    *shudders* I fucking LOVE the X-Com revivals, but this shit is traumatizing.

    Least Favourite Part of Your All-Time Favourite Game(s)?

    One of my favorite games of all time is Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen (aka the one on SNES back in the day). I love that game so much, and I've played and replayed it dozens of times. It's a complex strategy RPG with innovative (for the time) battle modes and a large cast of interesting...

    Former President Trump Thread

    … at $59.99 each! According to an article I read, it’s adorned with images of him and his branding. In gold-colored writing. It’s too bad Christianity doesn’t have a convenient story about falsely worshipping a golden idol.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    "Baltimore is in Maryland, which is near Delaware, which is where President Biden's home state. There can be no doubt now that the Biden Crime Family, during one of Hunter's drug binges, deliberately aimed this boat at a bridge to throw off the House's impeachment hearings." "Also, Benghazi."

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    I enjoy teaching. I don’t know why. I like knowing that my job is making the world a better place. It’s certainly not the only job that can say that, but it’s the only job I’ve ever had where that’s true. I like seeing the epiphany moment when students get it. I like when they use something I...

    [Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

    Alien 3's biggest sin is that it had an amazing script and an amazing director... then it threw away the script and stripped the director of meaningful creative control. It's not just that the movie has problems; it's that the movie could have been, should have been so much better.

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    Nope. There are mountains of research showing that children need mental breaks during the day in order to retain new skills. Playing during recess is a very important part of learning and growing. Besides, most teachers have to work during recess in one way or another.

    [Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

    I'm not familiar with the source material, but I don't really see anything bad about this. It looks like an inoffensive kids' movie with a slightly bigger budget. What am I missing here?

    Random Video Game Crap

    I use Safari on my phone most of the time I browse HF. Imgur links are always dead; I click on them and it takes me to a blank screen. It’s only when I paste a link directly that I can get the images to load. When I’m on my desktop I use Chrome, and I don’t have any problems. So it’s clearly a...

    The problem is not “Wendy’s is doing surge pricing!” The problem is “If this bullshit surge pricing plan works for Wendy’s, every fucking fast food and/or restaurant chain will start doing it too within the next 5 years.” And that is just one more straw on the capitalism camel’s back.

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    The FTC allowed Ticketmaster to gobble up and merge with other sellers on the specific promise that they wouldn’t do anything to raise prices for the customer. And the FTC actually believed them, the fools. Anyone could have seen this coming.
