I found this wikipedia alternative possibly containing his (admittedly unverified) early life. Here it is as follows.
International Socialist Upbringing
Thaddeus Russell was born and raised in Berkeley, California; he lived about three blocks away from the Black Panthers' national headquarters. His parents were part of the International Socialists (IS). By joining this Trotskyist organization, they left their middle-class lives to work in the heavy industry to organize the proletariat to join for revolution. Thaddeus Russell's father heavily influenced his childhood from an ideological perspective. While working as a computer programmer, he organized a union at the Northern California headquarters of the National Forest Service. He met Russell's mother at a Young People's Socialist League meeting. Thaddeus was conceived a year later while on their tour of Europe visiting comrades in London and Paris. His mother became a clerical worker at UC Berkeley to organize the secretaries and bring about a communist revolution. His stepfather left his world to become a steelworker and a truck driver for Safeway. The couple would host meetings at their house where they would discuss Marxist theory and the union shops they should infiltrate.
According to Russell's mother, he wanted to be in the IS when he was 10 years old. As a result, he ended up going to college wanting to learn more about socialism so that he could perfect it in his adult life.

Muslims believe that Jesus faked His death on the cross, using the powers of Allah to have someone else die in His place, and they deny His deity as the Son of God. That they grant Him the title of "prophet" doesn't make up for denying who He really is.
One passage (of several) from the Quran:
- And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah," - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of 'Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ]:
- But Allah raised him ['Iesa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise.
- Quran 4:157-158
I won´t use archive sorry, too much hassle
It's literally as simple as copy pasting a link and a click of a button. It's not some esoteric magic black box that only tech wizards can use.
And with this policy of not giving clicks to the enemy, I would not be able to switch on the Internet
Do us all a favor then, and spare the rest of us from your dumbassery.
many alternative sites contain misinformation about Covid vaccines too telling people they are dangerous.
Considering what I've seen on this board, they aren't wrong.

Why are you giving clicks to the enemy? Archive always! https://archive.ph/wBA5E
Kiwi Farms has it, all of it. Whatever my issues with that place, they at least continue to adhere to the mentality of ARCHIVE EVERYTHING, which is more than I can say for the people here these days.
P.S. : Are they deliberately speaking retard? They are unintelligible.
It's goes by a few different names. "Ebonics" and "African-American Vernacular English" (AAVE for short), but I personally call it what it really is: Ghetto Speak.

Thing is, on a surface level I knew that even then, but I will admit to having a lapse in judgement (plus being somewhat inexperienced at the time and not knowing how to safely "Arrgh" newer more modern games at the time that I didn't want to risk it). On top of that, I just wasn't expecting such a massive downgrade coming from Civ V which I put a lot of hours into both pre- and post- Brave New World, that it burned me that much more.
Needless to say, I learned my lesson the hard way.
It's going to suck, no question about it.
I was dumb enough to pay full price for Civ VI shortly after launch, and because exploring a 4x strategy game takes longer than 2 hours, that's $60 I'm never getting back. It was inferior to Civ V (talking base game to base game here, let alone the DLC) by every measure.
If you don't already have Civ V with the Brave New World expansion, I suggest taking a look at FreeCiv (an open source game based more on Civ II and Civ III than anything that came after, in active development since 1996, with the option for both desktop install and playing from the browser).
Edit: Or if you are willing to put in the effort, try to get Civilization II: Test of Time installed and working alongside the ToT Patch Project.
Have you seen the Phantasy Star Remasters for the PS2?
Japan only, only covers the first 2 games, and I don't know if there are any English fan translations.
I think they got rereleased for 3DS.
There is a 3DS game, but it pertains more to Phantasy Star Online than the classic titles.
Isn't Derek Smart still updating it?
Yes, but there are foundational flaws from the very beginning (v1.0) never got fixed, flaws that got passed on to every iteration from that point forward, which results at some point or another in crashes and (sometimes) save file corruptions, and the crashes will happen frequently. Even with the most recent Universal Combat free version (unsure about the $30 DLC that he charges for to receive the more recent updates, but I bet it is still the case), with all of its additional features and polish, contains these same flaws.
I would put up with everything else wrong with these games if it meant no crashing when attempting to use one of the game's many features. Examples for such crashes include (but is not limited to): entering a planet's atmosphere, warping to another planet/system, dropping off a mining drone planet-side then returning to space, docking at a space station, or just for seemingly no reason at all. Even something as simple as the world's RNG spawning in NPCs (hostile or not) has a chance to cause the game to crash at some point, and most damningly, the crashes have no rhyme or reason as to how they are caused or when they will happen.
It truly hampers what is supposed to be a long-term experience, and I can only count a handful of times where I made the game save last past 1 in-game day before corrupting.
Source: I've played BC3K(v2.0 & v2.09), BC:Millenium, and eventually Universal Combat since off and on age 8
Sarcasm aside, the plot of Phantasy Star 3 had very little to do with what came before or what would come after, bordering on being noncanon. Even if it is as worthy of a remaster/remake compared to the rest of the series, all that would do is make its plot stand out all the more, and it would need to be completely reworked in order to fit in within the universe of PS 1, 2, and 4.
No, he is implying that we are the ones who will get banned, because of our jannie who can't stand when people start Noticing(TM).
Assuming an ideal world where 0 wokeness makes it into the works and no legal bullshit?
-
Mechwarrior 1,2 (+ Mercenaries, Ghost Bear's Legacy), 3 (+ Pirate's Moon), and 4 (+ Mercenaries, Black Night)
-
Derek Smart's BattleCruiser 3000 AD (play v2.09 in DOSBox Staging sometime, you'll see why)
-
Starlancer (with Wing Commander 1+2 thrown in for good measure)
-
Any number of CRPGs from the AD&D and 2E D&D days (although there is a recently released remake of Wizardry 1 that I've been wanting to try out)
-
Jane's Combat Flight Simulators originally published by EA
-
Battletanx: Global Assault (the gameplay could use just a slight polish, more and better AI etc, but it would benefit more from better sound and graphics)
-
Crusader of Centy (basically, this was Sega's attempt to compete with Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past while doing some things a little different, but it is stuck on the Genesis/Mega Drive, as it never got rereleased.)
-
Phantasy Star 1, 2, and 4 (change up the gameplay of PS 1 & 2 to match PS 4, up-res the art of 4, and change the art of 1&2 to match 4's style while making more shots, among other changes)
-
Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels (if you were to remake this game, the potential modern version would be if you combined Space Hulk: Ascension and Space Hulk: Deathwing into one big game, a First Person Shooter/Real Time Strategy/Turn Based Strategy 3-way hybrid)
-
Starfighter 3000 (best version is locked to an OS that is more foreign to me than even Linux)
-
Total Annihilation (all it needs is a bigger UI or UI Scaler for resolutions above 720p, that's it. That's how polished of a game it is, that a game from 1996 not only natively supports HD and widescreen resolutions, but does so well minus the tiny UI at 1080p+. Mods more than cover any gameplay changes one would want.)
I could go on and on and on and ON, but I'm stopping here because of how long the list would be.
I've always made the argument (IRL) that the only "good" Democrat was Andrew Jackson, and even then there is room for debate.
But that's okay, because Emma has 2 moms! /s

