You Know Who’s Available to Replace Joe Biden? Al Franken!
  • Yeah and Al was good at it too before he got sac'ed for a dumb gag photo!

    Jon is probably a bit more eloquent and has an impeccable moral compass. I've got a good feeling he's smart enough to know he doesn't know shit about most things but would during himself with people that do and would listen to them on those matters.

    Also, he doesn't want to do it which makes me think he'd actually be good at it. He'd recognize it as a mostly shit job that needs to be done well and not as some sort of self-aggrandizing accomplishment after decades in politics. Something about true leaders not seeking power but having it thrust upon them I guess :>

  • Price will increase by $10 for v1.0 after the Steam Summer Sale
  • Inflation applies to games that are actively being developed for sure. Games don't program themselves. You need people to do it. Those people need wages to pay rent/food/utilities. If the prices of those things go up they'll need higher wages which will usually come from higher prices on the game that in this case, they continuously develop.

  • Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales?
  • Don't buy Disco Elysium. Pirate it.

    The original devs got screwed over by the publisher ZA/UM. The devs actively encourage people to pirate the game so the scumbag publisher won't get to profit off what they created.

    It's a great game and the OG devs want you to play it for free by pirating :>

  • [Discussion thread] A Quiet Place - Day One
  • Very little actual screen time with monsters. Like maybe 5-10 minutes tops if I recall. But their presence is always felt from the tension in the characters.

    Definitely more of a character based story in the framework of a monster horror.

    Edit: whoops disregard this thought it was the original a quiet place

  • Can Biden be replaced as Democrat nominee? Who could replace him?
  • A lot of the presidency seems to be cheerleading and keeping up appearances which is what a lot of celebrities are pretty good at anyways so I'm the spirit of slam dunking Trump on the name recognition side may I propose:

    Not like it's the first time we've had an actor as president or anything either :>

  • A proper sequel to Star Control 2 from the original creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III is on Kickstarter!

    Star Control 2 was a seminal gaming experience for me in my younger days and I'm pretty pumped about a proper sequel to it from the original creators, Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III, after so many years!

    After the lackluster "sequels" (Star Control 3 and Star Control: Origins) that were made largely without the original developers input, I had pretty much given up the franchise for dead till now.

    Still like 27 days to go on their Kickstarter at the time of this posting so get on the Frungy hype train while you can!

    For those of you not in the know, you can get Star Control 2 for free on Steam and see what the pinnacle of DOS adventure gaming was all about :D

    In Defense of Wasps: A Misunderstood Insect

    www.theguardian.com In defence of wasps: a misunderstood insect with human-like qualities

    Their use of large objects to geo-locate and love of sugary treats may make them a nuisance, but we can’t live without them

    Does this count as noncredibledefense? :>
