Not my game of choice, but as an elderly gamer, this works for me.

Worsening in Israel. Not the two faced AIPAC fueled support they have now, but fully empowered to destabilize the entire region and genocide with even more glee. Ghastly butchery on display, not as an attempt to shame the administration, but to boast.

Complete withdrawal of Ukranian aid. Naked support for Russian incursion wherever they see fit.

Pulling out of NATO as well as any other meaningful international consortiums.

Worsening relations with ally nations

No clue here. But if even 10% of his domestic threats are enacted, bad times.

EDIT: my rambling screed ignored the question, sorrey.

They will be the ‘enemy within’. And treated like leftists have been for a long time here. All without the street cred to back it up.

Sadly I wasn’t wondering. Just watching the country implode very quickly, only for an equally horrifying explosion coming all too soon.

There will be mass violence if Trump wins or loses. Far more manageable if the latter, but democrats are masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

So many amazing ideas in Arcanum. Time to finally check out the various modernization patches and mods and give it a spin.

My first CRPG was also from a pawnshop! Though it was the original Wizardry in 1982 ;)

Are you me?!?!

I’ve been evangelizing about that game to any gamer I meet, especially old sk00l Fallout fans since… I bought it in 2001 ;)

Could we please focus on Rampart, I mean, Gaza…

You won’t get through to the Putin shills. No matter how much the ruble tanks, they’re in it for the long haul

‘A good republican body, rrrrridled with phlebitis!’

Sorrey I missed your question about her radicalization.

It stemmed from separation anxiety due to her mother working while she was young. Which metastasized into a hatred of women in the workforce. Ironic given how much she worked with men who viewed her as nothing more than a novelty, all while she crafted much of the modern GOP ethos.

I wasn’t aware there was one about her!

Most of my information, outside of my baseline knowledge of her anti-ERA shenanigans, is from some recent Behind the Bastards episodes about her.

One of the greatest political operatives of the 20th century, in terms of how widespread her horrifying legacy is. She only cosplayed as a frumpy housewife all while trying to lock the US an eternal fictionalized version of the 1950s.

Phylis Schlafly, one of the main architects behind the modern religious right controlled GOP.

So utterly grim that it perfectly explains the entire conservative movement.

“Life is bad. Anyone who isn’t miserable and angry like me is cheating and must be destroyed.”

Sounds vaguely familiar. I think it was more than just pong.

It’s been so long. I honestly don’t remember :(

Pong on some device in the late 70s. So that might not count.

Oregon Trail on a computer store Apple ][.

Finally Wizardry I on my own Apple ][+. Early 1982 iirc.

Same here on both counts!

One of my former WoW guild members and I worked for the same company and had coordinated a job for me out of state (couple day install) a week before I met them at our first guild meet. Huge multinational and we had never interacted prior nor worked in a situation that we would.

But in his case it damn well appears to be both, given his long history of drug abuse AND love for eating very questionable meat.

Can I borrow some of that crow? I was CERTAIN that despite his obvious issues and steadfast refusal to even address them, that Biden stepping out of the race would be the death knell for the US.

Yet here we are and I feel HOPE for the first time in a long time. Kamala feels like she’ll be more than just a gatekeeper against fascism in the short term. I’m still nervous because… politicians are still politicians. But her record has been almost overwhelmingly good, even saying back to her time as AG of California.

Ernst Rohm seems more fitting
