A very solid game. Manages to successfully wed the replayability of procedurally generated games and the resource management and logistics of citybuilders.

I suspect I culturally missed the mark: [Boss Hogg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_Hogg) was a villain in his story, so I thought that was the reference...

Not really? The poem is from the perspective of Martin Niemöller, a man who absolutely saw the stages of increasing repression as the unfortunate costs of a safe society. Until the Nazis came for him.

More analagous to kinda aloof WASPy Democrats who are all about clearing encampments in the pursuit of urban 'beautification' or the very moderate incurious Republicans.

Noone? George Washington warned about them in his farewell address?

I was faffing about in the designer; did they remove the option for power windows entirely?

It stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's basically a subscriber feed of websites - you choose a website to get updates about and the aggregator will keep an ear out for updates.

You're caught up.

The film has both Wag and Dog capitalized. The term has only Wag capitalized.

It's my understanding (not British, nor a lawyer) that they weren't technically 'charges', but bonus time, like how in the US, you get bonus time for robbing a liquor store with a loaded gun instead of an empty one (very American, I know).

The only reason this counts as fiction is probably because noone asked him what he thinks.

Is there a reason she's dressed as an amazon? Beyond the thirst-trap?

Only kinda. It's a permutation of how the Old Ones used it - going in without protection. Only this time you're taking on life without a condom for your mental health.

On the plus side, there's very little chance of birth defects!

“He should not have been shot, but I will say this: We had no reason to suspect that he would shoot the neighbor from inside the house.”

The man who was being very aggressively territorial wouldn't shoot someone from inside his house?

As much as I'm assured that Melania's a bad person, I always find her the most relatable person in these stories. Florida is indeed a swamp.

Wild to me that the fox thought a street was a good napsite. Maybe it was raised in captivity, and has no concept of "prolly not a good place to crash"

I'll do you one better! The interracial marriage ruling should be left to the individual!

God forbid men try to practice having empathy in a private setting.

But yeah, therapy would probably help a lot.
