Fired it back up recently and went to one of the main hubs. There was a few other people running around, but it was pretty dead.

But yeah, the pre-cataclysm area was gorgeous at the time. The soundtrack is AMAZING. One of my favorite gaming experiences.

Half-Life 1

One mod specifically (Sven-Coop). Been playing almost daily since 1999.

I still fire up Duke 3d and Quake mods from time to time as well. There are lifetimes of user-made content in some of these older games.

The Balkanized States of America

CNP wants California to peacefully leave the union, but know that it may not be so peaceful.

California needs to create and fund a state militia. We need to convince Oregon and Washington to do the same and then have those militias train and work together.

The Constitution allows for militias. Not that the Constitution matters anymore. So we should do it anyway.

I'm in.

Because you're right. Once Pandora's Box is open, that's it.

The Constitution has been nullified by not being adhered to. Our branches and Congress have ceded their power to what is effectively a king. Our Supreme Court justices have been proven to have taken bribes and are passing rulings completely in opposition to the Constitution without providing reasoning. The bar for president has been lowered to gutter-level. And a significant portion of our populace has been radicalized by lies from propaganda networks.

It's over. There is no coming back from this. You can't legislate your way back to reality because we'll never have the numbers necessary in Congress to make it happen and the president has been given the powers of a king.

It's balkanization for the Un-united States or total collapse across the board as we all cling to each other as we drown. I'm voting for balkanization.

I know it's something that's going to take people a lot of time to wrap their minds around, but the United States as we've always known it is over. This is what happens when you let conservatives have too much power.

And?

Blue states can only continue supporting red states that bite the hand that feeds for so long.

And in this case, biting the hand that feeds involves removing human rights.

So yeah. It's time to balkanize. Blue states will be fine. Red states can suffer and die for supporting a traitor and his treasonous party.

What would stop

Guns and bullets.

Time to get armed.

B...but the Republicans PROMISED that they wouldn't touch medicare or social security.

Are you saying they lied?

Are you saying conservatives are liars?

Yup.

It's balkanization for the Un-united States.

Cool experiment while it lasted.

That's called fascism.

Time for the wealthy blue states to break away.

You don't bite the hand that feeds.

These people could still be fabulously wealthy and do anything they want for their entire lives while also ALLOWING for a healthy middle class and things like universal healthcare and living wages.

I capitalized "allowing" because I think it's absurd we're living under their domination and I think it's time we forcibly take what we need from them. The time for being amicable is over.

Yeah, we probably shouldn't have people who horde so much wealth it negatively affects the economy.

Sounds like the perfect conservative vacation destination.

Just don't say anything against Dear Leader or you'll come back catatonic then die like that other American tourist.

Hear that conservatives?

You can visit the country you're trying to make our country look like.

You can get a good long look at what your dipshittery leads to. But only if you have the balls to leave the resort.

I live in California and I can buy weed at the weed store.

Texans can't.

Californian women have protected human rights that Texan women don't.

So I guess my state has more freedom than Texas.

Yup. Anti-gun my whole life. Still am. But I'm in the process of buying my first firearm.

Historically, fascism has to be put down with bullets.

And America's descent into fascism continues unabated.

Buy guns. Buy ammo.

And just like that, I never rented from Hertz again.

Trash country continues circling the drain.

Remember folks, always vote against Republicans in the most likely manner to prevent them from having any level of power.
