I don't vote because I believe voting is an immoral act, but for those that do vote, I think this is a significant comment. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil, and that may be a bridge too far for some.

I celebrated six decades in this planet last Wednesday.

We have two dogs, both of them excel at the whole uncondtional love thing. Even when we don't deserve it they do.

I am older than Pong. I've lived through all the art styles, and going backward to pixel art usually frustrates me. I'm a huge fan of Synty's low polygon style. I think they do great work

This is a really interesting take, I've never thought about RPGs this way. I'm guessing this is why Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time, followed by Red Dead Redemption and and GTA V.

Thanks for giving me a new take on this.

Couldn't have said it better. Figuring shit out is half the fun.

Wood ships.

David Weber loves Age of Sail warfare. In fact Honor Harrington is a tribute to Horatio Hornblower.

There is a Sci Fi wrapper around the story.

None of the characters are who I want to be when I grow up. Where Honor is. But the story telling us top notch.

Huge Honor fan here. Have you read Weber's other huge series, Safehold. Not space opera, more like sea opera, but it hits many of the same buttons that Honor does.

Been ages since I've read Michener, but that man knew how to tell a story.

My mother died of dementia. I'm closing in on 60, so already my mental acuity is on the wane.

And now any time I can't remember something I kind of stress.

I'll hopefully not go down that road, but those events scare the hell out of me.

I laughed.

They're working her too hard and paint her too little. In seven years she'll be at 30 years and it will be time to be done.

It's beautiful.

From where we live a bunch of interesting places are within an easy drive. Nashville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati are all three hours or less away.

The people are mostly kind and mostly polite.

The cost of living is relatively low.

The pace of life feels slower.

I can't recommend Kentucky enough. It ain't blue, but it meets your other criteria. House prices are very reasonable. We live just outside Fort Knox and when the Army is done with my wife we're moving back

Winston Churchill, how did you find your way through those bleak dark days, and encourage a nation?

Playing 2 right now and I love it, but the difficulty! Playing on the easiest difficulty just to figure out what's going on everywhere.

My wife is in her first play thru.

My number one gamer is all time.

XCOM2 and PGA Tour and watching my wife post Skyrim.

CDs? I started with Vinyl!

We are all responsible for our own mental health. The OP is not responsible for anyone's mental health but his own.

Saying some discussion needs to be hidden away because someone somewhere may react negatively is patently ridiculous and damaging to society.

I have a trigger, and just like my self-harm it is atypical, I am triggered by parents showing pride in their children. Doesn't matter if it's real life, or film, or book. It always turns me into a wreck, and sometimes has me believing I'm worthless in dangerous ways.

Should my expectation be that those around me not show pride in their children? Should I demand warnings on all material that depicts parents showing pride in their children? It's ridiculous. My trigger is MY responsibility.
