to see on radar.

Again, this is how it had been described to me.

It's real.

Also, shame on OP for not sharing a link.

Okay, SC is for better or worse is supposed to be what Chris Robert wanted Freelancer to be. And about Freelancer itself, it is part of the space sim lite milsim type of games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, Wing Commander were back in the day. Now there is another game series that sorta shares the same lite milsim type gameplay loop, just with this thing called a Battlemech, and yes it's Mechwarrior.

Since we covered the basics of what SC is intended to be, let's go back to the context of the original kickstarter, 2012-13. Nearly every single developer was going very far out of their way to strip down games in a way that made them feel very disposable, and nobody (except for a canadian studio by the name Pirhana Games with Mechwarrior Online) had any interest in making any sort of game in the vein of the lite milsims of the 90s and early 2000s. And imho judging by the stuff made in the recent years in the space these developers also bent over backwards for mass appeal that was honestly never going to happen. So of course Star Citizen took off like it did and never looked back.

Honestly I want to say that on some level people knew Chris Roberts was on some level going to be a problem for the development of the game, but the idea of having a new space lite milsim that out right said "learn to play or don't play at all" makes that issue a lot easier to ignore in a way. Not gonna lie, I want a lite milsim game that makes zero accommodations for new/casual players, but that doesn't make any money for the most part.

I know you're all laughing at the name of this board game, but these knock off monopoly board games are pretty god damn depressing, and just not funny at all if you actually look into it. Especially since I know there's a lot more of these local themed monopoly games out there, and in practically the nearly the exact same box and graphic design. The one in the OP is for Cumming, GA.

This is pretty much reaffirming my position that the only mercy and compassion that evangelicals should ever get is the wall.

Sounds more like everyone used [realname][number] as their password because IT decided that changing your password every couple months is the most "secure". Even though it's not and causes [realname][number] passwords in the first place.

The same reason why it's rare to ever find interesting stuff at yard sales, thrift stores, and flea markets anymore. The internet and that nearly everyone having a phone has made people a lot more aware of what they have, and if not that the existence of flippers. People who make it their life mission to be as close to a leech on society as landlords are. What they do more often than not is find someone who doesn't know what they have, buy it off them, then fix any minor issues, then flip it for a lot more than they paid and put into it.

I guess all us living in rural US can just go fuck ourselves, oh wait that's just been the default stance of every single motherfucker in governance for a long time now.

Quit being an edgelord, and maybe try actually try touching grass for once.

You should've countered with telling them that it looks like PepsiCo read that one greentext and took it as a challenge.
