System Shock 2, one of the best horror game FPSes from the 90’s. If you liked the first two Thief games, it was made by the developers of them. Immersive simulations like Bioshock, STALKER, and Prey 2016 were inspired by this particular game. The remaster of SS2 is to be released on the 26th.

Me and the other residents, if there was money to spare. Unfortunately, the economy doesn’t lend itself to getting a job that lets people to be adults and human at the same time. The bread victor shouldn’t have to sacrifice their happiness for keeping the place in better shape.
Personally, I think they resemble Xerxes.
Considering some rando nearly got Trump, and how the MAGATs have dismantled their intelligence apparatus and completely lack an interest in risk assessment…Iran actually has a decent shot. Literally and figuratively. After all, you don’t have to ID yourself if you claim to be a member of ICE. Just wear a mask, don’t use license plates, and carry weapons, you will look like every other random gravy seal.
I hope that Iran will make Project 2025’s backers find out. Our bastard leadership think there are no consequences for doing evil and stupid things, and are in severe need of an attitude readjustment.
The elimination of ghost jobs, for a start. If you have to jump through hoops for a job that doesn’t exist, that instills a strong distrust in society. People need money to make headway in their life, and shit like ghost jobs corrode the feeling of hope.
Once you cannot feel love for living anymore, that is a great deal of space in one’s heart to be filled with hatred.
Six feet under, I hope.
One big worry is that if I fight these bastards, the Democrat-backed apparatus would arrest me for being in the wrong. I don’t want to get into a fight since I am poor and have no friends…but hopefully I have the guts to get involved, if my neighbors start being rounded up.
Part of the reason why ICE can do what it does, is because establishment politicians are not willing to support the concept of antifa. The failure to inspect ICE trafficking facilities, standing aside and letting police abuse protestors, the gentle approach regarding January 6th, and more, all contributes to a disbelief in the Democrats.
Hopefully, local leadership will start appearing. I want to join a ICE Breaker militia. Without support, legal and morale, I might not find it in myself to do what must be done. 😰
The plumber a couple weeks ago showed me some pictures of the pipes from the inside. It explains why I needed filter cartridges for my shower, why my sink needed looking at, how come the toilet was losing flushing power, and why the water heater’s recirculator never worked. Turns out, the thing burned out from debris.
This residence totally needs a revamp, well beyond my means. 😒
The pipes in my residence are at least 60 years old, made of metal, and the resulting water tastes a bit suspect. I get water from the grocery store and put it in the water cooler. Costs about $10-20ish for 20 gallons, but probably far safer than what the tap provides.
Replacing all of the pipes would cost $19,000+. 😨
Being an open source program, the Blue States can modify it for their own taxation apparatus. The money intended for the Federal can be held in escrow, then released into service of the states if the Federal doesn’t negotiate with the Blue States in good faith.
I think that California and the Blue States will make good use of this, considering the shit that the Trump Regime has been pulling.
The victims of the Aztecs would beg to differ. Lots of people were fed to the sun god, to quench its thirst for blood, all to delay Armageddon. Like any other continent, Native America had genocidal maniacs and the Five Nations that resembled a federation. Good and Evil has no homeland, just the feelings that grow inside of people.
Russia’s nuclear arsenal is likely unreliable, the Kremlin isn’t known for keeping their gear in good shape. That changes if the US supplies nukes or expertise in one form or another. Putin is weak right now, and should be tackled before he can tag Krasnov into the ring. Either the EU deals with Putin now, or has to worry about a stronger Russia down the line.
There is no good answer, just the ones with a less terrible outcome.
Considering that Russia is running low on missiles and other war material, and the shield that is Ukraine, Europe shouldn’t be too bloodied if it fights now. A Russia with US-supplied weaponry, possibly launched from a carrier fleet? That can definitely dig into France and Britain’s flesh.
Besides, the saboteurs that Russia uses is already damaging western nations. They destroy internet cables under surf and over turf, power lines, damage factories, hack systems, ect. Sooner or later, they will make a critical hit.
I hope the EU declares war on Russia, kills Putin, and ends Russia as we know it. Russia’s shadow fleets and sabotage of EU nations should be answered for. Russia may form an open pact with Fascist US within a couple of years, which effectively would kneecap NATO for a while and point a dagger at Europe’s back.
Smoke and tear grenades. LOTS of grenades.
Antelope, to become the national animal of Ukraine?
Trump doesn’t even have the class to declare.