We're screwed, aren't we...?

Reminder that the media buried the stories of a dog and little boy getting Monkey Pox faster than Thomas Crooks when it came out that it was mostly (if not exclusively) spread through sexual contact. We are just relearning what the ancients knew thousands of years ago. Case in point:
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. - Leviticus 18:22 NKJV
and
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. - Romans 1:26-27 NKJV
That would require Dom to get his head out of his ass and hiring more mods, something he has demonstrated time and again that he will never do (even if it takes this board, if not the entire scored.co domain, down in the process).
Paging u/Lethn
These blokes might just be crazy enough to try this.
It was nice knowing you. Our jannie can't have us identifying problems and proposing solutions now, no siree Bob.
Dispensationalism has probably got to be one of the most damaging things to happen to Protestant Christianity, on par with the invention of the term "Judeo-Christian" (which just so happened to have come about in roughly the same time period).
Going far above and beyond simply having a different view on the book of Revelation, it is probably one the biggest reasons that a good chunk of Christians today are at best far too aloof and naïve about things going on today (and things to come, not just biblically speaking here, either), or at worst cowards and cucks who care more about maintaining the status quo (…whatever that is post-government shutdowns) and continuing to have petty inter-denominational squabbles than about forming a unified front against the left that has made leaps and bounds infiltrating the Capital "C" Church (mainline denominations are leftist hives nowadays, being completely unrecognizable from even 10-15 years ago, but the PCUSA and UMC in particular have it the worst; also, the current pope), whose long term goals are the outright destruction of all Christianity.
Lord knows they won't succeed in the long run, but in the mean time, we have a long way to go before we are out of this mess.
Liberals agree with the long term goals of the far left, only disagreeing with the methods used to reach said goal. Anybody not awake by now is not worth saving.
I would get behind that sentiment...
If it weren't for the fact that the group who ruined AAA and indie video games, games journalism, fantasy, sci-fi, tabletop gaming, comic books, TV shows and movies, and English translations and dubs of Japanese games and anime are the same exact people who lied about GamerGate and its motives going on a decade, lied about Trump and his supporters going on 8 years, condoned, incited, and outright participated in political violence with little to no pushback, got us into conflicts we have no business being in, and lastly want us all dead, our children brainwashed and raped, and think it's funny.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for unwinding for a few hours by partaking in these hobbies, but the left force their ideology in all of our faces every single day, and to actively choose to not do anything to combat it; whether something as small as telling the truth about trannies (ie. calling a crossdressing man with his balls cut off a man), or something a little bigger like boycotting (see Bud Light), or as large a task as running for office (see Brandon Herrera's recent attempt which only lost by less than 400 votes); does a grave injustice to those of us who do try to do something about it.
TL;DR You'll only be left alone to do nerd stuff if you take a good look at the left and force them to.
If what I just posted down below is of any indication, he is a flat out communist (specifically a Trotskyist).
