Fuck how much are you spending on thera.py?

I think advocacy groups and other entities that were trying to make changes at a national or state level need to reevaluate their efforts. This election signals to me that the American people do not want these positive changes. They do not want to be civilized.

I think those advocacy groups should make a Pivot to Aid and focus their efforts on supporting the people that deserve it and want it, instead of trying to lift up a majority of people who do not want to be lifted up.

I'm probably a bit younger than you, but that election was the first one in which I was politically aware. It activated me and I've been fighting ever since, but I think I'm done now. My efforts will be spent locally, and will be conditional.

This post does a good job of articulating how I've been feeling. I think last night made it very clear what the character of our country really is. Unsalvageable garbage, unworthy of our efforts to improve it.

Lost little Lemming...

For less money than some gaudy gaming wireless router that you end up replacing every 3 years, you can grab a Mini PC with two NICs, a wireless access point, and install OpnSense.

Your life will be irrevocably changed for the better.

I am Cargon's complete lack of surprise.

Small and medium businesses expect their profits to go up under Trump, but they aren't considering the exorbitant salary they will have to pay their political officer to stay in the good graces of the local chapter of the MAGA Inquisition.

Dynamic recompilation technology?

I enjoyed it but not as much as I expected to. It feels simpler and more accessible than Root. I've heard it described as a trick taking 4X game, but I don't think either of those are very accurate. There's really no exploration happening so at best it's a 3X game and the trick taking barely feels like trick taking, it's something else entirely.

It's a very mean game since you can attack and steal from other players and they can't really do anything about it, because the aggressor is the only one that has any agency in combat.

It also requires players to balance the game. If one player is left unchecked they will run away with the points, similar to in Root.

The card play is the most unique and interesting part of the game. You definitely use your brain but in a way that I haven't seen before.

I'm not a big fan of the map. It's very abstract and sometimes feels like you are moving ships across the face of a clock than across star systems.

I need to give it a few more plays, but so far I like Root and Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy more.
