Just say you'll be protesting at the rose stadium and then charge tickets for the counter protestors. If it's going to be dumb gladiatorial fights, make money.

I think Forza reached its Zenith at 360. Everything is just an add on after that. I say the same for Gran Turismo.

Also, I miss the Capcom Cel Shaded racer. They keep trying to make a good looking but horribly thought out version of Cel Shaded games. They look rendered and not drawn.

That's going to be on my list article, so thanks.

There is a deeper understanding to the idea, middle earth is different enough that Tolkien brought in known historical subjects to help understand things. Frodo is old English for smart one, but that's not his actual name. Tolkien used Frodo to explain him, and his name, which is in a completely different language.

It's a great pace for general searching, but specifics can get annoying. I went looking for videogame history and found 3 books. Car design had a book. The comics selection was nice though.

There is a bookstore in Portland called Powell's. It's got a large selection of very little. There may be 3-4 books on any given subject, but they cover a lot of subjects. It's 5 floors high, and a city block wide. The bottom floor has 2-3 coffee shops, and the rest is books. The prices are way too high, and I have never found a comfortable chair. I think it represents Portland perfectly.

Did I mention the elevator has doors for each floor, so you never know which one will open up?

You can also be Standard. Nothing wrong with it. My wife keeps pestering me to be in IT. I'm like, I'm old and would be checking servers in space.

It's like believing the Feudal system will be good this time because Lords and Ladies are cool in all of those stories.

I think there is one in Oregon as well. But, the rest jives with what I am assuming.

I discovered my kids wanted to be replaced by a puppy because he kept putting leashes and dog treats around the house. Now it's just Me and New Pablo. Life is weird.

FFS, you don't do the hazing ceremony for crossing the Bermuda Triangle as a recruitment video!

I'm of similar feelings. Lewis County is in the Northwest I believe.

Armored Core is sort of a Gran Turismo of Mecha games. It's an arcadey simulation, so you have to know what you are doing to move forward.

Agreed about DRG. I want to play it when I have more free time.

I go to several websites every day, and my news feeds are full of stuff. Then I hit social media for more.

I've been seeing a lot of references to it. You run a hessian village that survives by doing jobs for other towns. It's a survival adventure city builder type.

It seems a lot of Disney investments in the left have crumbled suddenly.

So they fired their best customer? Good to know.

He creates what his paycheck says. I think a lot of his fame got his head, and ended his first marriage. The second marriage was a bad move.

I see him as human.

I give him a lot of room because of the works I still love. He's also been a friend of friends and helped them.

So I hope that man is coming back out.

China has gone through several dynasties. The end usually looks like what we see now.

Incompetence has to reach a certain level before it is fought against. Ludwig III had several castles and buildings in his honor before the people and military revolted against him. The French revolution was started by upper class folks who thought they could just control the mobs. China went through 3-4 leaderships last century and we don't talk about it. So the incompetent need to pass an insane level first. I thought it was happening during Covid, but I was wrong.
