I’m becoming convinced that the reason they keep making the White House look like Mar-a-Lago is that he’s slowly losing his memory and they keep trying to put him in places that seem familiar.

I so wish I had not bounced off RIMWORLD, I may need to revisit.

And hence my curse.

I know, I know, I try to keep gaming on the consoles to avoid mentally contaminating my work space on the laptop, but maybe if I put it on the home office computer I don't use much ...

Rome Total War WITHOUT mods is worth a revisit. Maybe my favorite of the series.

Discussing games with a friend, why I keep going back to FALLOUT 4; I finally clarified that my ideal game is "THE SIMS with occasional firefights" and that's a limited marketplace. STATE OF DECAY 2, a bit. I'd take a TOTAL WAR with base management but a smaller -- oh shit it's CULT OF THE LAMB.

Missouri’s minoritarian red state government, which cemented its own rule 5 years ago by overturning an anti-gerrymandering law passed by a majority of Missourians, is now successfully clawing control of its blue urban centers by overturning minimum wage, sick pay, and control of our police.
Missouri adopted a law that ends St. Louis’ ability to run its own police, transferring control to the GOP-run state government. The law also requires St. Louis to commit 25% of its budget to policing.
Missouri Officials Seize Control of St. Louis Police, in Latest Bid to Shutter Local Reforms
