  • A security violation? From the guy who said “You’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified, even by thinking about it.” during an interview? From the administration that accidentally texted it’s plans to bomb Yemen to a journalist 2 hours before the attack? You mean the guy that tweeted photos from a satellite so classified, the last guy that leaked photos from it was sent to jail for espionage? The guy that stole hundreds of classified documents and destroyed an unknown number more? Nah…








  • I’ve liked Star Rupture so far, but am I playing it wrong? I was kinda expecting there to be regular attacks similar to Factorio. Instead, after 20 hours of play, I’ve seen only one and killed them all so fast it wasn’t even really a threat. I feel like the progression of conflict needs to be little more aggressive.

    That’s especially coming from Creepy Jar. If you’ve never played Green Hell, which they’ve also got on sale under $3 right now, survival in it is absolutely brutal to start off. I was expecting that kind of difficulty curve.



  • This… Put games on your wishlist, set your wishlist to only show sales, and sort by price. Then only buy games from that list when they go on a significant sale. Plenty of decent games out there regularly go for $5-10 or less. With very few exceptions I refuse to pay more than $20-30 for a game and, even then, only if they’re like 50% off and not likely to come down.

    Also… stop pre-ordering games. They’ll still be there when they do go on sale. You don’t need to play them as soon as they come out. Conquer that FOMO shit and develop some integrity.









  • I can confirm, migrating appears to have solved the problem. Some settings didn’t seem to migrate over, so I’m having to find and change things back now. View changed back to Card. Color settings defaulted to my phone colors. I had to reset Frontpage back to default from All, but, most importantly, the issue is gone and Connect is usable again.


  • It’s funny how easy it is for other people to call for us to revolt as if it’s just that easy. Oh yeah, just all of you get together and overthrow the biggest, most well armed government in the world. Sure… yup. Easy peasy. We do that every other weekend in my country!

    The people of the US aren’t going to rise up and overthrow a government that can curb stomp literally any other formally trained militaries in the world. It just won’t happen. All it will mean is fewer dissidents and an even stronger fascist response in the event of future uprising. We just don’t have any hope of attaining the sort of power.

    If there’s a revolution, the only way is to start from the top down. Formal legal complaint and lawsuits, impeachments, etc. That’s where we’re at right now. If that fails, then we need our officials to start talking dissolution or secession.
