I'm American. I voted Democrat all my life, but grew disillusioned with Democrats' willingness to coddle Islamic beliefs which are antithetical to liberal beliefs in return for votes, along with believing some form of border control is needed on the U.S. Mexico border due to the violent actions of the cartels. I believe Biden's track record so far has vindicated me when it comes to his atrocious foreign policy blunders. The only reason I voted for Biden this election was because I was emotionally manipulated by family. The point is, I'm pretty disillusioned with the current crop of feckless fops running the government, and maybe we need a new, younger, more center-left president instead of Twitter-Fingers Don or Ice Cream Joe.

Well. The title is pretty self-explanatory. I predicted a domino-effect would happen if Biden pulled out of Afghanistan. Seeing America as too weak to defend our allies overseas, Russia has targeted Ukraine while China takes a break from harassing Taiwan, watching to see if America still has the cojones to stand against military actions against those democracies we wish to protect. Meanwhile, with the Eastern front, so to speak, such a fuckup, Biden is not paying attention to the Iran Deal, trying to get it pushed through ASAP to try and score a "win" with his far left supporters who believe the world's only Jewish state of Israel to be some sort of Nazi Germany reborn, and those poor, innocent bloodthirsty jihadists who use their own women and children as human shields must be the victims of white Jew on brown terrorist hate crime. Nevermind Iran is building an "unbombable missile construction facility" that will grant it the same ability to fund terror unassailable in the region like North Korea does. Speaking of Fat Boy Kim, he seems to see this as a moment in which to harass his neighbors in Japan and South Korea, testing his own junky nuke prototypes in his dystopian Squid Game Hermit Kingdom. I'm not happy all this shit has happened. But I am disappointed in the leaders of the various nations of the free world. If an autistic 27 year old fat fuck crackbaby who can't hold down a job and lives in his adopted parents' basement can predict and identify threats to the free world before you can, what sort of a leader are you? I don't like Biden or Trump, I think this is a failure on the part of critical thinking in the free world as a whole. We traded our ability to judge whether we can trust somebody with the idea of a hippy-dippy "ohhhhh, coooommmm-bay-yaaaaa, kumbaya, coooooooooommmmmmm-baya," mentality of anesthizing ourselves to the world's troubles, trying to justify our apathy with "its not our jobs", and constantly making excuses for our elected representatives on both sides of the aisle for our own parties' comparatively selfish reasonings. We were left unsure of whether a just war is better than an unjust peace, considering censoring ourselves, our ideas of what's right or wrong, over fears of offending others who wouldn't hesitate to silence our own ideals of freedom, licente-style democracy, and corruption-fighting governments, as we slowly sank into a morass of SJW and Far Right arguing; no sane middle ground voice has been heeded, no compromises to ensure the torch of liberty stays lit. I can only hope my prediction continues to be right: that even though ignorant decisions by both politicians and voters would extend the amount of time needed for it, that eventually the entire world will have freedom of religion, equal rights, and democratic government. It just sucks that I predict people will suffer, be oppressed, and die beforehand who could have avoided that fate if we played our cards better, so to speak.

Thanks for the mention! Of special interest to me is the possibility of any nations where the majority of the population is not Humanity but Beastmen. The idea of the jungle nations with Mantisfolk Hive-Cities mentioned before makes me wonder if the church is pragmatic on their existence or constantly sending doomed crusades on genocidal purges of the insectoid beastfolk, failing due to their superior numbers.

It's actually a new indie phenomenon called "retraux". People actually like the older-style of graphics, just as some people like older styles of animation like the Rankin-Bass Lord of the Rings movies, or 90s style anime compared to modern. A whole group of game designers who enjoy the way older graphics can induce creepiness decided a while ago to make an annual Haunted Playstation 1 Demodisc yearly.

It would appear I prematurely shot rope with this thread.

What about a slight modification of the rope arrow to allow for tightrope walking between high rooftops?

I haven't seen the new episodes yet, but I loved episode 1. Can anyone else give a good review before I watch more? I love Zach's humor.

And here's the web archive link for its download site. https://web.archive.org/web/20201109034056/https://fortresslabs.tf/playstation/

Here's the trailer for it.

