Huh, so first Shadow of Mordor, and now Alien: Isolation.
Two licensed games, and both getting really positive reviews. Remember when "movie tie-in" was a death knell for a game?

That was pretty much only ever true for games that came out around the same times as the movie.

In fact, neither of those are movie tie-ins; they're only tie-ins if the movie's coming out around the same time and the game is designed to capitalize on that. Spider-Man 2 was a good movie tie-in and IIRC the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game had a better story than the movie, but in general good movie-based games come out years after the movies do (Goldeneye, Shadow of Morder, Alien: Isolation all count for this).

Rangers.  Seriously fucked up boys.  I have some of the 'tweaks' they do, but I'm missing that thing.  And the experience of killing a man.  That too.

Play Galciv 2

Win Galciv 2

There were some weird shenanigans towards the end as far as why the /Drengin/ of all races decided to surrender to /me/, playing a good-aligned Human Democracy. But the real WTF here is afterwards, in the fridge.

You see, I saw that I won the game in seven years. In GalCiv time, not bad at all, even considering I was playing a very quick game. For a second it looked like the Kryyn would dominate the galaxy, but I managed to ally them and everyone but the drengin, who then surrendered to me, giving me their worlds and the diplo victory.

The WTF is that my population of 8 billion people had become ~70 billion+. In seven years.

Let that sink in.

8 billion adults. I think the total was 78 billion or something similar. which means 70 billion people were born within seven years. 70 billion seven year olds. 8 billion adults.

EVERYONE IN MY EMPIRE WAS A MINOR.
EVERYONE.
THERE WERE WHOLE COLONIES FULL OF NOTHING BUT TODDLERS AND INFANTS.
MY MILITARY WAS 25% OF THE TOTAL ADULT POPULATION.


I know the future belongs to the children is a phrase, but you didn't need to take it so seriously, game.
I mean Wow. How many babies per day is that? Like, 300? Bitches literally giving birth to the battle of Thermopylae and still have time to work the factories to make colony ships and bubblegum.
Daycare must be booming.
My entire economy is centered around baby formula and diaper manufacturing.
70 BILLION BABIES IN SPACE.

Since there's no stupid thread any more...

It seems a fair few people are going into GPs thinking they know what's best for them because an app or the internet said so.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's mostly old people. Since they seem to clog the arteries of the GP's office anyway, queueing up outside right as it opens so that the entire morning half of the day is taken up by people in perfectly fine health.

So. Hallowe'en is coming!
Today we learned the school will allow us to come in costumes two days before it happens.
Only rules:
1. No inapropiate clothing.
2. No crossdressing.

At hearing the second rule, people started loudly (and apparently jokingly) complaining, because they said it was, "discrimination against homosexuals".

GalCiv
I bet your workforce was ecstatic when production centered on making more people. Best seven years in your civilization's existence; only to be followed by many decades of agony and regret. So many screams, and it's not even the death throes of your people or enemies; just a bunch of crap that needed to be cleaned up.

Or, even more crazy, is that a solid portion of those 70 billion are alien immigrants from the other species you are allied with, and presumably trading with. That would make humanity a minority (but possibly a plurality) within the Human Civilization. And that doesn't even consider immigration the other way.

My "Take everything seriously" OCD is kicking in.

Oddly enough many crossdressers, though I'd never be able to pull the statistics but it is a sizable chunk if not most, are actually straight.

Was given a 'coupon' for a fast food place by my mom today. Closer inspection of the 'coupon' revealed it to be a photocopy of a coupon.

I don't know what she was thinking. I didn't try to use it.

Sadly... there was a chance that coupon was real.

People getting mad at The Long Dark for portraying wolves as fucking you up. It's not even like it's unrealistic, wolves in -20C weather would very probably be hungry enough to take advantage of a harmless, if small, meal.
And it certainly beats saying that wolves are cuddly and friendly. Excessive caution won't get people killed.

I'm going to guess it's either furries or... uh... no yeah it's probably furries behind most of it.
[tumblrite]How dare you accuse such an innocent animal as a wolf of killing people, that's just a lie spread by Republicans to oppress us. I was a wolf in a past life, which is why I'm unable to work and therefore my parents should take care of me. Also, one of my headmates is a transwolf. You have no idea the horrible oppression we have to face on a day to day basis. You're so offensive. You need to check your fucking singleist, ableist privilege. You are literally garbage. #wolf #headmates #transwolf #singleist #ableist #privilege[/tumblrite]
