You should play it on your reel-to-reel.

Reminds me of a lot of the devices in the Cyberpunk 2020 RPG rulebook.

Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community? (gameranx.com)

Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she’s unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it’s not too violent, it should be fine

Came here to say this. Plus I would imagine a 5 year old would really enjoy the plot, the characters, and how great the world looks.

Some people have already mentioned it, but Elder Scrolls Online may be what you're looking for.

  • Huge world with more being added all the time
  • All sorts of houses you can get and decorate, including some pretty large open areas with almost nothing on them.
  • Craftable weapons, armors, jewelry, along with potions, enchantments, and food
  • Craftable furniture, as well as stuff you can buy in-game
  • Newly implemented antiquity system to get rare furnishings and equipment by digging it up in game
  • Easy to play solo, easy to find a guild to join
  • Player-driven guild stores to allow you to buy almost anything
  • Walled-off PvP areas that are only there if you want to interact with them

It's been my go-to MMO for a few years now, and I haven't run out of things to do in it. Some of the things are in chapters that you have to buy, but there's a lot of stuff you can do without any of that, if you want to try it for a few months. I'd highly suggest at least checking it out.

There are separate rankings for emulated runs versus original hardware runs. He (allegedly) submitted something as an original hardware run that was run off of an emulator.

Using an emulator, you can alter the game's performance, change the speed, set a save state and revert to it if you fail at something, etc. and then play it back and record that. There's no way to know if that's what happened, but the video he submitted does not show that it was recorded using original hardware.

I mean, Amber Diceless is pretty light on the rules. If you know the source material, it's pretty intuitive as well.

GOP debates impeaching Merrick Garland after McCarthy surprise (thehill.com)

House Republicans are debating whether to focus impeachment efforts on Attorney General Merrick Garland after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested an inquiry against him, taking some members by surprise after much of the GOP impeachment furor had been directed at other Biden officials.

You should really be using "and/or" in those statements.

The one that I played the most of was Baito Hell 2000 / Work Time Fun. A weird almost Warioware style game, but instead of microgames that you played for 2 seconds, it was a job. Some of them were boring as hell, like capping pens at a pen factory, or sorting male and female chicks, but there was just something about it, where you got into a rhythm and just went. I could go for hours, capping pens while watching something on the TV I didn't need to pay too much attention to, or retrieving golf balls, or some other weird mini game.

I still have my PSP, and I'll still pull it out from time to time, just to play this game.

I'm a big fan of both authors, and one book that I enjoyed that made me think of them was "Memoirs Found in a Bathtub" by Stanisław Lem. It's more cold-war paranoia comedy than light comedy, but I still enjoyed it.

One game that no one's seemed to mention is ANNO: Mutationem. It's more of a hack and slash type 2D pixel style game, but the cyberpunk themes and settings are all there.

With upscaled images, you can prove who owned the original images, which is fine.

Back in the day we used to just call them "Doom Clones". If it wasn't for Doom (2016) we could have gone back to that.

"Russia's security forces are reported to be in disarray following the attempted mutiny by the Wagner Group." - Long update that is bonkers inside (twitter.com)

1/ Russia's security forces are reported to be in disarray following the attempted mutiny by the Wagner Group. It seems to have been perfectly timed for a moment – Friday night – when many personnel were too drunk to respond quickly, while others are refusing to fight Wagner....

Where's that VHS tape with Swan Lake? Feels like we're going to need that soon.

As a Driller main, I always enjoy the Point Extraction and On-Site Refining.

In Point Extraction, I get to wander around and dig into walls to get the 'Quarks out, and if it's the tall cave, I can just throw them down. It's nice to go around the cave and explore and feel like I'm doing something.

As for On-Site Refining, I get to get the pipes up to the pumpjacks, taking the most direct routes, drilling through walls to make the shortest paths and be ultra efficient. There's just something so satisfying about drilling through meters of solid rock to get right to a pumpjack.

Sparkling water tastes like the Sprite machine is broken.

I mean, by the time they finish it, he's going to be over 100 years old...
