And that was the only folly the people of hexbear ever took on...

S4 was my first smartphone, back then there was an option to choose landscape mode as well as portrait and auto-rotate. We used to be a country.

I knew the return of TC69 was going to go badly when there were two separate "I'm back" threads in the span of a day

Pedantic correction of spelling and grammar?

Its actually got a lot of really interesting ideas in it. The last two novels (there are four) essentially jump into completely unrelated to the game territory, but the characters you've been following are so good and the ideas so crazy it works.

As for the Mormons, they aren't treated as heroes, just that their survival prep and accumulated arms make them able to hold out. Corporal Taggart (doomguy) is a lapsed catholic (when he prays he in incapable of coming up with an image of god and ends up visualising the faces of the horrible abusive nuns from his catholic school) and Arlene Sanders had a brother who went Mormon and became a sexist jerk, so they are both pretty wary. The one Mormon who ends up coming with them is a good guy but also is having crisis of faith. The Mormons are pretty mad about Arlene being a combat soldier who is a woman too. They don't stay very long because they have to go kill more aliens of course.

Resisting the urge to nerd out on the cosmology established in the third and forth book lmao

They land in salt lake city for the hell on earth portion, and the Mormons are mega survivalists who have basically one of the last real bases against the invasion.

I do remember them mentioning that positions in the IRS and other government agencies allowed the Mormons the ability to stockpile the stuff they needed to do so, but the actual IRS and american government turns collaborationist with the alien invaders at the first opportunity.

Book club but for the DOOM novels please, I've read those things at least fifteen times.

I never hear anyone talk about this band, you can't even find most of their lyrics online. Def one of my top three man and woman fronted folkish bands.

Bonus song including maybe my favourite song where a woman screams her ass off. The last chorus is like folk Battle of Mice vocals. Gives me CHILLS.

 

I just saw the trailer. The fact that anyone is still interested in a movie like that is shocking and bewildering to me. Heroic american soldiers in Iraq in 2006?? Wtf r people on?

 
 
 

It hangs up going between screens and even stutters scrolling sometimes. Its forgotten how to do widgets and I cant add them anymore. If I turn night light or grayscale on the colour shifts but doesn't go back if I turn it off, requiring a reset. A few other things... Should I reinstall it? Is there a chkdsk or malwarebytes type program I can use? Is it possible to reinstall the original pixel OS?
