  1. To each their own... I'm a fan of Turn Based Strategy myself, but that's considered a niche genre.
  2. As long as it explains the curses, it can't be bad can it?
  3. He'd probably think it was an oversized scanner there to blind him and beat him up, then grow very attached very rapidly, then get pissed at DOG when he forces Gordon to go to Ravenholm.
  4. Halo Master Chief... But only long enough to get pissed at the mandatory Microsoft account to even do singleplayer.
  5. A creaky ceiling/floor in my new house.
  6. Just bought Halo Master Chief Collection, and have been getting more and more pissed at the fact that it requires a Microsoft account just to play the singleplayer, even if I don't want to have achievements.
  7. 123456789O.
  8. The false part was that he had already violated the Prime Directive by saving them in the first place. It's well established that a distress call always trumps the PD. After that, he has to do everything he can to have his presence have the least possible impact on the culture, not cause events to continue as closely as possible to what they had been. That meant that he had to send the drugs, because not doing so would actively put the Federation into their history books as "the bad guys that made us suffer" instead of as a footnote of "this one ship saved our crew, and then left". It's not just about making things continue as if they had never been there at that point, it's about having as little impact on the culture as possible.
  9. Not according to the Chinese government...
  10. So Data lied at the end when saying why she died... That's your theory?
  11. That shows that Ross wasn't the only one to misremember the episodes they review... She literally had a critical error in her hardware that killed her, not fear.
  12. China considers Mongolia a part of China, and you can see how they've treated Hong Kong and the "one country, two systems" thing they said they had going on there... If you're unaware, here's a nice "short" summary for you... https://imgur.com/user/SavingHongKong
  13. Original War.
  14. You think China cares what Mongolia calls their government?
  15. Command & Conquer, Red Alert, and Zero Hour.
  16. The Division 2 The new "season" stuff is actually kinda fun...
  17. Computer fans.
  18. Can't report them if you aren't allowed to test for it...
  19. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisioning_(telecommunications)
  20. Yeah, but then my modem glitched, and the provisioning file got corrupted to not allow access to any websites... Comcast support wasted an entire day trying to get my local IP address for no reason instead of just refreshing the provisioning file, all because their system said "nope, looks good from here". (they can do it manually, as I've had it done many times over the years) I had to do a really old trick to deliberately trigger my modem to wipe the provisioning file, and redownload it. Now I'm getting full speeds for the download, and almost 19Mbps for upload... So Comcast customer service is absolute shit, but once the network is working, it's decent.
  21. And now Comcast just did "scheduled maintenance" and my upload speeds are now in the 18Mbps range...
  22. That's not hard to do... We get that many from heart disease every few years in the USA...
  23. Neat! Too bad it wasn't finished... It could've been a big player.
  24. Some interesting takes on this, but the fact was that he interfered because it was a distress call, and those take precedence over the Prime Directive. Once the emergency had been taken care of, (the people from the ship retrieved) he had to do his best to put the genie back in the bottle. (not easy mind you) Sadly, in this case, that meant effectively dooming both planets, as he could not interfere to help either side, including not being able to tell the addicts that it wasn't plague related. If you pay close attention, he really wanted to help the addicts, but to do so would actually be a major infraction of the Prime Directive. Seems you may have started off with a false interpretation for your analysis. I'd still like to see more of this though.
  25. Ok, so I got the agreement from my parents to get paid by them to go up a tier... Now paying $10/mo more for 600/? internet, and getting ~700/~16 with spikes to 870/70. Worth it IMO.