Was thinking back on older video games, and feeling nostalgic, thought about some PS1 classics. I saw a few years ago a few ad videos and walkthroughs of a Team Fortress 2 custom made deathrun map named "Deathrun Playstation" where the TF2 mercenaries travel into a PS1 and complete a deathrun based on Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Toy Story 2 The Game, Gex 3D, and a race based on a racing game whose name I forget. The final level is a boss fight against a bug/virus in the PS1 system that has been trying to beat the heroes of each game, created when some idiot put a DVD recording of The Shining into the PS1, in the form of a box tv with the bugeyed face of Jack Torrance weilding an ax, tricking him to fall into a grave in the hedgemaze ported from Blood. Then the real final boss begins: Johnny 2.0, a massive deathbot that shoots explosives shaped like that one meme cup of Buzz Lightyear with a dick straw. The whole thing is amazing, but it's hard to find a download and a server now I hear. Haven't been on a laptop for a few years.

What is the consensus of non-evil necromancy, such as communing with the spirits of the dead to help them find peace and solving murders, instead of raising undead and enslaving souls for power?

Just wondering who the most infamous Necromancer is lorewise. Was there a founder in the art of Necromancy, like a Lich or something, similar to Nagash in Warhammer or the Lich King in Warcraft? Some sort of evil magician gathering power in a far off land, building his legions for a showdown with the Empire?

The real world European countries used to do trade with heathens even though they were considered pagans, for silk and spice with China and India. Does the Empire have a similar trade with the Pagans of the East, or are they equally as xenophobic to them and just plunder their ships?

Just tried Hawaiian Style BBQ pulled pork for the first time Friday. I now understand that Pork Bun Vendor from Sleeping Dogs. "A MAN WHO NEVER EAT PORK BUN IS NEVER WHOLE MAN"

What are the favored retrofuturist aesthetics of those here? Do you like Steampunk and the variety of other 'punks it spawned? Do you like the 80s dark scifi like the Alien ship Nostromo with exposed wire, dim lighting, and shadowy metal corridors, like Doom 3? The shiny chrome of what the 1950s thought the space age would be like?

Thanks man. I've been going through things for a while. Struggling with my own beliefs, wanting to be accepted by others, wondering if I should censor my own beliefs to get approval from my family and acquaintances in a sadly vain hope they'd hang out with me more like they used to when I was younger. Been having a lot on my mind to think about, with the world as a whole, and its effects on my mental well-being and how that carries over into my social life.

Tell me if you've heard of these bands: Alestorm, Windrose, Nekrogoblikon, Gloryhammer, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, Powerwolf.

That's it. I really love the architecture styles put into the original Thief games and The Dark Mod. Makes it feel like an actual place you wouldn't mind living in.

I found an image on 4chan of a remake of the outside of Bafford's Manor. Won't let me post it, says the file's too large.

I disagree. The American Revolution brought freedom to the colonies. Then the Civil War brought freedom to the slaves.

Why the hell would I support ISIS if I hate the Taliban? I hate theocracy. And it's not about making the war go on longer, although I don't mind if that happens so long as freedom is maintained for the Afghanistani people and the current terror we see with young war brides being taken and schools being shut down is stopped.

The founders were Hydro_Glyph and Dirtymeat, Dirtymeat being leader of the fanbase or "UBD Milita" whilst Hydro_Glyph was the original founder. Zevais and MrFisto were some prominent members of the UBD community.

For those of you who have been interested in a wide array of game genres, you may remember the buzz years back for Spore, a game whose online servers shut down not so long ago. Spore was an "evolve your own alien race" game, which got a lot of great publicity and was a lot of fun. I remember a big ad for it in Boston some years back when I visited it on a school trip. Sadly, EA consumed the smaller company that made it, Maxis, and sucked it dry, as it has done to many small game companies. One community within the overarching Spore creator community, started by a user called "Dirtymeat" and 2 others, was Spore UBD, or "Underground By Design". They pushed the engine to the limit to make the normally cutesy game into a horror show, utilizing asymmetrical glitches and other glitches prior to updates that added asymmetry, unique color schemes reminiscent of gore, and unique placement of parts to resemble bones to create mutant abominations. They may have even been responsible for inspiring the later Creepy and Cute parts pack, as well as the spinoff Darkspore. They were usually well received in the community, although there were a few "cute purists" who hated them for making a "cutesy child game" into having a horror subgenres. With the later Galactic Adventures expansion, they were even able to try their hand at horror game adventures within the game.

There's a resistance group that's holding off the Taliban currently in one of the cities. I'll go search up where again. Edit: Ahmad Mahmoud is their leader, in the mountains of Panjshir.
