Duke Igthorn posted:Tried Portal Knights? Minecraft but with goals and a plot and better graphics. Not a fan of olde ye timy fantasy and from the looks of it is has the same problem Starbound has where pursuing the goal throws half the game away and there is no reason to build anything as you are just going to move on to the next goal. I am not even a fan of the genre in general. My favourite of the set I have is Infinifactory which has next to zero normal exploration or survival. The exploration comes from discovering how the rules work and how to creatively apply them to meet your goals. After a while you end up with a tool box of ideas you can apply to the next machine or an old one to increase performance. It is the most art from function puzzle/block game I know. I much rather shoot things making them die in awful ways most of the time. Roland Jones posted:You'd probably do better with modded Minecraft, then. Things like Thermal Expansion or Botania and whatnot would give you goals to go for and so on. I tried that or some other mod a while back. Minecraft as I remember it is a badly coded mess that has been superseded even back then. pumpinglemma posted:If you haven't played Factorio, you really need to. Also Zachtronics' puzzle games - Spacechem, Infinifactory, TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O. Yeah I mentioned I have played Factrorio. That poo poo gets crazy. I mean, look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgfwwqwxdxY Tried Space Chem and bounced off it. As for the last two that is getting outside of scope and I don't like programming for most part and I tried learning C++ at one point. eviltastic posted:It just totally blows my mind that Trump is so bad at this that in mere months he's got Jeff Sessions considering walking away from the best chance he'll ever have to wreak the havoc he's always wanted. He touched the poop and he finally might have figured out that you can't polish diarrhoea.

Confirmation, and also some revealing phrasing: https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/872228368049205248 https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/872228757339353088 That specific wording leaves no doubt in my mind that Trump has directly told Sessions, at least, that he wants him to spike the investigation.

ATP_Power posted:As someone close to this issue, this is a terrible breakdown of what happened on campus. If you think the campus was terrorized by bat wielding SJWs or that the protest actions that targeted the President of the college were primarily about the DoA/DoP event on campus you have been given a very poor summary of the story. The protests were largely about campus specific issues related to campus policing and policy, and the email about the new DoA structure got rolled into that action as a minor side component, not the primary focus. I will also add that the new Day of Absence event was a voluntary off campus event that could only accommodate 200 students on a campus of thousands - this was not kicking whitey off campus, and the specific idioms of Bret Weinstein and his rhetorical style and need for his own platform have rolled this into the bullshit reactionary "free speech movement" that's infected the RWM, Berkeley and Portland recently. Thanks for posting this, it's a good recap.

Lote posted:It's a little bit more than denounced. Qatar has no land, sea, or air rights to travel through the 7 countries. They import most food. Shipping is looking like it's completely out. Qatar is going to have to fly in all their food for the foreseeable future. Iran has offered to use its resources to ship food aid directly.  (This may actually be quasi feasible but isn't going to help Qatar's increasingly hosed diplomatic situation in the current Age of Trump environment)
