They truly think their neighbors are about to march on them with guns blazing and demands for random minorities.

So it will be a good game in 3-5 years? Yeah, I kind of figured.

Start with Tin Tin. Moebius is the guy who influences everything. The Incall Series is his most famous, but he has done a ton of other stuff. The Cimmerian is raw awesome. I'm really tired so nouns are playing games with me, but mechaniclords or something is part of a huge series of books to enjoy, which I put in the same place as MechWarrior or Warhammer 40k.

There's a lot of indie comics influenced by it as well. The Surrogates for example.

Wait, wait, wait. So, a Hispanic country is forced to legalize a bunch of immigrants who are taking over their country?

The poetry here is so beautiful.

This is what all those ad accounts are for. No one wants to talk to these people

Literally, yes. The companies compete, the people working for them swap back and forth all the time.

True story, some of the Lefty Friends think Alex Jones is getting a cabinet seat.

Ok, I have been wondering what the heck anyone has been talking about when they bring up Gaetz. Most of my lefty friends are getting drunk and saying it's a terrible mess and Trump is Hitler. I guess this means they're backing off.

They'll just say it's about immigrants.

So, remake, a basic game, a DLC of a really good game, and another attempt to make a Mario 64 for Sony?

Was this just a bad year?

That's sort of the war going on. The journalists today are fighting to stay relevant and this in power. If Twitter ect replaces them, the entire industry falls apart.

I learned English in Scotland, so I always figured that was half of it. The other half is it was used as I described in a very specific part of Idaho.

That is one of the messed up parts of our modern day. Then I remember that it used to be that only the government or upper class could lie, and they got away with it. Now they can't because we can lie and see through theirs.

It's an interesting subject because there are more people who celebrate their Irish heritage outside of Ireland than in it. Even more interesting is how many traditions have been brought back to Ireland or changed because of that. The pumpkin instead of the turnip. The constant references to to Samhein, which follows Irish traditions and doesn't get pronounced like it's spelled, or Halloween. St Patrick's day wasn't much of anything until the American Celebrations went over the top.

The same happens for my native Germany. I recently found out Oktoberfest is Bavarian, which explains why I never remember celebrating it. If you want a German holiday, celebrate Christmas. I still don't know how we get candles in trees safely. The only thing celebrated by Argentines is the fact that we're better than everyone else at football.

It's sort of what I studied and taught about as an academic. Fascinating, but too many people wanted me to choose a loser and winner.

Because I found out it's a terrible word in American and I don't know how it will be modded. I learned it meant that thing over there as a kid, and didn't know the other meaning until I was much older and shocking friends when I asked why their car was parked so far away.
