Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism complete with transhumanism a la Iain M. Bank’s The Culture series

Hey I’ve been on a Spirit flight.

I get it.

Goddamn right!!

The only thing I need on a screen is the GPS, everything else is an annoyance.

Thanks for doing some homework on behalf of lil ole me!

Got a link to the quoted article, by chance?

Well you don’t want to eat every fish you catch, that’s not good for the fish population. You want to ensure you’re only taking fish that have had a chance to spawn, determined by size.

Catch and release fishing is fine for the fish. If you gut hook them and they won’t survive, well, you eat that one, but it’s also easier to avoid that if you know what sort of fish you’re looking for and change your hook/lure accordingly.

Go fishing.

For real. Take some time to focus on something new and “pointless”. Soak in some gorgeous views and learn about your local waterways. Reconnect with the land around you.

Life’s easier with a clearer head.

Both. If there’s a screw, I’m tightening it, baby.

Yeah, fuck it. I’m gonna razz em tho.

I’m telling the kids “take two or three!” And when the costume-less ones show up I say “hmm, no costumes? You can only take two or three then.”

Phenomenal excuse to dress up in costume and get drunk

There needs to be more costumed holidays

Factorio!! This work week has been hell and I have a week PTO starting Monday. So time to put in some effort in an asynchronous multi-player game with a friend.

No Man’s Sky is doing a Halloween event, too, so I might play around in that to get some unique cosmetics. And the Expeditions usually have a tailored experience that’s always fun.

I’ve been playing Papers Please in the 30 min or so I have for gaming in the evenings lately. I might play more of that to see if I can get all the endings.

Unless the weather is nice. Then I’m going fishing.

No Man’s Sky or Elite: Dangerous might offer you a stellar exploration experience you would enjoy over Starfield.

No RPG elements in either, though.

Dang I really thought the title of this game was Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Won’t Let Indy Shoot Dogs for a hot minute I need to get some more coffee

I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark. It’s harder to fit in a lil fishing after work and I can’t wear shorts and crop tops outside on the deck.

Winter stinks!

MicroProse has really been filling a niche I’ve missed with these “old style” games. I mean, maybe an odd post to comment this specifically on, because this is and old game, but their recent releases in general seem to harken back to an older era of gaming that I’ve missed.

Hey, maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll get to try their hands at another MechWarrior!

Every American made car I’ve owned has been a piece of shit constantly falling apart and needing repair and maintenance. I thought that’s just how cars were for a while. Then I started buying Asian and German cars and realized Americans just can’t make a good car.

US politics. It all just sucks. I’d rather not live in interesting times

I’m off that week so I predict I’ll be pretty drunk regardless of the result

Ah Paradox is finding their model of releasing unfinished games and getting around to solving it later less appealing!

That is a little disappointing, actually, as Paradox made some damn good games this way. Crusader Kings 2, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris were all made like that.
