The Trump cult only mattered up to now; it's mainly irrelevant going forward, except as a source of Brownshirts.

LOL, "-2028". He's going to die in the traces and it's going to be the J.D. Vance presidency until about 2050.

I mean, yes, eventually, after I found a bunch of quartz outcroppings and manually ground them to dust, I was able to get these options.

But quartz being completely unreachable for like, 4 whole tiers, is Unfun.

Also, this has been an issue for 6 years. Given how great every other part of the game is, this in particular stands out as a problem to me.

Looking good! How are you getting around, generally? Trucks?

I'm really getting annoyed by the desert start location. The closest quartz is under a mountain inaccessible unless I finish researching Nobelisk, and the second-closest is 2.5km away through impassible terrain filled with unkillable monsters. It's less "challenging" and more... "needlessly obnoxious".

Gazpacho, like revenge, is best served cold.

What happened to the Pike St. Gondola plan? I was told it was "a sure thing", a "lock", "absolutely going to happen". It's almost like all these gondola proposals are grifts designed to extract money from the region while providing zero benefits!

Is this the part of Russia that Russia invaded and annexed from Ukraine originally?

What about devious prunes?

I wish I could be in meetings that productive and pleasant ;_;

It took me like four episodes to realize

As we are certified trash people, Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan. It's absolutely stupid but we love it.

We've been watching a lot of "comfort" shows this season. As others have mentioned, Slime S3 is like the comfort anime of board room meetings - lots of exposition, but it is moving things along and these characters have all been well established already so it's like hanging out with friends.

Laid-back Camp S3 was decidedly light on "Camp" but really brought its "Laid-back" game.

Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction is a weird mix of Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Oshii, and slice-of-life that we're totally into. It also reminds us a bit of last year's amazing Heavenly Delusion (when is that getting another season!?)

Just started the most recent Demon Slayer arc, looks good so far, and the new Netflix season of Kimi ni Todoke, which is excellent even if we keep forgetting each episode is an hour long.

Alpha Strike is really fast - it's basically Battleforce with single units - but has almost all the TacOps rules in some form or another, just without hit locations (well, back arc still exists...)

You could probably play an AS game with the same number of people but each running their own lance, and still take less time. On the downside, it has all the same terrain requirements as any 28mm game (unless you play with hexes).
