I appreciate the confirmation of what the Steam reviews are saying. I also don't like the modern marketing model of selling you a partial base game and then selling what was essentially base content as DLCs. I avoid those games. Honest new content is fine. Granted, they seem to be putting a lot of effort into the animations and other fluff of VI, so the cost of development is some justification. The failure of the MOO franchise should be instructive that prettier is not necessarily a better game.

So you've played it? Did you like it?

Heh. All lives matter is part of the backlash, and I'm not pointing a finger at you, you don't live here and probably don't know the situation, not all lives are equally at risk. White people in the US are not generally afraid of the police, because they are not likely to be arbitrarily shot or otherwise killed for no good reason. Black folks have good reason to fear, black folks are killed without cause on a regular basis, and the cops usually get off Scott free. Or, as Larry Wilmore put it, "If you really believe that all lives matter, then you should be taking a stand that black lives matter." Think Jews in WW II Europe. Or, Black Lives Matter, Too. -

Trevor is Trevor Noah, the current host of The Daily show, He does very well, but of course, John Stewart's shoes are big ones to fill. He's from South Africa, and was literally illegal at birth. (Yes, literally, he wrote a book to that effect.) He, like John, is a standup comedian, and you can see him as such on You Tube. Larry Wilmore was one of The Daily Show's correspondents. He got his own show for a while, but it didn't last. He is quite insightful and knows how to present information. His show focused on black issues, and often Black Lives Matter; important topics, but the narrower focus probably cost him viewership. -
She is clearly in charge of the computer space. I like how she is chillin' with the dog face inches away.

Yesterday, we just got a confirmed case the next county over, dude returned from Washington State. What was weird was how quickly everybody knew about it. OK, also weird was that I heard about it on BBC news.

I've played I, II, III, and V. I've heard IV is good, have it from a bundle, but got V at the same time; haven't got around to doing IV. The reviews on Steam do not like VI. I also like Endless Legend, which is somewhat similar.

You're right. He planned to write a book about tank tactics, but never got to it. So the movie scene is fiction; but Patton was well versed in the history of warfare.

John Stewart publicly denied that The Daily Show was a news show when he debated Fox hosts. The context was, "(We do X), but you do X as well." "Yes, but I'm a comedy show." Still, I agree with you, he was not a bad source of current events information, especially putting it in perspective. Ditto John Oliver, (not on Comedy Central) Larry Wilmore, and others. And of course, Trevor. South Park, not so much. I enjoyed the show at times, but it was often off target. The bastards. -

It helps them focus. I did some reading, and there was quite a bit of push back on the negative perception of the use of Ritalin. Of course, drug studies being what they are, I don't think anyone really knows what the effect is for an individual who takes it for a decade in their youth. The South Park episode was very negative about the use of drugs in schools. South Park being what it is, you can't really expect a nuanced portrayal. -
It's a quote from the movie. Hence the quote marks. In context, Todd Ingram is asking the question, as he's getting busted by the vegan police. Also, he;s asking if eating chicken is vegan, not if chickens are vegan. Yes, he's that dumb. "I don't know the meaning of incorrigible!" Narration text pops up: "He doesn't."

"Chicken isn't vegan?"

Be careful, cats can pick up parasites from the critters they kill. Toxoplasmosis is the notorious one.

I tend to view this as "You were showing initiative and undirected interest? We can't have that." "I'd just lose focus sometimes," describes being a child. Being able to concentrate and focus is a good thing. I can see why the schools like the Ritalin solution; they have little means to make kids comply relative to back in the day. You've seen the South Park antidote? -
I do hope "vegan superheros" refers to Todd Ingram in Scott Pilgrim vs the World.

It should still allow it, you could be an ex pat, or visiting. Quick Google check thinks it's one of the extensions you're running.

So, after the storm, she was cat-atonic?

We hit 70 F again. By late afternoon it was cool enough to need a jacket.

He has roles he does OK in. I wouldn't say he's great. -

I liked Waterworld, and the much panned Postman. -
Huh. My dad was in the Caribbean, vectoring planes to North Africa, and later Europe. Also Army Air Corp.

I did it, cast my ballot for the primary. I went with Elizabeth Warren. I don't know that she has the chops to take out Agent Orange (I stole that nickname), but there does seem to be a groundswell of support around her, so maybe? I like how she;s held corporate entities accountable, I hope she continues that. -

Although Disney cartoon fare, it isn't bad, and Roger Miller's singing and voice acting definitely stand out. Trivia: the tune for the Hamster Dance from the earlier days of the Internet was lifted from this film. Many folks dislike Kevin Costner movies, but I found Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves enjoyable. Here's the full list. This b&w one with Errol Flynn is a classic. -
Minor historical note; the US was invaded by Japan in WW II, he may have taken part in that defense.

Shemya is almost off the edge.
